Chapter 2374
When the black card slipped out of Si Yi’s hand and landed in front of the table of the staff working at the gambling house, not only the staff working at the gambling house, but even the students from the surrounding rich families and second-generation rich kids saw it, they were all stunned on the spot!
They were not mistaken!
Si Yi had just placed a tick next to the name “Wei Lin”, which meant to place a bet on Wei Lin.
One billion US dollars!
When converted into RMB, it was a total of six billion US dollars!
In this era, this amount of money was enough to rank on the national rich list!
One had to know that no matter how rich the second generation of the rich was, they would already be able to reach the sky if they had a few hundred thousand a month’s pocket money in their hands!
However, this handsome man who was wearing the Royal Emperor Academy’s uniform and did not accept any rebuttal placed a bet of one billion US dollars! ?
This was simply an unbelievable thing!
“You... You, you...”the gambling staff stared at Si Yi with his round dead fish eyes and stuttered. After a pause, he took a deep breath and continued,
“You really have... No, you really want to use one billion US dollars... to place a bet!”
The staff of the gambling house thought Si Yi had gone crazy!
He must have gone bankrupt to place a bet!
And he even placed a bet on a girl!
Crazy! Crazy!
The fencing competition had a history of 50 years in the Royal Imperial College, and there was no record of a girl winning the championship!
And he actually wanted to use one billion US dollars, a huge sum of money that outsiders did not even dare to imagine, to bet on a girl!
The probability of losing was unusually high!
And after placing the bet, when the competition ended and the bet was wrong, it was equivalent to the entire one billion US dollars being wasted!
“You can’t place a bet?”After hearing the stuttering and hesitating words of the gambling staff, Si Yi frowned, clearly unhappy.
“No, no, no! This amount is quite large, I’ll go and ask the higher-ups for their opinion before making a decision! You, please wait a moment!”The staff member hurriedly called his higher-ups on the spot.
In just a few minutes, he received a response.
“The higher-ups have already agreed! May I know your, May I know your surname?”When the staff member received a response, he quickly spoke to Si Yi in an extremely respectful tone.
However, Si Yi did not pay attention to him. He only left an extremely indifferent sentence and turned around to leave:
“One million dollars. Remember to transfer it to this black card.”
What he meant was that the girl named “Wei Lin”would definitely not be the champion in this fencing competition!
Everyone present was shocked by Si Yi’s words. The crowd could not calm down for a long time.
Si Yi, who was the main culprit behind the chaos, had already left.
...
Three statues were placed on the fencing field of the fencing competition.
On the eve of the competition, Yun Jian and the other students who participated in this year’s fencing competition were invited to stand side by side on the fencing field. They listened to the host introduce the three statues that represented the history of fencing in front of the entire school’s teachers and students:
“Of those three statues, one of them is the dean of our Royal Emperor College, John, who founded our Royal Emperor College in the last century.
“The taller male statue is a fencing genius from the last century who graduated from our Royal Emperor College. His talent in fencing has spread all over the world. He once sat on the seat of the world’s number one fencing champion. For a full twenty years, no one could shake his position of the first seat until his death!
“And the owner of that female statue is bojas, the famous female fencer of the last century. She is famous all over the world in the field of fencing. She is even more famous than that male fencer! “She is a legend in the field of fencing! “No one has been able to surpass her since ancient times!
“Do you see the foil in her hand? It is said that as long as you have that foil, you will never be defeated in the fencing competition!
“And the owner of that statue of a woman, the legendary fencer Boaz, after a shipwreck, the legendary foil that the one who owned it, the one who won the fencing competition, disappeared with its owner. From then on, no one ever saw that legendary foil again... . .”
