Shen Jialiang looked at Chu Chen with a sneer and said, "Why wouldn't I dare? If you lose, will you let us handle whatever?"

Chu Chen heard this, waved his hand, and said, "Fine, but that's not enough."

"Oh, what do you want then?"

"Simple, betting like this is too boring. How about adding some stakes?"

"Alright, what kind of stakes do you want?"

Chu Chen heard and laughed, saying, "I'm a very ordinary person. If we lose, you can handle us as you wish and add a stake of one hundred million Alliance Coins. But if you lose, you must kneel and apologize to us. Do you dare?"

On hearing this, Shen Jialiang's face changed. He couldn't come up with a hundred million Alliance Coins; this was a blatant strategy by them to humiliate him.

"Haha, easy for you to say. I don't believe you can come up with a hundred million. If you can, then I'll agree to the bet," Shen Jialiang sneered.

Chu Chen smiled and said, "What's so difficult about that?" Then he beckoned to Zhang Yuyan.

Zhang Yuyan immediately understood Chu Chen's intention and directly took out her bank card, saying, "There's two hundred million here."

Chu Chen couldn't help but look at Zhang Yuyan, his eyes full of surprise.

But he soon regained composure and held up his bank card, asking, "Can anyone recognize this card?"

The onlookers all focused their gaze on the bank card in Chu Chen's hand.

"This is a black card issued by the Alliance Bank. You must have a net worth of at least one billion to hold one," a young man exclaimed.

On hearing this, Shen Jialiang's face sank and he looked at the young man coldly, saying, "Are you one of their plants?"

The young man stared at Shen Jialiang coldly and said, "I am from the Zhao Family of Vermilion Bird City. I hold this card myself, and a mere hundred million Alliance Coins is nothing to me."

When the crowd heard this, they all gasped in amazement, and even Zhang Yuyan showed a look of shock.

Chu Chen, seeing this, hurriedly asked, "Is the Zhao Family of Vermilion Bird City very powerful?"

Zhang Yuyan nodded and said, "Indeed, the Zhao Family is one of the four major families in Vermilion Bird City, with three King Level experts within the family."

Chu Chen showed a shocked expression upon hearing this; according to what he knew, even the City Lord's Mansion of Black Mist City had only two King Level experts. Doesn't this mean the strength of the Zhao Family is comparable to that of a medium-sized city's City Lord's Mansion?

Apparently, many people knew of the Zhao Family's reputation, and soon everyone was jealously looking at the young man.

Chu Chen cupped his hands towards the young man and said, "I am Chu Chen, thanks to this fellow student for speaking out righteously."

The young man smiled and replied, "My name is Zhao Wuji. No need to be so formal, Chu Tongxue. It was just a small favor."

Upon hearing the name "Zhao Wuji," the onlookers once again buzzed with excitement.

Chu Chen, seeing this, looked at Zhang Yuyan in confusion.

She explained in a low voice, "Zhao Wuji is the prodigy of the current generation of the Zhao Family, and he is also the direct grandson of the current Patriarch Zhao."

Chu Chen heard this and was enlightened, realizing that there was a hidden prodigy here.

Zhao Wuji was now curiously observing Zhang Yuyan, his eyes filled with curiosity.

He was extremely curious about Zhang Yuyan's identity, someone who could take out a black card issued by the Alliance Bank and was familiar with his family.

Zhang Yuyan, seeing this, had no desire to clarify, instead standing aside pretending not to see anything.

Chu Chen came before Shen Jialiang and coldly said, "Do you agree with Zhao Tongxue's words?"

Shen Jialiang and others hearing this, their faces became unsightly.

They felt even worse than swallowing a fly. Zhao Wuji was the direct grandson of Patriarch Zhao; with such status, he would not deceive them.

Moreover, they dared not play tricks or deny responsibility before Zhao Wuji.

After a moment of silence, Shen Jialiang spoke solemnly, "We naturally trust Zhao Tongxue's words."

Chu Chen heard and smiled, saying, "Very well, now take out your money too."

Shen Jialiang and others' faces were extremely unsightly.

Chu Chen seeing them, immediately mocked, "What? Don't you have the money? It's okay, I'm very forgiving. Although you bullied my friends earlier, as long as you sincerely apologize, I can choose to forgive you."

Shen Jialiang's expression had become extremely grim.

He glared at Chu Chen, gritting his teeth, and said, "I accept this bet. Meet at the Cyan Dragon Gambling Egg Pavilion at two in the afternoon; I'll bring the money."

Chu Chen heard and laughed, saying, "That's perfect, I'll be waiting for you there."

Shen Jialiang snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Clearly, they were eager to return to gather the funds.

Once they were far, Chu Chen spoke loudly, "The bet is set. I ask everyone here to bear witness."

The onlookers, with an eager show to watch, naturally responded wholeheartedly.

"Don't worry, Chu Tongxue, we'll be there promptly at three in the afternoon."

"We will definitely go. A gamble of one hundred million Alliance Coins, anyone who doesn't go is a fool."

"Indeed, it's my first time seeing a gamble like this, never even heard of it before."

The crowd was chattering excitedly, everyone acting unusually enthusiastic as if they were the protagonists of the gamble.

"Come on, let's go eat something else," Chu Chen waved to Wang Lu and others.

Only then did Wang Lu and the others come out of their shock.

Wang Lu slapped Chu Chen's shoulder and said, "Brother, you've gone crazy; that's a hundred million! If you lose, even selling you wouldn't cover it."

Chu Chen said indifferently, "The money is borrowed from Zhang Yuyan; she didn't say anything, so why are you worrying?"

Wang Lu was instantly speechless and looked at Zhang Yuyan with scrutiny.

Zhang Yuyan didn't explain anything; she knew it would only complicate matters more, so saying nothing was the best choice.

Meanwhile, in the villa area of Cyan Dragon Academy, in one villa near the center of the northern area.

Shen Jialiang and others recounted the events to the elder before them, although they cleared themselves completely.

The story turned into Chu Chen and others proactively causing trouble and using money to humiliate them.

The elder looked at Shen Jialiang and others and revealed a cold smile.

Seeing this, they couldn't help but shiver.

"Hmph! Do you think I'm stupid? A Daoist School genius from a border town dared to provoke you. Don't they like courting disaster? Now confess honestly," the elder pounded the table coldly.

"Director, it was like this..."

Not daring to hide further, they explained everything honestly, though still concealed their ulterior motives.

Their scheme towards Zhang Yuyan and another girl was framed as an attempt to swindle money.

After pondering for a while, the elder said sternly, "Jialiang, how confident are you in this gamble?"

Shen Jialiang immediately showed delight and assured, "They are first-timers at gambling eggs, without any technique, only relying on luck. It's easy for me to deal with them."

The elder nodded and said, "Very good. I'll provide the hundred million, but if you win, I want half of it."

Shen Jialiang hastily replied, "Of course."
