Chapter 864: As If He’d Caught the Scent of Getting Rich Overnight

Seeing that there were no problems with the agreement this time, Wang Yun lowered his head and scribbled his name on it in a few swift strokes.

He then handed the paper back to Baren.

Baren’s eyes shone as he stared at the agreement in his hands, as if it had already turned into a check with endless zeros.

The other side had beaten six opponents in a row, but this time he had brought in Wang Yun. A man who had slipped in and out of crowds time and time again. No matter who his opponent was, he had never tasted defeat.

Baren thought smugly that he would have to pull over all of his liquid funds.

Baren forced down the grin that was threatening to spread across his face.

With great enthusiasm, he urged the two of them to eat.

“Brother Wang Yun, Brother Colin hurry and try some. The chef here makes Chinese cuisine pretty authentically.”

Wang Yun merely shook his head lightly.

“I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Baren, but there’s no need. We already ate before we came. My main purpose in coming was to talk to you about Colin. Now that it’s settled, we’ll go back and rest. Please, enjoy your meal.”

Seeing how firm Wang Yun’s attitude was, Baren could not very well insist.

“Since you’ve already eaten, I won’t force you. I still have some matters to handle myself, so I won’t keep you here.”

Wang Yun and Colin stood up.

Wang Yun knew that with an opportunity to make this much money, a profit-driven businessman like Baren would never let it slip.

He was definitely rushing off to reallocate his liquid funds.

So Wang Yun politely took his leave.

Just as they were about to go, Baren suddenly called out, “Brother Wang Yun, Brother Colin, wait a moment.”

Baren walked over.

Wang Yun looked at him, a little puzzled.

“Mr. Baren, is there something else?”

Baren wore a gentle smile, but it was absolutely sincere this time.

“Brothers, I know there’s another brother in your room who isn’t very mobile right now. I’ve booked the entire hotel upstairs for a year. During that time, you can stay as you please. If you need anything, just tell the security at the elevator. I’ll instruct them to satisfy whatever you require.”

Wang Yun nodded and did not refuse.

He really did need a new place to rest right now. And Big Mouth still was not able to move much. He could only lie there.

“Then I’ll thank you in advance, Mr. Baren.”

Baren smiled broadly and waved his hand.

“No need to be polite, Brother Wang Yun. I’ll still be relying on you.”

After the pleasantries, the two of them left the private room and headed back to their room.

Seeing Wang Yun “protecting” Colin, the viewers in the livestream were filled with envy.

“I want Big Brother to protect me too!”

“Exactly! Big Bro’s boyfriend energy is off the charts! So handsome!!!”

“Wait! Didn’t you hear the odds just now?”

“Ah! I can practically smell the scent of getting rich!”

“Does anyone know where this match is being held? I’m getting on a plane right now!!!”

“I think I heard earlier it’s in Mu City?”

“Hey, wait for me! Let’s go together!”

Just as everyone was getting worked up, excitedly talking about getting rich, the loudest few suddenly fell silent.

Because their accounts had been muted.

The reason given: spreading unhealthy ideas.

The few of them looked helplessly at their computers—then, almost in perfect unison, they pulled out their phones and bought tickets on the next flight to Mu City.

When the elevator brought them up, the security guards’ attitude toward the two of them became even more respectful.

Baren had clearly already given his instructions.

The guards stationed by the elevator greeted them proactively.

“Mr. Wang Yun, Mr. Colin, you’re back.”

The two of them nodded and walked into the room one after the other.

As soon as the door was shut, Colin let out a long breath.

“Whew. Brother Wang Yun, you really just laid it out and said it straight to Baren like that. Is it really okay?”

He was worried Baren might leak the fact that they were participating in the show.

After all, Wang Yun was a living, breathing brand name.

Wang Yun gave him a slightly mysterious smile and said with certainty, “Don’t worry. He won’t.”

Colin thought about it, but still could not figure it out.

“Why not?”

Wang Yun smiled and shook his head.

“Did you forget about the betting?”

Colin immediately showed a look of realization.

He had actually forgotten the biggest money-maker in underground fights. And according to the current odds, betting on their side had already become an outrageous two-to-one payout.

It was an insanely high line.

Not only had he never seen odds that high before, no one else had ever even heard of odds that high.

A sly grin also appeared on Colin’s face.

Why shouldn’t he seize this chance to make a quick killing too?

Big Mouth, lying on the bed, was about to go crazy listening to the two of them speak in riddles.

He had always loved sticking his nose into the fun.

But now he could only lie there, wide awake.

He was already bored out of his mind, and seeing the two of them still speaking in half-phrases made it feel like a swarm of ants was crawling around in his chest.

Itchier and itchier, until he could not stand it.

“Boss, Colin, what are you talking about? Why can’t I understand any of it? Did I miss a ton of important information?!”
