Ye Xiao stood in place, deliberately furrowed his brow, thought for a moment, and looked at Brother Tong, suddenly saying, "Brother, tell me, how much is my girlfriend worth?"

Brother Tong was taken aback by Ye Xiao's words at first, but then he immediately glared at Ye Xiao and said, "It seems you truly don't understand beauty at all, daring to ask how much beauty is worth. Let me tell you, to you perhaps it can be calculated in price, but to me, beauty is priceless."

Brother Tong was not some so-called love guru. Before this, he always believed that money could completely buy love, because he often went to nightclubs to buy love, and each night the love was different. However, all those loves combined still couldn't compare to a single strand of Wang Luoxin's hair, which is what Brother Tong thought in his heart. So now that there was a possibility to get Wang Luoxin, of course, he had to say pleasing things—a bit of flattery, which for someone like Brother Tong was as easy as pie, and he could say anything shameless as if it were true.

"Ah, a beauty is priceless indeed!" Ye Xiao immediately gave a thumbs up, looking at Brother Tong and saying, "Brother, I really didn't expect you to be such a person of integrity. However, regardless of your character, we still have to handle things according to the proper process. If you want to get the beauty, you have to bet against me, just like Xinxin mentioned before—a competition. Whoever wins has the say, and the loser absolutely cannot cause trouble because they can't accept losing—this is the rule of the game. However, there's one more thing that's essential for betting on this game."

Brother Tong, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, also considered his integrity pretty decent and said, "Go ahead, what is it?"

"The stakes!" Ye Xiao replied earnestly.

"Hmm!" Brother Tong, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, nodded a bit—yes, there truly should be some stakes, so he immediately said to Ye Xiao, "Then tell me, how much do you want me to wager?"

Ye Xiao thought for a moment before suddenly looking at the lady in the shop, saying, "Sister, how much do you owe them? What are the interest rates?"

"This…" The lady didn't expect Ye Xiao to suddenly ask her this question. Actually, it wasn't just this woman; even Brother Tong and his crew didn't expect Ye Xiao to still be concerned about others at this moment.

"I'll speak for her!" Brother Tong suddenly chuckled and said to Ye Xiao, "Her man was playing at our place and borrowed 100,000 yuan from us. Now, counting the principal and interest, it's already 136,000."

"So you're saying, the interest is 36,000?" Ye Xiao looked at Brother Tong and asked.

Brother Tong nodded and said, "That's correct."

"Then your wager is 36,000. If you win, take the beauty. If you lose, the 36,000 interest transfers to me, which means this family only owes you 100,000, and you must also give them an additional ten days of grace." Ye Xiao earnestly looked at Brother Tong.

Brother Tong really didn't expect Ye Xiao would say that, immediately laughed and looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "Do you have some relationship with this family?"

"No relationship!" Ye Xiao replied.

"Then why at such a crucial moment are you standing up for them?" Brother Tong looked at Ye Xiao and coldly said, "You should know what this means when you do this."

Ye Xiao said, "Of course I know. Let's see if Brother Tong dares to follow through on what I said."

"How can you talk to Brother Tong like that?" One of Brother Tong's underlings glared at Ye Xiao and shouted loudly.

Brother Tong chuckled and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay; let's give him some face today, haha, alright, let's do as you said."

"This..." Wang Luoxin suddenly looked at Brother Tong and said, "36,000 is really too much, Brother Tong, don't agree to it; there are always unexpected events. What if you lose? Wouldn't you lose a lot?"

Brother Tong, upon hearing Wang Luoxin's words, immediately burst into laughter, pointing at himself and saying, "What did you say? I lose? Haha, I tell you, there is no way I will lose. In my case, only the 'one' will appear, never 'unexpected'. So, don't worry, haha."

At this moment, Wang Luoxin suddenly said, "I'm just reminding you; after all, right now I have nothing to do with you. Your win or loss doesn't really concern me."

Upon hearing Wang Luoxin's words, Brother Tong suddenly wanted to compete with Ye Xiao sooner, because Wang Luoxin was quite right—before the competition, Wang Luoxin was still Ye Xiao's woman.

Brother Tong immediately looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Tell me, where to compete?"

"Words alone are not proof; let's sign a note as proof." Ye Xiao said.

Brother Tong, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, believed it was quite logical—if he won and this woman didn't want to follow him, who could he complain to? Wouldn't he be played? So it's safer to write the terms down.

Brother Tong said, "Alright, let's do as you say, but think it through. Once the note is written down, there's no turning back."

"Hmph, although I don't have your six-pack abs, I'm still a man." Ye Xiao said loudly, then coughed twice.

Seeing Ye Xiao coughing from trying to exert a bit of strength, Brother Tong immediately laughed and said, "You think you can compete with me? I think you better give up, don't bother Brother Tong with so much nonsense."

Ye Xiao ignored Brother Tong and looked at the lady in the business hall, saying, "You should have no shortage of white paper and pens here, right?"

"Ah?" At this moment, the lady in the business hall was stunned by what was happening in front of her. She couldn't imagine that she initially should have endured all kinds of humiliation from Brother Tong but didn't expect things to develop to this stage. Moreover, she was more and more unsure whether this young man asking for paper and pen was a good guy or a bad egg.

"What's wrong? White paper and pens, is there a problem?" Ye Xiao smiled at the woman.

"Oh, okay, alright." The woman quickly took out an A4 sheet of paper and a pen.

Then, Ye Xiao quickly wrote down a simple note and handed it to Brother Tong.

Brother Tong was initially worried that Ye Xiao would play some tricks on the note, but he looked and laughed because the whole thing seemed beneficial to Brother Tong. The only downside was that Brother Tong had to win to get everything.

For Brother Tong, winning against Ye Xiao seemed like a piece of cake, too easy.

So Brother Tong was very satisfied with the note and laughed heartily, saying, "Great, let's settle it, give me the pen, I'll sign it."

"Alright, Brother Tong, you're indeed straightforward." Ye Xiao looked at Brother Tong and said, "I definitely won't cheat you."

Brother Tong was already impatient by now and didn't even notice how strong Ye Xiao's handwriting was when he signed it—not something from a weak person who coughed after moving a bit.

"Brother Tong!" At this moment, a subordinate pulled Brother Tong.

Brother Tong was now overwhelmed by joy, believing he could definitely win over the beauty, so he didn't consider anything else.

However, his underling was somewhat smarter, at least not overwhelmed by joy like Brother Tong.

"Brother Tong, could there be something fishy here?" The underling whispered, "Where do pies fall from the sky?"

"Are you jealous of me, or do you think I'm no better than that weakling?" Brother Tong became a bit angry hearing his underling's words.

The underling immediately kept quiet out of fear.

The underling's words, Ye Xiao heard them clearly, as Ye Xiao was barely at the Peak of Xuan Rank as a Martial Artist. For ordinary Martial Artists, the six senses were already very keen, so Ye Xiao's were even keener.

However, Ye Xiao heard it clearly but didn't say a word about it.

"Let's start!" Brother Tong looked at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao glanced at Brother Tong and said, "Alright, but if here, what if someone bumps into the glass, and what if the glass breaks and injures someone?"

"So many 'what ifs'?" Brother Tong coldly replied to Ye Xiao, "Then where do you want it?"

"I see outside there's a floor of bricks; let's go outside. At least that won't inconvenience anyone." Ye Xiao said.

Brother Tong looked outside, nodded, and said, "Alright, as long as you are willing."

Obviously, to Brother Tong, Ye Xiao was already a sure loser, and beating Ye Xiao required no effort.

So everyone left the business hall.

When Brother Tong went out, seeing Ye Xiao hadn't followed but stood at the doorway, he immediately frowned and said, "What are you dawdling for? Hurry up."

Ye Xiao ignored Brother Tong and instead looked at the woman who also came out from the business hall, saying, "If I win, will you sell me that Black Wheat Note for 899?"

The woman really didn't expect Ye Xiao to still have the mind to say these things to her at this moment.

"Can you... can you really win?" The woman had no confidence in Ye Xiao at all.

Although Brother Tong wouldn't be described as having a tiger's back and a bear's waist, he was at least solidly built, while Ye Xiao was the kind of person who was naturally thin. Currently, he was wearing a cashmere coat that fits him perfectly, looking weak and frail.

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "If the Black Wheat Note is sold to me for 899 yuan, I'll definitely make an effort to win."

The woman glanced at Ye Xiao and said, "If you win, I'll give it to you for free."

The woman also understood what it would mean for Ye Xiao if he won.

Ye Xiao immediately laughed and said, "I won't take something from someone for free; while I'm not exactly a good guy, I won't forcibly take others' things either."

After saying this, Ye Xiao walked straight toward Brother Tong's side.
