51: Make a lot of money

Even Shen Xi was shocked by such a huge sum.

Two point one billion was not a small amount.

It could be said that in the Outer City, he was already a top wealthy individual.

After all, the Outer City was not like the Inner City, where transactions often ran into the billions; in the Outer City, even prominent figures had a total net worth of only a few billion.

"What's going on?"

Shen Xi couldn't help but ask.

It was only then that Xiao Mei finally came to her senses and explained, "According to your instructions, during the first life-and-death battle with White Robe, I placed all the money you gave me. The odds at the time were one to three, so I earned three hundred million."

"Then, when it came to your life-and-death battle with Purple Robe, because I wasn't sure if you still wanted to bet, I took a big risk and put all three hundred million I'd earned on your side. The odds were one to seven, and then..."

An unexpected pleasant surprise!

Shen Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He had indeed told Xiao Mei to place a bet, but at the time, he wasn't sure if Purple Robe would fall for it, so he hadn't instructed her to bet on the second match.

He hadn't expected Xiao Mei to be so decisive at the critical moment, making the decision for him.

He also hadn't expected the odds to be so astonishing.

One must know that the odds changed according to the betting ratio. He had bet a full one hundred million, which should have lowered the odds significantly.

However, he had forgotten that this was a special occasion.

All the wealthy and influential people in the Outer City were gathered here. Even if each person only bet a few million, it would accumulate to tens or even hundreds of billions.

One hundred million was indeed not much in that context.

Especially against Purple Robe, everyone thought he was severely injured and wanted to recover their losses, so the betting amount was even larger. This led to his one hundred million directly multiplying to two point one billion.

"Good, you did very well."

Shen Xi patted Xiao Mei's shoulder and took ten diamond coins from the one billion Purple Robe had given him, placing them in Xiao Mei's hand.

"This is your reward."

Xiao Mei was stunned.

She looked at Shen Xi in disbelief, swallowed, and said, "This, this is for me?"

Ten million!

Even if Xiao Mei worked in a hotel for ten lifetimes, she might not be able to earn that much money.

Just by daring to bet again, she had received such an astonishing reward?

"Of course, if I give it to you, just accept it."

"Thank you, Sir!"

Xiao Mei was incredibly excited. She knew that her destiny had begun to change from this moment.

With this money, she could live a good life in the Outer City.

"Chu He, come here."

Shen Xi then waved to Chu He.

Chu He immediately came before Shen Xi.

Chu He had enough confidence in Shen Xi's ability to win from the very beginning.

But even so, he was still shocked.

Winning also came in different situations. He never expected that Shen Xi could defeat a Great Accomplishment of Yuanqi expert with a one-sided crushing victory, and by the way, swindle... no, earn so much money.

Shen Xi took out a diamond coin and handed it to Chu He, then whispered in his ear, "Take this money and find someone named Li Chengfeng. He will tell you what to do next."

Counting the days, the matter of collecting heavenly spirit stones could also be put on the agenda.

Chu He, naturally, could also participate.

Furthermore, Shen Xi believed that he would be very willing.

Li Chengfeng and his group collected heavenly spirit stones for money, while Chu He sought to become stronger.

heavenly spirit stones could greatly accelerate a Martial Artist's Cultivation speed, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Yes!"

Chu He took the money and left the hotel without further delay.

Just as this matter was about to conclude.

Several wealthy individuals, with shifty eyes, had no choice but to brace themselves and approach Shen Xi.

"Something wrong?"

Shen Xi raised an eyebrow, immediately knowing their purpose.

These people were all those who had lent money to Purple Robe earlier.

As expected, as soon as Shen Xi finished speaking, these few immediately started complaining, one after another, with mournful faces.

"Brother Shen, of the one billion you just got from Purple Robe, thirty million was what I lent him."

"I also lent twenty million."

"Me too!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xi deliberately put on a stern face and said, "What does your lending money to Purple Robe have to do with me?"

"But, wasn't that money taken by you?"

A rich man couldn't help but ask.

"This was given to me by Purple Robe to make me agree to the life-and-death battle."

As Shen Xi spoke, he deliberately took out the bag containing one billion and shook it.

"But Purple Robe only had five hundred million on him, and the other five hundred million was borrowed from us!"

"If Purple Robe borrowed money from you, then you should ask him for it! Why come to me? Are you planning to make me repay this money?"

As soon as these words came out, many people scratched their heads awkwardly.

Their purpose in finding Shen Xi was naturally this.

But such words were really difficult to say.

After all, they lent money to Purple Robe, and if they wanted someone to repay it, they should ask Purple Robe; what did it have to do with Shen Xi?

But now that Purple Robe was dead, this was an uncollectible debt. If they didn't find Shen Xi, they would have no idea how to get their money back.

"Now that Purple Robe is dead, all his money is in your hands. If we don't find you, who do we find?"

Someone spoke up, steeling himself.

No matter how embarrassed they were, they had to speak.

Having lost twice in a row, they had already suffered a huge loss.

If they didn't recover some of their losses, even they would feel the pain.

"How dare you!"

What surprised everyone was that Shen Xi's voice suddenly rose several octaves.

He glared fiercely at everyone, enunciating each word: "Earlier, Purple Robe borrowed money to force me into a life-and-death battle. He planned to kill me. You knew his purpose, yet you still lent him money, clearly intending to take my life!"

"I haven't even settled this score with you, and you still dare to come looking for me? Do you really think I'm a soft persimmon that can be kneaded at will?"

"Even if my temper is good, Shen Xi, given your actions, I have no choice but to seek revenge!"

As he spoke, Shen Xi exuded the Aura of Minor Completion of Vital Energy, and his eyes were filled with Killing Intent.

"This, this..."

Everyone was instantly stunned into silence.

They had only been concerned with getting their money back, how could they have forgotten that this was a ruthless character who didn't even put Kong Wen in his eyes and had successively killed White Robe and Purple Robe?

"Brother Shen, you've misunderstood."

"We knew you would definitely win, that's why we agreed to Zi Pao's (Purple Robe) borrowing money."

"That's right, that's right, that's exactly it. You've really misunderstood us."

"We don't want this money anymore."

Everyone spoke through gritted teeth.

No matter how unwilling, they could only swallow this bitter pill.

Otherwise, what could they do?

They couldn't really fight Shen Xi, could they?

They also had to be able to win the fight!
