Chapter 175 - Can you let me go now? (1)

Bei Nuan returned the gun to the table and walked to the door.

The burly man had already rushed over to open the door, and he looked even more excited than Bei Nuan.

"I thought you would miss for sure," the burly man said.

Bei Nuan thought; even if she missed, she would still live. She had nothing to be afraid of. She could take out a wall of odds and ends to keep the zombie from getting to her and fight it out with the zombie with the various strange things she had collected. It would be the most memorable cage fight in history.

The burly man's excitement wasn't for the same reason as the audience below.

He asked Bei Nuan, "Do you know how much money you won?"

The burly man quickly did a calculation on his notepad with his pink pen.

No one had expected that an F would win, and Bei Nuan had bet that she would kill the zombie with one shot. The odds of that were astonishingly high. She won over 7,800 dollars. In addition, she earned a 5,000 dollar bonus for winning the fight. In total, she gained over 12,800 dollars. With the average income and prices on this island, this was undoubtedly a huge sum.

Du Ruo didn't have to work hard to earn money anymore. This amount was enough for him to buy out the barbecued sparrows in Little Shao's stall every day.

The burly man had someone fetch a big bag of casino chips. Worried for her, he reminded her, "You can store the chips in the casino and take them out when you want to buy something. Don't keep it all on you. It'll make you a target for robbery."

The casino was strong enough to act as a bank too.

After the burly man finished counting Bei Nuan's casino chips, he yelled, "The other person who bet that she would win, number 0527, who is it?"

Bei Nuan was very curious. Who was so insightful to bet that an F would win?

A thin hand was raised in the dense crowd.

Bei Nuan got a clear look. It was Little Shao. She was just a kid, but she dared to sneak into the casino.

"Did she also bet that I would kill the zombie in one shot?"

"No," the burly man explained, "She bet 10 dollars on every possible way you could win."

Little Shao squeezed her way out of the crowd with difficulty and made her way to the front of the stage.

She adeptly instructed the burly man, "Convert the chips into money and deposit it to my account."

The burly man saw Little Shao's B tag and smiled. "Kid, you're pretty good at betting. You actually bet that an F would win."

Little Shao looked embarrassed and confessed, "I also bet that she would lose after firing two shots."

Bei Nuan: "..."

Little Shao was pretty good at diversifying risk.

Little Shao looked up and happily smiled at Bei Nuan. Her dark eyes sparkled.

"Big Sis, you're so amazing! How did you think of coming here to kill zombies? Are you in desperate need of money?"

Bei Nuan thought; she had to be crazy to want to come here to kill zombies. Other people willingly came here, but she was forced here.

"No, I was forced to…" Bei Nuan saw a man in a military uniform coming through the crowd and heading towards her. It was one of Qiu Zhengxun's guards. It definitely wasn't a good thing that Qiu Zhengxun had sent someone to fetch her.

Bei Nuan leaned down and quickly whispered to Little Shao, "Can you do me a favor? Do you remember the guys I was with that had A tags? They're transporting stones on the mountain. Go tell them I'm being kept here, and they'll reward you with lots of stuff."

The man in the uniform reached the stage, pointed at Bei Nuan, and then at a spot behind the crowd. "Master Qiu wants you to come over."

Bei Nuan looked for Little Shao and saw her disappearing into the crowd.

The zombie cage fights were over, and the crowd reluctantly left and flocked to other parts of the casino to continue gambling in a drunken stupor. The only people left were the staff that went into the metal cage to clean up the mess.

Bei Nuan followed the guard back to Qiu Zhengxun and Qiu Ji.

Qiu Zhengxun was sitting, but his back was ramrod straight like a soldier at attention. He looked indifferent and bored.

Qiu Ji was lazily reclining in the chair with his elbows resting on the armrests. His long eyes were raised, and he looked at Bei Nuan with a smile in his eyes.

Nothing good would come from Qiu Zhengxun speaking, so Bei Nuan rushed to say, "I killed the zombie and won the cage fight. Can you let me go now?"

Before Qiu Zhengxun could speak, Qiu Ji smiled and very smoothly answered, "We agreed that you're free to go if you can kill the zombie. Master Qiu never goes back on his word. You won, so of course you're free to go."

He said these words so that Qiu Zhengxun didn't have room to refuse.

However, this move didn't work on Qiu Zhengxun.
