Volume 1 Clone Army Chapter 69 Bet
"Well, there is no problem with the way of gambling for the time being. Now tell me what you want to bet on." Li Jiu said with a smile. If there are only five people, even if Locke and Lei Zi cannot participate in the battle, he is confident that he can gather the number of people...
"I want to bet my life with you!"
Captain William said without hesitation, a ferocious look flashing in his eyes.
"Gamble with your life?" Li Jiu pondered for a moment, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
He was not surprised by this answer, because not to mention that Kaqi had already reminded him, even if Kaqi didn't tell him, he was not stupid and could have guessed it naturally.
only……
You want to gamble your life with me... are you worthy enough ?!
You know, Li Jiu is an ambitious man who is ready to stand at the top of the world... Li Jiu cherishes his life very much, how could he take it out as a bet casually?
Besides, if they really wanted to risk their lives, Li Jiu didn't mind a real fight between the two of them, but he would never gamble with his own life!
Because, no matter what, a gambling war is ultimately a form of gambling, and as long as it is gambling, there will be unpredictable risks. If there is no sufficient necessity, Li Jiu will never risk his life!
More importantly, the reason why Li Jiu considered gambling with William was not to take the other party's life. After all, in Li Jiu's eyes, Captain William's life was worthless!
Li Jiu would not be interested in things that have no value to him. What he wants is to gain tangible benefits for himself and his brothers through gambling!
…
"Sorry, I'm not interested in this bet." Li Jiu smiled coldly and said indifferently.
Captain William was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Jiu could refuse so straightforwardly!
Because, in his opinion, there was a large group of mercenaries watching the scene. If Li Jiu refused the bet he proposed, it would undoubtedly be a sign of weakness. In this way, Li Jiu would have lost half of his money before the bet even started!
After all, the ultimate goal of the gambling war, to put it in a high-level way, is for the glory of the mercenaries, but to put it in a practical way, it is for each other's face and to prove themselves!
Captain William frowned and stared at the smiling Li Jiu, trying to figure out what the private was up to from Li Jiu's expression... But unfortunately, Li Jiu's calm expression made him realize that his efforts were in vain...
Therefore, Captain William was a little depressed at this time. Doesn't this damn guy care what the mercenaries around him think? You refused so straightforwardly, are n't you afraid that others will think you are timid? Don't you care about the dignity of being a mercenary at all?
Do you still have any shame...
However, after thinking for a moment, Captain William's depression was swept away. Because he thought Li Jiu was afraid, and he thought that everyone at the scene should think so too...
At the same time, the mercenaries watching from all sides were indeed thinking the same thing as Captain William...
"Tsk! What do you mean by not interested? If you are timid and don't dare to fight , just say it directly. Why are you looking for excuses?..."
"Haha, I think so too. Although this private is very skilled, he is only a private after all. How dare he gamble his life with a captain?"
"Humph! What do you know? You should know that Captain William is not an ordinary mercenary, but the young leader of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group! With his identity and background, I'm afraid that no mercenary in the entire Fifth District would dare to easily agree to gamble his life with him! I think it was a wise move for this young man not to agree to gamble his life with him. At least it shows that he is not a hot-headed fool. Although he lost some face, at least he saved his life, which is the most important thing!"
…
The mercenaries who were watching from all sides were watching the excitement with great interest and whispering. Some of them looked at Li Jiu with sneers, while others gave him admiring glances, thinking that Li Jiu was doing this to protect himself.
However, after seeing Li Jiu refuse to gamble his life with William, almost everyone agreed that Li Jiu had undoubtedly lost face ...
Even Kaqi and Bella behind Li Jiu frowned, with a slightly flushed look on their faces. They were worried about Li Jiu, worried that he would lose face...
After all, although Li Jiu is a new recruit, he is also a man!
So in the eyes of Kaqi and the others, since you are a grown man and you don't dare to bet your life with the other party, why do you insist on agreeing to fight with him? Isn't this just slapping yourself in the face...
At the same time, Mimi and the four strong men in black she brought with her also watched the development of the situation with great interest, but did not intervene.
Because their mission was only to prevent anyone from being killed in the bar, and now that Li Jiu and William were already discussing a gambling war, it was obvious that they didn't need to take any more action.
When Mimi saw that Li Jiu refused to gamble his life with William, she was also surprised. She didn't expect that this arrogant boy would be willing to lose face in front of so many people...
However, Li Jiu ignored everyone's reactions, and still had that confident smile on his face, remaining calm...
Because, in Li Jiu's opinion, face? What is that? Can it be eaten as food?!
Li Jiu never cared about those false reputations that were like floating clouds. All he wanted was real benefits!
Li Jiu vaguely remembered that he had heard of it somewhere in the virtual world. If a person wants to make money and become stronger, the first thing to do is to put down the worthless face and the meaningless dignity!
One day, when you become truly strong, even if you don’t want these things, others will pick them up and return them to you!
Of course, the original words were not like this, but the general meaning was similar, and Li Jiushen agreed with it...
"Hmph! Boy, but I want to bet my life with you! If you don't dare to accept the challenge, then I don't think there is any need to continue this bet." Captain William snorted coldly with an angry expression, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Captain William's purpose in proposing the bet was to humiliate Li Jiu and take the opportunity to kill him. However, Li Jiu did not fall for it, which made him very angry.
However, at the same time as he was angry, he actually felt a little proud in his heart... That was because Li Jiu's decision not to fight back had allowed him to regain some face in front of everyone, and his goal had actually been half achieved!
Therefore, if Li Jiu didn't dare to accept the challenge today, he wouldn't mind attacking from behind and killing Li Jiu...
Although the effect was not as good as he had originally expected, it was almost revenge for the humiliation.
"I'm not interested in betting on my life, but if you dare to bet on something else, I don't mind." At this moment, Li Jiu suddenly said with a faint smile.
"Hmm? Bet on something else?" Captain William was stunned for a moment, a little surprised. He didn't expect Li Jiu to dare to bet with him... But then, a smug smile appeared on his face again. Since this kid took the initiative to deliver himself to his door...
That's fine!
Even if I can't take this kid's life directly through the gambling battle, I must use the opportunity of the gambling battle to make him lose miserably!
In this way, he, Captain William, can save more face!
"Boy, just tell me what you want to bet on! No matter what you want to bet on, I will accompany you to the end today!" Captain William said with a disdainful smile on his face and full of momentum.
He wanted to let everyone know that he, William, was not a timid boy. As long as this private dared to bring it up, he would dare to bet!
"Haha, since you are so generous, I won't be polite." Li Jiu smiled slightly, with a gleam of light in his eyes. "If you have no objection, let's bet some battle merit points and take some alliance coins..."
