Chapter 157: Gambling a Large Sum of Money (1/2)

“As a person, it’s better to stay low-key to live longer,” Cheng Yu said nonchalantly.

“Haha! Young Master Cheng is really wise. Is Young Master Cheng interested in playing a round?” Peng Fei smiled and asked.

“Today, I am only accompanying them. You guys go ahead.”

“Young Miss Cheng and Second Young Miss, do you want to race?” When Peng Fei saw Cheng Yu was not interested in gambling, he asked the Cheng Family sisters.

“We will take a look first. You can go ahead without us,” Even though Cheng Qing was obviously very excitedly, she still did not agree immediately.

“Two pretty ladies, are you interested in accompanying me for a race?” At this moment, a few more young men walked over. The person leading had dyed red hair.

“Who are you? For what reason should we accompany you?” Cheng Qing glimpsed at the man and asked disdainfully. She hated guys who looked overly eye catching.

“Pretty ladies, our boss is the famous racer king in this Dragon Tiger Mountain, Tian Sheng. For our boss to invite you is an honor!” One of the men behind the red hair guy said arrogantly.

“Hmph! Just this small little mountain and he dares to call himself the racer king? Isn’t he afraid that he would become a laughingstock?” Cheng Xuan, who was beside Cheng Qing, mocked.

“Second Young Miss, this guy, Tian Sheng, is very influential in this Dragon Tiger Mountain. You ladies better be careful. Otherwise, there will be a lot of trouble,” Peng Fei spoke slowly to the Cheng Family sisters. Peng Fei was attending the same school as the Cheng Family sisters. He had long been interested in Cheng Xuan. Naturally, he did not wish for anything bad to happen to her.

“Haha! This pretty lady has such a strong personality. I like it. How about we have a race then?” Tian Sheng did not get angry, but instead he laughed at Cheng Xuan.

“Hmph! I am not going to compete with you. You are so familiar with the route. Do you take us as idiots?” Cheng Xuan was not someone who would be easily taken advantage of. She would never agree to something that she was not confident about.

“Since it’s like that, I can let you get a headstart for three minutes. This should be fair, right? Three minutes is not short at all,” Tian Sheng was very confident.

“Uh…” Cheng Xuan saw that Tian Sheng was so confident, so she wished to be able to shatter his confidence. Cheng Xuan turned to look at her sister. ”Sis, should we compete with him?”

“Three minutes of grace time is quite long and I can tell that this route is not that hard to race. Let’s have a race with him. I have long been unhappy about how cocky he is acting in front of us,” Cheng Qing looked at the route while replying.

“Alright. We agree with you. Let’s compete then,” After getting her sister’s opinion, Cheng Xuan accepted Tian Sheng’s challenge loudly.

“Haha! Straightforward! Let’s go and register then,” Tian Sheng saw that the sisters had agreed to his challenge, so he was extremely happy. It was as if he had already seen himself winning the race. Very quickly, he brought everyone to the registration counter.

“According to the Dragon Tiger Mountain competition rules, every participant will have to hand in a deposit of $50,000 that will also act as the bet. After winning the competition, not only can the winner take away the grand prize of $200,000, the winner will also get back their deposit,” When the registration lady saw the two of them had registered, she smiled while explaining.

“$50,000? We don’t have that much money,” When the sisters heard that they had to pay a deposit of $50,000, they were startled. Even though the Cheng Family was rich, they were very strict with the allowance given to their younger generation. Previously, Cheng Yu was able to spend the money he wished because he had a rich mother.

“No money? It’s fine. We can lend it to you. However, I must state this beforehand. What we lend, you must return to us 150% of the principal. After today, the interest would be the previous day’s principal and interest added together plus 20%,” When Tian Sheng heard the other party did not have any money, not only was he not disappointed, he was very happy instead.

Of course, with this kind of high earning loan opportunity, who wouldn’t be happy? Just by relying on this competition, Tian Sheng have would be able to earn money just by collecting interest.

After lending $50,000, the principal would become $75,000 in the same day. The next day, just the 20% interest would already be $15,000. Adding in the principal, it would become $90,000. This was simply robbery.

“The interest rate is so high! You might as well rob! We are not competing anymore,” When Cheng Xuan heard the interest rate was so high, she immediately became unwilling.

“Pretty ladies, it doesn’t work this way. These are the rules of the Dragon Tiger Mountain. After you have registered for the competition, you cannot withdraw,” Tian Sheng smiled. He felt that this matter was going according to his plans.

“What are you trying to say?! If we are not going to compete, are you going to force us to?!” When Cheng Qing heard that they were unable to cancel the competition, she grew anxious.

“Two misses, it was all written clearly in the registration booklet. If you cancel the competition, we will take it by default that you lost and you will have to fork out the $50,000 deposit,” Tian Sheng swayed the registration in front of them and said.

“Hmph! Sis, let’s ignore him. Let’s go,” Cheng Xuan could only pull her sister back with her.

“Wish to leave? Without handing out the $50,000, no one is allowed to leave,” Tian Sheng raised his hand and his subordinates immediately trapped Cheng Yu and his cousins.

“What are you trying to do?!” The Cheng sisters could no longer remain calm as they yelled anxiously.

“What am I trying to do? I have said that if you don’t hand over the $50,000, don’t even think about leaving here. However, since you sisters are so pretty, as long as both of you accompany me for a night, I can write off the debt. How about it?” Tian Sheng finally said his main objective for pestering the two sisters. He was feeling complacent in his heart.

“Brother Sheng, how about letting them off? We will definitely bring the money over tomorrow,” When Peng Fei heard that Tian Sheng wanted the two sisters to stay behind, he had also gotten anxious. He had been interested in Cheng Xuan for very long. He was not willing to allow someone else to take her away.

“SLAP!” Tian Sheng slapped Peng Fei’s face and said very fiercely, ”Who do you think you are? You actually dare to negotiate with me. If they are unable to hand out the $50,000, they can only hope to leave here.”

After Peng Fei was slapped, he collapsed to the ground. His whole mouth was covered in blood and he no longer dared to speak.
