Chapter 331:
"Wow!! It's too strong, Phoenix!"
"I have to maintain this momentum tomorrow, and I'll bet you all in the future!"
After a duel overnight, the Phoenix family, which fully proved its strength, also showed explosive growth in popularity throughout the venue.
But the most exciting thing is, of course, Phoenix himself, Miss Clara. Clara now felt like she was dreaming.
Akash, who exchanged glances with Hoshino, looked up at Clara with a bright smile.
"It's great, sister Clara! The four-game winning streak actually has 10 points. If you redeem it all, it will be as much as 1 million U.S. dollars!"
"That's right, I didn't expect underground duels to make money like this."
Hoshino casually added: "But the money earned by points doesn't seem to be as much as Clara's bet on tonight"
"Yes, after all, with such high odds, of course you will make even more..."
Clara realized that something was wrong until halfway through the conversation, and hurriedly covered her mouth.
"You have been exposed, some natural ladies"
The perfectly matched Hoshino and Akash smirked tacitly.
Chapter 24: This is my battle
"Hey...what did I just say?" Clara looked at Keith with an innocent look, trying to pass the level.
Keith grinned and said: "You just said that you made a fortune by betting tonight, my old lady is really crazy!"
"I didn't use such a violent and dirty tone, really, Howard!"
"Don't deliberately hide it from us, we don't mean to blame you, after all, it's your own money." Hoshino continued curiously and asked: "So Clara, how much money did you win?"
Clara, who wanted to say nothing, lowered her head and broke her fingers: "Uh, Xiaowei's first game I bet all my pocket money, and then Howard's second game I put all the money I won, and then ..."
9527, who was watching quietly, suddenly replied, accurately reporting the results of tonight.
"The Phoenix family, bet 80,000 dollars in the first game, and win a total of 992,000. In the second game, bet 1 million and win 1.3 million. In the third game, they bet 1.3 million and win 4.03 million. In the fourth game, they bet 4 million and win 4.8 million. Add in the 10 points earned today, excluding your 80,000 principal, Miss Clara, and net profit of 5.75 million."
"Hiss——!" Although he was mentally prepared, Hoshino couldn't hold back a deep breath after hearing the real result.
The question that Hoshino was more worried about before was that since Clara had concealed the fact of the bet, would she not believe herself and secretly bet the money to the opposite side, which eventually caused the situation in vain.
It seems that Hoshino’s worries are completely unnecessary. This eldest lady not only trusts herself and Keith superbly, but she allin almost all her money in every game. In a sense, she can be called a natural gambler with a precise sense of smell.
"Klara, you really are, you don't leave any way for yourself. Moreover, you have 80,000 pocket money. Sure enough, this is the real super lady."
"After all, Howard said, Xiaowei, your duel strength can match him. Since he said that, then Xiaowei, you must be much better than Howard!"
Keith's expression stiffened, his eyes hidden behind the sunglasses were extremely embarrassing.
Clara clenched Xiaofen's fist, her eyes firmly added: "And Xiaowei and Keith, you both have gambled your lives to fight, how can I just consider my own retreat. Although it is very much compared to you It's trivial, but this is my way of fighting, so the money I won tonight, everyone will be evenly divided!"
shine! From behind Clara, Hoshino seemed to see the dazzling light again. And this time, probably because of the brilliance of money mixed in, the brightness has been improved several times compared with last time.
"Sister Clara, you are too generous, wait for me to calculate!" Excited Akash also started to lift his fingers like Clara.
"5.75 million, Miss Wei, Sister Clara, Uncle Keith, and me. There are four people in total. If they are evenly divided, everyone can get at least 1.43 million. This is a fortune."
Pressed back one of the four fingers that Akash had extended without authorization, and Hoshino said: "It has nothing to do with you, Akash, don't think that you can count yourself in without authorization and you will be able to just this wave of bad money."
Akashia smashed her mouth unhappily: "Hey, it's exposed, it's really stingy, Sister Xiaowei."
"If the three people split evenly, one person can get close to two million." Keith said in a strong tone: "Although the uncle I am too strong, the odds are not as high as the unknown rookie over there, but I am the money. I won’t take one less."
Bounty hunter Keith Howard, he will never give in to his obsession with money.
"I actually have no objection, after all, Keith, you also gambled your life to a duel." Hoshino shrugged.
He used cheating to destroy the electric device. If you really want to talk about the level of enlightenment, Keith, who is really gambled to fight for life, is higher.
"And Clara, I don’t need my two million. But in exchange, I hope you can promise me what I proposed at the beginning of tonight."
Clara's expression became more complicated: "Xiao Wei, you are upgrading to a high-level duel."
Now I have accumulated 10 points. As long as I win two more games in a row, I will be able to collect the 20 points needed for advancement tomorrow. And if all 20 points are converted into money, it would be exactly two million.
Akashya couldn't believe her ears, hugged Hoshino's waistline, and shook her whole body forcefully.
"Sister Xiaowei, you're crazy, that's 2 million, you can eat fried chicken to support you, don't you can give it to me!"
Sorry Akash, I have eaten it enough, if you shake it so hard, I might vomit.
Clara still couldn't understand, and asked: "Why are you so obsessed with Xiaowei? If you just want to make money, this situation is completely enough now."
Hoshino replied solemnly: "This is my battle, just like Clara you just said. If reviving the Phoenix family is your battle, protecting Clara's safety is Keith's battle. Then stand in this place. The apex of the underground duel is my battle!"
Keith immediately retorted: "My uncle's battle is to make money, and it has nothing to do with protecting this innocent eldest lady."
As a staff member, 9527 was still standing by. In order to guard against the eyeliner in the duel, Hoshino naturally couldn't tell his true mission. And even if 9527 is not there, Hoshino does not intend to let Keith and Clara know about this.
"Miss Clara, I also think that Miss Vivienne's proposal is very reasonable." Unexpectedly, Hoshino's 9527, which he was guarding against, actually spoke for himself at this time.
Clara, who was still hesitating, looked at 9527 with some doubts.
"Although I made a lot of bets tonight, as far as I know, it is not enough to fill the broken capital chain of the Phoenix family. However, there will never be such an exaggerated odds like tonight. "
After all, through tonight's four-game winning streak, Phoenix has also fully proved his terrifying combat effectiveness. Like Hoshino at the beginning, the odds of 1:10, and even the following odds of 1:3, there is no possibility of reappearance.
"So it is better to give up the low-odds battle and move to the high-end duel. The high-level first battle odds will definitely be very scary, and the most important thing is that 1 point of the high-level points can be exchanged for 1 million US dollars."
Clara still has some resistance: "But, isn't the high-level duel field very dangerous? The duels inside are very strong, right?"
9527 continued to add: "No, in my experience, Miss Vivienne and Mr. Keith's strengths are difficult to meet even in high-end duels."
The current 9527, after seeing the strength of Hoshino and Keith, no longer speaks the slightly cold disdainful words that were at the beginning. At least she, who has witnessed countless duels in the underground duel arena, dare to be sure that even if Hoshino and Keith enter the high-level duel arena, they will still be confused.
At that time, his position in the duel field will be upgraded from a manager of an ordinary family to a manager of a high-level family. Such a win-win situation, 9527 is naturally unwilling to let go.
"Let me think about it again..." Under 9527's persuasive persuasion, Clara finally had a tendency to compromise.
With slender fingers pressed on his chest, 9527 performed a deacon’s etiquette: “No problem, Miss Clara, it’s not too late to wait until the Phoenix family wins two more games tomorrow and reach 20 points before making a decision. So now I’ll add the points. Keep it and put all the money won by the bet into your account."
"Hmm. Then I will trouble you, Miss 9527."
......
The battle in the underground duel usually lasts until 6 o'clock in the morning, but the Phoenix family and others who have ended all four battles have reached an agreement and left the noisy place early.
"Is this San Francisco at four o'clock in the morning? It's really quiet"
Hoshino breathed a sigh of relief, and was suppressed by the messy and noisy underground duel all night. The tranquility of this moment seemed to be the second enjoyment besides the buffet food tonight.
From the moment she left the duel, Clara was in a thoughtful state, pulling Hoshino's sleeves.
"That, Xiaowei...no, Miss Hoshino, I have something to talk to you alone, okay?"
Hoshino couldn't help but wonder. What's wrong with me today, I want to chat with me alone, first it was Maidao, and now Clara. Is it because my outfit is so handsome that I unconsciously become popular?
"Can you talk alone, okay"
Akashia had an expression of eating shit: "You talk alone, don't you let a cute little girl like me stay alone with this terrifying-looking uncle in the middle of the night...Ah Kasha feels a big crisis."
"Excuse me, it will take at least 10 years for a kid like you to interest my uncle Keith."
Very acquainted Keith, with his pants in his pockets, left straight, and walked to the late-night restaurant that was still open next to him, creating an environment for Hoshino and Clara to speak alone.
"Go kid, I'll take you to Wafflehouse (a late night 24/7 restaurant in the US chain) for French fries."
"Well, look at the face of the fries..."
Glancing at the two people who are going away, Hoshino asked Clara, "Okay, I came to see my confidant big sister, is there anything I need to discuss? Don't worry, just ask"
"Miss Hoshino, in fact, I have been hiding something from you and Howard."
Clara, who looks a bit twitchy, can observe the faint blush on her delicate cheeks even in this dark and dim environment.
......
"Huh? Was forced to marry by the Lloyd family!? Because you did not agree, the Lloyd family began to secretly target Phoenix?"
Before, Clara only explained to everyone that the Phoenix family suffered from the commercial suppression of the Lloyd family and was forced to participate in an underground duel. Hoshino's original guess was that the Lloyd family used this method to force unrelated families to participate in order to expand the power of the underground duel.
But I did not expect such a complicated relationship in the middle of this incident.
"Zieger Lloyd is a famous playboy, and my father doesn't want me to marry that kind of person. But the power of the Lloyd family is too large, and it's not something people like us can resist."
Hoshino admired: "But you still choose to resist. Such courageous behavior is really impressive for you, Miss."
Clara shook her head aggrievedly: "No, it was Zieg Lloyd who said that he gave me a chance. As long as I can win the duel underground, I won't force me to marry her."
"It turned out to be like this..." Hoshino understands why Clara is so reluctant to upgrade to high-level duels. It is also a condition of'always win'. The difficulty coefficient of ordinary duels is obviously much smaller than that of high-level duels. .
"So, the matter of being promoted to a high-level duel..."
"It's so naive, my eldest lady. You were obviously deceived by the guy Zieg Lloyd. You think that using family means to carry out commercial attacks and forcing girls to marry his playboys will have credibility. Speak?"
Hoshino sighed slightly, for the eldest lady who knew nothing about the world, he still wanted to reach out and help her.
"Besides, what kind of **** is to keep winning? How many games and how long do you have to win, if you win for 10 years, can you stick to it?"
This Zieg Lloyd never planned to let Clara go from the beginning, forcing her to participate in an underground death duel, most likely just out of interest, wanting to see the desperate expression of this young lady.
There was a hint of crying in Clara's voice: "What should I do, Miss Hoshino. I don't want to marry that kind of person."
"Of course to defeat Zieg Lloyd, and drag that scum dude from the top!"
======
Shimao: "The user of the Goddess of War deck-Zieg Lloyd. According to my previous investigation, there is a potential rule in the high-level duel. Defeating his family can replace the Lloyd family in the duel. This is also the reason why so many families are eager to hire a duelist at all costs. However, no duel has been able to defeat him so far."
======
"In other words, if you defeat Zieg Lloyd in a high-level duel, Phoenix won't have to fear the Lloyd family anymore!" Seeing hope, Clara's expression gradually changed from low to excitement.
"So leave the battle to me and Keith, I believe Keith will agree to it... Wait, why do you have to tell me this kind of thing alone and avoid Keith?"
Hoshino, who realized that something was wrong in an instant, suddenly had a fearful vision in his heart.
"The matter of being forced to marry by the Lloyd family, you have to hide it from Keith, Clara, you will not be like an uncle like Keith...Impossible, it is too ruinous, Clara You must recognize reality!"
Hoshino holding his forehead, desperately denying it.
"I don't understand either, I just don't want Howard to know about it."
A layer of pink Clara floated on her cheeks, and she shook her head: "And Ms. Hoshino, Howard only looks more mature, but is actually only in her twenties (the official setting is 26), not yet the age of an uncle. "
is only in his twenties? Keith is eating fertilizer, he looks so anxious...

Chapter 25: Acacia VS Ten Generations, you won’t have friends if you play like this
Back to the hotel's Hoshino, the whole person collapsed on the soft big bed like cotton, unable to get up again.
holding the large French fries that Keith bought for him, Akasia didn't have the tired look of Hoshino at all.
"Sister Hoshino, Sister Hoshino, you probably won't survive three episodes in the Legion of Gurus with your physical strength."
'S face was completely buried in the pillow, and Hoshino said weakly, "Why do I have to live so many episodes in the army of Gurus? I just need to let the army of Gurus live in front of me for less than three episodes."
Akashia smiled idiotically: "So I like a domineering woman like you"
