In front of the counter at the Golden Yuan Gambling Den, Big Ears Nie Ting grandly waved out the betting ticket he had just placed. The bet, worth as much as 2.3 million High Grade Spiritual Stones, made the shopkeeper, whose heart was bleeding from the loss, grit his teeth in hatred!
He was a confidant of Lord Jie, privy to the inside story of the matter, and aware that Nie Ting was a follower of Di Kuohai, which made him particularly grind his teeth in anger.
The reason was simple. The plan that Lord Jie had orchestrated had gone awry, and it wasn't just about compensation. If things went wrong, they could all get implicated.
Big Ears had bought odds as high as 25%, and although Ye Zhen's odds were low, the volume of bets on him was high, resulting in a win of 575,000 High Grade Spiritual Stones.
When the shopkeeper at the Golden Yuan Gambling Den handed over the storage ring to Big Ears Nie Ting, his teeth were grinding audibly.
