Fifty Thousand Yuan

"You!"

Li Donghai's anger surged another notch. "Chen Mo, don't tell me you're scared?"

"Since you're scared, apologize to me right now! You don't want to be a turtle hiding in its shell, do you?"

"I don't want to be your kind," Chen Mo said, shaking his head. "And why should I get on the Arena with you? From beginning to end, you've been the one picking fights."

"You just want to use this chance to teach me a lesson! Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Damn! He saw through me. A flicker of panic flashed through Li Donghai's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

"If you don't dare, then you don't dare. Why are you making up so many excuses?"

"Tch!" Chen Mo scoffed. "It's not impossible for me to get on the Arena with you, as long as you agree to one condition."

"What condition?" Li Donghai was delighted. As long as Chen Mo agreed, agreeing to Chen Mo's condition wasn't impossible either.

"One hundred thousand yuan!"

Chen Mo said with a smile, "As long as you give me one hundred thousand yuan, I'll get on the Arena with you immediately!"

The onlookers were all stunned. Chen Mo was opening his mouth like a lion, asking for one hundred thousand yuan right off the bat!

They immediately began discussing it.

"One hundred thousand yuan! Hiss! This Chen Mo is really shameless, daring to open his mouth like a lion!"

"Yeah! One hundred thousand yuan could buy me three months' worth of cultivation resources! If someone gave me one hundred thousand yuan, getting beaten up on the Arena wouldn't be impossible."

"I'd be willing too, if it were me!"

"Who knows whether Li Donghai is willing to be this sucker?"

"Who knows?"

Everyone turned to look at Li Donghai.

Li Donghai was stunned as well. He hadn't expected Chen Mo to open his mouth like a lion and demand one hundred thousand yuan.

His monthly allowance was only ten thousand yuan. One hundred thousand yuan was ten months of allowance.

Besides, he didn't have that much money on him!

If his father found out that he had spent one hundred thousand yuan just to teach Chen Mo, his classmate, a lesson, he would definitely break his legs!

"One hundred thousand yuan! Chen Mo, why don't you just go rob someone?"

"Robbery is against the law. I don't want to go to prison! Aren't you rich? You can't even come up with this little bit of money?"

Chen Mo still wore a smile.

There was no helping it. Now that he had his cheat, all he lacked was money.

Without money, he couldn't buy cultivation resources.

Without cultivation resources, he couldn't grow stronger quickly.

If he didn't grow stronger, he could only let others carve him up like fish on a chopping block.

Zhang He and Yang Hu immediately began persuading Li Donghai. Zhang He said, "Brother Donghai, don't agree to him. One hundred thousand yuan would be enough for me to cultivate for half a year! He's obviously trying to fleece you!"

Yang Hu said, "Exactly! The Martial Examination is only three months away. He wants to use your money to raise his cultivation and get into a good university. You absolutely can't agree to this!"

Hearing his two lackeys' advice, Li Donghai's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected there to be another layer to this. Chen Mo's schemes were far too deep.

"Are you crazy from wanting money? Even if I had the money, I wouldn't give it to you. I'm not an idiot!"

He was furious beyond measure. If not for the laws, he would have gone straight at Chen Mo and killed him.

"Since you don't have money, stop yapping here!" Chen Mo's mood immediately soured. Li Donghai wasn't a brainless fool, so he couldn't swindle his money.

"Taozi, let's go!"

"Alright! Mozi, my stomach's about to flatten from hunger. Let's hurry up and eat."

The two turned and left!

"Stop!" Seeing them leave, Li Donghai called out to them instinctively.

"What is it, Li Donghai? Are you planning to pay up?"

Chen Mo turned around and looked at Li Donghai with a smile.

"One hundred thousand yuan is too much. Can't you lower it a little?" Li Donghai still couldn't swallow this insult. Even if he had to pay, he wanted to teach Chen Mo a lesson.

There's hope!

Chen Mo was delighted inside, but he still pretended to be troubled, stroking his chin without speaking.

Seeing Chen Mo hesitate, Li Donghai knew there was hope, so he continued persuading him.

"Chen Mo, if you can lower it a little, I'll transfer the money immediately."

"Brother Donghai, don't give him money! If you want to teach him a lesson, there'll be a chance during Monday's test! There's no need to waste money!" Zhang He stepped forward to persuade him.

Hearing this, Chen Mo's heart sank. Damn it, Zhang He, you brat, you're cutting off my source of wealth!

So Chen Mo immediately spoke up.

"For the sake of us being classmates, I'll cut it in half. Fifty thousand yuan, Li Donghai. That's cheap enough, isn't it?"

"If you don't agree, I'm leaving. My mom is still waiting for me to eat."

"Fifty thousand is still a lot! Brother Donghai, don't agree!" Zhang He wanted to keep persuading him, but Chen Mo immediately cut him off.

"Zhang He, I'm discussing this with Li Donghai, not you. Where do you get the right to speak?"

"I..."

"What do you mean, 'I'? Get lost!"

Chen Mo shouted, then looked at Li Donghai.

"Li Donghai, give me a straight answer. Do you agree or not? If not, I'm leaving!"

Pressed by Chen Mo like this, Li Donghai's head grew hot, and he could no longer care about anything else.

He was afraid Chen Mo would leave. Ignoring Zhang He and Yang Hu's advice, he agreed outright.

"Fine, fifty thousand yuan! I'll give it to you!"

Li Donghai hardened his heart. Later, he would definitely teach Chen Mo a vicious lesson and beat him severely enough to leave him seriously injured. Only then would he vent his anger.

As for the fifty thousand yuan, he would treat it as Chen Mo's medical expenses.

Besides, severe injuries would leave Chen Mo bedridden at home for half a month. All things considered, fifty thousand yuan wouldn't even cover his medical bills!

"Since that's the case, let's sign an agreement! Let me make this clear first: that fifty thousand yuan is the appearance fee for inviting me onto the Arena. No matter the outcome, afterward, you can't use any excuse to demand the fifty thousand yuan back."

"At the same time, you can't retaliate against my family. If my family is harmed, you'll bear primary responsibility!"

Chen Mo didn't want this matter to affect his family, so he had to make everything clear and put it all out in the open.

That way, even if Li Donghai wanted revenge, he would have some misgivings and wouldn't directly lay hands on Chen Mo's family.

"Fine! I agree! That's what I wanted to say too!"

Li Donghai believed he had victory in the bag, so he agreed to Chen Mo's demands without even thinking.

Thus, the group arrived at the martial arts hall's Arena. Both sides went before the staff to apply for an Arena match.

This Arena match naturally wasn't a fight to the death.

The two didn't have such a deep grudge that it needed to rise to a fight to the death. Chen Mo still couldn't bear the consequences.

He still had family.

Applying for an Arena match also required a one-thousand-yuan fee, which Li Donghai naturally paid.

After signing, Chen Mo brought out his payment code and had Li Donghai transfer the money.

With the referee as witness, the transfer was completed.

"Make your preparations. The Arena match will begin in ten minutes."

Quite a few people had already gathered beneath the Arena. Some who had arrived later didn't know what was going on, so they asked the people beside them.

They quickly understood, and most of them were astonished.

"What? Someone actually paid fifty thousand yuan to invite someone onto the Arena just to beat him up?"

Rich people really were oddballs. They actually had hobbies like this.

"If someone gave me fifty thousand yuan, I'd be willing too. Too bad I came late."

A tall, brawny man beat his chest and stamped his feet, feeling as though he had missed out on a hundred million.

He was extremely good at taking hits. Not only would he get money, he could also temper his body!
