The Bet

"Aha!"

Accompanied by a clear shout, an equally swift strike hit the sandbag!

The sandbag, having been kicked angrily by three people in a row, swayed as if resigned to its fate.

Red numbers kept flashing.

The scene was silent.

Then, a burst of cheers erupted!

"Yeah! Good luck!" Jason showed a handsome smile.

The black man named Ku Cha nodded expressionlessly, but Ronan saw him subconsciously clench his fists.

On the counter, a dramatic number like 810 was clearly displayed.

It was just a little bit more than his.

In the eyes of others, it was indeed Jason's slightly better luck.

Only Ronan could see that this was not a matter of luck at all!

When Jason exerted his force, not only did he not use his full strength, but he also precisely controlled his power!

This man's ability to control strength is terrifying.

Ronan gently shook his head.

The crowd was amazed, and countless young girls screamed and cheered. Those who lost the bet shook their heads and sighed, but they didn't mind much; the winners were smug and began to boast about how good their judgment was.

However, from beginning to end, there was one person who had been staring at Ronan.

That was Su Jie.

The moment he saw Ronan shake his head, Su Jie immediately became angry:

"What do you mean by shaking your head?"

"Do you not acknowledge the strength of Brother Jason?"

In an instant, this qualified hatred aura emitter instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Su Xiao wished she could just drag this troublesome younger brother home! She even started to regret bringing this persistent guy to Wei Wei's party today!

Ronan just shook his head, and you can find fault with that? This guy has been brainwashed too much by Xiang Feihu, hasn't he?

"Enough! Stop making trouble! Su Jie!" Su Xiao's tone was filled with suppressed anger.

However, at this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Ronan, who had quietly arrived at some point.

Someone in the crowd even whispered: "Hehe, I wonder how much this Young Master Ronan's side kick is?"

"I wonder if it's 200?"

"Probably not, looking at his weak appearance, 99 is probably about right... Hahaha!"

Although these voices were not loud, they still accurately reached everyone's ears.

Wei Wei's face turned pale. The scene she was most worried about had finally happened.

She was only angry at Ronan's attitude, but she didn't want him to be humiliated in front of everyone.

So she took a few steps forward and said coldly, "If you few can still live your little lives safely after dealing with the B-level assassins of the Rose Blood Knights, I will also admire you very much."

As soon as these words came out, those few people immediately dared not speak again.

Everyone knew that these two from Yi Lin Manor had just suffered an assassination a few days ago. Wei Wei used this matter as an excuse to shut everyone up, and her choice was perfect, no one dared to disagree.

However, everyone thought that Wei Wei's words were praising Ronan, not knowing that what Wei Wei said was actually the truth.

Su Jie was indignant, but was pulled by Su Xiao and couldn't succeed.

Christine also smiled and smoothed things over: "Why don't we go and see the other new equipment? Wei Wei, I heard you've introduced a brand new Light Mech Virtual Combat Pod here, shall we go and take a look?"

Wei Wei was just about to agree, but who knew that at this moment, Ronan, who had been silent all along, suddenly said:

"Wait."

Everyone looked at him curiously, wondering what he was going to say.

Ronan stared at Su Jie expressionlessly and said lightly, "You're Su Jie, right?"

"Do you think your big brother is very powerful?"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Wei immediately felt something was wrong, and Su Xiao's face also stiffened.

The crowd burst into an uproar. What was this guy trying to do?

Su Jie's big brother was either Xiang Feihu or Li Nanbei, but no matter which one it was, it was impossible for Ronan to compare? Had this guy lost his mind because of Su Jie's provocation?

However, at this moment, no one could stop Ronan.

Su Jie even shouted, "What? You're still not convinced? Both of my big brothers are a hundred times better than you! No, never mind them, even I am stronger than you."

"A side kick of 500+, can you kick that out?"

"If you can't kick it out, don't be so arrogant, and stay away from my sister!"

Everyone was speechless.

How was Ronan arrogant? It was clearly this kid who had been arrogantly provoking hatred, alright!

However, there was some truth to his words.

In a Martial Hall, strength was everything. What did it matter how deep your background was? This was the rule of the Steel Empire's nobility! Even if this was Yi Lin Manor, Ronan's home ground, he could only speak with strength, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to convince the crowd.

A young man from a farm, at most, would have brute strength, but for a project that required specialized training, he definitely wouldn't be able to do it.

Su Jie was certain of this point. He hated it the most when others bothered his sister. A few days ago, he learned from Xiang Feihu that this kid had actually tricked Su Xiao's phone number out of her using various methods, so he vowed to teach Ronan a lesson.

Today's banquet was also something he had pestered Su Xiao to bring him to, otherwise, he wouldn't have been on Wei Wei's invitation list at all!

Taking advantage of such an opportunity, he naturally had to suppress Ronan properly and make him give up the idea of getting close to his sister.

Moreover, such an occasion was a rare opportunity for him to show off, so he naturally had to seize it properly.

"500+ is it?"

Ronan looked at Su Jie: "Little friend, you should be polite."

"You're jumping around in Yi Lin Manor. Miss Wei Wei is a lady, and she tolerates your behavior because you're young, but that doesn't mean what you're doing is right. In fact, I think even your sister would feel that your actions bring shame to the Su Family."

"I don't know what Xiang Feihu told you, and I don't care. But since you think your big brother is so amazing, why don't we make a bet?"

"Although I've been isolated from the world for a long time, I'm lucky and have practiced a little."

"This bet will be on my side kick data. You name a number, and if I exceed that number, you take back everything you said before, apologize to Miss Wei Wei, and then every time you see me in the future, you call me 'Big Brother' three times first."

"If I lose, I'll call you 'Big Brother' when we meet in the future."

As soon as the words fell, the entire place exploded!

Leaving aside how shocking it was that the usually taciturn Ronan suddenly spouted such a long speech, the content of the speech alone was enough to ignite the entire place!

This guy was really impulsive!

At the previous banquet, he directly clashed with Xiang Feihu; this time, he directly confronted Su Jie, without any intention of backing down!

Looking at his thin and weak physique, how good could his side kick data be?

Such doubts arose in everyone's hearts.

Most people had a look of watching a good show. A few people's eyes flickered, calmly observing Ronan's every word and action.

Although Ronan's background had been proven to be clear, many people were paying attention to this target that Yi Lin Manor had pushed out to attract firepower. God knows if the Earl was playing a game of feigned strength.

Regarding Ronan's background, many forces had actually wanted to figure it out, but they had never been able to.

Today, thanks to Su Jie, it seemed they could complete a part of their mission.

"No!" Su Xiao said decisively: "I apologize to Yi Lin Manor on his behalf."

"Don't force it! Ronan!" Wei Wei finally couldn't sit still either. She rushed over quickly: "You don't have to pay attention to him at all."

Su Jie, on the other hand, had a half-smile on his face.

Ronan gently shook his head, indicating that he had made a decision.

"Name a number," he said, looking at Su Jie.

The latter thought for a moment, his eyes rolling: "I'm two years younger than you and can still get 500+. If it's just 500, that's too easy, huh!"

"How about this, I won't make it difficult for you, 600! As long as you exceed this number, I'll consider myself having lost!"

He was quite shrewd in his heart!

The number 600 could basically separate most ordinary fitness enthusiasts from true martial arts masters.

No matter how hidden Ronan was, he couldn't be a martial arts master, could he?

Upon hearing this number, everyone was immediately a little disappointed.

With this number, Ronan probably wouldn't accept it, right? Then there wouldn't be a good show to watch.

However, reality once again slapped them in the face.

Because Ronan only said one word:

"Okay."

Hmm, during the new book period, everyone might find Coconut annoying, but there's nothing that can be done about it. It's for the rankings, so I'll shamelessly continue to ask for recommendations!
