Thank You, Young Master Galeo!

At that moment, Xiao Yan saw Xiao Yang speak up. He had just been about to stop him, but immediately paused.

Then, a flash of shock appeared in his eyes.

Xiao Yang looked at the confident Galeo and spoke directly.

"What stakes do you want? Say it."

He was extremely confident in this fight.

Because he had just focused his attention and seen Galeo's status panel.

[Galeo

Attribute: Wind

Cultivation: One-Star Fighter

Soul Power: Early Mortal Realm

Cultivation Art: High Yellow Tier *Clear Breeze Art*

Combat Skills: *Stone-Splitting Leg* (High Yellow Tier, Minor Mastery), *Stone-Shattering Palm* (Mid Yellow Tier, Minor Mastery)...]

Seeing that the other party's combat skills had only reached Minor Mastery, Xiao Yang knew he was guaranteed to win!

With a thought, he added nine experience points to Snow-Treading Without a Trace.

His proficiency in Snow-Treading Without a Trace immediately rose to Minor Mastery.

Now, relying on Snow-Treading Without a Trace alone, he could remain undefeated!

Xun'er did not yet know Xiao Yang's strength. She worriedly tugged at the corner of his clothes and whispered.

"Brother Xiao Yang, how about we forget it?"

Xiao Yang leaned close to Xun'er's ear and whispered.

"Don't worry. I'm confident."

Seeing Xiao Yang's confident expression, Xun'er hesitated for a moment before ultimately choosing to trust him.

However, she moved her lips toward her own shadow, though no one knew what she was saying.

Xiao Yang did not notice this. Instead, he looked directly at Galeo and said.

"Tell me, what stakes do you want?"

A flash of wild delight and cunning passed through Galeo's eyes.

"If I remember correctly, you're the person in charge of the Xiao Household's Tianyang Wine, aren't you?"

"If I win, the Xiao Household will have to allow the Jia Lie Clan to wholesale Tianyang Wine in large quantities."

"Not only that, from now on, whenever you see me, you'll have to take a detour!"

Tianyang Wine was considered the finest wine in Wu Tan City. Its annual production was limited, and it was basically only sold in the Xiao Household's restaurants.

Not only did it bring in enormous profits, it also attracted large numbers of mercenaries to the Xiao Household's restaurants and marketplace.

The Jia Lie Clan had long coveted it, but they had never been able to obtain the brewing method for Tianyang Wine.

After all, the people who brewed Tianyang Wine were all members of the Xiao Household.

Xiao Yang pretended to hesitate, and a trace of regret seemed to flash across his face.

However, he quickly forced himself to remain calm and said.

"Since you want Tianyang Wine, shouldn't you put up corresponding stakes as well?"

"I want the property deeds to your Jia Lie Clan's three restaurants on East Street in Wu Tan City!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yang's words, Galeo immediately hesitated.

After all, those three restaurants brought the Jia Lie Clan more than thirty thousand gold coins in profit every year!

The restaurants themselves were also extremely valuable. If he lost them, even as the clan leader's son, he would still be held accountable.

However, he had been watching Xiao Yang closely just now and had keenly caught the hesitation, regret, and forced calm on Xiao Yang's face.

Recalling Xiao Yang's expression from earlier, Galeo stopped hesitating and agreed at once.

"Fine!"

"Don't regret this!"

As he spoke, he immediately had someone bring over a contract. After signing his name, he handed it to Xiao Yang.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the contract, Xiao Yang signed his name as well.

The next moment, another quest appeared before him.

[Betting Battle: Galeo was jealous of your handsome looks and wanted the Xiao Household's Tianyang Wine, so he initiated a betting battle. You must defeat him!

Reward: Universal Experience +100, Shop Points +100,000.]

Perhaps because Galeo was only a minor antagonist in the original story, the rewards were not especially generous.

However, because this was a betting battle, the number of points was quite substantial.

Xiao Yang accepted it directly.

Seeing Xiao Yang sign the contract, Galeo put one copy away and said to the surrounding onlookers.

"Everyone, bear witness! The wager between Xiao Yang, Xiao Yan, and me has been made, and the contracts have been signed!"

"Everyone will witness this betting battle. From now on, if you want to drink Tianyang Wine, you can go directly to the Jia Lie Clan's restaurants!"

As soon as he said that, the surrounding mercenaries, eager for trouble, spoke up.

"Hahaha, good! We'll all bear witness to this betting battle!"

"Young Master Galeo, don't end up capsizing in a ditch later!"

Many people around them joined in the jeering, but very few believed Xiao Yang could win.

Even though Galeo had said he would stand still.

Galeo directly drew a circle around himself and said arrogantly to Xiao Yang.

"As long as you two make me leave the boundaries of this circle, you win."

"Come, entertain me to your heart's content!"

Hearing that, Xiao Yang almost blurted out, Do you want to dance too?

Xiao Yan walked to his side and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Yang, how do you think we should fight?"

There was none of the hesitation, regret, or forced calm Xiao Yang had shown earlier. His face held nothing but boundless confidence.

"Watch me."

The moment he finished speaking, he vanished from where he stood.

Quite a few people froze when they saw Xiao Yang suddenly disappear.

Before Galeo could react, he saw a figure flash past him.

The next moment, he felt an enormous force strike his back.

"Boom!"

A powerful force hit him in the back, causing him to stumble forward uncontrollably.

Galeo had never expected things to turn out this way, so he had not prepared himself at all.

This time, his face slammed directly into the ground, leaving him sprawled there in utter humiliation.

"Bang!"

Galeo's face smashed heavily against the ground.

The mercenaries, who had been making quite a racket moments ago, fell silent and stared at the young man standing in the arena with disbelief.

Galeo had not seen it, but they had.

Xiao Yang's figure had flashed, and he had instantly vanished from his original spot before appearing behind Galeo.

Not to mention Galeo—even they, the onlookers, had only been able to see an afterimage.

The next moment, Xiao Yang had thrown a punch at Galeo, leading to this outcome.

Many people looked at Galeo lying on the ground and could not help drawing in a sharp breath.

Just watching from the side made their own faces ache.

The Jia Lie Clan's guards finally came to their senses and hurried forward to help Galeo up.

Xiao Yang did not stop them. Excitement flashed through his eyes.

The rewards this time were truly generous!

"Congratulations, player, for defeating a One-Star Fighter. Reward: 200 Universal Experience and 1,000 Shop Points."

"Congratulations, player, for completing the quest—Betting Battle. Reward: Universal Experience +100, Shop Points +100,000."

After the Jia Lie Clan guards helped the bloodied Galeo to his feet, Xiao Yan walked over with a mocking expression and said.

"Thank you, Young Master Galeo, for the three restaurants. I'll thank you on Brother Yang's behalf!"

"As expected of the Jia Lie Clan leader's son! Seeing that Brother Yang's coming-of-age ceremony is approaching, you directly sent over three restaurants as his coming-of-age gift!"

As soon as he said that, Galeo, who was already furious, became even more enraged.
