" Candace, if you want to play games, I'll play along, but don't even think about bullying Junbao." Shi Jiang stepped forward again, blocking Zhang Junbao's path.
" Shi Jiang, if you're so capable, go find Renatus. What I want to bet on is the sword in Zhang Junbao's hand. What are you yelling about?" Candace completely ignored Shi Jiang, only wanting to wager on Zhang Junbao.
"I've always wanted to see what these so-called ' Elite Training Camp geniuses' are really like, and today William has shown me. Is this what your European Union calls 'geniuses'?"
"Forcibly improving strength with external aids? He doesn't even have the courage to face an opponent head-on. He has lost the heart of a strong person. I wonder how you are, Candace?" Zhang Junbao stepped forward and faced Candace directly. He also wanted to test what the true level of Training Camp genius was.
William was ranked low, practically at the bottom of the Training Camp. Candace, despite his arrogance, was actually ranked in the forties.
Don't underestimate this ranking. This is a gathering place for geniuses from all over the world. To achieve this ranking in the third year of the Training Camp, Candace has already surpassed many veterans who have been there for four or five years.
Candace is indeed the first heir of the Polenas Family, and this ranking is something he earned through his own strength. The Training Camp rankings don't consider the trainees' backgrounds; only true ability is the sole factor influencing the rankings.
"External things? I don't know what you're talking about."
Candace shook her head, indicating that she knew nothing about drugs and that it had nothing to do with her.
"So you agree, huh?" Candace grinned, revealing a sinister smile.
At this point, it was already remarkable that he was able to suppress his urge to attack Zhang Junbao. Now that he saw Zhang Junbao was willing to gamble with him, the restlessness in his heart was becoming uncontrollable.
"You arrogant newcomer from Huaxia, I'll show you just how big the gap really is between a newcomer and a true Training Camp genius!"
Candace was internally screaming, but then he saw Zhang Junbao looking at him with an expression of pity for the mentally challenged, a look that made him extremely uncomfortable.
"You don't know the rules of the duel, do you? If you want to bet on the sword in my hand, you have to at least offer something of equal value to it!"
"Are you trying to get something for nothing? Is the heir of the Polenas Family so ignorant of the rules?"
Zhang Junbao asked jokingly.
Candace was so taken aback by Zhang Junbao's easy acceptance of his challenge that he almost forgot about the wager.
However, his heir, Baojian, had previously been mortgaged for 30 billion Huaxia Currency, so it wouldn't be so easy for him to come up with another 30 billion yuan in cash.
Candace is now starting to doubt whether he or Zhang Junbao is truly the first heir to the large conglomerate. Previously, he had always used money to bribe the other students, leaving them speechless. He never imagined that one day the first heir of the Polenas Family would be struggling financially.
However, Candace's eyes darted around, and seeing William still slumped over, she made a plan.
Although he is the first in line to the Polenas Family, this is merely a title, not actual power, and it would be virtually impossible for him to mobilize such a large amount of funds.
Moreover, if the other heirs knew that his heir's sword was missing, they would definitely try to sabotage him, making it not so easy for him to get the money from the family.
Just because he can't come up with the money doesn't mean William's family can't. If you squeeze William's family and force them to sell some fixed assets, it's still possible to come up with 30 billion. However, if you do that, William's family will likely face a huge crisis.
However, these were not things that Candace needed to worry about.
Whether they face Candace's retaliation and suppression, leading to the complete destruction of their family, or offer 30 billion Huaxia Currency, Candace believes William's family will make the right choice.
"My sword was previously pledged as collateral for 30 billion Huaxia Currency, so I'll bet 30 billion Huaxia Currency with you now!"
Candace said.
"Tsk tsk, such a fine sword, I'm a little reluctant to part with it. You know I come from a poor family and have never seen such a fine sword before. To be honest, I really don't want to use this sword as a gamble."
Keeping it for myself seems like a good idea.
Zhang Junbao shook his head and did not agree.
Although the sword's market value is 30 billion, now that it's in Zhang Junbao's hands, its value to Candace is much more than 30 billion.
Having finally caught a fat sheep, and one who was destined to be an enemy, Zhang Junbao naturally wouldn't be polite to Candace; he wouldn't be done until he had shaved him bald.
"So what do you want?"
Candace suppressed his anger and asked through gritted teeth. Although he knew it was very unpleasant to be played like this by Zhang Junbao, he had no choice; it was the only way to get back his heir's sword.
Candace had considered taking action while Zhang Junbao was out hunting monsters, but now everyone knew that he had a conflict with Zhang Junbao. If Zhang Junbao got into trouble in the wild, everyone else would definitely guess that it was him.
The Training Camp does not prohibit students from fighting in the Challenge Space, but if someone secretly kills another student, they will definitely face the wrath of the Training Camp and even the entire Limits Dojo. It is possible that even the world's number one fighter, 'Hong', will take action because of this.
The trainees in the Elite Training Camp are all the hope for the future of humanity, and Hong absolutely cannot allow them to engage in unnecessary internal strife.
At this time on Earth, no one could withstand Hong's wrath.
Moreover, in the Wilderness Zone, although Candace was quite strong, Zhang Junbao was Spirit Reader. Although Candace was confident that he was not afraid of a Advanced General-Level -Spirit Reader, he had no way to stop Zhang Junbao if he wanted to escape.
Only by defeating Zhang Junbao in the Challenge Room can one truly reclaim the heir's sword that belongs to him.
"Sigh, young people have no self-control at all. How can they become strong with such a poor mindset?" Zhang Junbao looked like he had no intention of gambling at all.
Candace's face turned a deep purplish-red, but she couldn't bring herself to lash out at Zhang Junbao. Zhao Ruo kept covering her mouth, afraid she might burst out laughing at his frustrated expression.
Zhao Ruo really didn't expect that this newcomer, Zhang Junbao, could actually subdue Candace, the bully of the Training Camp, so completely.
Everyone in the Training Camp, whether new or veteran, actually disapproved of Candace and his gang's actions. However, no one was willing to openly oppose them for the sake of unfamiliar newcomers. This allowed Candace and William's group to continue bullying the newcomers.
The real powerhouses in the Training Camp simply couldn't be bothered with such trivial matters.
But today, when he met Zhang Junbao, he didn't tolerate William and his gang's bad habits at all. Not only did he defeat William, but he also left Candace completely speechless.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want in order to gamble with me, Zhang Junbao!"
Unlike Zhang Junbao's nonchalant attitude, Candace practically roared these words. He was barely able to contain his anger, his clenched fists drawing blood from his hands.
"Forget it, I'm afraid you'll get really angry if I say anything more. Let's talk about it in a few days when you've calmed down."
After saying that, Zhang Junbao, looking completely nonchalant, prepared to turn and leave.
"You..."
Candace didn't want to wait a few days to discuss this matter. If he couldn't resolve it quickly, he wasn't sure if Zhang Junbao would simply sell the sword to someone else, like a certain Wargod.
By then, it would be wishful thinking for him to take it back.
There were even teachers from the Wargod Wargod site asking Zhang Junbao about prices. These teachers were from America and had powerful backing, so they weren't afraid of Candace at all.
What exactly do you want?
This time, Candace's tone carried a hint of pleading, and her voice had completely softened.
"Teacher, please wait a moment. Since Candace has asked so sincerely, I'll be merciful and discuss it with him."
"Let's see if he can afford the price first, after all, we're all classmates in the Training Camp." Zhang Junbao's words revealed an inescapable sense of duty to maintain harmony in the Training Camp.
"Haha, if he's unwilling to pay, then you must sell it to me. The sword of the heir of the Polenas Family, it must be quite effective at slaying monsters." The America Wargod teacher stared at Candace and smiled.
"Look, I refused the God of Wargod's request for your sake."
"Alright then, 50 billion. If you put up 50 billion, I'll use this sword to wager a duel with you in a month."
Zhang Junbao finally stated his terms, but Candace still gasped and nearly fainted. This price far exceeded the sword's actual value.
But for Candace, he would rather do anything to raise the $50 billion than lose his status as the first heir of the Polenas Family.
William's family could come up with 30 billion, but he himself would still need to raise another 20 billion, in addition to the 10 billion he had already lost.
Oh my god!
This means he has to come up with a huge sum of 60 billion within a month. Even if he is the heir of the Polenas Family, he does not have the authority to use such a large amount of money!
This already exceeds the net worth of many Wargod. If the previous 40 billion bet was considered a high-stakes gamble, then this one is definitely a gamble of the century.
But Candace had to do it no matter what, or endless darkness awaited him.
"Okay! 50 billion in a month, I'll be waiting!"
After saying this, Candace turned and left. He was afraid that Zhang Junbao would change his mind, and he was also afraid that if he faced Zhang Junbao again, he would not be able to help but attack him.
This is Training Camp, and there's a group of Wargod instructors watching over us. For him to attack Zhang Junbao is practically suicide. Even Chu Qiang, who's right behind Zhang Junbao, is someone he can't handle.
Candace even speculated that Zhang Junbao might be doing this to force him to act in public, so that he could find a suitable excuse to kill him directly.
Zhang Junbao was surprised to find the Polenas Family so endearing; they were even eager to give him money.
Sure enough, the Buddha statues in the temple are just for fun; the real Bodhisattva still needs Candace!
