"He seems to be angry." Apollo put down his phone and shrugged at Hera. He was not bothered by Gao Zhengyang's anger.
A promise from an S-rank powerhouse was worth 1.2 billion dollars. However, as long as he did not break his promise, delaying for a few days would earn him 1.2 billion dollars. Any S-rank powerhouse would make the same choice.
The Zhongtian Ninja challenged Gao Zhengyang. Whether Gao Zhengyang won or lost, it would be difficult for him to leave Mount Fuji alive. It was meaningless for Lei Peng to face half of Japan's transcendent world alone.
The Federation would need at least five S-rank powerhouses to protect Gao Zhengyang. The many S-rank powerhouses in the Federation had yet to react.
Apollo was not optimistic about Gao Zhengyang. Naturally, he would delay the payment. After all, when he took the Spear of Eternity, he did not agree on when he would pay.
Even if a miracle happened and Gao Zhengyang really left Japan alive, it would not matter. He would just give him the money.
As for whether Gao Zhengyang was angry or not, it was not within Apollo's consideration.
Hera said in amusement, "I think I heard him threatening you!"
Hera was the current leader of the Gods Alliance. She was not old, but she had risen to power in the past few years. She had forcefully taken the title of God-queen Hera and became the leader of the Gods Alliance.
Such a powerful woman was naturally disdainful of Gao Zhengyang's threats. She even found it ridiculous.
The Gods Alliance was one of the oldest transcendent organizations in Europe. They had more S-rank powerhouses than one could count on one's fingers. Their power spanned across Europe's military, political, and business sectors. This included the powerful political union, the European Union, which was forcefully promoted by the Gods Alliance.
There were many transcendent organizations on the Blue Planet. However, no matter what criteria were used to select the ten most powerful transcendent organizations, the Gods Alliance would definitely be one of them.
For such a huge organization, the strength that it possessed was astonishing. Although Gao Zhengyang was powerful, as a lone S-rank powerhouse, the Gods Alliance did not take him seriously.
Apollo laughed as well. "Considering that he's only seventeen, I can understand his anger."
Hera said proudly, "Gao Zhengyang dared to threaten you. This is an insult to the Gods Alliance. If we don't give him the money, what can he do? "
"I don't think that's a good idea …" Apollo hesitated.
He had used his own reputation as a guarantor. If he didn't pay, it would be a loss of his reputation. The Alliance was the one who paid and it had nothing to do with him.
There was no need to sacrifice his reputation to save money for the Alliance.
Hera knew what Apollo was thinking. "The Spear of Eternity has lost all its special powers. It's probably a trick played by Gao Zhengyang. He sold the powerless Eternal Spear to the Alliance, which was a lie. Such a thing should not be tolerated. "
Apollo smiled bitterly. Hera's words made sense, but he couldn't blame himself for not noticing the problem and agreeing to buy it. It might be Gao Zhengyang's doing, but it might not be.
But if they went back on their word and refused to pay after buying it, then it would be unreasonable of them.
Hera glanced sideways at Apollo. "Your reputation is so valuable. That's the bad thing about you. You're strong, but you're still a mortal at heart. Morals and laws are made for mortals. We are not bound by them. "
"We're a group, so we have to be bound by rules. Unless there's only one individual who doesn't fear or care about anything! "
As Apollo spoke, he suddenly thought of Gao Zhengyang. He thought of Gao Zhengyang's deep and clear eyes that rippled with indifference and ruthlessness. There was no anger, no killing intent, no fear, and no excitement. There was only the indifference of a god looking down on him from above.
That youth might not care about rules and laws.
Apollo's heart turned cold at the thought. "Gao Zhengyang definitely won't live past the 1st of December. There's no need for us to be bad guys."
"I'm actually very curious how the Japanese will deal with Gao Zhengyang!"
Hera clicked her tongue. "These bastards are very sinister and vicious. Gao Zhengyang might be killed by them before he even sees the Heavenly Ninja!"
Apollo was stunned. "All the Extraordinaries in the world are watching this duel. The Japanese won't go that far, will they?"
"You're underestimating them! They've always been willing to do anything to win! "
Hera said seriously, "Don't underestimate these bastards. They didn't survive until now because of other people's pity."
Japan was the loser of the world war. However, with the support of the United States, they quickly walked out of the shadow of defeat. After decades of development, they even became the second largest economy on the Blue Planet.
They were able to do this because a few Grade-S in Japan had experienced a crushing defeat and were able to work hard. They pushed the entire Japanese economy to develop rapidly.
Among them, the most important one was Shin Genho. This person relied on his skills to struggle and survive between the gaps of various countries. In the end, he led the Japanese out of the shadow of defeat. They ushered in the overall economic boom.
However, Shin Genho died of illness at the end of the last century. His death also marked the end of an era in Japan. From then on, Japan became the lackey of the United States.
The Heavenly Ninja was slightly younger than Shin Genho. Shin Genho developed the economy while he was in charge of education. Under his nurturing, Japan had produced more than 20 Grade-S in the past few decades.
Judging from the current impact, the Heavenly Ninja who was still alive was undoubtedly the Grandmaster of the Japanese transcendent world. He was also the spiritual leader. No one dared to disobey him.
Before Heavenly Ninja died, he was unwilling to be left out and took the initiative to challenge Gao Zhengyang. Such a shameless transcendent Grandmaster was naturally looked down upon.
However, Hera had to admit that shamelessness was useful most of the time. Just like Apollo. If he was as shameless as Heavenly Ninja, he wouldn't have to pay 1.2 billion dollars. What could Gao Zhengyang do?
However, no matter how shameless Heavenly Ninja was, he was still a transcendent Grandmaster. Hera was also very curious about how much power this Grandmaster had left. What kind of shameless methods would he use to deal with Gao Zhengyang?
Unfortunately, Heavenly Ninja did not invite outsiders to watch the duel. No matter how curious Hera was, she could not watch the duel in person. She could only hope that the weather would be better so that she could get some clear pictures through the surveillance satellites.
It was not just the Gods Alliance. All the Transcendents were watching the duel. As the time of the duel approached, many Transcendents from all over the world rushed to Japan.
The Arbitration Committee, the Paladins, the Skull Guild, the Dark Society, and other major organizations were also watching the duel through various channels.
The public forum of the Transcendents was discussing the duel every day. The number of people posting and replying to the post was extremely high.
Some even posted Heavenly Ninja's past achievements and speculated about his current state. Some even used the data to make a detailed table to compare Heavenly Ninja and Gao Zhengyang.
Through a simple comparison of the data, Gao Zhengyang had a record of killing two S-Grade Powerhouses in a row. He was far ahead in terms of data.
There were even people who dug deep into Gao Zhengyang and determined that he was the culprit behind the serial murders in Shangjiang. They also speculated that he had the ability to control people's minds. This post also received many praises and replies.
Because of this post, the number of people who bet on Gao Zhengyang to win increased by 30% in an instant.
This duel, of course, attracted a lot of bookmakers to the forum. The gold coins in the forum were stronger than the currency in real life. A single post caused Gao Zhengyang to become a hot topic, and the huge bets that followed caused the bookmakers to feel dizzy.
There were dozens of bookmakers in the Transcendents forum, but all of them belonged to the same organization, Dinosaur Valley. In fact, Dinosaur Valley also controlled the International Gambling Association. It was the largest gambling company in the world.
Gao Zhengyang's sudden rise in popularity was not in line with Dinosaur Valley's interests. They lowered the odds for Gao Zhengyang's victory.
At the same time, they started a new bet. Would Gao Zhengyang be able to leave Japan alive? The odds were 1 to 100.
This extremely high odds immediately attracted everyone's attention. Those who played the game all loved excitement. This was the first time in the forum's history that there was such a high odds.
However, with such high odds, it was too difficult to win. Nevertheless, there would always be some who loved excitement and would throw in a few gold coins to test their luck.
A single gold coin was equivalent to 1 million. This bet was worth at least 1.8 billion federal coins. To the bookmakers, this money was like picking it up for free.
The unprecedented odds showed that Dinosaur Valley had already determined that Gao Zhengyang would die. Any Extraordinaire with a bit of common sense would be able to see Dinosaur Valley's attitude through this bet.
Xu Xu, who had been paying attention to the situation every day, also saw the bets that the bookmakers had placed. Of course, she knew what it meant!
Xu Xu could not tell what she was feeling. In fact, even without the forum post, she had already guessed that Gao Zhengyang was the murderer of Shang Jiang's murder. Only he had the ability and motive to do so.
However, no matter what, Gao Zhengyang had treated her well, and he treated Xu Xu even better. The Xu family had also benefited greatly from the murder case.
Looking back, those who did not know the truth might even think that the mastermind of the murder was the Xu family.
Xu Xu was silent for a long time, and she could only sigh. She did not know what to say to Gao Zhengyang, nor did she know what to say to Xu Xu.
For some unknown reason, Xu Xu gritted her teeth and bet all the 13 gold coins she had on her. She could only use this method to support Gao Zhengyang.
The bets on the forum were transparent, so after Xu Xu placed her bet, the bet behind Gao Zhengyang increased to more than 300 gold coins.
There were many bookmakers, but the bookmaker named Meng Ruren was undoubtedly the biggest in Asia. He was an S-class expert and had an outstanding reputation. Thus, the Asian region preferred to place their bets on him.
Meng Ruren was also paying attention to the bets, so he could not help but laugh when he saw that there were people who kept giving away money. There would always be people who wanted to take advantage of the situation. Unfortunately, they would never get to take advantage of the situation!
If the bookmakers did not take advantage of the situation, they would have starved to death a long time ago!
Meng Ruren casually refreshed the forum post and realized that the bet on Gao Zhengyang leaving Japan alive had changed to 3341 gold coins.
He almost thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him. Who had suddenly bet 3000 gold coins on Gao Zhengyang? This was a bet worth 3 billion!
Meng Ruren was the bookmaker, so he could easily find the list of bets. Then, he saw Lei Peng's name on the list.
"Crazy …" He muttered to himself in disbelief.
At the same time, Xu Xu and many others saw the change in the bet amount.
There was no doubt that the 3000 gold coins was bet by a single person.
The forum suddenly became lively. Everyone was discussing who was rich enough to throw 3 billion into the water just like that.
Gao Zhengyang, who was browsing the forum, was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. He closed the forum interface and suddenly asked Lei Peng curiously, "Can Meng Ruren afford 300 billion?"
