After deliberating for two minutes, Shopkeeper Chou decisively adopted Sima Youyue's suggestion and increased the odds for the last two bets. As expected, it attracted another hundred people to place their bets.
"Not enough, not enough!"
Shopkeeper Chou looked at the account book with a sad face and sighed continuously.
Hearing his dissatisfaction, the waiter looked at him with disdain and said, "Shopkeeper, let's raise the odds for the first one even higher."
"What do you know!" Innkeeper Chou glared at him and said, "There are already a lot of people who belong to the first category. Look, ninety percent of them belong to the first category. If there are any more and they get killed by the Heavenly Tiger Hall, we will have to compensate them so much that we won't even have our underwear left!"
"Tsk, do you think I don't know you? Weren't you sure that they would be fine? Even if something happened, you would go against the agreement and let them be fine! "The waiter said with a face of disbelief.
"That's true." Innkeeper Chou thought it through and said, "Then release the news and change the compensation rate from 1: 10 to 1: 20."
In just two days, nearly ten thousand people came to place their bets.
Sima Youyue was speechless when she saw the results. It seemed like not many people thought that they would survive!
At this moment, everyone in the Heavenly Tiger Hall was looking curiously in the direction of the meeting hall.
Ever since the incident with Shopkeeper Chou, the Hall Master rarely showed himself. All the decisions in the Hall were made by the Vice Hall Master and the Elders. Today, he came out of seclusion again, which meant that something big must have happened.
In the conference hall, everyone was silent as they looked at Hall Master Zhou Haimo, who was sitting on the main seat.
Zhou Haimo looked to be in his forties. He was not tall, but he gave people a sense of absolute oppression.
"What's going on this time? How did you offend a Formation Master and a Beast Tamer? "His deep voice was filled with anger. It seemed like he was unhappy that he had offended Sima Youyue and the rest.
"According to the information we've gathered, Hall Master Zhou offended her because he tried to chase her out of the Zhuo Family's Upper Park. As for Vice Hall Master Zhou, it was because they didn't pay the entrance fee and protection fee. When he went to deal with them, he took a fancy to that master's beauty and wanted to snatch it back. That was why he was killed by her. "A branch hall master said.
"So you're saying that she wasn't the one who provoked the Heavenly Tiger Hall?" Zhou Haimo asked.
The Hall Masters looked at each other and had to admit this fact. They nodded and said, "Yes."
"If it weren't for the fact that I happened to come out of seclusion, would you have caused the same thing to happen again?" Zhou Haimo asked.
The people below were silent.
"But Hall Master, those are the children left behind by Little Aunt. We said that we would take good care of them. Now that they have been killed, are we just going to let them go?" Vice Hall Master Zhou Hai Min said unwillingly.
"A master who is both a Beast Tamer and a Formation Master. Is he someone we can easily offend?" Zhou Haimo scolded.
Zhou Haimin disagreed and retorted, "But we've also checked. They're just people from the lower continent. They don't have any status or background. Even if we kill them, no one will say anything!"
"Fool!" Zhou Haimo looked at his own brother and said, "Is it because you've been in charge of the Heavenly Tiger Hall all these years that you've become arrogant and complacent? Do you think that you can kill anyone? That's a Beast Tamer and a Formation Master. If you can't kill him, once he has the chance to leave, how can the Heavenly Tiger Hall continue to exist?! "
"But they …" Zhou Haimin wanted to say something, but his brother glared at him.
"Are you trying to say that they aren't strong enough?" Zhou Haimo said.
Zhou Haimin didn't say anything, silently agreeing with his brother's words.
"Hmph, do you know how strong an Formation Master is?" Zhou Haimo snorted, "You've only seen their strength on the surface. You haven't seen the killing power of the Formation Master! Furthermore, their strength isn't weak. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to kill the Hall Masters of the Heavenly Tiger Hall! Or do you want to try the effects of the Formation Master? "
"I …" How could Zhou Haimin not know the power of an Formation Master? But he wanted to avenge his family more!
"You'd better give up on the idea of settling scores with them. From now on, you can't think of revenge. Instead, you have to treat them with respect. Otherwise, if you bring trouble to the Heavenly Tiger Hall, I'll be the first to not let you off! Do you hear me? "
"Got it." Although he was unwilling, Zhou Haimin still responded.
"Then Hall Master, what should we do now?" One of the Hall Masters asked.
"We've already provoked them twice. We can't offend them now. Instead, we have to go and apologize. If we can be on good terms with them, that would be the best. Even if we can't be on good terms with them, we still have to erase the grudges from before. "Zhou Haimo said.
"Then who's going to do this?"
Zhou Haimo thought for a moment, then said, "I'll go personally."
"Hall Master?!" The Hall Masters looked at Zhou Haimo in shock. He actually wanted to go personally?
"Ever since the Heavenly Tiger Hall's teleportation array broke down, we have less contact with the outside world. As a result, everyone has become frogs at the bottom of a well." Zhou Haimo said, "An Array Master or a Beast Tamer Master would have a very high status in the outside world. As for someone who is both an Array Master and a Beast Tamer Master, even in a higher power, they would be treated with great respect. Now that we've offended them, we naturally have to go and apologize. Are they still in the inn? "
"Yes, other than that Sima Youyue and Bei Gong Tang who came out once, no one else has come out." Someone replied.
"Go to the warehouse and retrieve some good treasures." Zhou Haimo instructed.
"Yes, Hall Master."
When the Heavenly Tiger Hall's members found out that the Hall Master had personally gone to apologize to Sima Youyue and the rest, they were all shocked beyond words.
They had been waiting for orders from above to capture Sima Youyue and the rest. Now that they had been ordered to treat the other party with respect, their hearts were in a mess.
What was even more inconceivable were the people of Hong City. When they saw the important figures of the Heavenly Tiger Hall personally appear at the inn, they all thought that their eyes were playing tricks on them.
"Oh, even the Hall Master is here!" Innkeeper Chou looked up and saw Zhou Haimo, smiling as he said.
Zhou Haimo saw that Innkeeper Chou was still the same as he had been for the past few decades. Other than his aura becoming more unfathomable, there was no trace of it on him at all.
He smiled and asked, "How have you been all these years, Innkeeper Chou?"
Innkeeper Chou chuckled and said, "Good, good. It's just that your people broke many of my tables and chairs, but you didn't compensate me …"
"Aren't you going to compensate Innkeeper Chou for the tables and chairs?" Zhou Haimo glanced at Zhou Hai Min who was beside him.
Zhou Hai Min reluctantly came to the counter and asked, "How much?"
"Not much, just ten thousand middle ranked crystals." Innkeeper Chou narrowed his eyes and said.
Zhou Hai Min was furious, but he still accepted his fate and gave him ten thousand middle ranked crystals before returning to Zhou Haimo's side.
"Innkeeper Chou, is Great Master Sima still here?" Zhou Haimo asked.
Innkeeper Chou blinked, his heart skipping a beat.
Great Master?
