Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 11280: Chapter 11278: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!

“Me?”

Hou Tonghai’s face turned bitter, but he didn’t dare to refuse and could only brace himself.

There was nothing he could do about it. This Young Master Qi was a fool. With his background, if he were to really act out, the Night Center Palace would definitely be destroyed today. Then, he, the manager of the station, would really be finished.

When Hou Tonghai entered the arena, the spectators immediately started to cheer.

Steward Hou, you’ve been pretending to be a grandson for so long. You’re finally going to be exposed today, right?”

“Let’s make a bet. How much does Hou Tonghai have?”

“Fifty thousand!”

“How is that possible? He’s considered a higher-up in the Midnight Palace. I’ll bet 100,000!”

The crowd rose and fell. Hou Tonghai had always been a smooth talker, and he had a good relationship with others. However, at this moment, no one was helping him out.

Human nature always liked to watch tragedies. As long as one was not the protagonist of the tragedy, the onlookers would never find it too big.

In the end, Hou Tonghai gritted his teeth and entered the Scale of Fortune.

Before he could sit properly, the luck scale started to operate. The surrounding display array materialized the luck value into a pillar and rose from the ground.

Ten thousand…Thirty thousand…Fifty thousand…100,000…

The noise gradually quieted down.

When Hou Tonghai’s fortune exceeded 300,000, no one on the viewing platform spoke.

Although Hou Tonghai was the manager of the Night Center Palace, in the eyes of these top second-generation heirs, he was essentially a servant and had never taken him seriously.

But now, they realized that the number of servants who were only worthy of serving others in their eyes was actually more than theirs!

How could he accept this?

The Fate Pillar displayed in the arena was still rising. It only stopped when it broke through 500,000 Fate.

For a moment, those people who had teased and ridiculed him earlier all felt their faces burn and they all fell silent.

Don’t look down on these top-notch second-generation heirs. Each of them sounded impressive, but in the end, it was only their family background that was impressive, not themselves.

Among them, those who could mobilize more than 500,000 providence were extremely rare.

In other words, Hou Tonghai, as the manager of the Night Center Palace, was enough to kill ninety percent of the so-called top-tier second-generation heirs.

To think that they had always treated the other party as a servant. In the end, they were the clowns.

However, Hou Tonghai himself did not feel the slightest bit proud. Looking at the complicated expressions of the crowd, he could not help but feel a little heavy.

He saw many greedy gazes among them.

At this moment, he was no different from a piece of ready-made fat meat in the eyes of some people.

Hou Tonghai wasn’t too worried about this. He had the backing of the Night Center Palace, so he wasn’t someone that could be provoked by just anyone. The problem was that he had to change the way he treated people in the past.

This was a little troublesome.

Hou Tonghai sighed as he walked out of the Scale of Fortune. He was still amiable and humble in front of everyone, but those who were sensitive had already noticed that his temperament had changed.

From a pure server, he quietly became a manager in charge of a region.

This was his true background.

A portion of the people felt a chill in their hearts. Hou Tonghai would not be so easy to talk to in the future.

However, there was still a portion of people who were still at a loss.

“Could it be that there’s a problem with the Scale of Fortune? Maybe even if I throw my dog up there, I’ll have 500,000 luck!”

A frivolous man questioned in front of everyone.

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice. It was Qin Kong, the youngest son of the Hejian Prefecture’s Qin family head.

Although they both had the surname Qin, his Qin did not have any blood relations with King Qin’s mansion. However, even if they were not related, the Qin family of Hejian Prefecture was still very powerful. It was enough to rank among the first-tier forces below the seven kings ‘mansions.

With this family background, Qin Kong could barely qualify as a top second-generation heir.

” Hmph!” Young Master Qi sneered.” Won’t you know if there’s a problem with my Scale of Luck if you go up and try it?”

“That’s right. If you have the guts, go up and try!”

A group of people immediately followed suit.

“Let’s try!”

Qin Kong was so agitated that he immediately turned around and entered the arena, striding onto the Scale of Luck.

After a few breaths, the Pillar of Fortune stopped rising and finally stopped at 30,000.

The scene fell into a strange silence.

Although many of the second-generation heirs present could not even compare to Hou Tonghai’s 500,000 Fate, they could still afford 100,000 Fate if they really wanted to get serious.

After all, he was known as the top second-generation. Even if he was not as famous as the Lu family in Liaojing Prefecture, it was too shabby to say that he could not even take out 100,000 Fate.

In room 17, Zhao Feng covered her mouth and laughed.

Lin Yi looked at him.

Although this woman claimed that she was poor, she would not even blink when she took out tens of thousands of luck. This was only her pocket money. If she really took out her private savings, she would have at least hundreds of thousands.

This was because she had never placed much importance on luck. If she had asked King Zhao, with King Zhao’s crazy personality, he would probably sell the entire King Zhao’s residence without batting an eye.

No matter what, Qin Kong’s 30,000 providence was indeed an eye-opener for the second-generation heirs.

“Thirty thousand? Are you kidding me?”

“The Qin family of Hejian Prefecture shouldn’t be so poor, right? After all, they are still considered a first-tier family.”

” Hehe, the Qin family of Hejian Prefecture is rich, but what does it have to do with Qin Kong? No matter how big the family business is, it won’t be passed to him!”

Qin Kong’s face turned red as he listened to the ridicule from all directions. He pointed at the Scale of Fate and cursed,” I told you! There was something wrong with this luck scale! A servant has 500,000 luck, but the master of the Qin family of Hejian Prefecture only has 30,000 luck. Do you think it’s possible?”

Everyone was stunned.

Now that he said it, it did not seem unreasonable.

Young Master Qi sneered.” Qin Yao, as far as I know, you’ve been writing IOUs everywhere. You even want to go out for a meal and renege on your debt. Do you want me to help you explain?”

“No, there’s no need.”

Qin Kong immediately retreated in a panic. With a flushed face, he escaped from the Night Center Palace, not daring to look back.

When everyone saw this scene, how could they not know the details of this fellow? Clearly, his underwear had been stripped off by the Scale of Fortune.

However, this also proved that the Luck Scale was accurate. Hou Tonghai’s 500,000 yuan fortune was also true. This was a solid slap to the faces of many second-generation heirs present.

Looking around, no one dared to make a sound.

He was afraid that he would be the next one to stand out.

Luckily, Young Master Qi didn’t make things difficult for them. Seeing that the time was right, he immediately targeted Lin Yi.

“Lin Yi, you were the one who caused trouble at the door, right?”
