NOVEL WEB Chapter 699: Evenly Matched
Galen saw so much money bet on Su Mo, he waved his hand without a word, instructing someone to follow up and place bets too, money not earned is money wasted.
Lin Xiaoyu saw the bets on Owen increasing, she continued to manipulate the betting, placing a wager on Su Mo, maintaining the odds at a certain level. This led the opposing side to feel there's money to be earned, making them willing to keep betting.
"Boss, the bets on that Su Mo have already reached 20 million. Owen's side has bets amounting to 60 million, 30 million of which are from scattered bettors, and those scattered bettors are continuously increasing their stakes."
The subordinate responsible for bets reported the situation to Galen.
"Increase the stakes, we want the big slice."
Galen said greedily.
"Could this cause a problem?"
The subordinate said with a bit of concern.
"Afraid of what? Owen's strength is right there, even though that kid's combat power is pretty good, he can't stir up any waves. He won't even realize that I'll send the strongest fighter right up against him,"
Galen said confidently, having great trust in Owen's abilities.
That Su Mo is quite strong, but for people like them who have crawled out from heaps of dead bodies, he's nothing.
"Understood."
The nearby subordinate responded promptly.
Soon Owen's bets soared again, but unexpectedly Su Mo's bets also increased.
Thus the scattered bettors continued to increase their stakes, while Galen kept signaling to increase the bets to grab the big slice.
The result was the bets on both sides seemed out of control.
Su Mo rose to 30 million, Owen soared to 95 million.
But even so, Lin Xiaoyu didn't intend to let go, decisively placing all 53.65 million Star Coins from Su Mo's bank card, plus the 7.5 million earned from the previous match.
Ultimately Su Mo's bets reached 63.98 million Star Coins, revealing only a few scattered bettors had put in small amounts, relying on luck. Meanwhile, Owen's bets surged to an astonishing 263 million Star Coins, 180 million of which were placed by Galen, and the on-site scattered bettors bet 83 million Star Coins.
Su Mo watched the soaring bets, the corners of his mouth slightly curved with a hint of a smile.
Never expected Lin Xiaoyu to be quite adept at manipulation, succeeding in luring the bets.
At this moment, the atmosphere on site reached its peak, everyone seeing such high stakes was incredibly excited, shouting.
"Hurry up and start!"
...
Soon the arena was cleared again.
Su Mo and Owen simultaneously piloted the third-generation Red Guard Mecha, holding a Beam Saber, rising from the bottom of the arena.
"Owen! Owen!"
"Kill him!"
...
The spectators' emotions were completely ignited by Owen's appearance, they shouted frantically.
They had immense faith in Owen.
Owen began fighting from the very first day the Underground Arena opened, accumulating a record of 1212 battles.
Win rate 100%
No one who fought him walked away unscathed, the least they suffered was lifelong disability.
Every time he appears, he can ignite the atmosphere on-site.
Su Mo looked at the frenzied crowd on-site, his expression grew increasingly indifferent.
At this moment, the referee didn't waste any words, directly announcing: "The match begins!"
Su Mo maneuvered the Red Guard Mecha into a slight crouch, raised the Beam Saber in hand, arrogantly saying to Owen: "You still have time to surrender now, otherwise once it starts, I can't guarantee the outcome."
"Trash!"
Owen's eyes suddenly opened wide, bloodshot and fierce, then the entire Red Guard Mecha stomped heavily on the ground, charging at Su Mo like a missile, fiercely swinging the Beam Saber down on him.
Only to see Su Mo likewise maneuver the Red Guard Mecha, exploding forward to meet the attack.
The two Mechas' Beam Sabers clashed together.
Crack!
Light particles scattered around.
There was a sense of evenly matched force.
The two of them immediately retracted their Beam Blades, quickly chopping towards each other.
The two Mechas continuously collided, the battle was extraordinarily fierce.
But soon the Mecha piloted by Su Mo showed signs of exhaustion, retreating continuously.
On the high platform, Galen's subordinates exclaimed in shock: "Boss, this guy can surprisingly withstand Lord Owen's attacks, he seems even stronger than when fighting Carmenus."
Galen sneered: "What good is it no matter how strong he is."
"Boss, your wisdom is indeed profound for deploying Owen, Big Brother Owen can even pilot the fourth-generation Biological Mecha, his skills with Pure Mechanical Mecha are exceptionally strong, the opponent is doomed."
The subordinates complimented one after another.
In the arena, Owen's attacks became increasingly fierce, seemingly falling into a rampant state, swinging the Beam Saber like a shadow.
Only to see Su Mo being suppressed, retreating step by step, unable to block, the Mecha's body was struck several times, exposing internal circuits.
Whether by coincidence or otherwise, those strikes didn't hit vital points, causing minimal damage.
However, it seemed as if Su Mo was about to fall, about to be taken down the next second.
At this moment, Su Mo maneuvered the Red Guard Mecha, forced into a corner of the arena, with nowhere else to retreat, Owen fiercely swung the Beam Saber in his hand horizontally. Su Mo promptly controlled the Mecha to perform a roll, narrowly avoiding the attack.
The on-site spectators burst out laughing!
"Haha!"
"That's badass, using such an evasive maneuver."
...
Lin Xiaoyu saw this scene, somewhat confused, the wagers were already successfully tricked, why is Su Mo still acting? Clearly, he could end the opponent quicker.
Galen watched Su Mo being chased down, his smile grew more radiant.
It was evident that the guy named Su Mo had reached his limit, must admit this guy's strength was quite good.
A rare few can hold out so long under Owen's scrutiny.
But it's no use, he is destined to die.
In the arena, Owen maneuvered the Red Guard, turning and chasing fiercely, swinging a sharp blade down towards Su Mo's unrisen form.
His attack was extremely fierce, leaving no room for respite.
Su Mo maneuvered the Red Guard Mecha to roll away from the attack again, simultaneously swinging the Beam Saber with a backhand.
Owen's pupils shrank, neural reflexes rapidly responding, pulling the control levers to retreat decisively.
But even so, the chest of the Mecha was still scarred with a stunningly deep cut, yet it didn't hit vital points.
Su Mo saw this, a rare trace of surprise in his eyes, this guy's instinct for danger is stronger than expected. If guessed correctly, he probably hadn't participated less on life-and-death battlefields.
Although a bit surprising, Su Mo paid no mind, maneuvering the Red Guard to rise.
Owen's gaze locked onto Su Mo, treating him increasingly seriously, intuition told him this enemy was somewhat dangerous.
Then Owen maneuvered the Mecha to charge forward.
At this point, Su Mo also exploded, shouting loudly: "I'll fight you!"
Subsequently, Su Mo furiously drove the Red Guard, charging aggressively.
The atmosphere on-site reached a fever pitch.
Owen had never been so provoked and taunted, he instantly became enraged, no longer playing games with Su Mo.
