Reawakening: SSS-Rank Villain's POV-Chapter 236: Greed! (fixed)
After announcing that he was ending the club meeting, the club members dispersed one after another.
Some went to the wild forest to complete their missions, while others went to do their own things.
Only Lucian was left standing where he was.
...
He took out his cell phone and called the person in charge of the betting.
"Hello, the result of my bet should be out, right? When is the settlement?"
Lucian asked straightforwardly after the call was connected.
The person on the other end of the phone stuttered for a while and then explained, "I’m still calculating here. The amount is quite large, so it’s pretty troublesome. You should understand."
"Why should I care? Didn’t you say that it’s not time for settlement yet? Then why has someone already got their money?"
Lucian questioned him sternly and with an imposing manner.
When the person in charge on the other side of the phone heard this, his tone became unfriendly.
"I knew that I couldn’t hide it any longer. Since you found out, then I’ll be straightforward with you. We think that you faked the match!"
Lucian wanted to laugh. He couldn’t believe that they were accusing him of faking a match. Could his excuse be any more ridiculous?
Now that Lucian had exposed his lie, he came up with an excuse and accused Lucian of faking his match. His lying skills were absolutely terrible!
"I faked the match? Are you sleep-talking?"
The person in charge chuckled, "You should know very well whether you faked the match or not. You concealed your strength from the start and only revealed your strength after placing a bet on yourself. Isn’t this faking the match?"
Lucian couldn’t help but laugh. This excuse was even worse than the last, and it didn’t make any sense!
"I can see you’re not planning to give me my money, right?"
The other party sneered, "If you have to think of it this way, I guess so. Either way, I won’t give you the money!"
Lucian didn’t get angry at this situation. He said, "I have two choices. One is to rush over and beat you up, and the other is to report you to the dean for stealing my wealth. Who do you think the dean will side with?
When the person in charge heard this, he was startled.
Without a doubt, Lucian’s position before the Dean was higher and more important than his.
If Lucian went to report him, he would definitely be punished.
"What’s the point of snitching? If you have the ability, come and fight me one-on-one. I will return the 60 million to you if you defeat me!"
Lucian smiled faintly. He knew that the other party was afraid that he would report him to the Dean.
However, Lucian didn’t mind his suggestion. He decided to give him what he wanted, a one-on-one fight.
It just so happened that Lucian’s club had just been established, and those clubs established by the senior students must have started planning how they should deal with his club. If he could defeat a senior, it would be proof of the strength of his Featherwing club!
"Name a place."
"Training Hall No. 1, in the center of the campus. I’ll wait for you here."
After hanging up the phone, Lucian immediately drove to training hall No. 1.
After getting in the car, Emily leaned on Lucian’s seat and asked, "Who were you on the phone with just now? You’ve been talking for so long."
Lucian said with a serious face, "A guy who took my money!"
"What? Did someone dare take your money? How much?"
"60 million, and it’s an older student."
Emily immediately reacted, "It’s the money you bet last time! Did that guy not pay up? Such shamelessness!"
Lorriane, too, clenched her fists in anger. "This scoundrel, we have to teach him a lesson."
"You’re not planning to fight with him, are you?" Emily looked at Lucian and asked.
"Of course, I can’t just let him have the 60 million, right?"
"But he’s a senior student. In the environment of Primordial Godslayer University, even if he cultivates for only a year more than you, his strength will be much stronger than yours. I think that..."
Emily’s face was full of worry. She felt it would be difficult for Lucian to win this fight.
Lucian himself also knew of the abundance of cultivation resources at Primordial Godslayer University. The difference between the students from each year was quite significant.
With the help of these abundant resources, the increment in their strength in a year here was equivalent to five years outside Primordial Godslayer University!
This was also one of the reasons why the older students in the school bullied the new students. After all, the difference in strength between them was too great. No matter how a third-year student struggled, it was impossible for him to defeat a fourth-year student.
It was even more so for the new students. The new students had never been cultivated at Primordial Godslayer University before. It would be a crushing defeat if a new student fought against the second-year students.
Lucian knew this, but he still had to go over and complete the duel.
The first reason was for his 60 million, and the second was to increase the prestige of his club.
If he could represent the club and defeat these seniors, only then would these people would value his club.
"Don’t worry; I will defeat him."
One of the reasons why Lucian was so confident in saying this was the dragon power he had accumulated!
Now that he had one point’s worth of dragon power, he could release the terrifying Dragon Fist!
Moreover, he was almost done accumulating the second point of dragon power.
Lucian didn’t need to worry for long after releasing a Dragon Fist, as soon he would be able to finish accumulating the second dragon power.
Lucian opened his personal interface and checked the progress bar for his dragon power.
[ Current progress: Five ox power, nine tiger power, seven elephant power ]
Starting from the ox power, he needed a total of one thousand ox powers with a conversion of ten-to-one to reach the strength of one dragon power.
Luckily, the acquisition of ox power was not difficult. Lucian could slowly gather them with just his daily running exercise.
Every time he uses a dragon skill, it will give him one tiger power.
If Lucian wanted to accumulate one point of dragon power as soon as possible, he only needed to train his skills in his cultivation training room.
The power of the Dragon Fist was probably ten times or a hundred times stronger than his own attack power.
It was very powerful, but it also had a weakness. It was just a short burst of strength.
If the instantaneous burst of this punch didn’t defeat the opponent, it would be bad for him.
Of course, Lucian was still very confident in his speed, so that wouldn’t be a problem.
He drove and soon arrived at the training hall.
Emily and Lorriane got out of the car and followed Lucian into the training hall.
"Be careful." Lorriane reminded him, "If you’re no match for them, the two of us will save you immediately."
Lucian waved his hand. "Forget it. I don’t want to be saved by two girls. If I lose, you guys can just watch from the side."
Lorriane was immediately unhappy with his words. "How can that be? We’re friends. We can’t just sit and watch."
Emily also nodded. "That’s right, don’t forget that you still owe us a favor. Don’t tell us what to do."
Lucian shook his head helplessly and walked towards the center of the training hall.
In the center of the training hall stood the person who had opened the bet.
However, there were two other senior students beside him.
"He Qiang, it’s this kid who formed his own club and made our club unable to recruit a single person!"
"This guy dares to challenge our order openly. He doesn’t even acknowledge us as his seniors!"
"I’ll leave the rest to you. If you defeat him, his club will be disbanded!"
"That’s right. As long as we release the video of him being beaten up, all his club members will withdraw from his club!"
The man known as He Qiang was the guy who had taken Lucian’s 60 million dollars for himself.
At that moment, he heard what his two friends beside him said, and he immediately got restless.
...
"Don’t worry, leave it to me. Isn’t this guy publicly acknowledged as a genius? I’ll let him see the reality of things around here!"
"This will also let those freshmen know the rules of this university. Otherwise, they’ll keep thinking that they have the ability to break the rules of this university!"
After saying that, He Qiang took a step forward and looked at Lucian. "I admire your guts to come over. It seems that you are determined to take this 60 million."
"What nonsense. To begin with, this 60 million is mine. Why shouldn’t I take it? I should be saying how brave of you to take this money from me; what a black-hearted guy you are."
He Qiang smiled shamelessly, "So what if I did it? Do you know that you need to have the appropriate position to match your wealth? You’re not worthy of having so much money!"
"Don’t think the whole world will give in to you just because you got a good result in the trials!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
"No matter how talented you are! It’s futile if you don’t have the chance to grow!"
