Gnyan's tough situation
The betting fiasco has put Gnyan in an extremely tough position.
At first, he thought he only has to cough up five hundred million, even though it is an insane amount and he couldn't take it out in an instant, he can still give it a try and see if he can arrange the amount by borrowing from his aides.
But now, it turned into one billion.
This made the situation completely out of his hand. Even though his family is rich and powerful, nobody would give him, a young master hundreds of millions of spirit stones as an allowance. The allowance he would get from his family is merely a few million and he would have to spend it on his cultivation growth.
Even then, the allowance is not sufficient at all, he still has to feed his subordinates and some elders to have enough power which made him even earn money.
He could take a couple of hundreds of millions, as for one billion it is impossible without the family intervention.
