Edson didn't return to his own shed; instead, he turned a corner and headed straight for Lu Xiao.
Seeing Edson approaching Lu Xiao, the scene quieted down once again.
"Mr. Lu Xiao, I heard you placed a two billion US dollar bet on yourself?" Edson didn't beat around the bush and directly inquired.
Lu Xiao glanced at Edson and then smiled, shaking his head, "No, the rules don't allow betting on oneself. It was my girlfriend, to show her support, who placed the bet on me."
A muscle twitched on Edson's face.
Lu Xiao, do you believe what you're saying?
Your girlfriend, to show her support, used twenty billion US dollars?
I, Edson, have lived for seventy to eighty years and have never seen such support with twenty billion US dollars.
"So that's how it is, then, Mr. Lu Xiao. But you should know, even if you make it to the finals, your opponent will still be me."
It wasn't that he looked down on Lu Xiao; the gap was just too large.
