"Da Niu?"
Third Madam lowered her head and thought for a moment, then her face lit up with joy.
"I remember now! It's that dog Xu Shao left with me, right?"
"Mm, a good arrangement."
"This dog has been trained at the arena for a long time."
"And its appearance is quite serene, easily giving people the misconception that it's not a fighter."
The more Third Madam spoke, the prouder she became, her face gradually glowing with excitement.
"Arrange it for me immediately! Pick out a fierce-looking dog from the cages for them to pressure!"
"Then, Da Niu will thoroughly end it!"
With Third Madam's death order, the halftime break for this match came a little longer than usual.
Song Qiao wasn't in a hurry either, no matter what they were arranging behind the scenes.
Anyway, when two dogs were brought out, someone had to watch them.
As long as he caught a glimpse, he believed he would definitely be able to bet correctly!
During the halftime break, Song Qiao also received his winnings.
Including the initial capital of 300 million, his chips now reached 540 million.
He had earned 240 million in just that last match!
This opened Jiang Rou's eyes, and she said in surprise, "If we earn another 60 million, our debt will be repaid!"
Song Qiao was startled by her words and quickly reminded her.
"That's not the same thing! What we earn is what we earn, it can't be used to offset her debt!"
"Otherwise, what would I be playing here with her for?"
"That makes sense!" Jiang Rou looked at Song Qiao with admiration, stars twinkling in her eyes.
With a large sum of money in hand, Song Qiao thought about trying to cash it out.
As it turned out, this dog fighting arena had its own grace.
When Song Qiao took his chips to cash them in, the staff didn't ask too many questions or try to retain him. They immediately proceeded with the conversion.
In a moment, 540 million yuan appeared in Song Qiao's account!
Looking at the SMS notification of the successful deposit on his phone, Song Qiao said with a smile.
"It seems Third Madam really isn't short of money. She can afford to lose this much."
"Then what should we do now?" Jiang Rou asked, looking confused.
"Since she can afford to lose..." Song Qiao took out his bank card again and continued.
"Then today, let her bleed more!"
Money, no one ever dislikes having more of it.
Song Qiao was confident he could win, and after the first round, Jiang Rou was completely awestruck by him.
The two hit it off immediately and went to find the staff to exchange for another batch of chips.
Just waiting for the moment the next match began.
Clang!
This halftime break lasted a full 20 minutes, and soon the sound of a gong drew everyone's attention back.
It was the host's passionate speech, and two more gambling dogs were brought in, confined in iron cages.
Compared to the two terrifying giant mastiffs from before, these two dogs were much smaller.
It was a match between small to medium-sized breeds, and one of them was heavily introduced by the host.
Song Qiao also knew its name was 'Da Niu'.
Da Niu's opponent was a purebred American bulldog.
Its eyes were piercing, and its neck was short and thick.
Coupled with the bulldog's low stance, it looked as steady as an old dog!
As soon as the two dogs appeared, they sparked widespread discussion among the gamblers.
Topics about which one to bet on were endless.
"Is there even a need to ask? Of course, we bet on the bulldog!"
"I'm telling you, this thing has a fierce temper! Look at its ferocious appearance, its killing intent is palpable!"
"But I heard that Da Niu is a breed specifically cultivated by Third Madam."
"Then maybe we should bet on Da Niu instead?"
As the crowd engaged in lively discussion, Jiang Rou eagerly asked Song Qiao for his opinion again.
The reply he received was very simple.
"That one is called Da Niu, and that one is the bulldog. Betting on it is a sure win!"
Saying that, Song Qiao was about to take his chips to place a bet.
His demeanor clearly indicated he was preparing to go all-in again with the 300 million capital!
Jiang Rou was slightly taken aback and quickly stepped forward to stop him, advising him cautiously.
"No, you can't just bet based on the name!"
"Why don't you take a closer look?"
"That Da Niu is specifically cultivated by Third Madam, it must be very powerful!"
A hint of disdain appeared on Song Qiao's face, and he said impatiently.
"The last one was also said to be specifically cultivated by her, and it still lost?"
Jiang Rou nodded blankly, but she still felt uneasy.
"That's true, but it's better to be cautious. Take another good look?"
Jiang Rou was truly afraid Song Qiao would lose, because on the surface, he was paying out of his own pocket.
But don't forget, she was the one who owed the debt, and he was helping her collect it!
If he lost badly, her life would be even more miserable from then on.
Song Qiao indicated that she was overthinking things.
He began to explain to her carefully.
"I've already looked. That bulldog has an astonishing bite force, and its temperament is extremely ferocious!"
"Most importantly, it carries a strong scent of blood, and it's not its own."
"Not its own? Could it be!" Jiang Rou's pupils widened instantly, looking at Song Qiao with horror.
Song Qiao nodded and calmly replied, "It's human!"
"I'm not saying it eats people. Based on my speculation, it should be from its owner."
"The owner of this dog is not a good person, and the breed they cultivate is even more brutal!"
"As for the one opposite, Da Niu, it has much less fierceness."
"Even though they boast that it's specially cultivated by Third Madam."
"Do you really think Third Madam has that much energy to cultivate those dogs every day?"
"At most, she just feeds them something from time to time."
"On the other hand, that bulldog has truly seen the world!"
Listening to Song Qiao's explanation, Jiang Rou sniffed hard.
But she still couldn't detect any bloody smell from the bulldog.
She looked at Song Qiao in surprise, "You can smell that?"
Song Qiao didn't explain these things and calmly went to place his bet.
"This time it's still 300 million, betting on number two, the bulldog!"
