Because of his inner struggle, Xiao Lian's shout turned out to be so loud it was heard by everyone. While most people began to laugh at him, there were few who immediately wanted to make the use of the situation and bully him into making the bet.
"Brother Xiao, I accept your bet!" There were three who shouted at the same time, and began to pester him.
"Brother Xiao, you can't go back on your word! I'll match your bet!" One rushed to him, climbing over a couple of rows of annoyed spectators.
"No! I agreed first! Don't meddle in!" Another one argued.
I the end there were six people who claimed they had the right to bet with Xiao Lian, and his own opinion apparently didn't matter. The whole place instantly turned into a chaotic marketplace.
Someone claiming the scrawny kid was capable of defeating him pissed off Xie Wuking. He noted he had to teach Xiao Lian a lesson next, but decided it would be only proper to take the free points first.
