My Ares Son-in-Law

In Zhao Chunhua's impression, Jiang Yixiu has always been a cold and self-respecting woman with a lofty gaze. How could she easily look at a man with such affectionate and admiring eyes?

But at this moment, the scene before her made her believe it. Jiang Yixue was looking at Xiao Chen with a sweet smile, and the affection pouring out from her eyebrows was so real and undisguised.

A feeling of resentment burned like a flame in Zhao Chunhua's heart. From childhood to adulthood, she had never been willing to lose to Jiang Yixue in any aspect. This time, she secretly hoped that Zhang Yu could beat Xiao Chen in the next competition.

In that way, it would be as if the feeling of attraction in her heart could be completely erased, making her firmly believe that Xiao Chen was nothing special.

Moreover, if Zhang Yu wins, it will be like a huge rock pressing down on Jiang Yixiu's head, causing her to lose the contest again. Thinking of this, Zhao Chunhua's clenched palms were slightly sweaty.

At the edge of the spacious and tense live CS competition venue, the sand and stones on the ground were gently lifted by the occasional breeze.

Xiao Chen, wearing a professional tactical vest, looked calmly at Zhao Chunhua, who was wearing a white sports suit, and said in a low but clear voice: "Let's get started, Miss Zhao."

After saying that, he just glanced at Zhao Chunhua lightly, his eyes were deep and calm, then he turned around and walked towards the competition venue with steady steps.

At this moment, Xiao Chen had already changed into professional real-life CS equipment. The black helmet and goggles glowed faintly under the light, and the various equipment mounted on the tactical vest were neatly arranged in order, so he didn't need to waste time preparing.

Seeing this, Zhao Chunhua immediately put on a professional smile, took two quick steps, and said loudly, "Wait, Mr. Xiao. There is a rule for competitions here, and that is to add a betting pool for everyone to place bets. Regardless of whether anyone places a bet in the end, this rule must be followed."

There was an unquestionable look in her eyes, as if declaring that all the rules here were made by her.

Xiao Chen stopped, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealed a slightly playful smile, and responded: "Is that so? Okay, I'm just a nobody, I'm really curious about what odds you will give me."

He casually put his hands in the pockets of his tactical vest, looking calm, not caring at all about the rules of the bet he was about to face.

After hearing this, Zhao Chunhua nodded slightly, and then quickly explained a few words to the staff standing next to him.

The scene of the competition venue that was originally played in real time on the big screen suddenly changed. It was no longer the field full of camouflage and bunkers, but was replaced by a detailed introduction of the players from the red and blue teams.

On the screen, the team members are posing in various heroic postures, and each person's basic information is scrolling below.

As the introduction screen progressed, the screen finally froze on the captains of both teams.

On one side is Xiao Chen. Although he is wearing professional equipment, his face exudes a mysterious temperament in the picture. On the other side is Zhang Yu, who is wearing a bright blue team uniform and looks confident and flamboyant.

Xiao Chen originally thought that the screen would only show simple information about himself and Zhang Yu, such as their names, teams, etc. However, when he looked up at the big screen, he couldn't help but laugh softly. The content displayed on it was much more detailed than he had imagined.

Especially under Zhang Yu's photo, the densely packed honors were dazzling. There were piles of trophy pictures, with titles such as "National Real CS City League Champion" and "Asian Invitational Champion" written on them, and the honor of his retirement as a special forces soldier was specially marked next to them.

This honor is like adding a layer of gold to his resume, making it particularly dazzling in this live CS circle.

Although there was some information under Xiao Chen's photo, it was just the words "mysterious master" and nothing else. He had no detailed experience in the competition, no past achievements, and only appeared in front of everyone with such a vague title.

Looking at the bottom of the screen, the odds of the teams represented by the captains of both teams were displayed. The odds for Zhang Yu's team were 1:1.1, while the odds for Xiao Chen's team were as high as 1:4. Obviously, the dealer, who made the betting, was more optimistic that Zhang Yu could win the game.

After all, the honors Zhang Yu has won are absolutely top-notch in the domestic live CS arena, and are a height that many players dream of but cannot reach.

In contrast, Xiao Chen’s information only described him as a “mysterious master” with no other introduction. The key point was that this name was too unfamiliar to most of the people present.

Seeing this comparison, no one would think that Xiao Chen has the ability to defeat Zhang Yu in this game.

In the eyes of everyone, this was a battle between a champion and a nobody without any suspense. It seemed obvious who would win in the end.

Although this was Jiang Yixue's territory, and it was clearly biased towards her, the betting situation for Xiao Chen was not satisfactory. On the surface, from time to time, some people would symbolically bet on Xiao Chen.

But in fact, most of these people just wanted to save some face for Jiang Yixue. When they were betting, their movements seemed a little awkward, and their eyes revealed a kind of helplessness and perfunctory.

The number of bets is pitifully small, some are only a few hundred, and the most is no more than ten or twenty thousand yuan. In this gambling game filled with big stakes, it is simply a drop in the ocean and cannot cause any waves at all.

However, the situation on Zhang Yu's side was completely different. As a well-known master in the martial arts circle, Zhang Yu was like a shining star, attracting almost everyone's attention.

In this gambling game, 99% of the people placed all their chips on him without hesitation. When they placed their bets, their eyes were full of confidence and determination, as if they had already predicted the outcome.

Moreover, these people bet a lot on Zhang Yu to win. Those generous gamblers bet hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. The piles of chips in front of them flashed an attractive light, which made people tremble with fear.

The entire betting area surrounding Zhang Yu was bustling with activity, as people were excitedly discussing the huge fortune that was about to come their way.

There are also some relatively cautious people who adopt the strategy of betting on both sides to try to balance the risks. However, judging from the amount of money bet, the difference is huge.

On Xiao Chen's side, they placed the bet just for the sake of showing their appreciation, casually taking out around ten thousand yuan, as if they were just joining in the fun.

On Zhang Yu's side, they were not stingy in betting huge sums of money, hundreds of thousands or even millions. (End of this chapter)
