Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 672 - 498: The Club_4

Chen Gu spoke again, "You must feel that all of this is my doing, but have you ever thought about what would have happened to me if I had lost that match last night?"

Heibo was taken aback, his expression turning somewhat different.

"I know some people approached you to challenge me." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"You saw it as an opportunity—but have you ever considered what I did wrong?"

"Did I do anything to hurt you? Did I wrong your mother in any way? If I did, it seems there would be nothing wrong with you coming after me."

"Of course, even if I hadn't, your desire to climb over me to reach the top could also be seen as an unfortunate choice on the path of a minor figure striving for fame."

Chen Gu moved closer and spoke once more, "However, if that's the case, then you need to be aware that you must bear the consequences of your own choices! You failed, so your current situation... is what you deserve!"

The resentment in Heibo's eyes slowly disappeared, leaving only pain and self-blame.

Yes, he was right. Old Nine's current situation was all my own doing. He actually hadn't done anything wrong; he even helped me find my daughter.

Was he supposed to lose to me just because I challenged him?

If I hadn't been so eager for quick success and instead had a more stable attitude, I could have accumulated experience in the lower-tier leagues for a season. Then, I could have signed up for the giant beast combat leagues next year, making my way up step by step. Even if I had lost to Chen Gu in the league then, I wouldn't be in this desperate, dead-end situation.

It's all my fault!

Chen Gu waited for him to finish his self-reflection before saying, "I can lend you money to treat the Nine-Headed Serpent..."

Heibo looked at him sharply. "Why would you..."

Chen Gu waved his hand. "Just listen! You're very annoying. It was just like when I found your daughter for you; I had no ulterior motives, but instead of being grateful, you kept harassing me. It's detestable, you know? If you dare to interrupt me with even one more word of questioning, I'll turn and leave right now. The only reason I'm here is because your daughter begged me to come. Honestly, I have no fondness for you."

Heibo felt ashamed and quickly shut his mouth.

"I can lend you the money to treat the Nine-Headed Serpent, but you'll have to pay substantial interest, and the collateral will be the Nine-Headed Serpent itself."

Heibo was desperately eager to say he would pay any interest. Just as he was about to speak, his daughter covered his mouth. He then remembered Chen Gu's recent warning not to interrupt and quickly gave his daughter a grateful look.

"When I say 'sufficient interest,' I'm referring to the rates for private lending, which are much higher than bank loan rates. I'm not forcing you; it's up to you whether you agree or not."

"If you can't repay the money, the Nine-Headed Serpent will become mine. Don't try any clever tricks, thinking I can't tame a willful Energy Gathering Mechanical Species. I'm telling you, I can lock the Nine-Headed Serpent up with my Combat Rooster, and in no more than three days, it will obediently heed my commands."

"Once the treatment is complete, you have to train diligently from then until the start of next season. I will cover the training costs, but these will also be considered loans, with the same interest rates, and they must be repaid."

"That's all. Do you have any objections?"

Heibo pointed to his mouth, still not daring to speak freely. Chen Gu raised his hand. "Speak!"

"No objections! I completely agree. Whatever you say goes!"

Chen Gu turned and walked away. "Good. Someone will come to have you sign the agreement."

Heibo waved vigorously at Chen Gu's departing back. "Thank you, truly!"

Chen Gu didn't look back as he waved his hand. His mind became active. Maybe next season I can start my own club for fun?

If I want to join the giant beast combat leagues, I'll need to acquire a qualified club. Otherwise, I'd have to start again from the lower-tier leagues, which would be too slow. I can't wait that long.

Hmm, I should recruit Mao Yisheng. And who else? Right, perhaps my dear grandson has such dreams too. I'll ask him when I get back. Everyone in the family only cares about that girl, Qing Yu. See, only your grandfather cares about your dreams, dear grandson. You must be touched.

As for Heibo, you'll just obediently be a worker bee for this Great Actor, helping me earn money to make up for your wrongdoings.

Great Actor Chen's income has been exceedingly high lately, and he's become somewhat "elated," daring to consider business deals worth tens of billions.
