Top-Tier Superpower Student

When he went back, damn it, his clothes had mysteriously vanished.

Huang Batian, butt naked, looked for his clothes, the embarrassment was indescribable.

"Who stole my clothes, come out, hurry up, have you no manners, stealing someone's clothes, ah...!"

He yelled in anger, but the only response he received was the relentless laughter of others.

He was even more embarrassed and shouted to his subordinates beside him, "Speak up, who stole my clothes, where are my clothes!"

They all shook their heads; the scene was too chaotic just now, and they were all focused on Huang Batian, not noticing who might have taken the clothes.

"Damn it, a bunch of useless fools."

Huang Batian cursed loudly and then approached a bodyguard with a similar build to his.

"You'll do."

Without so much as an explanation, he stripped the clothes off the bodyguard and put them on himself.

The bodyguard nearly cried, a lament welling up in his heart!

The way Huang Batian commandeered the clothes was utterly ridiculous, prompting another round of hearty laughter from everyone.

This time, Huang Batian's face might as well have been lost in the Pacific Ocean.

He intended to use the power of the King Kong Bear to seize the title of King of Fighting Beasts and gradually usurp control of Li Linglong's Beast Fighting Arena. In fact, he had succeeded.

Who could have expected that Lin Tian would come out of nowhere, ruining all his plans, and making him run naked, turning himself into a huge joke.

His eyes were cold as he stared at Lin Tian in the distance, emitting a murderous intent.

If glares could kill, Lin Tian would likely have been minced meat by now.

"Let's go!"

He bellowed.

With his dignity gone, staying here would only make him a laughingstock; leaving sooner meant peace of mind sooner.

After he left, Li Linglong slowly approached Lin Tian and said with a smile, "Thank you, Lin Tian."

Since she had already called out Lin Tian's name, he knew that Li Linglong must have had someone investigate him.

"No need to thank me," Lin Tian replied nonchalantly.

Following that, Feiyan brought over a gold card.

"Handsome Lin, this is the money you won. After deducting some operational costs, you've earned sixteen billion this time, plus the initial capital of 270,000, making a total of eighteen billion and seven hundred million in this card now."

Wang Yuan, hearing that the card contained a total of eighteen billion and seven hundred million, was overjoyed, grabbing the bank card first and saying thank you over and over again.

Afterward, Sweetie was crowned as the King of Fighting Beasts, a crown placed upon Sweetie's head.

But Sweetie showed no interest in the crown, and to Sweetie, it was quite heavy; hence, Lin Tian gave it to Feiyan, who had taken great care of Lin Tian and his group—a tip in the form of a crown.

Lin Tian had done Li Linglong a great favor, so Li Linglong held a banquet to reward Lin Tian and Wang Yuan.

Everyone was polite at the beginning of the meal, except for Sweetie.

Although Sweetie wasn't interested in the crown, its passion for eating was undeniable, a true glutton.

Abalone and lobster were its favorites, while spicy strips and barbecued skewers were passable—overall, it ate almost anything.

But Sweetie, after all, was a very well-behaved and polite little baby. It wouldn't reach out its little paws to grab. Whenever it wanted to eat something, it would bark at it, and then a waiter would come over and place the food in its bowl.

It wasn't long before Sweetie was full. It wiped its greasy mouth with its little paws, hugged a glass of red wine, and got down from the table to rest.

Li Linglong began to discuss the main topic.

"Master Lin, you are a prominent figure in Wu'an City, and Tianyi Pharma under your flag has assets over a hundred billion, ranking third in the world. For what purpose have you come to Cang Hai City?" she asked.

After finishing, Li Linglong paused, feeling that her tone might have been a bit inappropriate, somewhat interrogative towards Lin Tian.

She quickly added, "In Cang Hai City, I still have some influence. If you need my assistance, I will do my utmost to help."

Whether in terms of power or wealth, Lin Tian was stronger than Li Linglong, so she had to be extremely cautious with her words.

Lin Tian spoke honestly, "My Wu'an City is fortified with many bunkers for defense. It's now as secure as iron, but it has cost me a lot of money. I still owe the bank several billion. I am here to make some money and repay my loans."

Li Linglong nodded and continued, "This time, you've made more than 180 billion. With this, your loans should be repaid, right?"

When Wu'an City was first completed, they owed the bank over two hundred billion. Now that some days have passed, Tianyi Pharma should have made quite a bit of money. And with Lin Tian's 180 billion, it should be nearly enough.

Ah, but wait, Lin Tian suddenly remembered, not all of the 180 billion was his. He still had to give Wang Yuan a thirty percent share.

Doing the math, that left only about 130 billion, and even with what Tianyi Pharma had made over the past few days, it probably wouldn't be enough to repay the loans.

"I'm still a bit short," Lin Tian admitted truthfully.

Li Linglong said, "My businesses consist of a Beast Fighting Arena and Gambling Stone City. The Beast Fighting Arena is already a very profitable venture, but compared to gambling on stones, jade bets bring in more money."

Lin Tian nodded in understanding of this point.

A single cut could lead to poverty, riches, or just enough for a burlap sack!

This was the most widely spread saying in the Gambling Stone industry.

Gambling Stone refers to jade that, when mined, is wrapped in a weathered layer that obscures its quality. It isn't until the stone is cut that one can judge the jade's value, hence the gamble involved.

There's a saying that even "gods struggle to discern the value of jade"; its mystery lies in the gamble.

Gambling with jade is like gambling with life; win, and you earn tenfold or a hundredfold, becoming wealthy overnight. Lose, and everything is gone, down to the last penny.

People often say the stock market is risky and investment requires caution, but when compared to Gambling Stone, the stock market seems like child's play.

However, for Lin Tian, none of this was a problem, for he had the "Subdue the Heavens" ability, granting him clairvoyance. Without cutting the raw stone, he could determine if there was jade inside.

He was in need of money now and couldn't miss out on such a lucrative opportunity.

One word.

Gamble!

He laughed, "Great! I've wanted to visit your Gambling Stone City for a while now, and I'm very confident that I can make a windfall there."

"Alright then, I will personally accompany you tomorrow," Li Linglong responded with a smile.

"No, no, no," Lin Tian quickly shook his head.

"Ling, you're so busy, I couldn't possibly ask you to accompany me. Feiyan accompanying me will do."

Li Linglong is an influential figure. Wherever she goes, she is surrounded by crowds. Having Li Linglong by his side would be a hassle, and Lin Tian didn't want to become a target.

Li Linglong wasn't insistent and said, "Alright then, Feiyan, take good care of Master Lin for me tomorrow."

"Don't worry, Ling. You can count on me," replied Feiyan.
