“No…”

When Connor heard Jesse’s words, he rejected again.

A hint of confusion flashed across Jesse’s eyes, and he felt somewhat incredulous.

Jesse really couldn’t understand why Connor was still unwilling to bet when he had already set such conditions.

If it were anyone else, they would have already been unable to hold back and rushed to place their bets.

After all, who wouldn’t want a good thing that fell from the sky?

Thus, Jesse felt that there were only two possibilities for Connor not placing a bet.

The first was that Connor did not have any money on hand, but he was unwilling to borrow money from Jesse.

There was another possibility, which was that Connor did not care about this small amount of money at all.

“Connor, if you want to play, I can lend you money…”

Melissa hesitated for a moment and whispered to Connor.

Quinn turned to look at Melissa and said loudly, “Mr. McDonald is a rich big shot. It’s not because he doesn’t have money that he doesn’t want to play, it’s because he doesn’t care about this small amount of money at all!”

“Rich big shot?”

When everyone heard Quinn’s words, they could not help but be stunned for a moment. They frowned in disdain.

“This is the first time I’ve seen such a big shot…”

Jesse couldn’t help but mock softly, completely disregarding Quinn’s words.

Jesse felt that Connor couldn’t even afford a 20,000 dollars ticket. How could he be considered a rich big shot?

If Connor was really rich and Quinn was his girlfriend, why did Quinn borrow money from him instead of Connor?

However, Jesse saw that Quinn was very serious, so he did not continue to say anything.

For the next few matches, Quinn followed Jesse and the others in placing bets.

Barry’s accuracy was very high. He only lost once in six consecutive matches.

In less than two hours, Quinn had won nearly 50,000 dollars.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the boxing match had ended, Quinn would probably be able to earn money for her mother’s medical expenses in an afternoon.

But even so, Quinn was already very happy.

That was because the 50,000 dollars was equivalent to her annual salary, so she was very happy.

After leaving the underground boxing ring, they went straight to the town center of Lion City, where the martial arts tournament would be held tonight.

This was because those who could participate in the martial arts tournament were all big shots from various places.

Therefore, the real martial arts tournament was held at night, not during the day.

Also, if ordinary people wanted to enter and watch tonight’s martial arts tournament, they would naturally need to buy tickets.

The price of the ticket was extremely expensive for ordinary people, but it was nothing for Jesse, who had just won money.

Connor could go in directly. He only needed to call Thomas Morgan.

However, Jesse, Melissa, and the others insisted on buying tickets for Connor and Quinn. Connor had no choice but to follow them in.

After entering the town center, the first thing that came into view was a huge square.

The center of the square caved in, forming a narrow fighting arena.

Gamblers could sit on top of the arena and clearly see the life and death battle.

The fighting arena at the bottom of the square was surrounded by stone walls that were three meters tall. The stone walls were embossed with various huge animals. The entire fighting arena was like a huge shaft, making people feel like they were in the Colosseum of ancient Rome.

There were tables and chairs on the stairs around the fighting arena.

It was obvious that these were prepared for those big shots who came from afar, and the customers who paid to enter could only sit and watch from afar.

Connor followed Jesse, Melissa, and the others to their seats and sat down quietly, waiting for the start of the main event.

After waiting for about half an hour, a group of burly men in security uniforms walked in.

These muscular men were all tall and strong, and their faces were extremely fierce. Their bulging muscles were about to tear through their clothes.

On their waists, there were also weapons such as electric batons, which were obviously used to prevent accidents from happening.

After seeing these burly men come out, the entire fighting arena instantly fell silent.

“The big shots are about to appear…”

Jesse turned to look at Melissa and whispered to her.

When Melissa heard Jesse’s words, she became expectant.

The others around him also became excited.

Today was the day when all the big shots from all over the world gathered here.

Their goal was to divide their respective territories through the martial arts tournament.

Therefore, if anyone dared to cause trouble here, it was basically no different from courting death.

The audience members were discussing in low voices as they looked at the location of the fighting arena in anticipation.

A few minutes later, a group of people walked into the square.

“It’s here, it’s finally here…”

When everyone saw the people coming in from the front door of the fighting arena, they all got excited.

A large group of bosses walked into the front row of the fighting arena, chatting and laughing.

“That’s Jonathan Steele from San Diego…”

“That’s Yakov Chakin from San Francisco…”

“Oh my God, Jaxon Jacket from San Antonio is here too!”

“So many big shots are actually here?”

“Yeah, I didn’t expect to see so many big shots in the same day. This is really unbelievable…”

“It’s not easy for so many big shots to gather together!”

When everyone saw these big shots, they began to whisper among themselves, they were very excited.

At this moment, these people were a little envious, while some had fierce looks on their faces.

After all, these so-called big shots had done a lot of bad things over the years.

And those who were harmed by them could only be angry but did not dare to say anything.

After all, any one of these big shots could cover the sky with one hand. If anyone dared to offend them, it was basically no different from courting death.

“Why is there a woman there?”

At this moment, a beautiful woman in a white dress appeared in everyone’s sight.

When everyone present saw the beauty in the dress, they all revealed puzzled expressions because no one knew who this woman was!

“By the way, why hasn’t the big shot from Davenport appeared yet?”

At this moment, everyone realized that the big shots from San Diego, San Antonio and San Francisco were already gathered here. Only the big shots from Davenport had yet to appear.

However, the audience might not know that the two big shots of Davenport were frantically calling Connor.

After all, Connor was here as Thomas Morgan’s boss. He was the most important person in Davenport.

If Connor didn’t appear, Thomas wouldn’t dare to go on stage either!

“Have you contacted Mr. McDonald?”

Kyle Hayes asked Thomas anxiously.

“I called him just now, but no one picked up…”

Thomas replied helplessly.

“Same here…”

Kyle sighed helplessly, then looked at Thomas and asked, “What should we do now? We can’t keep everyone waiting here!”

Charles Ziegler hesitated for a moment after hearing Kyle’s words. Then, he said lightly, “Maybe we can head on in. Mr. McDonald might appear later!”
