Gate of God Chapter 506

Chapter 506: I can betray everyone in the world but one person

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Wen Dabao paled. He loved the fact that he had just seen six stars perform. However, he had lost his entire vault of savings in the process.

His feelings right now were difficult to describe.

He had thought about it, but Ping Yang was right. The boss of the Seven Star Lane was no dumb.

The betting table had been set up just outside his place. If he didn’t know that there was 130,000 riding on all seven appearing, then he wasn’t fit to be the boss.

There was no way all seven would appear today.

The sound of the bianzhong died down. Then, the lady bowed to the crowd.

At that moment, everyone rose to give a standing ovation!

“Yes! When is Shishi going to perform for us again?”

“It is our good fortune to have been graced by the presence of six stars today!”

As they stood up to clap, they all looked at the seventh platform, smiling as they did so.

The seventh platform didn’t light up.

“Hahaha, all seven? What a joke!”

“Hahaha does he really think he is that lucky? Even if he is, he should bet on something more realistic!”

The crowd began to chuckle when they saw that the seventh platform had yet to light up.

Actually, the results had been decided the moment there was 130,000 riding on that bet. It wasn’t going to happen tonight.

The boss of the Seven Star Lane was not stupid.

That was what everyone thought. They looked at Fang Zhengzhi mockingly.

Their mockery turned into doubt and confusion. They saw that Fang Zhengzhi stood up and stared at the seventh platform.

The words were simple and said calmly. However, the entire Seven Star Lane was quiet.

All of the instruments stopped playing at that moment. No one made a single sound. Even the waitresses stopped what they were doing.

This had shocked everyone there and they stared at the figure standing in the middle of the room.

However, the silence was quickly broken. The crowd laughed at the top of their lungs. They couldn’t believe what they had just heard.

“Hahaha… what did I just hear? Did he say come down?!”

“Yes, come down! Who does he think he is?”

“This is the most hilarious thing that I have heard since coming here! Who points to the platform and demands a star come down? Hahaha… this is killing me!”

“Does he really think that the boss of the Seven Star Lane will listen to him?”

The crowd laughed hysterically. They ignored the fact that Ping Yang and Yan Xiu were beside Fang Zhengzhi. This was too ridiculous.

This was a joke. It was the biggest joke they had ever witnessed.

Ping Yang was completely shocked as well. She had no idea what Fang Zhengzhi was doing.

Yan Xiu was looking at Fang Zhengzhi as well. His icy expression gave away little, but one could see that he was deep in thought by the glow in his eyes.

Wen Dabao wanted to laugh as well but he suppressed it. He knew what the consequences would be if he laughed, so he did his best to suppress it.

This caused his face to turn completely red.

However, within moments, all the blood drained from his face. This was from the shock and horror as a result of what he saw.

Wen Dabao’s eyes were actually really small. But now…

They were about to pop out of their sockets.

His eyes were filled with disbelief. He simply couldn’t bring himself to believe that this was really happening.

The seventh platform lit up.

That was a pale yellow, almost golden light. It shone down from the ceiling and on the platform, staining it golden.

“It… lit, lit, lit up?!” Wen Dabao’s lips quivered as he looked at the golden light on the platform. He was utterly floored.

He was not alone. Most of the crowd couldn’t believe their eyes. When the golden light shone on that platform, the crowd fell silent…

The laughter died down almost instantly and was replaced by a pin-drop silence.

It was so sudden that most people couldn’t even react in time. Theo bodies were frozen and their minds were blank.

No one could figure out what was happening. No one understood why the seventh platform would light up either.

A figure landed on the platform.

This lady was in a golden dress, her silky smooth hair falling to her waist. She had a maroon guqin in her hands.

“It’s… it’s Luo… Luoqin!”

“Am… am I seeing things? Luoqin is performing?!”

No one in the crowd could believe their eyes. All of them were filled with surprise and shock when they saw Luoqin.

When Luoqin landed on her platform, this signifies that tonight was an extraordinary night.

This was something that had happened only once in the past one and a half years. Yet, this was happening tonight!

That was not the most important part. They simply couldn’t believe that the seven stars would appear tonight.

This was utterly unbelievable.

“No way… why would Luoqin listen to him?!”

“You have to be kidding me. Is the boss of the Seven Star Lane mad? Why would he let Luoqin come down? That’s 1.3 million silvers!”

“No way… I must be seeing things… I must be seeing things…”

No one could believe their eyes when they saw Luoqin now to them. They were so stunned that they forgot to scream and clap.

Calling this a miracle would be a gross understatement. There were no words to describe the shock they had just experienced.

The music from the Guqin filled the air.

It sounded calm and smooth, almost like a light breeze caressing the surface of a lake. Then, there was the feeling of a light drizzle causing little ripples on the surface.

Everyone calmed down when they heard this music. It soothed the raging ocean of emotions in the room.

A calming and relaxing sensation came over everyone.

Finally, the music stopped.

Everyone looked away from Luoqin. They turned to look at the seated figure in the middle of the room.

“How did he manage to guess that? Is he even human?”

“Is he a monster? Even monsters aren’t capable of being so accurate in their predictions. Do you think he is related to the Seven Star…”

“No way! How powerful is the Seven Star Lane? He is a peasant by birth! Why would he be related to them?”

“Most importantly, this is the capital! There are so many people going in and out every day. He couldn’t possibly have been hiding here for the past year!”

“Yes, the only reason why he managed to enter the city this time was because Chi Hou and Yan Xiu were escorting him. Furthermore, he had assistance from Ping Yang. Else, he would not have been able to enter! How could he possibly have hid here over the past year?”

The crowd had calmed down initially. However, when they looked at Fang Zhengzhi, a wave of emotions came over them and they began to become boisterous again.

They couldn’t understand…

Why would Luoqin appear right after Fang Zhengzhi said ‘come down!’?

The crowd looked at each other and nodded. They couldn’t think of any other possibilities

After all, Fang Zhengzhi’s background was an open secret.

He only had one friend, Yan Xiu. Even though Yan Xiu was powerful and influential, his family would never meddle in the affairs of the Seven Star Lane.

Without considering anything else…

Yan Qianli wouldn’t allow it!

That was impossible as well! Why would a princess open a place like this in the capital? Ping Yang didn’t need the money.

So how did Fang Zhengzhi manage to get it right everytime?

Even if Fang Zhengzhi knew the person who owned the Seven Star Lane, this night would cost the owner 1.3 million silvers!

What relationship was worth that much money?

Even the tax collected by a single province barely reached one million silvers. Even though business was brisk, 1.3 million was not a small sum.

This should never have happened!

The only possible reason was that this was a coincidence! But what was the boss thinking? Why would he not change the plan knowing that he would lose 1.3 million silvers?

Was he really that willful?

No one in the crowd could understand it. At that moment, a figure fell to his knees, tears of regret rolling down his cheeks.

Young Master Fang, I, Wen Dabao, am an idiot… I should never have doubted you. I should have followed your bets! Next time, I will bet on whatever you bet. Even if you bet on eight, nine, or even 10! I will never doubt you… since you won 300,000 silvers, please spare me some!”

Wen Dabao lunged for Fang Zhengzhi’s right leg as he bawled.

At that very moment, there was a voice next to him.

Then, he felt a wave of force crash into his face. He began tumbling backward.

He crashed into the seat of another member of the crowd.

Before that man could react, Wen Dabao was sent crashing into him. He fell to the ground and broke a tooth.

Just as he was about to swear, he saw a red figure stand up.

Both Wen Dabao and that member of the crowd shut up instantly.

Usually, they would have the right to speak. However, when faced with Ping Yang, all their rights went out the window.

“Not bad, this place is pretty generous!” Ping Yang chuckled and smiled at Fang Zhengzhi.

Anyone who had just won 450,000 silvers in one sitting would be smiling this radiantly, even if they didn’t need the silvers.

“I can let everyone but one person down!” Fang Zhengzhi smirked when he looked at Ping Yang. He knew what she was thinking.

Sometimes, a decision may look dumb or stupid. No one may understand your decision and everyone may think that you’ve lost your mind.

That was a necessary cause of action.

In his previous world, there was a saying. I would rather betray everyone in the world than to have one person betray me.

To Fang Zhengzhi, he could betray everyone in the world but one person. That person had rushed to the Northern Mountain Village from Western Liang in three days.

It was decided from the moment Yan Xiu bet on all seven stars appearing. He would not be disappointed tonight!
