Chapter 994 [994] A False Alarm
No matter how unwilling the man was, he did lose this game.
According to the rules, when the game time is over, the winner takes all, even if he only wins one dollar.
With the help of the last round, Ye Feng not only won back his capital, but also won 200,000 chips.
Many people were speechless. This guy must be addicted to his bad luck.
In the previous round, he also won 1.6 million at the last minute and barely made it into the top 64.
This round was also won at the last minute.
This luck is really not that good.
I'm afraid only Hong Jiajun knows how strong Ye Feng is.
If he really came to participate in the competition today, he might not be able to keep his position as the gambling king.
Ye Feng looked up, glanced at him, smiled and nodded.
This time, Hong Jiajun helped him. If he hadn't provoked the man, he might have stopped here.
Although he was not that concerned about the game, he still accepted the favor.
After this round of screening, only 32 contestants were left, and the others withdrew one after another.
The next match from 21 to the top will be a blackjack match, also between two players.
This time the opponent is not chosen freely, but decided by drawing lots.
Everyone secretly prayed that they would draw Ye Feng. After all, luck played a big role in his advancement in the first two games. He was obviously a lucky weakling.
Just as the drawing of lots was proceeding in an orderly manner, a quarrel suddenly broke out outside.
"I've already finished the competition. Why won't you let me leave? You're imprisoning me. If you stop me again, I'll call the Public Security Bureau..."
Judging from the sound, it was Ye Feng's opponent in the previous round, who seemed to have had a conflict with the staff.
All the contestants looked at each other in surprise and confusion.
"What's going on? From what I hear, we can't leave until the race is over? What kind of rule is this?"
"I haven't heard of it. I've participated in several gambling king competitions, and there has never been such a rule."
"Yes, they have finished the competition. Why can't they leave? Why do you restrict their personal freedom?"
"Are you here to compete, or to be a prisoner?"
The discussion at the scene became louder and louder, and it was obvious that everyone was angry at the organizer's behavior.
Hong Xiaotian could no longer sit still, and hurriedly stood up and walked to the stage, "Everyone, please be patient. It should be that the staff did not communicate well."
"Everyone continue to play and don't be affected by anything."
"..."
"Mr. Hong, we believe in you and the fairness of the competition. We hope you won't let us down."
"Yes, the Gambling King Competition has been going on for so many years, and there has never been such a problem. I hope you can give us a satisfactory explanation."
"Does the competition restrict personal freedom? If so, it is a shame for the gambling king competition."
"We must not allow this to happen, or we will all withdraw from the competition."
"That's right, collective withdrawal..."
Everyone's face was filled with indignation, and they all clamored to withdraw from the competition.
Hong Xiaotian wiped the sweat from his forehead hastily and glanced at Ye Feng secretly, "Don't worry, the competition will absolutely guarantee fairness and justice, and will never restrict anyone's freedom."
"I will check it out right away and give you a satisfactory answer."
After saying that, he walked out quickly.
Xiao Changqing hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed.
The game was interrupted and everyone was waiting for Hong Xiaotian's reply.
Ye Feng took the opportunity to secretly observe the scene. Most people were discussing the matter indignantly. However, a man in a mask and a black tuxedo in the corner did not communicate with anyone. He looked around nonchalantly, as if he was looking for an escape route.
Ye Feng immediately became suspicious and wondered whether he should go over and test it out.
At this moment, the man's eyes happened to sweep over and meet his gaze. He was a little stunned at first, but then he showed a friendly smile and nodded.
Ye Feng had to temporarily suppress the urge to go over and test him and nodded to him.
He can't act rashly until he is 100% sure.
This would not only alert the enemy, but also disrupt the order of the competition and put the Hong and Xiao families into crisis.
Soon, Hong Xiaotian and Xiao Changqing came back again, followed by the man who had played against Ye Feng in the previous round.
"Hahaha, this is all a misunderstanding. Let this gentleman come and explain it to everyone in person." Hong Xiaotian first smiled heartily at everyone, then turned and nodded to the man.
The man immediately stepped forward and smiled apologetically at everyone, "I'm sorry to trouble you all, it's all just a misunderstanding."
"I was in a bad mood because I lost the game, and there was a small misunderstanding between me and the service staff."
"Please don't delay the game because of me, otherwise, I will be guilty of a great sin."
Everyone felt relieved after hearing his explanation.
If it's just a misunderstanding, then it's nothing.
If the competition really restricts personal freedom, then they will really have to withdraw from the competition.
Hong Xiaotian once again bowed to the crowd and said, "In any case, this is due to our lack of consideration on the part of the organizers. I hope everyone will bear with us."
"The game is going on now, don't let this affect your mood."
After saying that, he glanced at Ye Feng as if nothing had happened.
Ye Feng understood what he meant, that everything was under control.
Although I don't know what means Hong Xiaotian and the others used to make the man shut up, this time it was really thanks to him and Xiao Changqing, otherwise it might have alerted the enemy and caused the plan to fail.
After this false alarm, the game continued.
Starting from this competition, participants can use their own funds with no upper limit.
The atmosphere on the field was many times more intense than the previous two games, with bets often amounting to tens of millions.
In the end, Ye Feng won this round again without any danger and successfully advanced to the top 16.
In this round, he won more than 30 million chips, and the total number of chips in his hand has reached more than 40 million.
Now no one dared to look down on him anymore.
Once or twice it could be said to be good luck, but now they have entered the top 16. Anyone who says he relied on luck is a fool.
None of those who make it to the top 16 are weak.
……
After successfully entering the top sixteen, Ye Feng pretended to glance at the man in a tuxedo unintentionally. He was indeed among the top sixteen. It seemed that he was quite strong.
However, he didn't dare to observe for too long. The thief king Acan was a very alert person. Once he found that the situation was not good, he would probably take the opportunity to escape.
Of course, since he has already locked on to the suspect, he is not afraid of the other party escaping.
Under his tight net, if the other party can still escape from under his nose, he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill himself.
In the next two games of the round of 16 and the round of 8, Ye Feng continued his efforts and won them all.
In the round of 16, he won nearly 60 million chips, and the chips in his hand directly exceeded 100 million.
In the quarter-finals, the stakes doubled again, exceeding 200 million.
At this time, there were only four contestants left in the entire hall.
In addition to Ye Feng and Hong Jiajun, there was also a contestant from an island country and the man in a tuxedo.
