Episode 26, Chapter 22: The Golden Showdown, the Destiny of the World!(1/2)
Sauron looked at Tang Xiaoyan with his deep eyes, looked at Tang Xiaoyan's outstretched right hand, and slowly raised his head...
"Tang Xiaoyan, many people think that I am an unreasonable person, but even if my mind is ridiculous, I would never have imagined that I would meet you on such an occasion today." Sauron stretched out his hand to shake hands with Tang Xiaoyan, and slowly
Said slowly...
"You left a very deep impression on me when I saw you in the desert of Azhou before. At that time, I thought, maybe in fifteen or twenty years you will challenge my position, but I
I really didn't expect that you would reach this point in just over a year." Soran sighed.
"You are the miracle of this world, Tang Xiaoyan. The last time you were in the Azhou Desert seems like yesterday. At that time, I, Rulun, could not imagine that you are so powerful today." Sauron sighed:
"If I could have known that you had achieved what you have today, maybe I should have killed you at all costs."
Tang Xiaoyan did not answer. In fact, when he was in the Azhou Desert, Sauron had already tried desperately to kill Tang Xiaoyan, but he failed.
"But when the world is full of unknowns, the world is more exciting, isn't it?" Sauron said: "How lonely would I be without you at this time?"
Facing Sauron's condescending praise full of superiority, Tang Xiaoyan frowned and said calmly: "Don't talk to me in this tone. No matter what your status is, you are not worthy enough to say such things."
.”
Tang Xiaoyan's tone was very arrogant and disdainful, as if he was not the Emperor of World Machine War before him, but still an ant.
Sauron was slightly stunned and said: "Your Excellency, I know very well why you have this attitude, because of your special status. But please forgive me for not being able to admit this..."
"Then don't talk..." Tang Xiaoyan focused his eyes and said coldly: "Come quietly, fight quietly, and finally leave quietly. Whether you leave with victory or with death!"
The muscles on the aloof and invincible Sauron's face twitched, and his face became cold, and he said coldly: "Okay! I'll make it clear to you, Your Excellency, I will not attack you tonight because of your special status.
Show no mercy! I will kill you without hesitation..."
"What you said seems very redundant." Tang Xiaoyan said coldly.
Tang Xiaoyan nodded. Then he and Solan walked towards the microphone and made a public speech in front of countless cameras.
The visitor was a guest, so Sauron spoke first.
"Tonight is a pure martial arts duel. I will not lead any soldiers. Your Excellency Tang Xiaoyan and I will drive the exact same mecha and engage in a pure martial arts duel. We don't use lasers. We don't use missiles. We don't use lasers. We just
Fight decisively with your own weapons."
"In the end. In the duel, life or death matters!"
Then, Sauron took out a certificate of life and death from his arms. Then he bit his finger and pressed his fingerprints on the certificate of life and death. Then, he looked at Tang Xiaoyan.
He indeed had ulterior motives. When he declared the battle before, he only said who would lose and who would withdraw from the duel. He did not mention the matter of life and death. Now, when he landed in Yajing City, he openly took out the
The situation of life and death, and then publicly pressing bloody finger prints, gave Tang Xiaoyan no room to retreat, because at this time, the arrow was already on the string and he had no choice but to take action.
To be honest, he felt no pressure to kill Tang Xiaoyan, because as long as he killed Tang Xiaoyan, he would have made an immortal contribution in front of the Sith Empire. But Tang Xiaoyan still felt a certain amount of pressure to kill him, because
He is Nini Akar's father, and Nini Akar has chosen to side with Tang Xiaoyan.
"It's your turn, Your Excellency Tang Xiaoyan!" Sauron looked at Tang Xiaoyan and said with a smile.
Tang Xiaoyan took the life and death certificate. The content was very simple. It was the eight words "life or death on the duel field." Then he wrote it out in all the major languages of the world, and Sauron's bright red fingerprints.
Tang Xiaoyan frowned slightly. Indeed, not signing at this time would be considered a retreat, especially in front of people all over the world.
But Tang Xiaoyan frowned slightly after taking the certificate of life and death, and then directly tore it off.
Sauron was shocked, and people all over the world were also shocked. What did Tang Xiaoyan mean?
"It's a matter of life and death, but you still have to sign something like this, how disgusting." Tang Xiaoyan said coldly: "Is this an underground fighting arena? The most expensive bet is not only money, but also the lives of the duelists. Tonight
In a duel, the bet is the lives of countless people. The lives of these people are much more valuable than yours, so even if your life is dead, it is not qualified to be used as a bargaining chip."
"Tonight, whoever loses will die! The life and death form, what a disgusting and childish thing." Tang Xiaoyan said coldly, and then he threw the torn life and death form violently.
"Okay..." All the reporters present suddenly cheered.
Moreover, people all over the world in front of the TV also cheered violently.
Sauron looked at Tang Xiaoyan with a cold face and said: "I hope your fighting tonight is as good as your acting skills at this time, Tang Xiaoyan Best Actor!"
Under Tang Xiaoyan's irritation, Sauron also directly tore his face.
Tang Xiaoyan ignored him and got into a car. Solan got into another car and the motorcade headed towards the Yajing Palace.
The historic meeting between Tang Xiaoyan and Sauron was indeed beyond the expectations of many people. Originally, everyone thought that the two would show sympathy for each other, but unexpectedly the smell of gunpowder was so strong.
Later, a critic expressed what many people felt.
"Our General Tang Xiaoyan is the least good at acting. He likes to speak with swords and fighting. Today he has no choice but to come to the airport to greet Sauron, because the entire Eastern Alliance can't find anyone more suitable.
After welcoming Sauron, he also asked us, Tang Xiaoyan, to show sympathy for each other. That would be too difficult for our General Tang Xiaoyan, who can't act at all."
At this time, there are still three and a half hours before the duel.
This is an economic society, and any game will bring gambling. In previous history, basketball games, football games, Olympic medal lists, and even the victory of each country will bring gambling. There will be odds.
Therefore, for the decisive battle between Tang Xiaoyan and Sauron tonight, the world's largest gambling company naturally opened a bet and gave odds.
If you buy Tang Xiaoyan to win, the odds are 1.7:1.
If you buy Sauron to win, the odds are 1.6:1.
If the two draw, the odds are 5:1.
For some unknown reason, this gaming company was even more optimistic that Sauron would win. After the bet was announced, people all over the world placed their bets.
But only half an hour later, the gaming company had to cancel the bet. Because the people's bets were almost one-sided, 99.99% of people bought Tang Xiaoyan to win, and the bets were all very large, so in just half an hour
Within hours, the bets placed by the people reached an astronomical figure.
Because people who place bets don’t care at all whether they can win money, they just feel that the bigger the bet they place, the more they can express their confidence and support for Tang Xiaoyan. Therefore, gambling companies that receive astronomical amounts of money can only choose
Close the gambling game, because once Tang Xiaoyan wins, no matter how big the gambling company is, it cannot afford to lose everything.
However, the gambling game was soon able to continue. Because an astronomical amount of money came in, and Sauron's side won. However, it was discovered that this was the currency of the Sith Empire. The betting company refused to accept it because the currency of the Sith Empire
In most places around the world, it cannot be circulated.
But then, the Sith Empire expressed its willingness to use gold and other rare metals as bets.
At the beginning, the Sith Empire bet 500 tons of gold.
After receiving this information, people around the world continued to place bets wildly. In just ten minutes, the amount of money bet doubled than before. Suddenly, the gambling companies were frightened.
Immediately afterwards, the Sith Empire once again suppressed 1,000 tons of gold. It also stated that once it won the entire bet, it would accept gold instead of the currency of the countries organized by the World Alliance.
Five minutes later, the Central Bank of the Eastern Conference directly placed a bet on 1,500 tons of gold, which was already one-eighth of the entire Eastern Conference's gold reserves.
Two minutes later, the Sith Empire placed another bet, placing a direct bet of 3,000 tons of gold.
Immediately, the Eastern League followed suit and pressed for 3,000 tons of gold. It can be said that the Eastern League went crazy, with a total of 4,500 tons of gold being pressed, which was already more than one-third of the entire Eastern League's gold reserves.
But then, the Sith Empire once again suppressed 5,000 tons of gold.
Immediately, the Eastern Alliance also followed suit and suppressed 5,000 tons of gold. The entire Eastern Alliance's gold reserves were approximately 12,000 tons, and at this time only 2,500 tons were left.
It can be said that the Eastern Alliance is completely desperate. This is another decisive battleground. In order to show its support and confidence in Tang Xiaoyan, the Eastern Alliance has devoted everything it has and has no retreat.
But soon, the Sith Empire directly suppressed 8,000 tons of gold, and a total of 17,500 tons of gold was suppressed. In fact, the Sith Federation, the predecessor of the Sith Empire, had a total gold reserve of about 15,000 tons. The Sith Empire suppressed
17,500 tons of gold was already used up.
Immediately afterwards, the Yamei Kingdom bet on Sauron and suppressed 5,000 tons of gold.
Suddenly, the Sith Empire surpassed the Eastern Alliance's bargaining chip by 13,000 tons of gold. At this time, the Eastern Alliance's gold reserves only had 2,500 tons left, and they could not get out 13,000 tons of gold even if they vomited blood.
But immediately, the Eastern Alliance completely suppressed the remaining 2,500 tons of gold reserves, and then the Eastern Alliance did not have one or two gold reserves left.
Just when everyone thought that this alternative gold showdown with the Eastern Alliance was going to be a glorious defeat, the president of the Ross Empire announced that they would bet 5,535 tons of gold to win against Tang Xiaoyan, and they spent everything they had.
Then, the northern countries bet 7,500 tons of gold and defeated Tang Xiaoyan to win.
Immediately afterwards, the Central Green Alliance bet 1,200 tons, the Asian Alliance bet 850 tons, the Southern California bet 2,300 tons, the Austrian Federation bet 1,100 tons, and the Asian American Democratic Republic-in-Exile government bet 19.35 tons of gold.
In short, almost every country in the World Alliance made a bet and spent all its gold reserves.
However, this was just the beginning. What followed was a crazy frenzy of personal gold betting. Big bosses from all over the world placed bets. Several tons of gold were underground. Then dozens of kilograms of gold were underground, and then several kilograms.
A few kilograms underground, and finally a few grams underground.
As soon as the final results came out, the bookmaker almost wet his pants with fear.
The World Alliance Organization's final gold bargaining chip exceeds the Sith Empire's total by 20,000 tons.
If Tang Xiaoyan wins, the gold from the Sith Empire won't be enough to lose, and the gambling company won't be able to compensate even if he sells himself dozens of times.
The Eastern Alliance shouted to the Sith Empire that either the Sith would provide enough gold, admit defeat in this alternative gold decisive battle, or provide something equivalent to the value of 20,000 tons of gold.
There is no doubt that this is a huge gamble, and the Sith Empire has to speak out.
The empire spokesperson said that first of all, he acknowledged the existence of this bet and would resolutely fulfill the entire bet obligations. Although Admiral Sauron will never lose, assuming that Sauron loses, the Sith Empire will transport all the gold in the chips to Asia.
Beijing City, for the Eastern Conference to allocate all gold bets.
Therefore, the World Alliance Organization also spoke, acknowledging the legality of this bet. The World Alliance Organization also firmly believed that General Tang Xiaoyan would never lose, but assuming that General Tang Xiaoyan lost, the World Alliance Organization would definitely use more than 40,000 chips on
Tons of gold, all shipped to the Sith Empire.
However, the Sith Empire did not have enough gold chips, so the two sides began negotiations.
