Chapter 370: Chapter 189: Raising the Stakes (Chapter Order Adjusted)
By the time Yan Fei and Lu Pingping met again, it was already 6 PM. At least three hours had passed since the time Lu Pingping had planned to arrive in Monte Carlo, and Yan Fei had thus wasted three precious hours on the road. However, there was nothing they could do about it. This wasn’t domestic territory; it was someone else’s home turf, and those others could easily mess with them if they wanted to.
But once everyone met up, Lu Pingping, worried that Yan Fei might get distracted, didn’t say much about it. They just briefly exchanged information before heading to dine at the Casino VIP Restaurant arranged by the Monte Carlo Casino. After dinner, they returned to the VIP Room specially prepared for Yan Fei to rest. To ensure Yan Fei could face Jin Xiaoming in the best possible condition, everyone voluntarily left the VIP Room, allowing Yan Fei to rest properly in the room.
When Yan Fei had entered the VIP Room, he had noticed that the third room next to his was the VIP Room for South Korea’s Taekwondo World Promotion League. In other words, his room was right next to the Korean quarters, with only three walls separating them. A thought struck Yan Fei, and he pressed his ear against the wall, activating his terrifyingly acute hearing to eavesdrop on the intelligence inside the Korean VIP Room.
Originally, Yan Fei had only tried to listen in on a whim, not really expecting to hear anything substantial. However, as he focused, he was surprised to actually hear the voices inside the Korean VIP Room. The Mysterious Power had repeatedly manifested during the Drone Upgrades, enhancing Yan Fei’s physical attributes, including his hearing. After several upgrades, his hearing had become incredibly acute, far surpassing even that of experts at the Innate Peak. Now, he could hear through three walls, whereas others couldn’t possibly overhear his voice through the same barrier.
Clear voices from the South Korean VIP Room entered Yan Fei’s ears. One person was proudly saying in Korean, “Jin Xiaoming, thanks to our meticulous planning, that Yan Fei has finally taken the bait. Whether our World Taekwondo Promotion Alliance can dominate and advance globally depends on you now. How about it, are you confident?”
Even though the man was speaking Korean, Yan Fei, with the help of the Auxiliary Brain, could translate synchronously and understood the meaning of the man’s words perfectly.

In the Korean room, a calm baritone responded, “Chairman Han, rest assured! I’ve studied Yan Fei’s combat videos and found that his strength is extremely weak. Moreover, he hasn’t been through any life-or-death battles. He’s just a greenhouse flower with no killing power. He must have agreed to the showdown thinking I practice the kind of Taekwondo meant for show. It will only take me a second to instant kill him.”
It turned out that the Chairman Han was Han Junxi, who said, “We have great confidence in your strength. However, during the showdown, you should not instant kill Yan Fei as soon as you enter the ring; rather, prolong the fight a bit and control the rhythm. You must display all the exquisite moves of Taekwondo in the ring, showing the world our prowess. Only after completing our display of Taekwondo should you finish off Yan Fei and avenge the arrow he once shot at us.”
Jin Xiaoming laughed, “This is the first time I’ve encountered such a request, knowing that I’ve always instant killed my enemies in the shortest time possible. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to showcase Taekwondo before I finish him off.”
Han Junxi said, “For this match, don’t take it too lightly. We’ve invested so much effort not just to simply defeat Chinese Kung Fu and redeem our nation’s Taekwondo, but also to make a fortune from this opportunity.”
Jin Xiaoming said confidently, “This time, we’ve bet 3 billion US Dollars against Yan Fei. As soon as I stand in the ring with him, I’m going to win easily and make that 3 billion USD.”
Han Junxi said dismissively, “A mere 3 billion USD doesn’t even catch my attention; I want more. When you’re in the ring, you need to provoke Yan Fei in front of the audience subtly, guiding him to increase the stakes without revealing your intentions. And then, in full view of everyone, defeat him to win even more benefits.”
Jin Xiaoming said coldly, “I’ll remember what you’ve said, but there’s one thing I disagree with. In the ring, I’m not going to defeat Yan Fei, but kill him. The destiny of my opponents is sealed from the moment they step into the ring and stand in front of me.”
Han Junxi said with satisfaction, “Good, it seems you’re thinking further ahead than I am. Killing Yan Fei here is a good opportunity since it’s a fair match both sides signed off on, which means the Chinese won’t be able to do anything to us. But they’ll surely try to deal with us in the shadows. However, that’s not our concern; if China looks for someone to blame, they’ll go after President Choi Kimyin of the World Taekwondo Promotion Alliance. With her shielding us, we have nothing to worry about.”
Jin Xiaoming said, “Chairman Han, you’ve just offended Miss Choi Kimyin, and you plan to put this huge blame squarely on her shoulders; aren’t you afraid she’ll retaliate?”
Han Junxi said with contempt, “That Choi Kimyin is nothing but a woman limited by convention, long-haired and short-sighted. She hasn’t weathered much and has no idea about the dangers of the world. Hence, she follows the rules, insisting on the straight path. If our country’s leaders all followed the lady’s playbook, Korea would have been wiped out by our northern enemies long ago, instead of developing into the world power it is today.”
