Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

Chapter 200 Returning South for Spring Festival (Chapter 23)

Xiaomeng really didn't like looking at dogs; she just glanced at them briefly before going to study the hands of the people dancing in the dance floor.

What's so interesting about these people's hands? Well, some of them have gold watches on their wrists and big gemstone rings on their fingers, so it's not that they're anything special.

Xiao Tang listened attentively to the Indian man's explanation; the man seemed familiar with the place beforehand. Xiao Tang was satisfied with him and, following the man's advice, placed a few chips, casually slipping him a red bill as a tip.

"Oh, Maggie's here."

"Wow, so handsome!" Screams erupted from the crowd.

Xiaomeng and her group followed the gaze of the crowd. A handsome man pulling a dog on a leash walked out of the employee passage not far away. The handsome man was holding a beagle wearing a muzzle, and his forearms with bulging veins were very noticeable. Even so, the handsome man was still being pulled backward by the dog.

The moment this group appeared, the girls in the audience screamed.

This guy's image is on par with idol trainees; his makeup and styling are both on point. His hair looks like it's been carefully trimmed and styled, his eyebrows have been meticulously shaped, and he's probably had eyeshadow applied. He's a shrewd guy.

"Wow, so handsome, so aloof and arrogant." The girl's scream was quite penetrating.

"Maggie, Maggie, Maggie..." Why are there grown men screaming among them?

Andy Lau said to them, "The invincible general has arrived, the game is about to start, let's move to the spectator area."

"Maggie has a very high win rate. She's strong, agile, and a top fighter. That's why she's so popular. Many big shots want to buy her, but her dog farm hasn't been willing to let her go," the Indian guy said, rattling off the contestants with great familiarity.

Oh, that makes sense now. That explains why an ordinary man has such popularity. Turns out the audience was cheering for the dog.

Under the careful escort of hotel staff, they sat down in seats slightly to the left of the stage. The seats were cramped, consisting of only simple high bar stools, but the view was excellent, close to the railings, only two or three meters away from the cages on the stage. There were no seats left in front of them, only standing room.

Many fanatics crowded into the lower section, getting up close to the bloody scene on stage.

Xiaomeng looked around listlessly. There were people all around, and there wasn't even a table to put the milk tea on. She could only hold it in her hand.

The contestants were placed in the fighting cages, and the atmosphere reached its peak. Xiaomeng glanced over and saw that they had clearly been drugged; they were tearing at each other like madmen. Poor thing, they wouldn't survive long once they were in the ring.

Xiao Tang clutched his chest. "That was too exciting! Scary... How was this dog trained? It seems like it doesn't feel pain. Oh." He could hardly bear to look at it. Remembering that Xiao Meng was next to him, he quickly turned to comfort her. "I didn't know this place..." He noticed that Xiao Meng, sitting next to him, had a calm expression, as if she were watching TV, completely unfazed. She even took a sip of tea while everyone was shouting.

"Ah, aren't you scared?"

Xiaomeng was puzzled, "They're in a cage, what are they afraid of? They can't be kicked out anyway."

"I mean, this scene is a bit too bloody, I'm afraid you can't handle it."

"Hmm... if you're afraid of gore, then don't watch. Shall we go now?"

Xiao Tang was worried that he wouldn't be able to finish watching a single show, and that Xiao Meng would think he was too timid and look down on him, so he stubbornly said, "Let me watch some more, at least I'll finish one show."

"Whatever you want." *Swoosh*... Xiaomeng's eyes were fixed on a hand raised high in front of the cage. Six large rings adorned its five fingers, all large gemstone-encrusted rings.

Oh, not quite accurate. It should be said that five of the six large rings have large gemstone cabochons, and the remaining one is a plain gold wedding ring.

I slurped up the bouncy pudding at the bottom. The gemstones were all of such high quality; their colors were so vibrant under the stage lights. Just look at that royal blue sapphire ring—it's probably even bigger than Princess Diana's wedding ring! With such a rich blue and such a large size, it could easily fetch tens of millions at auction. And then there's that ruby…

A dog on the field won a hard-fought battle, and the crowd erupted in wild cheers. The owner of the jeweled finger jumped up as well. Oh, white-robed man, it's alright now.

Xiaomeng's eyes returned to the arena. The winner of the fight was Maggie. She had some wounds and bloodstains, but her injuries didn't seem serious; she could still stand and breathe heavily. Her opponent, however, lay in the corner covered in blood, clearly on the verge of death.

Someone shouted, "Maggie is awesome! Ten consecutive wins! He must have made tens of millions this year!"

"This dog was injured in the last competition, and everyone thought it wouldn't make it in this one, but it won again! It's amazing! I wish this dog were mine." The dog lover looked at Maggie with fervent eyes, just like he was looking at a beautiful woman.

Xiao Meng coldly watched the people holding betting slips at the scene; some were laughing wildly, while others were wailing.

When I was a child, there were many people in the village who fought cocks and dogs during the Spring Festival. When we children were young and didn't know any better, we would go to watch. After watching a lot, we would understand.

These people in upscale bars, all impeccably dressed in suits, wearing gold watches and jewelry, aren't they just like those village hooligans, laughing and crying, acting all erratic and disorganized when they gamble? It's common for them to lose their entire family's year's income when they're really into it. Xiaomeng felt an instinctive disgust at first sight.

"Finished watching? Let's go, what's so interesting about this? It's all bloody." Xiaomeng jumped off the high stool and left.
