Chapter 54 Fishing and a Huge Bet

William asked, “So, your chances of winning are slim?”

Kane nodded. “I talked to an expert as well, but he told me that there’s not even a 10% chance of reeling in the giant mottled eel.”

William thought for a moment, then asked, “Is getting Southstead City so important to you?”

Kane smiled bitterly. “Let’s put it like this. If I lose Southstead City, my title as the underground emperor of Justford would be void.”

William said, “The Cromwell Family is backing you. If Landry is bold enough to fight with you, he must have quite the powerful backup as well.

“Landry’s father–in–law is the third most powerful person in the Kreim Capital government,” came Kane’s reply.

After nodding. William acknowledged, “That makes sense. You seem to be in a pinch, Stone.”

Kane smiled bitterly. “Mr. Barrett, can you help me with this?”

William smiled and said, “You can ask Brandon for help. He’s a Divine Realm Master; fishing is a piece of cake for him.”

Kane shook his head. “My teacher mustn’t get involved in this.”

Tia blinked and said, “Mr. Stone, if William can help you, what are you giving him in return?”

With a smile, he replied, “If you can reel in the prize catch, Mr. Barrett, I’ll give you half of the earnings from the first year in Southstead.”

She was intrigued. The profit from the underground world of Southstead City would definitely exceed 1 billion, so half of that would be 500 million!

Kane said, “My only fear is that this measly amount won’t be enough for Mr. Barrett to consider helping

me.”

William was silent for some time before saying, “Prepare a fishing rod, the best you can get.”

Kane beamed. “Of course! I’ll have it prepared right away!”

The car drove back to Amethyst Villa. The fishing rod William asked for was already placed in the yard. This fishing rod was made from supreme carbon fiber and titanium, and it reached over 90 feet in total. It was extremely flexible.

William held the fishing rod, and with a light shake of his hand, a loud crack was heard. It was the fishing rod being cracked like a whip.

Kane was in awe. “Your capability is above mine, sir!”
