"Oh, there's always someone better out there. What will you do if you lose?"
Ye Feng looked at the Master.
"Hmph! If I lose, then I will admit I'm a piece of trash, incapable of teaching you!"
The Master said, throwing his sleeve.
He couldn't possibly lose.
There were two promising youngsters at Shrek Academy.
One was Dai Mubai, and the other was Tang San.
Coincidentally, both were Soul Elders.
He believed they should have no problem dealing with this man.
"What kind of condition is that? You're already trash; do you even need to admit it?"
Ye Feng shrugged his shoulders.
He wasn't looking down on the Master, he had always looked down on him!
"You! What do you want then?!"
The Master suppressed his anger!
This Mad Dragon, Yu Xiaogang, swore to tame him!
Eventually, to make him completely submit to his own personal charm and extensive knowledge.
"Bets need to be fair. If I lose, you want me to join your ranks, then if I win, you must offer something of equal value. That's the only way this bet can stand. Otherwise, why should I gamble with you?"
Ye Feng spoke indifferently to Yu Xiaogang.
"So if I lose, I should join your ranks?"
Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly!
"Forget about that. I can't take in a fifty-year-old, level 29 piece of trash as a disciple."
Ye Feng spread his hands.
"Then what do you want? Right now, I'm only the Head of Teaching at Shrek Academy, with nothing else but my position!!"
Yu Xiaogang literally had nothing on him right now!
Even his most valuable soul tool had been given to Tang San.
"Shrek?"
Ye Feng murmured softly.
"What, are you interested in Shrek? How about this then; if you win, I'll let you take my position as the Head of Teaching!"
All they saw was Yu Xiaogang speaking to him.
To secure this bet, he was all in.
"No, no, no, I'm not interested in this Head of Teaching position. How about betting Shrek itself? If I win, you'll give Shrek to me."
Ye Feng suddenly wanted to go big.
"You really dare to gamble! I, Yu Xiaogang, will take you up on that!"
The Master had been continuously provoked by Ye Feng.
At that moment, he immediately agreed.
"Then let's sign the contract!"
Ye Feng immediately drew up the contract!
Flander: ???
"Brock, isn't Shrek Academy mine??"
Flander was stunned on the side.
How did their wager end up including his Shrek Academy?
It's like two neighbors betting your house while you, as the owner, are left with question marks all over your face.
"Flander, didn't you say last night that you were preparing to make me Vice Principal and that Shrek Academy would be split with me?"
The Master pulled Flander aside.
"It's half, but the other half is still mine, right?"
Flander said with a bewildered face.
Zhao Wuji, the Vice Principal, didn't really care if the academy was split with him or not; as long as he was provided with a good meal, he was content.
Moreover, when he said those words last night, it was to motivate Brock to participate more in the academy's teaching.
It wasn't to bet the academy on a wager the next day!
"Flander, have you forgotten? Back in the day, our Golden Iron Triangle brotherhood; what's yours is mine, and what's mine... still yours, right? Besides, if we bring this Bloodthirsty Demon into Shrek Academy, will we ever worry about lacking funds in the future?"
The Master was doing ideological work on Flander.
He was one hundred percent confident he could beat this Bloodthirsty Demon!
```
"But I still don't want to stake the Academy; after all, it's my life's work," Flander shook his head.
Brotherhood is real, what's mine is yours, and yours is mine, but let's just forget it.
To take on this disciple, Flander had to admit he was getting a bit crazed.
"Flander, don't you trust me? I'm doing this to take Shrek Academy to new heights. Think about it, what does Shrek Academy have right now? Nothing but a mountain of debts. You've been prompted for rent for over a month. If we win, the Academy will gain someone like Dai Mubai. Wouldn't that be wonderful?" Brock persisted with his eloquent persuasion.
The thing is, the bet revolves around Shrek Academy.
If Flander is unwilling, the bet can't go ahead.
This is his only chance!
He absolutely cannot miss out.
Moreover, once he takes on this disciple, Shrek Academy will undoubtedly flourish and reach new heights!
Now he's starting to feel annoyed.
Why has Flander become so shortsighted?
To even consider such a thing!
Being so indecisive!
"Well... alright, but I'm only willing to put up your share, that's my bottom line," Flander said, looking at Brock.
That was his bottom line.
At least that way, he would still have some control.
He wouldn't be unable to explain things to the brothers who'd been with him through thick and thin.
"Flander, you're being foolish!" Brock showed an exasperated attitude of hating that iron can't become steel!
"Go ask him. If he agrees to half, then sign. If we lose, I can't let the brothers who've struggled with me be left homeless," Flander stated firmly.
Agreeing to give up half was already the most he could offer out of respect for Brock.
He had a group of brothers behind him who'd followed him.
If they lost and this person wanted to drive them out, how would he account to everyone?
And what about the little monsters at the school? What were they supposed to do?
As the principal, he had to consider all aspects.
He couldn't just get carried away and do something so outrageous.
"Foolishness, sheer foolishness! Flander, we've been brothers for so many years. I, Brock, can guarantee with my life that we won't lose! And what does your Shrek Academy have anyway? Just some lousy accounts and a pile of rotten wooden houses!" Brock said to Flander, his face full of agitation.
Has the bond of brotherhood faded over the years?
How can he still not trust him?
"Brock, even though my Shrek Academy is dilapidated and has no savings, it is still a place I love. Half is my principle and my bottom line. It's only because I value our brotherhood that I'm willing to put up half," Flander replied.
His bottom line and principles would not change.
"Fine then, half will do," said Brock as he ran off to ask Feng.
Feng nodded and, with a grand gesture, signed his name.
Outside Rose Hotel, Brock held the document, beaming from ear to ear.
Whereas Flander was sunk in gloom.
The more he thought about it, the more absurd the night's events seemed!
If it weren't for his good old buddy now grinning dumbly with the document in hand, he might even suspect that the other party was conspiring with someone else to swindle his Shrek Academy.
"Flander, I was originally prepared for the other party to demand the whole Academy to reach a wager, but imagine my surprise when they agreed to sign for just half of Shrek Academy's shares. This is a good omen!" Brock was patting Flander's shoulder as he burst into laughter.
"What good omen?" Flander asked, his face filled with question marks.
