C10 Sevenstar Black Card!

Faang Yu's expression was the epitome of serenity as he said, "Of course I can produce it. It's only five hundred million, right?"

His confidence was so palpable that it made the sum seem trivial, as if he were discussing a mere five dollars instead of five hundred million.

Disgust flickered in Su Ningshang's eyes. She couldn't fathom where Faang Yu's audacity came from, to make such an outrageous demand.

How on earth could Faang Yu come up with five hundred million?

Zhao Linlin burst into laughter, turning to Su Ningshang, "Su Ningshang, where in the world did you dig up this oddball? Five hundred million? You're killing me with laughter."

"Su Ningshang, I might have had a bit of a crush on him, but now, I'm over it. Such an idiot is actually well-suited for you, Director Su. You really do have a unique taste!"

Zhao Linlin's words left Su Ningshang drowning in embarrassment. She was so mortified she wished she could kneel down and plead with Faang Yu to stop his ridiculous boasting.

Faang Yu, a simpleton from the border who'd been a soldier for seven or eight years, couldn't possibly have five hundred million.

Yet, in that moment, Faang Yu casually produced a bank card: "This should cover it, right?"

Zhao Linlin scoffed, eyeing the bank card in Faang Yu's hand, "Idiot, what's with the act? You think flashing any old card proves something?"

"Red Star Bank's Seven Stars Black Card!"

But before Zhao Linlin could finish her taunt, a portly middle-aged man interrupted with a gasp of astonishment.

Everyone turned to the middle-aged man, stunned. He was Zhao Feng, the branch manager of Red Star Bank in Diannan City.

With a look of utter amazement, Zhao Feng addressed Faang Yu, "Sir, may I please see your bank card?"

"Certainly," Faang Yu replied with a nod.

Zhao Feng's hands trembled with excitement as he took the card. "It's true! It's true! This is indeed our bank's Seven Stars Black Card. One needs a deposit of at least two billion yuan to qualify for this. It's the genuine Seven Stars Black Card!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing Zhao Feng's words, everyone was taken aback, their faces etched with incredulity as they turned to gaze at Faang Yu.

They were utterly baffled, unable to fathom how a simpleton like Faang Yu, who seemed to have crawled out of some backwoods hollow, could possess a bank card loaded with two billion yuan!

Even Su Ningshang was flabbergasted, staring at Faang Yu in disbelief.

Then it hit her—her own grandfather, Su Zhenhua, had a Seven Stars Black Card.

"Damn it! Grandpa actually handed over the Seven Stars Black Card to this jerk, Faang Yu. Has he lost his mind?" Su Ningshang struggled to come to terms with it.

She couldn't believe that a guy like Faang Yu would hold such a prestigious black card. It had to have been given to him by her grandfather.

Jealousy surged within Su Ningshang. Angrily, she glared at Faang Yu and demanded, "Faang Yu, where did you get this card?"

"Grandfather gave it to me..." Faang Yu replied nonchalantly.

"Just as I thought!" Su Ningshang instantly concluded that the elite black card must have been a gift from her grandfather, Su Zhenhua.

What Su Ningshang didn't realize was that the grandfather Faang Yu mentioned wasn't her grandfather, but his own!

"Faang Yu, you scoundrel! That money isn't yours. What gives you the right to use it as a bet? You wouldn't feel a pinch since it's not your own, right? Forget the bet, we're leaving now!" Su Ningshang commanded, her voice seething with fury.

"I won't lose..." Faang Yu asserted with confidence.

Su Ningshang's face flushed with rage, "You idiot, you know nothing about stocks. What's with the act? If you lose, how could you ever face my grandfather?"

Regret washed over Su Ningshang. If only she had known, she wouldn't have bothered with Faang Yu at all—he deserved whatever came his way!

Meanwhile, Faang Yu looked on, utterly perplexed, as if he were regarding Su Ningshang as nothing more than a fool.

'I'm using my own family's money to bet with you, Su Ningshang, with your grandfather. What business is it of yours?'

Su Ningshang bellowed, "Faang Yu, don't push it. I'm telling you to stop right now..."

"Shut up!"

The outburst was like thunder on a clear day, exploding in an instant.

Su Ningshang's ears rang with the reverberation, leaving her feeling deeply uncomfortable.

Faang Yu's intimidating presence bore down on her, and he had no patience left to waste on explanations for this foolish woman.

"Why would I, Faang Yu, need your unsolicited advice on my actions?" he asked icily.

Su Ningshang was taken aback, not expecting Faang Yu to raise his voice at her.

Fuming, she retorted, "Fine! Fine! Fine! Faang Yu, if you lose, I'll make sure my grandfather hears about it and calls off our engagement right away!"

"What!" The crowd gasped in astonishment.

Pity filled their eyes as they looked at Su Ningshang: "So, this is Su Ningshang's fiancé? And we thought he was just a bodyguard!"

"Director Su really has bad luck. I'd heard Old Master Su had chosen a fiancé for her, but who would've thought it'd be such an idiot. No wonder he has the Seven Stars Black Card—it must be a loan from the old man..."

Seeing the sympathetic glances, Su Ningshang's cheeks burned with humiliation, wishing she could vanish into the ground.

Wang Kai couldn't hide his schadenfreude, "Director Su, don't interfere if he's keen on handing over his money to me. You don't like him anyway, right? Why not use this chance to break off your engagement? Wouldn't that be for the best?"

"Hmph!" Su Ningshang snorted disdainfully and fell silent, her cold gaze fixed on Faang Yu.

At that moment, Wang Kai produced a check for one hundred million and handed it to Director Zhao.

"Director Zhao, you're a respected figure here. Please serve as the witness for our wager and safeguard the stakes. Does that work for you?" Wang Kai proposed.

"Agreed!" Director Zhao nodded in confirmation.

Faang Yu then passed his bank card to Director Zhao.

Wang Kai turned to the staff and instructed, "Go, bring over two computers..."

"Right away!"

Soon after, the staff returned with two computers.

Faang Yu and Wang Kai logged into their accounts simultaneously.

Director Zhao announced, "It's 2:58 pm. The betting starts at 3:00 pm sharp and ends at 3:30 pm. Each of you has one hundred million as your principal. The one who earns more wins. Does that sound fair?"

"Alright!" Faang Yu and Wang Kai nodded in agreement.

Faang Yu maintained an air of serenity, betraying no hint of emotional turbulence. To the onlookers, he was nothing more than a jester, likely on the verge of tears before long.

Soon, the clock struck 3 pm.

Wang Kai swiftly picked a stock called Xingyuan Rubber and went all in.

Brows furrowed in skepticism among the crowd as they watched Wang Kai. They murmured to each other, "Xingyuan Rubber is a venerable company in Hong Kong, known for its strength. But its stock price has been remarkably stable, with modest gains. Can he really turn a profit in just thirty minutes?"

Yet, Wang Kai radiated confidence.

Meanwhile, Faang Yu boldly chose a Hong Kong stock, Tianyuan Electronics, and invested his entire portfolio.

Upon witnessing Faang Yu's move, a wave of resignation swept through the crowd. "This guy's set himself up for a fall. Tianyuan Electronics focuses on export trade and has been underperforming lately due to the global impacts of the Y situation. Opting for Tianyuan Electronics is practically a death wish."

Even Su Ningshang couldn't help but shake her head in dismay, her heart sinking at the thought of the five hundred million at stake.

The consensus was clear: Faang Yu was doomed to lose, with no element of surprise left.

Just then, Wang Kai, brimming with self-assurance, spoke up, "Turn on the TV!"

Heads nodded in unison as the television flickered to life, tuned to the stock market channel.

Suddenly, breaking news flashed across the screen: Hong Kong's Xingyuan Rubber announced a collaboration with the Xu Family, one of the city's most prestigious clans!

The Xu Family was a titan of wealth in Hong Kong, with assets in the hundreds of billions. Aligning with them almost guaranteed prosperity.

As Xingyuan Rubber's stock price soared, everyone's eyes were glued to Wang Kai, their expressions a mix of amazement and awe.

"He truly is the stock prodigy. He must have anticipated the Xu Family's partnership with Xingyuan Rubber. That's why he invested!" they exclaimed, lavishing praise upon Wang Kai, whose eyes sparkled with triumph.

Faang Yu maintained a demeanor of effortless composure, not showing the slightest sign of panic.

He casually pulled out his phone and composed a text to Yundian Province's wealthiest tycoon, Sunn Wanfu.

The message read: "Go all out to boost Tianyuan Electronics' stock price!"

Time flew, and within ten minutes, Wang Kai's chosen Xingyuan Rubber had surged by 10%.

In the Hong Kong stock market, with no upper limit on price increases, the stock continued its ascent.

In a mere ten minutes, Wang Kai had raked in over ten million.

Zhao Linlin gazed at Wang Kai with reverence, her eyes brimming with adoration, as if he were a deity.

To everyone else, Faang Yu was nothing more than a fool blissfully unaware of his own ignorance.

Fifteen minutes slipped by, and Xingyuan Rubber, Wang Kai's pick, had climbed to a 15% gain.

That meant Wang Kai had now pocketed over fifteen million!

In contrast, Faang Yu's Tianyuan Electronics had seen some growth, but it was a meager increase of less than 1%, not even a million in gains.

"We've lost..." Su Ningshang uttered a sigh of defeat.

The consensus was clear: Faang Yu had no chance of a comeback.

Twenty minutes ticked away, and Xingyuan Rubber's rise peaked at 30%.

The momentum was clearly tapering off.

The consensus was that Xingyuan Rubber was running out of steam, with a thirty-two percent increase in half an hour being its ceiling.

Yet, when compared to Faang Yu's choice of Tianyuan Electronics, it wasn't even in the same league.

No one could envision any scenario where Faang Yu could turn the tide.
