Chapter 365: Chapter 197: The Reappearance of Underhanded Tactics
On the third day, the chaos in Paris slowly subsided, with the floodwaters of the Seine River gradually receding, and various commercial activities in Paris downtown resuming business one after another. Only the symbol of Paris—the Louvre Museum remained closed for repair, and it was uncertain when it would reopen to the public.
This great chaos triggered by extreme weather also affected the work progress of the Paris Police Station. According to the time previously agreed upon, the family members of the victims from Dream Technology were supposed to receive the gene comparison results today and then complete the procedure to claim the bodies. However, due to the chaos that spread throughout Paris, the timeline for obtaining the gene comparison results was pushed back, with the earliest availability being tomorrow.
Facing this unforeseen situation, everyone felt somewhat helpless. But that’s how it is overseas—they don’t work overtime for any individual or event; they just follow their routine to complete their work. So although everyone was anxious, they had no choice but to continue waiting.
In the afternoon, a large group of journalists rushed to the Ritz Hotel, aiming for Yan Fei. It turned out that Hong Yuanting from South Korea’s Taekwondo World Promotion League had come knocking, and these journalists were his invitees. Accompanying him were also the operations manager from the Monte Carlo Casino in Monaco, several senior lawyers, and notaries from Paris legal institutions.
The South Korean’s Taekwondo World Promotion League, seeing that although Yan Fei had signed the Challenge Letter, the letter itself had no significant legal force, feared Yan Fei might have second thoughts. Therefore, as soon as Paris had just begun to restore normal order, Hong Yuanting, along with the journalists, visited Yan Fei to cement the destined-to-shock-the-world showdown between Chinese Kung Fu and South Korean Taekwondo in the presence of these journalists and legal professionals.
The reason Hong Yuanting brought the operations manager from the Monte Carlo Casino was to finalize the specifics of the showdown, especially the requirement for both parties to transfer the $3 billion gambling fund to a public account set up by Monte Carlo ahead of time. Once the $3 billion fund was transferred, the Korean side would no longer fear Yan Fei withdrawing from the deal.
The challenger, Kim Hye-myeong, did not show up, and Yan Fei did not meet with these people either; instead, he entrusted Lu Pingping to handle all matters. With Yan Fei’s assurance of victory, Lu Pingping bravely took on the matter, having her accompanying lawyers scrutinize the battle agreement provided by the other party. Then the lawyers discovered a clause in the agreement: “In this challenge, life and death are disregarded.”
When she first came across this clause, Lu Pingping was somewhat worried. However, after consulting Yan Fei in her room, she quickly signed the agreement on his behalf with no hesitation, to the utter astonishment of the Korean representative Hong Yuanting. Wasn’t Yan Fei a billionaire? Didn’t he enjoy living? How could he be fearless of death, daring to sign a life-or-death contract? To think that Kim Hye-myeong was a ruthless demon who never blinked an eye when killing his opponents, always ensuring their death in every match.

Even if Yan Fei was also very powerful, he certainly lacked experience in life-and-death duels, so killing Yan Fei would be as easy as flipping a hand for Kim Hye-myeong. So why was Yan Fei so straightforward about it? Was it because Yan Fei lacked intelligence gathering capabilities and thus did not realize how formidable Jin Xiaoming was, leading to this mistake? Regardless, this was a good mistake; the deal was sealed with both parties’ signatures, and there was no turning back. Once he faced Kim Hye-myeong on the stage, it would be too late for Yan Fei to regret it.
After both parties signed and confirmed, the agreement officially took effect with the notaries’ certification. Then Hong Yuanting instructed the Korean side to transfer $3 billion to the designated margin account. With access to Yan Fei’s “little gold vault,” Lu Pingping felt confident and promptly transferred an equivalent $3 billion to the margin account, just as generously.
From that moment on, the showdown between Chinese Kung Fu and South Korean Taekwondo was officially set in stone. Everything was ready; only the east wind was missing—no one could back out now.
With vigorous promotion from the Korean side, the news that Yan Fei, representing Chinese Kung Fu, and Kim Hye-myeong, representing South Korean Taekwondo, had signed the life-and-death battle agreement, spread rapidly worldwide, sparking a wave of discussion. Not to be outdone, the Monte Carlo Casino in Monaco, the venue for the showdown, started actively promoting the event. They also began seeking sponsors for the battle and selling the broadcast rights to television stations worldwide.
This battle initially didn’t have much news value as it was just a bout between martial arts from two Eastern countries, and the contenders were not world-renowned martial arts experts, so it was unlikely to attract attention from the Western world. However, the showdown quickly spread across the globe and became widely known as the stakes reached a colossal $6 billion, unprecedented in history, and naturally drew everyone’s gaze. Furthermore, with Yan Fei being a newly minted billionaire from China, and Kim Hye-myeong being a vicious expert from the underworld, and their showdown taking the form of a life-and-death duel, it piqued the curiosity of many who couldn’t understand why Yan Fei would take such a risk for a deathmatch. It was these reasons that gave the showdown between Yan Fei and Jin Xiaoming enormous news value and captured the widespread interest of the public.
