The class split into two camps-Raymond’s fans and Margaret’s. Though Margaret’s supporters were all just guys hypnotized by her looks.

Then a voice cut through the noise. “Betting is open! Higher bets mean bigger wins!”

“I bet on Raymond! My whole month’s allowance-100 thousand!”

“Me too! Raymond’s unbeatable! I’ll put down 500 thousand!”

“I bet one million on Margaret.”

“Ahem… Margaret, are you betting on yourself?”

“Is this enough?” Margaret sounded impatient, her voice cold.

“Yeah! Totally!” Rickie nodded frantically.

Total bets on Raymond added up to around two million Margaret was the only one betting on herself-one million.

If Raymond won, his supporters would only get half their principal as profit. If Margaret won, she’d take home the entire two million.

But no one in the class thought she stood a chance. The gap was too big.

Raymond was a taekwondo black belt. Before he got into racing, he’d even won the national taekwondo championship.
