Chapter 27 No one is optimistic about Li Cheng's challenge Inside the seats. "Manager Hake, good morning. What brings you here today?" "Are there any special games today?" When everyone saw Huck, who was wearing gold-framed glasses, coming over, they quickly stood up and made way. "Nothing, I just wanted to come and have a look, to experience the thrill of blood flowing all over the place after a long time." Huck greeted his colleagues with a smile. He always had an elegant and subtle smile on his face. This is also the illusion that Huck gives to everyone who is not familiar with him - a compassionate and kind man. But in fact, his hands are stained with the blood of countless people. Organ trading, human trafficking, gambling fraud... all the dark businesses in Storm King City have his traces. Of course, he didn't come to the Colosseum to watch the game today on a whim. He came for Li Cheng.
The spies reported that the assassin sent to kill Hughes Dahl yesterday failed. If it were just that, it would be fine, but the most infuriating thing is that some bastard told the Dark Brotherhood that I had secretly leaked the information. Now, those idiots whose minds were only focused on money couldn't find Hughes Dahl, but came to him instead. He also threatened that if they didn't give them an explanation, he would send Huck to see his dead grandmother. As the saying goes, the arrogant ones are afraid of the stupid ones, and the stupid ones are afraid of the desperate ones. The idiots of the Dark Brotherhood are those who are desperate. Huck really couldn't do anything about them. Therefore, they must be given an explanation. And the best explanation is the head of the defeated Li Cheng. Hughes Dahl would not invest in Li Cheng for no reason. There must be some relationship between the two, either good friends or partners. No matter which one it is, death is the only ending that Li Cheng allows today. Having said that, Huck still felt a little nervous. After all, he was not sure what level this Li Cheng was at. If he fails to capture Li Cheng, his life will be in jeopardy... "Hahaha, Manager Hake isn't just here to take a look today!" At this moment, a male voice sounded, and another manager of the arena smiled flatteringly: "Manager Hake, I'm here to see that fool Li Cheng who doesn't know how to live or die!" Hake: “…” "Don't know what life and death are? What do you mean?" The others became interested. "That Li Cheng actually planned to conduct a series of ten king battle challenges. Do you think he is an idiot?" The manager laughed heartily. "Pfft, are there really newcomers who want to do this? Isn't this equivalent to suicide?"
"That's right!" The manager laughed even harder, and as he spoke, he did not forget to flatter Huck: "Manager Hake must have come here to see that guy make a fool of himself. After all, some blind gambler bet more than 40 magic emblem stones on that guy!" "More than forty pieces? That's not a small amount!" "Yes, but his gambling money is doomed to be lost. After all, our Lord Hake, who is so smart and has a plan for everything, will never let such a thing happen!" The manager continued to flatter him: "He wants to make money right under the nose of our manager Hake, but he doesn't even need to take a piss to see who he is!" Hearing this, everyone's faces were stunned. Then they all showed expressions of regret. Wow, it turns out that all the previous parts were just for this last bit of flattery! You want to improve too much, don't you? Why aren’t we as good at flattering as you? "Haha, you're right." On the other side, Huck almost had a cerebral hemorrhage after hearing this, but in order to maintain his image, he could only smile perfunctorily. To be honest, he felt that his subordinate was a complete idiot. If he was really sure, would he still come to the Colosseum? Wouldn't it be nice to stay in your own mansion and hang out with the bunny girl secretaries? But the manager thought Huck was really happy, and he followed him around, nodding and bowing, not noticing that he was flattering the horse but was actually hitting the horse's hoof. Huck looked at the man's flattering smile and felt more and more disgusted. He thought to himself that if this incident was over, he would castrate this blind man and give him to those psychopathic nobles. Having said that, the flattering bastard still gave Huck a reminder. He sat down in his main seat and waved to his confidant beside him. "grown ups." "For the first match against Li Cheng, let's send Lei." "Sir, Lei is a 100-win player. Isn't it a bit too embarrassing to do this?" the waiter said respectfully. The original plan was to send Lei to deal with Li Cheng only after he won seven games in a row. If he played in the first match, it would seem like he was being targeted. Although it was indeed being targeted. "It doesn't matter. It's time to let these ignorant bastards know the price of provoking the arena. Also, notify the other 100-win contestants to be ready. If Lei fails, then..." Huck closed his eyes and made a throat-slitting motion. The longer the night, the more dreams there are. Since you have chosen to take action and sit at the gambling table, you must give it your all from the start and don't leave any hope for luck. This is Huck's way of dealing with things. "Yes, sir." The waiter retreated respectfully. "Well, in that case, it should be foolproof." Huck elegantly picked up the red wine glass and took a sip. Ten undefeated players as opponents is a unprecedented event in the duel arena in the past hundred years. - At the end of the VIP seats, a lady who was covered in a robe with only her blue vertical pupils exposed smiled inconspicuously. "That's really ugly, Huck. I don't care what happens in the arena, but it's a bit too dirty for you to bully a newcomer like this."
This was none other than the queen of the Arena and even Storm King City—the blue dragon of the hurricane, Ms. Liuli. Liuli, who was tortured by the curse of the abyss and was in unbearable pain, had already decided to die. She had no attachment to anything in this world. After accompanying the Witch of the Abyss Eyes on her final journey, her life was almost coming to an end. And the Full Moon Academy was the cemetery she had chosen for herself. Therefore, Liuli naturally wouldn't care about the little tricks Huck played behind her. After all, she was going to die soon. I came to the arena today just because I sensed the breath of a dragon by chance. After listening to the conversation just now, Liuli's mood did not fluctuate at all. Since the erosion of the abyss, the world has changed. Countless innocent people die every day, and Li Cheng is just one of those unfortunate ones. Yes, Liuli didn’t think Li Cheng would win from the bottom of her heart. Because what he has to face is the ten-game winning streak battle among all the undefeated players in the Storm City Arena. You should know that the rule of the Storm King City Arena is that the strength of anyone entering the arena will be limited to below Level 3 (LV30). Victory does not rely on overwhelming strength, but on real fighting skills. The Ten Consecutive King Battles are the most terrifying battle feast in the arena. No supplies, no rest, not even time to breathe. Some only have one opponent with full status one after another. No gladiator could survive such a round-robin battle. The champion's stick that has been hung on the podium of the arena as a prize since the ten-game series began has still not found its owner. What's more, every one of Li Cheng's enemies this time is an undefeated player. His death was already a foregone conclusion. - General audience seats. The girl in a tattered cloak was holding a betting slip in her hand and staring at the arena below. Her mother was on the verge of death due to black ant disease. And her father, for the sake of her mother, resolutely stepped into the arena. She was only 17 years old and knew nothing and could do nothing. But she knew that her idiot father was a waste and would only be hacked to death if he entered the arena. So, she stole the last 50 gold coins from her father and bet on Li Cheng. Odds are 1 to .
If Li Cheng won, Mom's illness would be cured and Dad wouldn't have to go to the arena. They and their family can continue to live happily. If Li Cheng lost, his father would definitely die, and of course his mother would die too. Then what's the point of her living? The girl's eyes were always fixed on the entrance of the arena. Beads of sweat the size of beans fell from her hood. The nervousness made her breathing heavier and heavier. The uncontrollable rise of adrenaline squeezed her brain and even caused her brain fog. "Will I win?" she murmured to herself. Just at this moment, the entrance to the arena opened. Facing the sunshine, the young man, without wearing any armor or holding any weapons, walked slowly into the field. The passionate music and the deep voice of the host also sounded: "Contestant, Li Cheng, enter." (End of this chapter)
