Infinite Divine Gears in the City-Chapter 7
Chapter 7
No matter if it was this life or the previous one, Li Rui was a law-abiding citizen.
Even if he was standing in the ring, he wasn’t sure if he would hesitate if he really had to mercilessly take away someone’s life.
Plus, in the ring where everything is constantly changing, it would be a deadly thing for him if he had these mental barriers while facing an opponent who was fierce and brutal. A minute of hesitation would definitely cost his life.
Upon noticing Li Rui’s change of emotion, Wang Lei laughed and patted him on the shoulders.
“Tigers that were brought up in cages will never become the king of the beasts. You have the same aura as me. There will be blood in your future as well, so now, let’s have a taste of your first prey!”
Wang Lei slapped Li Rui back while pushing him out of the room to help boost his confidence.
Li Rui’s expression took an unexpected turn. At this moment, he had finally realized that this wasn’t as simple as he had thought it would be.
A psychological barrier was not that easily overcome with just words!
“Brother Lei… If… just in case… if I lose, please take care of little Wei.”
Upon hearing Li Rui’s words, Wang Lei’s eyes suddenly froze. He then grabbed Li Rui by the collar and lifted him up as if he were catching a toy.
The vicious eyes that were staring right into Li Rui’s eyes were like a sharp sword that pierced right through the frailty in his heart.
“You! Listen up! I will not take care of your sister. If you die, that little bird will lose everything. She will be in pain, despair, and will slowly die in loneliness. No one will pity her! And there’s definitely no one who would pity you!”
He violently threw Li Rui on the ground. His eyes were wide open, and he was staring at Li Rui condescendingly.
“So, even if it’s for your sister, you have to walk out of the ring alive!”
Li Rui lowered his head for a moment and then stood up with eyes filled with determination.
“I know.”
Then, a satisfied smile appeared on Wang Lei’s face.
“Don’t overthink it. It’s just like having sex for the first time. After trying for the first time, you will find it insignificant. There is nothing remarkable about it.”
“Humans are just like every other living creature. They are just as fragile as others, and one simple move…”
Wang Lei’s hand that was like a steel-clad tiger claw slowly clenched into a fist in the air as if there was an invisible neck that he had crushed into ashes.
“It’s just as easy as breathing. Life… is not as sacred as you think.”
Wang Lei walked out of the room without turning back, and Li Rui followed behind him while thinking about his words.
Both of them took the elevator and went to the basement. From afar, Li Rui could already hear the noise.
“There’s an hour left. Go change.”
“Okay.”
Li Rui took two steps forward and then suddenly turned around.
“Brother Lei, I will win the match.”
It was like a promise, yet at the same time, also a way to boost his self-confidence. Li Rui roared, and there was a trace of mania in his eyes.
Wang Lei smirked and slowly extended a fist.
Li Rui also extended his fist and both iron fists violently crashed into each other.
“Sh*t! Brother Lei, you have a very tough fist!”
Li Rui shook his head and grit his teeth.
After seeing that Li Rui’s condition had already returned to normal, Wang Lei laughed and kicked him aside. He then continued walking toward the VIP room.
Li Rui followed the staff to his personal dressing room. After all the pre-match inspections, Li Rui wore a pair of shorts and sat alone on the bench.
There were no gloves and no protective gear.
He was about to participate in an unrestricted and indiscriminate wrestling competition.
This was a type of competition that laid in the grey area. It was bloody, brutal, and also fatal.
Because of this, it had become one of the people’s favorites in this boring modern-world.
“Cho’gath, it’s your turn!”
The staff from outside the door called for him. Li Rui shut his eyes and took a deep breath.
When he opened his eyes again, the same pair of eyes were now only a cold sharp gaze.
“Wooooo! Oh Oh ~~”
As he followed the staff out of the tunnel, there were deafening cheers all around him!
“Let us welcome our newcomer, Cho’Gath!”
The DJ began to heighten the atmosphere.
“WOOOOOOOOO!!~~”
The underground stadium that could hold nearly 5,000 people was completely filled.
The cheers of thousands of people hit Li Rui like waves in the ocean. Under the influence of these crazy emotions, even his heart started beating violently. His blood was rapidly flowing through his veins, and the adrenaline in his body was flying through the roof.
This feeling… It was totally different from his performances before!
Li Rui closed his eyes to enjoy the moment. He was savoring the bloodthirsty madness that was filled in the air.
He was in love with this feeling!
“Cho’Gath will be facing the vicious Jaguar. Jaguar has previously killed seven of his opponents in the ring itself, and some were even professional fighters. Is it possible that our newcomer will be able to defeat Jaguar? Let us wait and see!”
After the DJ’s announcement, Li Rui walked into the ring. The stadium suddenly became quiet, then followed by a loud explosion of people cursing.
“What the f**k! Why is there a kid in the ring?!”
“No wonder the odds aren’t high. I already bet ten thousand on him!”
“HAHAHA, I bet on Jaguar! Kill him! Jaguar! Kill him!”
“Oh my god, he is so handsome! Look at that figure!”
“I want information on him within half an hour!”
The match hadn’t started, but there were already some who were waving their tickets in the air with faces filled with excitement.
There were also others who were moving and twisting their legs uncomfortably.
“Mr, Wang, your player looks much younger compared to his pictures.”
In the VIP room, an old man with a head full of white hair was smiling scornfully.
Wang Lei casually glanced at him. “The young ones are those who will become heroes. There may not be much use for living such a long life.”
After being indirectly insulted, the old man narrowed his eyes and a sharp glance flashed through his eyes.
However, he quickly suppressed it and a smile reappeared on his face.
“Seems like Mr. Wang is really optimistic about him. Are you that confident he can defeat Jaguar?”
“Yes.”
“Then let’s make a bet.”
After hearing his words, Wang Lei turned around and stared into the old man’s eyes.
Like prey that was being targeted by its predator, the old man’s smile froze as cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
After a while, Wang Lei looked away.
“What’s the bet?”
After letting out a breath of relief, the old man regretted leaving his bodyguards outside.
“Let’s just have a small bet of fifty million. How does that sound?”
Wang Lei’s face showed a brutal smile.
“If you want to, we should play a bigger one. A hundred million.”
“What?”
The old man frowned and looked at the young man who was standing in the ring.
What’s so special about that kid?
“What’s wrong? You don’t have the guts?”
After Wang Lei’s mock, the old man lowered his head, trying to cover his vicious eyes.
You asked for it!
“Mr. Wang must be joking, it’s only a hundred million. I’m definitely up for it.”
“Deal!”
“Deal!”
They shook hands. The old man’s hand was sore after being held by Wang Lei’s dry tiger claws.
After coming to an agreement, both of them kept quiet. The old man leisurely stared at the ring below as his mouth secretly turned into a smug.
