MTL - Don’t Confiscate My Citizenship-Chapter 675 Lanqi: The King of Abuse of Vegetables
Chapter 675: Lan Qi’s Abuse of the Dish King
On a midsummer night, some people say that the shining stars are the eyes of the gods sitting high in the sky.
The St. Silver Vine Arena is located in District 6 on the north shore of Parrieu, the capital of Poisson. It is about 25 kilometers away from the center of Parrieu and can be easily reached through the public transportation system.
As the designated location and multi-functional arena for the Huadu Holy Grail Familiar Competition, the Holy Silver Vine Arena is bustling with excitement all year round. Even if they are not employers and players, there are a large number of spectators who like to watch the competition here as a leisure activity, and even place bets. Make a small profit or reopen directly.
Its geographical location allows it not only to serve the competitive and cultural activities of the Parrieu region, but also to facilitate the visit of spectators from the entire Poisson Kingdom and even internationally.
But one kilometer further north is a deserted neighborhood.
Simply because the Holy Silver Vine Arena is very close to the entrance to the Posen Demon Realm.
Go through the door with the ancient space enchantment in the north to enter the Posen Demon Realm.
The areas 7 to 10 in the northern part of Huaduparieu are the demon world.
Ordinary Huadu residents will not go deep into the Posen Demon Realm after arriving around the arena. In the Demon Realm, humans are no longer protected by special laws, and demons are no longer restricted and cannot harm humans.
This Holy Silver Vine Arena is a building that is called a "realm" landmark to some extent.
Moreover, the one I brought this time was actually a human steward.
“I thought Miss Christina was here to torture him, but I didn’t expect that she was here to show everyone the financial resources of Count Baptiste’s family.”
The Baptiste family's already extraordinary reputation and winning streak quickly attracted attention.
Mainly focused on brainless krypton gold.
Under normal circumstances, the Earl of Baptiste’s family would have Young Master Kyle lead the demon servants into battle.
Many people think that no matter how strong he is as a newcomer, it will be difficult for him to defeat such an opponent.
Just because the basic quality of his followers is so high, he can still win sometimes.
Facing him was a huge dragon warrior with a desire to kill.
Steep rocks and protruding mountains form a natural arena, interspersed with rifts cut by sharp rocks and unpredictable traps.
Countess Christina Baptiste is not well-known in the world of familiars and demons. On the contrary, her brother is relatively well-known within the circle.
The moment the battle horn sounded, the primitive power in the body of the Demonic Dragon Warrior was aroused. His body began to twist and deform, his muscles expanded, his skin turned into scales, and he transformed into a huge black dragon, spreading its wings and flying into the sky.
Since Mr. Kyle doesn’t pay much attention to the strength and training of his servants, his performance is not particularly good.
Many spectators were in the auditorium and stands of the arena, watching the game.
Today was the first time that they saw Young Master Kyle’s sister personally bringing her followers to participate in the competition.
On the screen, the player on the blue side with the dividing line is a man dressed as a butler with brown hair and green eyes, and the other player on the red side is a burly dragon warrior with wild eyes.
“It’s started, it’s started.”
[Lodge, a servant contracted by Count Baptiste’s family, 9 wins and 0 losses]
An unknown voice came out, and the eyes of the audience in the stands once again turned towards the crystal screen hanging in the branch library.
The highest-standard startup terminal in the Holy Silver Vine Arena can support dozens of competitive matches at the same time, and this game is obviously attracting the attention of more and more current regional audiences.
There was silence in the audience area. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the screen, and their heartbeats almost accelerated at this moment.
In the distance, the winding mountains cast long shadows in the moonlight.
Many regulars of the Holy Silver Vine Arena were talking about it.
“Is this steward really a human being?”
The screen glanced at a man with brown hair and green eyes wearing a butler's uniform.
“He was brought in by the evil daughter of Count Baptiste’s family and has won nine games in a row.”
While the discussion was going on, the screen showed a rugged mountainous terrain.
At the beginning of the battle, the dragon warriors cast their tribe's unique dragon transformation magic.
“It was because he won too quickly that he met a veteran like Borgogna.”
On the magic screen hanging in one of the branches, information about the players from both sides was being played.
This is already the steward's tenth battle tonight.
His opponent this time is far greater than any previous one. He will fight against the demon dragon Borgonia Perli, a familiar who has played nearly two hundred games and has a winning rate of 89.17%.
I saw the strong body of the black dragon circling and flying in the air, bringing up gusts of wind. Its claws flashed with the light of death, and its open dragon mouth erupted with a deafening roar. When its wings flapped, it brought up the undercurrent, covering it up with lightning speed. He struck at the speed of his ears and went straight towards the housekeeper who seemed to have no resistance.
【Rocky McCarthy, vs. Borgonia Purley】
However.
At present, both sides have entered the [Infinite Phantom Canyon] in the artificial shadow world startup terminal, and started a one-on-one battle on random terrain.
【Borgonia, a servant employed by the Stand Express Group, 173 wins and 21 losses】
“A sixth-level pure-blooded demon is still a demon dragon. Ordinary sixth-level demons can’t fight with him.”
The audience watched with bated breath, secretly thinking that the battle would be decided in the next moment.
One minute of pre-battle preparation time passed.
His posture is elegant and calm, as if what he is about to face is not a life and death battle, but a daily tea party.
At this time, at eight o'clock in the evening, more than ten familiar demon competitions were going on at the same time in many sections of the arena.
Just when the dragon's shadow was about to swallow up the steward.
The butler just raised his hand slightly.
The invisible power is like holding the ferocious dragon tightly as if it were tightly grasped by invisible hands, making it unable to move.
The originally menacing black dragon was no longer flying freely, but hit the ground heavily.
The audience stands were so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Then, the giant dragon struggled a few times, and found that its body seemed to be bound by thousands of pounds of chains. No matter how hard it tried, it could not break free from the invisible spiritual power of the chains.
It could only scream feebly, its claws softened, and it lay heavily on the rugged mountainous terrain. The dust was flying, and the wild light in the dragon's eyes gradually dimmed. Its head slowly lowered, and it fainted.
A few seconds later, the dust settled, and the giant dragon lay limply on the ground and gradually turned into a point of light, and was sent out of the artificial shadow world.
For a time, the audience outside the screen burst into deafening exclamations. Their expressions changed from shock to fanaticism, and they all cast admiring glances at this seemingly inconspicuous butler.
“Today’s game was exciting!”
“Who else will challenge him?”
It was okay to defeat weak opponents before, but this time when encountering a truly strong player, it was better to just beat them.
No one expected at first that this poet-like gentleman actually possessed such amazing strength.
As the dust of the battle settled, the steward walked out of the rugged mountain arena at an extremely leisurely pace and emerged from the void door opened by the magic device at the terminal of the artificial shadow world.
He walked slowly towards the rest area.
“How about it, now you know how powerful I am.”
Thalia's thoughts echoed in Lan Qi's heart.
“Indeed, you are most useful now.”
Lanchi replied to her in her heart.
“Why did you add ‘now’?”
Thalia's voice gradually cooled down.
“Because! ‘Now’ is the most important thing.”
Lan Qi quickly answered with his heart.
He is definitely not an old Onmyoji. How could he use the Yin and Yang Tower whenever he has nothing to do?
…”
Thalia thought for a while, fell into a dormant silence, and stopped pursuing him.
Lanchi breathed a sigh of relief.
Thalia who has not been summoned can also rely on him like the Love Poet, controlling part of his body use rights and casting spells.
Although the power output is greatly limited in the possession state, Thalia's possession and the Love Poet's possession are completely different concepts.
Thalia also proposed that she would like to eat directly with Lan Qi's body.
In this way, she can enjoy delicious food again, and Lan Qi can avoid summoning her magic power.
But Lanci rejected it.
He was worried that Thalia would ruin his stomach. He didn't have Thalia's digestive ability.
Thinking about it, he entered the rest area, and his figure was reflected in the waiting eyes of the blonde lady.
Everything that just happened in the field seemed to him to be just a small episode in daily life.
“How about it, Miss, I still have sixteen minutes of working time, no, now I have three seconds less.”
The housekeeper glanced at the pocket watch, put it away, and said to the eldest lady.
"how did you do that?"
Christina’s voice was filled with shock and unconcealable fear.
“You asked me to win, so I won.”
The butler with brown hair and green eyes explained.
His voice sounded as if the feat of overpowering the dragon just now was just routine for him.
Christina was still a little confused. She thought she had a rough estimate of the butler's combat effectiveness.
But obviously, his strength far exceeded her imagination.
The magic power fluctuations on his body are very weak, and he lacks the aura of a warrior.
But he can easily knock down his opponent every time.
"I...I really didn't expect you to be able to deal with it so easily. Even my brother's familiar was unable to defeat the dragon fighter Borgonia Perli, and you actually defeated it like this..."
She shook her head, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Christina initially just wanted Housekeeper Lodge to suffer a little bit, and then gave up and stopped working at their house.
Unexpectedly, I won a lot of points for my family by fighting.
She is almost famous as the employer of Supernova.
Christina looked at the amount in her account, feeling slightly dazed.
She used her butler Rocky McCarthy to compete in competitions, and she beat him to win every game. Now the pocket money she had saved over the years had doubled several times.
Unfortunately, there is a betting limit of £1,000 per game.
In addition, large capital injections may be investigated or frozen.
As an employer, you can only win by overpowering your own familiars.
At the same time, in order to put an end to match-fixing, the familiars of both parties need to agree to anti-cheating clauses in the artificial shadow world and accept real-time combat intention testing. Once there is an intention to match-fix, they will be investigated and even given a sky-high fine.
At first, Christina was heartbroken when she heard that the housekeeper had paid him 1,000 pounds, and she thought she was going to give away the wedding fee that she had saved for many years.
Unexpectedly, I won the first one with high odds.
Next, when encountering increasingly stronger enemies, Butler Rocky basically completely controlled the opponent in one confrontation, making the opponent feel the gap in strength and then surrender.
This is not like fighting the sixth level against the sixth level.
It’s completely like the eighth level is torturing the sixth level!
Some people even suspected that the Baptiste family had found a hidden boss and came to the Holy Silver Vine Arena to cause trouble.
Generally speaking.
Let’s not talk about the eighth level of the country’s powerful people. They can’t be moved without invitation.
Even if you can hire a black boxer, the cost is hard to describe.
Because to be honest, it would be really embarrassing for an eighth-level strongman to hide his strength and bully a sixth-level player in such a competitive game.
“Then it seems it’s getting late. I guess no player will be willing to play a points match with me tonight.”
Lanci roughly estimated the time and felt that it was time to send Miss Christina home.
There is no commission for points competitions.
Because it is not related to commercial disputes at all, it is just a competition that increases the status of players and the reputation of employers.
The only way to make money in this type of competition is by betting.
If you want to get a high commission in one fell swoop, you have to engage in an employment competition involving business disputes.
As long as Christina rents out Lanci and lets him win a key game, she may receive a high commission.
“Indeed...except for the high odds in the first game, you made a lot of money, but then you made less and less. Everyone saw your strength. In the end, it was even more one-sided and you couldn’t make any money.”
Christina looked at her savings, which was close to 20,000 pounds, and felt a bit like she was dreaming.
The housekeeper was actually easier to talk to than she thought.
Although the extra working time he allocated to her was only two hours, he did not worry about the time spent on the round trip and the process of registering the players.
Sending her home was just a housekeeper's duty.
To a certain extent, she felt that the housekeeper was actually a good person.
and…
If the butler can act a little at the beginning, not to deal with the opponent so quickly, and to hide his strength, maybe he can make more money.
"That's definitely not possible. If I let it slip, I will be found to have the intention of match-fixing, and I will be fined for delaying the match."
Lanqi seemed to have seen Christina's innocent and funny idea that day.
In some situations where you can obviously win, you have to torture your opponent. Although it is not considered disrespectful, it is of a bad nature and will result in high fines. It is called "uncompetitive spirit" or "delaying the game".
Winning the game decisively and neatly like Lanqi is a standard style of play.
"…Well."
Christina was speechless.
Even so, she never imagined that making money would be so easy.
This butler is really an unimaginable money-spinner.
If you want to make money from him...
Just in this short night, I gained wealth and freedom, and I could live a prosperous and wealthy life after leaving the Earl's house.
“What, are you considering not firing me now?”
Lan Qi inquired with a curious smile.
“No, once I save enough liquidated damages, I will fire you right away!”
Christina hesitated for a moment, then immediately looked at him and answered him.
"Although I have received 50,000 pounds from your brother, and I can immediately receive another 50,000 pounds from you, and I don't have to work anymore, it is really a good thing, but have you really thought about it clearly? How can our family That’s a net loss of one hundred thousand pounds.”
Lan Qi spread his hands and continued to inspire her.
“Think clearly, I don’t dare to covet your money!”
Christina said to him very firmly.
The more she felt that this butler was like a wishing machine, the more Christina felt that the money was heavy. If she asked for more from him, her family might never be able to get rid of him.
“It seems that I underestimated you...”
Lan Qi was a little confused by her answer. He looked at her for a while and smiled again.
"What's the meaning."
Christina asked warily.
"Your quality is very valuable and sparkles like gold. If you were my employer, I would really like to work more."
Lanci said jokingly but not quite.
"what are you talking about."
Christina was confused.
The sudden recognition made Christina wonder what the other person was thinking.
She just felt that she could not understand the other party's words.
"I mean, actually I don't have any ill intentions. Without the reputation of the Earl's family, I wouldn't have been able to earn this huge sum of money so easily. Compared to a diabolical transaction partner, I am more like a mutually beneficial partner. Isn’t it?”
Lanci explained patiently.
He seemed to be trying to convince the other person again to look at the money and his job as a steward in a different way.
“But I still won’t ask for this money because I didn’t put in the effort and it came too easily. The more you tempt me to accept it, the more I feel I will pay an invisible price for it.”
Christina thought seriously for a while and shook her head.
…”
Lanqi was silent this time.
He has never been rejected so many times.
There are indeed people in the world who have exceptionally strong hearts that cannot be shaken by words.
Just when Lan Qi was speechless.
“Haha, Lan Qi, you were rejected.”
Thalia heard a voice in her heart.
“It’s so cute.”
She added.
She has been listening to Lan Qi’s heart.
Can't help but laugh at Lan Qi immediately.
“Yes, only girls like Shijiang will never reject me.”
Of course Lanci would not give in.
Fighting with the sky is boring, fighting with the earth is boring, fighting with Thalia is endless fun.
…”
Thalia's thoughts fell into silence.
Think carefully.
She actually wanted to reject Lan Qi every time, but finally agreed to him.
From the very beginning when I fed the cat, I later became a guard, a teacher, helping him make cards, and so on.
Why can’t I just reject him as decisively as this girl named Christina?
“Shijiang, you are really a girl that I can easily get my hands on.”
Lanci added provocatively, his voice full of victor's attitude.
…”
“Do you want to think about it again?”
Thalia's invisible hand of thought gently touched Lan Qi's heart.
She could grab his heart if she wanted to.
“No, no, no, no, it’s easier for you to deal with me!”
Lan Qi quickly begged for mercy.
Having played ten games in a row, he has used up a lot of mana.
In addition to maintaining the most basic security power, he felt that he could only fight one game today.
The two people who were facing each other in their hearts gradually returned to calm.
“Do you really want to play with Count Baptiste’s family?”
Thalia asked Lanci.
According to her observations in the past two days, this family is actually not bad, but their behavior is a bit stupid and can easily offend others.
Putting aside Lan Qi’s abnormal influence, Talia felt that this family was really loyal to Lan Qi.
Count Baptiste at least treats Lanci, a parasitic species, sincerely.
“Then if you take one hundred thousand pounds from someone else, you have to work for them. If I just take one hundred thousand pounds and run away, wouldn’t I be a liar?”
Lanci asked rhetorically.
Even if the other party is willing, he doesn’t feel it’s right.
“…You are quite professional.”
Thalia didn’t know how to evaluate Lanqi’s wishing machine.
She couldn't tell whether she was on the evil side or the good side, order or chaos.
She may not have known Lan Qi that well before.
Since she connected with Lan Qi's soul, looking at Lan Qi's life every day, she began to feel that she gradually understood this guy a little better.
This guy's contract looks dangerous in the cloak of a devil, but it's actually pretty angelic.
Even the student named Bacher at Purgatory Corridor College, Lan Qi did not harm him. Instead, he was as kind to him as White Moonlight.
In the rest area, Lan Qi still stood in front of Christina and didn't speak again for a long time.
"In short, you and we are not from the same world. If you are really willing to give me a choice, then I will definitely pay you liquidated damages and ask you to step down as our housekeeper and regain your freedom."
Christina bowed expressionlessly but extremely respectfully.
It’s like asking God to leave with all your heart.
Even if he hired housekeeper Rocky McCarthy for even one more month, he might still be able to make a lot of extra money after the contract was terminated.
But as soon as she had saved fifty thousand pounds, she would immediately pay all the money to the housekeeper.
…”
The people around overheard the conversation between Miss Christina and her housekeeper, and they only thought that there was something wrong with the Miss Christina's mind.
At present, she is only playing in the fast competitive mode based on the Baptiste family's reputation for high hatred and in the name of the family.
If you are participating in a business dispute-type commission battle, renting out the butler Rocky McCarthy as a player will also result in a high commission.
“Don’t worry, you pay me fifty thousand pounds and I won’t work anymore.”
Lanqi smiled helplessly and promised Christina.
What makes him sad is that although Miss Christina is sincere, it is not easy to make friends with her. She has only slightly let down her guard against herself.
The two of them chatted briefly and walked out.
Moonlight shines through the open round hole on the top of the Holy Silver Vine Arena, and shines on the many connected magic equipment terminals. The tall spectator stands in each branch are scattered like mountains.
Eight or nine o'clock every night is the golden moment for competitive competitions, attracting fighters and monsters from all over the world to fight here for honorary gold and faith.
At this moment, battles in other branches are still showing on the screen. Two demons holding swords are fighting fiercely. The swords are shining like waterfalls and their fighting spirit is high. The audience's cheers, applause, and disappointed sighs are intertwined. From time to time, it spreads to the edge of the venue through the air.
Just as Christina and Lanci were about to leave the rest area and walk towards the brightly lit passage of the open-air venue under the night sky, a wealthy businessman with a hooked nose in an expensive suit quickly trotted over and blocked their way.
“You two, please wait a moment!”
The wealthy businessman had an eager and serious expression on his face, obviously he came to them with something urgent.
“Do you need help?”
Both of them paused in confusion.
“Miss Christina, excuse me, I have a request.”
The wealthy businessman seemed a little afraid of the Countess of the Baptiste family. He remained reserved but straight to the point.
"I need a powerful messenger to participate in tonight's business dispute competition. I saw that your butler is extremely powerful. I am willing to pay a high commission to ask him to fight on my behalf."
“You will be fined for temporarily changing the team members.”
Christina frowned slightly after hearing this. She was caught off guard by this sudden request.
"That's right, Miss Christina, but the other party also changed the contestants temporarily. I was relatively confident that I could win, but now I don't know. After watching Mr. Rocky's game, I feel that instead of If you lose, you might as well pay a lot of money to give him a try."
After the hook-nosed wealthy businessman explained the reason, he showed the remuneration and rental contract to Miss Christina.
As long as Mr. Lodge, the butler of the Baptiste family, is willing to play a game for their company, they are willing to pay a basic commission of 1,500 pounds to the Baptiste family. If they win, there will be an additional winner's commission of 4,500 pounds.
"this…"
Although Christina’s family is wealthy, she has never made so much money while still in school.
Had it not been for the huge amount of money she got from betting on Rocky tonight, she would have suspected it was like money falling from the sky.
You can get 1,500 pounds if you lose.
She saw that Rocky looked indifferent, which seemed to mean that he still had time to work, and if he wanted to participate in the war, he would have no problem with it.
“What’s going on with the opponent?”
Christina did not agree directly. After calming down and thinking, she asked the hook-nosed wealthy businessman.
“That’s it, Miss Christina, please take a look.”
The hook-nosed wealthy businessman began to introduce the specific situation.
His name is Edward Winston, and he is the current CEO of Winston Watch Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and their company is also a long-standing and reputable luxury watch manufacturer in the Kingdom of Poisson.
Tonight’s opponent, Charles Hammond, belongs to Hammond Financial Group, which is engaged in international financial services in the Southern Continent and provides a wide range of financial services within the Southern Continent, including investment banking, asset management and insurance businesses.
Behind this agency competition lies a decades-long business competition and disputes.
Many years ago, Winston Watch Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Hammond Financial Group became rivals in a large-scale international investment project. Winston attempted to globalize its watch brand through this investment, while Hammond Financial Group They took a fancy to the huge investment return potential of this project.
· During the competition, a series of misunderstandings and opposing business strategies between the two parties led to a long-term legal and media war, which seriously affected the goodwill and profits of both parties.
Ultimately, in order to avoid further financial losses and to try to find a more direct and decisive resolution, the parties agreed to a proxy contest to decide the outcome of the dispute.
The agreement stipulates that the winning party will gain control of the disputed project, while both parties will end all ongoing legal proceedings and restore each other's reputation in front of the public and media.
“The other party found a very bad proxy competitor tonight.”
The hook-nosed wealthy businessman murmured darkly and sadly.
It is said that he is also a mysterious messenger who has just become famous in the past two days. He has won 16 battles so far, and each of them is an overwhelming victory.
What's even more special is that he never gave his opponent a chance to surrender. He almost tortured his opponent to death before letting him go.
Although there is no life threat in the artificial shadow world.
However, such a style of play will put deep fear into the opponent and make him quickly become famous.
The hook-nosed wealthy businessman’s many years of experience told him that if he had hired a competitor, he would have no hope of defeating the opponent.
This game is not only a power struggle between their two employers, but also a contest between two completely different business brands and philosophies, often involving tens of thousands of pounds of long-term interests.
Christina read through the contract and then looked at the housekeeper beside her.
She felt that Butler Lodge should be someone who knew more about the law.
“No legal risk.”
He answered as if he could understand what she meant.
“Then I accept it?”
Christina asked Rocky tentatively.
“You are the boss, you decide.”
Lan Qi was a bit dumbfounded. To a certain extent, she is a bit similar to Hyperion in some aspects of her personality. She is a little worried and scared about everything she encounters.
“Then please.”
Christina thanked her, and then she looked at the hook-nosed wealthy businessman Edward Winston.
“Mr. Edward, I will rent Lodge Lodge to you to compete in this agency competition.”
She picked up the pen that the butler handed her from the side and began to sign the contract.
With his reputation established, he might be able to raise 50,000 pounds by renting Rocky to play in a game next week.
Of course there is a problem.
If he is too strong, no one will be considered able to compete with him. If he goes to fight in the future, the other party's employer will not be willing to fight.
So if you can make money now, try to make more money first, so that Rocky can leave home as soon as possible.
…
Half an hour later.
Saint Silver Vine Arena.
It has an oval shape with hundreds of meters in length and width and about 58 meters in height. It is not only a masterpiece of engineering and architectural art in the lost empire, but also one of the most famous ancient ruins in the southern continent today. According to historians , the purpose of the construction of the arena was to hold large-scale entertainment activities such as gladiator fighting competitions, beast hunting, chariot races, etc., to meet the needs of citizens of the ancient empire for **** entertainment.
This building incorporates the essence of modern construction technology into ancient ruins. A major feature is the movable roof, which can be opened or closed as needed. It is the largest amphitheater in the southern continent.
In another large branch library different from the one just now.
˜The rest area dedicated to staff and coaches, Lanci and Christina came here and sat in the area of Winston Watch Manufacturing Co., Ltd. to wait.
Looking up, you can see the majestic circular structure made of thousands of huge stones, towering into the clouds, like the last spiritual symbol of the ancient empire.
Lanchi admired the building casually, waiting for the start of tonight's final game.
Not long after, all the screens changed together, and player information was also displayed on them.
【Rocky McCarthy, vs. Ian Hornrenthal】
【Rocky, representative competitor of Winston Watch Manufacturing Co., Ltd., contracted servant of Count Baptiste family, 10 wins and 0 losses】
【Innoan, Hammond Financial Group representative competitor, no contracted servant, 16 wins and 0 losses】
This is the highlight of tonight, and it is also a non-points match with an employment nature.
Christina looked at the coaching bench seating area opposite the venue.
The employer of the Hammond Financial Group that she faced tonight, Viscount Charles Hammond, was originally from a faction that was not very compatible with her father, Count Baptiste's faction.
In fact, if possible, Christina does not want to get involved in the disputes among these Posen aristocratic circles.
Even if she can win the fight, her parents will definitely praise her for a job well done when she goes back.
But her reputation as a villainous daughter will definitely deepen——
At the age of only seventeen, he overthrew the elders of a rival family.
In addition to displaying competitor information, the screen in the venue is also showing competition terms and detailed documents.
For the sake of fairness and justice, after the employment contracts of both competitors are submitted to the alliance, the alliance will make a public announcement.
“Why is the opponent walking a tightrope in the contract...?”
Christina also saw the agency contract signed by her opponent at this time.
The other party signed the most extreme gambling contract.
If he loses, the fighter will pay his employer a huge sum of money in compensation.
Christina checked the league records and did a little calculation. It was almost all the money the fighter had made in the past two days.
If he wins, the employer will also have to pay a very high amount accordingly.
It is different from a guaranteed contract like Lanqi, where there is a commission for winning or losing.
Only with absolute self-confidence would one sign such a treaty that risks everything, which means that the opponent's competitor has absolute confidence that he can win.
As long as you think the winning rate is 100%, it doesn't matter how big the bet is.
Christina suddenly became flustered.
She is not afraid that Rocky will lose, or that even if Rocky loses, he will still show her favor.
But she didn’t want to see Rocky being brutally tortured by the other party. She couldn’t bear to see that kind of scene.
As the night deepens, the air is filled with tension and expectation. The auditorium is filled with people of all kinds, talking and looking hot.
Until five minutes before the start of the game.
A figure finally walked out from behind the opponent's coaching bench.
The shadow clings to it until it fades away—
He is a red-haired boy who looks short. He should probably be called a young man, but his appearance is a bit boyish.
This red-haired young man named Inoan exudes an aura that smells like a butcher.
As soon as he appeared on the stage, even the noisy crowd in the back row unconsciously became quiet.
However.
When Christina's eyes fell on the red-haired boy walking out of the passage opposite, an unprecedented fear instantly enveloped her heart.
Although she was usually confident and brave, at this moment she felt powerless as never before.
Her palms were sweating unconsciously, her heart was racing, and for a moment she wanted to turn around and leave this place immediately, escaping from this venue that made her heart palpitate.
It seemed that the fear emanating from her body was caught by the red-haired boy, and their eyes met briefly inadvertently.
At that moment, Christina's whole body seemed to be soaked in ice water, and fear from the depths of her soul swept over her instantly.
The other party's pair of deep purple eyes are deep and dark, like Manzhu Shahua in the night, with endless chill.
Christina felt as if she had turned into a skeleton tightly wrapped by Manzhushahua. The petals were part of her flesh and blood and were about to be separated from herself. Her spirit was like a small boat, crumbling in the storm, and her soul About to be lost and dispersed.
"What's wrong?"
until.
The housekeeper's gentle voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
Just as the warm spring sun brought her consciousness back, she suddenly looked away from the red-haired boy.
Christina gasped sharply and felt that her legs were weak.
“Rocky, let’s stop fighting. Let’s give the money back.”
She said to the housekeeper beside her, her voice full of fear and determination.
“Miss Christina, now that I have temporarily broken the contract, I can’t find another player, and I have to pay liquidated damages.”
The hook-nosed wealthy businessman suddenly panicked when he heard this.
Although there were other servants who were originally scheduled to join, he felt that he could not win at all.
“I’ll just pay.”
Christina said without hesitation.
Even though her savings would be wiped out, she would not let the housekeeper face such a dangerous opponent.
“No, I never break the contract.”
Even so, the butler still showed a nonchalant attitude.
“...Can you win?”
The blond lady looked at the housekeeper, her eyes gradually replaced by a trace of hesitation.
Even though I still feel uneasy.
But she knows that housekeepers are not normal, and she also knows that what the players need at this time is support rather than doubt.
ded by
Lan Qi nodded.
…”
After speaking in silence for a long time, Christina nodded slightly, making the hook-nosed wealthy businessman let out a big sigh of relief.
“If you can’t win, call for surrender immediately. Don’t let him hurt you.”
Even though she still had thousands of words in her heart, in the end they only turned into a simple instruction.
"no problem."
Lan Qi agreed, stood up and walked towards the entrance of the Void Gate that was already open in the Artificial Shadow World Arena.
The red-haired boy was speechless, raised his head slightly, his cold eyes revealed again, and then walked into the fighting venue.
Lan Qi followed closely behind and stepped into this endless grassland.
At this moment, the employer of the red-haired boy, a middle-aged nobleman in luxurious clothes, glanced at Christina, seeming to laugh at their courage and decision.
“Christina, you are so brave. I hope your housekeeper can still work normally next week.”
The employer opposite, Viscount Hammond, smiled with interest, his laughter mixed with disdain, and walked towards the coaching bench.
…
Christina glanced at him and felt that the other person was cursing her.
She wished the butler would leave next week.
“Christina, your father lost more than he won against the servants of our family. Of course, our servants today are even more exceptional... It’s a good thing you came, otherwise Kyle would be the one who loses face.”
Viscount Hammond looked at the big screen and said to himself.
Christina stopped paying attention to the other party, and her eyes were firmly fixed on the battle scene.
Because on the multi-directional magic screen of the venue, the [Infinite Phantom Canyon] arena has been opened.
The random stage this time is a wide plain with green grass, and the distant horizon can be seen to the end.
The tranquility was soon broken, and two figures appeared on the grassland, about to start a contest.
There is a minute before the start of the game where neither side can start attacking, and the range of activities is also limited. It is not only the preparation time before the battle, but also a fixed program where players can test or taunt their opponents through words.
However, the red-haired boy didn't care about this part.
His hands were in his pockets, and his eyes did not change, as if everything that was about to happen had nothing to do with him.
His indifference made the air around him seem to freeze.
Compared to the red-haired boy, the housekeeper with brown hair and green eyes on the other side of the grassland remained gentle and elegant as usual.
He stood there, his back straight, as if he was waiting for the arrival of an important guest rather than a life-or-death fight.
“If possible, can you tell me why you have to deal with such heavy blows every time?”
Lan Qi took the initiative to talk to the other party.
He felt that Inoan's behavior was not good.
Normally, he wouldn't talk much with his opponents, but after learning about this player's story and seeing his state, Lanci couldn't help but want to lend a helping hand.
…”
The red-haired boy did not respond, and did not even look at Lan Qi.
“I don’t mean any harm, I just want to provide you with some psychological counseling. I feel that you are under a lot of mental pressure.”
Lanci spoke calmly, with a polite but distant smile on his face.
…”
The red-haired boy raised his hood slightly, as if he felt that the thirty seconds left in the opening scene were particularly long.
Those idiots who were only provocative before were not as annoying as this guy.
He has seen many idiots who provoke him before the game, but they will only become the best seasoning for him to start killing.
The way this guy cared about him really made him sick.
"I'm very concerned about what happened to you recently. You are very irritable and resist my kindness. Even your breathing is full of anger. If you keep holding it in, it may break. I will slowly listen to your story, and of course it will be over. After the game.”
Lanqi, regardless of whether the other party spoke or not, still spoke seriously like a psychiatrist.
“I promise to break your throat so that you will never dare to talk to me again…”
The red-haired boy finally spoke.
“Then if you don’t succeed, I’m going to keep talking in your ears? Or maybe your dreams tonight will be my voice.”
Lan Qi smiled and tilted his head in response.
"Kill you…"
The veins on his forehead throbbed.
The other person kept showing kindness to him, which made him feel extremely sick.
Outside the court, the audience in the stands felt the completely different attitudes between the two players and could not help but hold their breath, anticipating the upcoming battle.
On the grassland, the ominous gray wind suddenly blew up, bringing with it a cold chill, and the game bell rang!
As the wind danced, the figure of the red-haired boy turned into a blurry shadow, instantly swooping towards Lan Qi like a ghost, at an eye-popping speed.
He may be better at spells, but most of his previous victories were based on a small amount of spells combined with physical means to beat the opponent to a **** pulp.
At this moment, the outcome will be decided, and the red-haired boy will completely destroy his opponent.
…”
Faced with this sudden attack, Lan Qi's expression did not change, and he used spiritual magic to suppress the red-haired boy as before.
However, when the mental force field of his stand-in Thalia collided with the red-haired boy, the two actually controlled and offset each other.
No side can gain the upper hand.
“So...you are also a spiritual mage?”
In the flash of lightning, Lan Qi looked at the figure of the red-haired boy and muttered to himself in astonishment.
The spiritual powers of the red-haired boy and Thalia intertwined, collided, and offset in the air. At this moment, time seemed to slow down in their eyes, forming an invisible contest.
This surprised the red-haired boy, but he maintained his usual arrogance. Even if he found that his opponent was not an easy character to deal with, he still did not use his hands, as if such a battle was not enough for him to use all his strength. strength.
“Let’s try two moves.”
The red-haired boy had a hoarse voice floating around his mouth.
"good."
Lan Qi looked at the red-haired boy's posture and responded.
At this time, he also needs to give the other party corresponding respect and let Thalia increase her efforts.
He will also make his own judgment when necessary and cooperate with Thalia.
“So strong.”
Thalia said in her heart.
This was the first time she failed to suppress an opponent in the arena.
However, it’s nothing more than using some real skills.
A jet-black magic power condensed around Lan Qi, and the rock formations on the earth shattered.
Countless huge cracks swayed and extended, turning into an abyss. Then, black flames rose from the ground and enveloped the red-haired boy.
Thalia controlled these black flames, and they spun rapidly, forming a raging dark storm.
The red-haired boy suddenly realized something was wrong.
This is not level 6 magic at all!
Before he could react under the black flames, the black flames eroded mercilessly as if they were alive. The figure of the red-haired boy gradually became blurry, until finally, it completely disappeared with an angry roar. .
The entire battle site fell into a dead silence.
All the audience were silenced by this sudden change.
The black flames gradually dissipated, leaving only a lone victor on the grassland.
I thought it would take half a day to fight.
In the end, Rocky McCarthy won again with one move.
…”
Lan Qi was also a little confused, standing on the bare grassland.
We agreed to discuss it seriously.
As a result, Thalia used her ultimate move without any technical content and knocked out the opponent.
“Sister Tata, it’s too much to hit level six like this.”
He didn't expect Thalia to be so serious.
Originally, he told Thalia not to use magic above level six, otherwise it would be too obvious.
At any rate, they are from the same league, so they should be given some face, and they cannot be treated like they are abusing players from the secondary leagues.
He felt that the other party was indeed at level six.
Thalia directly used the eighth-level magic to hit her opponent, which was really hard.
Tata doesn't have much direct attack magic, and mainly focuses on defensive counterattack. This damaging black flame was learned from Pranay, and it can incinerate most unknown substances.
“Such an opponent is difficult to control. I don’t know what cards my opponent has. It’s safer to win quickly. Do you think my judgment is wrong?”
Thalia responded.
“Yes, yes, you make the decision.”
Lan Qi didn’t dare to deny her.
The main reason is that his mana is not enough.
Otherwise, it’s fine to beat slowly.
As the black flames gradually dissipated, the silence on the battlefield was broken by the audience's exclamations.
The entire branch outside the venue seemed to be stirred up by this sound, and everyone's emotions changed from shock to fanaticism.
They all turned in the direction of Christina, their eyes filled with re-evaluation and respect for this young noble.
After all, in their eyes, the victory in the battle just now was not only a personal victory for the steward, but also a display of the strength of the Earl of Baptiste family.
"this…"
Christina stood in the rest area with disbelief written on her face.
She felt that the red-haired boy and her housekeeper were both unlucky characters in a horror movie.
But his housekeeper seems to be more terrifying than the other party.
So he won.
What kind of world is this?
As long as the curse on your own townhouse is scary enough, aren't you afraid of other horrors coming to your door?
“Miss Christina, thank you so much! As expected of the Baptiste family! From today on, your reputation will definitely surpass that of your brother, Mr. Kyle!”
At the same time, the winning employer, the hook-nosed wealthy businessman, shouted excitedly in the coaching bench to celebrate this sudden victory.
His voice was full of ecstasy, as if the whole world was cheering for their company at this moment.
In contrast, the losing wealthy businessman Viscount Hammond had a gloomy face.
Viscount Hammond stared at the blond lady closely, pursed his lips tightly, and finally squeezed out a few words.
“I really underestimate you, Miss Christina.”
He regretted his error in judgment, and he also fully realized that the villainous daughter of the Baptiste family was indeed well-deserved, and she was not at the same level as her brother!
Not a while.
The two challengers in the artificial shadow world have returned to the venue of the Holy Silver Vine Arena in the real world.
The red-haired boy looked at Lan Qi as if he wanted to eat Lan Qi alive. His hands were shaking, as if he still hadn't accepted the humiliating defeat just now.
The murderous intent in the air made Christina, who was standing far away, feel a chill in her body.
“You clown! Aren’t you guaranteed to win?”
Viscount Hammond, the wealthy financial businessman who lost, angrily ran to the red-haired boy and cursed,
“Your worth has been wiped out! And I promise, you will never receive another match in this Holy Silver Vine Arena!”
Viscount Hammond raised his cane angrily, pointed at the red-haired boy and said.
Although I can get a player's betting money, the loss is still huge compared to the gambling of this business.
The red-haired boy looked at Viscount Hammond. The veins on the back of his hand were floating slightly, but he finally clenched his palm and did not make a move.
At this moment, even Viscount Hammond felt something bad, and the substantial murderous intention made him feel as if he had just passed death.
The red-haired boy left without saying a word.
On the contrary, he no longer showed anger, which made people feel even more creepy.
The other side of the venue.
Wearing a housekeeper's uniform, Lan Qi has returned to Christina, and Christina is discussing payment matters with the hook-nosed wealthy businessman.
But she still looked at the direction the red-haired boy left with some worry.
“It seems like he’s a little miserable now…”
Christina felt slightly guilty.
This guy lost all the money he finally won in one breath.
Moreover, after offending Viscount Hammond, it may be difficult for any employer in this circle to be willing to hire him.
In fact, this red-haired boy is really terrifyingly strong, but Butler Rocky is too weird, so of course he is no match for him.
"It doesn't matter, just think of it as teaching him a lesson. I hope he can restrain his violent temper."
Lan Qi’s smile is like a glimmer of light in a summer night, carrying a gentle power.
The next time you meet him, help him as much as you can.
Lan Qi always felt that when faced with such people, he had no choice but to lend a helping hand.
…
I don’t know how much time passed, but it was already late at night.
The moonlight shines on a dim street at the junction of Parrieu District 6 and Demon Realm District 7, and the lonely street lamp barely illuminates the narrow alley.
This place is far away from the hustle and bustle of the day, with only the occasional distant chirping of sparrows and shadows under the street lamps.
The streets are lined with old buildings, the walls are covered with vines, and most of the windows are closed, as if the residents here have long been accustomed to the silence and shadows of the night.
In such a dim background, a red-haired figure walked alone in the alley.
His footsteps were particularly clear in the quiet night.
His steps slowly stopped, he took out the remaining change from his pocket, and remained silent.
This money may not be enough for a meal tomorrow.
“Brother, do you have anything good with you?”
Suddenly, two burly demon youths walked out of the darkness. They seemed to realize that they had discovered each other and blocked his way.
The two mixed-blood demons were wearing leather jackets. They looked like humans but also had the characteristics of demons. They held weapons with cold light in their hands and approached him with playful smiles on their faces.
"This is a lawless zone. It's located between the cracks. You dare to come here if you have tender skin and tender flesh. Aren't you afraid of being eaten by us?"
The other half-demon grinned, his voice hoarse and full of malice.
However, they did not realize the strength of the red-haired boy blocking them.
The anger and terror of the red-haired boy at this moment was like a volcano about to erupt, but they turned a blind eye.
The moonlight was pale and deserted, shining mottledly on the dilapidated streets through the sparse clouds. It overlapped with the light from the street lamps and illuminated half of the young man's face under his hood.
A cold flash flashed in the red-haired boy's eyes, and the aura exuding from his body began to become more and more dangerous.
“I’ve been having bad luck lately and need someone to vent to…”
He said softly.
“So you are so proactive! What a slut!”
The half-demon youth became even more excited when he heard this.
“You said this is a lawless zone, right?”
"Of course, no matter what we do to you, neither humans nor demons will take care of us, because this is an area that is not under the jurisdiction of both parties."
“Then can you please be killed by me quietly?”
The red-haired boy raised his head, as if he had finally told the other party the answer.
“Asshole, who told you to talk like that?”
Hearing this, the half-demon young man headed by the leader no longer hesitated, clenched his weapon and rushed over.
"Ah."
Under the moonlight, the boy's red hair seemed to be dyed red with blood, making it even more vivid.
His hands slowly pulled out of his pockets.
The next second, there was a loud noise in the alley.
The young man pressed the opponent's head against the wall with one hand. With the sound of his skull breaking, blood spattered onto his face.
A sinister smile appeared on his lips.
The removal of the hood allowed her red hair to fall down, turning her into a red-haired beauty.
Even though her complexion looked a little sickly, the violent magic power in her body quickly incinerated the body of the half-demon youth until half of it was left.
"No, don't kill me, kill me, you will be hunted by the Diamond Gang in the Posen Demon Realm until you die!"
Another demon’s face was splattered with flesh and blood. He was so frightened that he sat on the ground and kept retreating.
However, she acted as if she couldn't hear him at all. She just walked up to him and used the other person as food to vent her anger, punching him into pieces with one punch after another.
She really couldn’t sleep a wink today unless she killed this idiot.
Soon, another scream disappeared completely before it could be heard.
Only a red-haired figure walked out of the alley, and his palms drew five **** lines on the wall.
“Rocky McCarthy…Rocky McCarthy…Rocky McCarthy…”
She kept repeating the name silently, as if she was remembering someone she couldn't forget.
Now on her enemy list, in addition to Loren in the first place, Loren's students in the second place, and Rocky McCarthy in the third place.
Her majestic destruction of Bishop Ivanos and his descent into this state were all caused by worshiping the former two.
She finally changed her name to Inoan to earn some legal currency, and was going to buy medicine in the Posen Kingdom to heal her injuries, and lay dormant for a while to regain her strength. However, she suddenly encountered a shameless guy who was obviously more than the sixth level of black boxing, causing her to lose. Got all the money.
This Rocky McCarthy seemed to be the last straw that broke her heart.
Don't kill this guy...
She will never achieve inner peace!
