Chapter 231: Yu Qiushui
This time meeting Zhang Ze was not at the teahouse.
But in a messy place.
The two stood on the rooftop.
Looking around.
High and low cement buildings, with antennas tangled above.
The streets below were shabby, rundown, and crowded.
However, vendors and pedestrians coming and going made the place bustling and lively.
This place was similar to where Zeng Shan’s family lived in Guangling City.
These are all old, run-down places.
It seems that whether it’s the big cities on the surface in the past, or the underground city now.
There are always some corners, for those not so shiny souls to settle.
“I like it here.”
Zhang Ze said with a grin, “I climbed my way up from places like this.”
“Do you eat dog meat?”
He pointed in a direction, “There’s a shop over there where they make good dog meat hot pot.”
“I’ll take you there when we have time.”
Luo Yan glanced indifferently.
Then he asked, “Who should I kill?”
Zhang Ze chuckled, “You’re really impatient.”
“But young people are like that.”
“It’s also good, not dragging things out.”
He took out a tablet, handed it over, and added, “But do you have confidence in winning against tonight’s opponent?”
“Tonight’s opponent is not simple.”
“This guy known as ‘Mysterious Tortoise’ also has a nickname called ‘Iron Turtle’.”
“His tactic is to hide himself in a turtle shell, practicing a tough fighting technique.”
“Plus a thick shield and a heavy spear.”
“Being in an unbeatable position, they could freely launch attacks.”
“Many people have regretted using his tactics.”
“The spectators in the underground arena don’t like him, but unfortunately, no one has been able to defeat him.”
Luo Yan didn’t answer, he took the computer and started reading.
There was a woman on the screen.
She had black, asymmetrical shoulder-length hair.
Her features were soft, with long, straight eyebrows.
Her eyes were bright, like a pool of autumn water.
She was dressed in a white suit, with a unique charm.
“Is this my goal?” Luo Yan asked with a lifted head.
Zhang Ze nodded, “Yu Qiushui, the owner of Red House, and the organizer of the underground arena.”
“Every year, she scouts for talented fighters in the underground arena, if you win tonight’s match.”
“Yu Qiushui will meet you, and then you can kill her for me.”
“I’ll give you 10 million.”
Luo Yan returned the tablet, “Same old deal, 5 million upfront, rest after it’s done.”
“Deal.”
Zhang Ze took out his phone to make the payment, “Don’t you want to know why I want her dead?”
“No need.”
“As long as you have money, it’s okay.”
After saying that, Luo Yan looked at Zhang Ze.
Of course.
In fact, he was reading the man’s thoughts.
Great, I like people who only care about money and nothing else.
If I kill Yu Qiushui, the Captain of Team 1, I will face less resistance in becoming the department head.
As for that person from Team 3, I will kill them if I have the chance, but it doesn’t matter if I don’t.
Once I take over Team 1, who else in the department can be my rival?
My era is finally about to begin.
Beep.
The phone rings.
6 million in the account.
Luo Yan glanced at Zhang Ze.
Zhang Ze smiled and said, “I prepaid tonight’s showdown, I have confidence in you.”
In the past three weeks, Luo Yan participated in eight showdowns and won 800,000.
Now with an additional 6 million.
In his anonymous account, he now has a total of 6.8 million.
Enough to buy a ‘superior reliever’.
Thankfully, the Giant Beast Strategy Manor agreed to provide me with a ‘superior reliever’ for free as long as I assist in investigating ‘Heiwu’.
Otherwise, all the hard-earned money would only be used for survival.
Put away the phone.
Luo Yan went downstairs.
Zhang Ze called out, “Let’s have hot pot together tomorrow night.”
Luo Yan did not reply.
That night.
Red House.
Underground arena.
“Come, come, buy it now, or let it go.”
“Tonight’s battle between ‘Red Ghost’ and ‘Xuanwu’, who will prevail, ‘Red Ghost’s sharpness or ‘Xuanwu’s tough shell.”
“Tonight, the truth will be revealed.”
The match on the arena has not yet started.
The atmosphere has reached a fever pitch.
For the past three weeks, ‘Red Ghost’ has been undefeated in battles.
No matter the opponent, they all fell to the blade!
Delighting the audience.
But tonight, the outcome is uncertain.
After all, ‘Black Tortoise’ has been undefeated for a long time, and the turtle technique is still unbeatable.
Overall, the chances of winning are higher.
Therefore.
The odds for ‘Red Ghost’ are also higher.
The viewing platform above the arena is brightly lit tonight.
It won’t be long.
The door opened, and a woman in an all-white suit walked in.
These women all had long hair tied back into ponytails that reached their waists, and each was carrying a Tang sword.
They lined up on both sides of the room.
Afterwards, a figure walked in.
With shiny black hair, eyes like autumn water.
It was Yu Qiushui, the Captain of Team 1 in the ‘Black Abyss Department’.
Yu Qiushui, who appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, had a slim figure, gentle features, and a smile on her lips.
She sat down on the long sofa.
Looking into the collar of the suit, delicate collarbones and faintly visible white chest could be seen.
There seemed to be no other clothing under the suit.
Like a man, she took out a lady’s cigarette, and a man in a white suit lit it for her.
Yu Qiushui then exhaled smoke.
“The Red Ghost.”
“Where did it come from?”
At this moment, a woman from the bar brought over a plate, placed a palm-sized porcelain jar on a spirit lamp to heat it up, and then arranged a small white porcelain cup.
Another woman stepped forward and reported, “Adventurers and poachers from the surface.”
“Active in multiple bases and forbidden areas.”
“Only recently arrived in Qingyang City.”
“Rented a warehouse and owns a modified camper van.”
Yu Qiushui waved her hand gently.
Using two slender fingers, she lifted the porcelain jar and poured the clear liquid into the cup.
The smell of alcohol filled the air immediately.
It was originally a bottle of dry white wine.
“Interesting,” she said.
She lazily picked up the small porcelain cup.
“If he wins tonight, he should come see me.”
After saying that, she slowly finished the wine in the cup.
At that moment.
The host of the fighting arena walked out, gave a brief speech, and didn’t waste any words.
He shouted loudly.
“Now that the battle has begun, let’s scream and cheer.”
“Please welcome our champion, Xuanwu!”
At that moment.
The lights in the hall were switched off, then a spotlight shone on an exit pathway.
Shadows moved in the darkness, and after a moment, a burly figure emerged.
It was the champion ‘Xuanwu’!
The man was clad in intricate and heavy black armor, but tonight, the armor had additional sharp spikes.
These things could pierce through the body, creating holes with each strike.
Even if not struck fatally, without timely treatment, excessive bleeding could lead to death.
Aside from the armor, Xuanwu also carried a thick shield and a heavy gun that shoots bullets.
Armed to the teeth.
When he walked out, instead of cheers, he was met with boos.
“Damn it, Xuanwu, are you even a man? Dare to take off your armor and fight, just one fight!”
“Damn it, this thing won’t act like a turtle tonight, it will act like a hedgehog. I’m starting to worry about ‘Red Ghost’.”
“Referee, this is unfair, why does my ‘Red Ghost’ have to fight this turtle? Let him take off this turtle shell before he competes!”
Faced with the boos, Xuanwu remained unmoved.
Laughing inwardly.
You guys don’t understand a thing.
You have to be standing to make an impact.
Being alive is what makes you a winner.
Is showing off useful?
I may be shabby, but I live long.
