Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 141: Gladiator

The director explained, "Well, we open an investment account for a first-time customer. This account will be tied to your private account. Whether it's an investment or a winning lottery, we will feed the information back to your bank account in real time."

To put it simply, whether it was a deduction or a win, it would be directly deducted or increased from the customer's bank account.

"Don't bother," said Adele impatiently. "Just tie his investment account to my bank account."

"Miss Adele, we have a real name system. Each customer's bank account can only be bound to one investment account."

'"Isn't this the young master of the Beth Cod family? I thought he was some great person. He's a pretty boy who doesn't even have a million dollars in his bank account and can only eat the soft food of the Mawson family's eldest young miss."

A burst of laughter.

Alan snorted and turned around to see Diego. He was dressed in an exaggerated fur coat, smoked on his face, hugged a beauty to his left and right, and looked at Alan provocatively.

"So it's Young Master Diego, who can't even block my three strikes. Why did he bump into him so coincidentally? Why don't we go in and play a few moves?" Allen said, revealing the truth.

Diego snorted, "My hands itch too. It's a pity that I don't have my weapon with me. You want to fight again, another day. But now, you better get out of the way. Since you can't make that fool of yourself, you should go home quickly, so you don't have to lose face with Beth Cod here."

"Then I'm afraid I'll disappoint Young Master Diego. I'll definitely go in today." Alan reported his bank account to the supervisor. The supervisor took out a tablet and operated it a few times. He nodded to Alan and said, "I've tied it up for you. Please come in, Young Master Alan. Have a good evening."

Adele immediately made a face at Diego and walked in with Ellen in her arms, leaving Diego behind who was so angry that he was smoking. As she walked, Adele whispered, "That fellow Diego is scared of you. With his narrow-mindedness, how can he allow others to provoke him face to face, let alone say something like fighting another day?"

Indeed, as Adele had said, after the autumn hunt, Diego had consulted the guard captain, Langdon. After listening to Diego describe Allen's stunning three slashes, Langdon told him very clearly. His temperament and fighting style were completely different from Allen's. If he scored with a hundred strikes, then the two of them would definitely be evenly matched. However, if the number of moves was limited to three or five moves, the one who would lose would definitely be Diego.

That was why Diego knew that Ellen had just spoken out loud. Unless one didn't count the number of strikes and decided whether to live or die, they wouldn't be able to defeat Alan in three or five moves, so they directly rejected him.

The sound of footsteps came from behind. Diego stabbed past Alan and lowered his voice. "It's a pity that Autumn Hunt didn't leave you in the Whispering Forest."

Alan nodded and said, "Indeed, and look, this regret will continue to grow. In the end, you can only regret it for life."

"Is that so?" Diego laughed strangely and spread out his hands, "Then I'll wait, kid."

After saying that, he wiped his daughter away.

After Diego left, Alan looked at the venue. The venue for the secret duel was very open, roughly several thousand square meters. In this vast space, it was an open design. Under the dim light, tables and chairs seemed to be placed casually, so that guests could sit down and rest no matter where they were. Sexy maids dressed as bunnies roam the guests, holding a plate of wine, drinks and snacks in their hands.

In this large venue, there were only six pillars of intense light that shot towards the ground. Under the light, all of them were square-shaped cages constructed from laser beams. In the light cage, there were gladiators fighting to the death. Their occasional spectacular performances would win a burst of exclamation from the nearby spectators, but they would not be able to imagine the scene of the spectators shouting crazily for them in the ordinary arena.

The spectators would only quietly invest their money in the hotel staff near each arena, and then whisper to each other with their wine glasses in hand, as if the life and death of the gladiators in the arena had nothing to do with them.

Even if they bet millions on these gladiators.

Gladiators were mostly humans, but there were also a small number of aliens. Those arenas where humans and aliens were fighting each other were usually surrounded by the most guests, in order to stimulate their desire to watch the battle. Not only would the hotel arrange for gladiators like aliens, sometimes dangerous species would be captured from the surface to participate in the battle. That scene was even more bloody.

Gladiators are tools used by hotels to make money. If any guests like them, they can also pay for them. Amongst the nobles, there was no shortage of holding some private fighting competitions. To these gladiators, it was just a change of arena, and their nature had not changed much.

After Aaron and Adele went around the arena, Leon came to them. The William family's young master came to them with a glass of wine in his hand and smiled. However, he lowered his voice and said, "The few people I suspected before couldn't see anything strange. Now, I don't know who was behind the scenes."

"Really? I don't think it's that easy to find out." Alan added, "We ran into Diego outside just now."

"Are you alright?" Leon asked.

Adele rolled her eyes and said, "That coward doesn't dare to accept Alan's challenge now."

Leon laughed and said, "It's a good thing, but we can't be careless. My two brothers are here too, right behind me in the second floor."

After saying that, he turned around and raised his cup in the shadow of the venue behind him. Leon still smiled and said, "Even the city is here. I'll go find him to accompany me. If there's anything you need to know, just let us know. If you lose the bet within ten million yuan, it's up to me. If it exceeds me, there's nothing I can do, because that's all I can get."

Leon looked at Adele again. "Of course, Adele must be richer than me."

"Hurry up and leave. Don't keep remembering how little pocket money I have." Adele said unhappily.

Leon left without hesitation.

Alan looked in the direction of the toast he had just given him, and suddenly smiled brightly, and dragged Adele away.

With a cracking sound, it was the sound of the glass falling to the ground. Diego clenched his fists and said, "This kid is provoking me!"

He was currently in a private room, the other side of the room facing the venue, directly connecting the balcony and the room. It allowed the distinguished guests in the private room to see what was happening in the venue. On the left side of the private room was a TV wall. The six light screens were arranged in two rows and three sides, each corresponding to a stage. In the private room, it was very convenient to see any match on the arena.

The room is equipped with waiters and staff, and guests can cast (stakes) directly in the room instead of crowding the venue.

In the two sofas behind Diego, Paul and the card artisan brothers each hugged a bunny and played around. Seeing that Diego was angry, Paul lazily said, "That Allen is indeed a good hand. I had someone kill that bitch Adele. Unexpectedly, this Allen stayed with her, but instead of succeeding, he lost one person. Diego, it's not wrong for you to lose to him last time."

Diego suddenly turned around and said, "Paul, I can't swallow this. That brat is just a branch of Beth Cod."

"Brother Diego, your information is too bad." The card artisan touched the rabbit girl's face and casually said, "Our third brother has already investigated. That Alan is not a side branch, but the grandson of Patriarch Horn." His mother's name was Lanny, Horn's youngest daughter. "Back then, the matter of Horn chasing his daughter out of the clan caused a lot of trouble in the city. Now that his daughter has not been found, she has found a grandson. Old Horn is precious."

'"That's right. It's just because of the rules that I made. Old Horn can't directly add this grandson to the Blood Family. I have to give him a collateral status. But looking at his current trend, I bet that as long as he becomes a student of Windsor Belo, Old Horn and the Council of Elders will immediately agree to let him join the Blood Family. At that time, his status may not be lower than yours." Paul said.

Diego snorted, "Could it be that I can't find this place just like that?"

The card artisan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Why don't I help you beat this kid up?"

Paul rolled his eyes and said, "Come on, card artisan, you and Diego are on par. You can't do anything he can't. You weren't there that afternoon. If it was you, you would be able to block that brat's three slashes?"

The card artisan said embarrassedly, "If it was changed to ten blades, he might not win so easily."

After saying that, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. Changing from ten blades to three blades was no different from admitting defeat. Paul nodded his head and said, "Look at you guys. How dare you call yourself a famous family? You can't use your brains. You fight people all day long. What's the difference between you and a martial artist?"

"Alan, I admit that even if it was my own fate, it was only the difference between three blades and four or five blades. But if I want him to make a fool of himself, I don't have to fight with him." Paul shook his head and said, "Where are we now? Isn't it the secret duel arena? That brat uses his saber so badly, but does he have the money? So look, pick a match and challenge him to a bet. It would be best if he agreed. If he didn't dare, wouldn't you find the arena in front of so many people?"

Diego's eyes lit up and he happily said, "I still have 12 million in my account."

"I have eight million." The card artisan patted Diego on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's use the money to block him."

Paul waved his hand and let the rabbit girl sit beside him. "I won't accompany you. Have fun and embarrass Ellen, and let Leon down!"

This was his real plan.
