Tang Zhishen’s lips twitched, and he sneered, "Boss Xu, I don't mind shutting you down for half a year."
Xu Qian felt a chill all over her body, realizing President Tang was truly angry.
The consequences of his anger were severe.
Xu Yun broke out in a cold sweat, trembling, "I'll go check right away."
The man glanced at the arena and said indifferently, "Stop this match."
"Yes."
Just as Yu Ping was about to be thrown to the ground, a sharp whistle sounded.
"Stop the match!"
Immediately after, a group of people in brown work uniforms rushed out from the side entrance of the arena, quickly controlling the mutated bull. Several people took turns suppressing it, and it finally calmed down after an injection to its neck.
Yu Ping lay on the ground, gasping for breath, her heart still pounding wildly from her near-death experience.
Her life was saved, but the prize money was lost.
Even Xu Qian, who didn't understand much, realized what was happening. The arena was rigged, a setup.
It was no fun anymore.
"A Shen, let's go."
The man was taken aback, knowing he had spoiled her mood.
She had seemed to be enjoying herself just moments ago.
He put down his phone and gently held her in his arms.
"Baili is up in the next match, and it's guaranteed to be fair when he fights."
Xu Yun wouldn't dare to scheme against his people.
"Besides, Baili's matches are worth watching. With so many people here today, most of them came for him."
Xu Qian's eyes lit up. Baili Xingchi, the ninth of the top ten powerhouses.
The man secretly breathed a sigh of relief and softly asked, "Anything else you want to eat?"
"No more."
She was afraid Tang Zhishen would spoil her into a pig. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were delivered punctually every day, with different dishes and excellent taste.
Sometimes there was also afternoon tea and supper, but she never saw the delivery person.
She had asked, and A Shen said he didn't like outsiders entering the house.
Then what about her?
President Tang's thoughts were inscrutable.
The mysteriously ended fight caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the audience, with boos erupting.
Soon, a host came on stage to appease them, announcing that there was a problem with the mutated bull, all bets would be refunded, and they would receive a free ticket for tonight.
Only then did the crowd grudgingly quiet down.
"Baili is here."
The man leaned very close, his breath warm against her ear.
However, Xu Qian had no attention for him now, as Baili Xingchi had entered the arena, and his opponent was the flamboyant Xie Shi!
"Xie Shi and Baili Xingchi?"
"Yes, they occasionally come out to earn some money."
Xu Qian: ...
Baili Xingchi was different from what she imagined. She thought he would be a dashing and heroic man, but instead, his black hair was as messy as a bird's nest, his face was so dirty she couldn't see it clearly, and he was chewing on a blade of grass in his mouth.
Xie Shi, on the other hand, was handsome, neatly dressed in a common white shirt and casual pants.
"Come on, Baili, it's been a while since we fought."
Xie Shi grinned slyly. Baili Xingchi hated people like him the most, hypocritical.
He spat out the grass, his palm clenched, and metal elements in the sand shifted, quickly forming a long saber in his hand.
Xu Qian's dark eyes widened slightly. Metal-based abilities were rare, and even rarer were such powerful metal-based abilities.
Normal metal-based ability users could manipulate any aspect of metallic matter, but he could gather even minuscule amounts of metallic energy.
Incredibly powerful!
The man, unaware, quietly pulled the young woman onto his lap, feeling a pang of jealousy.
He was a triple ability user: space, strength, and transformation. Even facing them, he wouldn't necessarily lose.
The fight had already begun on the arena. A lightning ability user and a metal ability user – one could imagine the intensity.
