Chapter 75

Luolin came to Xixizi's inn once again. As soon as he entered, Xixizi was already waiting for him, standing right in front of that hidden door.

'You're here? Then let's go.'

Xixizi didn't say much and walked straight inside. Luolin followed behind her.

They didn't go to the audience seats but headed toward the backstage area.

'The auction starts tomorrow. Don't forget what you promised me.'

Luolin spoke up, and Xixizi nodded.

'Don't worry. I won't go back on what I've promised. In my line of work, integrity is the most important thing.'

Xixizi said, then looked at Luolin.

'I'll definitely give you the money, but you've also kept our agreement, right?'

Luolin replied. Xixizi nodded with satisfaction.

'Good. It seems you really are a good man. How are your injuries?'

Every day, she would ask about Luolin's injuries, but Luolin felt helpless about it.

'Isn't this all thanks to you?'

Luolin retorted. Xixizi brushed aside a strand of hair from her ear.

'Don't say it like that. I really am concerned about you. If you actually collapse, then everything would be for nothing.'

She said with a smile. Luolin had now fully understood how terrifying this woman was, so he didn't dare underestimate her.

Luolin only wanted to get the money. This was the final step, so he couldn't afford to fall now.

However, Luolin was actually somewhat curious inside.

'Why exactly are you doing this? Just because of interest?'

Luolin asked. If she really had such twisted tastes, Luolin wouldn't be surprised at all.

However, Xixizi shook her head.

'Interest? Perhaps there is some. I can indeed get some pleasure from it, but more than that, don't forget I'm a businesswoman, little brother.'

Xixizi said.

'Do you know that in these past few days, you've already helped me earn quite a bit of money?'

Xixizi said. Only then did Luolin fully understand where this money came from.

'Their bets...'

He had been used as a piece on a gambling board.

However, no wonder she agreed to lend him money—she had already been making money in advance.

But there was nothing Luolin could do about it. All he could do was continue. Right now, all the initiative was in Xixizi's hands.

'Alright, it's about to start. Good luck, Mr. Luolin.'

Xixizi said with a smile again, then waved at Luolin.

Luolin took a light breath, took the mask handed to him from the side, put it on his face, and walked in.

After Luolin walked in, that special iron door immediately closed.

Looking up, Luolin could see the various excited shouts and roars from the audience seats above.

'He's here, he's here! It's starting!'

'Kid, do your best today too!'

'I've bet all my money on you!'

....

At first, Luolin would feel somewhat uncomfortable because of this, but now he has almost completely gotten used to it.

So Luolin didn't have any special thoughts because of these people. He continued to walk forward a few steps, stood still, and quietly waited for the door opposite to open.

Luolin was here naturally as a representative of the 'arena' side.

These past few days, he had to face opponents every day, engage in battles every day, and all of them were true life-and-death battles, extremely dangerous.

Luolin's level had already reached level 11 during these few days.

'Come on.'

Luolin tightly gripped his weapon—that stick that looked like a dead tree branch.

Then, the iron door opposite Luolin also slowly opened. Everyone cast their gazes over, as they also wanted to see who exactly would be this young man's opponent today.

After they saw the opponent's appearance, they all opened their mouths wide.

'What... what kind of monster is that?'

'That's not human, right?'

What walked out from there was clearly not a body type that humans should have.

To be precise, it was a furry monster that could stand on two feet, with its huge crimson eyes wide open.

'Roar!!!!'

With one giant roar, it instead stirred up excitement in everyone.

'Today's mysterious opponent is a huge and violent magical beast—a level 23 'Demon Ape'. What kind of result will occur when facing such an opponent? Everyone, let's wait and see!!'

The host's voice spread throughout the entire venue, and in this kind of place, obviously no one would mourn for Luolin. They only cared about their own matters.

'Holy crap, now this is interesting!'

'Change the bet! I want to change my bet! I bet the Demon Ape will win.'

'Are you kidding? How could anyone possibly defeat such an enemy!'

Luolin was also made to break out in a bit of a sweat.

This Demon Ape's height was a full several meters tall. Its body bore some scars, its feet were bound with iron chains, but even this couldn't offset its oppressive presence.

Fight this thing?

'Damn, you've got to be kidding, right?'
