Now that his reputation has grown, he may be able to raise 50,000 pounds by hiring 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 fights 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.
Holy 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 bloody 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.
Lanci and Christina came to the rest area dedicated to staff and coaches 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.
Lanci casually admired the building, waiting for the final game of the night to begin.
Not long after, all the screens changed together, and player information was also displayed on them.
[Rocky McCarthy, vs. Ian Hornrenzo]
[Rocky, representative competitor of Winston Watch Manufacturing Co., Ltd., contracted servant of Count Baptiste family, 10 wins and 0 losses]
[Inoan, Hammond Financial Group representative competitor, unsigned servant, 16 wins and 0 losses]
This is the highlight of the night, and it is also a non-points game with a hiring 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 would not want to get involved in the disputes among these Posen aristocratic circles.
Although if she can win, 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 only seventeen years old, he overthrew the elders of rival families.
In addition to displaying competitor information, the screen in the venue is also showing competition terms and detailed documents.
In order to be fair and just, after the employment contracts of both competitors are submitted to the alliance, the alliance will make a public announcement.
"Why is the opponent's contract a super tightrope walker...?"
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.
Christina checked the league records and did a little calculation. It was almost all the money this fighter had made in the past two days.
If they win, the employer will have to pay a very high amount of money.
It is different from a guaranteed contract like Lanqi, which has a commission for winning or losing.
Only absolute self-confidence would sign such a treaty that risks everything, which means that the opponent's competitor has absolute confidence that he can win.
As long as the winning rate is 100% in your opinion, it doesn't matter how big the bet is.
Christina suddenly became flustered.
She was not afraid that Rocky would lose, or that even if Rocky lost, he would 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 at this moment is filled with tension and expectation. The auditorium is filled with people of all kinds, talking in succession and looking hot.
Until five minutes before the game starts.
A figure finally walked out from behind the opponent's coaching bench.
The shadow clings to him 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 juvenile.
The aura of this red-haired young man named Yi Nuoan had the aura of a butcher.
As soon as he appeared, even the noisy crowd in the back row unconsciously fell silent.
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 there was even a moment when 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 briefly met accidentally.
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 opponent's pair of deep purple eyes were 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 happened?"
until.
The housekeeper's gentle voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
As if 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 the contract has been temporarily broken, 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 originally scheduled servants who could join, he felt that he could not win at all.
"I'll just pay."
Christina said without hesitation.
Although it would wipe out all her savings, she would not let the housekeeper face such a dangerous opponent.
"No, I never violate the contract."
Even so, the butler still looked careless.
"...Can you win?"
The blonde lady looked at the housekeeper, her eyes gradually replaced by a trace of hesitation.
Although 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.
"It will win."
Lan Qi nodded.
"..."
After speaking for a long time, Christina nodded gently, which made the hook-nosed wealthy businessman breathe a sigh of relief.
"If you can't win, call for surrender immediately. Don't let him hurt you."
Although 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 also followed closely 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.
"Tsk..."
Christina glanced at him and felt that the other person was cursing her.
She wished the housekeeper 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 out of the question... Fortunately, you are here, otherwise it would be Kyle who loses face. "
Viscount Hammond looked towards 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.
This time the random stage 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 a 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 maintained his usual gentleness.
He stood there, his back straight, as if he were awaiting the arrival of an important guest rather than a life-or-death struggle.
