Chapter 24 The Underground Boss

  The next day, the day of my performance finally arrived. Zhang Dekai got up early and fed me. I knew that a fierce battle was ahead, so I didn't care about anything else and swallowed the food he threw down in one gulp.

  But just for a moment, I felt weak all over: "Damn it, this guy has drugged me again. What kind of drug is this that I couldn't even detect?"

  This medicine is really potent. I should know, given how sensitive my senses are now, but I didn't detect even a hint of the anesthetic on the food.

  When I lay there motionless, Zhang Dekai finally opened the large door of the cage and dragged me out with his assistant, putting me in an iron cage on a pickup truck.

  "After putting it down, Zhang Dekai said another sentence: "How did this snake grow so fast? Half a month ago when I brought it back, it wasn't as heavy as this. Today, it almost couldn't be dragged by us all! Tsk tsk! It's really an oddball."

  The car sped away, and it wasn't until an hour later that I was taken to the underground arena in Zhangtong City. The arena is located in a place called Wenyue Mountain Villa on the outskirts of Zhangtong City. This place is not only secretive but also extremely luxurious. It's said that it was originally built by a big boss named Guo Yongjia.

  Guo Yongjia's identity is very mysterious, and it is said that he is the posthumous son of a high-ranking official in the province. He built this underground arena just for his own interest and hobby, without thinking about making money from it. According to rumors, the annual income of this underground arena can reach hundreds of millions.

  In fact, this underground arena is not only famous locally, but also in several provinces near the south, it is also famous for its reputation. Every time there is a large-scale beast fight, those officials and business tycoons will rush over to participate.

  When Zhang Dekai drove the car to the front of the villa, several security guards stopped him and conducted a check. Fortunately, Zhang Dekai had the membership card given by Liu Zhengzhong, otherwise he wouldn't even have been given the opportunity to be checked.

  It's actually normal, everyone who comes here is a big shot in society, if the security isn't handled well and something goes wrong, no one can bear the responsibility.

  After the inspection, Zhang Dekai drove the car into the parking lot inside and then called Liu Zhengzhong to ask someone to carry the iron cage in.

  Zhang De Kai also felt a sense of emotion, if this time the snake could win and get the championship, he might have a chance to squeeze into this circle.

  At this time, in a presidential suite inside the mountain villa, a middle-aged man was sitting on the sofa sipping tea. From his facial expression, he looked like an honest person, but his eyes revealed a shrewdness, looking like a very trustworthy businessman.

  And this man is the builder of this underground arena, Guo Yongjia. As his business grew bigger and bigger, he no longer had the energy to manage this arena, so he handed it over to his younger brother Guo Kaijia to take charge, and he only came to take a look in his spare time.

  "Brother, how come you have time to come over?" Just then, a voice came from the doorway, it was Guo Kaijia.

  Guo Yongjia turned his head and looked at his younger brother with a hint of a smile, saying "What, can't I come over?"

  Guo Kejia's face changed slightly, and he forced a smile, saying, "Brother, what kind of joke are you telling? This child was originally yours, I'm just helping to take care of it for you. How did it become mine in your words? It's really embarrassing."

  Kuo Yongjia's face stiffened for a moment, this guy was still arrogant, and with a wave of his hand, he said, "Looking at your attitude, next time you come here, even if the boss has changed, I won't be surprised."

  Guo Kejia took a look at his brother's expression and felt relieved, just about to speak when Guo Yongjia waved his hand and said, "Shut up, be serious for once. Who told you to play a dark match? You've turned my good arena into what kind of place!"

  "Brother, I'm just trying to make some extra money for you, okay? The membership fees alone aren't even enough to cover the rent! I'm not..."

  "Don't make excuses for me!" Guo Yongjia suddenly roared, punching the wall with a backhand, and instantly, spider web-like cracks spread across this entire block of hard marble, scaring Guo Kejia so much that she couldn't help but tremble.

  "How much money is a Light Member worth? With that amount of money, you can host several grand banquets at the Sea Sky Restaurant, and yet you're still not satisfied?" Guo Yongjia waved his hand, took the towel handed over by the bodyguard beside him, and wiped himself clean. To everyone's surprise, there wasn't a single mark or injury on his hands. Guo Kejia and the surrounding bodyguards all secretly swallowed their saliva.

  "You, do you know why I don't let you participate in underground racing?" Guo Yongjia leaned on the sofa and asked his younger brother.

  Guo Kejia didn't dare to sit, but only said: "I don't know about these things, but I only know that if we follow your old honest method, the money we make in a year won't even be enough to cover our costs. Do you know how many billions of dollars are circulating outside, saying that our underground arena can make every year? But do you really have any idea whether we're making a profit or not?"

  Guo Yongjia shook his head, looking at his brother with some disappointment and said: "A Yao, don't you still understand what makes the most money in this underground arena?"

  "Brother, the most profitable thing is what I did before. Listen to me, brother, if you do it my way, you can earn at least 200-300 million a year." Guo Kaijia said excitedly when his brother asked him.

  But unexpectedly, Guo Yongjia shook his head and said: "Old Three, you really disappointed me. You're still stuck on a mere two or three hundred million? After following me for so long, you still haven't learned anything!"

  Guo Yongjia said with some resentment, "I opened this arena not to make money, but for those spectators outside. What kind of people are they? I think you should know too. If it weren't for them, what's the difference between our mountain villa and any ordinary one?"

  Guo Yongjia took a sip of tea and continued: "You think their real purpose for coming here is to watch the game and have fun? Wrong, actually they come here because this is a social club for these high-society people. Sometimes they just chat casually in the VIP room and it can change their lives. I originally wanted you to gain some experience and then hand over the management of this place to you, but unexpectedly, you've disappointed me."

  After finishing teaching Guo Kaijia, Guo Yongjia sighed and changed the subject, asking: "What's tonight's finale?" The reason why this arena is so popular is that they come up with new tricks every month to attract the audience's attention, such as cheetahs fighting wild boars, or mutated rats battling bulldogs.

  Seeing his brother no longer scolding him, Guo Kaijia secretly let out a breath of relief and replied: "Tonight's final match is a private beast fight between Liu Shao and Jiang Shao. Last month, Liu Shao lost, so I heard that he got a giant python somewhere to try and regain the upper hand from last time."

  "Oh? It's those two, then you must be extra careful not to lose face because of one of them and cause trouble inside." Guo Yongjia was also very frustrated with these arrogant and ruthless young masters.

  "Don't worry, bro. Although these people are a bit ruthless, they also care about their reputation, so they shouldn't be so unrefined as to cause trouble inside." Guo Kaijia may look like a weak scholar on the surface, but after being in this circle for a long time, he has gradually figured out the character of these young masters.

  After I was carried away by them, I was placed in a feeding room. After a long time, I gradually recovered my physical strength. It seems that the medicine he used this time is lighter, and also afraid of affecting my combat effectiveness afterwards.

  I took a look around the feeding room, which was quite spacious. Inside, there were all sorts of animals, including rhinos, polar bears, and even some gigantic wild beasts that I couldn't name, as if I had entered an animal kingdom.

  But I could feel that these animals, compared to those in the wild, had an extra hint of ferocity and a violent aura, clearly having undergone cruel life-and-death training at the hands of humans.

  Suddenly, I felt a fierce aura coming over me. I turned my head to look and saw that in the corner was an iron cage with a wild wolf locked inside. But it was different from ordinary wolves - its mouth was longer, its eyes were slanted upwards, its limbs were thinner and longer, and its fur was made up of several different colors mixed together. Especially its gaze, not only did it reveal a hint of ferocity, but I also faintly felt that its gaze showed a hint of human-like intelligence.
