One day later, You Mansion.
"Father, I still haven't found him." Youfeng frowned, his face terrifyingly gloomy, "I have used all the personnel I can to find my brother, but until now, there is not even a single clue."
On a sofa in the hall, Youyuan stared at a large box of black gold in front of him and said slowly: "You are one of the managers of the Black Sun Camp. Even you can't find someone. Do you think you What is the situation of your brother now?"
Youfeng remained silent.
"Say!" Youyuan's voice was filled with anger.
"If this happens, I'm worried..." Youfeng paused before saying, "There are two situations. The first situation is that he is kidnapped, and the second situation is that he is killed. The first situation has already been I ruled it out because he has been there for several days and we haven’t received any message asking for ransom.”
"That's the second possibility. He was killed?"
"Yes, father, my brother has most likely been killed. None of the guards he took out have returned, and their relatives don't know where they went. It is very likely that they were killed together with his younger brother. "
"Hmph!" Youyuan snorted angrily, and slapped the money box containing black gold. There was a loud bang, and the thick wooden money box suddenly shattered. The wood chips and metal components flew away, and the large black coins also flew out. , fell to the ground.
This box of coins is five million black gold sent by Count Jialan personally.
"Father, calm down." Youfeng said. He looked very sad, but there was no hint of sadness in his voice.
"Feng'er, you wish your brother would die, right?" Youyuan suddenly said this.
Youfeng plopped down and knelt on the ground, "Father, why do you say that to me? My brother and I grew up together. We are brothers, and our relationship has always been very good."
"Your brother is a bastard. He is indulgent and extravagant. He doesn't make a penny, but spends a lot of money every day. He is of no use to this family, he is just a burden. But he is a burden. But he was loved by your mother and will compete with you for family property in the future. Isn't it a good thing for you that he is dead?" Youyuan's voice was cold and without any emotion. He seemed to be talking about other people's affairs, which had nothing to do with him.
Youfeng was silent again, but he had to admit that what his father said was true. Ghost is indeed a waste in this family. Not only does he not make any contribution to the family, but he is also a drag on everything. What makes him even more unbearable is that such a loser is deeply loved by his mother, who wants to divide his general family property in the future! Therefore, the death of Ghost Ghost is really a good thing for him.
"I don't care how you feel now, I just want to know if you tried your best to investigate?" Youyuan said coldly.
Youfeng said: "Father, no matter whether I benefit from my brother's disappearance or death, he is my brother after all, and he is a member of our You family. If someone kills someone from the You family, I will not let it go no matter what. His. How could I not do my best in this matter?"
"Keep checking for me! If you are alive, you will see the person, if you are dead, you will see the body!"
"Yes, Father." Youfeng got up from the ground. He turned and left. After walking a few steps, he stopped and turned to look at his father. "Father, there is one more thing you should know."
"What's up?"
"Did you promise Earl Jialan before giving him the money that our family would quit the Invincible Gladiator Company after giving him the money?"
"Yes, I agreed, but I never thought he could give this money." Youyuan said.
"Invincible Gladiator Company not only gave our family five million black gold, but other shareholders also gave five million black gold. The conditions are the same. Count Jialan is now the sole controller of Invincible Gladiator Company." Youfeng said .
Youyuan frowned, "What do you want to say? You know I hate your Black Sun Camp's style the most. You do everything in a roundabout way."
"Father, under normal circumstances Earl Jialan would not be able to get 40 million black gold at all. Even if he sells all his assets, he will not be able to make up this amount. I think this is why you and other shareholders agreed to his conditions. However, not only did he not sell off his property, he also launched a new duel competition after taking complete control of the Invincible Duel Company."
"oh?"
"The World Championship Duel Competition, the whole city is talking about it now. Earl Jialan has set a bounty of 20 million black gold for this gladiator competition. Now the news has spread to other parts of the empire, I conclude that it will be A gladiator competition that shocked the entire empire." This is what You Feng wants to say.
The news in Youyuan is somewhat blocked, but this is also the normal state of some high-level officials in the empire. They didn't bother to walk around on the streets, let alone use the Blue Moon people's communication equipment. They are all old-school vigilantes with their own style and habits.
"Where did he get so much money?" After a short silence, Youyuan said this.
Youfeng shook his head, "I don't know. I have analyzed various possibilities, but none of them are feasible."
"Go, go to Blood and Sand Castle to investigate for yourself, and then tell me what you saw and heard. No details can be missed." Youyuan said.
"Yes, father." Youfeng turned and left, this time without looking back.
The hall fell silent, without any sound.
Youyuan sat on the sofa and looked at the black gold scattered on the floor. After a while, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "If you kill my son, will I have a powerful opponent? How many years have passed? It’s so boring to live without an opponent…”
If Ghost Izumi had knowledge, how would he feel when he heard his father say such words and saw the smile on the corner of his father's mouth that won his opponent
On the street, a servant of Earl Jialan's family pasted a poster on a poster wall. Before he could leave, a large group of people gathered around him.
The posters posted on the poster wall are about the "World Champion Gladiator Competition" launched by Invincible Duel Company. The huge prize money of 20 million black gold, the title of world champion, and the supreme glory. These words stimulate everyone who looks at the posters. people's nerves.
"I heard that Earl Jialan had lost Yixi, so he started this gladiator competition. Is it to get a new world champion?" someone said.
"It must be true. He lost the imperial championship and he wants to get a stronger world championship. There is nothing wrong with that. I would do the same thing if it were me!" someone said.
"Haha! You? What are you dreaming about? You should first come up with nearly 20 million yuan."
"Are you kidding me that I have no money? Let me tell you, I have a dream and I will definitely succeed!"
"I really don't know who the Invincible Gladiator Company will send to compete after losing Yi Zi Xi."
"I know all the gladiators in the Invincible Gladiator Company, but except for Yi Zixi, I really don't know who else can hold up the table."
"The competition will hold qualifiers in five days. Everyone can participate. Oh my God, I don't know how many strong people will come here after hearing the news. We have something to see!"
Discussions like this have appeared in every corner of Doomsday City, and the "World Champion Gladiator Competition" initiated by Count Jialan has become the hottest topic. Now it's Doom City, and soon it will be the entire Black Sun Empire.
Blood and Sand Castle, indoor training ground.
Xia Lei squatted on the ground, picked up a handful of black sand, and let the sand drip from his hand. He was inexplicably reminded of a movie he had seen. The name of that movie is "Gladiator". His current situation is somewhat similar to the protagonist in that movie. He volunteered to become a gladiator in order to meet Yi Zixi, while the protagonist became a gladiator in order to avenge his wife and children. Gladiator.
In fact, there is also a TV series called "Blood and Sand", which is also about gladiators. The name of that TV series is exactly the same as the name of the castle where he is now. Back then, when he watched it, he never imagined that he would become a gladiator in another world. At this moment, he felt like he was having a ridiculous dream, and this dream seemed to be coming to an end and he would wake up at any time.
Nightingale stood behind Xia Lei, holding a huge war hammer in her hand. The war hammer was completely black, with ripple-like forging patterns on the surface. Each forging pattern was glowing with blue energy, and there was also a lightning logo and the engraved name of "Storm Hammer" in the Night's Watch language.
It was Xia Lei's chosen weapon.
It is said to be almost 10,000 years old and was the weapon of an extremely fierce gladiator 10,000 years ago. The gladiator gathered materials deep in the mountains and forged it with his blood and dark death energy. He used it to hammer down countless opponents and became famous for his fierceness. But when Xia Lei asked him the name of the gladiator, he couldn't tell him. Xia Lei didn't ask any more questions, it was meaningless after all. The reason why he chose this clumsy war hammer was because of its blue energy forging pattern. It was the most ideal hiding place for Shenyue Ruyi.
At this moment, Shenyue Ruyi was hiding in Storm Hammer.
"Hey, what are you doing playing with the sand there?" Shenyue Ruyi's voice came from the Storm Hammer, "You should play with me a few times. I have to get used to it, otherwise flaws will be exposed."
Xia Lei then stood up from the sand, turned around and looked at Nightingale and the Storm Hammer in her hand, and said somewhat speechlessly: "I have to adapt to my new identity. The poem Yi Xi sang when she appeared on the stage is very... Momentum, I wonder if I also need to create a loud name, an atmospheric poem or something, so that people can remember me more easily."
Nightingale smiled and said, "Husband, you should dye your hair or get some fierce tattoos. Not many people are willing to believe that you are mixed race like you are now. You need a new image. I can do both hairstyle and tattoos." Help you get it done.”
"Okay, you have a good idea." Xia Lei said with a smile.
"Hey! Can you think about those things later?" Shenyue Ruyi's voice came from Storm Hammer again, "Come and play with me."
Xia Lei, "..."
Shenyue Ruyi's language skills are really bad, and what's worse is that she doesn't know it yet.
Nightingale threw the Storm Hammer to Xia Lei, "Husband, play with it hard."
Xia Lei's head is getting bigger.
The Storm Hammer weighs five hundred kilograms and is a truly heavy weapon. He waved it casually a few times, creating a whirring wind. The energy contained in the Hammer of the Storm really stirs up the wind and creates the feeling of forming a storm.
But just when Xia Lei was about to let go and have fun with Shenyue Ruyi, Jialan Lingtian suddenly ran in, "Oh no, the eldest son of the You family, You Feng, is here!"
Xia Lei couldn't help but frown.
Even if you play with a hammer, someone will cause trouble!
