Today's events left her feeling very frustrated, and she is determined not to let such a thing happen again.
She, Milair, was born for a career in politics.
Milair left.
A short while later, the fat man's men came and took Luo Xiu away.
"Leila, take good care of Miss Nika."
Before leaving, Luo Xiu smiled and said to Leila:
"Just do as I just said, okay?"
Leila nodded vigorously:
"Yes, Master. Please be careful."
Luo Xiu left.
Leila, Tassanya, and Nika, who were left standing there, were left bewildered.
"Miss Nika."
Leila said to Nika:
"My master asked me to ask you if you would like to go into the arena to watch his match."
“If you’d like, we can go in together. If you’d like, Tassanya will stay here with you.”
Tassanya, who was standing to the side, nodded respectfully.
Nika hesitated upon hearing Leila's words.
The entrance fee to the arena costs 1 silver coin, which is no small amount for her, who has been saving up money to go to the city.
Seeing this, Leila walked over to Nika and whispered in her ear:
“Miss Nika, Master said…”
After whispering for a while, Leila's voice returned to normal, and she spoke:
"Of course, it ultimately depends on Miss Nika herself."
After listening to Leila's words, Nika recalled Luo Xiu's performance of tearing apart a second-tier demon bat in the Illusionary Mushroom Forest, and finally nodded vigorously.
at the same time,
Inside the fifth gate.
Behind a hidden door,
There is a room that occupies a very large area.
The room was very cold, and the main atmosphere was dark and damp. The only source of light in the room was two vents on the upper sides of the room.
However, the two ventilation openings did not seem to be very effective, as the air was still filled with a strong, fishy stench, mixed with the smell of feces, urine, and animals.
This is the Monster Arena, where monsters are raised.
Inside the room, dozens of specially made, enormous iron cages were densely packed together.
Inside each iron cage, a black object resembling a cocoon hangs upside down above the cage.
crunch--
The hidden door was pushed open, and someone walked in from the outside.
The external light quickly drew the attention of those inside the iron cages.
Swish swish!
Pairs of scarlet eyes opened from the bottom of those "cocoons," their sharp gazes all shooting towards the people who entered from the outside.
"Squeak! Squeak!"
The "cocoons" cried out in warning.
But this cry was clearly not as intimidating as other monsters.
"Are you calling me 'Mom'?!"
The leader of the group kicked a nearby iron cage.
A loud noise echoed in the room.
The kicked "cocoon" immediately spread its wings, revealing its true form—a demon bat.
It hung upside down on the iron cage, frantically flapping its wings in an attempt to intimidate the people outside.
But this only provoked the leader to act even more violently.
He picked up a specially made, sharp iron rod from beside the door and stabbed it fiercely at the demonic bat.
Dark red blood quickly flowed onto the ground.
The demonic bat eventually slumped into a corner, too weak to make a sound.
This is not the first time this has happened; in the first few times, its resistance was far more intense.
But after so much time, even a creature with low intelligence has learned to submit.
The man in the lead spat and turned to shout at the two behind him:
"Are you two brainless? It's so dark, can't you turn on the lights?!"
The two people behind him immediately lit the oil lamps in their hands.
The flames illuminated the faces of the three people.
The man in the lead was the fat man who had just invited Luo Xiu to participate in the arena.
At this moment, he had completely lost the respect he had shown in front of Luo Xiu, his face filled with hostility and arrogance.
The two people behind him were carrying oil lamps and glass bottles filled with colorful medicines.
"Find a second-tier one, and hurry up! It takes time for the alchemical potion to reach its maximum effect after being injected."
The fat man urged.
"Which one are you looking for, boss?"
A person behind him asked timidly.
"Damn it, we'll definitely go for the fattest one!"
The fat man turned around and delivered a flying kick:
"We're giving it six different kinds of medication today. If we find a skinny dog and it dies from the injections, we'll lock you up in its place, right?"
The man who was kicked nodded repeatedly, and he and another person ran to the far corner of the room and dragged out an iron cage.
Inside this iron cage is a demonic bat with two pairs of wings.
Unlike the first-tier demon bat, this demon bat seemed to be in a coma, its eyes closed, lying flat at the bottom of the cage.
This is because someone comes every day to inject it with an alchemical potion that has a sedative effect.
To prevent it from going berserk and injuring people outside the cage.
The two finished preparing all the injection medications, and the person who had asked the question earlier looked at the fat man again:
"Boss, are you sure you want to inject six types? ... We've never injected this many before. I'm worried that if we inject this demon bat, it will be crippled even if we win."
Another person chimed in:
"Yeah, boss, if they die directly, the loss must be quite significant."
"You guys don't know anything!!!"
The fat man cursed and swore at his two trusted henchmen:
"The supervisor election is at the end of this month, and Morans is putting all his effort into competing with me. He even got someone from the Roland Chamber of Commerce to vouch for him."
"That damn bastard, knowing that if I don't get promoted to supervisor this time, I'll have to wait two years, he still wants to compete with me!"
"He can find people, but can't I? I've already contacted Lady Margarita, and she promised to give me a chance."
"The higher-ups just happen to want to test our latest formula and need a demonstration opportunity, so losses don't matter, understand? We have to win!!"
"As long as the second-tier demon bats demonstrate strength exceeding that of the third tier this time, the higher-ups will increase their attention and investment in our arena, and then the position of manager will naturally be mine."
The two listened with a mixture of understanding and confusion, and began injecting bottle after bottle of potion into the demonic bat's body.
It was visibly true that with each vial of potion injected, the demon bat's body would become more robust.
Until all the medicine was injected, the demon bat's body muscles swelled up, and dark red blood vessels bulged from under the skin, visibly pumping blood.
Even under the two pairs of wings of that demonic bat, two small fleshy growths actually grew.
It looks like the prototype of a third pair of wings.
Because the two people were given a sedative during the injection, the demon bat has not yet shown any signs of waking up.
The fat man looked at the bat's condition and nodded in satisfaction.
This way it's foolproof.
The combination of these six potions is the latest research result from above, and there's no way it will cause any problems. Defeating a third-tier human should be a piece of cake.
As for Luo Xiu being a fourth-tier cultivator, he didn't even consider it. Did he really think that fourth-tier cultivators were as common as cabbages on the street?
Which of these young fourth-tier players wouldn't have already become famous throughout the kingdom? Would they agree to challenge him in the arena?
In his opinion, it was still uncertain whether Luo Xiu was even at the third rank.
but that's okay,
At that time, as long as he increases the publicity efforts for Luo Xiu being a third-tier cultivator and provides some guidance, he can achieve his goal.
When the market opens, adjust the odds and inject any available funds into it.
In this way, even the loss of this second-tier monster was compensated.
Everything will be perfect then.
The supervisor position is already mine!
Thinking of this, the man couldn't help but bend over and burst into wild laughter.
