Chapter 27

In this place, Zheng Chen was very restrained, always leaving after making a profit, never wasting any extra effort. Naturally, the boss of the gambling arena looked at him with increasingly sinister eyes.

Since it wasn't a legitimate operation, anyone who couldn't stand it could be eliminated directly!

So when Zheng Chen decided to visit for the last time, he... was stunned.

"Hmph, you want to leave after winning so much money from me? Fine, just leave the Holy War Angel by your side," the gambling arena boss said with a light sneer, puffing on a cigar, "According to my information, you don't have a contract with her. In that case, leaving the money you won will spare your life."

Is it really like that?

Without a word, Zheng Chen turned and left. Since this fat man had made his choice, he wouldn't wait any longer. What followed would require more effort, threats?

He was least afraid of threats!

If he had time to threaten, he might as well take action.

"Are you not going to stop him from leaving?" A woman half-lay beside the gambling arena boss, asking softly.

"Leave? Now that he's appeared, can he really leave?" The boss sneered, taking a deep puff of his cigar, "I just want to take back the money!"

Zheng Chen had won a lot of money in the underground gambling arena. If he were to be killed here, who knows where he would hide the money?

"He won't get away!"

"No... don't..." A soft murmur sounded in Zheng Chen's ear. Turning the corner, Zheng Chen saw a heated scene at the stairwell.

One of the people he had encountered before was there, Badi, the lowest-level guardian of the underground casino, who was always easily defeated by him. The other girl was a maid from this place. From the edge of her short-sleeved right arm, Zheng Chen saw a deep blue gem.

Different from the peacock green gem on the head of the blue-haired girl, but girls with such gems were Holy War Angels.

Reaching out to grab Badi's long hair, Zheng Chen pressed his head against the stair railing with force as he woke up in shock! This scene made the curly-haired girl close her eyes tightly, the dull sound making her shudder.

Badi's head bled profusely, and he slumped like a piece of trash, which Zheng Chen casually threw aside. Without looking back, Zheng Chen turned and left.

"...Thank you."

Hastily pulling back the torn clothes and lifted skirt, the maid girl carefully avoided Badi, whose head was still bleeding, and said softly.

"Uh-huh."

Then a girl in tight combat gear arrived. Seeing Badi lying on the ground and Liliya's disheveled clothes, her face turned extremely pale, "Damn bastard!!"

If Badi's condition wasn't so terrible, she would have kicked him a few more times!

"Liliya, let's go back," Lassadi said through gritted teeth, waiting a bit longer... a bit longer, and they could leave this place!

During this time, she had worked hard because the underground casino had a special challenger, similar to her, not relying on the power of a Holy War Angel but easily defeating ordinary users.

For example, Badi, who a few days ago could still hold his own against Zheng Chen, but recently, as soon as the gambling match started, he was defeated in one move.

Even so, the opponent hadn't revealed his full strength, a very difficult opponent. Even though he hadn't challenged her, she didn't think he wouldn't, so she trained with several times the intensity.

She couldn't have any accidents during this critical period, for the sake of her crying sister, she couldn't lose!!

"Sister, that person..." On the way back, they encountered Zheng Chen. They just glanced at each other and passed by. Lassadi noticed that the other party was in a very alert state, and it seemed Liliya knew him, but he didn't stop.

"Did he save you?"

Liliya nodded slightly, and Lassadi's face turned a bit pale. The opponent she cared about was Zheng Chen, "Try to avoid him as much as possible, he's very dangerous."

When Zheng Chen left, he was not only alert but also carried a faint aura of killing intent. What was the reason?

"Hey, it's Lassadi, going home so early? Want to play with us?" A dozen men emerged from the woods, licking their lips when they saw Lassadi, their eyes lingering on Liliya, full of teasing, "How about with your sister? You need comfort after all the fighting, right?"

"Are you sure?" Pulling Liliya behind her, Lassadi took a step forward, her face wild like an angry lioness, "You're too few, I'm enough, want to try? I guarantee you won't be able to move tomorrow!"

These men were also part of the gambling arena boss's underground forces, and Lassadi had seen them a few times.

"...I won't waste time with you, we have work for the boss." The thug, intimidated by Lassadi's aura, hesitated for a moment and immediately chased after the direction Zheng Chen had left. This woman was well-known in the underground casino, and her sister was a sore spot; anyone who dared to touch Liliya would face this terrifying woman.

"Sister." Nana pulled on Lassadi's sleeve, worried.

Lassadi shook her head, "It's not our business."

"But..."

"No buts! These people won't be coming back, we don't need to get involved."

When Zheng Chen revealed his killing intent, it sealed their fate.

As expected, the next day, a new news item appeared in the newspaper. However, compared to the previous mass murder of over fifty people, today's dozen was just a drizzle, but it still made the local authorities dizzy.

Can't you take a break?

Although these people weren't good, at least clean up after the deed. Leaving them there for others to see is bad for the image.

Too outrageous!

So the bounty on Zheng Chen increased...

Since he already had a lot of murder cases on his head, if they couldn't find the killer, they could just add it to his head. Who knows, maybe he did it!

"Damn!! How is this possible?!" Hong Tao, browsing a forum, saw a new post and couldn't help but widen his eyes. The post was about Zheng Chen's new actions.

This NPC, who made him grind his teeth, had killed another dozen people. Although they were natives, why were there so many likes?

Looking at the replies... tsk, Zheng Chen had become a heartthrob among some female players. Plus, many players knew he did it for another female native... well, a decisive protector?

Damn, not like this!

"Hey!! Are the people you hired useless? No news yet!" Hong Tao couldn't help but call again, "What? Need more time? That NPC is very cautious. Damn, wait, wait, wait, I'll pay more, I need to get rid of him in three days!!"

"Uh... too brutal, too brutal, such a rogue can't be allowed to run free. Tonight, we'll go there!!" Xiska sipped her coffee and read the fresh newspaper, now quite relaxed, thanks to Zheng Chen, the lack of funds was replenished with support from the main branch.

"Where?" Long Wei asked curiously.

Xiska pointed to the map, clearly the location of the church ruins.

"Huh? This place?" Kude's eyes flashed with understanding; he had been to this gambling arena with the Sky Pirate gang when he was young.

"The identities of the dead have been investigated, and they are related to an underground casino here. Hmph, that guy has finally shown his hand. Tonight, we'll set a trap for him, and while we're at it, we'll shut down this underground casino that gambles with Holy War Angels!"

"Tonight, we leave here."

Zheng Chen bought information from the underground forces, and there would be a ship leaving for the Wulu Xionai continent tomorrow. They couldn't leave through official channels, so they had to sneak out.

But the route... a bit of force could always find it!

It was still the underground casino, but this time Zheng Chen didn't participate in the fighting. Even the money he earned was almost spent on securing the route and replenishing supplies. Buying illegal items was very expensive!

Bargaining?

Who cares in the black market, buy it or not, if you don't want it, someone else will. In the black market, he replenished a lot of supplies, including powerful explosives. Zheng Chen didn't expect that these items could also be absorbed by the patterns, though they couldn't be refined, they could be stored.

Since they couldn't be refined, he chose the most powerful ones.

Zheng Chen was now like a small mobile artillery platform, as long as he had enough preparation time.

Tonight, Zheng Chen also wore a cloak...

Oh? This guy is in disguise? The players who saw Zheng Chen's outfit couldn't help but be stunned. Since the player base was large, some idle players synchronized the events to the forum in real-time.

'Based on my years of experience, something will definitely happen here tonight. I advise players who aren't strong enough to leave quickly.' Someone immediately analyzed and replied.

The system's recording was very clear, so if a player broadcasted, it was almost like being there in person.

Zheng Chen's previous image was always sleek and efficient, minimizing any unnecessary burdens. Now, with a change in style, it was clear something was about to happen!

What's the advantage of a cloak? Concealing one's figure is one, but more importantly, it can hide more things!
