Chapter 29

Honor? He doesn’t need it. Face? This kind of face he doesn’t need either. Victory? A meaningless pursuit; standing until the end is victory. As for others’ thoughts? How much do they really matter to him?

So, he stepped back without any guilt, without any psychological pressure.

“No need for a minute.” Zheng Chen said calmly as he stepped out of the arena.

“…” Lassadi was also stunned, letting the斗气 (martial aura) in her hands slowly dissipate. Could it really end so simply? She won, so she’s free?

With her abilities, she could definitely take her sister and escape from this place, but that wasn’t what she wanted. If she could dodge this once, what about the future? So she wanted to prove herself through continuous victories.

“You tricked me!” The arena owner was furious. Zheng Chen’s move was too ruthless. Does this guy not want to leave this place? How dare he do this? Taking a deep breath, the arena owner was directly enraged, “Keep them here forever.”

All the arena fighters appeared, well, one was missing. Badi was severely injured by Zheng Chen and couldn’t make it. However, there was an additional middle-aged man with a stern face and a beard, who was also a user.

Seeing this, the spectators who were initially dissatisfied suddenly became interested again. They came here for excitement, and it seemed something interesting was about to happen. Maybe it would be great?

Among the players, there was a lot of silence regarding Zheng Chen’s actions. Does this guy have no sense of honor? He just backed out so decisively, “If he really angers the other party, will they target him relentlessly?”

In the forum, a player couldn’t help but comment, receiving a lot of agreement.

“We’ll talk about that later, let’s see how things develop.”

Zheng Chen and Lassadi’s battle ended so abruptly, but a new battle seemed about to begin.

“Profit!” When Lassadi won, Hisska cheered. She and Zheng Chen were completely at odds, so she wouldn’t bet on him. She symbolically bet on Lassadi.

Now she only regrets not betting more.

After returning to the side of the blue-haired girl, Zheng Chen picked up the cloak hanging on the chair and put it on, then walked back to the arena. This time, the blue-haired girl followed, as did Lassadi’s sister, who also sensed the situation was off.

As for Zheng Chen, he wanted to leave. Since the arena owner had dispatched all the arena fighters, even the arena’s champion, it was clear he was planning to breach the agreement.

Forget it, this won’t affect what he plans to do next; it’s just a bit earlier.

Leaving? That’s wishful thinking.

“…I have a bad feeling.” Hisska looked at Zheng Chen, a particularly ominous feeling rising within her. Her weapons were hidden in the cloak, and she had a lot of them, so she was experienced in this area. She noticed something unusual about Zheng Chen.

“Are they planning to breach the agreement?” Lassadi, surrounded by arena fighters, frowned, protecting her sister behind her. At this moment, she was more worried about her sister’s safety. She glanced at Zheng Chen, and coincidentally, his situation was similar to hers, “Why did you come back?”

Zheng Chen glanced at her, said nothing, and took out a remote control from his cloak. Under everyone’s puzzled gaze, he pressed the button without hesitation…

The entire underground casino shook, and dust rained down from the ceiling, immediately causing chaos. Guests screamed and sought cover.

“Ah, I knew this guy would do something crazy!” Hisska shouted, tearing off her cloak. Are these people all idiots? They didn’t even notice they were buried with bombs?

The underground casino was enveloped in blinding smoke, blocking most people’s view. Zheng Chen threw a money bag at Lassadi’s feet; it was her prize money from the fight. In the chaos, he had taken it.

“Take care of her.” Pushing the blue-haired girl to Lilia’s side, Zheng Chen jumped off the arena. An arena fighter tried to intercept him but was terrified by a black object rolling at his feet—a grenade.

Even though the arena fighter tried to avoid it, he couldn’t completely escape and was severely injured, unable to fight. The average physical strength in this world was high, so he could still hang on with a thread of life.

“Stop him!” Noticing Zheng Chen’s target, the arena owner screamed. The arena fighters, receiving the order, bypassed Lassadi and charged at Zheng Chen.

Zheng Chen didn’t even raise his eyelids. He reached into his cloak and pulled out two machine guns, aiming at the charging arena fighters. He had earned a lot of money here, and it wouldn’t be spent quickly just on information and connections; he used it for other things.

“…” The arena fighters collectively fell silent. Alright, even with holy war angels as weapons, the threat of firearms was still significant.

However, Zheng Chen didn’t give them a moment to hesitate. A dense barrage of bullets enveloped them all.

“Damn!”

Arena fighters with heavy weapons were better off, able to use their weapons to block the attacks. Those without were in deep trouble.

Throwing the empty guns aside, Zheng Chen immediately charged towards the arena owner. With these arena fighters blocking, the arena owner, who had sensed the danger, had already fled through a secret passage.

“None of you are allowed to leave.” Since the arena owner had shown his true colors, and she had completed her final battle, she owed Zheng Chen a favor, and now was the time to repay it.

“Hmph, what are you all looking at?” Kaliama coldly snorted, addressing the players. With the arena owner gone, as the champion arena fighter, his authority was the greatest. The players here were part of the underground casino’s forces, and their earlier inaction had already annoyed him. Now they were still hesitating?

The players didn’t hesitate much, pulling out their weapons to join the fight. They would gain experience after the battle.

There were many ways to gain experience; it just depended on how the players discovered them. For the players in the arena, with Zheng Chen gone and the blue-haired girl left behind, this was a good opportunity.

As for the possible retaliation after taking her? Bah, the game world is vast; could the other party really chase them to the ends of the earth?

When Zheng Chen caught up to the arena owner, he was already at the entrance of the secret passage. Seeing Zheng Chen, the bodyguards immediately sealed the passage to prevent him from following.

Knowing the entrance was enough.

Zheng Chen took out a device from under his cloak and blew open the entrance to the secret passage. The arena owner, who had just entered, was knocked down by the blast. After dealing with the two bodyguards, Zheng Chen walked up to him.

“Listen to me now.”

The arena owner, drenched in sweat, nodded. He hadn’t expected Zheng Chen to do this, to choose this moment to act, especially after he had just tried to scheme against him.

“Have your subordinates create chaos in the town…”

A sudden vibration interrupted Zheng Chen’s words. Faint screams echoed from the entrance of the secret passage. Frowning slightly, Zheng Chen knocked the arena owner unconscious and immediately ran out.

“Catch her.” As soon as he stepped out, Zheng Chen saw a figure flying towards him. He caught the blue-haired girl thrown by Lassadi, pulling her behind him and scanning the chaotic underground casino. The situation was very messy, and the Holy War Angel Protection Association had also sent troops here.

With their superior equipment, they were gradually gaining control of the situation.

Lassadi’s condition was also poor; she had both cold weapon and gunshot wounds.

Many of the players also had firearms.

“…” Zheng Chen’s gaze finally settled on the greave on Lassadi’s right leg, a weapon bound to a holy war angel, and her sister?

“Take the people inside and leave.” Zheng Chen tore off his cloak and told Lassadi. She was exhausted, and he had to cover the rear.

“You can’t leave!” Hisska, who had been watching Zheng Chen, immediately picked up her weapon and charged through the chaos towards him.

“Ah, senpai.” Long Wei, seeing Hisska’s impulsive action, quickly followed to protect her. As for Kude… the young man obsessed with bunny girls was trying his best to be a knight in shining armor.

Hisska, charging towards Zheng Chen, froze when she saw the weapon he pulled out from his cloak.

“Grenade launcher? Is the branch brain-dead? Why did this thing get out?” Hisska, who had been charging forward, immediately turned and jumped into a nearby cover. The players chasing after her also froze when they saw Zheng Chen’s heavy weapon.

This thing had circulated in the black market; some players had seen it. It was extremely expensive and limited in quantity, a serious contraband item.

Seeing no one dared to approach, Zheng Chen put away the grenade launcher and quickly retreated into the secret passage. After a moment’s hesitation, someone followed. As soon as they reached the entrance of the secret passage, the cloak Zheng Chen had thrown on the ground exploded, creating a fierce fire wave that completely sealed the entrance.

The intense explosion shattered nearby pillars, causing the entire underground casino to shake.

“Not good, this place is about to collapse, quickly retreat!” Hisska immediately shouted to the surrounding area, her heart filled with frustration. That guy was a madman, doing things so thoroughly.
