Chapter 95

Although he didn't know what it was, Ox still instinctively chose to play along: "Rat, your body is just recovering. After the series of battles, the entire boxing arena is still in a state of unease, and there are many things waiting for us to do. Since it's such an important proposal, why don't we wait until we finish the current tasks, and your body is fully recovered, before we discuss it?"

Where there are people, there is a江湖 (jianghu), and where there is power, there is struggle. The Four Great Warriors naturally couldn't be of one heart; otherwise, those above wouldn't be at ease.

Ox and Brother Water had the best relationship, while Rat and Big Head were close friends. As the leader of the Four Great Warriors, Ox originally had the upper hand, but with Brother Water's death, Ox felt a sense of crisis. Therefore, Ox wanted to delay, to consolidate his power before dealing with Rat's proposal.

"Except for the genetic hand, my body has fully recovered," Rat insisted. "I also know that the entire boxing arena is in a state of unease, and there are many things waiting for us to do. So this proposal is related to that. I believe that if this proposal is realized, it will not only stabilize the hearts of the people but also save us a lot of trouble."

"Is that so?" Although he didn't know what Rat was going to say, Big Head immediately chimed in, "I'm curious, Ox, why don't you listen?"

With both of them speaking, the minority had to yield to the majority. Ox could only smile and say, "Alright, I also want to know what such a good proposal is."

After saying that, Ox glanced at Wang Ge, signaling him to leave. Wang Ge had long anticipated that he wouldn't be allowed to listen in, but just as he was about to leave, Rat grabbed his arm.

"You can't leave," Rat grinned at Wang Ge, his naturally unappealing features making him look very sinister. "This matter concerns you."

Wang Ge was slightly taken aback. Concerns him? Could it be that they want to cancel my indenture contract? Or...

Thinking of another possibility, Wang Ge felt a small thrill of excitement. Could it really be?

Ox glanced at Wang Ge, a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, and his smile revealed his irritation. "What is it?"

"I propose that Da Wang replace Brother Water and become one of the Four Great Warriors!" Rat's proposal was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly changing the expressions of Ox, Big Head, and Wang Ge.

Big Head was first surprised, then delighted.

He hadn't expected Rat to make such a proposal, so he was surprised. But he strongly agreed with Wang Ge joining, because Wang Ge was his subordinate, and although he had only been his subordinate for a few hours, that had solidified their relationship. If Wang Ge joined the Four Great Warriors, it would certainly enhance his prestige.

Secondly, Wang Ge had just saved Rat, clearly a good brother worth cultivating.

If Wang Ge rose to power, and joined forces with him and Rat, they could overwhelm Ox's dominance, changing the landscape of Black City.

Wang Ge was secretly delighted. He had guessed that this might happen, but hearing Rat say it still filled him with joy.

He had previously been just a minor figure in the underground boxing arena, a human punching bag that no one would care about if he died.

Now, he had the chance to become one of the Four Great Warriors, a ruler of Black City. This was something he had never even dreamed of before. Moreover, Black City had defeated the Green Snake Gang and other local gangs, and was now poised to dominate Meteor Street. The power he would wield would far surpass that of the previous Four Great Warriors.

Don't think that Meteor Street is just a street. In fact, it is the base of the black forces in Mountain City, and the entire black force of Mountain City is centered there. The energy contained within is beyond what outsiders can imagine.

If he could become one of the Four Great Warriors, he would start to have his own power base. It would be more convenient to take care of his brothers at the Black Store, and provide himself with more power and convenience. In the future, when he wanted to investigate the Tiancheng Genetic Drug Company for the death of his parents, the more power he had, the better.

Even if he failed in the future, Meteor Street would be his fallback.

Ox's face was very grim. Although he didn't know why, since Rat had nominated Wang Ge, it was clear that Wang Ge was closer to Rat. Which side would he stand on in the future?

So Ox said without hesitation, "No way!"

"Why not?" Rat immediately asked.

"What qualifications does he have? What strength does he have? What reputation does he have?" Ox fired off a series of questions, emphasizing his final one: "What, does he have, to qualify?"

"Qualifications? He has been in Black City for more than five years, and you, Ox, have only been here for four. How many people in the organization are more familiar with it than him?" Rat had already made up his mind and had thought it through before speaking, so his response was direct and to the point:

"As for strength, I won't mention his record of undefeated fights from C-level to A-level. Just now, he killed Black Snake and saved my life. Then he fought Green Snake to a standstill. If you hadn't come out in the mech, Green Snake might have died at his hands. Is that not strength?

"Regarding reputation, I won't mention his record of undefeated fights from C-level to A-level. Tonight, he killed Black Snake, and his name will be known! Once this news spreads, will you still worry about his reputation?"

Ox was speechless. He wanted to argue, but five years of being a sparring partner didn't count as qualifications, right?

And you said you wouldn't mention his past, but why did you not only mention it but repeat it twice?

However, he couldn't really argue, because everything Rat said was true.

"Rat, I support you," Big Head raised his hand. "The Four Great Warriors can't be short one for long. The higher-ups have already said we should select someone from within to fill the position. Rat's points are valid, and I think Da Wang is qualified to rise."

After saying that, Big Head winked at Wang Ge, who smiled in gratitude.

Fortune favors the bold. His efforts had not been in vain, and now it was time to reap the rewards.

Ox rolled his eyes in anger. What was the point of arguing? A direct vote, and he would be the clear loser!

In the past, the Four Great Warriors rarely voted on decisions because it was always a two-to-two split.

But now, Ox had a very bad feeling. He feared that voting would become a common occurrence...

Rat and Big Head exchanged a knowing smile and raised their hands.

Although he was the one with the most ideas among the Four Great Warriors, at this moment, he didn't have as many thoughts as Big Head. His thoughts were simple: repay a favor.

Ox shook his head helplessly, "Alright, I agree to Da Wang being nominated. But there's one thing we need to clarify: Da Wang is still under a thirty-fight indenture contract!

"You're not planning to erase that contract, are you? Rat might not know, but Big Head definitely knows that Da Wang is about to fight in the A-level tournament!"

Hearing this, Rat and Big Head were both troubled.

B-level fights were manageable, but A-level fights were beyond their control. If Wang Ge had started from D-level and was now fighting in B-level, Rat and Big Head could have handled it, but A-level was different.

On the other hand, if Wang Ge hadn't started from C-level, he wouldn't have shown his strength, and wouldn't have left an impression on the Four Great Warriors.

Although Wang Ge didn't know the details, he could guess from Rat and Big Head's expressions.

The vote had already put the meat in Wang Ge's mouth. How could he spit it out?

"What's wrong with fighting in the A-level tournament?" Wang Ge, who had been silent, now spoke to Ox.

"Hehe, maybe you don't know yet?" Ox, feeling he had the upper hand, couldn't help but show a sinister smile. "Even if the higher-ups approve your joining the Four Great Warriors, you still have to fulfill the contract you signed, even if it means fighting to the death!"

"So, signing the thirty-fight indenture contract doesn't affect my becoming one of the Four Great Warriors?" Wang Ge confirmed again.

"That's right, so don't die in the ring, or we'll have to find someone else!" Ox was now openly hostile. If Wang Ge became one of the Four Great Warriors, he would become a puppet. What did he have to fear?

Moreover, that was the A-level tournament. Winning ten fights was no easy task.

Even he, Ox, at Level 11, couldn't guarantee a win in the A-level tournament.

If Wang Ge really did it, Ox would be at peace. Being a puppet to such a formidable opponent would be acceptable.

"Don't worry, I... will definitely live a long life!" Wang Ge couldn't help but think of Curly. They usually said this together.

So he knew what he was fighting for: for his sister, for his brothers, for the truth about his parents' death... no matter how difficult, he would survive!

"Live a long life? Ha..." Ox couldn't help but sneer. He had never seen a black boxer live a long life!

"Then I'll wait and see!" Ox patted Rat's shoulder irritably. "You nominated him, so you write the report. Get it stamped and give it to me, and I'll pass it on."

"No problem." Rat and Big Head exchanged a smile, but their smiles still showed a hint of worry.

Ten A-level fights, could Da Wang really do it...

Watching Ox's tall figure walk away, Wang Ge thanked Rat and Big Head, "Thank you, both of you, for your support..."

"Don't thank me," Big Head immediately stopped Wang Ge, pointing at Rat. "I support my brother."

"Don't thank me either," Rat grinned. "I never like owing anyone. We settle debts one for one. Besides, it's too early to say anything. Let's see if you can survive the A-level tournament."

[Vote for Wang Ge's rise!]
