C255 (1/2)
However, that fellow was still very stubborn. After suffering a few solid blows to the ground, he did not give up and stood up to continue.
Master Zhang whispered in my ear. From the looks of it, he was risking his life. If this goes on, I think he'll be killed.
Master Zhang's words surprised me and I immediately told Ah Sang. We admit defeat for this match. Stop under your command!
I have a feeling that things are not over between us, because my memory is coming back, and we need a long time to redefine our relationship. If Li Jun and Yue Yue really died here, then I would feel that my heart was empty, and I would not be able to find what I once had.
Zhang Ziyuan frowned. In my opinion, he was courting death. He felt that there was no hope for him to be with you, so why not die in front of you and let you remember him forever …
Ah Sang heard my words and shook his head. ”You guys won't be able to make the decision. If the people on the field admit defeat, it will be over, but there's no other way. They are still persisting. This is something we can't decide.”
He seemed to have developed a kind of cat and mouse mentality. He liked to look at us like ants on a hot pan. Even though he knows that his friends will be in danger if this goes on, he is unable to stop us.
Damn it, what was he going to do?
In a split-second, Li and Yue were thrown by the burly man onto the wall. I felt my heart skip a beat as I rushed over to help him up. I whispered in her ear, ”You lost. Don't stand up anymore. Rest well!”
Li He Yue also told me in a weak voice that this competition is extremely important. Although I know that the chances of winning are very small, I still have to go all out.
With that, he fainted. His body wasn't fully recovered, and after this battle, he couldn't hold on any longer.
Now I understood what he was thinking. Damn, he wanted me to owe him as much as I could, so that even if we couldn't be together, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life. He really didn't expect him to be such a scheming person, yet no one could hate him.
Alright, there's no other way. You've lost the second match. Now, we are evenly matched. This final match is very crucial.
Actually, he didn't really care about letting us go. He just made a rule that if he lost in these three rounds, then he would lose all face.
Seriously, Brother Sang, I think you're having a hard time.
It was as if he hadn't expected me to speak to him like that. He paused, then asked, What's wrong with me?
Our goal is the seven-step lotus flower, this thing does not belong to you nor is it in your territory, rather, it belongs to this place, the noblest society. You spared no effort to stop me, but what you were protecting was something that the aristocrats of the upper class had. Don't you think that this is not worth it?
What are you calling that? Making the graft clothes for others, in the end, you were just playing with us for a bit, without getting any benefits. If I'm not wrong, those upper class aristocrats are basically trying to step you into the mud, looking down on you. Even though you are being used like this, you are still playing around so happily, so, I am unable to see through you.
What I said really stunned him and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Not to mention being a sharp tongued girl, she even knew how to attack a city. I was almost persuaded by you.
Shouldn't you be persuaded by me? If you let me go, and I go after the so-called nobles, I'm sure that's what you want to see, or that some kind of agreement has been reached between you, but I don't think they'll give you too much, and you'll be dismissed as a beggar.
I really did not realize that you were such a clever woman. I would like to ask you, if I were to help you, what kind of benefits would you receive? After all, you are outsiders. If you obtain what you want, you will return to your original world. You don't know how terrifying this place is, nor do you know the level concept here. I can avoid disturbing the nobles of the upper class, but if I were to offend them, I think you would be able to guess the outcome.
In other words, if you allow us to pass after losing these three rounds, you would be offending a noble?
I slowly tried to guess what he was thinking. I tried to think of what I could say to move him and help us. I'm starting to feel that we won't be able to win this third round, because all the rules are in the hands of the other party. If he doesn't want us to win, then we will definitely lose.
Since you're so smart, why do you need to ask me? Come on, let's continue with the third round!
Although I didn't touch him, I could already feel that his mind had become unstable. After all, he was used to the weather outside. Although he was still the boss in the downtown area, but he had to be suppressed by the aristocracy everywhere.
I could tell from her eyes that there was a trace of unwillingness, but, after such a long time, his rebellious mentality has been gradually suppressed. It's sealed at the bottom of the box, if he wants to wake up, it won't be that easy.
Alright, then tell me, what are the rules for the third round?
The rules for the third round were even simpler. Furthermore, it was all based on luck. Wasn't this too fair?
He took out a revolver from the box beside him. It was a very old gun and no one was using it now.
He took another round from his pocket, put it in the clip, and began to turn the wheel of the pistol.
