Martial Arts Godhood: At the Start, Rebels Asked Me to Be an Undercover Agent
Chapter 55: The Battlefield of Life and Death
"Cai Jin, what do you mean? Poaching my people right in front of me, that's a bit much."
"Just sit down and eat your meal. You don't even know when you'll be promoted to team leader. This guy is so capable; he's wasting his talent in your team."
"Brother, do you want to think about it? I'll go talk to the captain," Cai Jin said to Xiao Wang.
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Team Leader Cai, but I'm doing quite well here in Team Three."
"Are you really not going to reconsider?"
"I'll pass on that idea, but I'm still grateful for Team Leader Cai's high regard."
"Alright, if you change your mind in the future, feel free to come find me anytime."
After Cai Jin finished speaking, he walked away.
Zhuge Hong sat down again, looked at Xiao Wang, and said, "Youngest brother, I didn't expect you to be so unassuming. You actually managed to catch a wanted criminal who managed to escape from Lao Cai's hands. I know Lao Cai's marksmanship, but he's not very good."
"I was just lucky, a blind cat stumbled upon a dead mouse."
"Don't be modest, youngest brother. With you joining us, our group's strength will be elevated to another level."
Just as the two were talking, Xu Liyan, the leader of Group Three, was getting his meal.
He's been here for a while now.
He heard everything Cai Jin said.
After getting his food, he walked towards where Xiao Wang and the others were.
"Boss."
When Wan Dachuan saw Xu Liyan, he immediately moved aside to make room for him.
After sitting down, Xu Liyan ate a couple of bites of rice, then glanced at Xiao Wang and asked, "Was what Cai Jin said just now true?"
"Which question are you referring to, team leader?"
"Arrest the wanted criminal."
"I was just lucky; I happened to run into the wanted criminal. If it had been a chase, I might not have been able to catch him."
Xiao Wang spoke the truth.
"So that means you really did catch him?"
"More or less."
After listening, Xu Liyan ate his meal in silence. After a while, he said casually, "Let's eat. I was just asking casually."
Although his tone was still rather cold, Xiao Wang could tell that he had become much more gentle and polite than when they first met.
After finishing his meal, Xiao Wang went directly to Wen Lujia's office.
After knocking and entering, Wen Lujia was still working on documents at her desk.
She was still wearing a tight-fitting and smart outfit today, but when she was working at her desk, she didn't reveal much skin.
"Team Leader Wen."
"Close the door."
After Xiao Wang went inside, he closed the door behind him.
"Captain Wen, when are we leaving?"
"When are you leaving?"
"Um...aren't you going to drive me home?"
"When did I say that? Have you ever seen a boss drive his subordinates around like that?"
A fickle woman.
Xiao Wang didn't mind. It was better not to send him off. Instead, he wouldn't have to go all the way to the martial arts gym and could go directly to the underground boxing gym.
"Since you're not seeing me off, I'll be going now."
"Are you getting used to being in Group Three?"
"fine."
"Is it really that good?"
"It's really great. Deputy Group Leader Zhuge and the other group members are all very friendly to me. Sister Dong'er also works in Group Three, and she has helped me a lot."
"Sister Dong'er, Sister Dong'er, you've only been here half a day, but you're already calling me all lovey-dovey." Wen Lujia muttered to herself, a little annoyed, before continuing, "How's Team Leader Xu? How's the relationship going?"
"It's alright."
Wen Lujia looked up at Xiao Wang and said, "What do you mean by 'okay'? If it's okay, it's okay; if it's not okay, it's not okay."
"When he came to your office to pick me up before, I felt that he was cold to me, but when we were eating in the cafeteria just now, his attitude towards me seemed to have changed."
"Really? Old Xu is a man who can't tolerate any nonsense, but he's been in the police station for decades, so he has some skills. You should learn from him."
"clear."
"Alright, you can go now."
Xiao Wang left the office, thinking about Xu Liyan's change in attitude. He guessed that Xu Liyan initially thought he was a relative and therefore didn't like him much. But after hearing that he had caught a wanted criminal and proved his strength, Xu Liyan probably thought he was really specially recruited.
But he couldn't care less about that now. After returning to his workstation and tidying up his things, he left work and headed straight to the underground boxing gym.
After leaving the police station building, I stood in the courtyard and looked up at the sky. It was getting dark, and the searchlights on the inner city wall in the distance had been turned on and began to search back and forth.
At this moment, the pedestrians on the street are in a hurry, all rushing home before night falls completely.
Xiao Wang turned his head and looked at the police station building behind him, where a few lights were on.
"I wonder which room Hu Guangzhong's office is in?"
"Fortunately, we're now inside the police station, so we can take it slow and not rush things. Don't reveal your purpose too early."
Xiao Wang kept reminding himself to proceed step by step.
Then, he walked out of the police station and headed straight for the underground boxing gym.
Nearly an hour later, Xiao Wang returned to the underground boxing gym.
His goal today was clear: to try his luck in the high-level arena and earn 10,000 Federal Dollars.
Upon entering the boxing gym, we headed straight for Brother Yu's office on the second floor.
"You want to play in the higher-level arena?" Brother Yu asked in return after hearing Xiao Wang's request.
I want to give it a try.
"Hey bro, are you really short on cash?"
"I'm a little short on cash," Xiao Wang replied truthfully.
Brother Yu and You Feng exchanged a glance, then said, "Since you're so short of money, how about we make a big score?"
"Big one? Please enlighten me, Brother Fish."
Xiao Wang became more vigilant; he didn't believe in the possibility of something falling from the sky.
"The life-or-death arena can earn you far more than this high-class arena."
"A battlefield of life and death? What is a battlefield of life and death?"
Chu Wenlong had mentioned it to him before, but hadn't gone into detail.
"The life-or-death arena is actually very simple: it doesn't matter if one side dies or not, the fight continues until one side is dead."
???
Xiao Wang looked at Brother Yu and asked seriously, "It's not about fighting until one side admits defeat or falls down, but about fighting until one side dies?"
"That's right, it's a fight until one side dies. To put it simply, only one person can leave the ring alive."
Xiao Wang was stunned, somewhat puzzled.
"Isn't the arena supposed to be about winning and losing? Why must it have to be a matter of life and death?"
"Because people can only unleash their full potential when they know they will really die." After saying this, Brother Yu smiled and looked at Xiao Wang. "That's all I can tell you for now. I'll tell you more when you actually enter the arena of life and death."
Xiao Wang was silent for a moment, then asked, "What's the price?"
Brother Yu looked at the flute and asked about the price, realizing that he had become interested, and his words and actions became more enthusiastic.
"The price varies per game, but the lowest is 100,000 and the highest could be over a million, just like when you played here before. If someone raises the bet, the upper limit is even harder to say."
Hearing this price, Xiao Wang was indeed tempted. The minimum was 100,000, and there were even people raising the stakes. Maybe he could earn enough for his tuition just by playing one game.
Seeing Xiao Wang hesitate, Brother Yu continued, "This life-or-death arena is conducted anonymously. You'll all wear hoods during the competition, so no one will know who you are. Don't worry. Also, everyone who participates has signed a guarantee: if you win, you get paid; if you lose and get killed, you won't bear any responsibility."
Xiao Wang listened and was indeed somewhat tempted.
If it's just about raising tuition fees for Yuanshan Martial Arts Academy, it might be manageable in the next few months. But if we add the cost of getting a gun license, it will probably be very difficult.
"Can we watch one game first before deciding?" Xiao Wang asked.
