Therefore Fu Zhi said, “Let’s make it simple. We’ll guess who will win the first match, the contender, or the beast.”

“Of course it…”

“By the way, a kind reminder,” Fu Zhi interrupted, “I’ll be the first contender, replacing Black Demon.”

Zhao Wu looked at her in disbelief.

Then, the staff who had been overhearing their conversation the entire time, chimed in, “That’s right, she has signed a contract with us. She’ll be going into the field and fighting with the beast.”

The staff in the arena was professionally trained. Therefore, Zhao Wu was relieved after hearing what the staff had said. “You said you’d give me 1 million yuan if I win? Do you have 1 million yuan?”

Fu Zhi pulled a bank card from her bag, and the staff swiped her card with a machine.

When Zhao Wu saw the amount of money inside the card through the screen of the machine, his eyes lit up and he said, “Okay! Okay! I’ll bet on the beast in the cage to win!”

He swallowed hard, and he stretched his arm towards the bank card, but Fu Zhi was a tad faster than him. She took the bank card away before he could reach it, and took a step back.

“I won’t give you the bank card before the match ends,” she put the bank card back in her bag as she said. “I’ll bet on myself. If you win, you get the money. However, if you lose… I don’t want money from you…”

‘She doesn’t need me to give her money?’

Just as the thought surfaced in Zhao Wu’s head, Fu Zhi continued, “If you lose, you’re going into the field and fight with the beast in the next match.”

Zhao Wu widened his eyes as he could not believe what he had just heard. It took him quite a long time to come around to his senses and said, “You want me to fight the beast?”

The staff also added, “Miss, we can’t do this. It’s against the rules.”

“The rules are fixed, but people are not. If you guys let him go into the field, I will give all the money I win today to your arena.”

“But…” The staff hesitated. Then, he gritted his teeth and nodded. “Let me talk to the person in charge first.”

“How about you?” Fu Zhi turned her gaze back to Zhao Wu after the staff had gone away. “Are you up for it, or not?”

Judging from the fact that Zhao Wu was to sacrifice his wife and son for his own benefit, it was not difficult to see that he was someone who cherished his own life greatly.

However…

Zhao Wu squinted his eyes and studied Fu Zhi.

The young lady in front of him had red lips and white teeth. She looked frail and fragile, and she did not look like someone who could put up a fight.

“Sure! Let’s do it!” Zhao Wu nodded decisively, “Wealth only comes from danger. If you don’t fulfill your promise, I’ll go find you at your school!”

Inside the changing room, Fu Zhi pulled a new set of clothes out of her bag. After she had changed into the new clothes, she headed out of the changing room.

Jiang Ningbei had been waiting for her outside of the changing room. When he saw her, he stubbed out the cigarette and looked at Fu Zhi.

She had put on a set of black sportswear—short sleeves, long pants, and black boots. Her legs were long and slender. Right now, she was rolling the pant leg up, revealing a section of her fair-skinned ankle to the air.

Her gaze was sharp and her expression was cold.

Even though Jiang Ningbei was confident that Fu Zhi would not change her mind, he still felt that it was too dangerous for her to do it alone. “Zhizhi, can you think over it again? It’s too dangerous! Those beasts are not like the beasts you would see in the wild. They are specially trained. They are stronger, faster, deadlier, and they are exceptionally bloodthirsty. There are plenty of ways for you to teach Zhao Wu a lesson. You don’t have to risk yourself for someone like him!”

“He wants to sell Zhou Zihuai’s kidneys,” Fu Zhi said, her voice grim, “Not only that, but he even wants to send Zhou Zihuai here to fight with those beasts. However, we won’t be able to bring him to justice since he hasn’t done any of those yet.”

How long could he be sentenced for domestic violence or trash-talking?

As long as Zhou Zihuai’s mother refused to get a divorce with Zhao Wu, Zhao Wu would still have the chance to get Zhou Zihuai to a hospital and extract his organs.

At that time, it would be too late even if they could bring Zhao Wu to justice.

Fu Zhi’s plan was simple. She wanted to instill fear into Zhao Wu. She wanted him to stay as far as possible from gambling. She wanted him to feel the fear of getting torn apart by beasts and the feeling of death.

She wanted Zhao Wu to feel what Zhou Zihuai had been feeling this whole time.

“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine,” Fu Zhi said, but it was still not enough to quench Jiang Ningbei’s worries.

Yes, he knew how great a fighter Fu Zhi was, but a beast was different from a human, and even the slightest mistake on the field would spell disaster.

How should he explain to other people if something happened to her?

“How can I not worry about you? No one can guarantee what would happen on the field. Zhizhi, please, I beg you. Don’t go out there and fight those beasts,” Jiang Ningbei pleaded.

If something happened to Fu Zhi under his surveillance, not only would he lose his job, but even his father would kill him!

Looking at the anxious expression on Jiang Ningbei’s face, she had a feeling that he would call her mommy without any hesitation if she asked him to.

She pressed the thought back to her stomach pit and waved her hand, “You’re an adult, so you should act your age.”

“My age? I might look old physically, but I’m very young mentally!” Jiang Ningbei replied. “There are plenty of ways to resolve this, so why must you choose the harsh way?”

“So do you want to go into the field on behalf of me?”

“Me? Well, it’s not that I don’t want to, but I’ve injured my hand on a mission lately. Why don’t I ask another person to replace you?”

Fu Zhi threw him an askance glance and waved her hand. “Alright. Have you ever seen me lost before?”

“Honestly, plenty of times. You bawled your eyes out when Ye Jiu bullied you. And Fu Zhao took your candy away? And you burst into loud sobs in just a few seconds after a strange person picked you up from the ground,” Jiang Ningbei brought his fingers up and began counting one by one.

Fu Zhi was speechless. She stopped Jiang Ningbei and said, “That’s right. I’ve never once lost in a fight before, so I’m going to win this as well.”

After that, she picked her bag up as she headed to the person in charge.

Since there was still some time before 2:00 am, everyone was walking towards the arena field.

The Mu Family had its influence spread across many industries in Yu City. Although some of the industries were monitored by the police department, they did not do anything to the Mu Family.

The person in charge walked up to Fu Zhi and confirmed with her again. “So you’re Ms. Li Zhi?”

It went without saying that it was a fake name, but Jiang Ningbei still could not help himself and the corner of his lips quivered a little bit when he heard the name.

As for Fu Zhi, she nodded obediently and replied, “Yes, I am.”

Jiang Ningbei was speechless.

The person in charge then continued, “We’ve displayed your information on the big screen, and everyone has started to place their bets. I’d have the say that you’re the first woman ever to fight in our arena.”

After all, no matter how strong a woman was, their strength still could not be compared to a man. Not only that, but even some of the strongest men could not escape the fate of getting torn apart by the beasts, so it went without saying that a female contender would not be able to survive for long inside the field. Under such a circumstance, the gamblers would know who to bet on, and it would affect the profit of the arena.

“For the record, 80% of the people think you will die the moment you enter the field and 9% say you can hold on for a little longer. Only 1% of people think that you will actually win the game. In the past, the participation rate only hovers around 60%, but today, it shoots up to 98%, and it’s all because of you!”

Jiang Ningbei put his phone down when he heard what the person in charge had said. He walked up to him and asked excitedly, “Where can I place the bet?”

The person in charge looked at him quizzically and replied, “You don’t know?”

“Well, this is the first time I came here, so I’m not very familiar with the rules and stuff,” Jiang Ningbei said.

The person in charge nodded and he pulled a device out of his pocket. “Click here to place a bet, and then key in the amount you want to bet.”

Then, he chuckled, “Black Demon is the strongest fighter in our arena, but now that he has been replaced by Ms. Li Zhi… So you’re going to place bets on the bests, right? If I hadn’t heard the things about you guys and Zhao Wu, I’d have thought you two are here to make money.”

Jiang Ningbei paid him no mind and handed the device back to him.

When he saw that Jiang Ningbei was betting on Fu Zhi, he fell silent.

Fu Zhi turned her head to look at Jiang Ningbei, and he said, “Good luck. I want to get a wife early this year.”

Fu Zhi did not know what to say. She was stumped for a short while before asking, “Are you not going to stop me?”

“In front of money, love and peace are nothing but empty promises. Xiao Fu, your future is bright and clear. You’re an eagle. You should be soaring in the sky, instead of getting contained by me, a birdcage!”

Fu Zhi was speechless.

“I’m sure you’re very clear with the rules. You can pick your own equipment. The other contenders are behind the door over there right now, so come with me. The match is about to start.”

After that, the person in charge led Fu Zhi to where the other contenders were. Then, he turned to Fu Zhi and said, “I hope you see you later, miss, and good luck.”

That said, he did not think that Fu Zhi could come out alive from the field.

“Oh yeah. Don’t forget to prepare a uniform for Zhao Wu as well,” Fu Zhi reminded him.

“Zhao Wu? Oh, are you talking about your bet? I’m afraid we can’t do that.”

“Didn’t you say that the arena won’t interfere in the bet between me and him?” Fu Zhi said, her voice cold.

“Yes, that’s right. But he signed Zhou Zihuai’s name on the contract, so if you lose, Zhou Zihuai would need to go into the field and fight with the beasts next. Zhao Wu is Zhou Zihuai’s guardian, so he has the right to have his son fight for him.”

This was out of Fu Zhi’s expectation. She did not expect that Zhao Wu would pull this on her.

As for the arena, they did not care who was going into the field as long as they had enough contenders.

“I see,” Fu Zhi said as she squinted her eyes.

“That’s right. Are you clear now?” The person in charge said.

However, at the moment he finished speaking, Fu Zhi stretched her arm forward and grabbed his neck.

“Although he’s Zhou Zihuai’s guardian, it isn’t Zhou Zihuai who signed the contract. In my opinion, the contract should be voided. Don’t you think so?”

“I…”

The person in charge could not say a single word, so he could only nod profusely.
