The two kidnappers led Li Ze deeper into the boxing ring. They had arrived late, and all the good spots were taken. Now, only the dark, unrecognizable boxing ring remained.

"Let's do it in the boxing ring," said the kidnapper holding Li Ze. They had an injured man here, and he was new to the area, so it was best to behave themselves.

The other kidnapper didn't say anything, but stepped onto the boxing ring first, took off his jacket, and spread it on the ground, saying, "Put the boss here."

"Oh, it's rare to see you so considerate."

"There's no other way. If we want to leave the Death Starfield, we still have to rely on the big boss."

“We have to rely on him.” The kidnapper said, gently placing Li Ze on the ground, then taking off his own coat and covering Li Ze with it. “The conditions here are poor, and there’s no medicine. Boss’s physical condition is really worrying.”

"Huh, am I seeing things? Why does the boss look like he has more color in his face?"

"No way, let me take a look too. Sigh, it's true, my heartbeat has gotten stronger, and my breathing is much more stable."

The two kidnappers exchanged a glance, both of them smiling with relief.

The fighting outside continued, the sounds constantly bombarding everyone's eardrums. The younger children were frightened and began to cry.

At first, only one child was crying, but the crying seemed to be contagious. Within two or three minutes, almost all the children in the boxing ring were crying.

The already agitated crowd, now subjected to the cacophony of wailing, became enraged. Someone stood up and shouted, "What are you crying for? Are you mourning? It's bad luck!"

The child's parents immediately objected and retaliated.

What started as a verbal exchange quickly escalated into a physical fight, and the entire boxing ring became as noisy and chaotic as boiling water.

The two kidnappers flanked Li Ze, releasing their respective quantum beasts—a dog and a cat—to protect him. The cat and dog surrounded Li Ze, alert to any potential dangers.

They were only C-rank sentinels, weak and unable to contend with the Void Beasts, but barely enough to guard against humans. Not to mention, most of the people here were ordinary people.

When Li Ze opened his eyes, he saw the two kidnappers standing ready for battle.

"So noisy!" Li Ze muttered.

"Boss, how are you feeling right now? Where does it hurt?" the kidnapper asked obsequiously.

Faced with such a stupid face, Li Ze didn't want to say anything.

"Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?" the kidnapper asked.

"Help me sit up," Li Ze said.

Upon hearing this, the two kidnappers immediately helped Li Ze up and sit down, one on each side.

Li Ze sat up straight and reached out to the kidnapper, "Nutritional solution."

Without saying a word, the kidnapper took out the nutrient solution, opened the bottle cap, and handed it to Li Ze.

Li Ze took it, "Just now outside—"

"We didn't see anything," the two kidnappers said in unison, shaking their heads.

Li Ze hesitated, that wasn't what he meant. He just wanted to ask about the two Void Beasts. He had acted very quickly, but he had also lost consciousness just as fast. Before losing consciousness, he couldn't guarantee whether the two Void Beasts were dead. But now that they were out of danger, whether the two Void Beasts were dead or not wasn't so important anymore.

However, seeing that Li Ze remained silent, the two kidnappers immediately became anxious, already imagining whether Li Ze would kill them to silence them.

So the two of them hurriedly pledged their loyalty.

"Boss, rest assured, we keep our word and will never tell anyone about your 'pretending to be weak while actually being strong' scheme! I, Chen Kaiyang, swear this."

“I, Wang Duan, swear that I will never tell anyone.”

After spending more than twenty days together, Li Ze only learned their names today. Chen Kaiyang had a rugged appearance and a strong, resonant voice. Wang Duan was slightly thinner than Chen Kaiyang, and his features were softer.

Li Ze gave a casual "hmm," finished a bottle of nutrient solution, and looked around the boxing ring with interest. "What's this place used for?"

The malevolent energy is so strong, it must be a wonderful place!

“An underground boxing gym. A place where underground boxing matches are held,” Chen Kaiyang said.

"Empires also have places like this, and there's one on Vermilion Bird Star. Boxing gyms are often filled with bloodshed and violence," Wang Duan added, thinking to himself that his clean-cut demeanor didn't really suit a boxing gym.

Li Ze couldn't find any information about the boxing gym in the original owner's memories, but based on what Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan said, it wasn't hard to guess that it should be a place for fighting, such as a ring competition in the cultivation world.

"Does the boss want to watch a boxing match?" Chen Kaiyang asked.

Li Ze shook his head, then nodded, "Find me a place like this."

“Such places aren’t hard to find, provided you leave the Death Starfield first,” Chen Kaiyang said.

"Then let's find such a place in the Death Starfield first." Intuition told Li Ze that the concentration of malevolent energy in the boxing gyms in the Death Starfield was higher than that in the Empire.

Because there are no laws here, death is a very common occurrence. And judging from the thickness of the bloodstains on the ground, many people must have died here.

“There should be many boxing gyms in the Death Starfield. We’ll find one for you once things calm down outside,” Chen Kaiyang blurted out.

After saying it, he was stunned for a moment. Why had he agreed?

However, when faced with Li Ze's clear, pure eyes that held no impurities, he found himself unable to refuse.

Fine, considering his frail yet powerful physique, what's wrong with agreeing?

The fighting outside continued, and the commotion inside the boxing gym was eventually suppressed by several high-ranking sentries.

The boxing ring, which initially only had Li Ze and his two companions, now has other people: a grandfather and grandson, and a family of three. They had no choice but to hide in the boxing ring to avoid being caught in the fighting.

The three groups stood in a three-way standoff on the boxing ring, sizing each other up, but none of them uttered a greeting. The two children were shielded behind their parents, wary of any potential threat—more precisely, they were wary of the tall and muscular Chen Kaiyang and Wang Duan. As for the seemingly frail Li Ze, he was completely ignored.

"This is the 28th attack we've suffered this month. When will the leaders be able to drive those Void Beasts away from the north?" The woman in the family of three muttered softly, her tone filled with worry about the future.

"The Void Beasts will be driven away soon. The leaders have already contacted the Federation and the Empire, and I believe that soon, warships from all sides will arrive in the north, and the Void Beast problem will be solved." The man patted his wife's back to comfort her.

"Mom and Dad, I want to see the warships of the Empire and the Federation." The child looked at his parents with hopeful eyes.

“You’re too young, the leaders won’t accept you,” the man said to the boy with a smile.

"Mom doesn't want you to become a space pirate. Space piracy is too dangerous, and it's infamous." The woman added in her mind.
