The two of them walked out of the Colosseum quickly. Seeing that Ming Yan looked unhappy, Long Xiao wisely pulled Hu Yue and did not follow him, but just followed him from a distance.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Li Shushu didn't want to make small talk anymore and just looked around curiously.

To be honest, this Guishi is really lively and bustling with people everywhere.

Li Shushu has always liked quietness. At first, she felt a little curious about the hustle and bustle, but after staying for a long time, she felt that the noise was making her head hurt.

After walking around for a while, she finally saw a shop. The front of the shop was unusually deserted, with only two dim lights and the words "Rumengfang" written on it.

She didn't know what it was for, so she just wanted to go in and have some quiet time. She pulled Ming Yan along and said, "Come on, I just won some money. Let's go sit inside. It's my treat."

Ming Yan looked at the sign with the words on it and smiled. Okay!

It turns out that the so-called "Rumengfang" is a wine shop, but it is more than just a wine shop. The wine there is extremely expensive.

In fact, the wine is only slightly better than ordinary wine. However, it is a little different from other wine shops. The store will arrange a separate guest room for each group of guests. The sound insulation and other aspects between the guest rooms are quite good, so they can truly not affect each other.

The people who pour wine for them are usually stunning beauties. These beauties sell their skills but not their bodies. They are only responsible for pouring wine and chatting. You can also pay them to perform, but they are not allowed to go out.

The owner of this store is very visionary and has great ideas, so many dignitaries often come here to discuss business and handle important matters. There are also some wealthy and powerful customers who come here specifically to spend money in order to escape leisure or for entertainment.

The wine shop business has always been good, but because of the high prices, ordinary people cannot enter, so the environment is relatively quiet and elegant.

Long Xiao and Hu Yue were naturally and obediently left outside.

Ming Yan and Li Shushu were led to a small guest room. The owner, who was always observant, saw that the two were well-dressed and elegant, so he followed them personally. He was about to arrange for a woman to pour wine for them, but Ming Yan stopped him, saying, "We have something to discuss. Put down the wine and leave immediately."

After the boss left, the two were speechless for a moment. Li Shushu picked up the menu, looked at the prices, and said, "How expensive!"

When they came in just now, the boss asked them what kind of wine they wanted to drink. Li Shushu casually ordered a bottle of their store's signature drink: Ru Meng, without asking the price. Now seeing it, he realized how expensive it was.

Fortunately, there were very few people who bet on the little boy to win, so she won enough money to barely pay for the wine. Otherwise, if she just said she would treat him, Ming Yan would probably have to pay in the end.

Ming Yan just smiled at her inexperienced look and said, "Since it's expensive, drink more and finish it."

Li Shushu nodded, agreeing deeply.

The two of them drank two cups of wine, one cup each, with a plate of peanuts and a plate of braised beef in soy sauce, and gradually started talking.

"Why are you suddenly in a bad mood?" Li Shushu was still a little curious about why his mood changed so drastically.

"Do you really think that little boy won today?" Ming Yan pondered for a moment, and instead of answering, he asked, looking at Li Shushu with a sharp gaze.

"What else?" Li Shushu raised her eyebrows and continued to fiddle with the peanuts on the plate. She had a low alcohol tolerance and her complexion had changed after two glasses of wine. Her pretty face was red and she no longer had the majesty and coldness of the God of War. She looked silly and cute.

"Not really." Ming Yan took another sip of his wine. "What they called a fight today was nothing more than a performance with a pre-arranged plot and ending. No matter how twists and turns the process gets, in the end, the little boy will win."

"How is that possible?" Li Shushu was unconvinced. "If they were just acting, how could it be so real? What makes you say they're faking it?"

Those fights, the punches, the sounds, the blood and the scars, were so real.

"Don't worry about how I know this, this is the secret of the Colosseum and the casino.

No matter who wins in the end, the winner is the boss behind the scenes. Both sides of the fight lose, and most of the gamblers also lose. Only a few lucky ones can win a little money.

Li Shushu shook his head, expressing his disbelief. "It seems I am still one of the lucky few?"

"How about I tell you a story?" Seeing that Li Shushu didn't believe him, Ming Yan took another sip of wine and began to tell the story in a calm voice without waiting for her to express her opinion.

He said that once upon a time, there was a little boy who was framed by his stepmother and younger brother, and was abandoned by his father and kicked out of the house.

When the little boy had nowhere to go, he was accidentally caught by bad guys and sold to the Colosseum.

The little boy had lost his spiritual power due to his stepmother, and actually had no chance of winning in the Colosseum. However, the owner of the Colosseum liked the scene where the little boy, who looked weak, could beat the giant, because they could make a lot of money every time this scene was performed.

So, every few days the bosses will come up with this:

They only asked for a good ending in advance, which was that the little boy must win. As for the process and how to win, they didn't care at all.

The orc received the order and actually fought with the little boy during the process, only pretending to be defeated at the end.

Only the little boy was unaware of this.

Before the game, they would abuse the little boy and not give him food until he looked even weaker and sicker, more sympathetic, and looked like he had no chance of winning, and only then would they let him play.

Before going on the court, they would threaten him that if he didn't give his all, he would be beaten to death by the monster on the spot. Even if he was not beaten to death, they would torture him to death after he came off the court.
