After the blond man left, Zhu Yuan's gaze returned to Xi Xingxue.

"Xiao Xi, would you like to stay here a little longer, or come with me?"

Outside the transparent one-way glass, a new wave of contestants entered the ring, their shouts mingling with the sounds of bodies colliding.

However, Xi Xingxue doesn't really like blood and violence, and Zhu Yuan is very likely to be in danger soon.

He immediately shook his head: "Let's leave."

"Okay." Zhu Yuan handed the briefcase to the bodyguard and then led Xi Xingxue out of the private room.

However, just a second after they stepped out of the private room, a strange noise suddenly broke out outside.

"Don't move!"

A group of men dressed in black and wearing sunglasses surrounded Zhu Yuan and Xi Xingxue, their black gun barrels pointed directly at them.

On the steps, many people turned their gazes in this direction, but they showed no panic or fear, only amusement and sarcasm.

Zhu Yuan's muscles tensed instantly, gripping Xi Xingxue's wrist tightly without letting go, his face calm:

"Oh? May I ask you all, what have I done wrong?"

From behind the group of men in black, a red-haired boy emerged. He was very tall, wearing a vest, and his exposed arms were incredibly muscular. His aura was even stronger than that of the men.

His eyebrows were arrogant, and his gaze swept lightly over Zhu Yuan:

"Although this is a trading place, sir, there are some things that we absolutely do not allow to be traded here."

That sound...

Xi Xingxue frowned slightly.

Why does that sound so familiar?

At the same time, Jiang Yao also saw the boy next to Zhu Yuan.

He had extremely fair skin, delicate features, red lips and white teeth. Standing there gently, he looked like a white rabbit that had fallen into a pack of gray wolves.

Jiang Yao's gaze was uncontrollably drawn to him.

Ever since that day when they made physical contact, he couldn't stop thinking about the warmth of his lips, his flushed cheeks, his melodious voice...

In the dead of night, he was so aroused by the accusation that he couldn't wait to bring the culprit to his side.

It's just a pity that L won't let him touch him.

Jiang Yao had no choice but to suppress his restless thoughts for the time being, and then looked at Zhu Yuan with an even colder gaze.

Xi Xingxue's fiancée? She's just a cross-dressing monster, humph.

Zhu Yuan raised an eyebrow unhurriedly: "Items that are strictly prohibited from being traded inside the venue? Even beginners know this rule, right? Do you think I would break it?"

A strange laugh escaped his throat.

Jiang Yao felt a pang of jealousy when he saw that Zhu Yuan was holding Xi Xingxue's wrist the whole time.

He slowly pressed the trigger with the fingertip on his lower back, and said nonchalantly, "Who knows? But these are the rules here, and you have to abide by them."

"Someone, open his box!"

At a command, the men behind Jiang Yao swarmed forward and snatched the box from Zhu Yuan's hands.

Zhu Yuan only brought two bodyguards. He waved to them to stop struggling, and the bodyguards did not resist, allowing Jiang Yao's men to open the box.

The box contained weapons.

In principle, firearms are not subject to jurisdiction in foreign countries, so they are legal.

However, it may also depend on the type of weaponry.

In short, the moment Zhu Yuan opened the box, Jiang Yao's men's expressions changed.

Immediately afterwards, gun barrels were pointed at Zhu Yuan.

"As expected! You broke our rules!"

Upon hearing this accusation, Zhu Yuan's expression suddenly darkened. His gaze swept over them and caught sight of a golden-haired figure in the distance.

"You guys turned Jok against you?"

"Who is Jok?" Jiang Yao sneered.

Zhu Yuan sneered: "To deal with me? Is it worth going through all this trouble?"

Jiang Yao slowly pressed down on the trigger, a dangerous aura emanating from him: "Young Master Zhu Yuan, you now also have a chance to leave here standing up."

Zhu Yuan turned his head to look at him.

“That’s it.” Jiang Yao changed the subject, pointing at Xi Xingxue, “Give him to me.”

His eyes burned with passion, making no attempt to hide his interest in Xi Xingxue.

Indeed, today's scheme is aimed at Zhu Yuan.

However, upon learning that Xi Xingxue was also there, Jiang Yao slightly changed his mind.

Hmph, since L isn't even there, I might as well indulge my own selfish desires.

"Impossible." Zhu Yuan replied without hesitation.

"Impossible?" Jiang Yao hadn't originally intended to kill Zhu Yuan; he just wanted to teach him a lesson. However, he suddenly decided to kill him.

He raised his hand and pulled the trigger.

A bullet whistled through the air as it hurtled towards Zhu Yuan.

Without a second thought, Xi Xingxue pulled Zhu Yuan away the instant Jiang Yao made his move. The bullet barely grazed Zhu Yuan's cheek, leaving a small amount of blood.

“Xiao Xi…” Zhu Yuan’s gaze locked onto Xi Xingxue.

It seems she was somewhat touched.

He wiped the blood from his cheek and gave Jiang Yao a cold laugh: "Very well, I'll play this game with you to the very end."

Xi Xingxue was stunned: So... this is what Shen Yu meant by playing a game with Zhu Yuan?

That would be extremely dangerous.

But that's not right. In the original story, Zhu Yuan's danger wasn't caused by Shen Yu.

Before Xi Xingxue could think any further, a loud gunshot suddenly rang out inside the building, accompanied by a scream that pierced everyone's ears.

"Ah! Murder!"

"Run!"

Many people without guns stood up and ran frantically out of the building.

Xi Xingxue looked down and saw that a group of people had suddenly stood up and started shooting without saying a word. There were also people inside the building maintaining order. They rushed forward, but were instantly shot down.

Jiang Yao caught a glimpse of a sudden terrorist attack inside the building, and his expression turned cold. He took two steps back and chose to maintain order inside the building first.

As for Zhu Yuan, he can only be put aside for now.

It is not yet clear who these people are. They were once partners with Zhu Yuan, and they cannot fight with Zhu Yuan and let others benefit.

Seeing the sounds of gunfire and desperate escape mingling inside the fighting gym, creating a chaotic scene, Zhu Yuan gently raised his hand and smoothed Xi Xingxue's stray hairs.

"Xiao Xi, let's go. The rest of the game belongs to someone else."

Looking at Zhu Yuan's calm expression, Xi Xingxue felt that he seemed to know something.

They knew that someone might suddenly open fire and commit a terrorist attack inside the building.

No wonder he remained calm and composed when confronting Jiang Yao.

“Okay.” Xi Xingxue nodded.

The main concern is that Zhu Yuan is in danger. His safety is the most important thing. As for Shen Yu, this territory belongs to his family, so he should be fine.

Zhu Yuan seemed to be very familiar with the fighting gym. Instead of running towards the exit where more and more corpses were appearing, he led Xi Xingxue up the steps in the opposite direction.

Gunshots and screams mingled together below the steps, creating a harrowing scene.

Zhu Yuan took his hand and led him to the top of the stands, gradually fading the sounds of gunfire from his ears.
