One hundred million Star Coins is no small sum. Almost the instant Li Ze placed his bet, the owner of the boxing ring received the news.
"One hundred million? Who has such a big spender?" the boxing ring owner asked.
"No results found. Seems to be a new customer." Those esteemed guests are accompanied by staff throughout the entire event, and the arena is fully aware of the amounts they wager.
"Who did the Second Prince bet on?" the boxing ring owner asked again.
"Number 3. The Second Prince has bet ten million. If Number 3 wins, we will lose money in this round."
"How much did you lose?"
"Twenty million."
"Then let it be a loss," the boxing ring owner said indifferently. It was only twenty million; he could afford to lose it. The most important thing right now was to maintain good relations with the Second Prince.
Should we investigate the person who bet 100 million?
"Investigate! Don't act rashly once you find out."
"yes."
The entire conversation reached Li Ze's ears, but his clear black and white eyes remained devoid of any warmth.
The next second, he took out his personal computer and first donated 100 million to Planet 12 in the Liuyan Starfield. Then, he donated 10 billion to the department responsible for opening and maintaining the Empire's jump tunnel.
In less than five minutes, his savings account lost 20.1 billion yuan.
Meanwhile, the officials in charge of the official accounts for Planet 12 in the Liuyan Starfield, as well as the official accounts for the opening and maintenance of the Imperial Jump Channel, were stunned the moment they received the funds.
The officials from Planet 12 were the first to recover and sent a message of thanks to Li Ze.
Afterwards, officials from the other two departments also contacted Li Ze to confirm the information, since 10 billion is no small sum.
Li Ze's expression was indifferent, but his tone was soft and coquettish, with a hint of shyness, "Commander He often leaves Suzaku Star. Thanks to the jump channel, the time it takes for him to return has been shortened."
Upon hearing this, the officials from both departments immediately realized that it was for Commander He.
“If, if I wanted to go find Commander He—” Li Ze’s voice became almost inaudible towards the end.
But the person on the other end understood his meaning and tried hard to suppress his laughter. "That's not a problem. We can grant you limited access. All the jump channels within the Empire will be open to you from now on."
"Won't this have a negative impact?" Li Ze asked hesitantly, his voice filled with worry.
"No. As Commander He's partner and your strong support for our work, it's only right that we grant you access." Commander He's wife is indeed as beautiful and kind as the legends say.
Li Ze ended the communication expressionlessly. His goal was achieved. Once he purchased the mecha, he could travel to various planets of the Empire to absorb the evil energy.
Thanks to the original owner, he left a large sum of money.
However, what Li Ze didn't know was that because of the 20.1 billion he donated, his security level had risen two levels from that of an ordinary civilian.
Now, if he disappears or dies mysteriously, the empire will send people to investigate.
His information is also hidden from some people. Only those with a higher rank than him can see his information.
Li Ze was unaware of these intricacies. At this moment, he was absorbing the continuously generated malevolent energy. Although the amount of malevolent energy generated was not as much as that in the mecha competition arena, it was still quite considerable.
Li Ze was very satisfied with this.
The competition on the stage has reached a critical moment.
"Hit him! Kill him!"
"Beat him up!"
"Get up! Charge!"
"........"
The audience had red eyes, their expressions a mixture of excitement and madness.
When the referee shouted that boxer number 3 had won, the atmosphere of menace in the arena reached its peak.
Beneath the mask, Li Ze's beautiful lips curved slightly. He loved this place so much—he could eat and make money at the same time.
That night, Li Ze followed the Second Prince's betting every time. Whatever the Second Prince bet on, he bet on too, and each time he bet 100 million.
Overnight, Li Ze's stake had increased several dozen times from the initial 100 million to 8 billion.
The owner of the boxing ring was no longer calm and told everyone to keep a close eye on Li Ze.
Li Ze sensed the extra gazes from the shadows, but he paid no heed. He continued to bet and absorb the malevolent energy. The night passed, and while others seemed drained of their life force, he resembled a spirit that had absorbed life force, his complexion rosy and his spirit radiant.
When the game ended, everyone else who had lost money left cursing, but Li Ze remained calmly seated. Only after everyone else had left did he say softly, "Come out."
"Kid, you've won quite a bit of money today." The leader held a black stick in his hand.
Li Ze remained seated and simply hummed in agreement.
At this moment, more than a dozen men in black had surrounded Li Ze.
"You won eight billion from us in one night. Tell me, how are we going to resolve this?"
"Does that mean we can only lose and never win?" Li Ze asked rhetorically.
"Boss, this kid's playing dumb with us. Don't waste time arguing with him, just beat him to the ground and throw him out."
"What do you know? Do you think just anyone can casually pull out a hundred million?" The leader in black flicked his underling on the head, then turned to Li Ze and said, "Take off your mask."
Li Ze looked up at the boss and slowly took off his mask.
"Hey, isn't that Li Ze?"
"Which Li Ze?"
"He Xingjue's legal partner."
"......."
The dozen or so men in black fell silent; this was getting a bit complicated.
"Could it just be that they look alike?" one of the men in black asked, still unwilling to give up.
