"Brothers, let's go too!" Seeing Zhou Xiao leave, Hook and his group also walked out of the blacksmith shop.
After everyone had gone far away, Uncle Wen silently breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at the floor to one side.
The floor on that side of the viewpoint seemed to vibrate slightly up and down, and in the darkness, it looked as if an eyeball was peering through the gap at the light above.
...
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Zhou Xiao headed straight for the fight club. His speed was so fast that even Jarvis behind him couldn't keep up, let alone the Mole Gang of kids.
"Prepare for action!"
Outside the fight club, Seele was leading a group of Earthfire members in the shadows. Just as they were about to make a move, they saw Zhou Xiao and Jarvis rushing into the fight club again.
"What do we do now? Should we continue?"
Upon hearing the members' questions, Xi'er gritted her teeth, deciding to wait a little longer due to Zhou Xiao's strength.
"Wait a little longer, until that Windwalker comes out..."
...
"Boss, Kunfeng is here again!"
Inside the fight club, Scott heard his subordinate's report, and his old face immediately wrinkled like a chrysanthemum: "How come he's so persistent!"
"What should the boss do?"
"What should I do? Tell them I'm not here!"
No sooner had Scott finished speaking than a loud "bang" was heard as the office door was kicked open, and Zhou Xiao's expressionless face appeared in front of Scott.
"Brother Kun...is something the matter?" Scott immediately put on a smiling face and took the initiative to greet him.
"Is there someone here... named Xiao Hao, doing odd jobs?"
"Xiao Hao?"
Upon hearing the name, Scott felt it was unfamiliar. He glanced slightly at his subordinate beside him, who immediately understood and hurriedly shook his head.
"No, I have never remembered having an employee named Xiao Hao."
"Oh? Is that so?" Zhou Xiao's tone turned colder. "Then why did everyone I asked say they had it?"
“...”
"Oh! You mean Xiao Hao? I'd like to hear your 'good news'." The subordinate reacted quickly, slightly changing the subject, and then said:
"Yes, there is such an employee...it seems to be a child, and he hasn't come to work for several days. You know...kids are playful and often run away."
"Run away? I heard..." Zhou Xiao's tone grew increasingly cold, "I heard he's dead..."
"Dead? That's perfectly normal."
The subordinate gave a friendly smile and said, "As you know, this underground area is so chaotic. People die every day, a child dies, it's perfectly normal..."
Upon hearing this answer, Zhou Xiao glanced at his subordinate, then drew his long sword from his waist. As blood dripped from the tip of the sword onto the ground, the people present realized that the Kunfeng Zhe in front of them had killed someone.
“This answer…I don’t like it. Next one, you say it.” Zhou Xiao showed no respect for Scott, pointing the tip of his knife at the next of Scott’s men.
The visual impact of the blood-stained blade was too great, and coupled with Zhou Xiao's indifferent eyes, the other party's legs suddenly went weak. This sense of oppression gave him the feeling that Zhou Xiao really dared to kill him.
"Three...two."
As Zhou Xiao counted down, the long sword was raised.
"I said..." Under this immense pressure, the other party actually revealed what they knew.
It turns out that Xiao Hao really did work at a fight club, but his job was as a sparring partner. To put it nicely, he was a sparring partner; to put it bluntly, he was a punching bag.
Each time I was beaten, I would save a little bit of money as wages.
Hearing the man's description, Zhou Xiao was slightly taken aback.
He vaguely remembered seeing Xiao Hao sometimes limping, and he'd have several bruises on his body. He'd assumed Xiao Hao had been bullied in the mining area, but he never expected it to be here...
Thinking of this, he felt the scabbard in his hand getting hot; it was forged from the blows Xiao Hao had endured.
"Later... we tricked him into participating in the star boxer program..."
The subordinate continued, and what he said further broadened Zhou Xiao's understanding of unscrupulous businessmen.
"What is the 'Star Boxer Project'?"
"The Star Boxer Program is..." Before the subordinate could finish speaking, Scott interrupted, "The Star Boxer Program is..."
"Star boxers are those our club identifies as having potential, and then we invest heavily in developing them!"
Heavy investment... for training?
Zhou Xiao might believe it if someone else said it, but he definitely wouldn't believe it if Scott said it, after all, Scott was a ruthless businessman.
"Is what he said true?" Zhou Xiao asked his subordinate.
The other man first glanced at Scott, who looked at him with a warning look, as if he couldn't say a word more than necessary, while the former's long sword was gleaming brightly in front of him.
It's obvious which is more important.
"I'm sorry, boss..." In order to save his life, the subordinate blurted out the star plan.
After hearing this, Zhou Xiao's face turned terribly gloomy. He never expected that Scott would use the Kunfengzhe gimmick to create such a money-grabbing scheme.
He never expected that he would be fighting against the best of the star boxers in the program these past few times...
The little bit of money he earned from being beaten was all swindled by Swart into some kind of star boxer project... Not only did he not earn any money, but he also incurred a lot of debt and lost his life.
This is just one person, Xiao Hao. It's hard to imagine how many people Scott has scammed using his Kunfengzhe gimmick.
