Chapter 165
…
Although there were no laws in the swamp, it was a tacitly accepted rule that fighting in the city's busy streets was prohibited. After all, with the abilities of interstellar humans, even simple hand-to-hand combat could potentially harm others, not to mention the use of firearms like mechas.
But rules are rules. If you can compensate for the losses caused by the battle several times over, no one will stop you if a fight really breaks out. There may even be a large number of onlookers who are eager to watch the fun and add fuel to the fire.
To sum it up in one sentence, if you don’t have money, even if there is a conflict, you have to endure it, mark out the path, and then fight it out properly.
The so-called "Tao" is the fighting arena set up in each city in the swamp, or a privately set up arena.
Although Li Li wanted to teach these three ungrateful guys a lesson right now, he was very rational. Although he had just received a huge sum of money, he was used to being poor. Teaching these three scum a lesson was not worth his huge loss.
"Captain, why are you doing this? We just want you to divide the proceeds fairly as agreed."
Xia Qiu quickly replied, "Yes, there's no need to make a big fuss. As long as you, Captain..."
"Oh, no need to be so hypocritical. If you three want to seize the treasure, you'll have to defeat me. Zhao Hai, I don't need to book the arena, right?" Li Li interrupted Xia Qiu and glanced at Zhao Hai. This man had always acted so refined and polite in the team, but he didn't expect his true face to be so greedy. Xia Qiu was at least a real villain, but Zhao Hai was a complete hypocrite.
Zhao Hai glanced at Li Li, but didn't respond immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and fiddled with the communicator in his hand for a while. After a while, he raised his head, looked at Li Li with a faint smile on his lips and said, "Well, since the captain insists so much, let's meet at the third arena in the east city at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. The rules are: life and death competition, with no more than five people on each side. As for the demise of the party, all property belongs to the winner. What do you think, captain?"
"Zhao Hai, you have to be so ruthless!!" Upon hearing that it was a life-or-death duel, Aaron's eyes widened and he looked at Zhao Hai. He never expected that Zhao Hai would remain silent for a long time, not only not giving up, but also wanting to fight the captain in a life-or-death duel.
"Captain, you must not agree to this!" Seeing that Zhao Hai was unmoved and staring at the captain, A Long immediately turned around and tried to persuade Li Li.
He didn't expect Zhao Hai to be such a person. Zhao Hai was very famous in their city. He was the "other people's child" in everyone's eyes. He was the peer that his mother always pointed out as a role model since he was a child. He didn't expect that his true face would be like this.
"Why, it was the captain who said he wanted to fight, and now you want to go back on your word? This is not impossible..." Seeing that Li Li didn't say anything, Zhao Hai sneered in his heart.
"I will show up on time tomorrow." Li Li interrupted the other party. He felt really sick and didn't want to hear another word.
"Captain, you're so straightforward. See you tomorrow!" Zhao Hai sneered when he saw Li Li dare to agree. He was really a fool. He would definitely win the ring match tomorrow.
He had just contacted his father, who took this matter very seriously and would contact four A-level experts for support. According to the information he had just received, Li Li was merely a fire-type user with B-level mental and physical strength. He was a loner, had no family, and had very few friends. How could he compare to someone like him? He was overestimating himself.
Zhao Hai stood up, glanced at Li Li condescendingly, said something and left the simple intermediate capsule tent.
"Brother Zhao, wait for us, we can help in tomorrow's battle..." Seeing Zhao Hai leave, Xia Qiu hurriedly pulled A Kuan and caught up.
"In that case, then follow me. When we win, we'll divide everything we get equally." Zhao Hai paused, looked at the flattering Xia Qiu and A Kuan she was holding, and smiled as he asked them to follow.
These two idiots each have a special energy stone in their hands. Since they've followed him, it saves him the trouble. He can just take them away first...
At this moment, Xia Qiu and A Kuan, who were looking flattering, were overjoyed when they heard Zhao Hai's words, and they didn't even notice the hint of murderous intent in each other's eyes.
