Chapter 419 Meeting

The gladiatorial contest was at its climax, as the most proud gladiator under the Duke of Tarraco, Ironface, appeared on the stage to fight against the gladiator Boar from Gaul.

The ground of the Colosseum was already soaked with the blood of the gladiators, but the audience was not satisfied. While cheering, they were also discussing fiercely who would be the final winner of the match.

No one cared about the life or death of the gladiators. After all, they were just tools for entertainment. If one died, there would be another. In this age of entertainment to death, no one would care about too many issues.

Of course, Andres, who was just struggling with how to deal with the new sergeant, had already put it out of his mind.

"Hit him, Iron-faced, use the sword in your hand to strike at the back of his neck, and it would be best if you chop off his head in one blow!" The fight was getting intense, and Andres no longer cared about his noble and elegant appearance. He shouted and roared like the usual rude citizens, trying to make his "cash cow" hear him, and hoping that he could take down this big deal in one go.

Inside the arena, everyone was watching the two tall and strong barbarians fighting each other. One of them held a sword, the other an axe, and they were fighting each other like crazy, refusing to give in, like wild beasts with blood-thirsty eyes.

The outstanding performances of both of them were a feast for the eyes of the audience. Yes, this was exactly the exciting fight they wanted to see.

Gladiators exist for the audience's approval, cheers and applause. Even the pain and constant bleeding cannot make either of them afraid. Although the long battle has caused them to be physically exhausted, their movements are so slow and stiff like puppets, and their hands holding the weapons are shaking.

Normally, no matter how strong a body is, it can only last five minutes in a fight. However, they fought back and forth for more than ten minutes. The two strong men were covered in blood and panting. Of course, they had no intention of giving up even now. They must have understood how huge the investment was, just like the financial sponsors behind them. If they failed, it would be an unimaginable loss, so neither of them could fall down and die. However, the fight was always simple, just two people fighting until one of them died.

But at this moment, there was a hurried figure behind the noisy audience seats. The man walked quickly and ran to Andres' seat.

Strangely, Andres' guards did not stop this reckless guy, but let him run in.

"My Lord! My Lord!"

This guy rushed to Andres' side, interrupting Andres' cheers. Before Andres could get angry, the guy said, "Sergeant, the sergeant is here!"

This sentence was like a shot of tranquilizer, instantly calming Andres down. Of course, his calm expression quickly turned into panic, because he never expected that this guy would show up just when the topic was over.

"Where is he?" Andres asked in surprise.

"Yes, in the Governor's Mansion!" The soldier who delivered the message stammered and gasped for breath. It seemed that he had run very hard along the way.

"Damn it, is he sent by God to punish me?" Andres cursed angrily, quickly straightened his clothes, left his seat, and said to the guards around him: "Hurry up, we don't have time to waste here."

Obviously, money is less important than status. Andres could not wait any longer. After all, the famous sergeant had already arrived at his home.

At this time in the Governor's Mansion, Luca sat in the Governor's seat, and below the stage were the generals and the accompanying court officials. Andres' men were also there, and he stood among them, trembling like a lamb caught in a pack of wolves.

"I didn't expect that your Lord Andres was so interested that he even had time to watch the gladiatorial contest. What makes me even more unbelievable is that he is the financial sponsor of it. Incredible, incredible!" Luca said, shaking his head repeatedly, but the guy in front of him was scared. He stood there with his head down and refused to speak. He was really scared, and his legs were shaking.

"If you don't want to talk, then wait here." Lu Jia sat in the seat, stretched his legs comfortably, and then said to him: "Wait, anyway, I just got here, there is plenty of time to wait."

After nearly half an hour, he heard noisy footsteps outside, saw the door in front of the hall suddenly opened, and saw Andres rushing in. He took two or three quick steps forward and then suddenly stopped. He looked around at everyone in the house with wide eyes. Yes, he finally saw the place clearly. Maybe this room has never been so lively.

"I'm sorry." Andres quickly bowed to Luca and apologized, "I didn't know that the soldier commander was here. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"

"You really kept me waiting for a long time, Mr. Andres." Luca said with a long sigh, then slowly stood up from his seat, walked down the steps at a leisurely pace, and came in front of Andres.

"Andres." Luca looked straight into Andres' eyes, which made Andres a little uncomfortable. He didn't believe that this young man had the courage to look him in the eye, so he had to lower his head to avoid meeting Luca's eyes.

"The Duke of Tarraco, who can be said to be the temporary governor, is actually addicted to gladiatorial combat?"

Facing Luca's questioning, Andres did not show the shame he should have shown, but instead held on to a glimmer of hope. Seeing that Luca was dressed in ordinary clothes, had an ordinary appearance, and had nothing in his hand to prove himself, he could not help but become arrogant.

I only heard Andres arrogantly say: "Are you really the captain of the guards? I don't believe it. As the adopted son of Theodosius, you must have an extraordinary appearance, but you don't look like a noble. Are you hiding in the crowd to tease me on purpose?"

After saying that, Andres looked around at the people around him. Everyone kept their mouths shut and didn't say a word, looking at Andres quietly, which made him very embarrassed. He then looked at Luga in front of him.

At this time, John Anthony walked out of the crowd, holding in his hand the scepter that Andres mentioned.

"I told you!" Andres' eyes lit up, but then his gaze changed from expectation to surprise, because he saw John Anthony come to Luca, salute solemnly, and then respectfully hand the scepter to Luca with both hands.

Luca did not feel any discomfort. He just took the scepter casually, and kept tapping it in his hands as if it were a piece of wood, and looked at Andres.

Lu Jia smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Andres is also a smart person. But look at me, do I look like someone who likes to joke?"

Now there was no excuse. Andres' face turned pale. He had nothing to say but bowed slightly and said, "I'm sorry, sir. I, I didn't mean to offend you."
