“Snap! Snap! Snap!”

"Please, stop, I know I was wrong, I won't run away, please, stop!"

“Snap! Snap! Snap!”

The man who caught the fleeing man had no intention of showing mercy, and whip after whip fell on the man's back.

After a dozen or so lashes, the man's back was torn apart. Not only did the blood soak his clothes, but the flesh and blood were even stuck to the clothes.

The man couldn't bear the pain, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Seeing this scene, Haley couldn't help but cover her mouth and frowned.

The other people in the basement seemed to be used to this kind of thing and knew that this would be the outcome of escaping, so they were not too surprised.

Those people either took the bills to exchange for real bills, or hung their heads and stamped their feet, cursing that they had bet on the wrong thing.

"What's going on? Why would you do this?"

After a while, when Haley calmed down, she looked at the man and asked in confusion.

"Nothing, just the price to pay for getting benefits!"

The man shrugged and looked at the man being dragged away with a nonchalant look.

"Actually, nothing would have happened if he hadn't run away."

"Do you think I'm blind? That person was obviously afraid of something, so he ran away. And even if he ran away, it wouldn't be like this, unless he couldn't run away!"

Haley clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, not believing what the man in front of her said.

If there was really nothing wrong, how could that man run away?

"I said, if you want to gain something, you have to pay a corresponding price. And if he doesn't run away, nothing will happen.

However, he needs to pay a price before he can leave here. But that price is what he should pay, so it doesn't count. "

"What's the price?" Haley asked with a frown.

"Nothing, just some work, or some things from your body." The man shrugged and said it lightly.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Lin Han and Haley both understood what he meant.

Mr. Yuri is not short of money, at least not small sums of money, so he wants to use those people in exchange for large sums of money.

Being a banker can make money, but not a huge amount of money. That is his main way of making money!

"What? Are you scared? You didn't come to see Mr. Yuri without any preparation? Do you really think it's easy to get in here?

That's too naive, you have no idea who you are dealing with, right?"

The man paused, then raised his head and sneered triumphantly.

"Mr. Yuri is a local tyrant, so we must be prepared!"

"Stop talking nonsense. I will pay the price. Just tell me how much it will cost!"

Haley was furious at being provoked. Since they came, they must be prepared.

And they couldn't come three days later, after all, the competition would have started by then, and they had to see Mr. Yuri immediately, so she had to participate in this competition.

"Mr. Yuri has no shortage of money, and this is not the price he wants you to pay." The man smiled and shook his head.

"But aren't you doing this just to make more money?"

"Yes, that's right. We have no problem with money, but Mr. Yuri sees something more valuable in you. After all, women have more valuable things than men."

The man pursed his lips and looked at Haley's figure in front of him with interest.

"For example, your body!"

Of course Haley would be angry when being looked at so unscrupulously by a man.

"You wish!" She looked at the man and said coldly.

"This is not something I can decide. It is Mr. Yuri who wants you, and you have a choice. However, it is not to choose to use other things as a price, but to leave here."

The man's attitude was firm.

If Haley doesn't agree, they can only leave.

This also made Haley grit her teeth because they had no choice at all.

And then the man spoke again, deliberately angering Haley.

"It seems like you really have no ability! Or your strength has declined, otherwise why would you worry about losing this matter? If you can beat the little characters here, then you don't have to pay any price. Isn't it?"

Indeed, he was right. As long as you can win, you don’t have to worry about losing.

But the question is, this man smiled so sinisterly, does this game look so easy to win?

But Haley didn't think too much about it. I don't know if she felt that she would definitely win and didn't have to worry about losing, or if she was already irritated by the provocation.

"Okay! I promise you!" She agreed to it.

"Great!" The man smiled with satisfaction after hearing Haley's answer.

At this moment, Lin Han stood up and said gloomily, "I want to compete on behalf of Miss Haley, and I will pay the price!"

Lin Han smelled a conspiracy from the man's face. He felt that this game was not easy, so Haley could not be allowed to play.

Since anyone can participate in this competition, then it’s okay for him to come, right?

However, the man refused on the spot, and even showed disdain:

"I'm sorry, but we're not doing business with a nobody, and a bodyguard's body can't compare to Miss Hailey's."

"I am……"

"I know who you are! You're not just any bodyguard!"

Before Lin Han could finish his words, he was interrupted by the man. The man looked at Lin Han with an expression as if he saw through everything, and slowly told him all the information he knew.

"Your name is Lin Han, and you are a contestant of the World Treasure Appraisal Competition, and the champion of this year's National Treasure Appraisal Competition in your country. But so what? Whether you are qualified or not is not up to you, but us!"

This man's arrogant attitude really angered Lin Han. He had seen many arrogant people, but he had never seen anyone as arrogant as this one.

He's just a gatekeeper, but he doesn't take people seriously.

"Forget it, Lin Han. Since I am the only one qualified to participate in the competition, let me do it!"

Haley sighed and said helplessly.

She knew very well that this place was someone else's territory, and they needed help, so she had to be humble.

Besides, she wouldn't necessarily lose. The treasure appraisers in this place were just small-time figures. They were definitely far inferior to her, unless her strength had really declined.

But she herself knows her own abilities best. Her strength has not declined, and has even improved compared to when she won the World Treasure Appraisal Competition.

So she doesn't have to worry about losing the game and the consequences of losing the game.

"Then please!"

The man raised the corner of his mouth and smiled very sinisterly. He stepped aside, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
