Chapter 96 White Dragon
"hyena!!!"
"hyena!!!"
"hyena!!!"
The gamblers around him, their eyes bloodshot with rage, wished they could rush up and kill the hyena's opponent for him.
After three deadly rounds, the referee finally stepped onto the blood-soaked ring and raised Bai Long's right hand, whose bones were already deformed and twisted.
Bai Long swayed, his face and body covered in dirty, discolored bloodstains.
The unconscious hyena was carried away by several medical staff.
The audience erupted in uproar.
"The hyenas are absolutely fucking ripping the match!!!"
One spectator, who had clearly lost a lot of money, started cursing and tried to rush onto the ring with his men, yelling, "I bet so much money on you... and you lost it all!!!"
Cheng Zheng instinctively brought his bodyguards to protect Luo Huayi.
Before they could react, a group of armed security guards silently appeared next to the audience member.
The remaining angry audience members immediately calmed down.
The troublemaker was gagged and dragged out, and his bodyguards and thugs didn't even make a ripple.
However, this incident did not disrupt the order of the boxing ring.
Han Wei rested his chin on his hand and looked towards the arena. "Mr. Luo, you're really lucky. You actually bet on the White Dragon..."
"Thanks to you, I've won quite a bit too. How about we grab a drink to celebrate?"
Luo Huayi was about to refuse, but then she remembered that Han Wei was familiar with cruise ships, so she swallowed her words and said, "Let me treat Mr. Han instead."
Han Wei is so familiar with cruise ships, maybe he can persuade Han Wei to help him find someone.
The two men, accompanied by their assistants and bodyguards, had just reached the door when they heard a loud shout from the crowd: "The target, Bai Long, is over there!"
The mercenaries and servants of the Exorcism and Eternal Life Society immediately surrounded them.
Bai Long emerged from the other side, limping.
The bloodstains and wounds on his body were shocking.
"Take Bailong back!" The leader of his men approached him menacingly. "Keep him under strict guard, and prepare for a kidney transplant as soon as he's back..."
Before they could get close, a gunshot rang out beside them.
The mercenaries immediately drew their guns and aimed them at the source of the threat.
From the other exit, a number of security guards in different uniforms emerged and confronted them from their respective sides.
"What's going on..." The man sensed something was wrong, his voice turning grim. "Are the people from the arena going against our Eternal Life and Dispelling Calamity Society?"
He refused to believe in evil and took another step forward, ready to lead his men to charge forward and subdue the white dragon.
The client is waiting for this person's kidney, and he can't let anyone interfere with their church's work.
Moreover, cruise ships have never interfered in church affairs before...
"Bang."
Another gunshot rang out, followed by the scream of a man clutching his arm and collapsing in front of Bai Long, "Ah!!!"
The remaining mercenaries finally realized something was wrong.
What's going on?
Are the people in the arena protecting the White Dragon?
But wasn't the White Dragon just a commodity sold into the church?
"What are you standing there for?!" The man was covered in sweat, his expression contorted with agony from the gunshot wound. "Gun—"
"Sir, isn't it too offensive to casually lay a hand on someone else's subordinate?" A sinister voice came from behind the arena security guard, who then made way for the person behind him.
With his bodyguards protecting him, Han Wei watched the farce from a distance with great interest. "Looks like those blind lackeys have kicked a hornet's nest."
When Luo Huayi saw Xin Que's figure, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally began to slowly relax.
"Who are you?" The man didn't recognize Xin Que's disguise at first. "You actually managed to mobilize the arena's security..."
A man in a well-tailored suit walked up to Xin Que. The gold-plated name tag on his impeccably tailored suit read "Person in Charge".
He ignored the farce unfolding before him, extended his hand directly to Xin Que, and said in a gentle but clear voice, “Ms. Xin, Chairman Jin asked me to tell you that he has seen your sincerity… It’s a pleasure to cooperate.”
Xin Que smiled, and after a while, raised her hand to loosely shake the person in charge's hand, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
These people in the arena are really cunning.
On one hand, he exposed her identity to provoke hatred towards her, and on the other hand, he reminded her of the deal with the arena.
The members of the Exorcism and Eternal Life Society looked shocked. "You are... lot number 22, Xin Que?"
The fact that their prey had turned into a partner in the arena was something they found hard to accept.
"How is this possible?" the man exclaimed in shock. "How could you possibly be connected to the gladiatorial arena...?"
Xin Que, the auctioned item, became a VIP in the arena, while Bai Long, the escaped cargo, became a boxer under Xin Que's command...
The man couldn't understand how the situation could have changed so drastically in just one day!
"Someone, remove these troublesome mercenaries," the person in charge said, his gaze sweeping over the church members confronting Xin Que. His voice was devoid of emotion. "Also, send someone else to take Miss Xin and her people to their guest rooms for proper accommodation."
"Please don't hesitate to ask if you need anything." The person in charge followed Xin Que, protecting her as she left the crowd.
Bai Long coldly glanced at the helpless man in front of him, then dragged his heavily injured body and limped after Xin Que.
The onlookers gathered around several times, but no one dared to stop them anymore.
...
When Xin Que returned to the suite, medical staff were treating Ji Mingchuan's wounds.
Ji Mingchuan's mental state has not recovered much.
His numb, lifeless eyes only moved after the bandages were tied, the medical staff packed up their things, said goodbye to Xin Que, and left.
"They escaped..."
"I really... escaped..." Ji Mingchuan's voice was hoarse, but you could hear the relief of surviving a disaster in his voice.
"How did you end up in their hands?" Xin Que asked him, leaning against the cabinet. "And you even ended up having your kidneys harvested."
Ji Mingchuan's stiff gaze fell on Xin Que. After a long while, he struggled to organize his thoughts, "I was tricked into going abroad by an old friend of the Chang family... and then..."
"When I was working for the Chang family, the enemies I offended came looking for me."
Xin Que understood, "After all, he is the head of a branch of Xuanhe Hall, so his value is indeed not low."
Ji Mingchuan was taken aback. "You know about my past?"
Xin Que tossed him a bottle of mineral water. "The information card on the cage says it all clearly, even your code name, Bai Long, is written there."
When Ji Mingchuan's past involvement with the underworld was mentioned, his expression remained unchanged. "Xuanhe Hall has long been disbanded. The titles of hall masters... are all just fleeting memories."
"But you," Ji Mingchuan said, having recovered considerably, looking at his current employer, "are you Chang Qin or Xin Que?"
Xin Que shrugged. "Does it matter what my identity is?"
Ji Mingchuan thought of what she had said when she rescued him from the cage.
“Ji Mingchuan,” the woman reached out and forcefully pulled him into the ventilation duct, “I have a way to rescue you from the Eternal Life Society and get you safely off the cruise ship back home, but from now on…”
"You are my henchman."
