Shen Bei'an remained seated on Gu Nan'an's lap, while Shen Juanqing and the other two emerged from behind the screen.
Gu Nanyan shook his head slightly at Shen Juanqing to indicate that it was alright.
Ning Yao cleaned up the vomit and wondered whether she should bring up the second part of the story.
"Honey, the first bet was a great success. Are you going to bet again on the second one?" Gu Nanyan asked proactively.
Shen Bei'an's choice of the first person in the first match was purely a guess, as the two were of similar strength and had played similar matches.
Shen Bei'an chose Josiah purely because he had once read a novel in which there was a boxer named Josiah.
They won by sheer chance.
Shen Bei'an nodded, his emotions having stabilized considerably. Ning Yao quickly operated the machine. Just like the first round, there were still two people, only this time both contestants were women.
One looked very refined and polite, while the other looked cold and aloof.
The odds for both players are even lower than in the previous match!
That refined and polite person only has odds of 1.3!
Upon reading her description, Shen Bei'an instantly felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of that person. "Can you use poison?"
That seemingly refined and polite woman was actually a master of poisons!
They've played more matches than the two players in the previous match.
Ning Yao explained in a timely manner, "It's not allowed according to the rules, but it's fine as long as no one notices it."
"Yoshiko Kawashima was not only a master of poison, but also a Japanese ninja."
"Wait, isn't this the one who greeted us outside just now..." Shen Beian remembered why this person looked so familiar. Wasn't she the woman standing outside behind Shirakawa Yoshinori?
"Yes, Yoshiko Kawashima is Mr. Shirakawa's adopted daughter, and she is considered a boxer in the underground boxing ring."
With this connection, coupled with Yoshiko Kawashima's exceptional skill in using poison, almost no one noticed.
"So Kawashima Yoshiko is destined to win this round?" Shen Beian detested the practice of pre-determining the outcome, both normally and especially in a life-or-death battle like this.
Ning Yao gently shook her head. "Lord Brown, you might want to take a look at the other lady."
Yoshinori Shirakawa was only a manager at the underground boxing ring and didn't have that much authority.
Besides, she's just an adopted daughter. Shirakawa Yoshinori has many adopted daughters and sons, so he wouldn't care about this one.
Shen Beian turned his head to look over.
Doreen, the above introduction describes her as a skilled doctor, or a member of the Medical Alliance!
“Doreen is the adopted daughter of His Excellency Jones of the Medical Alliance. His Excellency Jones’ full name is Arnor Jones, and he is an important professor in the Medical Alliance,” Ning Yao introduced.
Therefore, in terms of status, Doreen's status is far higher than that of Kawashima Yoshiko.
If the two in the first match were just ordinary mercenaries and boxers, then the identities of these two are quite interesting.
"A connection between two people with connections?" This thought suddenly popped into Shen Bei'an's mind.
Ning Yao was taken aback; what he said didn't seem wrong.
"It can only be said that the boxing ring doesn't help anyone; it's just a matter of each fighter relying on their own abilities," Ning Yao continued.
If an ordinary boxing ring could have some kind of shady dealings, this is an underground boxing ring on Fuyun Island!
Every boxing match can kill someone; every boxing match involves a life!
Pay money to buy your life?
We also need to see if we have the money to spend!
Shen Beian disliked both of them. If he disliked Kawashima Yoshiko because of her nationality and name, then he hated Doreen because of her adoptive father. He loved her so much that he also hated her because of her adoptive father.
"I wonder which one Lord Brown intends to bestow the title upon?" Ning Yao asked again.
Shen Beian looked at Kawashima Yoshiko's introduction and then at Doreen's introduction. "Doreen, it's still three million Imperial Coins."
I chose the one I disliked more from the two people I disliked.
"Yes, Lord Brown."
The three black gold cards were always placed on the wooden table next to Ning Yao. There would be five matches today, and it was expected that the private rooms on the second floor would all be betting.
Those who can get a private room on the second floor are naturally wealthy, and most of them are regulars at the underground boxing ring.
"Follow." Neither Shen Juanqing nor Xie Yunyu both analyzed the situation; they simply followed Shen Bei'an.
If they made a profit, they would buy gifts for Shen Bei'an later; if they lost money, they would just use it to make Shen Bei'an happy.
Thirty million Imperial Coins to win a smile from Master Shen is well worth it.
The betting for the second round was completed quickly, and the two sides were still evenly matched, with similar betting amounts.
Shen Beian composed himself and looked down.
The two women clashed head-on, fist to fist.
Unlike the first match, both players are now clearly suspected of using drugs…
Even Shen Bei'an could see it, let alone someone who understands martial arts?
In no time, streaks of blood appeared on the two women's bodies.
"Isn't this breaking the rules?" Shen Bei'an turned to ask Ning Yao.
Ning Yao held a tablet in her hand the whole time. Each private room on the second floor had a dedicated staff member who would give them a tablet that contained information about the contestants and the scoring system.
"No, those two contestants who both use poison signed a pre-match agreement that allows them to use poison."
Both of them are somewhat immune to all poisons. Kawashima Yoshiko goes without saying, and Doreen was an excellent experimental subject for Arnor.
Ning Yao learned from people in the Medical Alliance that Doreen had grown up in a jar of poison since childhood; in other words, she was a drug person of Arnor.
Yoshiko Kawashima didn't grow up on Fuyun Island, so Ning Yao also favored Doreen in this match.
Shen Beian nodded, "So that's how it works."
No wonder they're so brazen.
Meanwhile, some spectators in the viewing area were drooling and commenting on the two men's figures, which earned them a flick on the forehead from a woman nearby.
