Chapter 49: The Boss
Standing behind Fang Yuan, the steward forced a smile.
“Sir, this is an order from our boss. He wants to see you. Please wait here for a moment. The boss will be here soon.”
As Fang Yuan turned back to look at the steward, he shifted his gaze back to the huge iron cage. He was full of contempt in his heart. This boss of the Yinhan Colosseum was too stingy. It was obvious that he didn’t want Fang Yuan to continue earning money. The Colosseum had earned so much, yet the boss actually did not want him to earn even such a small amount of money. That was just acceptable!
Fang Yuan wondered what kind of person the boss of the Yinhan Colosseum would be. He waited silently, calculating what kind of att.i.tude he would have to face the other party later.
“Boss, this is Super Powerful, the contestant who registered today.”
Hearing the manager’s respectful introduction behind him, Fang Yuan turned around. When he saw the boss of the Colosseum, he almost could not help but exclaim in surprise. Was this even a person?
This was a miniature version of the t.i.tan Bear.
If he slightly changed his race, perhaps the owner of the Colosseum was even bigger than the t.i.tan Bear!
When he stood up, he was at least 1.9 meters tall. He was not really burly, but he was quite a good match. His neck couldn’t be seen, and his arms were more than twice as thick as Fang Yuan’s thighs!
When he took a step forward, the fat on his body set off waves. It even gave Fang Yuan the illusion of an earthquake.
“You are Super Powerful.”
While Fang Yuan was looking at Yue Shan, Yue Shan was also looking at Fang Yuan.
Yue Shan loathed troublesome people who messed up the Colosseum by themselves. Those who hindered him from making money could be cla.s.sified as enemies.
A few years ago, Yue Shan would not even want to see Fang Yuan. He would have directly ordered his subordinates to throw the troublemakers into the sea to feed the sharks.
In the past few years, the management had been strict. The Yinhan Colosseum had no choice but to restrain its arrogance. Yue Shan that gradually hid behind the scenes and would not normally appear in front of others.
“It’s me. Why are you looking for me? I’m still waiting to go on stage to earn money.”
As expected, Yue Shan’s wrinkled face was now scrunched up. This brought a sense of humor to his dignity.
Fang Yuan did not find it funny at all. Yue Shan gave him a lot of pressure, which was much scarier than when he was facing more than thirty trainers!
Yue Shan had definitely killed people before, and he had also been to higher-level secret realms.
He was even considered a regular visitor in secret realms. Fang Yuan could feel the imposing manner that came from fighting a big group of enemies. This was not something that a trainer who was enjoying peace at the back could have.
“It’s okay if you want to fight. Let’s have a fight. As long as you beat me, you can continue to fight. If you lose, you shall never appear in the Colosseum again!”
His voice suddenly became louder. In the bas.e.m.e.nt that was over a thousand square meters, the echo arrived in an instant, which shocked everyone.
It had to be said that such an aura could really daunt someone who was not as experienced as Fang Yuan.
“It’s okay to fight, but there must be some rewards, right?”
Yue Shan tilted his head, but unfortunately, he still… had not thought about rewards.
“What rewards?”
“Money or resources. If there’s nothing, I don’t have time to play with you.”
Yue Shan frowned even more. His flat face was full of wrinkles. No one could tell his age from his face..
“Then let’s bet on this.”
A golden light then appeared behind Yue Shan, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Fang Yuan.
It was not an ordinary majestic pet beast, but a fully grown iron griffin!
It did not spread its wings. Just by standing there, it was almost five meters tall. Its golden feathers and retracted wingspan could still give fang yuan a strong deterrent. It told Fang Yuan all the time that this wingspan could give fang yuan a fatal threat!
He immediately recalled the story that the attendant had told him in the pet shop.
There were two iron griffin in total, and the one sold in the shop was a female. The other male iron griffin was bought by a big shot in the Colosseum.
It must be the one in Yue Shan’s hands!
“You used… the iron griffin as a bet?”
Fang Yuan was not sure. If the best was the iron griffin, he would be very interested and fight it with all his might.
Yue Shan could see Fang Yuan’s greed, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face. “Are you interested?”
“Of course. Since you’re using the iron griffin as a bet, then I… Come out, Iris Spider King!”
There was a gold-quality pet standing behind each of them. The att.i.tude of both parties was self-evident. They were betting on the battle between their pet beasts!
Sharp gazes met. Yue Shan had a huge body, but he could not suppress Fang Yuan’s aura.
A soul that had traveled between life and death could easily crush the psychological barrier of the opponent.
Seeing that Fang Yuan was able to remain calm under his aura, Yue Shan’s eyes revealed a hint of satisfaction. He also started to look at Fang Yuan.
After receiving Yue Shan’s partial approval, Fang Yuan could not help but become more interested in talking, “In the past, the No. 9 Coliseum was used as a stage for a deathmatch. No matter how many people were stuffed into it or what level of trainer it was, there was only one condition to end the battle and open the cage—when there was only one living person left inside.”
Listening to Yue Shan’s narration, the huge cage in Fang Yuan’s eyes seemed to have an endless amount of blood. Some of the mottled areas seemed to have acc.u.mulated many vengeful souls.
“The Beast Colosseum was the real Beast Colosseum back then, but now… Ah, forget it, it’s a place for people to play.”
He could hear the dissatisfaction in Yue Shan’s words.
Since Yue Shan was not in a hurry, Fang Yuan was happy to broaden his horizons. “Since you like to wander in the b.l.o.o.d.y world, why don’t you go to the mystic realm? That place should be more suitable for you.”
“Hahaha…”
The deep laughter hurt Fang Yuan’s eardrums, and he could not help but frown.
After laughing so crazily until he could not breathe, Yue Shan coughed and took a deep breath,
“Do you think it’s so easy to explore the mystic realm? Many of my men have fallen there and could never be able to stand up!”
So that was the case. Fang Yuan curled his lips. No matter how much he said, it was just an excuse, and he had lost the courage to enter the Mystic Realm.
“Let’s begin. I like my prize very much.”
As he spoke, Fang Yuan’s eyes were burning as he looked at the Iron Griffin behind Yue Shan. He did not hide his greed at all.
The topic was forcefully changed by Fang Yuan, which infuriated Yue Shan. His plan could not continue. He was not talking to Fang Yuan because he was bored. Yue Shan had taken a liking to Fang Yuan because of his strength If Fang Yuan joined the Colosseum, there would thus be another powerful trainer.
The more powerful trainers there were, the more markets they could compete for. Yinhan was not the only Underground Colosseum, so the compet.i.tion was quite fierce.
With anger in his heart, Yue Shan looked at Fang Yuan gloomily, then turned around and walked into the huge iron cage.
Fang Yuan chuckled and followed him in. With a loud bang, the huge iron fence fell, separating the iron cage from the outside world, which created an environment for a fight to the death.
The host then announced the rules, “Super Powerful VS the boss of the Yinhan Colosseum! This is a one-on-one battle; fight till death. During the fight, only one pet can be changed.”
“Begin!”!
“Mountain-opening Ape! Add gravity!”
Just as the iron gate was closed, Yue Shan’s deep roar sounded, and the fight was about to start!
Fang Yuan did not want to be in a weak state, so he immediately commanded loudly, “Iris Spider King!”
“Come out, t.i.tan Bear!”
