Realizing that she might be sent abroad, Mu Anan immediately increased the strength of her grip on the other party’s mouth and pinned her to the wall.
“If you can understand me, blink twice.”
Mu Anan had just finished speaking when the other party hurriedly blinked twice in panic.
Mu Anan said again, “I’ll let go of you now, but you’re not allowed to scream or else…”
With that, her eyes darkened. “I’ll snap your neck immediately, do you hear
me?”
As soon as this warning was issued, the foreigner immediately nodded in fear and then shook her head in panic. She was very anxious.
She anxiously told Mu Anan that she understood her warning and would not shout.
Although the other party was eager to explain the situation, Mu Anan did not fully believe her.
When she released the foreigner’s mouth, she was very vigilant. Her muscles were tense, waiting for the person to not cooperate and make a sound. She would immediately grab the person’s neck!
Fortunately, when Mu Anan released her, the other party only showed a terrified expression and did not make a sound.
Mu Anan pushed her away slowly.
The foreigner had already collapsed against the wall.
Mu Anan pulled a chair over and sat down facing the foreigner. She spread her legs slightly and rested her elbows on her thighs as she leaned closer to the foreigner.
“Now, I’ll ask you a few questions. Answer me truthfully.” Mu Anan’s face was cold and her voice was very low. “Otherwise, I’ll kill you immediately, understand?”
The other party immediately nodded.
“What’s your name?” Mu Anan asked.
“Zhang Yun.” the other party said.
It was obvious that he had been educated for a long time. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to make such a standard sound.
If one didn’t look at her face or figure, one wouldn’t think that she was a foreigner just by hearing her voice and name.
Mu Anan continued to size up the foreigner in front of her suspiciously.
It was very beautiful.
She had blonde hair, smoky blue eyes, a high nose bridge, and fair skin, but the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes still revealed her age.
Mu Anan estimated that the other party was around forty years old.
Perhaps even bigger.
-What is this place?” Mu Anan glanced at the bushes outside the bay window, then turned back to stare at the foreign woman called Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun replied, “The preparation room.”
“What?” Mu Anan did not understand.
Zhang Yun said carefully, “This is the preparation room for the contestants. I don’t know the exact address. When I was brought here, I was blindfolded.”
Contestant?
The preparation room?
Mu Anan frowned. She did not quite understand the term she had given her.
Zhang Yun nodded. “Miss, I won’t hurt you.”
After saying that, Zhang Yun wanted to stand up, but Mu Anan shot her a look. Zhang Yun leaned against the wall and squatted down timidly.
“Speak clearly.” Mu Anan ordered.
Zhang Yun said, “The preparation room is for the fighters to rest. I’m the servant responsible for taking care of the fighters to ensure that they are in their best condition.”
“Boxing?” Mu Anan asked.
Zhang Yun nodded. “Tonight, you’ll be partic.i.p.ating in the Rank-1 and Rank-2 bronze games.”
“Rank 1 and 2 Bronze Game?” Mu Anan asked, “So, there are other scenarios?” “This match is called the ninth rank match.” Zhang Yun nodded and explained.
As the name suggested, there were a total of nine stages and five days of boxing matches.
The first day was the first stage, the bronze stage.
The second day was the Silver Round.
The fifth and sixth steps were the third day, the Golden Round.
The seventh and eighth steps were the fourth day, the diamond round.
The ninth is the King’s Game!”
Mu Anan listened to Zhang Yun’s fluent introduction to the Ladder Boxing Compet.i.tion.
Mu Anan was no stranger to this boxing match.
She had heard from Black Tea that there was one of the most mysterious and exciting forms of underground boxing. It was the ninth-rank boxing compet.i.tion.
In the past, Mu Anan had never thought of partic.i.p.ating, so she did not know much about it.
After listening to Zhang Yun’s explanation, she was certain that this Rank-9 game was the game that Black Tea had mentioned before.
Mu Anan asked, “What if I lose?”
“Die!” Zhang Yun answered with certainty, “Whether it’s the Bronze Game or the King Game, there’s an unwritten rule. If the person in the boxing ring wants to live, he must win. Otherwise, he will become one of the countless sacrifices in the boxing ring.”
It was a very cruel compet.i.tion.
Mu Anan didn’t continue asking.
She glanced at the room. The person who sent her here was either someone from the Jiang family or the boss behind the scenes.
Mu Anan was wondering why they had sent her here.
Did he want her to die in the ring?
However, since the behind-the-scenes boss could spend a year training an identical Mu Anan, he must know that Mu Anan had been personally taught by the underground queen.
It was not that easy to kill her.
Moreover, if the other party wanted her dead, he could have killed her when she was unconscious. Why would he go through so much trouble?
Mu Anan was trying to figure out the other party’s motive, and at the same time, she subconsciously placed her hand on her back.
The wound had already been treated, but after all, it had been separated from the flesh and sprinkled with salt and chili. Now, as long as she held it a little, it would hurt like h.e.l.l.
She didn’t feel anything in his right leg.
While Mu Anan was silent, Zhang Yun, who was squatting against the wall, reminded her, “Miss, you have two bronze matches tonight. It’s in two hours. You should rest well now…”
Zhang Yun paused for a few seconds. “Don’t even think about escaping.
“What’s wrong?” Mu Anan turned to look at Zhang Yun.
Zhang Yun pointed at Mu Anan’s right wrist.
Mu Anan looked down and realized that she was wearing a silver bracelet on her right wrist.
She subconsciously wanted to take it off, but she could not move at all. Instead, the more she pulled, the tighter the bracelet tightened around Mu Anan’s wrist. Zhang Yun quickly reminded her, “Miss, don’t pull it. This is a digital control. The more you move, the tighter it will be. In serious cases, it can strangle your entire wrist off.”
“Is this a device to prevent escape?” Mu Anan asked. At the same time, she noticed that Zhang Yun was wearing the same thing on her right wrist.
Zhang Yun nodded. “Yes! Everyone here has to wear it, and the player’s setting is that as long as they leave the room, an alarm will be triggered. The vicious dogs in the room will attack from all directions and gnaw the player until not even bones are left.”
As Zhang Yun spoke, her face was filled with fear. Even his shoulders were trembling.
She could only lean against the wall to get some comfort.
It was obvious that she had seen this scene before, which was why she was so afraid.
Mu Anan stared at the digital control bracelet on her wrist. “So, if I run, I’ll become the food of the vicious dogs. If I don’t have enough strength, I’ll die in the ring.”
As Mu Anan spoke, she slowly raised her eyes and locked them on the face of a foreign woman named Zhang Yun.
Then, she said, “If I want to escape, I have to fight to the ninth step and defeat the king tier of the ninth step before I can leave?”
