From their entangled little thumbs, Mu Anan acquired a sense of security.
When she woke up, she realized that she had been in a tense state ever since she was trapped here.
Since the first bronze boxing match, Mu Anan had gone back and forth six times in three consecutive days. Every time she walked down the long corridor or in the car, she would be tense.
Nervousness, depression, fear.
She was not afraid of anything. She was afraid of death.
She was also worried she would die in the ring.
However, she had to suppress these fears every time. She had to tense herself up and force herself to be in her best state.
But now.
Knowing that this man was by her side, she had never felt so at ease.
The car stopped. Mu Anan followed the previous path through a very long corridor until she heard noisy voices in her ears. Before anyone could remind her, Mu Anan had already stopped and removed the blindfold on her face.
She wondered if it was because she knew that man was by her side, so she felt super safe.
Anyway, after Mu Anan took off her blindfold, she did not look as serious as before. Her whole body was tense as she waited for the life-and-death ring.
Instead, he admired the door in front of him.
The bronze-tier door was made of broken bra.s.s and iron, which was particularly dilapidated and all rusted and mottled.
The door of the Silver tier was indeed silver, not to mention gold.
The diamond one was much more stylish. Although it was not totally made of diamonds, the top pattern was inlaid with diamonds.
“Put it on.” Xiao Pang reminded her impatiently. It was obvious that Mu Anan had been staring at the door for too long.
On the other side, Zong Zhengyu, who was fully armed, just raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Pang.
Xiao Pang was about to push Mu Anan away, but he felt as if his body had been p.r.i.c.ked by a sharp object. He felt a chill run down his spine.
He subconsciously looked at the person opposite him, but the person had already picked up the white mask for Mu Anan. He looked completely different.
Xiao Pang shook his head, feeling that he was overthinking.
Seventh Master helped Mu Anan put on the mask. When he lowered his hand, he pinched Mu Anan’s ear, “Enjoy.”
His voice was low, but Mu Anan could hear him since they were close to each other.
Her heart, which had already felt safe, seemed to have been reinforced with a layer of protection because of these three words. She felt even more at ease.
Even her wounds didn’t hurt anymore.
Mu Anan lowered her head and began to wrap her hands in bandages.
Everything was over. The heavy door was pushed open, and a strong light was reflected in Mu Anan’s eyes and ears along with the shouts and screams of the crowd.
When she looked up, she noticed that there were actually two boxing rings at the diamond tire.
The two boxing rings were both semi-circular and formed a circle. At first glance, it looked like a universe.
The audience was quite far away from the boxing ring, but they could not prevent the excited shouts.
“That woman from yesterday used a day to advance from the bronze tire to the diamond tire.”
“I know it’s the Grim Reaper! I’ve watched her for several matches. She bet a lot of money and won. She made her opponent unable to fight back within three moves.”
“Are women nowadays so awesome?”
“This woman is really powerful. She let out the words ‘Here comes your Grim Reaper’ when she was at the bronze tier. She has killed in the name of death until now.”
Mu Anan heard the discussions in the audience very clearly, but she was still doubtful.
The Grim Reaper?
From the bronze tire to the diamond tire in a day?
Mu Anan seemed to have heard Xiao Pang and Xiao Shou mention this yesterday, but she did not notice it at that time.
Could it be that her opponent today was the Grim Reaper?
Mu Anan had doubts in her heart and subconsciously turned around to look for Seventh Master.
Seventh Master and Xiao Pang stood together.
Even though he was disguised, he still couldn’t hide his outstanding aura.
When Mu Anan looked at him, Seventh Master was scanning the entire place warily. Sensing Mu Anan’s gaze, he turned around and looked at her gently before immediately looking around.
In the end, his gaze locked onto the private room on the second floor.
From the outside, one could not see anything through the gla.s.s, but Zong Zhengyu could still see that there was someone in that seat.
Upstairs, Mu Caijie and Zong Zhengyu looked at each other through a gla.s.s window.
At this moment, Mu Caijie still had a smile on his face. He even whistled.
Huo Feng, who was at the side, was puzzled when he saw Mu Caijie’s reaction.
Though the man had always been like this, gentle, often with a smile on his face, his heart was as deep and dangerous as the sea.
Huo Feng didn’t even dare to ask.
Mu Caijie turned his head and asked Huo Feng, “So the people around A are different from before?”
“Sir, a recent routine inspection of the ring revealed an exploited pa.s.sageway which is now being investigated. For safety’s sake, the people around A will keep changing for the last two days.”
Huo Feng explained as usual.
Although this piece of land was under the Huo family’s name and he was also the owner, the person who controlled everything was the man in front of him.
Faced with Huo Feng’s explanation, Mu Caijie suddenly chuckled. He did not say anything else about this matter.
Instead, he added, “I remember that when you fought for power with your brother, you were always at a disadvantage, right?”
“Thanks to your promotion, I am where I am today.” Huo Feng immediately said, “I won’t forget the favor for the rest of my life, and will remain loyal to you.”
“That’s true. Without me, you wouldn’t be a match for your brother with your intelligence.” Mu Caijie ignored Huo Feng’s declaration of loyalty, “Your elder brother beats you in both intelligence and vigor. It was your elder brother that I picked in the beginning.”
“It’s a pity that your brother is too straightforward. He would rather lose the power struggle than lower his head to outsiders.”
These words were an allusion to Huo Feng’s lack of intelligence. But Huo Feng couldn’t figure out where exactly the improper arrangements had made this gentleman unsatisfied.
Huo Feng did not dare to ask and could only remain silent.
After about ten seconds, Mu Caijie spoke again, “Mr. Huo.”
“Yes, sir. Please go ahead.”
“What kind of person do you think Zong Zhengyu is?”
When Mu Caijie asked this question, Huo Feng was stunned for a few seconds before he could react.
Zong Zhengyu.
In Jianglan City, there were very few people who would call out the name of the man of the Yuyuan Estate so naturally and indifferently.
Before and after, who wouldn’t respectfully call that master of the Imperial Garden ‘Seventh Master’?
Therefore, when Mu Caijie suddenly mentioned his full name, Huo Feng was unable to react. Even the smile on his face was a little stiff.
He answered truthfully, “Seventh Master is superior. I dare not judge.”
“Then, do you believe that the so-called superior Seventh Master would step into this place?” Mu Caijie asked again.
Huo Feng was stunned and denied it immediately, “How, how is that possible?”
“Why not?” Mu Caijie raised his eyebrows, “What if this Young Lady A whose hands and feet were being controlled in the boxing ring is the little princess of Yuyuanwan who was praised to the heavens?”
Huo Feng was speechless!
