Chapter 785: Chapter 785: Really Think You’re Something Special?
On the Set Planet, strength indeed reigns supreme.
But provoking the public’s anger, a private duel arena wouldn’t dare to take such a risk.
If the operation of giving the crowd a taste of victory and then rigging the outcome were caught with evidence, they’d face official penalties.
A newcomer achieving a swift victory over the arena’s undefeated champion seems fishy from every angle; no wonder the crowd watching the match is so agitated.
"Get your boss out here, and if we don’t get a reasonable explanation, don’t think of operating this arena any longer."
"Yeah, daring to scheme for our money, today not only should the champ die but even this hired hand who killed him. How can this weak-looking kid possibly take down the champ?"
"Exactly, let’s retrieve that poor guy’s body first, take it for testing; he must have been poisoned, otherwise, how could he have been defeated so easily?"
The crowd’s emotions grew even more intense, as they were about to breach the security line and storm the ring.
At this critical moment, a man more robust than the champion, covered in scars, with a mechanical left arm, descended from the sky.
The next second, a powerful aura transformed into a storm, sweeping through the audience, distorting their expressions on the ring.
"What, looking for me, is there something you need?"
Tiande’s voice was very loud, almost ear-piercingly so.
As the private duel arena’s boss behind the scenes, having no strength was absolutely not an option.
He, Tiande, was the pillar holding up this duel arena.
"Speak up, why aren’t you talking anymore?"
After having their faces washed by the powerful aura, many in the audience realized where they were causing a ruckus.
Comments about corruption and demands for refunds were swallowed back wisely.
Everyone understood all too well what fate awaited someone who stuck their neck out at such a moment.
With Tiande at the Martial Arts Perfection Realm, he wasn’t someone that just a few advanced martial artists could contend with.
Along with his capable group of fighters, if they truly started a battle, the righteously furious audience would end up with little to gain in a short amount of time.
"Tiande, don’t think you can bully us just because of your strength; on the Set Planet, in our Chris Country, any means can be used to gain resources, just not rigging the fights. I know your strength, but no matter how strong you are, can you guarantee that no one here would escape to expose your misdeeds?"
Someone at the ninth level of Martial Arts can confidently ask that, leaving Tiande speechless.
As the arena’s shadowy boss, wouldn’t he know the consequences of angering the public? Even if Tiande could lead his entire martial arts gym to extinguish the crowd inside the arena, could he keep what he did hidden?
"Hahaha, you really are a simple-minded guy with well-developed limbs; since I’ve appeared, I’ll give you an explanation. Didn’t you say there was insider dealing in today’s match? Then I’ll make all betting data public so everyone can examine it. Is that enough?"
If all the data is made public, who placed what bets will be clear.
At that time, the flow of funds will also be obvious.
After Tiande made the data available for review, the audience successfully checked the betting data.
The results showed that almost everyone bet on the champion to win; even the personnel within the fighting gym uniformly bet on the champion to win.
As for betting on Lin Yi to win, he was the only one, and he had bet a substantial amount of money on himself winning.
It was clear that this was a big fish coming to blow up the pond.
Among the audience were many involved in special intelligence work for the matches; they were able to quickly gather information about Lin Yi.
Lin Yi’s information was unclear; a person like this couldn’t possibly be linked to an organization like a private combat arena.
After Tiande appeared, the chaos of the entire venue was immediately suppressed.
As for Lin Yi, after everything ended, he smoothly collected his due rewards.
However, after this, Lin Yi did not leave; he was politely invited by Tiande to his office.
On an elegant nanmu chair, Tiande sat pleasantly and poured tea for Lin Yi and Xiyue behind him.
"Hehe, young brother, so young and capable. Just by looking at your physique, it’s hard to tell that you are such a strong person. How about it, the prize money tonight isn’t a small amount, is it?"
Common folks would put a lot of weight on money and wealth.
To be managing a private combat arena with a Martial Arts Perfection level, Tiande’s broad-mindedness wasn’t undeserved.
Lin Yi looked at the heap of money in front of him and smiled slightly.
"The amount is alright."
"What, is Mr. Arena Master wanting to take a share from me? How much would you want, let me think about it."
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Tiande was somewhat surprised.
Wasn’t making such a big scene over money?
"Hehe, to me, this money is merely a drop in the ocean. Young brother is a heroic and exceptional person. If I could make friends with you, what’s this small amount to me, isn’t that right, young brother?"
These words almost made Lin Yi laugh, and he straightforwardly shared his inner thoughts.
"Hehe, Mr. Arena Master, you truly think highly of yourself, do you believe this little bit of money would make us friends? What do you think you are!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the two bodyguards behind Tiande couldn’t remain calm.
The boss getting insulted, it’s time to act.
Immediately, they raised their fists, ready to strike Lin Yi’s face.
"Stand down!"
Tiande commanded coldly, intimidating without anger.
"With your skills, fighting him would only bring disgrace; retreat and don’t embarrass yourselves."
Tiande understood well; a young genius like Lin Yi being a bit arrogant was normal.
Isn’t it just feeling the money is insufficient, add some more and it’s resolved.
Having Lin Yi under his banner, keeping the upper management satisfied meant greater benefits for Tiande in the future.
"Young brother, you are right, to be friends with you, this kind intention alone isn’t enough, but young brother, you also need to show your sincerity, right? As long as you are willing to help me with more things, the benefits in the future will surely be plentiful."
"Your future position could even surpass mine!"
Upon hearing this, the two bodyguards behind Tiande looked incredulous.
They never expected that this young man would cause their boss to treat him so courteously.
"Hehe."
"Tiande, a few jokes with you and you already think so highly of yourself?"
"Now tell me, who is your current master? If you get it wrong, I can’t guarantee how much force my foot will use, whether your head might explode because of it!"
Flowing with the Power of the Primordial around Lin Yi’s body, at his feet, completely suppressed Tiande’s highest level of the Supreme Law within the Harmonization Level.
