Volume 2 Ghost Army Chapter 279: The Dark Side
"Yes, master. The outcome of every boxing bet here can be manipulated. I have a cooperative relationship with the owner of this underground bar. I secretly get rid of those who are causing trouble for them, and they pay me a certain commission. At the same time, if I am interested in participating in boxing bets, they will be smart enough to pass on the inside information to me. Of course, in order not to affect their business, I will naturally not bet too big. According to them, Titan is arranged to win this match." Captain William did not hide anything and told Li Jiu everything he knew.
"You are in a cooperative relationship..." Li Jiu pondered after hearing this.
As far as he knew, the laws of the alliance strictly prohibited mercenary groups from using their own armed forces to participate in the internal affairs of the alliance. Otherwise, once discovered, the mercenary group's qualifications would be immediately revoked and the relevant personnel would be held accountable.
"Weren't you afraid of the laws of the alliance before?" After thinking for a moment, Li Jiu glanced at Captain William and said.
"Master, actually, this alliance is not as harmonious as it seems on the surface. There is still a very dark side behind the scenes. Although on the surface they are fighting for the overthrow of the Defender Empire and the establishment of an equal society for all mankind, in fact, the top leaders of the alliance have long been corrupt. It can be said that the powerful are in power now, and as long as there is money, there is nothing that . I have already taken care of the Fifth District Government. As long as nothing major happens, they will not come to trouble me. In addition, this is why Claude dared to assassinate you again and again." Captain William explained respectfully.
Li Jiu was speechless after hearing this, and his impression of the alliance deteriorated again.
"Does Claude know about your cooperation with them?" After thinking for a moment, Li Jiu asked indifferently.
"He probably doesn't know yet." Captain William shook his head, and then added: "It was my own idea to cooperate with this bar. The purpose was to make some extra money, because Claude used to be very strict with my spending and didn't give me much money..."
"Well, okay, I understand." Li Jiu was not interested in listening any further, so he interrupted Captain William and then asked after a moment's hesitation, "Is that clouded leopard a descendant of the Chinese?"
"Well... I think so..." Captain William said uncertainly, with a look of trying to recall. He just heard someone casually mention the races of the two contestants when he got the inside information, so he didn't remember it very clearly.
"Hmm?" Li Jiu's eyes narrowed and he glanced at Captain William. He was somewhat dissatisfied with this inaccurate answer.
"Yes, master! I am sure that clouded leopard is a descendant of the Chinese..." Captain William was shocked, his brain suddenly worked better and he said with certainty.
"Well, let's go. After this game is over, you can return to the Blood Wolf Base." Li Jiu nodded and walked directly to the exit of the corridor.
At the same time, Captain William also followed Li Jiu out.
…
After walking out of the corridor, Li Jiu walked alone to the table where Doug's brother was, while Captain William returned to his own table.
"Brother Jiu, how are you? Is everything going well? " After seeing Li Jiu coming back, Doug immediately asked with concern. At the same time, he looked at Captain William from time to time with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Originally, he thought that Li Jiu wanted them to keep an eye on Captain William in order to kill the young captain. However, now he saw that guy actually walked out of the corridor with Li Jiu, and they seemed to be at peace.
As for Quinn, he didn't think so much. He just drank and watched the match on the ring below.
Li Jiu did not answer directly. He sat on the sofa in the middle and nodded slightly.
Now, Captain William has become a chess piece lurking in the dark. If it is not necessary, Li Jiu does not want to let anyone know to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Although Doug still had some doubts in his mind, seeing that Li Jiu didn't seem to want to accept anything more, he was very tactful and didn't ask any more questions.
"How was the match going?" Li Jiu asked calmly after pouring a glass of wine while looking at the iron cage arena below.
At this time, on the ring below, the clouded leopard and the huge white man Titan had separated and sat in a corner of the ring respectively, as if they were taking a halftime break.
"Hey, Brother Jiu, you bet on the wrong one this time. That Yunbao kid is no good..." Quinn withdrew his gaze from the ring, sighed, and looked at Li Jiu with a depressed face.
Quinn had hoped that Li Jiu would be lucky enough to bet right, so that he and Doug could earn another 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, but now it seems that they may not earn a penny...
"Oh? Why? Also, what's going on down there now? Are they really taking a break?" Li Jiu asked in confusion. The two people on the ring hadn't made any moves yet, so Li Jiu didn't know how skilled they were.
"Brother Jiu, we just asked about this. This game is divided into three stages with two breaks in between. Now is the second break." Quinn explained very actively, "Of course, they call it a break in name, but in fact it is to extend the game time and increase the viewing experience. At the same time, the most important thing is to leave customers with the opportunity to place bets again."
"In the first stage of the game, Clouded Leopard performed very well and was able to fight a tie with the monstrous Titan. Therefore, at the end of the first stage, many people bet on Clouded Leopard to win." Quinn continued to explain.
"However, in the second stage, Clouded Leopard seemed to have run out of energy and was completely suppressed by Titan. He was almost killed instantly several times." Quinn seemed very depressed when he said this.
Li Jiu listened to Quinn's description of the game while looking at the virtual screen on the table.
On the virtual screen, he saw that the Clouded Leopard only had 30 health points left, while the Titan still had 78. In addition, an area on the screen was replaying the game.
Watching the movements of both sides in the game, Li Jiu couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful look...
When Li Jiu heard Quinn say that he could continue betting , something suddenly occurred to him.
From Captain William, he had already learned the result of the boxing bet in advance, so he could place more bets on Titan and make a fortune easily.
However, he did not intend to do so.
The reason is simple, because he doesn't want to see Clouded Leopard, who is also a descendant of the Chinese, lose the game.
