Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“But… Don’t you think it’s a little bit too cruel?”

“The world of adults is cruel. Don’t forget that she’s the one who put us in our current situation!”

Fu Zhi, who was walking in front of them, pressed her lips thin but she did not say anything.

Li Hao had made up his mind. He did not think that it was the wrong thing to do. After all, a weak woman like Fu Zhi was bound to be killed the moment she stepped into the field. Since she was going to die no matter what, why not make the best use of her death so that all of them could live?

The teenager who had been crying just now sprang up from the ground and walked beside Fu Zhi.

Piqued by her curiosity, Fu Zhi looked at him and asked, “Have enough crying?”

The teenager covered his mouth and stammered, “I’m going to die after all, but you’re a girl. I don’t know why you come here to seek death, my dad told me that we should protect all women since we’re men. You stand behind me. I’ll help you to hold off those wolves.”

Fu Zhi stretched her arm forward and stopped the teenager.

“I’m not here to see death,” she said, “Not only do I not seek death, but I come here to prove to my classmate that he, just like me, just like everyone else in this world, has the right to live a better life.”

Zhou Zihuai did not believe it when Fu Zhi said he could easily crush Zhao Wu after he had become successful.

The thought and teaching that his mother had imparted to him since he was a kid were pulling him back.

In his mind, there was no way he could escape from the control of his family no matter how successful he was.

However, not only was Fu Zhi going to help him get his revenge today, but she also wanted him to understand that those shackles that had been binding him were not as indestructible as he thought.

Everyone felt different kinds of joys and sorrows every day, and no one could really understand and empathize with other people’s joys and sorrows.

However, Zhou Zihuai was a smart person, and Fu Zhi had faith in him that he would understand everything she did.

After Fu Zhi had finished speaking, she stood at the center of the field.

Another round of clamor rose from the crowd.

“It’s true! It’s really a woman!”

“Take off your d*mn mask, woman!”

“This is new. They’re allowing women to participate in the fight?”

In the past, they had only seen some men who had to fight on stage for various reasons. They had never seen such a pretty girl on the field before.

This was really a feast to their eyes. A fresh breath caused them to explode into an even more fervent shout.

Some audiences even whistled at Fu Zhi and said, “She seems like a fine woman to me. It’s just that I don’t understand why she wants to fight in the arena. She could have slept with me if she really needed money!”

“Sleep with you? Don’t be silly. I doubt there must be something wrong with her brain. Otherwise, who the hell would volunteer to fight in the arena?”

“Well, maybe she’s in need of money?”

“I don’t care. It’s none of my business. I’ve placed 10,000 yuan on her, so she better don’t let me down!”

“Get the hell out of here! This is not a place for a woman like you!”

“Chill, dude. It’s a good thing for her to participate in the fight. After all, don’t you think it’s interesting?”

The rest of the contenders were pushed to the field by the bodyguard.

At the same time, the cage containing the pack of wolves was pushed to the center of the field as well.

There was only one minute left before the betting session ended.

Most of the people had seen through the situation on the field. They all were certain that Fu Zhi was going to die the moment the game started, so they all placed their bets on the pack of wolves.

Fu Zhi took a look at the screen and she fell silent when she realized that only Jiang Ningbei felt she would win the match.

Just when she was trapped in her thoughts, someone bet 50 million on Li Zhi.

Everyone was stunned.

“50… 50 million yuan? Is he out of his mind?”

“I don’t know, but this is a good thing for all of us!”

“D*mn it! I should’ve placed more bets!”

—

Inside a booth. Jiang Zong was playing with the buttons on the device in his hand.

He was sitting on the couch with his legs crossed as he focused on the young lady standing in the center of the field.

Most of the people in this booth were rich and influential figures from Yu City, yet they all seemed rather apprehensive.

There was a pretty woman sitting on Jiang Zong’s lap. She was trying her best to pounce at Jiang Zong, but he did not give her the chance.

“This is so scary,” she said, “How can they put humans and beasts together in a cage?”

Jiang Zong patted her head and said, “Alright. There’s nothing to be scared of.”

The pretty woman approached Jiang Zong because of his appearance and wealth. Besides, Jiang Zong had been nice to her as well, so she said without thinking twice, “I don’t understand why do you think that woman can win, Mr. Jiang. Look at her. She’s so thin and frail, and maybe the reason she’s wearing a mask is that she’s too ugly! If you want to spend some money, you can bring me to go shopping next time!”

“You don’t understand why I think she’ll win?”

She nodded.

Jiang Zong withdrew his arms and said emotionlessly, “It’s just a game. You’ll understand it by the time I throw you onto the field.”

His voice was firm and he did not sound like he was making a joke.

The smile on the pretty woman froze. “Mr… Mr. Jiang? What are you talking about?”

Jiang Zong pulled a bank card out of his pocket and slipped it into her collar. “Alright. Get out of my sight. I’m bored of you.”

“Mr. Jiang, I…” She wanted to say something again, but her heart skipped a beat and she was stumped when she met Jiang Zong’s icy gaze. There was nothing she could do, so she just went away.

Inside the booth, the rest of the people seemed to have found a new business opportunity when they saw what Jiang Zong had done.

The arena had different requirements for ordinary people and rich people when it came to time.

The rest of the people could not sit still anymore. Although their social status was lower than Jiang Zong and they were afraid of him, the temptation of money compelled them to overcome their fear and asked, “Why are you supporting that woman, Mr. Jiang?”

“Do you even need to ask? Of course, it’s because Mr. Jiang likes her!”

“If I’d known that Mr. Jiang is into this kind of thing, I’d have joined him.”

Jiang Zong could sense their eagerness. He waved his hand and said, “The most important thing for coming here is to have fun, right?”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

He nodded and continued, “Feel free to place your bets.”

Their eyes lit up when they heard what Jiang Zong had said. They all took their devices out and began placing bets on the pack of wolves.

The number of bets between the two parties began to widen again.

Then, the host announced, “Without further ado, let’s start our match!

“Three… Two… One…

“Fight!”

At the command of the host, the pack of wolves howled and the cage was opened up.

The wolves here were not different from those in the mountain forest, but they looked far deadlier.

They were not like the live animals that had lost their natural instinct for viewing in the zoo.

Each and every one of them was as tall and massive as an adult man. They looked fierce as they jumped out of the cage one by one.

Li Hao and the others stood behind Fu Zhi. They all did not do anything rash and waited. Therefore, all of the wolves focused on Fu Zhi, who was standing nearest to them.

They were beasts. They did not have the intelligence of humans, and they were driven by their natural instinct—hunger.

They began to growl and snarl uneasily, rubbing their claws against the ground as they wheeled around, staring at her with lambent eyes.

Jiang Zong lifted his brows and his heart leaped into his throat. A person that sat beside Jiang Zong then commented, “I’ve seen her information. In my opinion, she doesn’t seem like a fighter. The arena shouldn’t get a woman to participate in the fight. Although it can incite more gamblers to place bets, it’s easy to guess the outcome of the fight, and we can’t win much money in the end.”

The moment he finished speaking, a wolf let out a howl and all of the audience became excited.

“Let’s go! Let’s go! Kill that woman first!”

“She’s quite a fine lady. It’s such a shame that she’s going to die here today.”

“I hope she can hold on for a little longer. After all, she’s the only woman who has participated in the fight ever since the establishment of this arena.”

Fu Zhi threw a glance at the audience. She realized that most of them were screaming and shouting fervently, and their faces were written with excitement.

In the meantime, a wolf couldn’t hold itself still anymore and decided to make the first move. It kicked the ground with its hind legs and pounced at Fu Zhi impatiently.

Everyone gasped, but they noticed that Fu Zhi did not even take any effort to dodge the attack.

“See! She’s here to die!”

“Oh gosh! I can’t watch anymore!”

“Hahaha! I can see money is coming to me!”

A hint of coldness flashed across Fu Zhi’s eyes. With all sorts of voices rising into the air, she ducked down and pulled a blade out of her boots. Just at the second the wolf arrived in front of her, she leaned towards the back and brandished the blade in her hand straight at the wolf’s neck.

The wolf grazed past Fu Zhi and fell to the ground with a plop.

Everything had happened too fast. Nobody knew what Fu Zhi had done, but there was a big laceration on the wolf’s neck. Although it was not lethal, the wolf would not be able to hurt anyone anymore for the time being.

Li Hao and the others were dumbfounded after they saw what had happened. They all could not come to their senses, and there were no other sounds aside from the incessant growl from the pack of the wolves.

“Li… Li Hao, didn’t you say she’s here to die? Why… Why is she…”

Li Hao did not know what was going on with Fu Zhi as well. Her movements were smooth and fluid, and it seemed to him that she should be as powerful as Black Demon.

“Li Hao, why don’t we go and help her?” Someone suggested.

Li Hao felt it was a good suggestion as well. He gripped his weapon tightly and shouted, “Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go help Li Zhi!”

However, just when they were preparing to dash forward, Fu Zhi turned around to face them and said coldly, “I’m sorry, but I don’t need your help. Please step back and watch from the side.”

Li Hao and the others were speechless.

After that, Fu Zhi turned her head back to look at the pack of wolves in front of her.

Wolves were vindictive, and they moved in a pack. After they saw what Fu Zhi had done to their member, they scratched the ground impatiently and surrounded Fu Zhi in a circle.

They were waiting for the moment to strike at Fu Zhi at the same time.

Fu Zhi focused her gaze on the largest wolf. Just when the other wolves pounced at her, she grabbed her blade tightly and dashed towards the wolf, stabbing the blade straight into its neck.

The remaining wolves wailed and let out a threatening cry, but none of the wolves attacked Fu Zhi anymore.

What happened? Shouldn’t the wolves continue to attack? Why did they all stop?

Before they could think it through, Fu Zhi pinned the wolf on the ground.

“I know you’re their leader and I know you can understand me, so listen carefully,” Fu Zhi said as she looked into the wolf’s green eyes. “Open your eyes and look closely. Your real enemy should be the people here who put you and your pack into a cage. Right now, ask your pack to go back into the cage, if not…”

She stabbed the blade deeper into the wolf’s neck.

It was worth nothing that animals’ ability to perceive danger was much stronger than that of humans.

They knew when to yield and when to attack, and the aura that Fu Zhi exuded was enough to make them cower in fear.

She exchanged glances with the wolf for 30 seconds.

Finally, as the pain at the neck became clearer and clearer, the wolf gave in to Fu Zhi.
