Chapter Thirteen: Chen Tao's Panic

  The underground world is no longer a minority, and the host also has corresponding measures for this. The host walked calmly to the center of the arena, facing the microphone, and said: "From the surface, it seems that this round should be a draw, but we still need to verify it before making the final decision."

  Immediately, professionals came on stage to check the two of them. Rong Feng's head had fallen off, and he was certainly dead. As for Ye Chen, who had been nailed to the ground with a long sword piercing through his chest, he should not have survived either. However, necessary checks were still needed.

  Two professionals walked straight to Yechen's side, took his pulse and touched his nose. Everything indicated no signs of life. The two professionals shook their heads simultaneously at the host.

  The host nodded, facing the audience. "Unfortunately, I have to tell everyone that the two of them are a draw, and the audience who bet on a draw will get a 1:10 payout ratio. Next, let's enjoy the next match."

  "What? Are we going to let Ye Feng win like this? Is it just going to end like that?" Many spectators loudly protested.

  "We also suppressed that little thing called Ye Chen's victory? It's obvious that Rong Feng was killed by Ye Chen first, it should be Ye Chen's win." Some people are also sympathizing with Ye Chen, of course, all for credit points.

  "Wow, I crushed both of them!" someone shouted wildly, drawing a string of envious glances.

  Crazy shouting and protesting can't change anything. The underground world has its own rules, within the rules, what the host says goes!

  The host waved his hand, and the staff came on stage to clean up the ring. No matter how dazzling or overbearing one was in life, once dead in this underground world, they had no value at all. They were simply carried out without emotion, and even those people in the VIP rooms stopped investigating Ye Chen. These people were very pragmatic - what's the point of paying attention to someone who's already dead?

  In the private room, Su Hao was embracing a seductive woman, roughly fondling her, causing the woman to let out exaggerated moans. "Young master, it's been taken care of!" A person suddenly appeared in the private room, no one knew when.

  "Good, things are done well, I'll reward you heavily when we get back!" Su Hao said calmly without turning his head.

  "Thank you, young master!"

  ……

  Chen Tao was just a gatekeeper, with not many special skills, only cultivating to the third stage, at this age is very weak, otherwise he would not come to watch the door, but Chen Tao was a smooth talker and had good relationships, many staff members in this underground world knew him.

  Today, Chen Tao was somewhat excited because his good friend Ye Chen had arrived. Before work ended, he asked a colleague to help keep an eye on things while he went to find Ye Chen. As a good friend, it's been a long time since they've seen each other, so he definitely wanted to entertain him.

  The underground world was in an uproar, Chen Tao heard the commotion as soon as he entered. Within seconds, Chen Tao knew what had happened - the undefeated Rong Feng had been killed by a nameless small fry, who was also killed at the same time.

  Chen Tao also wanted to take a look, but for now, he had to find Ye Chen first. The area where Ye Chen was located was only the free zone, and there were many people, making it very difficult to find a young man. Chen Tao stood in a high place, but did not see the figure he wanted to see.

  "This little guy called Ye Chen is from where, he actually killed Rong Feng, it's really incredible!" Just as Chen Tao was anxiously searching, a sentence that came to his ear suddenly stopped him in his tracks.

  "It's just, a guy with no achievements at all actually killed Rongfeng, it's really..."

  Behind him, Chen Tao didn't hear much, and his head was buzzing with a dizzy feeling. Immediately, Chen Tao hastily grabbed the person who had just spoken and asked, "What's the name of the person you mentioned?" His voice trembled, and he looked at the person in front of him with hope, hoping that the name they would say wasn't the one he wanted to hear.

  Two gamblers who were chatting suddenly found themselves taken aback by Chen Tao's interruption, but upon seeing that he was wearing the uniform of the underground world, they suppressed their discontent.

  "What's the boy's name?" Chen Tao asked anxiously, regardless of what others thought.

  "You also admire that young man? Ah, it's true, that young man is really something, he actually killed Hong Feng, that madman. You know, Hong Feng had fought in so many matches and never lost a single one, his strength was said to be able to withstand an attack from a Xiantian expert, but he was killed by this unknown young man, it's truly impressive." The gambler said with admiration.

  "What's that young man's name?" Chen Tao asked anxiously, without much time to listen to the gambler's idle chatter.

  The gambler was in high spirits when Chen Tao interrupted him, and he suddenly became somewhat unhappy. However, considering Chen Tao's position as a staff member, he simply said something brief, otherwise he would have offended the staff of the underground world, and if he had been remembered for revenge, it would not have been worth it.

  "Hey, this young man seems to be called Ye Chen? Is that right?" he asked his companion.

  "Yes, that's what he was called - Ye Chen. That young man really wasn't bad, it's just a pity he's also dead!" Another gambler made an affirmative response.

  The two people behind him were saying something, but Chen Tao could no longer hear them clearly. His mind was a complete blank. His friend had died? And on the arena, too! Weren't they supposed to come and gain some experience? How did he end up on the arena? And against that madman Rong Feng, of all people! He actually killed his opponent! Was Ye Chen really that powerful?

  Many doubts flashed through Chen Tao's mind, and then Chen Tao went to the garbage disposal place in the underground world. Ye Chen didn't know anyone here, of course, no one would come to collect the body, it could only be thrown into the garbage disposal place.

  Chen Tao was very familiar with this place and quickly found the location. Just then, two staff members walked out.

  "Xiang Ge, Liang Ge." Chen Tao suppressed his anxiety and smiled as he greeted the two men who had just come out.

  "Hey, isn't this Chen Tao? You little scamp, why didn't you go on duty at the entrance, what are you doing here?" asked a man called Xiang Ge with a smile.

  "Hmm... I've heard that there's a young man who actually killed Rong Feng. I'd like to see what he looks like and find out what kind of person he is." Chen Tao replied with a smile.

  "What else can be seen, no matter how stunning, is already dead. What's good to look at? If you want to see it, go inside yourself." The one called Lao Ge replied with a smile, pointing to the room behind him.

  "Ah, thanks, I just wanted to take a look." Chen Tao smiled and replied, then bid farewell to the two of them and hastily walked into the room.

  "Does Chen Tao still think that young man has something good on him? If he did, it would have been found long ago. What's left for him to find?" The two staff members said as they walked away.

  "Haha, there's always someone who wants to make a small fortune, if anything happens it's Chen Tao's luck."

  Chen Tao walked into the room, a strange smell almost made Chen Tao vomit. This was a garbage disposal site where workers came to process every day, but apparently, they hadn't arrived yet. Several corpses were lying on the ground, and there were other remaining trash elsewhere.

  Chen Tao only cared about Ye Chen, and went forward to flip over the corpse. He soon found Ye Chen, with fresh blood still flowing, but there was no breath left.

  "Ye Chen, Ye Chen!" Chen Tao shook Ye Chen's body and shouted loudly, but Ye Chen didn't respond at all, lying there stiffly, covered in blood, without any sign of life.
