Chapter 163 VIP? Bah! It’s too good to resist.

Ren Yuanhao, startled, heard the boss continue:

"Shen Lanni's team only has two red belts and two blue belts with yellow stripes. They simply can't compete with the others from different cities. Today is an exhibition match, but these young fighters will definitely be thinking about intimidating the opponent a little, so they can gain a psychological advantage in tomorrow's main competition."

"So, today's exhibition match is actually not much different from the main competition."

"Of course, oh, look, the live broadcast has already started."

The boss brought over the mini TV and said with some excitement, "Look, the contestants are already entering the venue. The match will start in about half an hour."

"Half an hour? Boss, how far is it from the competition venue?" Ren Yuanhao suddenly felt a bit flustered.

"If you take public transport, it's 20 minutes. You can make it."

Ren Yuanhao handed the money to the boss and immediately called Ye Lan. He heard Ye Lan say on the phone, "We've arrived. Zhou Long said he sent someone to pick you up. Are you arriving soon too?"

He knew very well that Zhou Long would never send anyone to pick him up, but only wanted to ditch him and make him look foolish. He immediately hung up, hailed a blue taxi, and sped towards the Donglü City First Martial Arts Hall.

However, in his haste, Ren Yuanhao overlooked the taxi driver's knack for picking up difficult fares and getting lost. The driver took a full 20 minutes, and they still hadn't seen any martial arts hall buildings.

Only then did Ren Yuanhao realize he'd been tricked. He looked around and saw that the surroundings were desolate. There was no way to find a reliable taxi. Gritting his teeth, he had to pay triple the price and urge the driver to hurry to the destination.

The car rushed as fast as it could, but still missed the opening ceremony. Ren Yuanhao, standing before the closed entrance after getting out of the car, felt a storm brewing within him. After sending his most heartfelt greetings to Zhou Long's ancestors, he grabbed a staff member and asked.

"Miss, could you do me a favor? There was traffic on the road, really..."

"Don't say useless things, show me your ticket."

Ren Yuanhao's heart sank. He thought, I'm new here, who knows if I need a ticket!

"Can I buy a ticket?" Ren Yuanhao could only resort to a financial offensive.

"Do you have VIP?" The staff member's voice was extremely indifferent.

"What VIP?"

Before the staff member could answer, a person slowly emerged from the aisle. It was Zhou Long!

He then said in a sharp and sarcastic tone, "VIP? Look at his shabby appearance, can he afford VIP? Look, this is the VIP card, blinding your dog eyes."

"Young Master Zhou, are you going to buy him a ticket?" The staff member's attitude suddenly made a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn.

"Buy a ticket for him? Am I out of my mind? A mere accountant, and you want to enter the venue? Here, turn left from here, there's a liquid crystal display screen. If you get out of here fast enough, you might still snatch a seat from those piles of trash. That's where trash like you belongs!"

Zhou Long strode into the aisle laughing, without waiting for a reply.

Just as Ren Yuanhao was about to follow, he was stopped by the staff member: "Sir, if you trespass, I will immediately call security. You will be taken away by the police for disturbing public order."

"Miss, can't you be a little flexible? I'll pay ten times the price, is that okay?"

Ren Yuanhao once again unleashed his universal money-making method, seeing if this rigid staff member would be swayed.

"I'm sorry, without a VIP card, I cannot issue a ticket."

As Ren Yuanhao felt annoyed, he suddenly smelled the faint scent of white roses from behind, and then heard a familiar voice: "Little brother? What a coincidence, why are you here too?"

The person who arrived was the eldest daughter of the Wang Group—Wang Xin!

"Sister, are you completely recovered?" Ren Yuanhao was surprised at first, then grinned.

"Here, take this."

Wang Xin took an ice cream from her bag and handed it to Ren Yuanhao, taking one for herself and eating it without reservation.

"I didn't expect you to have recovered to this extent. That's great. By the way, why are you here?"

"It's like this, Wang Group is one of the sponsors for this Southeast competition, and I'm here on behalf of the group."

As soon as Wang Xin finished speaking, she saw the staff member respectfully handing her a VIP card.

"Miss Wang, this is your permanent VIP card. You can enter any event venue for free at any time."

Wang Xin took the VIP card and also took out an ice cream from her bag, saying with an expression of deadly sweetness, "Auntie, thank you for your hard work. Here, have this."

The staff member had never received such treatment. Her hands trembled slightly with excitement, and she kept expressing her gratitude before taking the ice cream.

"So, little brother, you want to go in too?" Wang Xin smiled.

Ren Yuanhao nodded and said with some embarrassment, "I'm late, and this auntie said I don't have a ticket, and there's no way to buy a replacement ticket, so..."

"It's alright, I'm here." Wang Xin patted his shoulder and said with an extremely sweet and approachable expression, "Auntie, look..."

"Since he is Miss Wang's friend, what's there to disallow? Go in, it's about to start."

"Thank you." Wang Xin was very cultured, just like when Ren Yuanhao first met her. But back then, why hadn't he realized that this girl's family background was so vast?

Ren Yuanhao couldn't be bothered to think about it. He followed Wang Xin into the huge martial arts hall.

Inside the martial arts hall, it was already crowded. As a city that had produced an Eastern District champion, this martial arts hall carried too many expectations.

After entering, Ren Yuanhao and Wang Xin parted ways because Wang Xin had a series of interviews to attend. Ren Yuanhao leaned against the railing and looked around but didn't see Shen Lanni and the others.

Just then, his phone rang.

"Hello, my young master Ren, haven't you arrived yet?" As soon as Yang Lingxue finished speaking, she heard the extremely noisy sounds from her phone, and instantly realized that Ren Yuanhao had already reached the inner arena.

"I've arrived, where are you?"

"Look down, we're very close to the arena."

Ren Yuanhao leaned against the railing, looking through the waving arms and colorful flags. He finally spotted the three figures in an area close to the west side of the martial arts hall. At this moment, Zhou Long was diligently assisting Shen Lanni, seemingly encouraging these youngsters.

After replying "Found them," he quickly made his way down the descending aisle stairs to the three girls.

At that moment, he heard Zhou Long tirelessly giving a motivational speech: "Youngsters, don't be afraid when you go up later. If you win, you'll be heroes. BMWs, beautiful women, money, status, you can have anything you want. Look at your coach, she's a winner of the Eastern District championship. This is also her first time leading you into a big stage. You must strive to succeed, understand?"
