“It seems I bet on the Red corner. I’m going to lose money this round…”

‘Red Devil’ Goron versus A-level wanted criminal ‘Shadow Scorpion’ Aberk. Suren’s first feeling was that Aberk would win.

After all, they were both Tier 2 professionals, and a notorious wanted criminal would definitely have extremely strong combat abilities. The other was just a bodyguard with no reputation.

No matter how good the talent, a fat hound raised in a greenhouse can’t compare to a hungry wild dog hunting in the wilderness.

But unexpectedly, this match completely subverted Suren's understanding.

Normally, when both gladiators enter the arena, the referee rings the bronze bell to announce the start of the match.

But this time, it was a little different.

Aberk didn't plan to follow the rules at all. The moment the muscular mechanical arms released him, this guy conjured two pistols out of thin air like a magician, pulled the triggers, and "bang, bang" shot twice at the suit-wearing strongman across from him.

This guy clearly knew that on this arena today, only one person could walk away alive.

Nothing is more important than staying alive, not even the damn rules!

Because he was close enough to the arena, Suren even saw a cold sneer on his face. This guy expressed the word "insidious" to the fullest.

.......

This was an unlimited fighting match. Gladiators could use weapons they were skilled at, so using guns was naturally not a problem.

Suren also understood why the "blast shield" had been raised.

But looking at a dignified Tier 2 expert launching a sneak attack, his expression instantly became a little strange. "This...this guy doesn't play by the rules!"

You're a dignified A-level wanted criminal, yet you only have this much courage?

The image of a detached and aloof Tier 2 professional that Suren had just built in his mind immediately collapsed.

However, he also felt that this guy's insidious character was more suitable for the survival rules of this cruel world.

Truly a petty man, unpretentious.

No wonder he could commit crimes so frequently and still live this long.

......

Everything happened so fast. In less than a tenth of a second, that guy fired the gun.

In anyone's eyes, this situation was very disadvantageous to the suit-wearing bodyguard.

These two shots were extremely tricky and unavoidable. If they hit, even if they weren't fatal, being injured would mean losing the initiative.

The gamblers who bet on 'Red Devil' Goron were about to curse the other side for being insidious, but the turning point came so quickly...

Watching the muzzle flash, before the shock on the faces of a group of gamblers had time to surface, they suddenly saw two sparks appear in front of the suit-wearing bodyguard.

At this time, two gunshots, "bang" "bang," and the "clang" "clang" sound of metal colliding almost sounded in everyone's ears at the same time.

A moment of silence.

The entire hall of gamblers was dumbfounded.

Even Suren was stunned as he looked at the two people confronting each other in the arena.

As if frozen for a moment, the thoughts in his mind returned to normal.

Looking at the short knife that appeared out of nowhere in the suit-wearing bodyguard's hand, Suren realized what had just happened and doubted what he had seen: "Deflected bullets with a knife?"

The surrounding area was filled with the sound of swallowing saliva.

No one expected that the suit-wearing strongman would actually use a knife to catch the two bullets from the sneak attack!

He just stood there expressionlessly, calmly like a cold stone.

The next moment, the entire fighting arena erupted with applause and cheers like a tsunami.

"Red Devil!"

"Red Devil!"

"Red Devil!"

"..."

The emotions of the gamblers instantly reached a climax.

As soon as this high-standard fighting match began, it presented everyone with a visual feast, strongly stimulating people's nerves.

The battle between two Tier 2 professionals opened everyone’s eyes!

.......

"So strong!"

Suren's pupils shrank slightly, and he focused all his attention on everything in the arena, not wanting to miss any details.

At this time, the expression on 'Shadow Scorpion' Aberk's face also changed slightly.

Only experts of the same tier can accurately understand how strong the opponent is.

Although he hadn't underestimated the enemy and expected that these two shots might not hurt the opponent, he didn't expect the opponent to defuse them so easily.

At this moment, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he moved again!

Aberk raised his cloak, and suddenly a string of sharp flying knives flew out with a "shua shua shua" sound.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

Sparks flashed, and the flying knives were once again easily caught by Goron with his short knife.

But obviously, Aberk didn't expect the flying knives to hurt the enemy. In that instant of sparks flying, his whole person had already appeared behind Goron like a ghost!

Like a ghost, he slashed a dark dagger at Goron's neck.

So fast, like teleportation, unbelievable.

Seeing this scene, the gamblers below became excited.

"So fast, is that 'Shadow Scorpion' Aberk's speed...as expected of an assassin-type professional!"

"It is said that that guy awakened the [Talent C-009-Shun Shen (Quick Step)], which has the ability to burst forward in a short distance. Within twenty meters, the opponent doesn't even have a chance to fire a gun..."

"An A-level wanted criminal, truly lives up to his name."

"..."

Listening to the shocking words of the gamblers beside him, before Suren had time to digest his thoughts, the two people in the arena had already exchanged several more rounds.

Aberk's movement speed was extremely fast, like a ghost, as if the entire arena was his shadow.

If Suren's eyesight hadn't been increased several times, he wouldn't even have been able to clearly see that the two people on the arena had just clashed thirteen times, with two elbow blocks...

But obviously, Goron was stronger.

Even in such a storm of dense attacks, he still waved his short knife expressionlessly, blocking each attack precisely and appropriately.

"That guy is completely calm like a machine when he fights..."

Suren watched carefully, 'Red Devil' Goron hadn't moved his feet the entire time, just standing there waving his knife to block.

It looked like the two were fighting fiercely, but...upon closer inspection, even the suit on his body wasn't ruffled.

"Are the bodyguards of those big shots in the inner city this strong?"

Suren found it unbelievable.

Aberk's ghostly movements were enough to guarantee that he wouldn't be defeated. Moreover, whether it was his marksmanship or swordsmanship, in the eyes of Suren, a "beginner in advanced fighting," they were all top-notch skills that were out of reach.

But, he just didn't hurt anyone.

Suren never expected that a bodyguard would be so strong.

And what he didn't expect was yet to come!

......

The battle between the two Tier 2 professionals on the arena was very fierce, and ordinary gamblers just watched the excitement.

"That Goron has been suppressed and beaten all the time, why doesn't he fight back..."

"He wants to fight back, but he has to be able to react. Aberk's speed is so fast, it's good enough that he can block."

"Hehe, you guys don't understand, that's the smart response. Aberk has the [Shun Shen (Quick Step)] talent, it's almost impossible to catch him. But the burst of that talent ability consumes a lot, and this frequency of attack can't last at all. The best response is to respond to all changes with immobility. That Goron is not only not stupid, but smart. Just watch, it won't be long before Aberk should panic..."

"Tch~I didn't see how great that big guy is. I still think Aberk will definitely win, that movement is too weird..."

"..."

Most of the gamblers were ordinary people, and they only cared about their bets.

Only a few people could understand the fighting rhythm and skills on the arena.

However, quietly, the entire "Scarlet Bunker" gambling den had gathered many nearby experts...even Captain Kai and a group of "Cross Society" veterans had heard the news and rushed to watch this wonderful deathmatch between Tier 2 professionals.

Outside the sight of the gamblers, in the boxes on the second floor, those big shots in the inner city were also watching this bloody deathmatch with interest, standing in front of one-way glass.

They were the protagonists behind the scenes of this match, and the heavy bets on the two gladiators were the most important reason for this match.

Beside the arena, Suren muttered, "The probing is over, is it time to get serious..."

He knew that the excitement had just begun.

After all, these were two alchemists!
