These two men, both at the late stage of Ancient God realm, looked at Zuo Bin with commanding tones, their expressions blank.
Upon hearing them, Zuo Bin quickly shook his head and refused, "I agreed with your boss to only help him with this one match."
In fact, in the previous match, Zuo Bin hadn't cheated overtly. It appeared both sides had showcased their strength, resulting in a stalemate.
Before Zuo Bin participated, he had told the boss that he possessed the strength to challenge Ancient Gods. Fearing complications, the boss had arranged for a late-stage Mysterious God to face Zuo Bin, instructing him to ensure a draw.
Because Zuo Bin could fight opponents of a higher realm, everyone bet their divine stones on the other participant. However, the high odds offered for Zuo Bin also attracted a group willing to take a gamble.
Few people bet on a draw, which led to this deceptive outcome, netting the boss a large sum of divine stones.
After Zuo Bin left, the boss began to regret his decision.
Wouldn't it be even more frenzied to bet if Zuo Bin fought someone in the early stage of the Ancient God realm? If he coordinated with the Ancient God realm participant and played it by ear, wouldn't he make a fortune?
Therefore, not long after Zuo Bin and his companions left, the boss immediately sent people to find them.
Seeing Zuo Bin refuse, one of the men's eyes narrowed. "You can refuse, but the boss says you have to return the divine stones. If you fight another match, you'll get 200 divine stones after it's over."
"These are divine stones I earned myself; why should I return them?" Zuo Bin immediately disagreed.
"You have no choice in this. Either return the divine stones, or come with us," one of the men said, his voice turning cold.
Their boss, fearing Zuo Bin's ability to challenge higher realms, had specifically sent two experts at the late stage of the Ancient God realm.
Zuo Bin looked at the two men with ill intentions and hesitated.
This was because he had three others with him, and if a conflict arose, he wouldn't gain any advantage.
He refused to continue the competition simply because he didn't want to continue acting to help the boss cheat people out of divine stones.
"Brother A'Bin, are these divine stones from a questionable source? Then we can't accept them," Qi Sisi asked, holding the divine stones in her hand.
"This is the reward I received from participating in the competition. It's true that it was somewhat unfair," Zuo Bin did not lie to Qi Sisi and the two young boys.
Upon hearing this, Qi Sisi directly threw the divine stones back to them and said, "Then we don't want these divine stones."
The poorer one is, the more backbone they have. This might be a common trait across all realms.
It is precisely because of this pride that they are poor.
There's no helping it; it's their nature. No matter how they try, they can't become corrupt. They deserve to be poor while others get rich.
One of the men took the divine stones, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.
Their purpose was to escort Zuo Bin back. What they said earlier was just to provoke Zuo Bin; after all, who would be willing to give up divine stones they had already obtained?
They had already fought one match; what was one more?
This unexpected turn of events completely stumped both of them.
To achieve their goal, the man who had taken the divine stones said, "It's too late now. You should have decided earlier. What were you doing? Now you only have one choice: come with us, or don't blame us for taking action."
When the two of them abandoned all pretense of shame, they spoke without blushing or batting an eye.
"Hahaha..."
Xia Feng, who was listening from the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
To think that such shameless people existed in the Divine Realm. Xia Feng was truly broadening his horizons.
The two men, already displeased, saw someone mocking them. One of them angrily shouted, "Kid, are you looking for death?"
"You two continue. I really couldn't help myself," Xia Feng waved his hand, signaling them to proceed.
However, his expression and actions were rather provocative.
"I think you, kid, are asking for a beating," one of them said, then turned into a gust of wind and reached out to grab Xia Feng.
He didn't expect the man to attack so quickly and decisively.
The strength of a late-stage Ancient God was immense. Zuo Bin's eyes were dazzled, and he was somewhat stunned.
At the same time, he secretly wondered if he could withstand this attack if it were directed at him.
To outsiders, the late-stage Ancient God's movement was as fast as lightning, but to Xia Feng, it was like an ant crawling.
Xia Feng also hadn't expected this guy to act so impulsively.
Xia Feng, with a smile on his lips, slowly extended his right hand and casually waved it. The man who had been reaching for Xia Feng suddenly flew backward at an even faster speed, crashing directly outside the tavern.
(⊙o⊙)...
Everyone was stunned.
Were they a Divine Monarch expert?
All beings above Divine Monarch were considered powerful.
Although there was only one major realm difference between Ancient Gods and Divine Monarchs, the gap in strength was vast. This was a transition phase in power.
"Xiao Hei...." one of the Ancient God realm men shouted and ran out of the tavern.
Zuo Bin and Qi Sisi exchanged glances, knowing they had caused trouble.
Private duels were forbidden within the city, as they would attract the enforcement team.
Of course, all rules were based on the foundation of strength. The Ancient God attacking Xia Feng earlier gave them ten thousand reasons to justify their actions.
However, conversely, if Xia Feng had no backing here, it would be considered a private duel.
From ancient times to the present, everywhere, it has been the norm that officials are allowed to set fires while common people are forbidden from lighting lamps.
"Let's go, the enforcement team will be here soon," Zuo Bin said, picking up a small boy with one arm and directly running towards the back door of the tavern.
Qi Sisi, with a look of anxiety, took two quick steps, grabbed Xia Feng's hand, and chased after Zuo Bin.
