Chapter 754: Chapter 754: The Second Battle
Returning once again to the rest area, there were noticeably fewer people than before.
Surprisingly, Bai Youwei and Shen Mo’s group spotted Tan Xiao’s brothers in the resting hall.
They were with the man in the white gloves.
Astonished, Tan Xiao went over without a second thought to interrogate: “… Brother Shan, how did you guys get recruited by this guy?”
The followers of the man in white gloves immediately glared back.
“What’s with this guy and that guy? Hey, watch your manners when you talk!”
Tan Xiao was taken aback; he had never backed down, he immediately puffed up his chest and scoffed: “What’s being impolite about this? I’ve spoken since I was a kid, do you really need to teach me?! Who the hell do you think you are!”
“Damn! You’re asking for death, aren’t you?!”
Hu Dashan hurriedly came forward to defuse the situation: “We’re all from the same base, why should we ruin the harmony over a few misunderstandings? It’s nothing… I’ll go clear the confusion with him…”
With that, he pulled Tan Xiao aside and softly persuaded: “Why are you causing a scene? Those are tough guys on the other side, do you have a death wish?”
Tan Xiao felt wronged and asked Hu Dashan sulkily: “Brother Shan, didn’t we agree that you and Xiaoqi would join us? Why did you go over there?”
Hu Dashan looked around and lowered his voice even further, saying to Tan Xiao: “Why don’t you come over too?”
Tan Xiao was taken aback, his expression growing even more depressed, “Brother Shan, why did you go to that side? You didn’t even tell me, it’s not fair. Aren’t we supposed to be good brothers?”
“Tan Xiao, because you’re my brother, that’s why I am telling you this…” Hu Dashan gave him a meaningful look and whispered,” If you’re going to be a follower, of course you should choose the king with the highest winning rate. That Ye Chong over there, did you see him? His white gloves are resistant to fire and water and it’s impervious to weapons! It’s better to follow him than a disabled person, right?”
Upon hearing this, Tan Xiao’s heart was filled with mixed emotions, it was hard to swallow. He never thought that Hu Dashan would change his mind at the last minute due to this consideration.
“My sister Wei is much more powerful than him.” Tan Xiao said seriously, with a furrowed brow.
Hu Dashan gave a laugh, “Alright… if you think she’s powerful, then she’s powerful.”
From his expression, it seemed he didn’t really believe it.
“I won’t say any more, I’m heading back.” Hu Dashan patted Tan Xiao’s shoulder, “If you change your mind and want to join us, let me know anytime, that’s it.”
After he finished speaking, he turned and went back into formation, then waved at Tan Xiao, signaling him to quickly return.
Tan Xiao watched for a while, then dropped his head, and returned dejectedly to Bai Youwei’s team.
Shen Mo asked him, “What did you talk about?”
“Nothing much, I just asked him why he went over there…” Tan Xiao sneakily glanced at Bai Youwei, fearing that she might get angry, “Brother Shan said… the chances of winning… are greater on that side.”
Bai Youwei smiled faintly upon hearing this, saying: “The odds of winning might be high, but it also depends on who the opponent is. If they encounter me. Heh…”
Everyone remained silent.
At such a time, nothing seemed appropriate to say.
On the other side, the Clown, Sphere, Cartoonish Man and Elder in the grey robe, four Inspectors as always stood in front of the glowing square, waiting for the kings to enter the battlefield.
The rabbit-headed gentleman looked at everyone and announced with a smile:
“The second battle is about to begin, with a total of 14 kings participating in the battle.
6 Kings have chosen “Battle 1”,
4 Kings have chosen “Battle 5”,
2 Kings have chosen “Battle 10”,
2 Kings have chosen “Battle 20″.
All kings please be aware. If you win the game, the pledged puzzles will be fully returned to you, and you will also get the other party’s pledged puzzles. If you lose the game, the pledged puzzles will be deducted. If the number of puzzles is not enough for the next battle, you will be immediately eliminated.
Each battle can only be chosen once, and after four battles, the final battle will begin.
Now, everyone, please enter the battlefield —”
The Kings shuffled into the glowing square behind the Inspectors’ silhouette.
Bai Youwei purposely stayed back.
She saw the man in the white gloves lead his followers into the “Battle 10” battlefield, her brows twitched in response and her expression took on an uncanny note.
“Interesting,” Bai Youwei curled her lips into a smirk, “he has also chosen ‘Battle 10.’”
