Chapter 116: Intricate Relationships

After more than half an hour of fighting bravery, wit, and wrestling, the fight between the challenger and the defender finally came to the last moment.

On the challenger's side, the four debutants with more average strength were swept out by the opponent one by one, leaving only the two strongmen who once turned the tide; On the defender's side, only one of the four strong men fell, but the remaining three were already bloodstained on their faces and bodies, not only did they look embarrassed, but their physical strength and functions were also weakened to varying degrees.

Judging from the scene, the defender is still the side with more hope of winning the final victory, but in the fighting arena of Orens, there is no shortage of heart-wrenching big reversals!

Spectators can still place bets during a fight match, and the bookmaker constantly adjusts the odds according to the changing situation on the field. When the last two challengers confronted each other briefly with the three strong men of the defenders, the arena girl entered the box again and told the guests in a sweet voice that the odds were adjusted to 5 to 1 for red and 7 to 4 for blue.

"Major, can you do me a favor?" Edwig spoke suddenly.

Major Brooks turned his head to look at him, "With our abilities, is there anything you can't do here and I can?" ”

Weiss also looked at the Grumman Group's "young owner" with curiosity.

As if playing a trick, Edwig pulled out a wad of bills from his pocket, about a hundred or so of them, all of them "Redbeard". This is undoubtedly a huge amount of money compared to ordinary people, but for the wealthy class, it may only be a month's pocket money, or a few meals.

"I'm not sure which side to bet on, and I'm sure you can do me a favor. Win, we have half a point. Lose, count it mine. It's not difficult to say this busy, but it's not easy to say it's simple...... Red, or blue? ”

This seems to be a simple multiple-choice question, but in essence it is a small means of "giving benefits", and both in the form and in the amount, it cleverly circumvents the provisions of the current federal law on bribery, bribery, and solicitation, so that military personnel like Major Brooks can take it without worry.

Major Brooks thought about it for a moment: "Bet half each, in this way, even if Red loses, the loss is very small, but if Red wins, you can win about double the profit, which is very cost-effective." ”

Admiring the "good strategy," Edwig divided the stack of bills in his hand into two and put them in the girl's silver tray, to put it mildly.

Weiss noticed that it was not surprising that Edwig did not carefully count the number of banknotes, but the girl did not count them on the spot either, so with such an amount of bets, she was not afraid of mistakes?

The girl immediately leaned down and asked the fat vice president and Weiss, "Do these two gentlemen still need to make additional bets?" ”

The fat vice president seemed to dislike the bet and waved his hand a little impatiently and refused.

Weiss thought about it for a moment, and said that there was no need to add more.

After the girl left the box, Edwig turned to Weiss and said, "Brother Dragon, with the help of the Major, we can all be winners tonight!" ”

Weiss sneered, "I have a strong instinct that you're the biggest winner tonight." ”

"Really?" Edwig replied with a smile, and quickly turned his gaze back to the ring.

After a full three or four minute pause, the strong men who were defending finally attacked. If they succeed tonight, they will be rewarded accordingly, and the reason why the challengers stand in the arena is not only for the honor of the warriors, but also for the generous rewards announced by the organizers......

Weiss narrowed his eyes, focusing on the numbers jumping in the imaginary frame. Although the two challengers are inferior on the field, they are full of mental vitality and their biological functions are also very strong, on the other hand, two of the three strong men's biological functions have been less than two-thirds of the upper limit, indicating that these two people are not in good condition, and they are just gritting their teeth and holding on.

In the arena, the two challengers were back-to-back, each carrying a broken shield, stubbornly withstood the strong men's attacks, and then suddenly burst into flames, each spotting a strong man and slamming the opponent's head and neck with their armsticks, knocking them to the ground in quick succession. After that, the two challengers quickly retreated to avoid being attacked by the third strong man. However, the two-on-three disadvantage is there, and these three strong men have excellent fighting skills and experience, and they will not easily miss key opportunities in key moments. While the two challengers quickly knocked out the two strong men, the third strong man also stared at one of the challengers, and the challenger fell to the ground and convulsed with two blows......

The paramedics rushed in and carried down the two brawny men and a challenger who had lost their combat effectiveness.

In the huge fighting arena, only the last two figures remained.

In Weiss's eyes, the last challenger is the highest combat power among the six, and the last strong man is also the strongest in the four-person guard.

"I have an impression of this man!" Edwig suddenly opened his mouth, "If I'm not mistaken, he should be an agent at the Reagan City Police Department, but I can't remember the name." ”

"You guys, too, can agents compete in fighting matches?" Major Brooks was slightly surprised.

"According to the local laws of the federal state of Alsa, anyone can compete in martial arts on an individual basis, including public servants. Of course, there is also a premise, that is, you must not interfere with the process of martial arts in your official capacity. In Reagan City, agents often sign up as freelancers during their vacations, as I said at the beginning...... The fighting matches in Reagan City are very local. Don't be too surprised if you see a bundesrat wearing protective gear in the martial arts ring, because this has happened before. ”

The major nodded and said, "No wonder this person is very skilled in using police equipment, I see!" With the current situation, we should have a good chance of winning tonight! Hey, Dragon, why don't you take advantage of this last chance to make an additional bet? ”

Facing Major Brooks' gaze, Weiss shook his head calmly: "The ancients said that a small gamble can be pleasant, but a big gamble will hurt the body. Winning or losing a few hundred crowns is just having fun, and if you care too much, you lose your original meaning. What do you say? ”

The Major smiled wryly.

"Haha......" Edwig let out a hearty laugh.

The fat vice president glanced at him and muttered, "That's a good thing, what's so funny?" ”

"Yes, that's a good point." "I laugh because I didn't expect the Clumber-Haysom generation to produce two pretty good people in quick succession, which really dwarfs us Grummans!" ”

The fat vice president said: "Ha! My two unsuccessful boys are indeed not worth mentioning, but how many of you brothers and sisters, which one is not the most intelligent and shrewd talent? Although the situation of the Clumber-Haytham family has improved recently, compared to Grumman, he is just a knight standing in front of giants, and no matter how diligent and hard he works, it is difficult to narrow the qualitative gap between the two! ”

"Maybe that's a deal!" Edwig said meaningfully, "Clumber-Haysom is a family with a long and illustrious history, top talented designers, and deep financial backing, and it is only a matter of time before they return to the top." When it comes to talents, well, some people do their best to show themselves, show their edge, and also expose their hole cards, and the real smart people often deliberately hide their strength, use smart means to avoid the suppression of competitors, take advantage of the momentum, and grow secretly. ”

Such words referring to Sang scolding Huai, a clear-eyed person will know who he is talking about as soon as he hears it.

The fat vice president was not angry, but just smiled coldly.

At this moment, an unexpected scene appeared in the fighting arena: I saw the last challenger drop his shield, pick up an arm stick from the ground, put his hands on both sticks, and put on a stand, but when the last defender rushed up with a short stick, he did not fight with it or compete with the stick, but continued to block, with technical force, unloaded the opponent's fierce attack moves, and then stepped forward, using a commonplace grappling move to knock down the opponent, firmly clasping the strong man's neck and right arm, pressing him to the ground and unable to move.

Red, wins......

Outside the ring, boos erupted, faintly drowning out the cheers.

In the box, Edweig held out his hand to Major Brooks: "Thank you, Major! Your suggestion is a great thing for us tonight! ”

The Major shook hands with him, then half-turned his head: "As far as tonight's harvest rate is concerned, Mr. Clumber-Haysan is our number one winner. ”

"Haha......" Edwig let out his demonic laugh again, he walked up to Weiss, shook his hand, and whispered, "When your sophomore is over, I can help you get the entrance exam for the Delefig Senior Staff Academy." I think you should know that the duration of that staff college is two years, and there is no probationary period for graduates, and they can usually get the rank of lieutenant or captain and go to the headquarters of the corps or garrison as a staff officer. ”

The Dellefig Higher Staff Academy, the Grensonll Higher Artillery Academy, and the Dresser Advanced Aviation Academy are known as the three "cradles of generals" of the Ulster Free Federation Army. It is said that more than 98 percent of the more than 900 generals in the federal army are from these three advanced military academies, and more than 90 percent of the officers at the school level are also at the school level. This shows the weight of the three major colleges in the federal military circles.

This means that in just four years, we will be able to stand at heights that many people may not be able to reach in more than a decade.

In the face of Edweig's olive branch, Weiss is not in a hurry to make a statement, after all, he and the fat vice president have formed a steel alliance, thanks to the latter's capital injection, the Clumber-Haysen family is reversing the decline and gradually becoming regular. After more than half a year of contact and cooperation, he felt that Vice President Fat was a reliable partner. Edweig's status and influence in the Grumman Group are certainly higher than that of the fat vice president, but for Weiss, this hot "young owner" in the Grumman Group is an out-and-out stranger, and the best response is not to make any statement without knowing the details and intentions.

Seeing that Weiss was indifferent, Edwig did not show any displeasure, he glanced condescendingly at the fat vice president sitting in the position without moving, and smiled proudly.
