"You threw my gladiator into that filthy and disgusting underground arena?!"
When Graeus returned, he taught himself a harsh lesson for his absurd wife. In fact, the gains and losses of a gladiator www.biquge.info nothing to Graus, who has a lot of money, but what Graus can't stand is that his wife disposes of his property at will without his permission. (Gladiator slaves were also the property of nobles)
"That's what he asked for."
Portilla sat on the edge of the bed and continued to respond coldly. The juice of wine remained at the corner of her mouth, obviously, the graceful and luxurious aristocratic woman did not pay attention to her husband's "thunderous anger", in the past years, it was not the first time that Gray lost his temper like this, but every time he did not dare to do anything to Portilla, because Portilla's father was a wealthy man in Rome and a tax collector in Greece.
So Graeus only dared to lose his temper in the past, and he didn't dare to do anything to his wife.
But this time it was different, Graeus had just returned from the Senate and hugged another pair of thighs, which was Pompeii. During the operation of the Triumvirate, many members of the Senate wavered from side to side and threw themselves on the side of the Triumvirate, and Pompey agreed to Graeus's request to work under him, and with the support of the first person in Rome in this era, Graeus returned with a much stronger waist.
However, Portilla did not know about these things now, and continued to speak in a condescending tone to her wretched husband.
"Did he himself ask to send him to your bed?!"
Graeus roared, and this roar was completely unexpected by Portilla. It turned out that when he was alone in this mansion, Graeus had already arranged for his subordinates to monitor his behavior, and Graeus was so urban that Portilla had not even noticed it before, and he had always thought that his husband was a cowardly and incompetent declining nobleman.
"You sent someone to spy on me!"
Portilla shouted angrily, and in the house, the sound of the two people arguing spread outside, and the guard stood nervously in the doorway, at a loss.
"Not only will I send people to spy on you, but I will also send people to watch your servants, I will let them keep an eye on you all day long, don't think that I don't know what you did before, I know every move you take, now, I will not indulge your behavior anymore, in this family, everything I say, including all property, without my permission, you are not allowed to touch half a cent."
Syllable......
After Graeus finished speaking, a loud slap was thrown on his face, and the slightly flushed face revealed the man's incompetence in the past, and also indicated that Graeus was going to talk to this woman today. And Zhang Ce is just the fuse of this family feud, without Portilla sending Zhang Ce to the underground arena, Graeus will also come up with other ways to pierce this veil.
"Who do you think you are? Relying on his father, who got up by loan sharking, can he be above others, right? Let me tell you, this family is now up to me, and it is okay if your father's financial support is given, or if you don't, I will send guards to guard the passage of the whole house, and if you want to go out so freely, come and kneel down first and beg for my mercy. ”
Gray grabbed his wife's wrist and roared.
Portilla would never have thought of where the backbone of her husband came from today, and he dared to rebel against his authority like that hairy boy? Portilla, shouting to the end of his guards, discovers that what happened today was already in Gray's arrangement, and that the thin-skinned and tender Aduneus was even just a pawn for him to pierce the veil.
"I'll let that gladiator come back to my school, and you, obediently at home, do your wife's duty. Otherwise, the next time I find out that you have something out of the ordinary, it won't be as good as it is today. ”
With that, Graeus threw down his wife, who was dressed in a luxurious nightgown, and walked out of the room in disgust. The guards on both sides of the courtyard straightened up, as if to greet the new owner of the house......
"Roar."
The barbarian pounced, Zhang Ce retreated again and quickly dodged, at this distance, the Thracian gladiator just pounced on Zhang Ce less than a meter in front of him. In the next second, with the stabbing of the fighting short sword, the barbarian's heavy body also threw himself into the sand.
Zhang Ce seized this brief opportunity, picked up the wooden stick again, and swung it down with all his might, and the barbarian gladiator fell to the ground in an instant. A burst of warm blood slowly flowed from his mouth. But Zhang Ce knew that this blow was not enough, this armor had good protection against blunt weapons, and the hammer just now, if it was a bare arm, would also cause a certain amount of disability, but this Thracian gladiator was wearing a heavy armor. Blunt force damage is limited.
When the barbarian got up again, Zhang Ce kicked the heavy cheek, and in an instant, the Batar warrior shook his head like a grizzly bear, and blood spurted out from between his teeth.
"Hmm."
There was a very unfriendly sound of inversion on the field. Obviously, most people bet on the Thracians, and now, if Zhang Ce wins, it is only in the interests of a small number of people, and the vast majority of the audience, will have to pay for it.
This kind of scene is something that everyone does not want to see, but the game must continue. Hooligan ruffians surround the arena and break anyone's leg if they dare to go down and make trouble, and any game has its own rules. So, even now, when the Seres are knocked to the ground, the competition will continue.
The barbarian still wanted to get up, this time, Zhang Ce didn't give him a chance again, he directly pasted it, and stole out the dagger that was inserted in the barbarian's thigh, the Thracian gladiator obviously didn't notice this subtle movement, and when he was about to fight back, Xueliang's dagger had been held by Zhang Ce and inserted into the barbarian's chest at a very fast speed.
That's where the heart is, the barbarian gladiator is wrapped in iron armor, only the chest is exposed, in order to show off your strong muscles? So, go and show it, Zhang Ce only looks at the actual thing, and the actual thing is that there is no protection on your chest. So the dagger found the position of the atrium and stabbed it in.
The battle ended in a short period of time, a result that surprised everyone, and the scene fell silent. Until the profit-making civilians shouted out Zhang Ce's name, Aduneus......
