Not many people knew about the whereabouts of Jin Zhan and his party, only Ludia, Omenas and a few close attendants. They had been waiting anxiously in the reception hall.

When they saw the triumphant return of Batitas and his party, the people in the pavilion behaved differently.

Jin Zhan instantly sensed that Ludia couldn't help but reveal a sense of disappointment and frustration. The contrast to Omenas' euphoria is diametrically opposed.

Jin Zhan didn't know why the hostess Ludia was so hostile to him. In any case, he is a valuable thing that Batitas spent a lot of money on.

If she doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, and for the sake of the money spent, she won't show this kind of emotion as if she wishes he died in the game.

Doubts are doubts, Jin Zhan still silently wrote down the attitude of the hostess Ludia. Later, for her and Asur, they must be cautious in contact and prevention.

Omennas was comforted to see Jin Zhan come back almost intact, and at the same time, he saw Batitas with a smug look on his face, and he also understood that this match must have made him rich enough. Jin Zhan will not be put in danger again in the future.

Due to the fact that Sang Dai has been serving Ludia for a long time, she is also clear about their trip to the underground arena.

That night, she quietly ran to Jin Zhan and said to Jin Zhan with joy on her face: "Jin Zhan, it's great that you're okay." When I found out that you were sent to the underground arena by your master, I was scared to death. You're really amazing, don't you even have a little injury on your body? ”

Jin Zhan was also quite close to Sang Dai, the maid he was familiar with at the first time in the Batitas family, and said with a smile: "I have always been lucky, but why did you sneak here in the middle of the night, not afraid of being seen?" ”

"What are you afraid of? Am I not still your language assistant? Do you have a question for me to be justified? Besides, when you come back triumphantly this time, the master doesn't know how happy he is, how can he care about these little things. Sandai replied.

Jin Zhan nodded slightly, but immediately asked: "The host is quite happy, but the hostess doesn't seem to be very happy." ”

Hearing this question, Sang Dai's smile suddenly froze, and said: "I also found out about this, I don't know why, since the master brought you back from the arena, the hostess seems to have been a little prejudiced against you." ”

"Aren't you always by her side, help me analyze what the reason is." Jin Zhan continued to ask.

Sang Dai glanced at Jin Zhan hesitantly, this big boy with pure eyes did give her a lot of good impressions. rushed to him to earn a lot of income for himself, and she should also repay it.

In addition, Jin Zhan's triumphant return from the underground arena this time also made Sang Dai feel a little reverence.

Therefore, she thought carefully and recalled some details of the hostess's life. After a while, she said slowly: "I'll tell you a secret, you must not tell anyone. ”

"Well, you just say, who can you tell me if I don't know a good person?" Jin Zhan laughed at himself.

I found that the mistress seemed to have a special regard for the gladiator, a kind of emphasis that far exceeded the master's recognition and trust in the slave's abilities. Sandai continued.

Jin Zhan frowned and muttered, "Beyond the feelings between master and servant?" Shouldn't it, I think the relationship between the hostess and the host is very close? ”

Sandai continued, "yes, so that's what I'm most confused about. The relationship between the host and the hostess is really good, which I also deeply understand in the details of life. But the hostess does show too much attention on Kress's issue. One thing or two was fine, but I think back on it many times ago. ”

Jin Zhan sighed and continued, "Do you think that my arrival will affect Kress's status in the Battitas family? In that case, she should be even more disgusted with Spartacus. After all, I'm such a thin boy, how can I threaten the powerful Kress. ”

When Sang Dai heard what Jin Zhan said, she nodded again and again and said, "That's right! You're right, the hostess's attitude towards Spartacus is the same as yours, with a kind of resentment for no reason. Then it all makes sense. ”

Jin Zhan smiled bitterly: "Alas, I didn't expect this hostess to think that I was very competitive from the beginning, and I really had to praise her for her unique vision." ”

Sang Dai also laughed and said, "That's true, I didn't see it anyway, your ability is so great." But you do have to be careful in the future, the hostess is far from being as gentle and amiable as it seems. If there's anything going on in the future, I'll tell you about it, and if I can't leave, I'll let Nivea tell you on my behalf. ”

Jin Zhan said gratefully: "Thank you very much! But since the hostess is very thoughtful, don't let me bother you with these things. ”

After a small talk, Jin Zhan urged Sang Dai to hurry back to his master and not stay too long.

It is said that after Jin Zhan's triumphant return, Ludia's emotions were extremely complicated, and on the one hand, she felt very satisfied looking at the huge wealth brought back by Batitas. On the other hand, because Jin Zhan came back from this underground arena unscathed, she was really disappointed. When Batitas left the mansion to leave for work, she summoned Azul to learn more about what had happened in the underground arena. Under Asur's description, Ludia developed a deep fear of Jin Zhan.

For Azul, a loyal, flexible and capable subordinate, Ludia and Battitas also have a lot of trust in him. And what Azul is best at is observing words and feelings, and he has long seen that Ludia does not like Jin Zhan.

Therefore, through this incident, Ludia branded Jin Zhan as ignorant of current affairs, self-righteousness, etc., which made her prejudice continue to ferment.

While the two were chatting, Battitas broke through the door in a hurry. Seeing Batitas's sad and slightly angry expression, both people in the hall were very surprised.

After all, when he went out, Batitas was still in a beautiful and happy mood, how could it be that after just two or three hours, it had changed so much.

Ludia was the first to ask, "Honey, what trouble have you gone out into?" Why do you look dejected? ”

Batitas took a breath and said, "Isn't it because of that rain match... Alas, I had just gone to meet with the magistrate and the old fellow Soronis, and to discuss the Arena sacrifice for rain. ”

"Soronis, the old thing, didn't have to send gladiators to participate in this sacrifice because he introduced the famous Shadow of Death to participate in the competition early, and now the pressure is all on me."

"Naturally, I am also arguing with reason, after all, there are very few gladiators of this level in the country of Shadow of Death. My gladiator is not in the same heavyweight class as him at all. The administrator was reasonable, and felt that it was a bit too much for my people to face the shadow of death. ”

"But the old pervert of Soronis actually offered to have my two men, Kress and Spartacus, fight together, and the administrator gladly accepted this offer..."

"I'm likely to lose two of my most important players. As a result, my batitas' gladiator business will be ruined......"
