Chapter 30: The Wolf and the Devil (1)
"What, do you want me to pay 10,000 more Baileys?"
Wolfe's reaction had been expected by Leach, but he didn't take it to heart, and said unhurriedly: "Mr. Wolf, don't worry, listen to what I say." If my guess is correct, then there should be only one game left in the game, and you must have lost the first four games without any suspense, right?"
Hearing this, the angry Wolf couldn't help but suffocate, and a trace of panic and embarrassment flashed across his fat face.
And so it was. Leach smiled, and Wolf's reaction confirmed his suspicions.
On the way here, Leach wondered why the commission was so well paid. It's just to defeat a person, and it's not to kill someone, and the reward of 20,000 Baileys is completely unreasonable.
But after listening to Wolf's explanation just now, Leach fully understood. If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way out, a fool would do that, after all, no one's money fell from the sky.
"Hehe, since there is only one last chance left, then what can you do if you pay more? If you lose, I naturally won't get a penny, I'm afraid you will lose more, win, you solve the trouble, I believe that the money spent will be earned back soon." Mr. Wolfe, am I right?"
It's not to blame Leach for being too unkind to take advantage of the fire to rob, after knowing that Wolf set up a handicap to gamble privately, Leach decided that he was rich and unkind, and he didn't have much psychological burden to temporarily pit him once, and secondly, Leach was short of money recently, and at this time, how could he not make a lot of money?
It's no secret that the arena has private gambling sessions, and while there is no explicit rule prohibiting gambling, Leach has never been very interested in it.
Wright also wanted to punish severely, but there were many participants in this gambling game, and there were many interests behind it, and Wright had to have some scruples, which directly led to the casino in the arena almost becoming a legal industry.
As the person directly in charge, Wolf also knows how to measure and knows that the lord of the city doesn't like this kind of gray industry, so he has always limited the scope of gambling to the competition in the arena, and they are at peace with each other.
But Leach, as a close person to Wright, usually heard a lot about Ambrera's management, and he knew very well that Wright did not have the slightest affection for this Mr. Wolf, so he did not have the slightest mercy on the slaughter.
Generally speaking, it is rare for an adventure hunter to ask his employer for an increase in remuneration on the spur of the moment, after all, the gains outweigh the losses. If you don't think so, some people don't think so, if you don't do it, there are a lot of substitutes in the back. If the employer is annoyed and loses his job, it will also leave a stain on the records of the Adventure Hunter Guild and affect the receipt of future commissions.
However, if the employer agrees to this seemingly unreasonable request, and the task is completed, not only will it not affect the reputation, but it will become a symbol of its own strength, and its value will rise.
In addition to being quite confident in his own strength, after knowing that the target of the mission was the girl who quarreled with Liliet, Leach was completely sure of this mission.
When the time comes, take the opportunity to woo the other party, let the other party release the water, promise her some benefits, and don't worry about the completion of the task, which is also the reason why Leach temporarily asked for a price increase.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the other party is desperate and refuses to agree, Leach doesn't think that she can defeat herself at such a young age. Leach is quite confident in his own strength.
Here Leach played a good calculation, and over there Wolf finally gritted his teeth and agreed after a battle between heaven and man.
"I agree, but you have to prove that you are capable of this task!" Forced to sign an unequal treaty, Wolf's attitude towards Leach was not as good as it was at the beginning, and if it weren't for Leach's confident appearance, Wolf would have ordered someone to blast him out.
"It's nature!"
The results of the test are naturally self-evident, Wolf sincerely wants to make Leach ugly, and he knows that the thugs he raises here can deal with ordinary people, and he wants to be an opponent with a well-known adventure hunter but is not qualified enough, so when the rules are formulated, it becomes that Leach is not allowed to fight back, and his men rush up, regardless of means or weapons, as long as Leach can hold on for ten minutes without being hit, even if Leach passes.
Leach knew Worf's dirty thoughts, but he didn't break them, and wanted him to see what he was capable of, lest he feel that he had suffered a big loss and chattered.
The rules forbid the fight back, but did not say that they were not allowed to block with weapons, and the so-called test was very simple for Leach.
According to the rules of the fighting arena, each contestant can choose two ways to compete. One is to fight against the monsters raised in the arena, which is called an exhibition match, and the other is to compete with other players, which is called a competitive match.
Exhibition matches are relatively frequent, and each contestant can apply for one exhibition match per day, up to one per day. As long as the contestants can persevere, they can keep fighting, and the longer they persist, the higher the pay. Tournaments have much longer intervals, ranging from half a month to a month. Contestants can only be one-on-one, and after the battle, regardless of whether they are injured or not, they cannot continue to challenge the next one. The winner wins most of the prize money, and the loser gets only the fraction that remains.
For the players, the remuneration of exhibition matches is not high, but the victory is frequent, and the remuneration of competitive tournaments is much higher, which is the main source of income for the players who make a living from it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, next, it's the exhibition match you're looking forward to!" The host began to heat up, "The participating party is the strange girl you are familiar with, who has never been defeated in half a year, let's welcome, Tali!"
Amid the tsunami of a tsunami of applause, Tali dragged her huge iron ball to the middle of the field with a nonchalant expression.
"On the other side of the challenge, a newcomer, but also a veteran adventure hunter, let us applaud and welcome, Leach!"
The audience's enthusiasm subsided when they heard that it was a newcomer, but when they heard that it was an adventure hunter, their interest was rekindled, but it was significantly less enthusiastic than when Tali was introduced.
It was the first time to be stared at by so many pairs of eyes at the same time, and Leach was a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't help but be very curious. Therefore, in the process of walking to the center of the venue, he kept waving his arms at the enthusiastic audience, which made the audience more and more enthusiastic.
"Now, I announce, the game begins!"
