Kevin didn't answer.

He knew that the eagle-faced man hadn't actually watched the duel between Xia Qingyang and Seven Steps Kill carefully at all.

The eagle-faced man said such things because he was unhappy when he heard that he had just mentioned Xia Qingyang.

He had already done something wrong with good intentions, and in order not to cause more trouble to Xia Qingyang, he shouldn't talk more at this time.

Seeing that Kevin acquiesced, the eagle-faced man looked a lot more satisfied, and no longer mentioned Xia Qingyang.

"Speaking of which, you know, don't worry about today's opponent, I've already taken care of it for you."

Hearing this, Kevin's pupils shrank slightly-

It's like you've shrunk to the extreme, but you've still been poked at the most painful point in your heart.

Kevin raised his head sharply and looked at the eagle-faced man: "I can win with my own strength!" ”

"I know." The eagle-faced man casually picked up the empty glass next to him, handed it to Kevin, and motioned for him to pour the wine.

Kevin didn't want to give in. But as the eagle-faced man's gaze gradually sharpened, he endured and endured, but still picked up the wine bottle and poured it full for the eagle-faced man.

"Wouldn't it be better to rely on me once in a while and make it easier for yourself."

The eagle-faced man touched the cup Kevin had placed on the table and curled the corners of his lips, "Go ahead, I wish you victory." ”

-

Although Xia Qingyang's duel was over, she said to Peral, stayed and watched the next Kevin's duel.

Kevin's opponent is a magician.

Mecha vs. magic, you can imagine how cool this battle is.

The audience was really ignited. The total amount of the gambling pool in this duel has also soared to an astonishing level, thousands of times that of Xia Qingyang's just now.

"Envy." Peral looked at Xia Qingyang.

He found Xia Qingyang's gaze, and kept looking at Kevin, who was victorious in the field, and thought that she was yearning for this kind of scene, so he smiled, "As long as you can hit the surface, you will have such a day." ”

With yesterday's competition, Xia Qingyang is now a strong man close to Kevin in Peral's mind.

Xia Qingyang didn't respond, and frowned slightly after a while: "Why is he so passive about the battle." ”

"Who are you talking about, Kevin?" Peral turned his head.

He saw Kevin jump out of his mech, his figure looming in the smoke of gunpowder in the field.

To be honest, he could only see that the battle scene just now was grand and shocking. I can't see anything negative or not.

But since Xia Qingyang said this, maybe she saw something.

Peral: "Maybe it's the opponent today who doesn't need him to use all his strength? ”

Xia Qingyang shook his head, but did not explain.

When she says negative, she doesn't mean Kevin.

Kevin did his best. She could tell. Even, he was more serious than when he fought against her yesterday.

But his opponent, the magician, for some reason, had a negative attitude towards the battle.

"Let's go back."

Xia Qingyang took the initiative to stretch out his arm and asked Peral to shackle him.

-

After winning the seven-step kill, Xia Qingyang naturally rose directly to the minus seventieth layer.

This step is a big leap, although it is nothing in the eyes of the audience, but among the prisoners, it is still famous.

Three days later, someone made an appointment to meet Xia Qingyang.

Xia Qingyang thought that Peral had brought her news of the next duel.

Unexpectedly, the door of the meeting room opened, and she saw a middle-aged man in a dress and a top hat.

"This is Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith, this is what you're looking for, prisoner number F10028. The jailer on the minus 70th floor gave a brief introduction, then closed the door and left.

Xia Qingyang swept away the surprise in his eyes, and had a basic inference in his heart about Smith's intention.

Sure enough, Smith stiffened his face and asked his assistant to explain the reason to Xia Qingyang-

It's exactly the same as Xia Qingyang's guess. Smith had come to discuss funding for her.

Yes, the first person who wanted to be Xia Qingyang's gold owner was the reluctant Mr. Smith in front of him.

After the assistant talked about the many benefits, he opened the clause book on the table and pushed it forward, letting Xia Qingyang see if there was anything he was dissatisfied with.

Xia Qingyang walked to the table and lowered his eyes to see that these terms were clearly listed, and the purpose was to hold her up to the 0th floor.

It was written that all kinds of equipment, weapons, cultivation cheats and other expenses during the period were covered by Smith. The opponents were all arranged by Smith. Once on the 0th floor, Smith will also provide her with the most exclusive accommodation and a variety of premium treatments.

Instead, she would listen to Mr. Smith and give him all of herself—but not limited to her spirit and body—for him.

Of course, the terms are not so straightforward, but that's what it means.

After all, cultivating a prisoner, in addition to having fun for himself, he must also give full play to the greatest value of the prisoner. Especially for someone like Mr. Smith who wants to squeeze into the upper echelons.

Killing people for him, taking the blame, and even sexual bribery are probably all relatively light tasks.

"How? If there is nothing that needs to be revised, just sign this one. ”

The assistant even pushed the pen directly in front of her, "Sign it, and your prison life will be over, and you will no longer live in this magic tower as a 'prisoner', but a close partner of Mr. Smith." After ascending to the 0th floor, you can also be admired and sought after by countless people, and live a more leisurely life than you outside the magic tower. ”

Xia Qingyang didn't sit down, nor did he touch the pen he pushed.

The assistant paused: "Or, what are you not satisfied with this clause?" It doesn't matter, it's fair to say that we Mr. Smith are very generous with our partners. ”

Partner? That's a nice thing to say.

This is in the purchase of livestock.

It turns out that this is the relationship between the gold owner and the prisoner in the magic tower.

Xia Qingyang raised his eyes to look at Smith, who had not said a word from beginning to end.

Smith looked back at her, and the look in his eyes seemed to say, don't be ignorant, just give you a face.

- In fact, if it weren't for the last resort, Smith would never want to talk about cooperation with Xia Qingyang.

After all, she first killed the seedlings he had carefully cultivated, and all the energy and financial resources he had invested before were wasted. He also killed the seven-step kill he arranged to retaliate, causing him to be laughed at by his friends.

However, his appraiser told him that the cultivation value of the Ghost Step Girl was very high, and the strength was likely to be more than that.

In order to have a prisoner above the 0th floor in his hand, as a bargaining chip to break into the upper circle, he put up with it and asked his assistant to draw up the terms.

Smith believed that the prisoners in the magic tower, especially those below the surface, should be grateful and accept it immediately when they heard that a financier was willing to fund him.

That's right, just like Xia Qingyang thought, Smith felt that the difference between the gold owner and the prisoner was the difference between people and domestic animals.

People are equal, there are deals to be discussed. But who has ever seen a man on an equal footing with a domestic animal?
