CHAPTER 174 MEET BRUCE AGAIN (PART TWO)
Darren did not respond to his question.
Harvey assumed his silence to be a yes.
He didn't expect any of this to happen. Besides, it was his responsibility to deal with the situation and
make sure that everything went on as planned. The fight could not go on as they promised, but the
audience would not accept it.
"Darren, if the fight has to stop then we will only have to pay you half of the reward. Are you willing to
accept that?" Harvey asked.
A moment ago, Harvey had heard Bruce concede from the fight and obviously, Darren was supposed
to obtain the reward of eight million ink stones if he could defeat Bruce on the platform with one fist. So
now he was attempting to negotiate with Darren by offering him only half of the promised reward.
"I don't care. You can do as you like."
Now Darren already had a few million of ink stones and he believed it was more than enough to buy This belongs to - ©.
the Primitive Stone in tomorrow's auction. What he was currently worried about was how he would be
able to take Bruce away with him. What Bruce was suffering from now reminded him of his own
miserable memories. And he couldn't help but feel very sorry for him.
"Bruce, how are you feeling? Can you stand up and go with me? I will not fight you. Let's get out of
here together," Darren lowered himself beside Bruce and asked him in a low voice in fear of frightening
him.
"No, no! I...lose. It hurts..." Hearing Darren's words, Bruce was still obviously terrified.
Darren knew for sure that Bruce would be mistreated badly if he failed to win a great amount of ink
stones. And Darren also could tell that Bruce had been treated badly and that was why he was
behaving very oddly right now.
"Let's go, come with me. You don't have to be afraid. Trust me and follow my lead," Darren instructed
Bruce with the most gentle voice.
"Humph! Are you Darren?"
At that moment, a voice full of hatred and great power spoke up.
Darren looked up. The young man that he had thrown off the platform had returned, together with
another young man with an overwhelming aura. The voice obviously came from him.
"Who are you?" Darren replied to him coldly.
"Hah! There are so many other places that I've thoroughly searched. Do you know I have been looking
all over for you? You dared to hurt my younger brother that severely. Now I have the chance to cut you
into pieces myself!" the young man said while glaring at Darren with great murderous intent.
This young man had already heard about what happened the other day in the Lotus Holy Land. He
merely wanted to make some money by taking Bruce here. But someone reported to him the current
situation on the arena. He realized it should be the guy who had defeated Bruce the last time. Upon
learning this, he rushed to the arena as soon as possible.
Now Darren understood that this man was probably the older brother of Rory, who had told his older
brother exactly what transpired the other day after he regained his consciousness.
"How dare you!" At that moment, however, Harvey stepped forward and stopped him. "The Prison
Battle Arena is not a place where you can run around as you wish. It doesn't matter if you are a disciple
of the Ancient Families. But if you insist, I can ask some powerful cultivators at the Wonder Realm to
fight you!"
The Gu Clan was also powerful enough and should not be looked down upon. After all, the big man,
Grunkle, was behind them.
"Mr. Gu, I think you misunderstood what I just said. Is it not reasonable that my slave refused to fight,
so I decided to come and fight in his place instead? " said the young man whose name was Carl Wei.
Harvey paused and turned to Darren, "What do you think, Darren? If you are not willing to fight him, I
can return all the bets and I would still reward you four million ink stones."
Hearing what Harvey said, Carl Wei grew more furious. He did not want Darren to do as the middle-
aged man said. In the Prison Battle Arena, every participant was protected. So he could not have the
opportunity to fight and kill Darren. Otherwise, the Prison Battle Arena would have a point if they send
some of their own cultivators from the Wonder Realm to kill him.
So before Darren answered Harvey's question, Carl Wei opened his mouth and said, "Stinker, you want
to take that bastard with you, right? If you fight with me in the tenth fight and win, I will let you have
him." Carl Wei spoke to Darren as he saw the way Darren treated Bruce.
"Then let's fight right now!" Darren replied to him without any hesitation.
Carl Wei smiled coldly then asked his servants to take Bruce away for the meantime.
The audience still did not understand what was happening. Now they were so furious that they could
almost break the entire Prison Battle Arena.
"Darren, now that you have agreed with them, I no longer have anything to say. So everything will go
as planned. As for the deal you and him made, I can serve as the witness. No one can stop you from
taking that young wounded man away with you if you win. You have my word. Don't worry about it,"
Harvey assured Darren.
"Fine!" Darren replied without any expression.
"Once you start the fight, you can no longer change your mind. A moment ago the winner from
yesterday refused to fight you and I broke the rules of the Prison Battle Arena by letting him go. Now
that you have agreed to fight, you have to push through with it. Otherwise, the Prison Battle Arena will
chase and kill the man who violates the rules at any cost. Even I have no power to change this,"
Harvey explained to Darren. After all, the Prison Battle Arena was under the control of the Gu Clan.
And their reputation was very important to them which meant he couldn't change the rules as he
pleased.
"That shouldn't be a problem," Darren answered him and jumped onto the fighting platform!
"Ha ha! You stinker! I hope you know that you are about to die!" Carl Wei also jumped onto the fighting
platform as he burst out all of his powerful aura.
At that moment, the whole arena became quiet and all the people were focused on him as they had
sensed the powerful aura of a cultivator at the Wonder Realm!
