"I also think that the human who lost was actually hiding his true strength. In addition, his humility and courtesy made him a person of even higher moral character."
"That's what you call having both virtue and talent! The loser is the one who truly wins!"
Listening to the audience's chatter, the fierce warrior on the stage turned pale.
What the hell?
Even though he won, he received very little applause for himself.
Forget it.
The defeated opponent was suddenly transformed into a winner who had completely triumphed in both strength and character.
Ironically, this guy was knocked unconscious. He hasn't woken up at all since then.
Is there no justice left in this world?
These money-grubbing bastards have absolutely no aesthetic sense or appreciation; they're a bunch of idiots who don't understand gladiatorial combat!
More importantly, I didn't earn a single penny, had no emotional value whatsoever, and was even belittled in return!
At this moment, the warrior's rage was already at its peak.
If this were in an anime, she'd definitely be a character destined for darkness.
It really wants to smash this human's head with a punch and show these spectators who don't respect or understand gladiator fighting what it's all about.
Unfortunately, it cannot do so due to rule restrictions.
But it's okay, it still has a chance.
There were quite a few unlucky ones this time.
I heard there were six or seven, and then two more came.
As the strongest gladiator in the arena, he still has many more opportunities to fight in rotation.
That so-called behind-the-scenes boss can provide subsidies once, but can he do it a second or third time?
Does he have that much money for subsidies?
Those who lost their bet this time received a hundredfold bonus. Therefore, in the next round, the vast majority of viewers will undoubtedly bet on humans.
As a result, the amount of subsidies needed would likely increase tenfold or even a hundredfold.
The boss behind the scenes can't afford the subsidies.
Having figured this out, Mengshi felt a little relieved.
In the cage on the other side, six employees who had not yet taken their turn thought that their colleague would not escape death today.
The turn of events was unexpected and exceeded their expectations.
"What happened? The boss behind the scenes saved his life."
"Who is the mastermind behind this? Could it be our reinforcements arriving?"
"That's not right. Even the fastest reinforcements should take more than a day to arrive."
"I heard that Mr. Chen is also coming to space today. Could it be...?"
"No way, what kind of person is Boss Chen? He shouldn't be taking such a risk. If something goes wrong, how will we explain it to Wangjiang Watchtower?"
Is it possible that Mr. Chen has been challenging bizarre scenarios for many years?
"This extravagant spending style really does resemble Boss Chen's."
The employees chimed in with their own comments.
Although judging from the style, it is indeed Mr. Chen's approach.
But no one is sure if the esteemed Mr. Chen will really take this risk.
Meanwhile, the audience in the stands were also full of speculation and discussion about this mysterious behind-the-scenes boss.
No one knows who that mysterious wealthy person is.
And why would someone spend a fortune to save a defeated gladiator?
As soon as the first fight ended, staff immediately came to the ring and dragged the unconscious person off.
According to the usual procedure, this person would be taken backstage, thrown on the ground, and then doused with a bucket of ice water.
Some of the bloodstains on the floor came from this.
As for whether he will wake up or not, that's up to fate.
If they don't wake up, they'll still be carried onto the ring when it's time to go on stage. The final result is always the same: they'll be executed by their opponent.
However, Chen Mu paid for it.
Therefore, under the instructions of the administrator, the staff took extra care of the injured employees.
They even prepared stretchers to carry the unconscious person backstage.
The administrators assured Chen Mu that they would take good care of the wounded.
After saying this, the administrator said somewhat awkwardly:
"Sir, to be honest, I'd be happy to make an exception for you."
However, according to the rules of our arena, you two gentlemen are new gladiators.
"For the next duel, one of you two will have to be chosen to fight."
At this point, fearing that Chen Mu might misunderstand, the administrator quickly explained again:
"This is all required by the rules, and I really didn't want to do it, but if we don't do it this way, both of you and I will be punished by the rules..."
Xiao Ye said to Chen Mu'er, "Boss, my fighting skills are stronger. Although my strength is limited to the level of a Ghostly Commoner, I'm still confident I can beat them if I go on stage."
Boss, let me play this time.
Chen Mu waved his hand, ignoring Xiao Ye, and instead gestured for her to go play somewhere else.
Chen Mu said to the administrator, "It's okay, I understand. I'm not the kind of person who breaks the rules."
By the way, don't call me "Grandpa" next time, it sounds cheesy. Just call me Boss Chen.
"I'll take the stage for this duel and show that guy what I'm made of."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye quickly whispered to Chen Mu'er, "Boss, you're now also restricted to the Ghost Clan."
I'm not trying to belittle you, it's just that your fighting skills might be a bit lacking. Let me handle it.
Chen Mu knew that Xiao Ye was doing it for his own good.
But Chen Mu smiled and shook his head. He patted Xiao Ye on the shoulder and said earnestly:
"Xiao Ye, although I don't know as much about fighting as you, I understand people's hearts better than you do."
The confrontation in the ring is not only a contest of fighting skills, but also a contest of humanity.
Watch closely, I'll teach you another trick. You can win like this in the ring.
Hearing Chen Mu's earnest words, Xiao Ye immediately shut up.
Xiao Ye knew that her boss was serious this time.
"Come on, take me to the ring!"
Chen Mu said to the administrator.
"Alright! Mr. Chen, this way please!"
The administrator bowed and gestured for Chen Mu to enter.
However, the direction the administrator "invited" was not the stairs leading to the arena, but a very ornate-looking chair.
Chen Mu was somewhat puzzled, but he believed that the administrator wouldn't mess with him unless he was completely out of his mind.
So Chen Mu walked over and sat down in the chair.
The moment he sat down, four staff members rushed out from behind the curtain.
With the administrator's shout of "Lift!", four strange figures, two in front and two behind, lifted Chen Mu's chair up.
Chen Mu was like a simplified version of an emperor, carried by four strange figures, walking step by step up the steps toward the arena.
The administrator led the way, giving Chen Mu ample recognition.
In the stands, the audience saw four eerie figures carrying a gladiator onto the stage like a palanquin.
The administrator bent down to clear a path for the gladiator.
For a moment, the stands fell completely silent.
Everyone watched this scene unfold; such a thing had never happened in all the years the arena had been in.
