Chapter 47 Arena

"Oh, just watching the show?" The squad leader clearly didn't believe Ye Feng's words; who would be so calm while watching a show?

“It’s true, this gentleman is here to eat, I can vouch for that.” At this moment, the waiter came up and interjected. Ye Feng was a customer here, so of course they couldn’t let this captain be arrested and questioned for no reason.

"Alright, in that case, I'll call it a day," the squad leader said impatiently, guessing that the pursuers should be back by now.

"Report, Captain, the enemy is running too fast, we couldn't catch up." Sure enough, the team that went out to pursue them lost their target and returned to report.

"Fall back." The squad leader didn't say much and quickly led his team away. The restaurant owner, who had called for guards, didn't say anything more even though they hadn't caught the two troublemakers. He was joking; they were already being very kind by coming to protect his restaurant. The two had gotten away, which was unavoidable. And he dared to complain? He was worried the guards wouldn't care about him next time.

The boss quickly instructed his staff to clean up the damaged items and then reopened for business as usual, never mentioning the fight again.

After the brief fight, the restaurant returned to normal. Once it reopened, customers gradually returned, and it seemed the fight hadn't affected its business.

Indeed, fights like this are quite common. Although there are always people watching, most people are used to it. Most of the time, the two sides in a fight don't dare to escalate the situation too much, at least they won't hurt the onlookers.

This is also an unwritten rule in Starmoon City. Although there are guards to manage fights, the management is not very strict. However, if you harm innocent bystanders during a fight, or intentionally kill someone in Starmoon City, the situation will be different. Once such a situation occurs, Starmoon City will definitely dispatch experts to hunt you down.

Given this premise, the two sides involved in the fight are usually quite cautious, so the fights rarely result in fatalities. The residents of Starmoon City also know the rules, so such fights don't significantly affect the restaurant's business.

Ye Feng's bold actions were still unbelievable to ordinary people. After all, provoking a martial artist was not a wise choice. Others might not dare to kill you in public, but they would always have a chance to strike when no one was around. So, in the event of a fight, ordinary people would choose to avoid it, at least they wouldn't sit there like Ye Feng, swaggering around and asking to eat.

A group of people looked at Ye Feng as if he were an idiot, which made Ye Feng feel a little uncomfortable, and the food he was eating suddenly didn't taste so good.

Not long after, Ye Feng finished his not-so-delicious breakfast, left the restaurant, and headed towards the arena.

The arena is located on the west side of Starmoon City. It is a circular building, and from the outside, Ye Feng felt that it looked like a formal football stadium when watching a live broadcast of a match.

Ye Feng had already arrived outside the arena, but instead of rushing in to find Nader, he began to wander around.

Ye Feng quickly found a gambling den on the outskirts of the area. This was the purpose of his wandering around. He had initially underestimated the amount of purple gold coins he needed when telling Nader he required more. Even with 20,000 purple gold coins, plus the 58,000 he already had, the total would only be 78,000. If the auction price of the Flame Crystal was driven too high, Ye Feng estimated he wouldn't be able to afford it.

Ye Feng didn't know exactly how much money he could earn from a match; he had only given a rough estimate. To prevent running out of money, betting on himself might be a good option.

"Boss, why are the odds for Ye Feng so low? What is that unicorn fighting Ye Feng?" Ye Feng looked at the battle schedule and odds created for today, and sure enough, his name was there. It seemed Nader was taking his affairs seriously. However, Ye Feng wasn't satisfied with the odds. Betting on Ye Feng to win was only 2 to 1, which meant he would have to bet 20,000 to win and only receive 10,000 purple gold coins.

To avoid attracting attention, Ye Feng didn't plan to bet that much. Looking at the odds, Ye Feng probably already had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

"Hey bro, you're so young, you've never been to the arena before, have you? Let me tell you, this unicorn is just a very common wild beast, not even a magical beast, it's quite weak. Although Ye Feng has never appeared before, anyone who can participate in the arena is definitely not an ordinary person, defeating a unicorn is no problem for him."

As expected, after listening to the boss's introduction, just as Ye Feng had thought, although Nader had agreed to his request and had indeed arranged a gladiatorial match, the one he arranged was a completely low-quality fight, which made Ye Feng very dissatisfied.

"How about it, brother? Want to buy some?" the shopkeeper said enthusiastically as he approached again.

"No need, a 2 to 1 odds is too boring." Ye Feng shook his head.

"Brother, I'm not trying to be mean, but the odds are only this high because Ye Feng hasn't appeared yet. For a fight against a unicorn, the odds are pretty high," the shopkeeper explained again. However, this only made Ye Feng more frustrated. It seemed the unicorn wasn't such a powerful monster after all. He needed to get Nader to choose a different fight.

Having made up his mind, Ye Feng left and turned to walk towards the arena, completely ignoring the disdainful look the enthusiastic shopkeeper gave him after he left.

"Tch, you're wasting my time if you're not going to buy anything," the shopkeeper said irritably. "But what exactly is this Ye Feng?"

"I'm sorry, the arena won't open until the afternoon, so you can't go in now." Ye Feng was stopped at the entrance, it seemed that it wasn't time to enter yet.

"I need to see Nader. Please inform him." Ye Feng was too lazy to waste words with these guys. He tossed each of them a purple gold coin. Right now, Ye Feng's mind was full of thoughts about the gladiatorial match.

As expected, the guard received the purple gold coin and his face immediately lit up with a smile. "Sir, please wait a moment, I'll go and inform them right away."

Ye Feng didn't have to wait long. Nader quickly arrived at the entrance to greet him. "Brother Ye Feng, why are you here so early? Haha, there's still some time before the gladiatorial combat starts." Nader led Ye Feng into the arena, saying as they walked.

Only then could Ye Feng truly see the situation inside the arena. The arena was not much different from a football field, with the same stands and a wide open space below. The only difference was that all sorts of ferocious-looking beasts were imprisoned inside the walls surrounding the open space.

"This is the arena. Do you see those guys? Some of them are extremely powerful. If it weren't for that special iron cage reinforced with spiritual energy, it wouldn't be able to hold them at all." Nader explained the situation to Ye Feng. "Look, that one-eyed behemoth. That guy has almost the strength of a Spirit Martial Artist. Many martial artists with decent strength have already died at its hands."

"Oh, not bad, Nader, arrange for me to fight that one-eyed beast today," Ye Feng suddenly said.
