"Nothing, I've heard of it, is it from Fight Club?"

"Yes, he is indeed a fighter who works at a fight club. Because fights are high-intensity, most of the fighters in the club have come to me for treatment, and Kruze is one of them."

Natasha nodded.

"Okay, then I'll go find him now."

"Okay, please."

Zhou Xingxing walked out of the clinic and put the medical records into his backpack.

This time, I won't help Scott find any monster armor.

However, sometimes man proposes, God disposes. Stephen Chow forgot that even if he didn't do it, someone else could.

When Stephen Chow arrived at the entrance of the Fight Club, Qiong was there too, and she was talking to Scott.

"The Monster Armor set only lasted for two days. The audience got tired of it and the hype has died down. You need to hurry up and get me another set, something different and cooler."

Scott had a smile on his face and kept urging Qiong on.

"Again? But I think Cruze's condition isn't good. Wearing this kind of thing can have a negative impact on health, so let's not do it."

Qiong shook her head, looking rather unwilling.

"If things are not going well, that's his own problem to worry about. Besides, he's happy to wear it. He wasn't very popular before, but after wearing the monster armor, his popularity has increased several times over. If his popularity drops, his salary will also have to be reduced. I only care whether he can bring revenue to my club. If he can't win fights, can't bring popularity, and can't make money, then he can only be eliminated and his contract terminated."

Scott shook his head as he spoke, as if this was as commonplace to him as eating and drinking.

"Besides, people are only interested in the name 'Monster Armor.' Who cares who's wearing it? If this one doesn't work, we'll just replace it with the next one. There are plenty of people in the lower district who rely on this for their livelihood."

"You're really treating people like dirt!"

Qiong was a little angry. She had only gone to find the armor with the intention of helping out casually, but she never expected that Scott would actually give the Rift Armor that she had found to someone else.

Seeing that Cruze's health was deteriorating, Qiong felt somewhat guilty, after all, she was partly responsible for the situation.

However, he had told Cruze several times not to wear it anymore, but Cruze always refused, saying that he was fine and insisted on playing.

This left Qiong feeling helpless, so she decided to talk to Scott.

Upon hearing Scott's words, Qiong realized that there was no way to discuss this matter.

"Whether they're considered human or not doesn't matter. In the lower-level areas, money is the most important thing. Besides, I didn't force them to sign contracts. They want to make money, so I'm giving them a chance, and they should be thanking me. If you don't want to help, then leave. Anyway, even if you don't look for them, this guy will find a set of things on his own."

Scott said in a sarcastic tone, and seeing that Qiong was not going to help anymore, he didn't bother to pay any more attention to her.

"What? You still want him to go find it himself? He'll die at the hands of those Rift creatures!"

"It wasn't me who sent him. He just wanted to make more money. Besides, whether he lives or dies is none of my business. If he comes back and continues to win, I'll pay him. If he doesn't come back, someone else will take his place. If you don't want him to die, go find someone for him."

The smile on Scott's face was like a mask; all that could be seen in his eyes was indifference.

"I'm afraid we won't help you find new armor; instead, we'll destroy that old suit of armor as well."

Stephen Chow walked over and spoke to Scott in an icy tone.

"what?"

Scott stared at Stephen Chow with that standard, insincere smile.

“I respect you as heroes of Panyan Town, and I have given you a generous reward. It would be unethical to do something like this, crossing the river and then burning the bridge.”

"You're talking to me about morality? Who cares about your money? If I had known you were using me to do this, I would never have helped you."

Qiong threw the Winter City Shield directly at Scott's face, showing how angry she was at being used.

"Hehe, fine, if you don't want to do it, then don't. You can destroy the monster armor if you want. Anyway, the popularity of this armor has already declined, and we need to find a new one. Someone will always do this for a higher base salary."

"You think you're a great philanthropist? You think they'll thank you? You help them, and they'll just curse you for blocking their path to wealth. You're just being self-righteous."

Scott shook his head nonchalantly, slowly picking up the scattered Winterfell shield from the ground as he spoke leisurely.

"you!"

Qiong was so angry she wanted to rush up and punch Scott Bangbang a couple of times, but Zhou Xingxing held her back.

“Let’s go. If you hit him, he won’t repent and will use it as an excuse to make trouble. Besides, we don’t have a legitimate reason.”

Zhou Xingxing shook his head while holding Qiong's hand.

"..."

Qiong knew she was in the wrong, and although she wanted to fight back, that would mean she was hitting someone without cause.

If Scott then uses this as an excuse to claim that the group saved Rocky Town and wants to interfere in its development and disrupt everyone's lives, then those people will become the target of everyone's anger.

After all, fight clubs involve the interests of too many people.

"Are we just going to keep watching those vampires harm other people and make money off their lives?"

On the way, Qiong became angrier and angrier, and finally couldn't hold back anymore.

The biggest problem is that I've been deceived. If Scott kills someone, wouldn't I become an accomplice?

"Don't rush. Beating him up won't solve the problem. To solve it, you have to address the root cause."

Zhou Xingxing comforted Qiong, who was jumping up and down in anger.

"How to say?"

"As long as no boxer is willing to work for Scott, the fight club will go out of business soon."

Qiong pondered for a moment, then shook her head.

"That's easy to say. There are at least dozens of fighters in this club, and they all make money from the fight club."

"The mineral vein has been opened, and the Earth Fire has recently started recruiting miners. The miners' wages are enough to support a normal family of three, but these people haven't gone. Why do you think that is?"

"Hmm...because they're short on money? Are there any extra expenses they need?"

Qiong thought about it seriously for a moment, and then said.

"The vast majority of the club's fighters are regulars at Natasha's club, whether for personal or family reasons, which forces them to stay. So, if we can resolve these issues..."

"They wouldn't have to risk their lives being trapped in fight clubs!"

Qiong understood; it was time to do good deeds and accumulate merit again.

"But that's not enough. Does the fight club have betting options?"

Zhou Xingxing asked Qiong, "Because in underground boxing rings like this, nobody would believe you if you said there was no gambling."

"Well, I was originally thinking of..."

"Stop! Don't touch it!"

Stephen Chow quickly lectured him, saying that gambling and drugs should be avoided at all.

"No, I just took a look, and besides, I didn't have the Winter City Shield back then~"

Qiong shrugged and stuck out her tongue.

"That's good. Scott makes money by betting, so let's go big and rip him off."

"Didn't you just say you wouldn't get involved in gambling or drugs?"

"If you place a bet, that's gambling; if you manipulate the market, then it's not gambling anymore."

"Good for you!"

Chapter 61 Bankruptcy Plan

Zhou Xingxing took Qiong back to Natasha's clinic.

"Sora's here too! How's it going? Did you see Cruze?"

Natasha asked the two of them.

"Let Qiong speak."

Zhou Xingxing gave Qiong a seat, and Qiong then recounted how Scott had used her to find the monster armor, and how Scott had eventually made Kruze wear the monster armor to make money.

"..."

Natasha didn't speak, but instead crossed her arms, closed her eyes, and pondered for a while before letting out a sigh.

“You did the right thing. It’s fortunate that you didn’t attack Scott, otherwise a large number of people would probably be hostile to you because of it. Even though you saved Rocky Town before, don’t be fooled by the polite words of some people. When you touch their interests, they will show their true colors.”

"So why do these heartless clubs that disregard human life continue to exist? Doesn't Di Huo do anything about it?"

Seeing Natasha say that, Qiong couldn't help but ask.

“In the lower zones, Earthfire has always played the role of protector, not manager. We have criticized Scott’s approach, but we cannot control him.”

Natasha shook her head, her eyes filled with disgust, but she remained rational.

"Moreover, although Scott is a despicable vampire, it is undeniable that many people do depend on him for survival. If we, Earthfire, were to forcibly intervene and close the club, do you know how many people would lose their jobs and how many families would lose their income?"

Qiong fell silent; she truly hadn't thought about it.

However, Stephen Chow had thought a lot about it. Once the star core disappeared and the ice and snow melted, there would be a lot of things for people to do.

But it's unlikely to melt naturally; we might have to rely on external forces.

"Don't worry about that. We're about to connect to the upper zone, aren't we? And we've found a new mineral vein. There'll be plenty of work to do after that."

"That's true... but it doesn't mean much to those boxers. Most of them have special family circumstances, which is why they go to Scott and trade their health for money."

Although the idea was good, Natasha knew those boxers well. It would be difficult for them, who were used to making quick money, to go back to a stable job and earn a salary.

"What if we help them resolve these special circumstances?"

Qiong was full of confidence. Although we don't have money, we have supplies and medical equipment.

Then, Qiong recounted her plan to bring down the club, demonstrating just how strong a woman's desire for revenge can be.

“If this can solve everyone’s resettlement problem, I would agree with the proposal. If it weren’t for the special circumstances in the lower districts, where we couldn’t deal with him, someone like Scott would have been punished long ago in the upper districts. If you are confident in doing this, I will do my best to assist you.”

Natasha nodded. To be honest, if she could resolve the fight club issue, her future work would be much easier.

At least no more people will be injured because of fight clubs.

"Very good, the iron fist of justice is about to smash Scott's nose hard."

When Qiong saw that Natasha had agreed, she happily pumped her fist.

"Well, I have a list here. Please inform those fighters that I will provide free and effective treatment for their families. Of course, you can't do all of this yourself. I will ask Luca to assist you. He often fights in the fight club and has a good reputation, but I'm afraid he won't be happy to hear this news."
