Cruze glanced silently at the tattered monster armor, then took the baseball bat from Sora.
"Why! I'm being laughed at even though I've worked so hard!"
"Those people are just watching the show. How could anyone possibly beat such a huge creature!"
"Why! I'm not by my wife and children's side... I can't even see them one last time..."
One blow after another, from initial silence to later hysteria.
The man from the lower-class area vented all his grievances and pressures at once.
The monster's armor was no longer recognizable; it had turned into a pile of ice crystal fragments.
"Don't you want to see how the children you've helped are doing?"
Zhou Xingxing gave Cruze a suggestion: there are still many homeless children in the lower districts. Although there is no orphanage in Rocky Town, Natasha has Hook and the others help deliver supplies, so they can manage.
"Now that you mention it, I was so focused on making the donation that I didn't really pay attention to what happened afterward."
Cruze nodded. After venting his frustrations, the gloom in his heart dissipated considerably. Although he still hadn't found a reason to continue existing, he was at least much better off than before.
"Thank you."
Kruze seemed to be in much better spirits and handed the bat back to Qiong.
"Finished having fun? Now it's time to help me out."
Qiong put away her bat and said to Cruze.
"Um... what can I help you with? I'll definitely help if I can."
Kruze really didn't expect Qiong to say something like that, and couldn't help but scratch the back of his head and ask.
"This isn't the place to talk, let's go somewhere else."
Dan Heng looked around. There were too many people around, and it wasn't a good place to talk about such private matters.
So the three of them took Cruze away from the fight club and went to Natasha's clinic.
"Kruze, you still know to come. You've already missed two courses of treatment."
In the clinic, Natasha was somewhat surprised to see Cruze with Zhou Xingxing and the others, thinking that he wouldn't be coming.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Natasha. I originally thought that since these are all old ailments of mine, I wouldn't waste the money."
Cruze gave an awkward smile.
"Instead of wasting the money, why don't you buy supplies and anonymously donate them to me?"
Natasha shook her head helplessly; she had naturally heard about this from Xing herself.
Although I don't know why Xing knew, she certainly didn't miss anything.
"Oh? Doctor, you found out too."
Kruze was a little embarrassed. He had always thought he had kept his actions quite secret, but he hadn't expected that he had been discovered so early.
"If Di Huo really wants to know, do you think you can hide it from me?"
Natasha chuckled, but she had never actually thought of investigating who donated the money; that wouldn't be appropriate.
"That's true. So why did you all call me here? It's not to have me continue to treat this old ailment of mine, is it?"
Kruze looked at the group and asked.
"You're a seasoned boxer, you must know quite a few boxers, right?" Zhou Xingxing asked.
"Well, not many, but there are a few we get along with quite well."
"That's good. Go treat your friends to a meal, and then just say that..."
Zhou Xingxing shared part of his plan with Cruze.
What I want to do now is to spread the news that the upper and lower zones have reopened, but of course not to spread the news of the start of the war, but rather through rumors among the boxers.
He suggested that Kruze treat a few boxers to dinner, using his bad mood after his loss to spread the word.
Of course, given that the upper and lower levels have been sealed off for so many years, it's unlikely anyone would believe such news if it suddenly came out.
However, if Natasha is offering free treatment, some people will inevitably wonder where these medical supplies come from, given the previous shortage of medical supplies in the lower districts.
This would greatly increase the credibility of this so-called 'rumor'.
"You're saying the upper and lower levels are going to reopen?! How is that possible?!"
Cruze looked on incredulously when he heard the news.
"you do not believe?"
Stephen Chow smiled.
"Although I really want to believe it, but..."
Before Kruze could finish speaking, Natasha also spoke up.
"So now I'm saying what they said is true, and the lower district is indeed about to restore contact with the upper district. Do you believe me now?"
"I...I'm starting to believe it, but I'm not sure."
When Kruze heard Natasha say the same thing, he immediately felt that the credibility of the statement had increased considerably.
"Haha, I heard you're planning something big. Looks like I've come at the right time."
A hearty laugh came from outside the door. Everyone turned their heads to look and saw Oleg walking in at some point.
"That's right, communication between the upper and lower levels will be restored soon, can you believe it now?"
When Kruze saw that even Oleg, the leader of the Earth Fire, said so, he no longer had any doubts and was overjoyed.
Putting everything else aside, if the upper and lower levels re-establish contact, then at least he can go home to visit and mourn his wife and children who have been missing for so long.
With this in mind, Cruze had a new goal in mind.
Seeing Cruze's appearance, Stephen Chow couldn't help but nod.
The saying "three men can make a tiger" applies here; if many people say it, it spreads from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and even a false statement can become the truth.
That's exactly the effect I wanted.
Chapter 63 Digging a hole
"Kruze, you're so kind of guy, you actually treated us to a meal."
In front of a snack shop in Panyan Town, several burly men were eating, drinking, and chatting happily at a table.
"Kruze must have made a lot of money wearing the monster armor. He was really popular before."
"When will I be able to borrow that monster armor to wear? Haha."
"What a pity, we were unlucky to run into the five-time champion. Who the hell can beat that guy?"
As they talked, the group began to speak up for Cruze.
After a few more drinks, Cruze stopped dawdling.
"To be honest, guys, I'm not going to work for Scott anymore."
Upon hearing this, the others were all taken aback.
"What do you mean by that? You're not going to be a boxer, are you going to become a miner?"
One of them asked in confusion.
"Hmph, if I keep fighting with Scott, I'm going to lose my life."
Cruze snorted and slammed the cup in his hand onto the table.
Then, Kruze revealed that the monster armor could corrode a person's body.
"And that old man is planning to make me find new monster armor, or else he'll lower my base salary even lower than before."
"Damn it, that old bastard is a real piece of work."
The group was enraged and began to hurl insults and curses at Scott.
"But it doesn't matter, I've found a better way out."
Cruze suddenly smiled and said to the group.
"What are some good career options? Can you recommend some to the brothers?"
"Upper area".
"The upper level!?"
The group was shocked. They knew that the upper district had been sealed off for many years. Although the connecting passages within Rocky Town were still there, they had all been locked by the Silver Mane Iron Guards, making it impossible to go up.
"Cruze, are you going crazy missing home?"
The group knew that Cruze's home was in the upper district, but they were unaware that Cruze's wife and children had long since disappeared.
“I’m serious, I heard it from Dr. Natasha.”
Kruze, however, spoke to the group with a serious expression.
"Dr. Natasha? Did she really say that?"
The group asked in surprise, after all, Natasha was the only doctor in the lower district and was very popular.
"That's right, and do you know who she was talking to about this at the time?"
"Who?"
"Oleg!"
"What the hell!?"
"The leader of the Earth Fire said that? That's quite credible..."
The group was all in an uproar; this was earth-shattering news for the lower district.
If the upper and lower levels are reopened, the entire lower level will undergo a complete transformation, making it understandable that Kluze would leave the club.
"It's not just high, haven't you noticed that the members of Earthfire haven't been going out much lately? They're probably conserving their energy to prepare for something big."
"Now that you mention it, it's true..."
"If the upper and lower levels are connected, Scott's club is definitely doomed!"
