Excessive ferocity due to caution

The sixth floor lobby.

A dozen or so people wearing animal masks sat in their seats, watching Zhao Yi, the victor who had fought his way up from the first floor.

An appreciation in the eyes.

But it's definitely not the kind of normal appreciation.

This appreciation is more of an owner's appreciation for their pet, as if they've been browsing in a pet store for a long time and suddenly encounter a little dog barking happily, wagging its tail and begging them to take it home.

At this moment, in the eyes of these people, Zhao Yi was just like that little dog.

"Congratulations on arriving here."

Chris was the first to speak.

He took off his black mask, revealing faint tear tracks on his face.

He downed the murky wine in front of him in one gulp.

Zhao Yi picked at his ear:

"It looks like you're Chris."

Chris smiled slightly:

"Yes."

"I sincerely thank you... for helping Xiao Ji fulfill her last wish."

Zhao Yi shrugged:

"There's no need to be so polite."

"Then... I want to know how I can leave here?"

Barbara coughed softly from a distance.

Chris said with a smile:

"See that?"

"Mr. Zhao Yi."

"I really want to let you leave here, but these adults won't allow it."

"If you want to get out, the only way is..."

"Kill them all!"

The four words resounded like thunder throughout the golden round hall!

Almost everyone thought they had misheard.

Chris just said... that he killed them?

"Chris... are you looking for death?!"

Someone stood up, angrily waving their sleeve.

These people are all of noble status, wealthy merchants from one side of the Chaotic Realm, and have some dealings with the Chaotic Realm Entertainment Company.

Therefore, they were the ones who officially received invitations from the entertainment company, rather than challengers like Zhao Yi who signed up.

Therefore, in every game, the person in charge of the game treated them with utmost respect.

Moreover, these people... are incredibly powerful.

The worst off among them was at least a half-step into the Great Ferocity realm.

At this moment, the hotel's energy suppressor was destroyed. Even if Zhao Yi and Chris were to fight, they would be no match for the adults present!

But... both Zhao Yi and Chris appeared very calm.

Chris looked at the enraged men, his smile growing increasingly maniacal.

He slowly opened his arms and said to the crowd:

"Welcome everyone to the final game—the final carnival!"

"The participants in this game are everyone on the sixth floor of the hotel!"

"The rules of the game are very simple: the two chosen will go to the arena for a fight to the death!"

"In the arena, everyone's power is limited to the same level, and no items can be used."

"The player who dies is declared the winner!"

"There is no time limit for the game."

"Once the game begins, players in the hotel who are not yet playing are prohibited from harming each other by any means; otherwise, they will be punished according to the rules!"

After Chris finished speaking, the hotel suddenly shook, and the center of the golden rotunda slowly separated, revealing a ring that actually rose up...

In the distance, a man wearing a white duck mask, holding a wine glass level in his hand, leisurely said:

"Chris... are you out of your mind?"

"We signed a contract with the entertainment company beforehand, and line seven clearly states that all invitees on the sixth floor of the hotel are protected by this contract and cannot participate in any games!"

Chris said calmly:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Thomas."

"The hotel contract I signed with you was established before the second floor was renovated."

"At that time, the floor we are on now... was the fifth floor."

Thomas was stunned upon hearing this.

He immediately stood up.

"You dare lie to me?!"

He attacked Chris in a fit of rage, flames roaring from his fingertips, and a phoenix seemed to leap out, pouncing towards Chris!

However, the next moment, a wisp of the will of the rules that only a great evil could possess descended and annihilated Thomas's fiery phoenix into nothingness!

Thomas himself suddenly knelt on the ground, his face pale, and he vomited a mouthful of blood!

Only after witnessing this scene did the others finally believe that what Chris said was true!

They... are already in the game!

The cold, mechanical sounds echoed throughout the hotel:

The game is divided into two teams, red and blue.

Chris chooses the Red Team.

Please have other players choose a side.

A projection screen descended from the hotel ceiling.

The Red Team only has Chris.

At this moment, the middle-aged man with a white beard wearing a wolf mask spoke:

"Gentlemen!"

"Although the arena limits our power, as long as we all choose Team Blue, even if each of us bites that damned little bastard Chris, he'll be dead!"

Others echoed this sentiment:

"That's right!"

"Tear this damned bastard to pieces!"

"Heh, a lowly person should have the awareness of a lowly person. Since you don't cherish it, then I'll send you to die with those stray dogs!"

Therefore, the vast majority of them chose the blue team without hesitation.

"Zhao Yi, join Team Blue, kill Chris, and then come back to our Green Bamboo Society. With your talent, you deserve a place here!"

The portly man in the goat mask, seeing that Zhao Yi had not yet made a choice, arrogantly extended an invitation to him.

That look was just like Aquaman, who wanted to have his cake and eat it too.

Zhao Yi was very grateful:

"Thank you, brother!"

Then he chose the red team.

"I have no way to repay your kindness, so I can only give you a few more punches in the ring later."

The man in the goat mask said sternly upon hearing this:

"Zhao Yi, don't push your luck!"

"You'll see what cruelty really is in a moment!"

Zhao Yi smiled but didn't say anything.

Di-

To everyone's surprise, the red team suddenly gained another member.

Everyone looked over and saw that it was Barbara, who was eager to try!

This crazy woman... actually went to the Red Team?

"Barbara, do you really want to die?"

The middle-aged man in the white-bearded wolf mask gave a cold laugh.

Barbara's body trembled slightly as she looked at Zhao Yi and said in a strange tone:

"My dearest pet... your owner will definitely protect you..."

Zhao Yi took a step back:

"Madam, please mind your manners. You're reminding me of the pigs I used to raise."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold, mechanical voice rang out:

[All players have made their selections; the first match is about to begin...]

[Round 1: Chris vs. Mosal]

[Please invite your two contestants to the stage...]

P.S.: The answer is a high-octane, action-packed fighting anime!
