Demigod Mage in America

As soon as he opened the door, Renn was greeted by a noisy scene.

He had assumed this was a high-end hotel, a place for rich people to have fun, and that boxing was done elsewhere.

Unexpectedly, it was hidden behind an inconspicuous room. Before Yuki opened it, he thought it was an ordinary dining area.

But behind it was a spacious area, which looked like a replica of the Roman Colosseum, with a huge octagonal cage in the very center of the rows of seats.

Inside the octagonal cage, a man is fighting for his life against a lion.

The man was dressed in military uniform and had a burly build, but his opponent was a cougar.

A super hunter similar in size to a leopard, possessing sharp teeth and claws, excellent balance, and the ability to jump.

If humans had weapons, they could naturally fight against such beasts, but the uniformed man in the octagon was unarmed.

"What is this?" Renn looked at Xue Ji beside him, who still had that expressionless look on her face.

"Here, you can earn a generous prize just by participating in one competition, and each win can double your winnings."

"Double?"

"Yes, as long as you keep winning, the prize money will keep increasing."

"What else besides the bonus?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Ji glanced at Renn with her narrow, slightly upturned eyes, her gaze icy and her tone flat: "Here you can get everything: status, wealth, a partner, property, a job, even your children's eligibility to attend school."

She paused, looking at Ryan as if he were an object, a commodity that could be sold at any time: "As long as you keep winning."

Raine nodded without saying anything. What Xueji didn't notice was the fleeting displeasure in the depths of his eyes.

"No wonder business at the firm was so bad; it turns out they've all ended up here."

Ryan sensed something was wrong. His firm, if not every day, should at least have one case every month, right?

In reality, he sometimes doesn't see a single customer for a whole month.

All the emotions are gathered in this underground boxing match. Rein's eyes swept across the scene, and he found that there were elites who were neatly dressed but flushed, as well as lower-class people who were dressed in rags but had no expression.

The elderly white man in a suit cheered loudly.

Wearing a large gold chain, dressed in a hip-hop style, he is a Latino.

There was also a black humanoid creature holding a woman and playing with her on the spot.

"See that row on the far right?" Yuki pointed in a direction, and Rein looked in the direction she was pointing.

"That's the Director of the Office of Education, and next to him is the Deputy Minister of Urban Development (HUD), the Minister of Transport... the Minister of Energy..." she uttered one name after another.

Upon hearing this, Rein nodded, then suddenly asked, "Miss Yukihime, aren't you afraid I'm an undercover police officer?"

From the moment she arrived until now, Yuki hadn't asked him about his identity, and she wasn't worried at all that he might be an undercover police officer.

"Don't be afraid, there are things in your eyes that others don't have."

"Oh? What?"

"greedy."

Greed? Upon hearing this, Renn smiled slightly. Greed? He was indeed quite greedy.

However, his greed might be different from what this young lady was thinking.

After all, what he's thinking about now is more than just that bonus.

Can a place exist where people can get what they want? Yes.

But only he can control it, and he can set the rules.

While the two were talking, the man in military uniform in the octagon was already panting heavily.

"Where did these people come from? How dare they risk their lives?"

Ryan initially viewed this underground boxing match as something illegal, but now it seems to be much more than that.

After all, while fighting in underground boxing matches carries the risk of death, that's still a risk. This is pure recklessness, which is completely different.

"They were criminals to begin with, and this is actually giving them a chance." Yuki led Raine along the last row of seats: "Like this guy, he was originally a member of the Japanese garrison, but because he was drunk, he used a sniper rifle to shoot at a gas station, which killed more than 30 people. In the end, he was sent to a military court and sentenced to death."

As Xueji spoke, Renn keenly noticed a hint of disgust in her tone.

Oh? He was actually taken to a military court? And sentenced to death? Raine looked at the man in the octagon.

In his memory, wasn't this thing just sent back to China and that was it? Normally, it would be handled with care, so why would it be a death sentence?

Although the death penalty has not been completely abolished in the United States, it is practically the same as abolishing it, with many states imposing a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

Oh no, that's not quite right. In the United States, death sentences are usually carried out on the spot, without going to court.

"This is it. If your friend wants to participate, they can register here."

Ryan turned his head, indicating that Number One could go and sign up, while he himself put his hands in his pockets and watched the man in military uniform pin the cougar down.

When humans fight wild beasts, they must be careful of the beasts' claws and teeth, as these are their fatal weaknesses.

However, if the size difference is not too great, humans have a foolproof technique against wild beasts: the lock-and-lock technique.

As long as their necks can be restrained, most wild animals can only be strangled to death by humans.

The words "Win!" flashing on the big screen, along with the image of a man covered in blood, sent the entire audience into a frenzy.

boring.

Ryan curled his lip; the thrills these people were looking for were too boring.

Just as registration was taking place, Raine watched Yuki leave and followed her closely.

The two walked through rows of seats and came to a cordoned-off area.

The door is marked "No Trespassing" and uses privacy glass, so people outside can't see inside at all. Getting in and out is all done through the door.

People around them frequently turned their gazes in this direction, their eyes filled with undisguised envy and longing.

Yuki opened the door, but just as she was about to close it, she found it blocked.

"Hmm?" She turned around, a hint of surprise flashing across her fair and aloof face.

Because Renn was following behind him.

"Why did you follow me here?"

"What else?"

Renn was also baffled. The woman had left without a word, and he wondered if she was crazy. She had promised to lead the way, but then ran off halfway through.

David, standing behind him, couldn't help but smile; the boss was at it again.

While Yuki was still in a daze, Raine had already squeezed past her and entered the room.

The room's decor was even more sophisticated than the exterior, with smooth marble and a crystal chandelier on the ceiling that reflected Renn's image when he looked down.

"This place is nice, isn't it?" Renn walked in on his own, completely ignoring Xue Ji's angry expression, and even looked at David beside him: "Please sit down, don't be shy."

David waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he sits all day and that standing for a while is good for his body.

Are you kidding me? You think I'm stupid for just sitting down when the boss tells me to?

David walked up behind Ryan and stood ramrod straight, looking like he was hired by Ryan from some security company.

Yukihime's hand was instinctively on her waist, but then she remembered that both of her swords were broken. Her gaze darkened, but she happened to catch a glimpse of the LCD screen on top of the octagonal cage.

It was showing two matches. The first match was with the other contestants, and then it was with contestant number one and its opponent, a male mastiff from Outer Mongolia.

She changed the subject: "Your friend is about to go on stage, aren't you worried about it?"

Upon hearing this, Raine gave a dismissive smile: "No need."

If one punch doesn't kill, then it's a blowout.
