Reaching out, Li Cheng grabbed the rocket in front of him and threw it directly into the gap. He then took a big step forward with tide and jumped onto a nearby two-story building, where they were able to see the two sides in the gunfight.

A group of Black men stubbornly resisting from their house, and a group of special police officers in bulletproof vests, both sides used their respective terrain advantages to engage in continuous firefights.

Although I had heard that the Freedom Alliance had a relatively open attitude in this regard, I was just too lucky to encounter a scene of intense gunfight between the police and criminals on my very first day here.

Without much thought, Li Cheng prepared to leave, but at this moment, one of the police officers in the battle seemed to see that he could not advance the battle line. He threw away his gun, leaped into the air, and with a roar, a violent shockwave directly knocked over the black men who were frantically firing.

Immediately afterwards, Li Cheng noticed a figure rushing into the ranks of the black men.

"Team leader?"

That sharp figure was all too familiar. Li Cheng immediately recognized Ryougi Shiki, the one who had swiftly and decisively struck down the group of black men. In less than half a minute, she had taken down more than twenty armed men. Li Cheng noticed that she hadn't killed anyone; she had merely severed their tendons, rendering them unable to stand.

In other words, have you discovered any new clues?

Knowing full well that Ryougi Shiki travels around every year to investigate a certain case, Li Cheng quickly deduced that one of these black men must know clues about Shiki's family bloodshed, which is why she traveled all the way here to participate in the attack organized by the local special police.

Should we say hello to them?

After a moment's thought, Li Cheng abandoned the idea and disappeared silently from the rooftop.

The team leader has her own pursuits, and I have my own investigations. With Kiritsugu Emiya able to provide remote support at any time, there is no need to involve more people.

After all, although the team leader has a cold personality, she actually cherishes her team members. If she finds out why Li Cheng came to the Freedom Alliance, it will definitely distract her from investigating the murderer.

As if sensing something, Shiki, who had already sheathed her blade, looked up in confusion at the empty rooftop not far away.

Was anyone there just now?

An hour later, Li Cheng stood in front of a door carved with lion head patterns.

"It's a difference of more than 30 kilometers, which is a real waste of time."

Talking to himself, Li Cheng knocked on the door, while tide, who was standing to the side, took a bite of her ice cream with a happy look on her face and made a "mmm" sound.

thump, thump, thump—

After knocking three times, Li Cheng didn't have to wait long before the door slowly opened. Facing them was a downward staircase, ending in complete darkness; nothing could be seen inside. However, Li Cheng wasn't afraid and pulled Xi down the stairs.

"Kurt welcomes you, Mr. Li Cheng."

A thin man with some tattoos on his face stood at the bottom of the steps, smiling as he watched Li Cheng slowly walk down.

"Are Tie Feng's things kept with you?"

Li Cheng looked at the other person and asked directly.

"Of course, Kurt is very responsible when it comes to protecting his customers' goods, which is a basic quality of Kurt in doing business."

As the man who called himself Kurt spoke, he snapped his fingers, and a stone pillar slowly rose from the smooth ground, gradually becoming transparent and revealing the heavy box inside.

So you've got it now?

Li Cheng hesitated for a moment before reaching out his hand, but a tall man blocked his way.

"As Kurt said, Kurt is a conscientious businessman. However, the customer who stored the item with Kurt is not a trustworthy customer. The fee he paid was only enough for Kurt to store the item until a month ago. In other words, Mr. Li Cheng, you need to pay the storage fee for this month, which is a total of 15 US dollars."

With a professional smile, Kurt walked up to Li Cheng and spoke in a gentle tone.

"I don't recall any storage service that costs that much per month."

Li Cheng narrowed his eyes, preparing for battle.

“Of course. In fact, the normal storage fee is only three thousand dollars a month, and the penalty for breach of contract and extension is only twice the storage fee,” Kurt continued with his formulaic smile. “However, because of the things that your friend Mr. Li Cheng was storing, Kurt has suffered heavy losses this month.”

As he spoke, several more men emerged from the shadows. From their composed demeanor, Li Cheng was surprised to discover that these men were all highly skilled fighters, each posing a subtle threat to him. However, upon closer inspection, almost all of them bore some kind of scar, one even missing a hand, leaving him with only one arm.

"Many people want your friend's things, Mr. Li Cheng."

Kurt's voice drew Li Cheng's attention back.

"Kurt has kept this item well hidden, ensuring no one finds it, but Mr. Li Cheng, we've paid a heavy price for this protection. Those thieves and robbers don't reason with us. Or do you think it's only fair that we pay such a price for your friend's belongings without paying enough?"

"This……"

I initially thought they were just trying to rob me, but why are they suddenly acting like victims and trying to reason with me?!

"If you don't believe me, we have written documents and video recordings of Mr. Tie Feng signing the agreement here. If you still don't believe me, you can find a trustworthy psychic magician or psychic to hypnotize and interrogate Kurt about his memories. Kurt doesn't want to be seen as an ungrateful robber. Kurt is just a businessman. And now, if Mr. Li Cheng wants to take this goods away, he must pay for the additional losses caused by Mr. Tie Feng's breach of contract."

If the other party really intended to extort money from him, Li Cheng was not afraid of the enemies in the room at all. However, the fact that they were presenting the facts and making such a gesture made things a bit difficult for Li Cheng.

After receiving the documents signed by Tie Feng and confirming their authenticity, Li Cheng activated the "Boundary Between Lies and Truth" and inquired again about the actual situation with Kurt. Ultimately, Li Cheng confirmed that the custodian had indeed diligently protected what Tie Feng had entrusted to him despite not receiving sufficient funds, even at the cost of injuring several heavily hired guards.

“I understand your demands. Indeed, in this situation, I should pay sufficient liquidated damages and medical expenses.”

After confirming the facts, Li Cheng spoke very frankly.

“But I don’t have any money. I only brought $3 with me this time. I can’t raise the $15 you need.”

With a sincere expression, Li Cheng spoke earnestly to Kurt.

...Ten minutes later.

Having taken off his shirt, revealing his muscular physique, Li Cheng stood in a huge pit with a gloomy expression.

Outside the pit, countless spectators were shouting wildly, while inside the pit, the iron gate on the other side opened, and a burly man, more than two meters tall with bulging muscles all over his body, walked out with an intense fighting spirit on his face.

"Go for it, Cheng!"

Sitting in the VIP section, tide waved her arms earnestly to cheer on the team, then took a bite of the high-end pastry in her hand.

So why did I even bother participating in this underground boxing sport...?

"Because this is America's welcoming ceremony, Mr. Li Cheng, who has come from afar," Kurt said loudly from the top of the stands, holding the microphone, "Now, let's begin this magnificent battle!"

Amid cheers, the tall man in front roared and charged forward, each step shaking the ground.

Chapter 361: Fighting and Wolves

Amidst the cheers, the tall man charged forward with incredible speed, appearing instantly in front of Li Cheng and throwing a vicious punch straight at Li Cheng's face.

Reaching out, Li Cheng caught the opponent's fist. The immense force instantly shattered the ground around them. Unable to assess the opponent's strength, Li Cheng staggered and was then sent flying by the punch, crashing directly into the wall at the edge of the arena.

Such power! This guy is probably close to the peak physique of an A-level martial artist, right?

Before Li Cheng could react, his opponent was already upon him, delivering a vicious kick to Li Cheng's face, seemingly aiming to smash his skull open.

But the man's attack missed its mark. Li Cheng, who should have been too slow to react, stepped forward, closing the distance to the man's body and delivering a heavy headbutt, sending him flying backward. Immediately after, Li Cheng caught the man's momentum, grabbed his ankle, and spun him three times. The man screamed as he flew into the air, crashing into the ceiling before falling back to the ground.

Unfortunately, his reaction speed is far from top-notch; at this level, he poses no threat to himself.

The man had stood up again and charged forward with a roar, but in Li Cheng's eyes, the man's speed was too slow. He easily dodged the attack and kicked the man in the waist, sending him sprawling to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

In less than ten minutes, the man whose arms and legs had been broken and who had completely lost the ability to move was carried off the stage, while Li Cheng, who was still standing on the stage, received the cheers of countless spectators.

Although he himself was not happy about it at all, he just found it extremely noisy.

"Kurt, I've already won the game, is that enough?"

Looking at the thin man on the platform, Li Cheng spoke calmly. His voice was not loud, but he was sure that Kurt could hear him clearly.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Li Cheng, you owe $15, and the game you just played only gave you $1. To pay off your debt, you need to win 14 more games."

Are there going to be 14 more of these childish battles?

Li Cheng was starting to get a little tired of it.

"Cheng, keep it up! Cheng was so cool just now~"

Sitting on the other side of the platform, tide raised a milkshake and earnestly cheered.

Very well, then let's take care of the remaining 14 opponents.

The next moment, Li Cheng, now refreshed, clenched his fist and looked at his next opponent.

The opponent in the second match was a fat man weighing over 500 pounds who possessed the superpower to absorb impact and had a powerful physique. However, Li Cheng easily lifted the man's body and injured his internal organs and bones with his internal energy in a few moves, forcing him to be carried out of the arena.

The third opponent was a samurai who wielded a sword. Li Cheng took the sword blow head-on without getting hurt and then knocked unconscious with a punch.

The fourth opponent...

In less than two hours, Li Cheng defeated 14 opponents, rendering each challenger unable to move. And he accomplished all of this without even breaking a sweat.

The audience, growing increasingly enthusiastic as Li Cheng repeatedly and easily defeated his opponents, began loudly chanting the nicknames they had just come up with for him.

"The Bone Crusher!" "The Bone Crusher!" "The Bone Crusher!"

It seems that because they prefer to use the method of breaking the enemy's joints and bones to force them to lose their fighting ability, these viewers have begun to have some kind of misunderstanding.

As a man approaching thirty, Li Cheng had to admit that he felt quite embarrassed being called that by a group of spectators.

Couldn't you give me a nickname that's less cringeworthy?

At this moment, Kurt, who was on the platform, coughed twice and picked up the microphone on the table.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today our arena has witnessed the emergence of a new near-championship champion who has achieved a 14-fight winning streak. If all goes well, he will soon complete a 15-fight winning streak and become the new king of the arena. Let us shout his name, Bonebreaker!"

"The Bone Crusher!" "The Bone Crusher!" "The Bone Crusher!"

No, please don't shout like that! Please don't say such shameful things!

Li Cheng was already starting to regret his performance today. He should have known better than to fight so fiercely and instead dealt with his opponents more slowly.

"However, what stands in Mr. Bonebreaker's way, preventing him from becoming the king, is one last battle. And for this battle, we are honored to have invited a wandering boxer, the Brutality of the Forest, Wolfclaw. Let us welcome him, Wolfclaw!"

Wolf claws?

Amidst the increasingly excited cheers of the audience, a distant iron gate slowly opened, and a figure emerged from within.

He was a tall man, wearing only a vest and trousers, revealing his muscular arms with bulging veins. He had a thick beard and messy hair, but what was most striking was the look in his eyes, which was as chilling as that of a hungry wolf.

A man who has truly experienced brutal killing.

This was Li Cheng's first impression of the other person.
