"Really?"

"of course it's true!"

"Then please lend me your head."

"What--ah!" The manager was stunned, but he never expected that he would see his body spurting blood in the next second.

Huck picked up his head and put it into a box beside him with disgust, then wiped his hands with a silk scarf.

The box was originally used to hold Li Cheng's head.

But now, it can only be used to pretend to be this subordinate.

It is a foregone conclusion that Li Cheng will win the ten consecutive battles. Huck will not beg for mercy or ask for his forgiveness, nor will he poison or do anything else to assassinate Li Cheng or Hughes Dahl.

Either way, it's clownish.

And, there was no effect.

The only useful way was to put the blame on his subordinates and tell the Brotherhood that it was this guy who did not investigate the strength of Li Cheng and Seuss Dahl clearly, which led to his wrong judgment.

Then he fully supported the Brotherhood's actions, gave a large amount of money, and cooperated with the Brotherhood to deal with Li Cheng and Seuss Dahl.

Or cooperate with Li Cheng and others to deal with the Brotherhood.

In short, this was the backup plan that Huck had prepared long ago.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of your wife and daughter. Just wait downstairs."

Hake stroked his men's eyelids and let out a sigh.

When he thought about the fact that, as the director of the arena, he would have to present the award to Li Cheng, he felt nauseous as if he had eaten ten thousand flies.

You make my money, kill my people, and now you want me to present the award to you in person?

king?

Li Cheng is a shitty king. I am the one who manages and runs this arena!

You are just like that hands-off boss, both of you are bastards who covet my property.

This arena is mine, mine!

Wiping his bloody hands, Huck walked down the platform.

……

20 minutes later, the simple podium was set up.

The people of Storm King City love fighting and don't care about red tape, so everything is kept simple.

Although the podium was not luxurious, the audience's cheers were louder and louder.

Huck personally held the championship baton that symbolized glory and walked towards Li Cheng.

Looking at the new king whose blood had not yet dried, Huck felt as if there were a few more flies in his mouth.

Not only did you win my money, but you also took away the most important artifact in the arena...

Fortunately, Huck has been able to maintain his former elegance thanks to his years of cunning.

That’s right, Li Cheng is just a border man and doesn’t know anything about Storm City.

He is not sure that the Dark Brotherhood was sent by me, so he should have no hostility towards me. As long as I act decisively and put the blame on the Brotherhood, the two parties will fight each other.

It's not over yet.

What I need to do now is to maintain my image as a good guy.

While thinking this, Hake walked up to Li Cheng, raised the [Champion's Stick], and said humbly:

"I never thought that I would be able to witness the birth of a new king during my term of office. Lord Li Cheng, from today on, these weapons and this arena are all yours!"

Li Cheng took the stick, nodded, and said softly: "Mr. Harker, how are you going to deal with the Dark Brotherhood?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" The fake smile on Huck's face suddenly froze.

Li Cheng's mouth corners slowly lifted up, revealing a sunny and cheerful smile: "Guess who told the Dark Brotherhood that you were the mastermind behind this?"

"What did you say..." Huck's body trembled suddenly, and he figured out everything: "Wait, it's you! It's Seuss Dahl! You did all this!"

"You did it on purpose!"

Chapter 31 Liuli didn't realize she had done something wrong

Looking at Li Cheng's sunny smiling face, Huck felt as if the flies in his mouth had turned into poisonous snakes, drilling into his throat and gnawing at his internal organs.

Damn it, it turned out that this bastard was the one who told the secret!

This bastard not only killed the Dark Brotherhood assassin, but also put the blame on himself!

No, come to think of it, that bastard Hughes Dahl showed up in the casino on purpose.

This guy has been stinging from the beginning!

At the same time, Huck was also shocked.

It's not like he hadn't thought about the fact that all of this was manipulated by Hughes Dahl, but the problem was that he had investigated Hughes Dahl's background.

Just a country bumpkin from the border.

You know, even Hake only established contact with this secret organization after he had settled in Storm King City for many years.

Seuss Dahl has just arrived here. How did he find the contact information of the Dark Brotherhood?

"Haha, why are you silent, Director Hake? You haven't answered me yet. How are you going to deal with the Dark Brotherhood?"

Li Cheng still maintains a sunny smile.

You TM... Huck was so angry that his teeth were itching and his eyes were bloodshot.

"I remind you, it's best not to insult me ​​in the arena, otherwise, you will be in trouble."

"Huh..." Hake swallowed the curse that was about to come out of his mouth. He forced out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Haha, Master Li Cheng, what are you talking about the Dark Brotherhood? I don't understand anything."

"But I just punished a disobedient subordinate. Perhaps the misunderstanding between us was caused by him."

Hake intends to ignore the facts and forcefully pass the buck.

"There is no misunderstanding between us. From the moment you wanted to attack me, it's been a fight to the death." Li Cheng maintained a sunny smile.

"You..." Huck's face looked as ugly as if he was constipated.

Now, not only the Dark Brotherhood is going to kill him, but Li Cheng is going to kill him too.

There was no chance of his survival.

Huck felt extremely regretful. Why could he not think straight and provoke these two?

"Okay, let's continue with the award ceremony. The audience is watching." Li Cheng patted Huck's shoulder and took the initiative to stand next to him, greeting the audience while smiling.

Huck smiled stiffly. It was a sunny day in August, but he was covered in cold sweat and his hands and feet were as cold as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

He could hear the subtext in Li Cheng's words - the moment the award ceremony ended would be the moment of his death.

The noise in his ears was getting farther and farther away from him, and the revolving lantern of his life appeared before his eyes.

He had been walking on thin ice all his life, but unexpectedly, he still didn't make it to the other side.

Regret, unwillingness and other emotions surged in his heart, and Huck actually burst into tears.

"Wow, Director Hake was so moved that he cried!"

"These must be tears offered in celebration of the birth of the new king!"

"Manager Hake is such a passionate person!"

"Thank you, Director Hake!"

The audience's applause completed the final blow. Huck staggered, his brain felt dizzy, and even his pants were wet.

Just then, the sound of crisp footsteps suddenly rang out.

The momentum was like a hurricane sweeping across the earth, engulfing the entire arena. The cheering spectators stopped and unconsciously turned their heads to make way.

The Hurricane Dragon Liuli, dressed in aristocratic robes, was walking towards them step by step.

Her long blue hair flowed from behind her ears to her waist like a waterfall. Strands of purple hair mixed in the waterfall, like stars in the Milky Way.

A pair of sapphire eyes were filled with the majesty that only a superior could have. The slightly pursed lips and the high nose bridge made him look so dignified and majestic that just a glance at him would make people want to kneel down and worship him.

Her height of nearly 10 meters, her sky-high heels that were over cm high, and her elegant and luxurious dress added a final touch of dominance to her majesty.

Your Majesty, the Queen—

At the same time, almost everyone in the arena couldn't help but think of this word.

"Old, boss!"

Huck smiled as if he had survived a disaster, like a drowning man who had grabbed hold of a straw.

The tears were thicker than before.

He has been following his boss, helping her deal with matters at the arena for many years.

Although I don’t know the boss’s real name, I also don’t know her true identity.

But Huck knew one thing - no superior would allow a second king to appear in his territory.

This means not only a redistribution of benefits, but also a provocation to power and prestige.

Now, Li Cheng is the challenger.

There's something good to watch!

Huck thought so.

He quickly ran to Liuli's side, hunched over humbly, and smiled flatteringly: "Boss, you are finally back. Li Cheng passed the challenge. According to the motto left by Master Zhan Kuang, he should become the new king."

He deliberately emphasized the word "new king".

"Yeah." Liuli nodded: "What do you think, Huck?"

Hearing this, Huck's face lit up with joy.
