Strike First!

After Hilker and the others left, Ning Shi thought for a while and said to Amy.

"Tell the warriors who are hunting magical beasts outside to hurry back and bring me a map of Duohuang."

Seeing that her boss was really going to fight the Duohuang Chamber of Commerce, Amy was worried, but as a servant, she still carried out her boss' orders meticulously.

After a while, she came in with a beautiful parchment.

"Boss, I've sent someone to inform them. This is the most detailed map of Duohuang, with the details of the streets of Duohuang."

Ning Shi took the map and found that the street next to Blood Crime Street was Street No. 111, one of the most prosperous and wealthy streets in Duohuang.

The ruler of this street ran a business, a business that all the nobles of the continent would never forget.

The gladiator arena.

It was the only gladiator arena in Duohuang.

Duohuang's gladiator arena was very cruel. Gladiators were slaves or death convicts who came from all over the continent. They would fight in cages in the arena.

No matter how many people entered a cage, only one person could survive.

Such bloody gladiator activities were forbidden in the three empires. Only in Duohuang could they brazenly engage in such inhumane gladiatorial activities.

Whether it was out of curiosity or the abnormal desire rooted in their bloodlines, many nobles from the Moen Continent liked to secretly come to Street No. 111 of Duohuang to watch the cage fights.

These nobles came here to watch the fights. They ate, drank, gambled, and spent a lot of money.

Duohuang's gladiator arena could be said to be making gold every day and was a rich source of wealth. 

"Amy, the force behind Duohuang's gladiator arena is the Mixed-Blood Chamber of Commerce. What's the background of this chamber of commerce?"

Ning Shi was very confused. Such a profitable business as the gladiator arena was not run by the chambers of commerce of the three empires.

"The Mixed-Blood Chamber of Commerce was founded by His Highness Anjelo. No one dares to mess with him in Duohuang."

"Who is this Anjelo? Is He an invincible master?"

Amy shook her head and said, "His Highness Anjelo's background involved a royal scandal. Many people know about it, but usually, no one dares to say it in public."

"Thirty-three years ago, in the year 2754 of the Moen Calendar, the old King of the Brad Empire suddenly died. Four princes were fighting for the throne, and the situation in the country was deteriorating."

"The Ole Empire took this opportunity to launch an invasion war. In order to avoid the crisis of national subjugation, His Majesty Joerger, who was still the Second Prince at the time, personally went to the Elven Empire to lobby. He used some unknown method and signed an alliance agreement with the Elven Empire."

"With the help of the Elven Empire, Joerger became the new king and defeated the army of the Ole Empire."

Hearing Amy mention this matter and the name of the Mixed-Blood Chamber of Commerce, Ning Shi had a rough guess.

"Are you saying that Anjelo is the mixed-blood illegitimate child left behind by the union of the current King of the Brad Empire, Joerger, and the elves?"

Amy was, after all, a young woman. She was very excited when she talked about gossip, so she pretended to be mysterious.

"Not only that, Anjelo's mother is also not a simple figure. She is the Grand Elder of the Moon Elves, also known as the Scepter of the Moon, and is called Lord Silverdew."

"It's a pity that the elves are strictly forbidden from having children with humans. Anjelo's identity cannot be revealed, or else it would be a provocation to the entire elf race."

Ning Shi was speechless. No matter where, people liked to deceive themselves and others.

"The upper echelons of the elves definitely knew about Anjelo's matter. However, due to the fact that his parents were both important figures, they could only turn a blind eye to it, hoping that the matter would not be revealed."

"Then how did you know the secret of Anjelo's birth?"

"Ever since he was young, His Highness Anjelo was brought back to the imperial capital Lion City by His Majesty Joerger. Perhaps it was because of his love for Lord Silverdew, His Majesty Joerger doted on His Highness Anjelo."

"However, because he was raised outside the palace and was not educated properly, His Highness Anjelo developed a spoiled personality."

"In the imperial capital, he abused commoners, raped young girls, set people on fire, and committed all kinds of evil. Every time he did something bad, he would proudly publicize his birth. After a while, everyone knew about it."

"Emperor Joerger was worried about the Elven Empire's reaction, so he sent His Highness Anjelo to Duohuang. In the chaotic Duohuang, His Highness Anjelo was like a fish in water. He founded the Mixed-Blood Chamber of Commerce and ran the Duohuang gladiator arena."

Ning Shi was speechless. This Anjelo was also a weirdo. However, he had a strong background. He had the protection of the superpowers from two empires. In Duohuang, he also had the support of the Brad Bloodline Chamber of Commerce and the Forest Night Song Chamber of Commerce.

Also a half-elf, Bruce's ability and character far surpassed Anjelo, but he was a slave. Such comparisons were really infuriating.

Amy was a native of the Brad Empire. She had always used honorifics to address the King and Prince of the Empire. However, Ning Shi did not have a good impression of this Anjelo.

He was a heinous playboy who had come to Duohuang and started the bloody and abnormal gladiator arena. He was definitely a scumbag.

Ning Shi was very interested in the warriors in the gladiator arena. Those who could survive in the arena were all ruthless characters. His main storyline mission required him to contract another 1500 or so servants.

"How many gladiators are there in the Duohuang gladiator arena?"

"According to the information released by the gladiator arena, there are 755 gladiators who have experienced one round of fighting, 317 who survived the second round of fighting, 121 who survived the third round of fighting, and all the gladiators above the third round have their own titles. There are 19 titled gladiators."

Ning Shi nodded. There were more than 1200 gladiators in total. If he could take down the arena, he could contract more than 1200 powerful gladiators. Then he could contract some cannon fodder and have enough servants.

Amy understood Ning Shi's intention. She reminded him, "Boss, the gladiator arena is not easy to conquer.".

The first round of fighting in the arena was called chaotic cage. There were at least a dozen people in a cage. Those who survived were all masters who were one in a hundred."

"Not to mention those titled gladiators who survived several rounds. They are all very powerful."

"The bloodline contracts of these gladiators are in the hands of His Highness Anjelo. Their lives and deaths are controlled by Anjelo. If we want to conquer the gladiator arena, we have to fight these gladiators to the death. Even if we win, it won't be easy."

"And tomorrow..."

Amy wanted to say more, but Ning Shi interrupted her with a wave of his hand.

"You just have to provide me with information. I have my own plans for the rest. How is Anjelo's strength?"

Amy answered honestly, "He doesn't have much strength. It is said that he has a powerful personal guard by his side. It was sent to him by His Majesty, Joerger."

"Very good. When all the warriors who went out come back, tell them to be ready for battle. Ask Elon to come with me. I will meet this Anjelo at Street No. 111 first."

Since he had already fallen out with the Duohuang Chamber of Commerce, waiting for death was not Ning Shi's style. Everyone in China knew that it was better to strike first!

He had to first ambush Anjelo and take control of Street No. 111 to strengthen himself. 

According to the main storyline mission 1 and 2, Ning Shi guessed that the main storyline mission of the game system was to build a force and expand the territory. In the game, of course, he had to follow the main storyline mission.

As a player, if he died, he would only lose a bit of his spiritual power. There was nothing to be afraid of.

In order not to alert Anjelo, Ning Shi wore a beast head mask that was very common in Duohuang and walked to Street No. 111.

"Boss, it's him."

"Okay, Elon, go and inform the extreme battle group to rush to Street No. 111."

After walking around the street for more than two hours, they finally met Anjelo at Nightingale Tavern.

Mixed-blood had an advantage. Anjelo had an extremely handsome face. In comparison, the two female singers beside him with huge breasts and fat buttocks appeared somewhat mediocre.

Behind Anjelo, a thin middle-aged man followed him closely.

He had a thin sword on his left side. Judging from his body and weapon, he seemed to be an agile fighter.

"This is the guard Amy mentioned."

It was a pity that he had run out of insight techniques. Otherwise, he could have checked him out.

However, it was not a big deal. No matter how strong an expert was, he would be restricted in his movements if he had to protect a weakling like Anjelo. Moreover, this guard was probably as strong as Gru of the Blood Crime Mercenary Group.

A true expert would not be willing to be a guard for a useless young master.

"Look at the blade!"

Ning Shi deliberately shouted. The two-meter-long giant sword slashed at Anjelo at an extremely fast speed!

The sword was extremely fast, bringing with it a gust of wind that blew the tables and chairs in the tavern all over the place.

When the guard heard Ning Shi's shout, his expression changed. Seeing that Anjelo was about to be hacked to death, he did not have time to think. He raised his thin sword and wanted to block the meteoric heavy sword.

With a crack, the thin sword broke. The sword went forward and cut the guard in half.

It was less than 1 cm away from Anjelo's head.

The blade stopped.

Anjelo was completely shocked. He had been living under the protection of Joerger since he was born. Even though he had come to Duohuang, he had been taken care of by big forces and protected by guards.

He had never experienced any danger.

All of a sudden, his personal guard was cut in half. Fresh warm blood sprinkled on Anjelo's face.

"Please! Let me go! I'll give you anything you want. I have money, I have a lot of money, I'll give it to you!"

Anjelo knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. There was a pungent smell coming from his lower body. He was so scared that he peed himself.

What an idiot. If it wasn't for protecting him, this guard would still be able to deal with Ning Shi.

"Where is the bloodline contract for the gladiators? Hand them all to me."

Hearing Ning Shi's request, Anjelo was a little hesitant.

With a flick, the blade flashed and a finger left his palm.

"Ah! It hurts! Mother, come and save me! You can't kill me. My mother is the Grand Elder of the Moon Elves and my father is the King of the Brad Empire. Even if you kill me, you won't be able to escape."

Anjelo hugged his hand and rolled on the ground, crying and crying.

"Shut up, I'll say it one last time. Where is the bloodline contract? If you don't tell me, I'll kill you!"

Anjelo looked around in panic, as if he wanted to find a helper, but the people in the tavern had already run away.

He closed his eyes in fear and chanted a spell while trembling. A stack of contracts appeared in front of Ning Shi.

Ning Shi immediately saw the ring on Anjelo's middle finger. Having read all kinds of novels, a term immediately appeared in his mind.

Interspatial ring.

Ning Shi took off the ring and put it into his backpack. Although he didn't need it, it was a good gift for Lena.

"No, you can't steal my ring. This is a gift from my mother. Please return it to me. The ring is bound to my bloodline. It's useless for you to take it."

Seeing that Anjelo was still shouting, Ning Shi raised his knife and chopped off Anjelo's head.

Putting away the meteoric heavy sword, Ning Shi took the bloodline contract, took off his mask and walked out of Nightingale Tavern.

Elon moved very quickly. The warriors of the extreme battle group had already entered Street No. 111. After Ning Shi met them, a group of people marched toward the arena.
