"Brother Hu," the man with sunglasses looked at Chen Fan dazedly, then turned to Yang Hu and asked cautiously, "What, what the hell is going on?"
"Yeah, Brother Hu, why on earth are you issuing a life and death challenge?"
The people in the room, seeing this, all rushed out, trying to dissuade him.
"What’s going on?"
Yang Hu sneered, his eyes falling on Chen Fan, "It’s not me who wants to fight him to the death; it’s him who wants to fight me."
"What?"
The man with sunglasses and the others were dumbfounded, staring at Chen Fan like wooden dolls.
The gazes of the surrounding people also fell synchronously on Chen Fan, their expressions filled with disbelief.
Yang Hu’s voice rose,
"A few minutes ago, out of goodwill, I invited him into a private room, even offering him a thousand points as compensation, trying to build a connection with him. Who would have thought, this kid harbored ill intentions."
"Harbored ill intentions?"
"What intentions?"
The surroundings fell silent.
"What intentions?"
Yang Hu sneered, "He said he fought three matches but only earned ten thousand points, which was too little. To get more points, he wanted me to find a C-level Awakened to cooperate with him in a rigged fight."
"Find a C-level Awakened to rig a fight for him?"
"A rigged fight?"
Everyone looked at each other, utterly perplexed.
But Chen Fan already had a guess in his heart, his eyes narrowing slightly.
This guy, it seems, is planning to bite back at me to prevent me from revealing the truth.
As a confidant of the chairman of this association, everyone here naturally believes his words. Even if I speak with eloquence, no one will believe me.
Have to admit he’s quite ruthless!
Yang Hu gritted his teeth, "Because he’s new and his background is unclear, everyone would definitely bet most of their points on the other C-level Awakened."
"Could it be?" Someone reacted, exclaiming in surprise.
"Exactly!"
Yang Hu’s gaze locked onto Chen Fan, "This guy surnamed Li wanted me to have a word with the C-level Awakened on the stage, to have him deliberately throw the fight so he could win.
Because most people would bet their points on the opponent, he would bet on himself, just like before, and win tens of thousands of points."
"What!"
"Outrageous!"
Everyone, already resentful over losing a lot of points to Chen Fan, exploded in anger, wishing to tear Chen Fan apart on the spot.
"Li, how could you do this? You hid your strength in the first three matches and won so many points from us, and now you’re not satisfied and want to clean us out?"
"Li Ping, you have such a black heart!" Ren Xiancheng, who fought with Chen Fan before, ground his teeth, "Don’t you feel guilty doing this?"
"Guilty? If he knew guilt, he wouldn’t have come to Brother Hu with this plan. Brothers, we underestimated this newcomer. He isn’t a rookie; he’s a sly old fox!"
"Brother Hu, is it because you didn’t agree to him that..." The man with sunglasses thought of something and asked urgently.
"That’s right."
Yang Hu nodded, sighed, and said, "We’re all brothers in this association. Earning points isn’t easy. Some even died outside for a few hundred points without a whole body left. How could I do such a thing? So, I refused."
"What happened next?"
Someone asked.
After all, if refusing was all it took, how did things escalate to this point?
Who exactly proposed this life-and-death challenge?
"Later, he proposed it again and even threatened me, but I still refused, telling him that one must have a conscience and not go to extreme lengths just to earn points. Who knew he would fly into a rage and propose a life-and-death fight. Li," Yang Hu looked at Chen Fan, "If you’re a real man, dare admit it’s you who brought up the life-and-death challenge?"
Instantly, Chen Fan became the focus of everyone again.
All around, pairs of eyes burned with anger.
For an ordinary person, facing such a situation, they might turn pale and stammer, or blush and argue endlessly, but not Chen Fan.
He smiled, nodded, and said, "That’s right, I proposed the life-and-death challenge with you. So, do you dare or not?"
After all, it was too late to say anything now.
And looking at his practiced performance, possibly, I’m not the first he’s framed like this.
Perhaps, from the moment I refused him, he had already planned to slander me.
What he told me was a big secret; even I wouldn’t let someone not on my side hold such leverage over me without some backup plan, would I?
Upon hearing this, the people around became even more enraged.
"Li, you’re too rampant!"
"Rampant is too kind; he’s a despicable scoundrel!"
"Exactly! Didn’t you hear Brother Hu say? He gave him a thousand points, a thousand points! Let alone a thousand points, even ten points from Brother Hu would make me grateful beyond words. This guy, not only is he ungrateful but also wants to fight Brother Hu to the death. Is he even human?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"He’s a beast!"
"He thinks he’s invincible after winning three matches and doesn’t even respect Brother Hu."
"Indeed, Brother Hu is a C-level Awakened. He wants to fight Brother Hu to the death? Doesn’t he know his limits? Purely seeking his own doom!"
