Chapter 340 Reward & Trouble
Lin Lee glanced at his back, shook his head, and then glanced at both fighters in the arena, stood up, and walked toward the betting counter.
"How much do you want to bet? Before the match, the reward ratio is 1:500; in the middle, it's 1:250; at the end, it's 1:100; and finally, in the last ten seconds, it's 1:10." The staff spoke, looking at Lin Lee.
Lin Lee raised his brow and replied, putting his four purple crystals on the table, "I bet four purple crystals on the Iron Lord."
The staff was surprised looking at him and then nodded, created the token with a reward ratio of 1:500, wrote the winning amount of 2000 purple crystals, and passed the token.
Lin Lee took the token and walked toward his seat.
"Hoho, you have betted such a large amount; don't you know everything inside the arena is under the control of those above? They won't let you take such a large winning amount; Iron Lord will definitely lose."
Suddenly a person with wolf-shaped facial features passed by him and reminded him with a conceited laugh,
Lin Lee glanced at his back, shook his head, ignoring him, and sat down on his seat.
'Fate rules; even if you change destiny countless times, the result will be the same. Since my arrival, the fate of this arena has been under my control. That's why it's a famous saying: when fate is absent, destiny is considered a king.'
Lin Lee thought to himself, looking at the stage in the middle calmly,
On the other hand, inside the VIP room at the edge of the underground arena, a few figures were sitting on the chairs.
While looking at the main figure on the right side of the room with apparent anger on their faces,
"It's getting tougher to manage the underground arena now; those greedy guys above are eyeing it." One of the figures with a cut mark on his face and wolf ears above his head spoke angrily,
Another figure shook his head and glanced at the main figure and spoke,
"Lord Jin Guang, please do something about it. I also received a lot of harassing letters; they are now threatening my slave business and demanding more than fifty percent, which is simply impossible. Please, you are the face of all our businesses in this city."
The person sitting on the main seat is a middle-aged man with long golden hair and lion-like ears, with golden scales on his neck and shoulder.
After thinking for a while, he sighed and shook his head, suggesting with a solemn expression,
"You already know I can't do anything about it, although I am the lord of this city, but don't forget this land belongs to the beast empire. We half-beasts may appear to be noble in front of those mortal humans, but in the eyes of those true beasts, we are no different from mortal humans; we are just more trustworthy than humans because we have beast bloodlines in our veins."
Everyone fell silent hearing his words, and then the wolfman frowned and asked, "Then what should we do, let them suck our blood just like that?"
City lord Jin Guang thought for a while, and then he raised his head and said,
"I have a way to deal with such precedent; if the true beasts are pressuring us, then we will pressure those below us. How many villages are under our control? Also, I know you all have raised some bandit groups; I am planning to use them, although this plan may not work for long term, but it can borrow a few years time for us."
Everyone in the room fell silent, and then they raised their heads, glanced at the golden-haired, middle-aged man, and nodded one by one.
Jin Guang smiled, looking at everyone nodding their head, and then he started speaking about the plan.
On the other hand,
Lin Lee glanced at the two fighters fighting on the stage, and the crowd is cheering.
"Iron Lord, Iron Lord,"
"Golden snake, golden snake,"
"Both are high-level fighters; damn, this is a real fight of men. Those magicians and sword masters are just cowards."
Lin Lee raised his brow listening to the comments of the burly man beside him, then he glanced at the stage.
'Magicians and sword practitioners aren't cowards; it's just that they attack remotely, while fighters fight physically.'
Lin Lee thought to himself and then recalled the seven major realms of the seven upper continents.
Each continent has a different main occupation: magician, sword master, qi practitioner, beast master, fighter, elementalist, and spiritual master.
Each occupation has seven major realms, like sword apprentice, sword master, holy sword master, sword god, true sword god, sword god king, and sword god emperor.
"Just like that other profession has the same seven major realms, and my emotion path practice here is known as spiritual master and qi practitioners, which is the warrior path. I am at the third major realm of spiritual master and qi practitioners, the holy spirit master and holy qi practitioner. Anyway, I have decided to master all occupations."
Lin Lee muttered thoughtfully, looking at the stage. The iron lord is standing while his opponent is lying on the stage as the five-minute match limit is over.
He waited for a while and then stood up and walked toward the betting counter.
"Here, I have won the bet," Lin Lee spoke, looking at the staff on the other side of the counter.
Upon receiving his token, the staff's expression changed; he raised his head and glanced at Lin Lee with bright eyes, then he hesitated and said,
"Sir, please wait for a while; your winning amount is large; it will take a while to exchange it in a higher-level black crystal,"

After speaking, the staff raised his hand and gestured at the guard standing far away in front of the room door.
The guard appeared, and the staff started whispering in his ears. The guard glanced in the direction of Lin Lee deeply and then gestured in the direction of outside the arena.
"Sir, please don't cause trouble; you can leave the arena; you are not welcome here."
Instantly the guards spoke and wanted to push away the Lin Lee from the counter; others started looking at the scene with interest.
Lin Lee raised his brow, looking at the guard's hand progressing toward him, and spoke intriguingly,
"Are you sure you want to play shady with me and devour my reward? I know 200 black crystals are a lot, but you will lose more than that, and there is no regret medicine."
Guard and the staff's faces changed; other spectators standing around were shocked and started whispering in each other's ears.
"Don't lie, you have lost the bet. How dare you distort the truth and blame the arena? Even if you are markless, you won't get away if you cause trouble. Hurry up and throw him away."
The staff hurriedly stood up and spoke, looking at Lin Lee coldly; he didn't want Lin Lee to speak further and destroy the credibility of the underground arena.
"How dare he extort the arena?"
"Is he looking for death?"
The staff around were surprised and started whispering.
Suddenly the guard startled and came back to his senses and then patted Lin Lee's shoulder and said coldly, "Sir, I think you should leave now."
Lin Lee sighed, looking at the cold faces of the guard and the staff, and muttered, "Why do intelligent creatures think that they are more intelligent than others? Space strangulation."
Instantly the expression of the guard and the staff froze; even the spectators around him froze.
Suddenly everyone's face turned red and their veins bulged, as if high blood pressure was going to burst their veins.
'Power of rules, he is a god,' Instantly a thought flashed through everyone's mind, especially the staff's and guard's eyes, which widened in horror, looking at Lin Lee with regret flashing through their eyes.
Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!
Instantly the space strangled everyone, and along with the bursting noise, one by one, all of them turned into blood, rendering the walls and ground red, including those spectators; no one was spared.
"Ahhhhhh," Instantly a loud cry sounded, and other individuals in the area noticed the bloody scene near the counter.
Soon commotion spread around; everyone glanced at the neat and tidy Lin Lee standing in the middle of bloody ground and walls.
Instantly, a few guards from the surrounding area appeared in the hall; they were shocked looking at Lin Lee standing calmly near the betting hall and the bloody ground around.
"Who are you? Why are you causing trouble in our underground arena?"
Instantly, one of the guards moved toward him alertly and asked with a solemn expression,
Lin Lee glanced at him and shook his head, showing the token face in his hand toward the guard, and replied calmly,
"I don't want to cause trouble; I just wanted to get my money and leave. Who thought your underground arena would refuse to give me my reward?"
