Mengte De'er glanced at the spectator stands and turned, limping toward the iron cage's door where paramedics and staff were already waiting for him.

Clip-clop, clip-clop!

Footsteps sounded as Scar, accompanied by a young man in a tailcoat, approached, "Dragon King, this is the person in charge of the Beast Fighting Arena. He wants to speak with you personally."

Jiang Chen glanced at the young man and nodded towards Xuan Long, who understood and rose to sit next to Scar.

"Please, take a seat!" Jiang Chen gestured to the seat beside him.

The young man smiled slightly and after sitting down, extended his hand, "Hello, respected sir, I am Huo Huade. May I ask how to address you?"

"Boss of the Dragon Flame Mercenary Group, Dragon King," Jiang Chen shook hands with Huo Huade.

Kuang Shi looked surprised and turned his head towards Jiang Chen.

Huo Huade's expression was calm, and with a light smile he said, "Mr. Dragon King, Wild Bear is our Changlan Colosseum's top slave. If you wish to buy his freedom, the starting price would be ten million international currency.

With Wild Bear's combat record of twelve years, 176 consecutive victories, we add an additional one billion two hundred million, and one billion seven hundred sixty million, making a total of three billion and sixty million. I could waive the minor amount, so that would be three billion international currency in total!"

The exchange rate between international currency and Flaming Dragon Currency is one to six, meaning Jiang Chen would need to pay eighteen billion Flaming Dragon Currency to take Mengte De'er with him.

"That will do. I'll take him with me today," Jiang Chen nodded without hesitation.

Huo Huade paused for a moment, a curious smile tugging at his lips.

Kuang Shi's pupils contracted, and he nodded inwardly. Since Jiang Chen was willing to spend so much money to redeem Mengte De'er without hesitation, he likely wasn't doing it to threaten Mengda Ge'er. Not worth it!

"Alright, sir, please wait a moment," Huo Huade said, smiling as he gave some instructions and then stood up to leave.

Scar looked at Jiang Chen, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes. He bit his lip and whispered, "Dragon King, since you don't have much of a relationship with that Mengda Ge'er, why spend so much money for his brother? Is it worth it?"

"It's not about whether it's worth it or not. I view Mengda Ge'er as a respectable person. If I can help, I'll give a hand. It's not about worth. It's about feeling at ease in my heart," Jiang Chen spoke calmly.

Scar was momentarily taken aback, giving Jiang Chen a profound look, his eyes revealing a complicated expression.

With a light chuckle, Xuan Long said, "Scar, Dragon King is different from other bosses. Following him, you won't feel like a money-making machine because, as long as we don't betray him, Dragon King will treat each of us as his best brothers."

Scar nodded silently, lapsing into contemplation, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

Kuang Shi cast another glance at Jiang Chen, his eyes showing admiration this time.

"Kid, what do you want to talk about?" Kuang Shi said softly.

Jiang Chen looked at Kuang Shi, and with a light laugh, replied, "I wanted to ask Mr. Kuang Shi why the Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps would give up the siege on Dark Spider."

Kuang Shi was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but ask in a soft voice, "You're going up against... Oh, right. Your Dragon Flame has a grudge with Dark Spider."

After hesitating for a moment, Kuang Shi whispered, "There's no harm in telling you since you rescued Mengda Ge'er's brother. He would tell you the same. The patron behind Dark Spider is Mr. Ge'er Te, the eldest son of the patron behind the Spa Training Camp. It was he who approached me, and I was the one who advised the corps leader not to lay siege to Dark Spider."

Jiang Chen's brows furrowed tightly, his face reflecting thoughtful contemplation.

Scar's expression changed subtly as he stared straight at Jiang Chen, wanting to see what choice Jiang Chen would make—it was the choice that decided whether he would reveal a secret of his own to Jiang Chen.

"Mr. Kuang Shi, I hope that one day we will not become enemies," Jiang Chen spoke solemnly.

Kuang Shi was taken aback, then quickly understood, and chuckled softly, "Kid, why choose this way? To oppose the Dark Spider, leaving aside the Spa Training Camp, the Dark Spider alone is not easy to deal with."

"The Dark Spider has the lives of hundreds of our Dragon Flame brothers in their hands, a blood debt must be repaid with blood!" Jiang Chen spoke gravely.

Kuang Shi paused for a moment, then nodded heavily and said with a light laugh, "Mr. Dragon King, I too do not wish to become your enemy. From your character, I can tell that if I became your enemy, unless I wiped out all of Dragon Flame's people, it would definitely be a fight to the death."

After a pause, Kuang Shi explained, "Although I came out of Spa Training Camp, it doesn't mean that our Blazing Flame Mercenary Corps has to listen to them; these are two separate matters."

Jiang Chen nodded in understanding.

Kuang Shi's address had changed, which was due to the respect that had formed in his heart because of Jiang Chen's decision.

To stand up for his brothers, even knowing their enemy was powerful, this resolute character was most admired by those who live life on the edge of the blade!

Scar, sitting in the back row, let out a long breath upon hearing Jiang Chen's response, his eyes revealing a determined look.

Xuan Long, too, patted Scar on the shoulder with a slight smile, everything was understood without words.

Tap tap tap!

The sound of footsteps came as Huo Huade returned to Jiang Chen's side, followed by Mengte De'er and a hunched old man.

"Mr. Dragon King, this is Mengte De'er's slave contract, please have a look," Huo Huade said as he sat down beside Jiang Chen, passing a document to him.

Jiang Chen looked deeply at the old man standing beside Mengte De'er. In his perception, this was an Innate Grandmaster, a Paladin Knight. When he followed Mengte De'er, he had been positioned subtly half a step in front of him—protectively separating Huo Huade and Mengte De'er. It was a protective stance with Huo Huade on guard against Mengte De'er.

The fact that a Paladin Knight would serve as a protector indicated that Huo Huade's identity wasn't as simple as just being the manager of the Colosseum; after all, Mengte De'er's own strength was just at the Earth Grade Peak, hardly sufficient to warrant a Paladin Knight's protection.

While pondering in his mind, Jiang Chen looked over the document and then handed it to Xuan Long.

Scar leaned in to scrutinize the document along with Xuan Long.

"No problem." After reviewing the document, the two exchanged glances and Xuan Long spoke softly.

Jiang Chen nodded and asked softly, "Bank transfer or card swipe?"

"Does Mr. Jiang have an account with Wanguo International Bank?" Huo Huade asked softly.

Jiang Chen nodded.

"Then let's go with a transfer!" Huo Huade said with a slight smile, handing a bank card to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was momentarily stunned; Huo Huade's bank card, much like his own, was also a Supreme Card from Wanguo Bank—there were only one hundred of these cards in the entire world!

Indeed, this Huo Huade's status was far from ordinary!
