After Qin Yang and Long Meiqing sat down, they waited for about ten minutes before the lights in the venue suddenly dimmed. Qin Yang could distinctly feel that at this moment, the atmosphere in the venue had changed. The people dressed in bright clothes all had an inexplicable excitement in their eyes.

A huge iron cage had a spotlight shining on it, and a circular pedestal slowly rose from the underground.

On the pedestal stood a lovely woman.

"Dear esteemed guests, hello everyone, I'm Xiaoxi. I'm very pleased to meet you all again and will host tonight's three matches for you."

Xiaoxi said brightly.

Applause rang out from the audience, mixed with a few whistles.

"Next, we will begin tonight's first match. First, let's welcome our two gladiatorial beasts." Xiaoxi's voice echoed through every corner via the microphone.

As the words fell, the atmosphere on-site instantly became more intense.

Amid the crowd's cheers, a large steel cage slowly rose from the left side of the ground.

Roar!

Before the entire steel cage even rose up, a massive tiger roar was heard, which made the venue's atmosphere even more enthusiastic.

Inside the steel cage, a robust white Bengal tiger stood high in the cage, its beastly eyes were fierce and majestic.

"Our first gladiatorial beast has appeared, the Bengal white tiger." Xiaoxi loudly announced.

"Bengal white tiger?"

Qin Yang raised an eyebrow, the Bengal white tiger is indeed a globally rare animal, unexpected that this underground gambling arena could acquire one.

"The Bengal tiger is the second largest tiger subspecies worldwide, massive in size, one of the strongest felines today, and is one of the strongest fighting tiger subspecies, possessing robust hunting skills, extremely fierce, capable of hunting rhinos and female Asian elephants alone."

Xiaoxi glanced at the entire crowd and said.

Roar! Roar!

The Bengal tiger's eyes were fierce as it scanned the crowd outside the cage. Yet, its roar excited the crowd even more.

"Next, please welcome our second gladiatorial beast." Xiaoxi said loudly.

In the eyes of the crowd, another large steel cage slowly rose from the ground on the right side.

Hiss hiss!

Inside the steel cage was a huge black python, its body coiled tightly, spewing red snake tongues.

"This is our second gladiatorial beast, the Indian python. This Indian python is four zhang long, with a girth of fifty centimeters, without venom but possessing incredible constricting power, able to easily squeeze a thick tree trunk, and it's quite fast."

Xiaoxi introduced.

Qin Yang raised an eyebrow, this black python was nowhere less than the Silver Spirit Python he encountered by Mirror Lake that day. However, its attack power was far less than the Silver Spirit Python, which already had spirituality.

"Please look at the big screen, the odds on the screen have been released."

Xiaoxi pointed to the giant display screen hanging above the iron cage and addressed the audience.

Qin Yang looked over, only to see the subtitles on the screen were simple, the black python wins, odds are 1.5, Bengal white tiger wins, odds are 2.2, and draw odds are 4.8.

The odds calculation is quite simple, for instance, if you bet one million, and the odds are two, the prize money you receive is one million times two, which is two million, meaning you would net one million.

"Now, please place your bets on our two gladiatorial beasts." Xiaoxi said with a smile.

Below the stage, the scorching gazes swept back and forth between the black python and the Bengal white tiger, many people picked up their betting devices.

"Brother Qin, which of these fierce beasts do you think will win?" Zhang Wanqing was also very excited.

"I can't say for sure."

Qin Yang shook his head with a smile, his eyes focusing on the draw odds.

"Mr. Zhang, what does the draw imply, why are the odds so high?"

"The duration of the match is one hour, a draw implies within one hour no winner is decided, or within one hour both are seriously injured or killed. This situation is rare. I've participated in over twenty matches and only seen two draws, in most cases, a winner is decided." Zhang Wanqing explained.

"Participating in so many matches, Mr. Zhang must have made a lot, right?" Qin Yang asked with a smile.

"Didn't make any, lost over ten million." Zhang Wanqing shook his head, said with a bitter smile.

"Over ten million, that's no small amount, since you lost so much, Mr. Zhang, why not stop?" Qin Yang asked.

"Lost it, oh well, I just seek the thrill as old Zhang. Besides, there's always a chance to recoup." Zhang Wanqing replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang said no more, this kind of gambling match, ultimately the big winners are the house. Not to mention whether the house can manipulate matches, just those odds, calculated meticulously by actuaries, reduce the probability of earning big money. The saying goes, the law of averages shows most gamblers lose.

"Qin Yang, there's such a large-scale casino here, and we haven't gotten any information." Long Meiqing suddenly leaned towards Qin Yang's ear, whispered.

"Well, even if you knew, would you dare capture them?"

Qin Yang smiled and whispered similarly.

Long Meiqing's pretty face briefly froze, not to mention the power of these untamed wealthy businessmen, but those masked individuals likely include some people in high positions.

Even if the law enforcement officers knew this was an illegal underground gambling arena, they'd fear capturing anyone.

"So, I believe in no law, only strength. You law enforcement officers dare not arrest those gambling, do you dare capture those more powerful Ancient Martial Sect criminals?" Qin Yang said with a smile, eyes gleaming.

Upon hearing this, Long Meiqing fell silent. It was true they couldn't arrest these people; most wealthy business owners were CEOs of large enterprises, whose arrest would have little impact.

If they arrested them all, the stock prices of these enterprises would surely plummet, making operations difficult. What would happen to so many employees' jobs? Direct and indirect losses couldn't possibly be small, and Jiangbei Province would struggle to bear it.

"We indeed dare not arrest gamblers, but I'll capture all those who set up the gambling!" Long Meiqing bit her silver teeth and said firmly.

"Well, let me inform you, it's the Celestial Wolf Gang who set up the gambling, Captain Long. Arrest them as soon as possible."

Qin Yang said with a smile, feeling a bit fondness towards this slightly stubborn and righteous tough woman.
