Chapter 52: Coming For You

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There were many people on the first floor of the building, as well as security guards guarding the entrance to the arena. It seemed like they had finished checking everyone’s tickets.

Di Jiu performed the Invisibility Dharmic Spell he had just learned. Although he was not able to become completely invisible, this was enough to keep the security guards from spotting him.

Di Jiu slipped past the security personnel and walked down the sloping passageway towards the arena.

He could already feel the excitement in the air as he walked down the path. The crowd was cheering consistently, and he could see the progress of the match clearly as he got closer to the arena.

Two muscular men were standing in the ring, taking turns hitting each other. Di Jiu took a quick glance at them before looking away indifferently.

The arena had a circular layout, and he was currently standing right in the middle of the circle. How was he going to locate Jia Qian?

“May I help you?” A man in a black tuxedo walked towards Di Jiu, who had been looking around frantically. The man stood with both hands in front of his abdomen and spoke politely.

“I’m looking for…” Di Jiu almost blurted out that he was looking for Jia Qian, but he was able to think on his feet. If he had been invited by Jia Qian to watch the match, he would have been escorted to his seat instead of standing there looking lost. If he looked for Jia Qian on his own, he would probably be kicked out of the building in no time.

“I am looking for Brother Zhengsheng. I have something that I need to give him personally. He said that he would send someone to wait for me at the lobby, but I was delayed on my way here, so I didn’t find anyone waiting for me.” Di Jiu took out a wrapped-up saber and lifted it for a few seconds. Then, he patted the huge bag he carried on his back.

If Jia Qian had decided to organize this tournament in Daicheng City, then Bi Zhengsheng would definitely be at the arena.

“Go upstairs and then head right. Brother Sheng is in the fourth theater box.” The man in the tuxedo, who did not suspect anything, gave Di Jiu directions to find Bi Zhengsheng. Brother Sheng had already given orders before the match to direct anyone looking for him to his theater box.

No one in Daicheng City would dare make a scene in any of Master Jia’s establishments, unless they had a death wish. Thus, it never occurred to the usher that Di Jiu was there looking for trouble.

“Thank you.” Di Jiu thanked the usher before climbing the staircase on his right.

Thanks to the usher’s directions, he was able to locate the fourth theater box quickly. The door to the theater box was closed, but Di Jiu did not bother knocking. He took out his derelict dagger and forcefully sliced the door open.

The wooden door was instantly cut open like a piece of tofu.

There were two people inside the private theater box. A refined middle-aged man with short hair was sitting with one hand placed on the French window overlooking the arena while a lady leaned against him.

“Who are you?” Bi Zhengsheng stood up as soon as he realized that Di Jiu had forcefully broken in. His sudden movement caused the lady to fall down.

Di Jiu grabbed a piece of broken wood and knocked the lady unconscious before she could even scream. “My friend says that I’m horrible at disguising myself. Don’t I look even a little familiar?”

“Are you Di Jiu?” Bi Zhengsheng wanted to attack Di Jiu as soon as he realized who he was. However, he had heard that Di Jiu was the one who had murdered Shang Sha. Shang Sha was so much more powerful than him that he would have been able to kill him with a single slap.

Di Jiu raised his hand to slap Bi Zhengsheng. Even though Bi Zhengsheng saw his hand coming towards him, he was unable to avoid it in time.

A sickening clap was heard as Di Jiu’s hand came into contact with Bi Zhengsheng, who fell onto the couch heavily. Di Jiu grabbed Bi Zhengsheng by the neck forcefully. “I heard that you and a woman came looking for me in the Swallow Capital about a month ago.”

Bi Zhengsheng, who was unable to speak, could only whimper.

Di Jiu realized that he was using too much force, so he immediately loosened his grip slightly. Bi Zhengsheng’s face had turned bright red by now. “You have misunderstood! This is a misunderstanding… Master Jia ordered me to go back then. I have escaped from Luo Jin now…”

“Where is Trustworthy?” Di Jiu did not want to ask any more questions.

“I can tell you. Let go of me…” Bi Zhengsheng was extremely frightened.

The truth was that, ever since Di Jiu had murdered Shang Sha, he had abandoned any idea of killing him for revenge. He only wished he would never see him again. At the time, he had thought it would be safer for him to stay with Master Jia. However, it seemed like staying by his master’s side hadn’t been the safest choice after all.

Di Jiu laughed mockingly. “Do you have the guts not to tell me?”

As he spoke, he tightened his grip once again.

Di Jiu would not let Bi Zhengsheng go, even if he chose to reveal Trustworthy’s whereabouts. He had promised Su You that he would help her avenge her parents’ deaths, and he now had Bi Zhengsheng in his hands.

It was obvious that Bi Zhengsheng was not someone with much moral integrity. “I’ll tell you!” he said without even a moment’s hesitation.

…

The Daicheng International Boxing Ring, which was located at the top floor of the building, looked much neater than the other levels. The largest meeting room in the arena was also located on that floor. The meeting room, which was bright and spacious, provided a great view of the match.

There were 20 people currently seated in the meeting room, including a black men and three white men.

A middle-aged man with a glowing face was sitting at the head of the table. He was the founder of the Daicheng International Boxing Arena, Jia Qian, and the very person who had initiated this conference.

“I agree with your suggestion, Brother Qian. If we want to expand our influence on the Fairy Planet, we will need a large sum of money. However, I’m worried that money will be the least of our troubles if we are thinking of building a portal on the Fairy Planet…” A bearded man named Pu Tai, who was seated in the middle of the table, stood up and presented his point of view.

Pu Tai was a big shot of the Southeastern Asian underworld who had specialized in smuggling guns and drugs. However, when international laws had become stricter, he had established a mercenary company in Africa. He loved it the most when people called him by his nickname, which was “Too Handsome”.

Everyone in the meeting room understood his point of view. About 90% of the territory of the Fairy Planet was currently owned by various countries, while the other 10% was owned by extremely wealthy families, as well as some underground superpowers.

Although Jia Qian enjoyed a very high status, his status was not as high as that of the people who had influence on the Fairy Planet.

Even the first step, which was to transport building materials to the Fairy Planet and build an encampment, was no easy feat.

“I agree with Too Handsome. I suggest we include Bin Sen. He does have a lot of Jewish business connections. Those people would do anything as long as there was money to gain.” This time, it was a white man who had stood up to speak. He spoke Chinese really well, without even a hint of an accent.

After the white man had spoken, someone else wanted to break in. However, Jia Qian raised a hand and stopped him apologetically. “I’m sorry. Something serious must have happened, or my personal assistant would not be interrupting our meeting.”

The rest of the people in the room excused him, as he was the one who had initiated the meeting.

Jia Qian signalled towards the door of the meeting room. A slim woman in business attire hurried over to him, bent her waist and said quietly, “Chairman, I just received news that the security system in your bedroom has been triggered.”

Jia Qian’s face instantly darkened. “Did you find out what happened?”

“The villa is under stricter surveillance now. We are awaiting further instructions from you,” she replied promptly.

Jia Qian knew that his guards would never dare enter his bedroom without his permission.

He stood up instantly and cupped his fists respectfully. “My dear friends, there is a matter at home that I have to attend to immediately…”

Before anyone in the meeting room could reply, Di Jiu’s voice was heard from the entrance. “There is no need for you to go back home, Trustworthy. I have come for you.”

Di Jiu was holding a plastic bag and a saber wrapped in a black cloth. On his back was a huge bag.
