Su Qiuchen lost, which was an expected result, but I have to say that he is currently the only opponent who can make Huang Hao go all out. Although they are both from China, there is no nostalgia for the old friendship in the competition. From the moment Su Qiuchen fell and turned into white light, all the top eight contestants were determined!
"Mo Yi, Artolis Grandpup, Sig, Baron Bokar, Wilheide, Fifth Linchuan, Huang Hao and Marfa, it seems that they are inseparable from Lord Edlie's prediction. Ten." McKellen held up the microphone and asked Edlie: "Wilheid and Artolis Grandpup, do you have any new views on these two former champions?"
"As for Willhead, I started paying attention to him when he entered the top 128. His strength is indeed good, but his equipment is inferior. In the confrontation with Seager, despite the huge equipment gap, he defeated the opponent with perseverance. . I also mentioned at the time that if Wilhead's equipment could have higher strength, even if there were only two more earthly weapons, then my prediction at the time would change. But Wilhead's game was indeed It’s beyond my expectation, I admit it’s wonderful!” Adlie took a deep breath.
"And Artolis Grandpup surprised me even more..."
It was unexpected, but probably it was expected. Artoris blinked, but it was just a guess. Maybe the other party really didn't think highly of her.
"Indeed, unexpected situations inevitably occur on the field, and these accidents are what we call dark horse players. Excellent equipment is a kind of strength, and superhuman luck is also a kind of strength. The top eight players have all been confirmed, and everyone is looking forward to it The top eight tournament will also be held the next day. Let’s wait and see who will make it to the semi-finals and who will stop here!”
The lights dimmed and the audience left. Xilu was the happiest person to see the three Stanleys. After learning that Eiffel had not been able to see Artoris compete in person, she began to brag about Artoris's "unparalleled" record.
And the words coming from Xilu's mouth were inevitably exaggerated. Seeing the admiring look Eiffel gave her, Artolis herself felt a little embarrassed. On the other side, Uno approached Lilith. After all, she was a very popular little witch. Artolis didn't expect that Uno was also a fan of her.
Stanley went to find a place to live. Artoris looked at Kaguya playing a game alone in the corner, smiled and shook her head.
In this empty arena hall, several people were waiting for Stanley's contact. When he came back after booking a room, they could go to have dinner. Thinking of Artolis, she rubbed her hungry belly.
"What? You said someone is looking for me?"
"Yes, it's a man in a black trench coat, saying that their boss wants to meet with you."
After hearing Artoris's call, Kaguya raised her head and met Kaguya's gaze. Artolis remembered Shiyena's reminder.
The financial backers behind the scenes...
The other party only asked to meet Artolis. Originally, Stanley wanted to accompany him, but Artolis refused.
"Don't worry, it's okay. The laws of Avalon exist. As long as we are on this land, the other party will not dare to touch me casually. You just need to leave a piece of dinner for me." Artolis then corrected after thinking about it. To: "Two servings!"
Others were still a little worried, but Kaguya was the calmest at this time: "Believe Liz, there will be no danger. The other party is just for profit. Attacking Liz will only be harmful but not beneficial to them. Let her go. .”
Nodding towards Kaguya, Artoris followed the man in black and disappeared into the night soon. Artoris couldn't see through the strength of this man in black, he proved to be no less than rank five, and was this guy just the opponent's younger brother?
After walking for twenty minutes, the other party stopped in front of an alley, "Sir Grandpup, we are here!"
"Here?" Artolis frowned as she looked at the dark alley.
Following the man in black, he came to the center of the alley, and then a magical scene happened. He saw a secret door opened on the side wall. The golden light inside the door seemed incompatible with the surrounding environment.
"Your Excellency, please come in!"
Following the others, she walked through the door and went up to the second floor after many twists and turns. Artolis was not very familiar with the route, and the golden corridor was quite circuitous. Looking at the decoration of the doors of each room, it feels like a place similar to a modern casino.
I followed the man to the door of a room that looked like a VIP stand, and saw the man in black knocking on the door.
"Sir, we have already arrived!"
"Come in!" A voice came from the door soon.
Opening the door, it was exactly what Artolis thought. This was a VIP stand, and the location was also very good. It was right in the middle. It should be considered a relatively high-end private room. There was a person sitting on the sofa in the middle of the room. The person's back was to Artolis. He didn't turn around when he heard the door open. He was still looking at the gambling game below.
Artolis was not interested in gambling, but looked around at the surrounding environment. It can only be described as gorgeous and luxurious, but when she thought that this was a casino, Artolis suddenly lost her feeling.
Soon, the gambling game below ended. At this time, the people watching the game turned the sofa around, and Artolis took a look. Lying on the sofa was a middle-aged man with a very rich appearance. From his demeanor, it was clear that he was a very rich or prestigious person.
After thinking for a while, Artolis asked tentatively: "What do you want from me?"
"In my opinion, it is already very good for a cultivator with poor equipment and just past level three to achieve the top eight results in the world competition."
"Oh?" Of course Artolis understood what the other party meant. Who else could this person be if she wasn't herself? Artolis thought for a moment and then asked: "Did you buy me to win?"
"It's not just me, I'm just one of them. It's not easy for others to come forward." The other party said slowly.
"How much did you buy?" Artolis asked.
"There are so many, so many, so many that you can't even imagine in your life..." the other party said and lit up a cigarette.
Listening to the other party's words, Artolis clenched her fists angrily, but her rationality made her stop the urge to punch him.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Artolis said, "Then what's the purpose of calling me here? You're not just here to inform me, are you?"
"Very smart. This is naturally not the purpose of meeting you this time. If I remember correctly, your opponent in the quarterfinals is a Chinese cultivator named Mo Yi."
Listening to the other party's words, Artolis frowned. Sure enough, Shiyena was right. The opponent saw clearly his strength and knew that it would be difficult for him to enter the semi-finals, so he bought his opponent's bet when his own odds were the lowest. What a betting genius, now Artoris can know what the other person is thinking even without having to say anything.
It's nothing more than the same as when he bribed his opponent before, except that the person the opponent wants to bribe now is her, Atoris!
