To start fighting directly, Graham felt a little uneasy. Attributes were just like a military exercise. The point is just to let the other party understand their strength, there was no need to actually fight.

But Hong Dali didn’t care so much. He nodded his head decisively. “If he says it’s okay, it will be okay. Aiya, this is the virtual world, after all. As long as it’s interesting to watch. No one will lose their life.”

“That’s true.” Graham was pleased with Hong Dali’s words. He touched his chin and nodded. “In that case, let’s just have fun. Hmm, oh yeah, since we’re having fun, how about we bet on something?”

It was one thing to win or lose the fight. What was important was what he could get out from the bet. If he managed to win some valuable information from Hong Dali, or if he got Hong Dali to get him a few Golden-armored Green-eyed Tigers, it would be a fruitful trip, right?

“Ah? We’re betting?” Hong Dali sniffled. “My luck has always been bad. I always lose bets. Let’s not gamble, okay?”

Hearing that, the Bureau Chief and the others held back their laughter. Hong Dali actually said his luck was bad…

They were tickled—Graham obviously didn’t know how good Hong Dali’s luck was. He beamed and said, “Let’s play. Just for fun. Anyway, we’re not betting on anything big. A small amount of gambling is entertaining, but excessive gambling is harmful. We can bet on anything.”

“That…” Hong Dali hesitated, then said, “Alright, what would you like to bet on, Uncle Graham?”

He agreed, after all. Hehe. That was easy!

Graham smiled. “If we win, we won’t ask for too much. Dali, you can get us two Golden-armored Green-eyed Tigers, how is that?”

Golden-armored Green-eyed Tiger, Planet-level beast. That would cost 1.2 million Galaxy Dollars in the Galaxy Virtual Network black market. Dali could control animals and was a country bumpkin. He clearly did not know the value of a Golden-armored Green-eyed Tiger. We’ll win two of those before Hong Dali realizes, this would make our journey here worthwhile!

“Ah? The two tigers that I rode on the last time I was here?” Hong Dali thought for a while. “But I don’t like to treat animals as objects. They’re my good friends!”

“Don’t worry, you don’t have to worry!” Graham whispered. “My son, Deca, really likes them. If you can give them to me, I promise we won’t ill-treat them!”

“Alright, then.” Hong Dali nodded. “In that case, Uncle Graham, if you win, I’ll ask them to follow you back…” He mumbled. “If I win, what should I ask for?”

Deal! Two tigers would be 2.4 million Galaxy Dollars. Other than our mother ship, whatever the country bumpkin Hong Dali wants, can be considered—but how was it possible for him to win?

“Anything!” Graham quickly said. “Dali, if you win, you can ask for anything you want, as long as it’s something I am able to decide!” As someone from Planet Quinn’s barbarian race, Asquith’s strength was rather impressive. He was considered one of the top few in the true combat race of the Milky Way. It was impossible for someone like that to lose to a country bumpkin like Hong Dali. Hence, Graham was confident in winning. He wasn’t afraid of what Hong Dali might ask for.

“Oh…” Hong Dali looked around. The Bureau Chief was getting anxious.

Rascal, you better ask for something worthy. Don’t get bluffed by him!

“I haven’t thought of it yet.” Hong Dali scratched his head. “How about this, I’ll decide later. A country bumpkin like me hasn’t seen much…”

“Sure, sure, sure.” Graham agreed without thinking much. “If you really win, you can ask for anything you want.”

“Deal. Let’s begin.” Hong Dali grinned as he nodded. “Aiyaya, fighting is the most exciting. Even better than watching a movie!”

Once they fixed the gamble, the people on Graham’s side were elated. They whispered to each other. “Hahaha, two Golden-armored Green-eyed Tigers, good stuff!” “We are sure to win this. Hehe. Hong Dali is an idiot. He is indeed a country bumpkin who doesn’t know much. He actually agreed!” “Hehe, of course, we belong to a higher civilization. They are bumpkins who have just connected to the Milky Way’s virtual network. They wouldn’t understand.”

There were some that cheered loudly for Asquith. “Asquith, do well, fight well!” “Asquith, show the results of your usual training, don’t embarrass us!” “Asquith is sure to win! Don’t hesitate, give your all!”

Hong Dali’s side were all cheering for the Blood Demon. “Blood Demon, how is it? Can you do it! They seem pretty strong.” “That’s right, don’t embarrass Earth!”

“Don’t worry.” The Blood Demon looked around and said calmly, “I’ll try my best.”

Hence, they began the fight.

“Hehe, you’re Blood Demon?” Asquith stood tall and smiled as he looked at the Blood Demon three meters away. “Your body looks ordinary. Oh right, speaking of which, it doesn’t seem like there is any good martial arts where you came from? When we start later, if you cannot take it, don’t push yourself. Fists don’t have eyes.”

“En, maybe.” The Blood Demon narrowed his eyes and raised his right hand, signaling a “please”. This was the courtesy that his Master Wang Daoming had taught him. “Please!”

Both stood in the field. Blood Demon’s height was only up to Asquith’s nose, but he didn’t appear intimidated at all. His stare was eerie and cold, but there was no tinge of emotion. It was as if he was facing a wooden stake for training.

Seeing that it was about to start, everyone around them quietened down. Although they knew Asquith would win, the people on Graham’s side all watched the battle seriously—although they were facing the bumpkins, proper etiquette was necessary.

As part of the barbarian race and the warrior among the race, Asquith was someone who absolutely worshiped strength. When he threw a punch, it was sure to strike like a lightning bolt and defeat the enemy in one punch.

At this time, in order to let the boss Graham value him, Asquith naturally went all out!

He stepped forward with his left foot, riding on the energy from his waist, Asquith clenched his right fist and punched towards the left side of the Blood Demon’s heard fiercely, causing a strong breeze. He did not reserve any strength at all. The punch was so strong and forceful it could knock down a wall. The surrounding air seemed to be burning as well. With that force, if that punch had hit the Blood Demon, he would definitely bid goodbye.

Just once punch drew cheers among the crowd.

Preposterous, intimidating!

But the Blood Demon stood there quietly. His body tightened as he turned around, lightly wrapping Asquith’s fist with his left hand.

It seemed like it was just a gentle touch, its strength probably no bigger than hitting a housefly. At the same time, he dodged Asquith’s punch by just a few centimeters.

Just one attack caused the right side of Blood Demon’s face to heat up with pain. Although Asquith’s fist didn’t hit him, just the wind that came with the force was sufficient to cause a burning feeling. It was a fascinating attack!

“His strength is frightening, indeed.” The Blood Demon secretly nodded and said to himself, “Thankfully, I have gotten help from the Young Master’s powers. If it was just my own strength, this barbarian would have probably crushed me. No technique would have helped.”

As one of the Four Kings in the assassins’ world, the Blood Demon was a technique player. He did not depend on strength. Hence, facing an opponent like Asquith who used his strength, he had to win with his technique. Naturally, if there was too big a difference between both fighter’s style, it would be useless.

Although Asquith did not achieve what he wanted, he managed to test the Blood Demon’s skills. Taking advantage of his initial punch, he lifted his leg and swept towards the Blood Demon’s head. The strength of this kick was about three times that of his earlier punch. In addition to his height, the coverage of his range was astonishing. There was no doubt from the audience that his kick would break his opponent’s head.

Blood Demon instantly stepped diagonally back. As he did that, Asquith’s leg had just missed him by a little. The distance could be measured by a few centimeters.

As he stepped back, Blood Demon didn’t forget to raise his left hand to brush across Asquith’s right leg briefly.

Asquith did not manage to succeed in his last two moves. As his right leg stepped on the ground, he lifted his left leg and turned his body 360 degrees. His left leg was like a wrecking ball crashing towards Blood Demon.

Blood Demon stepped back again and avoided Asquith’s kick. He brushed Asquith’s leg with his hand again.

Just three moves and Blood Demon’s left arm was achingly numb. Asquith’s strength was impressive, indeed.

As the battle progressed, Asquith’s courage mounted. With each move that got blocked, he launched another move. His moves got faster and fiercer. In the midst of his agile attacks, Blood Demon moved bizarrely to Asquith’s blind spot. Their positions changed instantly as Asquith back-faced Graham. Blood Demon swiftly moved behind him.

It was the perfect angle to attack, perfect position, perfect rhythm!

Out of everyone’s expectation, Blood Demon did not launch an attack on Asquith. He brushed Asquith’s arm lightly.

Blood Demon’s left arm was clearly slowing down. There was numbness from his fingers to his wrists, to his shoulders, and his entire left arm. His bones were trembling.

Asquith was really scary. His strength was terrifying. But Blood Demon was a technique-based assassin. He could calculate one’s strength particularly well. In the past, he could defeat a person with just one finger. He could cripple someone with one punch without exerting much strength. But just by exchanging a few moves with Asquith, his left arm was completely numb with aches.
