“Jiang Hua, you can trust Young Master Su and follow him; don’t listen to this guy’s nonsense. What kind of future do you have following him? Following Young Master Su is the real path to wealth and success!”
Su Mingyuan was seething with anger. Seeing that Xiao Ran was about to persuade Jiang Hua, he was delighted. But he didn’t expect the sneaky boss to jump in and interrupt at this moment.
After the performance ended today, he would make sure to choose a miserable death for this bastard, for the greater good!
Luckily, Xiao Ran was capable and determined. While he couldn’t produce any evidence, he could bite into the most fatal point, making the arena boss’s words seem weak and feeble.
“What about the antidote? Su Mingyuan got the antidote from you, didn’t he? If it wasn’t you who poisoned Jiang Hua, how could you have the antidote ready?”
The arena boss’s eyes flickered as he used a sophistry argument. “This is all part of your scheming, Xiao Ran. You stole the poison from me and poisoned Jiang Hua. You knew that only I had the antidote, and you deliberately framed me to gain Jiang Hua’s trust. I have no choice but to admit that you succeeded, and now I am utterly defenseless. But I still have to say, Xiao Ran, what a despicable plan, what a vicious mind!”
He shrugged his shoulders with a shameless look, making Xiao Ran grit his teeth.
Today, it wasn’t Su Mingyuan who had made him angry, but this shameless arena boss who had provoked him to the point of wanting to hit someone!
The boss of the arena was truly shameless and didn’t seem to care about offending Xiao Ran.
Putting aside the fact that it would be more beneficial to make friends with Su Mingyuan than to offend Xiao Ran, just before coming here, he was flattering and trying to please the underground queen of Ming City, Lady Murong Hongxue.
Perhaps because his flattery worked, he received a promise from Lady Murong.
“Go and do what you need to do.” “No one will be able to touch you tonight.”
With Lady Murong’s assurance, the boss was completely fearless of Xiao Ran. He had heard that Xiao Ran was quite capable, but this was his home turf, and Lady Murong was also here tonight. He had no fear of Xiao Ran getting violent.
Just as he was speaking, Lady Murong Hongxue made her entrance.
She walked in with an elegant stride, dressed in a red dress, exuding an imposing and deadly aura as well as a noble and alluring one.
“I am curious about what is causing all this noise down here.” “I never thought I would be able to witness such an interesting drama between two men fighting over a man,” she said with a light laugh, interrupting the argument between Xiao Ran and the arena boss.
The smile on her lips was charming and tempting, but no one present showed any desire or greed.
She was a terrifying and deadly snake demon. Every seductive gesture concealed venomous fangs that could claim a life in an instant.
Both Su Mingyuan’s and Xiao Ran’s eyes lit up.
Su Mingyuan was relieved that he had visited Hongxue before the performance and asked her to look out for him. This backup plan was now coming in handy.
“Hongxue, save me!” he thought.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ran was hopeful that, given his current partnership with Murong Hongxue, she would stand by him and speak up for him.
This could help him win Jiang Hua’s favor.
The arena owner was brimming with confidence, thinking to himself that Murong Hong Xue’s appearance was clearly in support of him.
“Do you still dare to be arrogant in front of me, Xiao Ran?”
The poor arena owner had no idea that Murong Hong Xue and Xiao Ran had secretly worked together. Even Xiao Ran’s security company gave Murong Hongxue 60% of the profits!
“I saw the performance earlier, and I know for a fact that the poison on Jiang Hua’s body was not administered by Xiao Ran. You know who did it, don’t you, Jiang Hua?” Murong Hongxue spoke up, putting an end to the argument.
Su Mingyuan and Xiao Ran were overjoyed, while the arena owner looked bewildered, then incredulous, and finally crestfallen.
“How could this be? How could Murong Hongxxue expose me and take Xiao Ran’s side? Didn’t she promise me something?”
“I didn’t do it. I didn’t.” The arena owner wanted to argue, but Murong Hongxue’s cold hum and icy stare made him break out in a cold sweat. He stood there, trembling, too scared to say another word.
The hairs on his neck suddenly stood up as he felt a chilling murderous intent.
Murong Hongxue continued, “What Xiao Ran just said is not entirely wrong. After experiencing an assassination attempt, even if you go to Su Mingyuan’s side, can you guarantee that he won’t hold a grudge against you? Even if he doesn’t, can you truly let go of any resentment in your heart?”
She smirked. “Anyway, that’s all I have to say. It’s up to you to decide. But before that…”
She waved her hand coldly.
Suddenly, a black figure appeared behind the arena’s boss. Then a sharp knife pierced his heart.
“I never thought that someone would break the rules in my territory. Forcing my fighters to participate in rigged matches, and, if they refuse, poisoning them…
Murong Hongxue coldly laughed and announced the arena boss’s death sentence, avenging Jiang Hua.
The arena boss screamed in agony, his eyes wide open and blood flowing from his throat. He stared at Mourong Hongxue, as if accusing her:
“You promised me that no one would harm me tonight.” Why?
Indeed, Mourong Hongxue had promised him that no one would harm him tonight.
But this promise did not include her.
His part was over, and it was time for him to exit. It was that simple.
Mourong Hongxue picked up a snow-white handkerchief and wiped the non-existent blood off her hands. She acted as if she had just slaughtered an animal, not a human being.
The black figure disappeared again from behind the arena boss.
Murong Hongxue was not only feared for her ruthlessness but also for her mysterious and powerful shadow guards.
Her on-site murder surprised the other spectators.
Su Mingyuan seemed to be scared and shrank his head in fear.
The viper’s face lit up at the sight of blood, and he licked his lips.
Xiao Ran was even more delighted in his heart. He had long been dissatisfied with the owner of the arena, and Murong Hongxue’s ruthless killing style was even more to his liking!
He looked at the other party’s stunning appearance in the red dress, and his little heart beat faster, producing some inappropriate thoughts.
Her live killing was also surprising to the rest of the crowd.
