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.
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.
