After winning a match, Wu Cong waved to call Andrew over.

"Continue!"

"Yes, Young Master Wu!"

Andrew, with a smile on his face, went down to make arrangements, though he was quite annoyed internally.

"What on earth is going on? Why are the fierce beasts appearing more and more powerful recently!"

"Damn it, those Beast Masters need to strengthen some fierce beasts properly for me!"

Though the emergence of a small number of fierce beasts didn’t greatly affect the profits of the Blood-colored Beast Fighting Arena, the profit at Andrew’s arena, for which he was responsible, had noticeably decreased lately, which resulted in him being scolded harshly by his superiors.

Although he was very dissatisfied with those freeloading Beast Masters, Andrew knew that now was not the time; at the very least, he needed to appease Wu Cong first.

The second match, the third match, the fourth match, a total of eight matches, and the Shadow Snake remained undefeated!

The smile on Wu Cong’s face was already impossible to conceal!

"Young Master Wu, should we continue?"

Andrew was sweating profusely, unable to stop it. In just one afternoon, with eight matches, Wu Cong had directly earned hundreds of thousands in life money. This was even with the betting ratio having decreased due to the Shadow Snake’s overwhelming power; if it had been the same as it was at the beginning...

Andrew shivered at the thought; it was truly terrifying!

"No, my lovely little snake isn’t in good condition now!"

"Moreover, it’s evening dinner time. We’ll continue tonight!"

Indeed, after eight battles, the Shadow Snake was somewhat exhausted, with various injuries on its body. The Beast Masters at the Blood-colored Beast Fighting Arena were not useless; the fierce beasts they cultivated were strong, but they still fell short compared to Chen Jiuge’s.

However, once the Blood-colored Beast Fighting Arena caught on, they would surely trace it back to Chen Jiuge sooner or later.

But this is exactly what Chen Jiuge wanted. No matter how powerful Black Star’s forces were, it couldn’t change the fact that it was a black-market industry. Such places didn’t care about a cultivator’s background, as long as they brought profit, that was enough.

While Wu Cong’s Shadow Snake was flaunting its prowess, others who had also purchased fierce beasts from the Beast Yard were doing the same. Although they didn’t have anything as powerful as Wu Cong’s Shadow Snake, they still earned substantial wealth.

At the very least, they recouped their investment in the fierce beasts.

This delighted those few individuals, and they discovered a new path to wealth!

.........

Thanks to the indirect promotion from the Wu Family’s Young Master and the strong support of other wealthy merchants, the name of Dusk Manor began to spread in the Blood-colored Beast Fighting Arena.

The name Chen Jiuge was also remembered by many.

Besides the arena, the Blood-colored Beast Fighting Arena also had many entertainment facilities, the most luxurious being a skyscraper that reached ninety-nine floors, arrogantly named Drunken Life and Dream Death.

As the name suggests, in Drunken Life and Dream Death, as long as you desire, there’s nothing you can’t obtain, assuming you have the money. Without money, you’ll only enjoy the final word "Death"!

The top floor of Drunken Life and Dream Death was not open to the public, with only one person allowed to stay there for extended periods—the manager of the Mountain City’s Blood-colored Beast Fighting Arena and a significant figure in the Weak Water Organization—Chong Yun!

Standing in front of the transparent floor-to-ceiling window, Chong Yun looked at the neon lights below, a faint smile on his face.

"What a beautiful and peaceful life!"

Recalling his life in Weak Water, Chong Yun’s lips couldn’t help but curve upward. "Only those fools believe that they can attain greater power in the organization."

"Little do they realize, only money allows for endless climbing!"

"Knock knock knock"

"Come in!"

A woman, charming in appearance but with a cold expression, walked unhurriedly beside Chong Yun on ten-centimeter high heels and handed over a document. "These are last month’s finances!"

"How did it come out so fast? Yun Yan, you’ve really been helpful!"

Taking the document, Chong Yun looked at the woman beside him, an air of desire flashing in his eyes, but he suppressed it upon considering her identity.

Opening the file, Chong Yun initially intended to just skim through it, considering minor discrepancies in a black-market industry like this quite normal. After all, the people below had to make a living too. As long as it wasn’t excessive and didn’t harm his interests, Chong Yun usually didn’t mind.

However, this time Chong Yun miscalculated. Opening the first page and seeing the final proceeds, the glaring number of twenty-three thousand made Chong Yun’s face darken!

The Blood-colored Beast Fighting Arena had nine arenas in total, and aside from the half of the revenue brought in by Drunken Life and Dream Death, the arenas provided the other half!

With a minimum annual profit of a billion in life money, each arena’s revenue should be around five million per month, but now what did he see?

Twenty-three thousand!

This number was simply an insult to his intelligence.

"Who is the person in charge of the No.1 Arena!" Chong Yun asked, suppressing his anger.

Yun Yan adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses slightly and said, "It’s Andrew, but before you trouble him, it’s best to hear some news first!"

"What news?"

Chong Yun knew that Yun Yan possessed not only beauty but also great strength and a vast intelligence network throughout the Mountain City!

"Dusk Manor has a new Manor Master, whose background is not simple; he is a Fifth Level Citizen, but I haven’t been able to trace his roots."
