Chapter 332 - Facing A Dilemma
Chapter 332 Facing A Dilemma
There was an iron fence not far away, and it squeaked as it slowly opened. A group of muscular men, clad only in loose underpants walked in. They all had black skin, but it was not their actual skin color—they were just very dirty. Their hair was long and matted, resembling that of madmen, and their eyes had a bestial quality, as if they wanted to eat their prey!
Xiao Bing whistled as he looked up. Princess Nami walked down proudly from the ten-meter-high building, folded her arms, and said with a smile, “Aoki Ichiro, it is not easy to be my personal warrior. I heard that you are a badass. If you can defeat all those people, I will allow you to stay with me.”
Xiao Bing snorted coldly, “I’m not interested in being your personal warrior now. Let me leave.”
Princess Nami giggled. “That is not your decision to make.”
Xiao Bing asked, “Will Fukuda Ogawa also undergo such a test?”
“He? He’s standing next to me.”
Then, Fukuda Ogawa came down from the building and stood next to Princess Nami, who hummed with resentment, “This is the price you have to pay! Let me tell you, these people are all the beasts I have imprisoned in this taming field. There were 480 of them before, but only ten survived. They may not be as powerful as you are, but once they work together, I have no idea what they are capable of. Some of them have bitten a wolf to death, while it was still alive, in the past, because if they did not kill the animals, the animals will kill them.”
Xiao Bing looked at these people. They did indeed smell like beasts. They looked like human beings, but it was difficult to distinguish them from the beasts. Their eyes and ferocious momentum had proved that Princess Nami was right—they were clearly out for blood!
They looked like a herd of monsters!
However, Xiao Bing’s eyes became cold. Xiao Bing felt really angry for the first time, since he came to Jingdong. He scowled at Princess Nami and said, “They are human.”
Looking at Xiao Bing’s eyes, Princess Nami became frightened, even though she did not know why. But then she was furious, since she had been scared by a humble servant, which was intolerable for her. No matter how outstanding Xiao Bing and the person next to her were, they were her subordinates, who had to obey her orders, because she was Princess Nami, even though they were chosen from the rigorous competition!
Princess Nami felt both frightened and angry. She stretched out her hand, and a soldier with a gun next to her, handed her a bunch of keys. She immediately threw the keys into the field. As soon as the keys fell on the ground, all the men turned toward the keys…
Princess Nami said arrogantly, “Unlock your fetters. If you can kill the person in front of you, you will be free from then on. If you lose, I will let you know what it feels like to fight against a black bear.”
Hearing this, all the men ran toward the keys frantically. The first person fell to the ground, grabbed a key, and unlocked his fetters. Others soon found their own keys and unlocked their fetters. Soon the ten people finally knew the taste of ease and freedom, and then one by one, turned their eyes on Xiao Bing. If they wanted to be truly free, they had to kill the man in front, no matter what price they had to pay. Because freedom for them meant having enough food, and not having to worry about getting killed every day.
Princess Nami said that they were not afraid of death, but she was actually wrong. It was because they knew that if they were afraid during the battle, they would soon become dead corpses.
This was why they were able to stay alive, out of the 480 masters who had been raised in captivity.
These people were indeed incredible, because each of them had reached the Concealing Strength Stage. Unfortunately, they were all trapped here.
The Princess could not have imprisoned 480 Concealing Strength masters. So these people should have made their breakthroughs during the fights.
Looking at their eyes, Xiao Bing knew that he would be facing a fierce battle next.
If Xiao Bing could show his real strength, he could defeat these beast-like people easily. However, now he had to hide his strength, and he could only fight like a man at the Transforming Strength Level.
A master in the Transforming Strength Level might be strong enough to fight against five or six Concealing Strength Level experts, but there were ten opponents, and it would be a fierce battle.
Moreover, they were not just ordinary masters. They were monsters who had killing skills. If it had been anyone but Xiao Bing who was trapped in this situation, he would be never able to get out alive, including Nakamura Jiro, Xiao Bing’s former opponent.
Xiao Bing took a deep breath and focused his eyes on them. This would be Xiao Bing’s biggest challenge since he entered Jingdong!
The ten people began to disperse separately and occupied every key corner to prevent Xiao Bing from escaping. They were as smart as the wild wolves in the mountains.
Xiao Bing’s eyes were calm. At this moment, he had long forgotten about his anger. For him, the next battle would be vital. He could not expose his true strength, otherwise, the mission would fail, so it would be a great challenge for him.
Suddenly these people moved. Wolves were the most intelligent animals with a natural sense of fighting. Although these ten people were not wolves, they had survived a lot of cruel slaughter. They knew how to kill and how not to get killed, because they had murdered, strangled, beaten and bitten people to death… as long as they could live, they would do anything, even if they had to fight, unlike any normal human.
Xiao Bing also moved. Seeing that they were surrounding him, Xiao Bing would not give them a chance, so he made an unexpected turn and ran.
The yard was very large. Xiao Bing ran as fast as he could so that these people could not easily catch up with him, but they would intercept him sooner or later.
Xiao Bing ran around swiftly, as he peeked back. These people were trying to surround him and everyone stayed calm. They were like a constantly approaching net, getting closer and closer. It was slow but fatal, and Xiao Bing had no way out.
Xiao Bing frowned, stopped abruptly, and turned to face them suddenly.
Fukuda Ogawa, who was standing on the high building, had a complicated look on his face as he spoke to Princess Nami, “Aoki Ichiro is trying to find these people’s flaws during the chase, because when people run, they find it hard to maintain the same speed. Some will be fast, while some will be slow. However, these men are different. They are not aggressive. They are running at a steady speed, and slowly surrounding Aoki Ichiro. Now there is no other way out, so he has to face them and fight.”
Princess Nami smiled proudly, “The ten of them have murdered more than 500 people and each of them has a lot of bloodshed on their hands. They are not easy to deal with.”
Fukuda Ogawa asked cautiously, “Your Royal Highness, can I know who these people used to be… why are they being kept like the ancient Greek gladiators?”
Princess Nami answered, “Of course, they are not good people. I am a conscientious person. They are criminals selected from all over the country. They are a cunning lot. Since they are not good people, I raised them like animals.”
Looking at those savage-like guys who were all wounded, uncovered, and even covered in dirt, Fukuda Ogawa felt a chill going through his body Even though they were criminals, it was hard to imagine being locked up like this. After all, it was a modern society now, not a slave society, like in the past. Treating people like beasts and letting them hurt and kill each other, was unbelievable.
However, this was the decision of the most beautiful princess in the world, Fukuda Ogawa thought. Such a beautiful woman must be right.
Yes, those dirty criminals could bring happiness to such a beautiful woman and they should feel honored.
Fukuda Ogawa turned his eyes to the battlefield.
Holding the long knife and seeing that these people were constantly moving around him and trying to surround him, Xiao Bing could not wait any longer. Without saying a word, he rushed forward. He held the knife, but did not draw it out of the sheath.
When he charged at the two people at the forefront, Xiao Bing finally drew his knife out. And at this moment, the people on both sides were trying to catch him, as they roared in anger. Xiao Bing had to step backward, but was hit from behind. A man’s fingernails raked at Xiao Bing’s back, leaving five long wounds.
Xiao Bing turned around and slashed out. The other party quickly retreated and was hurt, even though it was not fatal.
Xiao Bing was injured from the beginning of the battle, and his back was burning in pain. He smiled bitterly. “Damn, am I going to fail today?”
Failing though, did not mean that he would die here. But if he was forced to reveal his full strength and his identity, the plan would fail.
