Chapter 179 Dark Bound
Chapter 180 Dark Binding
Following the host's call, Buffalo and I appeared on both sides of the arena, one on the left and one on the right, and walked towards the ring.

"Where did you come from, little brat! Get down quickly!" a young man with a buzz cut and a ruffian look shouted.

"Oh! Buffalo! Get this kid out of the field quickly! We want to see a more exciting game!" This was the scream of a middle-aged woman.

"This child is so cute. It would be great if he could take off his mask. Dad, can we bet on him winning?" This is a foreign girl who is now acting coquettishly while holding the hand of another middle-aged foreign man.

"Hahaha! It's actually a kid! Buffalo! Tear him into pieces! Let his blood spill all over the arena! I will pay for your loss!" This is a perverted man, and at this moment he is shouting madly at the buffalo.

"Ah! Buffalo, your muscles have become stronger! Kill this little devil quickly! Then come to my room tonight!" This was the cry of a young woman.

"Hey! Buffalo. When did you become a babysitter? Be careful not to get bitten by the kids!" This came from a fighting contestant who had finished his own match and came down to watch.

The shouts from the audience were as loud and noisy as thunder. Most people supported Shuiniu. After all, Shuiniu was a veteran in the ring, not to mention that his opponent this time was a child. The bets were also one-sided, almost everyone bet on Shuiniu's victory, and only a few people bet on Xun.

Conan sat in the private room and watched Xun walk onto the stage. It must be said that Conan's heart was in turmoil at the moment, because Xun, who was on the stage at the moment, might kill the man in front of him. He wanted to use lip language through the mirror to remind Xun not to kill again, but at this moment his face was completely covered by the mask and he couldn't express his meaning at all. He himself didn't dare to take off the mask, because once his face was exposed, more people would die here.

"Xiao Xun, you promised me that you would not kill anyone, you promised!" At this moment, Conan could only hypnotize himself softly with a voice that only he could hear.

On the other side, I was already standing on the ring and didn't care about the noisy shouts around me, but was more focused on the king cobra that would appear soon.

Sure enough, not long after, a man with shoulder-length hair and sunglasses appeared in the VIP room on Conan's right. Following behind him were Qing Jie and two bodyguards in suits.

I looked up at the King Cobra sitting there. I saw that Sister Qing was very respectful to him, and the two bodyguards were standing in a way that they could rush out at any time to protect him. In addition, his calm aura and the greedy smile on his lips when he looked at me through his sunglasses, I could conclude that this person was King Cobra himself, not a substitute.

"Boy, how many times did you look at the green snake just now? Now I'm going to blow your eyeballs out as the price for your blind look!" At this time, the buffalo standing opposite me began to yell at me.

I calmly said, "Then let's get started."

"Then I declare the competition open! ... Nani! Conan Doyle wins!"

"It's a lie... isn't it?" Conan opened his mouth wide.

Yes, this ring fight had just begun, and the match was over. Because right after the referee announced the start, Xun rushed out at a lightning speed, so fast that Shuiniu had no time to react, and punched him on the temple. With just one blow, Shuiniu was knocked down instantly and lost consciousness.

Everyone gasped. Especially those who bet on the buffalo to win, they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. The whole place suddenly became silent. After a few seconds, a few people who bet on Xun to win started cheering, and they almost shouted crazily, because it only took a second. They went from being penniless gamblers to millionaires, because Xun's odds were too high. It's a pity that Conan doesn't gamble, otherwise if he had bet just now, even if it was only 10,000 yen, he would have nearly a million yen in income in the next second.

Everyone was stunned. They were all frightened by the scene before their eyes. One punch, just one punch. The Buffalo, who was known as a top player, was knocked down.

"Remember to call me when the next match starts." I shook my swollen and aching hands, then calmly walked off the stage. In the stunned eyes of everyone, I left the ring.

Buffalo? Him? He doesn't even have half the skills of Soul Sorrow. There are flaws all over his body. You can hit him anywhere you want. If there is no place worth testing, I can just go up and knock him down with one punch.

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

"Where did this child come from?" In the VIP room, King Cobra swallowed his saliva. The shocking attack just now made him open his eyes wide.

"I don't know. He suddenly showed up in the store today." Green Snake replied. "In the bar, he gave Sloth an armor-piercing bullet. In Japan, there are not many people who can get armor-piercing bullets. Such a seedling must not fall into the hands of others."

"Well, big brother and Mr. Hunshang are gone. But God sent this child to us. We must keep him at any cost!" King Cobra said resolutely.

"By the way, this Conan Doyle has a younger brother. He said he wanted to bring his younger brother out to see the world. Do you think...?" Seeing that King Cobra wanted to win him over, Green Snake hurriedly started a conversation.

"Whether his brother is a gun or not, we still have to keep him!" King Cobra's eyes shone brighter. If Conan Doyle's brother is also a well-trained child, then in a few years, he will be able to stand firmly in Japan! If not. That can also be a means to keep him.

"Yes, I'll do it right away." As he spoke, Qing Snake walked out the door. On the other side, I used the break time to go to the VIP room and found Conan.

"How is it? Is it fun here?" I looked relaxed.

"Did you kill him?"

Conan frowned.

"How is that possible... No matter how weak he is, he can't die so easily." I shook my head. "At most, he will be a vegetable."

"What is your purpose in bringing me here?" Conan asked unhappily.

"Well? Didn't I say I would bring you to see the dark world?"

"Xun, I want to hear the truth." Conan said to me coldly.

“…Isn’t this the truth?”

"If you just brought me here to see this, why did you participate in the ring match?" Conan frowned. "If you just brought me here to see this, what did you mean by the king cobra in the tavern? What are you planning!"

"..Alas." After a moment of silence, I let out a sigh. "Sure enough, dealing with detectives is a very tiring thing." I smiled evilly.

"Tell me what you want to do!" Conan was angry. He pulled my collar and asked me loudly.

"Kudo, calm down." I said coldly. "This is someone else's territory. Do you know that your actions just now have been known to outsiders? There are surveillance cameras above our heads. Aren't you afraid that others will notice the clues when you treat your brother like this?"

"..." Conan heard this and put down his hands unwillingly.

"We don't know if there are any bugs here, so please speak softly." I straightened my clothes. "If there were any bugs, our names would have been exposed. You know the consequences."

"I..." Conan was speechless.

"Okay, calm down first. Let me finish this." I straightened my clothes again. "I'm going to continue fighting. If someone comes looking for you later, tell them you're not going anywhere and will wait for me here." As I spoke, I handed Conan an ordinary pistol without a fingerprint code. "Hold it to calm the situation. You don't have to shoot. Remember to be professional when you shoot. Of course, I have no objection if you are willing to shoot and kill a few people." Without stopping, I handed the gun to Conan and walked out.

"You don't mind shooting a few people?" Conan frowned. "Did he want to kill people from the beginning?" While thinking, Conan was about to rush out to stop me. But just after taking a step, he stopped again. Because he realized that he couldn't move. If he really rushed out, he would say or do something to Xun. Maybe both of them would not be able to leave alive.

At this moment, Conan was confused. He was really confused. He was bound in this VIP room, and he could do nothing except waiting for Kaoru to come back to him after the fight. Because that kind of bondage was called death. It was the threat of death brought to him by the black world that he had always wanted to resist but had no power to refute. Conan knew that he had fallen into the trap. He had fallen into Kaoru's trap, because here, whatever he said was nonsense, and here, Kaoru could do anything. But he could not blame Kaoru at all, because this was Kaoru's world, the black world where he had always wanted to find out the truth. Buying yin, selling drugs, gambling. Murder. He saw it all here, but he could do nothing. He didn't know how to describe that feeling of powerlessness. So he sat back on the sofa. He stared at the ring with dull eyes, waiting for Kaoru who was still fighting below.

"Promotion match. Round eight, Conan Doyle wins!"

"Semi-finals, fourth round, Conan Doyle wins!"

"Semi-finals, second round, Conan Doyle wins!"

"Final! Conan Doyle wins! Congratulations to Conan Doyle for becoming the champion of today's competition! Please take a break and prepare for the next challenge against the defending champion, 'The Butcher'!"

oh! ! ! ! !
The audience was excited. Yes, after the first match, the audience began to buy Xun's victory. And all along, without exception, all of them were killed in one hit. Therefore, Xun's betting odds also dropped from a high odds of 1 to 10 to 1 to 1. If King Cobra had not decisively adjusted the odds of the ring, perhaps he would have lost hundreds of millions of yen today.

After a round of cheers, the audience finally welcomed the highlight of the night, the one-month defending champion, the Butcher, and the dark horse, Conan Doyle. Not only that, King Cobra also set new rules for the game. The bets for the next championship challenge start from one million, and the betting odds change according to the amount of the bet. The game will not start until the bets are counted, and the two people on the stage are no longer betting on winning or losing. Instead, they are betting on life and death!
