Chapter 333: Tycoon Long Fu Enters the Dueling Arena
Snow Bird Harbor.
“Have you heard? The Snow Pearl theft case from back then was the work of the Bayonet Gang!”
“The fire at the Nightingale Dress Shop was also their doing, and the victims have already filed a complaint with the city government palace.”
“The previous city Lord had planned to reduce taxes, but the Bayonet Gang bribed officials to secretly resist it.”
“How many evil deeds have these damn guys done?!”
“They are the termites of Snow Bird Harbor.”
“It's no wonder that the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps was attacked before. It must have been their doing.”
"In my opinion, there's not a single good thing about gangs. I wish Commander Long Fu could give Teng Dong Lang a good beating!"
“I wish that too, but Commander Long Fu is only a silver level fighter.”
"Even if he loses, I still support him and the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps! Because he is the first fighter in recent years to openly oppose the Bayonet Gang!"
“That's right.”
“That's so true!”
Similar comments were heard constantly in the streets and alleys of Snow Bird Harbor.
While the dragonman youngster was secretly training under the pretext of recovering from his injuries, the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord was not idle either. He secretly distributed a lot of evidence of crimes and manipulated public opinion.
For the Bayonet Gang, public opinion in Snow Bird Harbor suddenly turned against them.
The upper echelons, including Bing Xiao and Teng Dong Lang, sensed that something was wrong and actively investigated, but saw no results in the short term.
The former and current gang leaders discussed the matter.
“Could it be Bu Quan's doing?”
"Before I went to negotiate with the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps, she publicly boarded the Love Triangle. She must have given Long Fu a lot of evidence."
“Hasn't Long Fu already reached a preliminary agreement with us?”
“So, these rumors and frame-ups are more likely to have been secretly spread by Bu Quan herself?”
“I’ve always said that that snow elf is trouble. She’s been secretly investigating us and collecting evidence of our crimes. We should find a way to eliminate her!”
“I’ve tried, but she’s an alchemy great master and a member of the Alchemy Guild. That operation failed, and we received a severe warning.”
“Talking about this now is pointless. We can’t act against Bu Quan either. The whole of Snow Bird Harbor is watching us. I spoke with the city Lord not long ago, and he also warned me not to act rashly."
When the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord was mentioned, Bing Xiao's face darkened.
“This guy really has a big appetite. We paid so much to get him to back down and stay out of this.”
"Be patient. His term is almost over, and he's about to leave. Overall, he's not bad, unlike his predecessor who had a lot of opinions about our Bayonet Gang. All he wants now is peace and quiet. He doesn't want any blemishes on his record during the last days of his term."
“Let's just take note of this incident for now. Once the commotion is over, we'll settle the score with Bu Quan!”
After deliberation, the two gang leaders decided to hold their horses.
They didn't make any big moves, and the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord was happy to wait quietly for the right moment.
The surface of Snow Bird Harbor was calm, but in reality, there were turbulent undercurrents.
Two days later, the dragonman youngster suddenly announced that his injuries had healed.
The Bayonet Gang immediately responded, and the remaining three ringleaders simultaneously announced their defeat.
When the public heard this news, they were mostly excited.
The duel between the dragonman youngster and Teng Dong Lang was just around the corner.
As a result, after learning of the Bayonet Gang's response, the dragonman youngster publicly announced that afternoon that he was willing to fight Teng Dong Lang as soon as possible.
Teng Dong Lang immediately proposed, “Why don't we fight tonight?”
The Bayonet Gang's situation was getting worse and worse, so Teng Dong Lang was eager to resolve the predicament.
After hearing this proposal, the dragonman youngster immediately agreed.
Just like that, before the crowd could even react, the two parties reached an agreement, making this heroic duel, which was the focus of everyone's attention, come much sooner than anyone expected.
The location of the duel was still the Snow Bird Dueling Arena.
This was the largest arena in Snow Bird Harbor, with comprehensive facilities and the largest capacity for spectators.
It was the second time the dragonman youngster had been here.
He found that the arena was completely full. Not only that, but even the aisles were crowded with people.
In fact, there were still many spectators who could only gather outside the arena.
There, there was also a live broadcast of the event via magic images.
It was the first time in more than 20 years that Snow Bird Harbor had seen such a spectacular duel.
“Come on, Commander Long Fu!”
“Even if you can't win, make Teng Dong Lang suffer!”
“Let him taste your iron fist, Commander Long Fu.”
When the dragonman youngster walked into the arena wearing a hooded robe, the audience in the stands cheered and shouted.
Even the audience outside the arena was noisy.
As the local tyrant, Teng Dong Lang also had the support of the Bayonet Gang members. But even though the latter waved their flags and shouted, their momentum was far inferior to the crowd cheering for the dragonman youngster.
“The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps has only been here for a few days, and they already have such momentum. If they continue to develop, what room will there be for our Bayonet Gang?” Bing Xiao, in the VIP viewing room, had a gloomy look on his face.
At this moment, he felt a huge threat from the dragonman youngster.
Also in the room were leaders such as Xiong Ju, Ban Lan Gen, and Spring Boxer.
Their eyes were all focused on the dragonman youngster.
When the dragonman youngster walked to the center of the arena and removed the hooded robe covering his entire body, the entire arena suddenly erupted with a buzz.
“Look at his equipment!” Seeing the dragonman youngster in the magic image, the human ringleader cried out in surprise.
The dragonman youngster was wearing silver level leather armor and boots, and silver level arm guards.
The Ice Sculpture Kingdom had a ban on armor, which targeted gold level and above armor, but silver level was not included in the ban.
This equipment was not difficult to obtain.
Just like in the last duel, the dragonman youngster also brought two silver level crossbows. They were spoils of war obtained by the survivors on Mystifying Monster Island.
Compared to these, the other equipment on the dragonman youngster was even more eye-catching.
He wore the Ice Heart Headband, huge ski goggles over his eyes, an orange-gold nose ring, and pink metal earrings on both ears. His forearms and calves each had bracelets and anklets.
On his chest was a Dragon's Reverse Scale badge.
A blue ice pack hung from his belt.
On the dragonman youngster's back, there was also a longbow and a pair of short spears.
All of the above equipment exuded a gold level aura.
"More than ten pieces of gold level equipment?!" Bing Xiao couldn't sit still and stood up immediately.
“I... I...” Ban Lan Gen stammered, wanting to curse.
Compared to the battle with Xiong Ju earlier, the dragonman youngster was fully equipped from head to toe, transforming from a commoner to a tycoon. The difference was huge and out of everyone's expectation.
