Chapter 2111 — Trying to Steal a Chicken Only to Lose the Rice

"What kind of nonsense is this? What are you talking about? What dead man?" Old Master Zhao was stunned for a moment, but then he looked toward the formation and saw that the Fire Wolf Gang disciple was still sitting cross-legged inside it without moving, and had not come out at all!
Previously, everyone had only cared about who would take the championship, and had neglected that disciple's situation. It was only now that they discovered the problem!
"You raised the pressure and crushed that Fire Wolf Gang disciple to death. I was quite puzzled—I thought you had deliberately wanted to kill him. But I never expected it was just a contest within the competition. There's nothing to be done; his skills were inferior, so he died, and that's that!" Wei Zhao said. "Since he's dead, the championship should be mine, shouldn't it?"
"This..." Old Master Zhao's face immediately darkened. He had not expected such a situation to arise!
An Mingyue, who was just about to collect the winnings of the bet, also stopped in her tracks and turned quickly toward the Fire Wolf Gang disciple in the formation. One look and her expression changed drastically. She fixed Old Master Zhao with a cold stare: "Old Master Zhao, what is the meaning of this? I have never heard that the rules allowed anyone to raise the pressure on a whim!"
The pressure had been agreed upon beforehand and was supposed to remain unchanged throughout, which was precisely why the Fire Wolf Gang had sent out a bio-engineered man—a test subject created by Dr. Yin's junior fellow disciple. Naturally, his pressure resistance far exceeded that of an ordinary person. But he was only a test subject, after all; there was no way he could withstand pressure without limit!
It was just that under the pressure, the test subject did not feel pain. After the contest ended, this bio-engineered man would in fact be considered a cripple, but he absolutely would not die! Now, Old Master Zhao and the others had suddenly raised the pressure without authorization and killed the bio-engineered man. Naturally, An Mingyue was displeased, fury rising in her heart!
Back then, the talk had been so pleasant—they said the Fire Wolf Gang was the local strongman here, and that they ought to be given a share of the benefits too. That was why An Mingyue had deliberated for a long time before coming up with the idea of using this bio-engineered man to compete in the pressure-resistance contest. After all, this bio-engineered man was a person remade through drugs, devoid of will and thought. If left inside the formation, no matter how much pain he suffered, he would never come out on his own.
But now he was dead. How could a dead man claim a prize? A dead man meant that an accident had occurred during the contest, that his qualification was automatically revoked—let alone that he could win!
"Mr. An, this matter was indeed not made clear by us beforehand. My apologies. We will bear your losses!" Old Master Yu said after drawing a deep breath.
At this moment, he had no choice but to compromise and placate An Mingyue. An Mingyue himself was someone they could afford to offend—a family that was not even one of the five minor families. Would a hidden family fear him? But An Mingyue was not representing the An family now; he was representing the Fire Wolf Gang!
The Fire Wolf Gang was a transcendent faction. Although it had only been established in recent years, it was filled with masters, and even the ancient sects dared not offend them! It could be said that the Fire Wolf Gang also possessed several experts of Heaven-rank strength!
