Chapter 2120 — Endless Sighs

And that Fire Wolf Gang disciple had probably already died! Old Master You knew perfectly well what the Fire Wolf Gang was up to: they had simply produced a few hypnotized puppets injected with biochemical serum. Relying on the drugs, the puppet feared neither death nor pain, clinging to a single breath. Once the drug's effect wore off, it would surely die!
Such sinister methods bore some resemblance to the Tomorrow and Tomorrow Sect, so even though their contestant had died, no one dared bring it up again. Thus the Fire Wolf Gang's hold on third place was unassailable!
Yet just because these people did not question it did not mean no one would! A cold voice rang out: "The Fire Wolf Gang truly does things with remarkable originality—sending a puppet-like figure up to compete. By now he is probably dead, isn't he? How laughable!"
"The victor is king and the loser a bandit. Wei Zhao, why do you have so much to say? He died after the fact—what business is it of yours?" An Mingyue was furious, yet he truly did not dare do anything to Wei Zhao. His own nephew had been beaten to death by Wei Zhao, his son's leg had been broken, and even the Fire Wolf Gang's peak late Earth Rank fighters did not dare touch Wei Zhao—so what could An Mingyue do? He could only say flatly: "The tournament rules state that so long as one takes the challenge, it counts. Did they ever say a man cannot die afterward?"
Wei Zhao had only spoken up because he found that You family disciple somewhat pitiful. But if he were truly asked to stand up for the disciple, Wei Zhao had no interest in doing so. Even if he dragged the Fire Wolf Gang down from third place and put the hidden You family in their stead, Wei Zhao would not gain a single cent from it.
"Very well. Since there are no problems, let these three families come up to the stage and collect their stakes!" said Old Master Zhao.
Wei Zhao collected his stakes and glanced at those of the Fire Wolf Gang and the Golden Bell Sect. The Golden Bell Sect's stake was the same as before, and Wei Zhao had no interest in it whatsoever. But what the Fire Wolf Gang had put up this time was a bottle of serum...
"What is this serum?" Wei Zhao asked. When registering, An Mingyue had only written it down as "Serum 01," with no explanation of what it was.
"A serum that can make a person instantly powerful. Do you want it?" An Mingyue said without betraying any emotion. Precious as it was, the serum was a harmful thing. It could indeed make a person instantly powerful, but the side effects afterward were equally obvious—just like those Fire Wolf Gang disciples before. During the match they feared neither pain nor death, their potential pushed to the limit; but once the match ended, they could not escape a fate of death!
An Mingyue hated Wei Zhao to the bone, so naturally he would not explain too much.
"Oh, sounds rather good. Give it to me." With that, Wei Zhao casually pulled a rather useless natural treasure from his own stakes and tossed it to An Mingyue, trading it for that Serum 01.
"No problem!" An Mingyue completed the exchange with Wei Zhao readily. That natural treasure was worth far more to An Mingyue than the Serum 01, so he was naturally delighted.
Serum 01? Wei Zhao sneered inwardly. He had a fairly good guess as to what this thing really was!
