[Episode 18]

That person is the one.

I heard that he...

What do you guys think?

Am I right?

What's up with you, Brother Chu?

The guy just now...

Let the challenge begin!

Fight! Beat him down!

Great!

Brother Chu, does the one with short hair have the edge over the other?

Damn! Who are you referring to?

The one with long hair will certainly be the winner!

Try saying that again!

Brother Chu, which one is an Undergrounder?

I am not deaf!

Hit him! Beat him!

Brother Lin Jing said... the stick will...

It's normal to have no reactions.

Both of them are normal people. We chose the wrong time to search here.

Brother Chu, do we need to come again tomorrow?

I want to challenge the King of the Arena!

King of the Arena will defend his title only once a month.

He won't show up now.

Wild Fire! I know you are here watching us every day. Fight me or you are a coward!

If you are that capable, come out and fight with me!

He must think you are weak and unchallenging.

Wild Fire! Come out!

According to what he said, if the fighter in the arena is strong enough

or the fight is highly expected by the audiences,

it's possible for the current King of the Arena to come out and defend his crown.

But the winner just now is the strongest already.

Let's try his skills then.

Brother Chu, come back!

I will fight with you.

Come back please, Brother Chu! Judge!

What's he's doing is against the rules, isn't it?

In the underground arena, once you step on the stage,

you must finish the game. Winning is the only rule.

If I win,

I will challenge him on your behalf.

You?

Another brave warrior has been born!

Am I qualified to challenge the King of the Arena?

Am I qualified to challenge the King of the Arena!

You are!

It's you.

I accept your challenge.

I want to find out whether you are able

to protect your friends as you said.

Whoever wins, takes the belt!

For the sake of fairness,

both of you will be provided with an hour break.

Let's wait for another exciting duel!

I sent him there to find Undergrounders, not to fight with people under the spotlight.

Stop explaining for him! If you fail, I will fire the both of you.

Old Chu always does such risky things.

Without any concept of a team or rule. He never respects me as a chief!

So are you.

Well, I almost forgot.

You, who sits in front of me is his great backer.

If it was not you who absolved his penalty and brought him to Special Investigations,

he would still be doing his penal labor in the Underworld.

You are the only one he respects in the world.

To be honest, back then I send him here

to be my spy.

You think I didn't notice that?

But Chu is unsociable and kind of grumpy,

and you are not a base person.

You surely will not do anything bad.

So, I just turned a blind eye to him.

Then, does it mean you will not blame me for this incident?

This incident?

It doesn't exist.

Kidding aside,

but I really want to see Old Chu's expression when he learns your true identity.

I know you are stronger than me,

I beg you, please beat him up later.

He is an asshole!

You have grudges against him?

This guy is a beastly hypocrite.

Seemingly, he cares for the newcomers,

but he actually tries hard to make them lose the competition.

Carbonated drinks are not good for your health. Drink less.

Here.

My brother was cheated by him.

In the end...

Xiaojie...

I am here, Jie. Wake up, please.

It's me. It's my fault! Please wake up.

He committed suicide.

Can you understand my feeling? I feel powerless.

If what you said is true, I will take vengeance on him for you.

Come! Come bet!

I bet Wild Fire is gonna win...

- Must be Wild Fire... he never loses... - Trust me...

Wait here. Be careful.

Brother Chu...

This one! This one!

Put your bet!

Why are you just standing there? Come and gamble on the duel.

Come on, come on.

Is this compulsory?

Of course, we all did.

Who do you think is going to win?

I choose the newcomer.

Are you stupid?

I am sure about it.

We start from 100¥

Wait!

What's wrong again?

Regretting it, right?

Are you kidding? Only ¥1?

Leave him. Let's go to watch the fight. See how Wild Fire will torture the newbie!

Fight!!

The fight begins!

Do you know why I am called Wild Fire?

So, that's the reason.

Don't misunderstand. I am not worried about him!

Little Guo is too weak to help out. Chu is still my subordinate after all.

It should be very normal for me to see what happens, right?

You don't have to explain.

The reason you are who you are is probably because of this.

Then, is it good or bad?

Brother Chu, come down! Let's leave here!

Brother Chu!

Please stand up!

You said you were going to avenge my little brother! Stand up!

Brother Chu!

Fight! Fight!

Because of him, we will lose our money!

Beat him!

Squat down!

Chief Zhao, he's gone.

Find the boss of this arena!

They would know this was not a real gun if anyone had come close to us just now.

We welcome all fighters, but I didn't expect this to happen today.

They are welcomed? But they also never managed to get out from here, correct?

From the records, lots of young people mysteriously disappeared after they came here.

They are just young ruffians without relatives.

They just stroll on the street or play in the mud every day.

Do I need to be responsible for them if they are dead one day?

Watch your language.

Bro, be magnanimous. Let's make a friend.

Who is your friend?

Chief Zhao, he is a witness. He and Wild Fire—

I know.

- Bro, where do you come from? - What do you mean?

Go back wherever you came from.

Both of you will be stuck on revenge as parity can never be achieved. You're not his equal.

Thanks.

Trying to leave?

If I remember it right, I never met you.

But I know you.

I have been waiting for this chance for two years. It's time for you to pay me back.

Two years?

I really have no idea what you're talking about.

Still pretending?

What did you do to Xiaojie? He admired you so much!

It's you who made him fall from limitless hope to eternal disappointment.

Xiaojie?

Carbonated drinks are not good for your health. Drink less.

Here.

Brother Fire!

Please let me win the game tonight!

What are you doing?!

Brother, it's okay for you to lose one round,

but I need the money. I must get the prize.

Do you know what you are talking about?

Brother Fire, you were always caring to us newbies.

They all said that your face is scary, but I'm not afraid! I know that you're a good guy.

Please, I beg you!

The fight starts now!

Wild Fire wins! He has successfully defended his crown!

Wild Fire! Wild Fire!

Wild Fire! Wild Fire!

The future superstar of the arena?

Where's the prize you promised?

We have given you enough respect.

Could you please... give me more time?

Beat him!

Piss off!

Sorry.

I didn't know the reward was so important to you. I just didn't want you to—

I accept your apology, but I will never forgive you.

Well, you guys look similar.

But history is written by the victors. And victory comes from one's ability.

Your brother should never beg for victory.

Why? Did he send you to avenge him?

You have no idea what he had been struggling with.

You are a murderer.

He came here for the rewards,

but you tricked him and killed his last hope.

He wrote them down in his letter.

Brother, I am useless. Just for our family, you worked hard and got into a car accident.

I couldn't even make enough money to treat you,

and I'm even making you suffer from debts as well.

I am so ashamed to face you. I can only go on ahead.

When you see this letter, your useless brother has left this world.

My only hope is to beat you up and seek vengeance for him.

I only learned of this after listening to your story today.

But he would be happy to see you alive, if he were here.

You are still mocking me.

I will make you pay for it today.

I am indeed sorry for what happened to Xiaojie,

but do you know how to fight?

I can't win, but we can die together.

Your body will be burned like your face.

My face was burned by myself, with my own fire.

Who are you?

Leave quickly.

I am so honored to meet you here, Black Robe Envoy.

Whether for official or private reasons, please just go back with me.

Sorry, I can't yet.

Hey, I get overtime pay for being in the field at this time.

Old Chu gave us this golden belt and asked us to follow you here.

And it's such a surprise to see you both stunned here.

See, I am indispensable.

Stop talking nonsense. Locate his position now.

- Okay. - Can they find him?

They can for sure. Although he is lazy and invents tons of rubbish,

his ability on dark energy research is tremendous.

Boss, why can't you praise me in front of Professor Shen?

Shut up and focus on your work.

He deliberately avoided this road for no reason

and chose the right side.

I got something. Boss, look.

But there's a new problem. We found another crowd of dark energy

on the left side 1000 meters away from here.

The one on the right who keeps moving is that Undergrounder we're chasing.

I guess the left one should be their camp.

Then, let's split up. You two go left,

and we'll go right.

Okay.

Such a huge house. This is his house?

Are you sure? By himself, living in such a big house?

My science never fails.

It must be here.

- So weird, does he keep lots of cats inside?- Maybe.

I was right following you people. This is his house.

I lost, but I have to thank you for giving me a chance to fight with you.

What's your relationship with Zhu Jiu?

Zhu Jiu?

You don't know him?

That's good news.

Then, we just need to chat when we go back.

Wait.

I have a request before I go with you.

Boss Zhou, they are clearing the crowd.

- It's okay. Just let them be. Go back first and close the door.- Okay.

Who?

Brother Jiu, they are already suspecting me.

I can't run my business now. Let's end our business as well.

Do you know why I like you?

You are shameless when you earn money.

You have no conscience.

But why are you frightened now? I am disappointed.

Can you help me then?

I can abandon my pride and my conscience,

but he wants me to die!

You still have the remote now. Destroy the evidence when necessary.

Who are you?

You humans always like to listen to secrets.

Brother Jiu, please, he's my buddy!

Sorry, my hands are more nimble than my ears.

Will you blame me?

I won't. I won't.

Humans are cowards and useless. But thinking about it,

why must I still have a useless being like you around?

Brother Jiu...

Sorry, I am too anxious.

We are leaving now. Is anyone in the room?

They must have fallen into a trap.

Yes?

What? They were killed like that in broad daylight？

Are you useless or stupid?

Figure out what to do by yourself!

What's wrong?

- I have a premonition. - Hey!

Release Wild Fire now, and prepare us a car!

Or else, I will kill the three hostages.

I knew it.

You young guys,

should be studying in school right now...

What are you doing?

Getting something. Help me take it out. It's in my pocket.

As an old saying goes, education is provided for all people without discrimination.

It's such a pity...

Wow, our professor is sympathetic again?

Last time when I went to tour the Underworld, I heard that it doesn't even have a school.

I advised and requested, but all were rejected.

Because you didn't put yourself into their shoes.

Next time, I will be your mediator.

Next time? Last time you went there, you already had serious adverse reactions.

You can't go there again if it's not necessary.

Yep. What's this?

My new invention. It allows me to hear sound from thousands of meters away.

This way, we can hear what they are talking about now.

Rubbish.

Shut up! Just quickly put it in my ear.

If it's not necessary? That means I still have a chance.

- You can't go. - I can.

If I say that you can't go, you can't go.

Are you guys listening to me?

Not that we are ignoring you, we have to think about your request, right?

How about this, let this person talk to you?

Brother Wild Fire? Are you okay?

Don't be stupid. I did wrong, so I have to go back and accept my punishment.

Don't learn from me. Release them now.

I promise they won't hurt you.

- You are lying! You have been captured by them!- Brother Fire, I know that you're being forced to do this!

Sorry, please forgive them. I didn't teach them well.

We will. But you have to tell us what your relationship is with them?

He is our savior!

Another hero has been born!

Nice fight.

Brother Fire, you are here, too.

See, I told you I would surpass you someday.

New winner? So great. I said before that you would be the second strongest after Wild Fire.

Brother Fire.

Keep working hard, too. You can also be the next king.

- Say thank you to your Brother Fire. - Thanks, Brother Fire.

Come here. I have something to tell you.

- You can leave first. - Okay.

Wait for another round of exciting fighting!

Boss Zhou, you...

You will know it in the next life.

Boss Zhou, you need to speed up your supply now.

I can't do much about it.

Your requirement is set too high.

You only want those young and energetic boys.

I have to carefully choose them one by one and send them to you.

This boy has some friends. I will keep my eye on them.

If they meet your requirement, I will certainly deliver them to you.

You are the most promising one among mankind.

Looking forward to a good cooperation

Go!

As I expected, it has something to do with Zhu Jiu again.

Then?

He's definitely not a normal human.

Those boys are not safe there.

Some were sent home by me, and some chose to work in another city.

These remaining two chose to follow me.

Take this, and find a good job.

Take it.

You are our savior. We want to stay by your side.

We have nowhere to go.

Wait for us to find a decent job and we'll repay you afterward.

Since I saved lots of them, Boss Zhou started to suspect me,

so I had to change my method.

Rather than letting these talented kids succeed and be targeted by Boss Zhou,

why don't I kill their chance from the start?

I started to use my supernatural power to win the fight.

Because I was able to successively defend my crown, I gathered a large audience and fans. For profit reasons, Boss Zhou couldn't bear to fire me.

Nonsense.

Based on what he said, he even became Xiaojie's savior?

Be quiet.

Hey! You better behave! What's in your ear?

Nothing. Nothing!

I have told you all my secrets.

I know that you're here to take me back. But these kids are too young.

Please forgive them.

What are you doing Brother Fire? We have hostages. We have the advantage!

What did I just say?

You should go back to study in school!

Do you think we were just talking nonsense here without any preparation?

Brother Chu!

That's nice.

Finish talking?

Do you have anything else to share?

I know I can't escape this time as Black Robe Envoy is strict and impartial.

Well, we can't be sure. There's this Zheng Yi last time—

The Underworld has its own rules.

To save those teenagers, you exposed yourself by using your power,

thus I can absolve you from punishment

as you are not hurting people but saving them.

You should leave the city as soon as possible.

I'm worried that Zhu Jiu may find you if you stay here.

But those kids...

No worries. We will also find a place for them to settle down.

Old Chu. Little Guo. Take them out of the city to a safe place immediately.

It's urgent. Don't mess it up or you will lose you bonuses at the end of the year.

You can forget your past and move forward with your life now once you've left Dragon City.

Why are you giving me back the golden belt?

Although I won, you deserve the belt more than anyone else

as you saved so many ordinary people.

Thank you. I do envy you.

You are able to live a carefree life here.

Of course. But my boss is a bastard that's so full of himself.

Old Chu!

Take him out of the city as well.

It seems like everything is under my control. Amazing.

I think this is called "Joy surfeited turns to sorrow."

Boss gave us three missions.

First, gather all the Sacred Items.

Second, supply him with fresh energy from young humans.

-Third— - Enough!

This wound is getting deeper. I don't have much time.

If I'm to do something, it should be something grand.
