The next day!!
In the resting room!
A staff member walked excitedly to the door and said, "Si...Sir, I have a report for you, about that child!"
"Come in!"
Only after being given permission did he push the door open and walk in…
The man sitting on the sofa took off his glasses and asked, "You just said you have something to report about that child?"
The staff member nodded vigorously, "Yes, Sir!!"
He sneered, "Heh... I knew I wasn't wrong, that brat actually thought he could participate in multiple duels, probably losing every single one and slinking away defeated!!"
"I even thought that with a Titled Douluo with him, he had some great abilities!!"
The staff member swallowed hard, "Si...Sir, the child didn't lose; on the contrary, he performed exceptionally well in yesterday's duel!!"
"Now, he has become the dark horse of our arena, extremely popular!!"
The man shot up from his seat and demanded loudly, "Wha... What? He didn't lose?? Didn't we arrange several powerful Soul Kings in a row??"
Upon hearing this, the staff carefully responded, "Yes... that's correct, but he defeated them all, and it was a crushing defeat!!"
The man gripped the wine glass on the table, smashed it to the ground, and scolded furiously, "Such a bunch of failures, they couldn't even defeat a child!!"
However, this puzzled the staff member, who couldn't help but inquire, "Um...Sir, why do you seem so angry? That child's many victories have made us a lot of money and attention for our arena!!"
"If this continues, he might become famous across the entire Sea God's Island!!"
The man glared at him fiercely and snapped, "Shut up, do you think I haven't thought of that?? Or are you trying to teach me how to do my job??"
The staff member bowed his head, choosing not to provoke him further, "Th... The subordinate dares not!!"
"Tat-tat-tat!!"
Just then, a sudden knocking...
Xu Sheng and Gui Mei walked in one after another...
Upon seeing them, the man's face changed immediately...
Smiling, he said, "Please take a seat. I've already heard about yesterday's event, you won magnificently, truly living up to my expectations!!"
Gui Mei arched an eyebrow and pretended to misunderstand, "Oh?? But just now outside, I seem to have heard some discordant voices; could it have been my imagination??"
At this remark, the former quickly realized, and turned to the staff next to him, "Are you tired of your job?? How dare you discuss these esteemed guests' affairs on your own!"
The staff member was flabbergasted, pointed to himself, and subconsciously wanted to explain...
But under that fierce glare, he had to swallow his words...
"Yes, Sir, I was wrong; I dare not discuss the esteemed guests on my own!"
The man continued, "Since you know you're wrong, then why haven't you scrammed?!"
He then turned his extremely amiable gaze back to Gui Mei and the other person, awkwardly smiled, and said, "Please forgive these subordinates for their lack of proportion, and don't lower yourselves to their level!"
Gui Mei just clicked his tongue in response...
Xu Sheng chose to ignore all this and said calmly, "Since you already know about my consecutive wins yesterday, you must be clear about what to do next, right?"
"After all, the arena has made a fortune because of it!!"
The former responded without hesitation, "Of course, of course, you have brought such great profits to our arena—I cannot thank you enough!"
"Naturally, if you have any conditions, feel free to mention them; the arena will do its best to meet them!!"
No matter what, the other party was now a money tree, and he would spare no expense to retain it!
In this way, there's no fear of him being poached by the other arenas!
Xu Sheng had been waiting for this moment, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly into a smile...
"Good, then I will stay and participate in duels at the arena!"
"As for you, your task is very simple, that is to arrange battles for me."
"Of course, the battles are not limited to this arena, but with all the arenas on Sea God's Island!"
With just a few sentences, the man was so frightened that he stepped back one or two steps, "You... you mean, you want to challenge everyone from all the arenas by yourself??"
Although the other had defeated so many Soul King level experts yesterday, there was always someone better out there!
Wanting to challenge all the Soul Masters of all the arenas was a bit too arrogant!
"You can think of it that way, correct. As for the soul power rank, there's no need to limit it to Soul King; whether it's Soul Emperor or Soul Sage, there's no problem!"
The man fell silent for a moment, but his mind kept echoing with voices...
"He's gone mad, this guy must have lost his mind, to do such a thing relying on his own strength!"
"Does he not understand what modesty is??"
Just when the other was hesitant, Gui Mei reminded him coldly, "Don't worry, with his strength, he won't lose to any Soul Master in any arena. This could be a great opportunity to make a lot of money!"
"If you can't seize it, there are other arenas!"
Hearing this, the former hesitated no longer and spoke earnestly, "Alright! I agree!"
"You make money for me, and I will invite other arena's Soul Masters to come and fight!"
If this plan succeeded, the arena he managed would be unrivalled!
By then, he would be in the limelight!
As for losing, the worst the arena would suffer would be a loss of reputation; it was the two of them who would really be in trouble!
This answer was naturally within Xu Sheng's expectations. He immediately reached out his hand and said, "A wise choice, then I hope we have a pleasant cooperation!"
The man was about to make a move, but then, it seemed he thought of something else...
"Wait a moment, let me make it clear first, if something happens to you during the battle, the arena will not be responsible!"
The other had a significant background; if he happened to die here, the consequences would be troublesome!
It was essential to clarify this first!
Xu Sheng was noncommittal, "Naturally, whether I live or die, it will be my personal responsibility!"
Yet the man did not fully trust Xu Sheng and took out a document from under the table...
"Words are no proof; it's better to sign a written agreement. That way, both of us can be at ease, right?"
Gui Mei chuckled, "You're truly cautious, but that's also necessary; if you didn't have some tricks up your sleeve, you wouldn't be able to run an arena!"
This was no different from the arenas in the Tiandou Empire...
The man coughed and didn't explain much further, "I'm just a businessman, only interested in making money, not looking to cause any serious trouble. Please understand that!"
