    Wang Yun stood quietly to the side, saying nothing. He simply observed his surroundings in silence. He needed to remember every detail. So that later, he could recount everything clearly.

    Faced with Baren’s apology, Colin responded with nothing more than a cold snort.

    Wang Yun remained where he was, calm and silent.

    ***

    Meanwhile, Wang Yun’s livestream chat had already exploded with activity.

    “Ah! My god, what am I even looking at?”

    “This place is gorgeous! The wall carvings look so real!”

    “Doesn’t anyone feel suffocated looking at this environment?”

    “Yeah! There are angel decorations on the ground around the cage. What’s that supposed to mean?”

    “Angels? Could that represent redemption?”

    “That cage… they’re not actually using it for people to fight in, right??”

    “Holy shit… these people can’t be that inhuman, can they?!”

    “Wait—Big Brother actually agreed to fight in there!!”

    “No! Big Brother, don’t go into that cage!!!”

    “These people are disgusting! A humiliating cage paired with angels??”

    “Shameless!”

    “Thinking about it, winning something like this probably comes with a huge payout. It’s humiliating, sure, but for people who really need money… maybe it is a kind of redemption?”

    Some agreed. Others still rejected the idea. And just like that, a new round of debate began.

    ***

    Back on Baren’s side, seeing the two men remain silent, he began to panic.

    Sweat instantly beaded across his forehead as he hurried to apologize again in a low voice.

    “I’m really sorry I didn’t tell you in advance, but I truly had no way out. Aside from you two, I couldn’t find anyone else capable of fighting in this match. If I don’t win at least once this year, my establishment will be swallowed up by that damn fat bastard.”

    As he finished speaking, Baren’s face turned ashen.

    He had already made a bet with Walter.

    If he lost again this year, he would hand over his business.

    And if Walter lost, not only would he return the jade pendant, but he would also transfer all of his entertainment venue shares in Mu City to Baren.

    Walter was a well-known local tyrant in Mu City. The entertainment venues under his name were his most profitable assets.

    Who wouldn’t be tempted by that?

    Moreover, the contract Colin had signed was still in Baren’s hands. He wasn’t afraid Colin would refuse.

    But plans never keep up with reality.

    Unexpected complications kept piling up.

    He hadn’t anticipated Wang Yun’s appearance. Nor had he expected that they were participating in a program—and that everything was being livestreamed.

    Although after entering this place, all signals had been blocked.

    Which meant that only the viewers who saw the moment Wang Yun first entered had caught a glimpse of this place.

    Now, Wang Yun’s livestream was nothing but static. There was no sound either.

    The production team was frantically trying to identify the issue.

    Wang Yun himself, however, had no idea.

    At this moment, the entire production crew was in chaos because of his stream.

    Director Zhou stared at the static-filled screen, deep in thought. He recalled what Wang Yun had told him about having a way to bring Colin out and nullify his contract.

    Could it be that Wang Yun had taken Colin’s place in the fight?

    Now that Wang Yun had gone completely offline, he couldn’t help but think in that direction.

    Director Zhou quickly pulled up Colin’s livestream. The feed was the same as Wang Yun’s. Nothing but static, no sound at all.

    Zhou let out a sigh and told his assistant to inform the technicians to stop. There must be signal-blocking equipment over there. No matter how hard they tried here, it would be useless. The only thing they could do now was wait.

    Wait for Wang Yun to contact them himself.

    Back in the arena, Wang Yun looked at Baren’s despairing expression and suddenly let out a soft laugh.

    “Pfft! Mr. Baren, you’re a big boss. What’s with that expression? Are you really that short on money?” he teased.

    Baren still looked miserable.

    “Brother Wang Yun, please, don’t joke with me right now.”

    At this moment, Baren practically wanted to bang his head against a wall.

    If he had known things would turn out like this, he would have told Wang Yun everything from the start.

    Why wait until they were already here, only for the other party to refuse?

    And he couldn’t force them to fight either.

    Coercion wouldn’t work. Temptation hadn’t worked. Baren had no idea what else he could do to persuade this great master to fight on his behalf.

    Just as he was racking his brain, a voice that sounded like heavenly music reached his ears.

    “I never said I wouldn’t fight. Why are you making that face?” Wang Yun said with a smile.

    Baren felt as if he had been reborn. His face lit up with joy.

    “Brother Wang Yun, is that true?”

    Wang Yun nodded slightly.

    Before Baren could fully react, Wang Yun continued, “I can fight. But I have conditions.”

    At this moment, Baren’s mind was filled with just one thought—Wang Yun had agreed to fight. He didn’t even care what conditions Wang Yun might have. He agreed without hesitation.

    “Brother Wang Yun, whatever you want, just say it! I’ll make it happen!”

    But Wang Yun shook his head.

    “You’d better hear my conditions first before agreeing.”
