There were many people on the first floor of the building, as well as security guards guarding the entrance to the arena . It seemed like they had finished checking everyone’s tickets .

Di Jiu performed the Invisibility Dharmic Spell he had just learned . Although he was not able to become completely invisible, this was enough to keep the security guards from spotting him .

Di Jiu slipped past the security personnel and walked down the sloping passageway towards the arena .

He could already feel the excitement in the air as he walked down the path . The crowd was cheering consistently, and he could see the progress of the match clearly as he got closer to the arena .

Two muscular men were standing in the ring, taking turns hitting each other . Di Jiu took a quick glance at them before looking away indifferently .

The arena had a circular layout, and he was currently standing right in the middle of the circle . How was he going to locate Jia Qian?

“May I help you?” A man in a black tuxedo walked towards Di Jiu, who had been looking around frantically . The man stood with both hands in front of his abdomen and spoke politely .

“I’m looking for…” Di Jiu almost blurted out that he was looking for Jia Qian, but he was able to think on his feet . If he had been invited by Jia Qian to watch the match, he would have been escorted to his seat instead of standing there looking lost . If he looked for Jia Qian on his own, he would probably be kicked out of the building in no time .

“I am looking for Brother Zhengsheng . I have something that I need to give him personally . He said that he would send someone to wait for me at the lobby, but I was delayed on my way here, so I didn’t find anyone waiting for me . ” Di Jiu took out a wrapped-up saber and lifted it for a few seconds . Then, he patted the huge bag he carried on his back .

If Jia Qian had decided to organize this tournament in Daicheng City, then Bi Zhengsheng would definitely be at the arena .

“Go upstairs and then head right . Brother Sheng is in the fourth theater box . ” The man in the tuxedo, who did not suspect anything, gave Di Jiu directions to find Bi Zhengsheng . Brother Sheng had already given orders before the match to direct anyone looking for him to his theater box .

No one in Daicheng City would dare make a scene in any of Master Jia’s establishments, unless they had a death wish . Thus, it never occurred to the usher that Di Jiu was there looking for trouble .

“Thank you . ” Di Jiu thanked the usher before climbing the staircase on his right .

Thanks to the usher’s directions, he was able to locate the fourth theater box quickly . The door to the theater box was closed, but Di Jiu did not bother knocking . He took out his derelict dagger and forcefully sliced the door open .

The wooden door was instantly cut open like a piece of tofu .

There were two people inside the private theater box . A refined middle-aged man with short hair was sitting with one hand placed on the French window overlooking the arena while a lady leaned against him .

“Who are you?” Bi Zhengsheng stood up as soon as he realized that Di Jiu had forcefully broken in . His sudden movement caused the lady to fall down .

Di Jiu grabbed a piece of broken wood and knocked the lady unconscious before she could even scream . “My friend says that I’m horrible at disguising myself . Don’t I look even a little familiar?”

“Are you Di Jiu?” Bi Zhengsheng wanted to attack Di Jiu as soon as he realized who he was . However, he had heard that Di Jiu was the one who had murdered Shang Sha . Shang Sha was so much more powerful than him that he would have been able to kill him with a single slap .

Di Jiu raised his hand to slap Bi Zhengsheng . Even though Bi Zhengsheng saw his hand coming towards him, he was unable to avoid it in time .

A sickening clap was heard as Di Jiu’s hand came into contact with Bi Zhengsheng, who fell onto the couch heavily . Di Jiu grabbed Bi Zhengsheng by the neck forcefully . “I heard that you and a woman came looking for me in the Swallow Capital about a month ago . ”

Bi Zhengsheng, who was unable to speak, could only whimper .

Di Jiu realized that he was using too much force, so he immediately loosened his grip slightly . Bi Zhengsheng’s face had turned bright red by now . “You have misunderstood! This is a misunderstanding… Master Jia ordered me to go back then . I have escaped from Luo Jin now…”

“Where is Trustworthy?” Di Jiu did not want to ask any more questions .

“I can tell you . Let go of me…” Bi Zhengsheng was extremely frightened .

The truth was that, ever since Di Jiu had murdered Shang Sha, he had abandoned any idea of killing him for revenge . He only wished he would never see him again . At the time, he had thought it would be safer for him to stay with Master Jia . However, it seemed like staying by his master’s side hadn’t been the safest choice after all .

Di Jiu laughed mockingly . “Do you have the guts not to tell me?”

As he spoke, he tightened his grip once again .

Di Jiu would not let Bi Zhengsheng go, even if he chose to reveal Trustworthy’s whereabouts . He had promised Su You that he would help her avenge her parents’ deaths, and he now had Bi Zhengsheng in his hands .

It was obvious that Bi Zhengsheng was not someone with much moral integrity . “I’ll tell you!” he said without even a moment’s hesitation .

…

The Daicheng International Boxing Ring, which was located at the top floor of the building, looked much neater than the other levels . The largest meeting room in the arena was also located on that floor . The meeting room, which was bright and spacious, provided a great view of the match .

There were 20 people currently seated in the meeting room, including a black men and three white men .

A middle-aged man with a glowing face was sitting at the head of the table . He was the founder of the Daicheng International Boxing Arena, Jia Qian, and the very person who had initiated this conference .

“I agree with your suggestion, Brother Qian . If we want to expand our influence on the Fairy Planet, we will need a large sum of money . However, I’m worried that money will be the least of our troubles if we are thinking of building a portal on the Fairy Planet…” A bearded man named Pu Tai, who was seated in the middle of the table, stood up and presented his point of view .

Pu Tai was a big shot of the Southeastern Asian underworld who had specialized in smuggling guns and drugs . However, when international laws had become stricter, he had established a mercenary company in Africa . He loved it the most when people called him by his nickname, which was “Too Handsome” .

Everyone in the meeting room understood his point of view . About 90% of the territory of the Fairy Planet was currently owned by various countries, while the other 10% was owned by extremely wealthy families, as well as some underground superpowers .

Although Jia Qian enjoyed a very high status, his status was not as high as that of the people who had influence on the Fairy Planet .

Even the first step, which was to transport building materials to the Fairy Planet and build an encampment, was no easy feat .

“I agree with Too Handsome . I suggest we include Bin Sen . He does have a lot of Jewish business connections . Those people would do anything as long as there was money to gain . ” This time, it was a white man who had stood up to speak . He spoke Chinese really well, without even a hint of an accent .

After the white man had spoken, someone else wanted to break in . However, Jia Qian raised a hand and stopped him apologetically . “I’m sorry . Something serious must have happened, or my personal assistant would not be interrupting our meeting . ”

The rest of the people in the room excused him, as he was the one who had initiated the meeting .

Jia Qian signalled towards the door of the meeting room . A slim woman in business attire hurried over to him, bent her waist and said quietly, “Chairman, I just received news that the security system in your bedroom has been triggered . ”

Jia Qian’s face instantly darkened . “Did you find out what happened?”
“The villa is under stricter surveillance now . We are awaiting further instructions from you,” she replied promptly .

Jia Qian knew that his guards would never dare enter his bedroom without his permission .

He stood up instantly and cupped his fists respectfully . “My dear friends, there is a matter at home that I have to attend to immediately…”

Before anyone in the meeting room could reply, Di Jiu’s voice was heard from the entrance . “There is no need for you to go back home, Trustworthy . I have come for you . ”

Di Jiu was holding a plastic bag and a saber wrapped in a black cloth . On his back was a huge bag .
