"Who are you?" Qiao Sang looked at the swiftly approaching person, her voice tinged with confusion.
"I’m your fan!" the middle-aged Caucasian said with a slightly excited tone, "I’ve watched every single match of yours in the D-rank Beast Tamer competition! You’ve helped me win quite a bit of money!"
Initially, when Qiao Sang heard the first part, she felt somewhat touched. She didn’t expect to have fans in such a short time here, and that they still remembered her after being away for so long.
But upon hearing the latter half, her touch of emotion instantly shattered.
So, she had helped him win quite a bit of money, no wonder...
"Hello," Qiao Sang said with a polite smile.
"Why haven’t you been participating in the arena recently?" the middle-aged Caucasian asked eagerly.
As long as it was Qiao Sang’s match, betting on a 3:0 victory was 99% error-free. It had been a long time since he had encountered such a consistently performing contender!
"I had matters to attend to at school, so I haven’t had the time," Qiao Sang replied.
"Do you have time now? Could you compete in a few matches? Many of us are eager to see you fight again!" the middle-aged Caucasian said with a face full of anticipation.
Since she was already here, it wasn’t like she couldn’t compete in a few matches before leaving; it would also be a chance to earn back the money spent on accessories... Qiao Sang pulled out her phone to check the time.
9:43 PM.
Qiao Sang put away her phone and looked up with a smile, "I’m free."
...
Level 21.
Jude massaged his temples with a headache as he observed the girl on the stage who could almost be described as utterly dominating:
"I thought she wouldn’t come back."
An anxious staff member said beside him:
"What should we do? Everyone has gone mad, not just the amount of money they are betting, but they are all betting on 3:0! It’s been nine straight matches like this already!"
Jude, unable to resist, pulled out a cigarette and lit one:
"Aren’t any of the Beast Tamers ranked in the top ten in the Pet Beast competition here at all?"
"No," the staff member shook his head.
Jude exhaled a slow plume of smoke upwards and said in a heavy tone:
"Call in sick for me at tomorrow’s morning meeting, say I’m ill."
At that time, Jude’s state of mind was still relatively good.
He thought that Qiao Sang wasn’t someone who cared too much about money. Her coming here was just a matter of interest and wouldn’t persist, just like how she suddenly disappeared for a while.
Most Beast Tamers, if they had this level of skill, would wish they could spend 24 hours day in, day out here to gain fame and fortune.
But Qiao Sang might be here today and gone tomorrow.
