Chapter 33: Martial Arts Invitation

nts, and I'll let you go!" Ding Sheng's eyes now held a hint of amusement."I'd rather die than be humiliated," she darted into the kitchen, grabbed a knife and lunged at her neck."Want to die Did I ag...At night, the Fang Hua Bar was dimly lit, with deafening music and the air thick with the smell of strong liquor.

"Almost done," Zhou Qi raised his arm to look at his watch and whispered, "It should be about time."

He took out his phone and called Wang Lin.

"Hello Who is this" Wang Lin's voice came through after the phone was answered.

"Hello, Mr. Wang, I am the owner of FangHua Bar, Zhou Qi."

"Is something the matter Someone said you were looking for me during the day."

Wang Lin was a little puzzled. He and Zhou Qi had nothing to do with each other, so why did he suddenly look for him Could it be that he had ulterior motives against me

Thinking about this, he instantly became cautious. He had heard that bars were very chaotic. This boss wouldn't be looking at how handsome he was and wanting him to sell himself, would he!

There are some things I'd like to discuss with you in person. It's hard to explain over the phone. Would you be available for a meeting

Is he trying to force me into selling myself He's too embarrassed to say it over the phone But as long as I don't meet him, he can't do anything about it.

No, even if we met, with my current abilities, I wouldn't be able to handle myself, would I

"Let's talk about it first. If I'm interested, we can schedule a meeting later."

Zhou Qi fell silent. He hadn't made up his mind whether to tell Wang Lin. If he told Wang Lin, and Wang Lin disagreed, things would be more troublesome afterwards.

Wang Lin saw that the other party was silent, and he became even more certain of his thoughts. He said straight to the point, "Give up your ideas. I'm not interested in selling myself. Find someone else! That's it!"

Before Zhou Qi could respond, Wang Lin hung up the phone directly. Then he went to look in the mirror, "Am I this handsome I just look average!" Afterwards, he proudly flicked his hair.

On the other side, Zhou Qi stood there dumbfounded, holding a phone. Selling meat How did he get involved with selling meat again

He frowned in thought for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Interesting," he said. "I'm becoming more and more interested in you."

The phone redialled, and Wang Lin's voice came out impatiently, "Didn't I say it! I'm not interested in selling meat, stop calling me!"

Zhou Qi smiled and explained, "Mr. Wang, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that at all. Actually, I came to you because it could be a deal. You put in some labor, and I provide some compensation."

"Isn't that still selling flesh!"

"Well... maybe I didn't explain clearly. Do me a favor, if you succeed it's 500,000, if you fail it's still 200,000 for you. What do you think" Zhou Qi explained again, he knew if he didn't explain clearly, Wang Lin would hang up the phone again in a moment.

"What! Two to twenty thousand" When Wang Lin heard this number, his eyes immediately flashed red, like a starving person who suddenly saw a plate of meat, extremely excited.

"Yes, as long as you make an effort to complete what I assign you, regardless of success or failure, there's a guaranteed 200,000."

Zhou Qi, hearing Wang Lin's words, also saw through Wang Lin's focus. His next words went straight to the point of Wang Lin's concern.

At this time, Wang Lin was panting like an ox, his heart beating wildly. He had never seen so much money in his entire life, and all he had to do was complete one thing to get it!

He took several deep breaths, trying hard to suppress the excitement in his heart, and slowly calmed down. "Things won't be easy, will they"

"Yes, otherwise the pay wouldn't be so high, but rest assured, there will be no danger to life."

Zhou Qi guessed that Wang Lin was already interested in this matter, and continued to strike while the iron was hot: "Why don't we have a face-to-face talk"

"Okay! Where are you I'll come over." Wang Lin was now interested in this deal. He wanted to meet and discuss the specifics. If possible, he planned to take it directly.

"Tell me where you are! I'll have someone pick you up right away."

"Ziyun District, I'm waiting for you at the entrance of Ziyun District."

"Okay, I've arranged a car nearby, it will be there shortly."

Five minutes later, Wang Lin got into a business car. He took a look at the interior and was secretly amazed. Life for rich people is so good!

At this moment, Zhou Qi was sitting at the bar, swaying a highball glass in his hand, his eyes drifting towards the bustling street outside the door, waiting for Wang Lin to arrive.

Half an hour later, the vehicle came to a smooth stop in front of the Fang Hua Bar. Wang Lin got out of the car, looked around, and then walked into the bar.

Zhou Qi immediately noticed the unyielding spirit emanating from Wang Lin. He walked up to Wang Lin, smiling and extending his hand: "Hello, Mr. Wang, I'm Zhou Qi."

Wang Lin looked at Zhou Qi with some surprise, not understanding why the bar owner would personally come out to greet him. Could that matter be especially important to Zhou Qi

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded and reached out to shake Zhou Qi's hand. "Hello, Mr. Zhou," he said.

"Come on, let's talk inside!" Zhou Qi brushed past him, pointing to the inside of the bar. Wang Lin also stretched out his hand, motioning for Zhou Qi to go in first.

Zhou Qi smiled and walked into the bar side by side with Wang Lin, going straight to the office on the third floor.

After arriving at the office, Zhou Qi gestured for Wang Lin to sit down. "Have a seat, Mr. Wang,"

Wang Lin nodded and sat down, asking with a hint of curiosity, "Tell me, what happened What would make Mr. Zhou pay such a high price"

"Ahem, before we begin, I hope Mr. Wang agrees that regardless of whether he does it or not, he must keep this a secret."

Wang Lin thought about it for a moment, "It's normal for the other party not to want others to know. "Okay, I definitely won't tell anyone."

"Haha, good! Then I'll just say it directly," Zhou Qi clapped his hands and laughed loudly. "Actually, the matter is very simple, I invited you here to participate in a martial arts competition."

"A duel" Wang Lin was a little puzzled.

"Yes, our family originated in the black industry and values martial prowess. Every five years, we select some outstanding young members of the family to hold a martial arts tournament. The ranking based on strength determines their influence within the family."

"And this year is the fourth martial arts tournament I've participated in. In previous tournaments, I always came last in the family rankings. Every year, I could only stay at this bar and a few hotels." Zhou Qi said helplessly.

"But I'm not one of your family! Is this okay"

"Well, our brothers always bring in reinforcements. After all, having strong reinforcements is part of our strength itself, and it also creates a mutually supportive effect with the reinforcements. The elders of the family are also quite supportive of this."

"So that's how it is. Say, how did you know my abilities could help you"

"I was about to give up this time," Zhou Qi looked at Wang Lin with some helplessness, but then he said excitedly, "Until my men found out that you were a Awakener, I thought of asking you to help me get a good ranking."

Wang Lin fell silent for a moment, then asked again, "How strong were the people you hired last few times"

"The most powerful ones before this were the Awakened, of course there were other Awakened as well, but their strength wasn't vastly different. I don't know how you guys categorize your own strength levels."

But as long as you are an Awakened, your ranking will be good. Most of the rest are just very capable ordinary people.

Could you please tell me the specific rules

"I can't tell you now, I have to wait until you agree before I can tell you. Forgive me, this is what the elders in my clan require." Zhou Qi shook his head apologetically.

"Well, I need to consider this, as I have other commitments and don't know if I'm allowed to participate in your matter."

Zhou Qi didn't take it to heart. He knew that no organization would prohibit something like this.

He handed Wang Lin a business card and said, "Okay, take some time to think about it. If you win, not only will you get 500,000 yuan in prize money, but the whole city will see your skills."

"If you lose, you'll still get a consolation prize of 200,000. That amount of money should be no small sum for you."

Wang Lin took the card and looked at the numbers and the name "Zhou Qi" on it. He couldn't help but feel a ripple of emotion. "Whether I can get rich or not depends on this one time. Damn! Why did I join the association Being a freelancer would be pretty comfortable too!"

Little did he know, even if he didn't join the association, he would still join other organizations for various reasons. Individual power is always insignificant after all. Ancient experience teaches us that it's good to lean on a big tree for shade.rs. Try not to kill him.""Don't worry, I'll only make him feel pain.""Hmm"Wang Lin took over from Ding Sheng and then eagerly pulled him into the interrogation room.Shen Qingfeng and Li Jianguo looked...
