Zhao.
A man with only one word in his name.
No one knew what his full name was, because he himself didn't know what his full name was.
From the moment he was born, his name was only this word. Until the end of the civil war that took the lives of countless people three years ago, Zhao, who was like a wild dog, finally ushered in the opportunity to break free from the chains that had firmly trapped him at the bottom of society since he was a child.
It was an inconspicuous piece of paper, but it represented a lot of money. It could even attract those rich people from all over the world. It was the ticket that brought Zhao Qi back from the dead. From a stray dog at the bottom of society, he became a respectable person in the eyes of many citizens.
"Zhao!" You're here again. How's your harvest today? "
This was a dealer who sold arena tickets. When he saw the man who was still exuding a rough aura even though he was wearing an expensive suit, he waved his hand and shouted.
"Tsk!" Baku! Are you looking for a beating again? "
Zhao spat out the toothpick in his mouth and glared at the other party as he shouted in a gruff voice.
This fellow in front of him was originally Zhao's sworn enemy. If it weren't for this fellow's existence, Zhao would probably be able to monopolize the business of the arena's dealers.
"No, no, don't be like this! Zhao! Today, I have a big business to introduce to you! "
Faced with Zhao's threat, Baku shook his head and waved his hand. After indicating that he had no ill intentions, he walked to Zhao's side and lowered his voice.
"Zhao, you know I've never had any thoughts of going against you. I'm just trying to make a living. Besides, I know where my abilities lie. "
However, these words that were close to begging for mercy were interrupted by Zhao's slap.
"Baku!" Don't give me this nonsense. Speak! What do you want to do today? "
Baku, who was slapped by Zhao, was not angry. Instead, he smiled embarrassedly:
"Don't! Don't! Boss Zhao. I know what you're capable of. So, I'll introduce you to the guests I met today. "
"Guests?" Zhao frowned slightly when he heard this, and a trace of distrust appeared on his face.
"Yes! Guests. "Baku nodded repeatedly, his voice lowered even further, afraid that a third person would hear him.
"Boss Zhao. That was a big fish! Although I really want to monopolize it, you know, I don't know many AS wrestling teams. "
"AS wrestling team?"
Upon hearing this name, Zhao's eyes lit up.
Obviously, he had already guessed what Baku wanted to say next.
In this city where AS wrestling dominated the mainstream entertainment, there were only three kinds of people who could inquire about the AS wrestling team.
The first type was a delusional dreamer who wanted to invest all his fortune in an AS wrestling team in an attempt to soar into the sky.
The second kind were speculators like him who wanted to use the fame of some famous AS wrestling teams to inflate the ticket prices in order to make huge profits.
As for the last type, they would be extremely wealthy. They would want to spend countless amounts of money on the AS wrestling team and make them their own team so that they could profit from it.
Therefore, the big fish referred to in Baku's words was undoubtedly the last one.
Zhao, whose thoughts became clearer, looked up and down at Baku and slowly nodded.
"Speak! I'm listening. "
"Yes! Yes! "Baku rubbed his hands. This was a small gesture unique to this guy when he was bargaining.
"Five thousand." Zhao's expression did not change as he quoted a price.
"Twenty thousand!" Baku directly returned four times the price.
"Ten thousand!" Zhao cut half of it without blinking.
"Nine thousand!" Baku gritted his teeth. Obviously, he wanted to bite to death at this price.
However, Zhao only raised his eyes slightly.
"Eight thousand! Goodbye if there's more! I'm busy! "
A trace of struggle appeared on Baku's face as he gritted his teeth. In the end, he nodded his head forcefully.
"Deal!"
Zhao reached into his bosom and took out a stack of banknotes. He threw it to Baku without looking at it.
"This is yours. Speak! "
Baku hurriedly caught the banknotes thrown by Zhao and pointed at the car not far away.
Zhao glanced at it and left Baku behind. He walked to the side of the car and gently knocked on the windshield of the car.
However, what Zhao did not expect was that as the windshield of the driver's seat fell, what appeared in front of him was a cold and elegant face that was like a flower on a mountain.
"Woman? What a beautiful woman. "
With this thought in mind, Zhao, who believed that his eyesight was better than others, judged that the woman in the driver's seat should be the daughter of a rich family, a rich family's daughter who liked to play with exciting things.
"What a big fish!"
Needless to say, Zhao, who was used to such things in the arena, immediately began to calculate how much benefit he could obtain from this rich girl.
"Pah!"
While he was thinking, the scene of him throwing money at his face appeared once again.
However, this time, it was Zhao himself who was thrown in the face by the money.
In front of him was the colorful banknotes that filled the sky.
His face was in pain from being slapped in the face by stacks of banknotes.
What sounded in his ears was the cold and emotionless voice of a young girl.
"Take me to see the AS Wrestling Team in this city. If there is a team that you like, this money is yours. "
No nonsense.
No questions.
He straightforwardly stated his purpose.
And the stacks of banknotes that were slapped in the face.
All of this made Zhao throw away his unnecessary suspicions and wholeheartedly serve this, or rather, this pair of twin beauties who had identical faces, as customers.
"Two distinguished guests, please follow me! I'll lead the way for you now! "
An hour later, Zhao, who was full of smiles, brought the twin ice beauties to a VIP room in the arena and pointed at the two teams that were fighting on the field.
However, just when Zhao Man thought that with his outstanding eloquence, the twin ice sisters would definitely nod their heads and agree to the team he introduced, they were rejected by the ice mountain girl who should be the younger sister.
"No." "Too weak."
Alright!
If this doesn't work, then the next one.
Zhao, who felt that he was already well-informed, did not mind and began to introduce the next team.
In the end …
"No." "Too weak!"
"Eh. Then, please take a look at this team, they are an old team that has experienced close to 100 wrestling matches … "
"Too weak!"
"Eh … Then, please take a look at this team, they …"
"Too weak!"
The ice cold face and dull voice interrupted Zhao's bragging time and time again, almost causing Zhao to fall into the situation of a volcanic eruption.
If not for the pain from being slapped by the stacks of banknotes still lingering on Zhao's face, Zhao might have turned hostile on the spot.
"Just take it as if it is for the sake of money!"
Zhao, who was secretly cheering himself on so that he could properly serve the twin ice beauties that were difficult to deal with, suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Two distinguished guests, quickly look! This is the most famous team in our arena. Their pilot's name is called Tao. "
"Tao?"
Zhao, who was bragging, did not realize that when he announced the name of the team that was going to fight, the twin sisters who had been denying Zhao's bragging all along moved.
"Tao? Yufang, is that him? The person that Lord was talking about. "The short-haired young girl asked in a low voice.
"I'm afraid that is him. The paint on the body and the characteristics are all the same as what Lord said. "The long-haired young girl slowly nodded her head.
Then, after taking a look at each other, the twins simultaneously looked at Zhao who was still bragging.
"Eh!!!"
Although the twins' gaze did not have any killing intent, the coldness that was unable to dissipate caused Zhao to involuntarily shiver.
"Two distinguished guests, you … do you need anything?"
Zhao, who was afraid that his bragging would offend the twins, laughed mockingly.
"It is him. Tao, we want his team. "
It was still a straightforward method.
Zhao's face was once again slapped by the stacks of banknotes until it hurt. However, at this moment, Zhao's heart was actually jumping for joy.
Business, done!!

"What?! Tao's team withdrew from this competition? "
At a corner of the arena, Nami's shocked voice that could not be concealed lingered above Gnacou for a long time.
"Nami, isn't this good? Although I don't know why Tao withdrew from the competition, at least our preparation time has been freed, right? " The fat man with a red headscarf and a moustache spread out his hands, indicating that he was very happy with this sudden situation.
"Riley! Although that is what you said, but … "
Nami frowned.
"Alright! Little boss! This time our luck is not bad. How about, let's go have a drink to celebrate! "
The AS pilot, who was also Lick, could not stop talking about his favorite — — wine.
"Lick! You better stop for a moment! Right now, I have an important announcement to make. Our team has welcomed a big financial backer. "
"What?"
Once Nami's announcement was made, everyone was shocked.
The team, which was already in a terrible fix due to the limited budget, suddenly welcomed a big financial backer?
If this news were to be announced, most probably no one would believe it.
Moreover, no matter how much Nami bragged about her team, there was no way to change the fact that her team was still in the middle level of the arena.
"Hmph! You don't believe me? Then, I will introduce the big financial backer to you! "
Nami looked at her team members who all revealed a distrustful expression, and immediately became excited.
The next moment, the big financial backer who had been waiting outside and did not intend to disturb Nami's team was invited in by Nami.
"Please look! This is Ray Mingkai, and this is Uffi. They came to Nanche City today, and coincidentally met with me. During the conversation with me, they also nodded and acknowledged our strength, and proposed to provide us with funds. So, quickly come and meet our big financial backer. "
With someone as a witness, Nami was in the limelight in front of her team members.
After the liveliness, the man and woman retreated to the other side, looking at the team members who were completely ignited with enthusiasm and started to work on the old Barbarian.
"Kai. Do you really intend to support this team? "
The girl's pretty face had a doubtful expression.
Their purpose in coming to this southern city was not just to play, but to search for Amalgam's stronghold in this country and remove it, so as to prevent Mithril's stronghold in the South Pacific from being attacked.
"Yes. There is nothing wrong with this. Moreover, my goal is not this team, but her. "
The young man nodded slightly, raised his hand and pointed to Nami, who was concentrating on typing on the keyboard.
"According to my speculation, Nami may be one of Mira's members."
"Oh? Kai, do you want to take her back? "
Hearing the young man's idea, the girl did not seem to have any jealousy.
"Yes. Perhaps Nami's field of expertise is programming, and she may complement Mira. "
The young man, Ray Mingkai, smiled and said his thoughts aloud.
"But, we don't know if Nami will agree to help us! Kai. Could it be that you're already confident? "
The girl frowned and looked at Nami, who was concentrating on her work.
It was not difficult to see that Nami has devoted her mind to the Barbarian system maintenance.
"Maybe I am a little bit sure."
Ray Mingkai carefully searched in his mind and remembered the memory of Nami.
Lack of money.
Want to rebuild the village.
He even wants to rebuild the school that brought Nami beautiful memories in his memory.
It was not difficult for Lei Mingkai to come up with such an idea.
As long as Ray Mingkai told Mithril, the village and school would naturally be rebuilt in a short time. However, before the threat posed by Leonard and Amalgam was solved, these actions were meaningless.
Even Nami's own life could not be guaranteed.
Even if there was no possibility of Xiang Liang Sosuke and Nami having contact, Nami's identity as a Whisperer was a time bomb that could explode at any time.
Globally, more and more Whisperers were discovered, and the result was an increase in the production of black technology products and the cheapness of them. Also, under the stimulation of the huge profits brought by black technology products, capital, organizations, and even countries would crazily pursue the existence of Whisperers around the world.
Therefore, Nami's situation would become more and more serious and dangerous.
Although it seemed a bit shameless to say this.
But finding a way to bring Nami back to Avalon was indeed a good way to keep Nami away from the vortex of Whisperers.
"Money?"
Sitting on the throne, the girl who had been in power for a long time thought carefully and immediately thought of Ray Mingkai's idea.
Indeed.
From the first time she saw Nami, this little girl had always been competing with money.
She constantly used all kinds of methods to get everything she wanted. She wanted to use the limited budget she could control to obtain greater benefits.
In other words, Nami might be a money-grubber.
The best way to deal with a money-grubber was undoubtedly one word — money!
For this, the girl, the Empress of the Britannia Empire, Euphemia Li Britania, did not seem to be lacking in this regard.
