Not long after Li Mochen stepped down from the arena, a staff member from the NHSAA Tournament Committee came to inform him. The committee was urgently setting up an investigation team with a third party to investigate whether the match between him and Cardio Rhodes had been manipulated by outside factors, or if there were suspicions of collusion.
The competition committee wanted him to stay in the Storm Stadium for a while. They were organizing personnel and equipment to do a comprehensive physical and drug test on him.
Li Mochen felt helpless. He wanted to leave the stadium as soon as possible after the match. Louise Linden's request made him reluctant.
But now it seemed that even if he rejected Louise, he wouldn't have the chance to leave early.
Fortunately, the committee didn't prohibit him from contacting the outside world. With the help of telepathy, he communicated with Elisa Targaryen and Lee Tae-lai, who came to watch the match, and passed on all the information he needed to.
The main reason was to prepare for the match. Li Mochen's request was to launch an attack on Gerrard's Fine Factory the moment Dainian Stussy, a level-17 templar, was in position.
He also asked Lee Tae-lai to prepare an order, and within a minute before the match began, he would deliver battle orders and new employment contracts to the three A-rank mercenary groups that were on standby.
Considering the reliability of the mercenary groups, Li Mochen didn't intend to let them participate directly.
Then there was Yolte Linden. The assistant bishop's power was also something he had to rely on. Since he had Louise Linden, the heir of the Linden family, as a guarantor, he could trust Yolte. He was even more reliable than his subordinates, the employees who had signed a soul contract with him. A prestigious family like the Linden family especially valued their own reputation, and would never allow it to be tarnished.
He also believed in Louise Linden's foresight. She wouldn't scheme against him for no reason, and rashly become enemies with a force that had defeated Antonio.
Li Mochen then met with his personal lawyer, Mike Ross, who had rushed over, and then waited alone in the lounge. In the end, Linden Academy didn't let him participate in the team battle, and they advanced to the next round with a score of two to zero.
The opponents they were facing this time were actually quite strong. But at this time, William Jacques had grown up and become an outstanding Shadow Magician. With the addition of Lina and Angela, the two powerful level-7 Magicians, their combat power was almost like a bug in the dozens of high schools in Atlanta. The result was a crushing victory without any suspense.
Twenty minutes after the end of the team competition, several staff members from the NHSAA Tournament Committee came again and invited him to a special physical testing room in Hall D.
There was originally a large amount of equipment here, and at this moment, some had been temporarily moved here. There was also a large number of people in white coats gathered here, making all kinds of preparations for the equipment.
"Ammo, you can display your abilities to your heart's content today."
Carl Holden and Mike Ross walked up to him together. "The NHSAA Tournament Committee has promised to protect your personal privacy and interests to the greatest extent. Everyone here, including the reporters, has signed a confidentiality contract and a Styx contract. As long as there are no problems with your physical examination and drug test, they can't leak any of your test data to the outside world, and there will be no video or audio recording of the whole process. "
Li Mochen frowned at Mike Ross. He didn't remember making such a request.
So what if the test results were leaked? There was nothing to hide, and he didn't intend to go all out.
"Ammo, I didn't make this decision on my own, and I didn't make such a request to the Tournament Committee."
The latter spread his hands helplessly. "It's obvious that we've been represented."
Li Mochen then glanced at Carl, and the latter hummed. "I'm not too sure about the situation, but Mr. Paton has already made a serious negotiation on your behalf."
His eyes wandered around, and then he whispered into Li Mochen's ear, "The Xuri Company's stores will open in ten days, right? I know that the Afrikaans Agricultural Assistance Association and the Somalia Poverty Relief Fund have recently planned to invest 30 million gold duns to buy various kinds of household appliances for poverty alleviation and aid. "
Li Mochen looked at him speechlessly. "They're still planning to manipulate the bets about me? This is very immoral, and I won't allow it. "
"They guessed that you might refuse, so they didn't plan to ask you beforehand."
Carl Holden also spread his hands. "You can't stop it, can you? Nathan Group does have such power, but the life and death of those gamblers have nothing to do with us. As for you, Ammo, you can try to clarify it in the major media. "
Li Mochen couldn't help but click his tongue. He knew that what Carl said was the truth. These betting companies had the power of the media, and they could easily distort the truth. Even if he loudly announced to the reporters that he was strong and could defeat all the high school fighting stars, what use would it be?
Most of the TV stations wouldn't broadcast it, and the newspaper reporters would be "persuaded" before publishing.
So, he really couldn't do anything about it now.
So, he quickly changed his attitude. "30 million is too little, I want at least 100 million."
Li Mochen thought that instead of letting the betting companies pocket the money they earned from the gamblers, it would be better to let them bleed a little more to help him solve his financial predicament.
But he couldn't make it too ugly. The household appliances sold by Xuri Company to these charity funds couldn't be set too high. He could only make a net profit of 4.5 million gold duns from this order of 30 million gold duns.
Moreover, the charity funds would buy so many household appliances, and they would eventually be given away. This could be considered a good deed, and he might even earn some merit points.
"Alright, I'll help you negotiate again!"
Carl Holden didn't care about the amount of the order. It wasn't Nathan Group that was paying for it. He walked out with his mobile phone for about seven minutes, then walked to Li Mochen with a smile on his face. "50 million gold duns, that's the limit they can offer. Africa doesn't need that many household appliances. Secondly, if the amount is too large, it'll be hard to guarantee that there won't be any repercussions. But after this purchase, you have to cooperate with them without affecting your own interests. "
So, Li Mochen looked a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, they won't go too far. Otherwise, the Gambling Regulatory Commission won't let them go, and Nathan Sports Group won't allow them to ruin your image."
Carl Holden cautiously suggested, "If I were you, I'd sign a few agency contracts with big companies as soon as possible. That's the best way to deter these people behind the scenes."
“OK！”
Li Mochen finally took off his jacket. "Carl, you mean, do your best, right?"
"That depends on your own will. But the stronger you show now, the more favorable it will be for the NHSAA competition committee to rule."
Carl Holden rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. "Ammo, your physical data probably won't be able to catch up to Cardio Rhodes. So the key is the actual combat test. Ammo, you'd better get a 10S rating this time. Note that the third party hired by the NHSAA competition committee is the Exxon Magic Laboratory. Their combat test method is slightly different from our sports laboratory. "
