The layout of the battle hall was like a football field, with a circular ring in the center, surrounded by a steel wall. It was like a cage that was placed upside down on the ground to prevent spectators from getting injured by an accident and the participants fleeing.
After all, this was a place where a brutal life and death fight took place. If one wanted to escape on the verge of death, it would be impossible to do so with this steel cage, and they had no choice but to die in the ring.
This is what many viewers find interesting.
The audience sat around the room in staggered chairs to make sure that the one behind could see the ring clearly.
There were also various screens and speakers around the battle hall so that the sound of the match could be transmitted to every corner of the hall in real time.
!!
At this moment, there were two men covered in blood and burly fighting brutally in the ring, which was like the gladiator colosseum.
The fight was intense, and the sounds of kicks and punches were constantly transmitted to the ears of everyone present. It felt as if they were fighting right next to them.
The audience watched excitedly, shouting and roaring incessantly.
Here, everyone could release all of their normally hidden inner emotions, so everyone shouted without a care, their faces changing.
The two warriors in the ring were quite skilled, not much weaker than the elite bodyguards of some large families.
Watching the fight in the ring, Alexander said, “This is today's annual tournament final, so the prize money is huge. That's why experts from all over the world are drawn to this place.
“In addition, many consortia and troops will send their people here to find suitable candidates for their own use.
“In the end, there may even be a conflict between two great powers due to a warrior. Fights over such matters were a common occurrence here. ”
Just as he finished speaking, the people in the hall roared with a rumble. It turned out that the fight was over, and the victor brandished his bloodied fists to welcome the crowd's cries.
Instead, the loser had already become a cold corpse on the floor and was immediately carried away violently, leaving only two wet stains on the floor.
The fresh blood underneath would soon dry up and become an insignificant touch of color on that deep red ring.
Seeing this, Lucas felt a sadness in his heart.
They are all skilled experts. But once they stepped into the ring, they could only be reduced to toys for the audience to laugh at. Those who fail will not even accept pity and will only suffer scolding and curses from those who bet on them.
Alexander looked sympathetic as he said softly, “Actually, the people who can step into the ring for the championship every year are all powerful experts from all over the world. But more than half of them will die in this ring without anyone remembering them.”
“Then, why do you want me to help you win the championship tonight?” Lucas asked while looking at Alexander.
A bitter smile appeared on Alexander's face. “There are several reasons I cannot reveal. If possible, I would never want to set foot inside this hellhole.”
“I know you used to be from the Hutton family. In that case, you should know there is a lot of injustice among top families like ours.
“My father was the child my grandfather liked the most. He was extremely outstanding, so he became the designated successor of the Steeles a long time ago. If he hadn't died for the family a few years ago, my father might have been a helmsman.
“Since my father died, his power and authority were taken over by my uncle. No matter who among them was the helmsman, their successor was only their son.
“So since then, I was ostracized by them. And although I have contributed more to the family than any other of my generation, my status in the family has declined, and my life has gotten worse.”
Lucas listened quietly.
In fact, what Alexander said was common among the top families. Everything is the result of wealth and power. Everyone wants to do their best to benefit themselves, their children, and their grandchildren. Thus, they would definitely suppress others.
Alexander continued, “My reason here tonight is because there was a bet among the Steeles regarding Club Illuma's annual tournament.
“My grandfather has three sons, so the Steeles are currently divided into three camps, each of which controls many of the Steeles business. The Club Illuma championship tournament is annually linked to the distribution of Steele's business.
“Every year, each camp will find strong experts to represent their stronghold in the ring. The highest-ranking camps will receive more business.
“My camp is much weaker than the other two camps, and I also have less financial resources. I cannot invite a powerful powerhouse, so I have lost for several years in a row.
“Next, if I still lose this time, I will have less business on hand. I have to leave everything to others, and in the future, there will be a place for me in the Steele.” family
A deep expression of grief and resignation appeared on Alexander's face.
Lukas surprised.
As far as Lucas knows, the Steeles are very low among DC's top eight families and won't easily fight or compete with other families. But they also lack communication with other families, and others are only able to get a little information about them.
But Lucas did not expect competition inside the Steeles to be so intense, so much so that his descendants would even look for powerful experts to participate in the Club Illuma annual tournament to determine the amount of business that each camp got.
This was definitely an effective method to stimulate the Steeles looking for more powerhouses to join the family.
“During the auction yesterday, I happened to witness how powerful you are, Mr. Gray. That's why I suddenly came up with this idea for you to help me win this year's tournament championship. However, my request was indeed too sudden, and it was my fault for not communicating and discussing it with you earlier, ” Alexander said with a bitter expression.
