Chapter 46 Arena
Although the man’s words were serious and very unwelcoming to Lonis.
But like Elus, Lonis knew that the other party was well-intentioned… After all, such a dark and rough battle was indeed not suitable for her.
However, Lonis didn’t come for money; she just wanted to get information about Zhisheng Luo.
So the bunny girl tilted her head and pretended to be calm, saying: “What do you mean, who says women can’t come to such a place? I heard that recently, some women have come here as temporary gladiators and made a lot of money.”
“You guy… are you talking about that Silver Mask?”
“Silver Mask, haa~ That’s right, she can, so can’t I?”
“Hmph, how can you compare to Silver Mask? She achieved an amazing winning streak as soon as she arrived at the underground arena.”
“Oh…”
“Even formal gladiators are no match for her. Someone once wanted to make things difficult for her, so they held a beast battle, but she resolved it cleanly… That skill is impossible without years of battle experience.”
After speaking, the man looked at Lonis’s slender arms and legs with some disdain… as if he didn’t believe that this woman could last even a minute in front of a monster.
But Lonis was shameless and said directly:
“Hmph, it seems you won’t believe my strength unless I defeat Silver Mask? Hmph… Where is Silver Mask? I want to find her for a duel.”
“What?”
Hearing Lonis’s presumptuous words, the man raised his eyebrows in surprise. In his opinion, this woman was either highly skilled or a fool.
But no matter what, he could enjoy the fun.
“I don’t know where Silver Mask is. She never sleeps in the places provided by the arena, and she hasn’t appeared today.”
“Oh…?”
“If you want to know, go ask the little boy next door.”
“Little boy, who is he?”
“He’s a newcomer. The first day Silver Mask arrived, he was clamoring to challenge her.”
In the room next door, Lonis saw the little boy the man mentioned.
He was only about 1.5 meters tall, with a weak physique, and could not be called a gladiator in any way.
And in fact, that was indeed the case.
According to people around, he had never been assigned any formal battles. The arena staff just took pity on him, so they let him live there. His daily job was to do odd jobs, and the money he earned was just enough to maintain a basic living.
But even so, he did not leave.
Instead, he kept “working hard,” hoping for a day when he could fight in the arena.
…
“Who… who are you, why are you looking for me?”
Seeing an outsider approaching him, the boy’s expression was a bit wary.
As a Hero, Lonis also knew… this was actually a reflection of a boy who had just entered society, with a surface appearance of wanting to be mature, but being extremely confused in his heart.
They don’t want their weaknesses to be exposed to outsiders, so they treat outsiders with a mask of resistance.
However, fortunately, as a man, Lonis also knew what these little boys feared the most…
…
“What… what are you doing?”
“I’m not doing anything, I just want to ask you something.”
Lonis squatted down, her gaze level with the boy… This way, her status and communication would not have much of a barrier with the boy.
And as expected, upon seeing her fair skin, her chest and shoulders up close, the boy was stunned. He didn’t know where to put his gaze, and his cheeks turned red.
“W-what is it?”
“About Silver Mask.”
“Are… are you also part of those bad guys? Don’t delude yourself, I won’t tell you anything about that.”
Although shy, the moment Silver Mask was mentioned, the boy seemed to fall into an instinctive reaction and immediately became resistant.
Lonis was not surprised, and continued to ask:
“Hmph, hmph, why would you delude yourself? I’m not a bad person at all, don’t worry, I won’t do anything detrimental to Silver Mask.”
“Bad guys never say they are bad guys.”
“Alas, I didn’t expect you to be so vigilant at such a young age. Then let me put it another way? Aren’t you worried that Silver Mask didn’t appear today?”
“Worried…?”
“Yes, she had an appointment for a match tonight, but she was absent without reason… The arena management won’t bother with such trivial matters, but it would be bad if she encountered any danger.”
“This!!!”
“So, tell me.”
As if struck in a vital spot, the boy suddenly looked up in horror: “It’s the Ramlin Gang! It must be those guys preparing to do something to Silver Mask!”
“Ramlin Gang?”
“Yes, in the arena competition the day before yesterday, they lost a lot of money because of Silver Mask’s appearance. They wanted to teach her a lesson, but they were taught a lesson by Silver Mask instead, so it’s possible…”
“Mm, I understand. Thank you for the news, I’ll go help Silver Mask.”
Lonis gently patted the boy’s shoulder, but the boy directly resisted and raised his arm:
“I don’t need your thanks!”
“Eh?”
“Are you really going to help Silver Mask? If I find out you’re also a bad guy, then even if I become a ghost, even if I sacrifice my life, I will never let you go!!!”
Gazing at Lonis, the boy said seriously.
Thus, Lonis successfully obtained the information.
Although she was also curious about the boy’s experiences, the immediate priority was to find Zhisheng Luo, so Lonis quickly went to the agreed meeting place to discuss countermeasures with her companions.
…
…
“Ramlin Gang? I’ve heard their name. They’re a small gang, and most of their members are idle thugs.”
Nalonate pondered and said to the two.
“Then did I get the wrong information? Zhisheng Luo’s disappearance has nothing to do with the Ramlin Gang?”
“No, although there is no obvious evidence, the recent activities of the Ramlin Gang have become somewhat strange.”
“Strange…?”
“My informant said that a stronghold where the Ramlin Gang frequently operates often emits hysterical screams. And their boss has not appeared on the surface world for a long time… Although these things are also normal, if they are linked to Zhisheng Luo, it becomes suspicious.”
“Wu?”
Hearing Nalonate say this, Lonis was shocked: She was surprised not only by the dynamics of the Ramlin Gang, but more importantly, by Nalonate’s efficiency and ability.
This blonde little loli didn’t look much older than the boy just now, did she?
Around fourteen years old, it should be an age when childishness has not yet faded.
However, she acted like some major crimes unit leader, being clear and organized, with excellent observational skills:
“I think, although I can send a task force to raid the Ramlin Gang’s stronghold, doing so might alert them.”
“Hmph hmph, in the end, it’s still up to this young master to make a move, isn’t it?”
Although also a little loli, Elus’s style of doing things was much more unrestrained than Nalonate’s: “Lonis, you should stay in the arena and get some good rest?”
“Eh?”
“The tentacle monster competition is about to begin. I think you will definitely like that kind of thing? I’ll give you a few hours off.”
“Who would like that!!!”
Faced with Elus’s smiling face, Lonis angrily resisted.
