Chapter 2300: Chapter 2301: The Purpose of the Competition

“Let’s see who ends up lying on the platform first.”

Lin Yi responded indifferently with a gesture, not bothering to say more, his thoughts focused on the glass window not far away.

Indeed, there were several people inside, but only Bernard was clearly visible.

Whether Zhou Fan and the people from KD had appeared there was still uncertain.

Lin Yi squinted his eyes slightly, his expression somewhat unnatural.

His plan required tight coordination on three fronts.

...

Should any part go wrong, it could trigger a chain reaction, affecting the final outcome.

Therefore, Zhou Fan was critical in the plan, he had to be found!

Following the crowd, Lin Yi and over a hundred people arrived at the massive boxing ring.

Although there were quite a few people, it didn’t feel crowded standing there.

Seeing these people on the stage, the audience below became wildly enthusiastic, waving their items in the air and cheering for the upcoming match.

At this moment, the referee in a white shirt took the stage, microphone in hand, and addressed the crowd:

“Welcome everyone to today’s match. What we’re about to have is an unprecedented free-for-all brawl, with only twenty people surviving. I believe today’s match will surely be an unforgettable night for everyone!”

As the host’s words concluded, another deafening wave of cheers filled the arena.

Both men and women, at this moment, had their adrenaline ignited.

The referee, too, seemed in no hurry, thoroughly enjoying the passion that each person brought to the boxing match.

Hearing the shouts from the crowd below, the competitors on stage were also influenced, each eager to try their luck.

Only Lin Yi retained a serene expression, feeling that such a competition was but the madness of fools, and he had to pretend to be part of it.

Just then, Lin Yi’s expression changed upon spotting a man in his early thirties walking in, escorted by two bodyguards.

After entering, the man glanced at the center of the room and, without paying much attention, walked toward the glass room not far away.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi’s pupils contracted slightly; he was sure that the man who had just entered was Zhou Fan, the very person he had been searching for!

Although he had only seen photos, the man’s appearance was distinct, and Lin Yi was certain he was not mistaken.

Quietly, Lin Yi fiddled with the ring on his finger and whispered in a barely audible voice:

“Zhou Fan has appeared, those outside take notice.”

This subtle action went unnoticed.

Most assumed that Lin Yi was performing some kind of prayer, that he prayed not to be beaten to death.

Soon, Zhou Fan entered the glass room.

There were four people inside, including two bodyguards, Bernard, and his male companion.

Zhang Chaoyue wasn’t there because he anticipated possibly encountering Zhou Fan during the event, so he found an excuse to leave.

Seeing Bernard, Zhou Fan’s expression showed slight disgust.

His personality was similar to Sui Qiang’s, as big, straightforward men like them definitely had aversions to people like Bernard.

However, Zhou Fan was extremely friendly on the surface, performing the necessary pleasantries flawlessly.

After seeing Zhou Fan, Bernard sent everyone else out of the room, leaving only the two of them.

Being alone with Bernard made Zhou Fan even more uncomfortable, as he struggled to control his emotions.

“Buddy, today’s boxing match is quite grand, isn’t it?” Zhou Fan said with a smile.

“Of course, this is part of the selection process for our plan; it has to be taken seriously,” Bernard replied:

“But is it really okay to choose this kind of all-out brawl? I still think, one-on-one fights would better showcase their strength.”

“You’re right, but what we need in the future is not just solo fighters,” Zhou Fan said:

“On the real battlefield, the situation changes in the blink of an eye. Individual strength is hard to turn the tide of battle, so when it comes to selection, we need to find real talent.”

“So, is this the way to do it?”

“This is the best way at the current stage,” Zhou Fan continued:

“In an all-out brawl, a person’s overall merit can be fully displayed. Only the smart ones, or those who excel in both physical and mental abilities, will make it into the final top twenty. Such abilities are crucial on the battlefield.”

“Alright, I’ll take your word for it, you’re the expert.”

“You mentioned yesterday that you were targeted by two men from the Sunrise Land and then rescued by someone from China, to whom you gave an invitation?”

“Yes, let me check.” Bernard peered down but didn’t find Lin Yi’s figure.

“Huh, how odd, he didn’t show up, what a waste of my invitation.”

“Are you sure he didn’t come?”

As they spoke, Zhou Fan also looked towards the platform but didn’t spot anyone suspicious.

The two had also spoken on the phone the previous night.

Zhou Fan was updated about Bernard’s situation.

Regarding the identities of the two men from the Sunrise Land, he had guessed they were likely sent by Japan to retrieve the information, with no doubt about their objective.

However, the sudden appearance of the two Huaxia men who saved Bernard was suspicious.

Zhou Fan was worried that they might be from the Central Guards Brigade.

“It’s a pity he didn’t come,” Bernard lamented:

“That guy’s skills weren’t bad, if he had come to the match, he probably would have made it into the top twenty, but making the top ten is hard to say.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fan felt somewhat relieved.

With the Central Guards Brigade’s strength, participating in a match of this level and aiming for the first place would definitely be a breeze.

“If he didn’t come, then he didn’t come. It’s not a big deal.”

Having said that, Zhou Fan too looked towards the ring and noticed only one Huaxia person who was kind of fat with prominent cheekbones and looked very ordinary, probably just overthinking it.

The grudge between the Zhou family and the Central Guard wasn’t significant, so they probably wouldn’t invest much effort in targeting him.

Overall, he was safe.

While the two chatted, the referee’s voice came from the ring.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please quiet down. The time has come, and tonight’s free-for-all match officially begins!”

“Wait a minute!”

The person who spoke was Colson, standing out just as the host announced the start of the match.

Seeing that it was Colson who spoke, the host’s attitude became much more courteous.

For he was a highly renowned player in the circle and one of the first to be invited to today’s match.

“Mr. Colson, do you have something to say?”

“Nothing major,” Colson said, loosening his wrists and showing a mocking smile.

“I just want to settle some personal matters before the fight begins.”
