arcane stars

Chapter 121 Promotion
The people who were betting were suddenly stunned.

Because they saw that the originally bleak support rate on the protoss side was soaring, the odds were also falling, and the betting amount skyrocketed in a short period of time.

None of them understood what happened.

Could it be that some big shot in Uptown came to support this newcomer named Protoss?
But it is impossible to invest so many star coins at one time.

In fact, everyone in the upper city was also shocked.

It is naturally impossible for them to support a newcomer.

"Find out the source of this fund for me! In addition, investigate the details of the newcomer code-named Protoss."

Even Eshi's behind-the-scenes manager was alarmed, this was the first time such a thing had happened.

"Manager, those funds come from all over the universe... I can't find the information of that newcomer. He seems to be new here today."

Soon, someone will find out.

It's just that the answer was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Is it the Protoss sect?"

The manager squinted his eyes when he heard this. Only the Protoss sect could do such a thing, and the newcomer was wearing a mask of the protoss sect.

But the question is, why did the Protoss sect do this?
Even if the newcomer is really a member of the Protoss sect, what is the protoss sect trying to do with such effort?
After much deliberation, he only thought of one possibility.

That is, the newcomer's status is unusual, maybe he has a high status in the Protoss sect!
Thinking of this possibility, the manager frowned. People from the Protoss sect have never had any conflicts with Liberty City. What is their purpose for doing this?
Just then, someone came in and said:

"Manager, there are a few people from the Protoss Sect asking to see me."

The manager's face changed slightly, and he was talking about people from the Protoss Sect who had already come to the door. This is really not good news.

After a moment of hesitation, the manager still said:

"Let them in!"

When the waiter went in to report, Xia Lun and the others waited outside.

"Captain, the person you said knew Orbis is the manager of Eshi Hotel?"

Jiu Ge was a little surprised.

Because they all know that the current Ye Ming is in the death match field under the banner of Huisho. If that is the case, it is very likely that Orbis is also in the death match arena of Huisho.

Xia Lun nodded and said, "That's right, the manager of Huisho is Orbis' reliance in Liberty City, but I don't know if he will see us."

"What if he doesn't see us?"

Jiu Ge asked curiously.

"Then we'll go in by ourselves."

Xia Lun replied without hesitation, and then suddenly said: "By the way, the deathmatch with César should also start. Remember to place a bet for me. César will be responsible for our team's activities."

"..."

At this moment, the waiter who informed came out and invited them in.

……

Ye Ming didn't know what happened during the betting period, he never thought that Amon would do these unnecessary things.

If he knew, he would definitely criticize Emon.

It would be great if you have the money and give it to yourself directly, if you insist on doing these fancy things, isn't that giving money to Edo!
At this time, the battle on the stage officially began.

Liming's killing intent towards him was so strong that Ye Ming wondered if he had offended him before.

At the beginning of the battle, Li Ming shot directly, not wanting to give Ye Ming any chance to react.

Dawn's speed is very fast, because he is not an arcanist, so he should be a speed-boosting genetic warrior.

This type of genetic warrior is best at attacking and killing, and frontal combat is not their strong point.

Liming turned into an afterimage and appeared beside Ye Ming in an instant, with two short knives appearing in his hands at some point.

The use of weapons is not prohibited in the death match arena, no matter what the outcome of the battle is, what people want to see is the process of fighting.

Of course, the use of any ability is also not prohibited.

Liming's double knives pierced Ye Ming's chest without hindrance, but his face did not relax, but changed suddenly.

"The power of space?"

Immediately afterwards, he distanced himself directly from Ye Ming.

He didn't expect Ye Ming to be a space arcanist!

It's just that it was too late at this time, Ye Ming's stabbed body was shattered like a mirror, and what he stabbed was not Ye Ming's body at all.

The next moment, Liming only felt a sense of crisis coming from behind, and before he had time to react, Ye Ming had already appeared behind Liming.

Liming was directly sent flying to the edge of the death fight stage by Ye Ming.

But Ye Ming soon regretted it. He somewhat overestimated Liming's strength, which caused him to use too much force.

If this leaves a strong impression on people, no one will dare to accept his death fight in the future.

You have to be a little more restrained.

At this moment, Liming struggled to stand up again.

"It seems that I have to show my real strength!"

Li Ming touched the blood on the corner of his mouth, his gaze was serious.

Ye Ming was relieved after hearing this, it turned out that the other party hadn't shown his real strength yet.

In the following battle dawn, the combat power had indeed risen to a higher level, but Ye Ming could not maintain the momentum in the battle.

It seems that the two sides fought back and forth.

The audience in the audience also boiled with this fierce battle.

Only the supervisor felt something was wrong.

He could see that Protoss was hiding his strength on purpose, and according to the strength he showed before, his strength was definitely higher than Dawn.

Even if Liming didn't use all his strength at the beginning, the gap between the two sides was not limited to that point, and Liming could not make up for it with all his strength.

But Protoss was less aggressive after that, and even started to play defensively in this battle.

"What a sinister fellow!"

The supervisor secretly commented in his heart.

The people of the Protoss Sect are indeed not good people. He has already received an order from the boss above to keep an eye on this guy.

Because this protoss has an unusual status in the protoss sect.

It's just that he never expected that this guy would do such a thing, although there is no express rule that he can't pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger like this here.

At this time, Li Ming has gradually become a little manic from the calmness before.

He can also see that the opponent has not used all his strength until now, and he probably understands its purpose.

The point is that he still has nothing to do with the opponent.

Although he has been suppressing Ye Ming on the surface, only he himself understands that the actual situation is not the case at all.

In fact, he has been led by the nose by Ye Ming.

In the end, Ye Ming won the deathmatch with a "slight" advantage.

This result is not so unexpected.

The only ones who were hurt were the audience who bet heavily on Li Ming.

Ye Ming didn't expect that he still had so many people supporting him, and the amount of betting on him was more than double that of Liming.

It's just that he was a little speechless after learning the truth.

Emon actually did such a thing. He was originally a fake Protoss cultist, but now it's a good thing, this identity can't be shaken off.

After such an incident, anyone would think that he is an important figure in the Protoss Sect.

Good thing he was wearing a mask to begin with, no one knew their identities.

"That's right! But it's immoral of you to do so."

The supervisor looked at Ye Ming and shook his head.

"There's no rule saying I can't do that."

Ye Ming said indifferently.

He knew that the reason why the supervisor paid attention to him was not because of the good relationship between them, but because what happened to him today attracted the attention of the upper city.

Hearing this, the supervisor said awkwardly: "Although there is no such regulation, you'd better pay attention to it in the future."

"Don't worry, I will act better in the future."

Ye Ming nodded seriously.

"Hehe, just be happy."

The supervisor didn't say anything anymore, but instead said: "We have prepared a luxury suite for you, which can be regarded as your congratulations for winning your first victory."

"Then I'm welcome."

Ye Ming nodded.

What Amon has done is irreversible, and now Ye Ming can only enjoy the privileges brought about by this incident.

If it's just a rookie in the deathmatch arena, it's naturally impossible to receive this kind of treatment.

Ye Ming followed the supervisor and left the death fight field, and came to the tenth floor of the Edo Hotel.

As soon as he turned around the stairs, Ye Ming bumped into a tall man in black. The man was wearing a black windbreaker and sunglasses, with a fierce look on his face.

"Don't you have eyes?"

The man in black gave Ye Ming a cold look.

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Ye Ming and others to respond, he went downstairs on his own.

Ye Ming narrowed his eyes and asked:
"who's that person?"

Hearing this, the supervisor glanced at the man who had gone away, and said in a low voice, "That's also a newcomer who has just arrived for a few days, and lives in the apartment next to yours."

"Really? Is your status unusual?"

Ye Ming asked casually.

Those who can live here are definitely not ordinary newcomers.

"Hehe, who knows!" The supervisor shook his head and said, "Although I am a supervisor here, how can the people above tell me this, we are just doing things according to the arrangements of the people above."

Ye Ming nodded slightly. The meaning of the supervisor was very clear. He didn't know the identity of that person, but he just received the arrangement from above.

The supervisor continued:

"But don't worry, you should not see each other normally, and he won't affect your rest."

"That's good."

Ye Ming looked back, the supervisor had already walked ahead and opened his room.

The inside is indeed very luxurious, with everything one should have.

"We will pay you the wealth you gained in the death match today, so you can rest here with peace of mind, and just go downstairs to find me again."

The supervisor smiled.

After speaking, the supervisor turned and left.

……

"Orbis? What are you looking for?"

Manager Eshi stared at Xia Lun and the others, and his tone was not very good.

"He's a fugitive from the Empire."

Sharon said lightly.

The manager was slightly taken aback, and tentatively asked, "Aren't you from the Protoss Sect?"

"Imperial Administration, Law Enforcement."

Xia Lun took out her ID card and waved it in front of the manager.

"I see."

The manager nodded, and immediately asked someone to take out Orbis' information.

He did take in Orbis of the same family, and arranged him in the lower city, and planned to send him out of the empire after Orbis left the lower city.

But after Xia Lun and other tasks appeared, he decisively gave up Orbis.

One Orbis wasn't enough for him to take the risk.

When he knew that the other party was from the Law Enforcement Department of the Administration, he understood one thing. This time Orbis' escape from prison was not due to luck, nor was it because of how powerful he was.

But the empire deliberately let him out.

He didn't know what the meaning of the empire's doing was, but if he continued to shield Orbis now, he would definitely get into big trouble.

So he directly disregarded the relationship.

After all, the City of Liberty is still within the territory of the empire, and only the empire will be free if they don't care about them. Once the empire is angered, this freedom will be gone.

He even suspected that the empire deliberately released Orbis to create an opportunity to move the free city.

Xia Lun didn't expect things to be so simple.

"In that case, don't bother."

After getting the information about Orbis in the lower city, Xia Lun led the others to stand up and smiled.

Then he left with people.

The manager waited until Xia Lun and the others left, and immediately called his cronies, and ordered:
"From now on, transfer all the assets under my name, and prepare the spaceship to leave. There may be problems here."

"By the way, inform the big boss that you don't have to come back for the time being."

……

"Captain, did he compromise so easily?"

Jiu Ge was a little puzzled.

Xia Lun said with some regret: "Yes! So it's a little troublesome, and I could have done it directly."

"..."

Several people were a little speechless after hearing the words.

Lin Qihai thought for a while and asked: "So Captain, it doesn't really matter if you can take Orbis with you on this mission, right?"

The existence of Orbis is actually because the empire wants to attack Liberty City, but it lacks a suitable reason.

It was a good reason to hide the fugitive, but I didn't expect that guy was also a smart person, so he sold Orbis directly.

Xia Lun glanced at him, nodded and said:
"That's almost the case. Now we can only see what Orbis does. If Orbis attacks our team members, this reason is barely valid."

"You want Cesare to be the bait?"

Jiu Ge frowned.

"Don't worry, César will definitely complete the task." Xia Lun said calmly: "Now hand over the information we have investigated to César."

……

Ye Ming soon received the information from the captain and the others.

The information clearly shows that Orbis' current identity is a death fighter, codenamed Cage.

A photo of Orbis now is attached at the back.

Ye Ming was stunned the moment he saw the photo.

The man in the black coat and black hat in the photo was the tall man he had seen outside before.

That guy is really Orbis?

Ye Ming looked strange. In fact, he had some doubts in his heart when he asked the supervisor before.

After all, there are not many newcomers who can live in luxury suites, and that guy was arranged here by the people above.

Everything is consistent with the characteristics of Orbis.

He came a few days earlier than him, and was arranged by people from the upper city to take care of him, and his strength was not weak.

The coincidence is unexpected, but it is reasonable.

Ye Ming felt a little dangerous when he thought that the person they were looking for lived next door to him, and that was the fifth-order apostle.

But at this moment, someone knocked on the door.

Ye Ming opened the door. The person who came was not his neighbor, but a hotel worker. It turned out that he had received the proceeds from today's death fight.

According to the rules, he can get half of the remaining funds in the prize pool that supports Liming.

In the end he got 200 million star coins.

Ye Ming's eyes lit up, and he immediately spent these star coins.

He wants to be promoted to a fourth-tier Arcanist.
