#202 - All the people are paying attention! The duel begins
As time passed.
More and more people were paying attention to the decisive battle in three days.
Every day, there was a lot of discussion on the Internet.
The Liu family's dark history was also being dug up more and more by those with ulterior motives. At least these few days, the Liu family's reputation on the Internet had reached a point of being utterly disgusting.
But the Liu family was unable to refute it.
It wasn't that the Liu family didn't have the energy and channels to speak out.
It was just that the things that family had done… were truly inhumane!
They searched for a long time, but couldn't find any glorious deeds to reverse the public opinion on the Internet.
It is said that because he was scolded too much, the head of the Liu family was so angry that he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage…
Regardless of the outcome of this duel, the Liu family had already suffered a great loss, and their reputation was completely ruined.
It was precisely because of this that Liu Qing had come to hate Chen Ye and planned to kill Chen Ye at all costs on the day of the duel!
Along with that, the entire Zhao family was hated by Liu Qing.
Three days' time.
Passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the day of the duel had arrived.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
A luxurious transport plane took off from the direction of Jincheng, heading towards the Great Barren Ridge.
The so-called Great Barren Ridge is actually an uninhabited area.
That place is very desolate and not within the country. Its location is at the junction of several countries, belonging to a three-no-man's land.
Under normal circumstances, transcendent individuals above the fifth level would choose the Great Barren Ridge as the location for their duels.
Because it is barren enough, with no animals, and far enough away from human settlements.
Convenient for those strong individuals to use their methods to the fullest.
At this time.
Liu Qing was sitting in the cabin of the luxurious transport plane, closing his eyes to rest.
There were many other people in the cabin, basically all members of the Liu family, or people closely related to the Liu family.
Among them, a woman in her twenties, with eyebrows and eyes somewhat similar to Liu Qing.
She was Liu Qing's younger sister, Liu Ruyan!
Speaking of which, Liu Ruyan's appearance was not ugly, and her figure was also very good, but the cheekbones on her face were a bit high, making her look a bit mean, with an appearance of being very unapproachable.
"Brother, are you confident about this duel?" Liu Ruyan suddenly asked.
Liu Qing, who was closing his eyes to rest, immediately opened his eyes and said, "If I didn't have confidence, do you think I would go?"
"It's good that you have confidence!" Liu Ruyan said, "Before coming, the old man asked me to tell you that this duel is related to the future of the Liu family and cannot be lost! As long as you can defeat that Chen Ye, the difficulties the Liu family is currently facing can be easily solved!"
What she said was not an exaggeration.
As long as Liu Qing can win, then in the eyes of those important figures, Liu Qing is still very useful, and the important figures will not easily give up on the Liu family.
This alone is enough for the Liu family to overcome the crisis.
With important figures guaranteeing them, what if the public opinion is fierce? They can make all the remarks disappear from the Internet in minutes, and then fabricate a new scandal to divert public attention.
The Liu family's affairs will no longer be noticed.
This routine never fails!
… …
In addition to Zhao Zheng himself, in the cabin, there were also President Song and some investment bank representatives who were optimistic about Zhao's father's company.
Since this matter has become so big, even if Zhao Zheng doesn't win in the end, the Liu family will not dare to reach out to the Zhao family again.
Therefore, these investment bank representatives came.
In order to show their sincerity in wanting to invest!
In addition, the old man of the Zhao family also came…
After all, Chen Ye is his own grandson, and the old man must be concerned about his grandson's duel.
In addition, the old man is also a transcendent. Don't look at his old age, his hands and feet are still very agile. Once there are aftershocks of battle, there will be no problem in protecting himself.
Like the old man's several sons, especially Zhao Chenghua, originally wanted to come, but were stopped by the old man.
Because several sons are ordinary people, watching the duel of strong people is very dangerous!
Maybe a flying stone can easily kill them.
"Little Chen, you must not lose this competition!"
President Song sat opposite Zhao Zheng and joked: "I have bet several months' salary on you."
As soon as this remark came out.
Several investment bank representatives also spoke one after another:
"Oh! President Song, heroes think alike! I also bet a little money, betting on Mr. Chen to win."
"Hahaha, I bet all my private money."
Hearing these words.
Zhao Zheng felt very speechless in his heart.
Zhao Zheng certainly knew about the fact that major gambling websites had opened a betting market specifically for his duel with Liu Qing.
After all, he had been paying attention to this matter for the past three days.
It is said that there are many people betting!
In addition, his odds are much higher than Liu Qing's.
This is not because the gambling website is more optimistic about him. In fact, the opposite is true. Most people are not optimistic that he can defeat Liu Qing, so the odds are so high.
Even though Zhao Zheng's odds are high, there are not many people betting on Zhao Zheng.
Almost 70% of gamblers bet on Liu Qing to win!
After all, Liu Qing is a long-established powerhouse.
And "Chen Ye" has only made one move, and his record is too small.
From this point, it can be seen that although the netizens are verbally denouncing the Liu family and saying they want to support Chen Ye, in fact, their bodies are very honest…
Zhao Zheng himself also bet on himself to win.
Not much, just 200,000.
He is not interested in gambling, purely a small gamble to pass the time.
The old man has the courage to bet five million on his grandson!
As for whether the gambling website will default on the debt?
Probably not!
These gambling websites are all from the gambling city, large gambling websites with companies and industries.
They will not ruin their reputation for this little money.
Even if they really dare to default, Zhao Zheng also has the strength to fly over and conquer them in person!
"Mr. Chen, you must win!"
A manager from an investment bank said with a smile: "The majority of netizens hope that you can eliminate harm for the people!"
Hearing this, Zhao Zheng immediately showed a confident smile.
"Victory must belong to me!"
… …
After a while.
The transport plane began to slow down.
It was about to reach its destination.
Everyone looked out the window and then showed a very surprised expression.
There were really too many people at the Great Barren Ridge below!
At this moment, as far as everyone could see, almost the entire mountain was full of people!!
Not only are there people from China, but also many foreigners who have come to join in the fun.
These people are almost all carrying photography equipment, and many Internet celebrities are live streaming while walking…
In addition to people, there are also many flying vehicles, such as drones, small transport planes, and helicopters!
In short.
The current Great Barren Ridge is very popular, and it is completely the opposite of the previous uninhabited area!
"This battle… is really rare!"
An investment bank representative couldn't help but say: "There are too many people coming to join in the fun."
Another investment bank representative joked, "The no-man's land is almost being squeezed into a popular tourist attraction."
Seeing so many people, President Song frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
He had anticipated this situation, so he promptly applied to the General Association to send people to maintain order.
With people maintaining order on site, they shouldn't allow these guys to get close to the battlefield!
Subsequently.
The transport plane began to descend.
Those on the ground, upon seeing this scene, raised their cameras to take pictures.
When Chen Ye, wearing glasses, walked out of the cabin, those people immediately shouted excitedly.
… …
Tangtang is a well-known and popular female streamer on a certain live streaming platform, with tens of millions of fans.
Each broadcast attracts at least hundreds of thousands of viewers.
This is because Tangtang is not only sweet-looking but also a third-order Transcendent.
Relying on her own considerable strength, she often live streams outdoor adventure projects, greatly satisfying the inner desires of some adventurers, and also gathering a large number of loyal fans.
Since hearing the news that Chen Ye was going to duel with Liu Qing, Tangtang had expressed to her fans that she would personally come and live stream the battle between the two top experts!
This further increased her attention.
Therefore.
After arriving at the Great Barren Ridge today, she started her live stream, and her popularity soared, reaching a new height.
A full million people are watching Tangtang's live stream!
"My friends, look quickly, there are so many people here!"
At this time, Tangtang was saying to the camera: "Although I had predicted that there might be many people coming to watch the excitement, this many people is still a bit beyond my expectations."
After a pause.
She happened to notice a luxurious large transport plane flying over and landing.
Tangtang immediately pointed the live stream camera at the transport plane.
"My friends, did you see the transport plane over there? That is a large transport plane, and the person coming must be a big shot, maybe one of the protagonists of today's duel."
When Zhao Zheng's figure appeared at the exit of the cabin, Tangtang immediately exclaimed.
"Look! It's Mr. Chen Ye!"
At this time, her live stream room was already extremely lively.
[It's indeed Chen Ye, the big boss!]
[Big Boss Chen actually dared to come? Didn't flake out? Doesn't he know the strength of the Liu comprador?]
[Why does Big Boss Chen always wear glasses? Isn't it inconvenient to fight with glasses on? Or is it that Big Boss Chen has myopia?]
[It's impossible to have myopia. When a Transcendent's physique reaches a certain level, some minor physical problems will heal themselves, so it's unlikely that any strong person would have myopia.]
In the live stream room, the barrage of comments continued.
Just then.
Another large transport plane flew over.
Subsequently, the Liu family and Liu Qing also appeared.
"It's the Liu guy!"
Tangtang exclaimed: "Some people were worried before that this duel would be a farce and couldn't be fought at all. Now that both protagonists have arrived, it means that the duel is inevitable. My friends, you are in for a treat today!"
[Is this considered a treat? It's not as good as you showing off your legs, streamer...]
[Will they fight a fake match? Deliberately cutting the leeks of gamblers?]
[Impossible! The Liu family is already like this, they must need a victory to prove themselves!]
[Streamer, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and grab a good spot! If you go any later, do you believe you won't be able to squeeze in?]
[Yes, yes, yes, Tangtang, hurry up and grab a spot!]
[Hehe, if I can't grab a good spot to live stream, I'll go to someone else's live stream...]
Seeing the barrage of comments.
Tangtang finally came back to her senses and immediately started charging towards the front of the battlefield.
The other people watching the excitement around her seemed to realize this and started running forward.
When Tangtang came to the periphery of the battlefield, she saw that this area had already been blocked by a large crowd of people, surrounded tightly.
It was impossible to squeeze in at all.
"My friends, you were right, there are too many people here, it's impossible to squeeze in..."
Tangtang said with a helpless expression, then suddenly smiled again and said: "But don't worry, my friends, I never do things unprepared. Before coming, I had anticipated that this situation might happen, so I prepared some things, please wait a moment."
As she spoke, she put down her phone, then opened the suitcase she brought and started assembling...
After some tinkering, the suitcase actually turned into a platform two meters high.
"Everyone saw it, right? I'll be sitting on it to live stream later!"
Tangtang said with a smile, holding a folding chair in her hand.
This guy was indeed well-prepared.
[You're such a clever little ghost!]
[666, as expected, you came prepared!]
[What's this box called? It's very suitable for watching the excitement! I want to buy one too.]
Tangtang glanced at the barrage, smiled, and jumped up, stepping onto the platform.
To be honest.
Although the supporting platform was just a few steel pipes, it was very sturdy.
Subsequently, Tangtang opened the folding chair, notified the phone stand to be unfolded, and directly sat on the platform to live stream.
The platform was a full two meters high, giving her an unobstructed view!
In addition, Tangtang's live streaming equipment was professional, so even from a distance, the picture quality was still very clear.
It was precisely because of this that more and more netizens entered her live stream room, bringing her live stream popularity to its peak.
At this moment, there were many streamers like Tangtang on the scene.
Both domestic and foreign!
These internet celebrity streamers didn't want to miss this huge traffic opportunity!
… …
As time passed.
More and more transport planes arrived at the scene.
Those who came out of these transport planes were all prominent figures.
Tangtang even noticed that a top expert had arrived!
That was a true top expert, one of the few powerful existences in the country to receive an eighth-order title!
The appearance of this person also brought the atmosphere on the scene to a climax!
Inside the rest area.
President Song's expression was solemn as he said: "I didn't expect that person to come."
Zhao Zheng felt a considerable amount of pressure from that top expert and immediately asked: "President Song, which side is he leaning towards?"
"That person has some relationship with the Liu family in terms of interests..."
President Song said: "But don't worry, with so many people watching, he will definitely not interfere in the duel between you and Liu Qing."
"Then what does he mean by coming here?" Zhao Zheng asked.
"I'm not sure!" President Song said: "Having reached that kind of position, their thinking is already different from ours."
… …
Soon.
The time came to twelve noon.
And this time was the agreed-upon time for the martial arts competition.
