    The ancient country of Aram, Port of Miracles, one of the many marquis residences in Rhodes.  The room is filled with the aroma of spices, which smells fresh and pleasant. The price of these spices alone is enough to cover the living expenses of an ordinary family for several months.  An Rui stood by the window, looking at the pool outside the window. There was a mermaid statue there, holding a bottle in his hand, and the mouth of the bottle was spraying water continuously.  He came here to collect money, but Rhodes himself hadn't come yet.  It has been two days since that fight.  Some of the minor injuries Anrui suffered have been healed and he is now alive and well.  If you look carefully, you will find that the edge of his right cuff shows some dragon patterns.  This is the dragon pattern that the Black Misty Dragon has transformed into.  A violent and powerful force surged in the dragon-shaped lines, as if it was about to roar out at any time, choosing and devouring people!  The door suddenly opened, and Rhodes, dressed in fine clothes, walked in with a smile on his face.  "An Rui, your battle was very exciting, especially when you used your strength to severely damage the black mist dragon, and when you reached out to subdue the black mist dragon, it left a deep impression on me." Rhodes said with a smile as he walked.  "Thank you for the compliment." An Rui turned around and responded with a smile.  The two of them exchanged a few words and took their seats.  Halfway through the conversation, Rhodes took off a bag from his waist and placed it on the table. He smiled and said, "This is the 30% profit we agreed on in advance. You can keep it." An Rui took the bag over and untied it.  He picked up the rope buckle and looked inside.  There are a lot of translucent blue coins stacked inside, more than 300 of them. These coins are also called diamond coins, which are a higher level of currency than gold coins.  Just one diamond coin can be exchanged for more than 500 gold coins.  This time the bet on Black Lanlong¡¯s victory reached more than 600,000 gold coins.  The 30% is divided into more than 180,000 gold coins. If the gold coins are paid directly, the pile will be enough to make a mountain of gold, which is not convenient to carry.  It would be much more convenient if you convert it into diamond coins to pay.  The total amount is only more than 300 diamond coins, which can be filled in a small bag.  An Rui took the money bag in his hand and weighed it twice, but did not count it in detail.  These diamond coins are almost the same as the money he deserves. There is no need to worry about it. It doesn't matter if it's more or less.  Thinking about it, people like Rhodes wouldn't do anything about it.  "It's a great deal without paying taxes." An Rui shook the money bag in his hand and said with a smile.  This transaction is a secret private transaction, and all the money earned belongs to Anrui himself, and there is no need to pay taxes to any force.  The legal system in all countries in the Seven Seas world is not perfect. Only some transactions on the surface need to be taxed, and the rest of the transactions are not controlled at all.  "This sentence really touches my heart." Rhodes smiled and winked.  Being a businessman will inevitably have to deal with taxes.  Naturally, you hate paying taxes, and no one wants to give part of their hard-earned money to others.  Helping the country become rich and powerful?  But not many people have that kind of state of mind.  "Marquis Rhodes, if nothing happens, I will take the first step." An Rui glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and decided to leave.  He has achieved his goal during this trip, obtained the Holy Belt of Suppressing Evil, and also obtained the Black Misty Dragon.  It's time to get busy preparing to go to sea.  "Anrui, don't leave in a hurry. In fact, I still have one more thing I want to talk to you about." Rhodes stretched out his hand and pressed it twice to signal Anrui not to worry, "You are quite satisfied with this harvest.  Right? " "Of course I'm satisfied. The income this time is more than what I earned from my hard work in business." "Haha, in fact, under normal circumstances, I would not pay so much dividends to my gladiators. This time we are.  It¡¯s our first time to cooperate. So I made an exception.¡± ¡°It¡¯s best if you understand.¡± Rhode looked at An Rui, ¡°I want you to help me fight again.  But this time I can¡¯t give you 30% of the bonus, I can only give you 10%. I hope you can understand.¡± ¡°Another fight?¡± An Rui frowned.  He still has many things to be busy with and doesn't have much time to waste in the arena.  Moreover, the 10% bonus is far less attractive than the 30% bonus, so it is difficult for him to be very interested.  "Yes, let's fight again! After you defeated Black Misty Dragon, you won the favor of many viewers. Many people want to see you in the arena again. It would be a pity if you just leave like this." "  If there is another fight in the short term, I can consider it. If the fight is scheduled for too long, I'm afraid I won't have the time. " "Don't worry. I plan to arrange your next fight in about three to five days, it won't be too long.  "It's okay for three to five days. Tell me, who is my opponent next time?" An Rui said for the sake of the bag of diamond coins in his hand.Accepted this matter.  "My men captured a Cyclops a few days ago. I want you to have a fight with the Cyclops. In this fight, you can use the ability to transform into a half-dragon, but you are not allowed to release the Black Misty Dragon. That will  It's become a battle between Black Misty Dragon and Cyclops, not a battle between you and Cyclops," Rhodes replied happily.  Cyclops is a branch of the giant race, but all giants are very strong and have racial bonuses.  Anyone who can be arranged to be An Rui's opponent must be a leader among the Cyclops family, at least at the same level.  "No problem, using the power of half-dragon transformation is almost the same as directly releasing the black mist dragon." An Rui agreed.  He really wanted to take the opportunity to see how powerful Black Misty Dragon's half-dragon transformation was.  "Besides that, I have a small request." Rhodes raised a finger and his pupils shrank slightly, "I hope you can lose in the next fight, to your opponent Cyclops." "  You want me to lose?" An Rui was surprised.  "Yes." Rhodes spread his hands, "If you don't lose, how can I make money? You are a hot gladiator now, and there will definitely be many viewers betting on you to win. Your heart is not in Port Saint Miracle at all.  , I will leave sooner or later. I want to make a small profit before you leave." "No." An Rui's previous friendly expression disappeared and he said firmly, "I only win battles, not lose them.  I don't care about victory or defeat, what I want is to make money." "You should find someone else to help you earn this kind of money." An Rui shook his head. He was really not interested in losing the battle.  "An Rui, this is so chilling. I didn't expect you to say such hurtful words. Don't forget who you got the wallet in your hand from." Rhode's face also darkened.  After standing down, a unique momentum of the superior person spread out, making the surrounding air become more solemn.  "Our previous cooperation did make me a lot of money. I appreciate your kindness, but it is really impossible for me to lose the battle under the eyes of tens of thousands of people. I can't bear to accept your fate."  "I didn't expect you to be so obsessed with face. This is just a battle. Why do you care so much about winning or losing?" "Everyone has something they care about. I care about face especially." An Rui raised his calloused hand.  He tapped his cheek with his finger.  "It's understandable that young people are arrogant, but this is not a good thing. You have to be flexible." Rhodes thought for a while, "Okay, I will raise the price for you in the next fight, and I will give you 1.5  What do you think of the bonus? Although you won¡¯t earn as much as you did this time in the next battle, it won¡¯t be less than 70,000 gold coins, which is still very considerable.¡±  It's a matter of face." An Rui stood up and said, "Marquis Rhodes, if you ask me to help you win a battle or a fair fight, I will consider helping you, but if you ask me to lose the battle, I will help you.  "No need to talk." "An Rui." Rhode's face became even more angry, and his voice became cold and bitter, "I advise you to be smarter and think more carefully, and don't act out of emotion."  In fact, it already has an obvious threatening nature. In Holy Miracle Port, few people have the courage to disobey Rhodes' orders.  His words can influence the fate of an ordinary person.  An Rui¡¯s eyebrows rose, and the other party¡¯s words made him very unhappy.  "Sorry, there are some things that I will never learn, and I don't bother to learn. Thank you for the diamond coins. Our cooperation is over." An Rui shook the money bag in his hand and put it into his pocket.  He strode towards the door.  "An Rui, I order you to sit back!" Rhode said coldly, looking at An Rui's leaving figure.  Anrui has no intention of stopping at all. Only he can order others, no one can order him!  At the door, two figures suddenly appeared, sealing the entire door.  These two men are both Rhodes' subordinates, and they are both very difficult and strong men. Just standing there gives people the feeling of being overwhelmed by a majestic mountain.  An Rui¡¯s footsteps had to stop, and his face became increasingly ugly.  "Anrui, this is the Holy Miracle Port. I can cover the sky with one hand here. Everyone must obey my orders! Those who dare to disobey my orders have all become corpses floating in the city's drainage ditches. Do you want to be them?  One of them?" Rhodes said coldly.  The two of them were talking very harmoniously before, but within a moment, they all turned against each other and turned into the current tense situation.  "I have no interest in becoming a corpse, and I have no interest in obeying your orders. In my opinion, we are just a cooperative relationship, not a superior-subordinate relationship." Anrui's perception is fully opened, and he uses vision and hearing toThe feeling is that everyone around him is locked in, and he is ready to fight at any time.  "You are wrong, very wrong. From the very beginning, I have been above you. It seems that my previous attitude towards you was too kind, which gave you the illusion that I was very good.  He's easy to talk to." Rhode's eyes were filled with coldness. "You don't even think about how a person who runs a gladiatorial arena can be a good talker." "It seems that I did have some misunderstandings about you before.  "An Rui turned his head and looked coldly at Rhodes who was still sitting in his seat behind him, "You are not a good partner."
