Chapter 76: Mr.Dealer's Deal.
"Felix, do you want to make a deal with me?"
Mr.Dealer said, his expression was serious.
Felix narrowed his eyes when he heard the man's motive and questioned back.
"Deal? What kind of deal are you talking about?"
Mr.Dealer looked right into the boy's eyes and replied.
"I want you to fight for me."
"Fight?"
Felix was surprised and wondered if he had heard it right.
No matter what, he didn't think that he was anywhere as strong as the man in front of him.
So when Mr.Dealer asked Felix to fight for him, his first thought was whether the man had mistook him for a hidden master.
Felix shook his head and rebuked.
"You're more powerful than me, so why would you want me to fight for you?"
Mr.Dealer realized that the boy had mistaken his intentions so he gave a light cough and rephrased his words.
"What I mean is, I want you to fight in some of the arena battles chosen by me.", he said slightly lowering his voice.
Felix had a look of contemplation as he dived deep into the man's words.
'So the reason he was acting all mysterious was to hook me into fighting battles for him....'
Suddenly he thought this was similar to something he had heard and remembered what had happened with Steve.
'Yesterday Steve told me that this man scammed him into fighting in arena battles and had won money from betting on him, is this the same reason he wants me to fight for him?'
Felix frowned as he didn't want to be used by someone else to make them money.
He replied with a sour tone in his voice.
"If you're thinking about earning money by making me fight for you, then I'm sorry but I'll have to refuse your deal."
The both of them then reached upstairs and entered into one of the many rooms there.
Similar to the outside, there were a few chairs and a table in the room where the both of them sat down.
Finally a bit impatient, Felix asked the man about what he truly wanted.
"Now can you tell me the reason you want me to fight for you and everything?"
Mr.Dealer nodded and started speaking with a serious expression on his face.
"Then let me reveal to you my true objective." story-source-MvLeMpYr
He paused for a second and started from the beginning.
"I want you to participate in some arena battles of zero-rank cultivators where you would be fighting against specific fighters."
Felix raised his brows and asked.
"Specific fighters? Not just random?"
"Yes, specific fighters. You do know that there are two types of battle in the arena, right? First is the random battle one and the other is the challenge battle one.", he explained.
"In the challenge battle, you can directly go and ask for the person you want to fight with to battle with you in the arena. And that is what I want you to do.", Mr.Dealer patiently told him everything.
Felix listened to the information and asked what he really wanted to know.
"That's all good, but who are these people you want me to fight, and for what reason?"
Mr.Dealer had a dark look on his face when he thought about those certain people.
There were not many people in the world he hated but the ones that he did hate were only those lunatics.
He had always wanted to exterminate these people from the face of this world for committing such vile atrocities and loss, but he was just one person while they were a whole organization with a large number of members.
That was why he was going as far as involving a complete newbie in it, because there were some things that he couldn't possibly do and there was no other option than using such a thorough and foolproof plan which was taking small steps toward the goal.
There was a sudden drop in the temperature inside the atmosphere inside the room, getting a bit chilled after Felix asked about them.
With his voice filled with anger, Mr.Dealer finally told the boy who he was going to fight against.
"The ones who we are going against are...the dark guilds!"
