Cosmic Professional Gladiator-Chapter 710 - Matter of Convenience (1)

710 Matter of Convenience (1)
In the empty hall.

Magu Shenyi, the portly man, and the young woman collapsed to the ground, their limbs limp.

“Transfer?” The portly man immediately smiled obsequiously and said, “The gang’s capital management is very strict. Large deposits and withdrawals of funds on Magu Island require multiple authorizations. Transferring large sums of money from the gang boss’s account also requires the boss’s personal authorization. The three of us can’t transfer too much money at all.”

“The reason the gang has strict rules for transferring funds is that they’re also worried a traitor will transfer out all the funds,” Magu Shenyi explained. “The amount we can transfer is very limited.”

The woman hurriedly nodded.

There was indeed a limit to what they could transfer.

Moreover, they had worked hard for so many years. Money was their lifeblood, so they weren’t willing to transfer it out so easily.

“From the looks of it, you’re really not afraid of death,” Xu Jingming remarked with an amused chuckle.

“No, no, no,” the portly man hurriedly said. “Your Excellency, do you know about the Jinhuang family?”

“Threatening me?” Xu Jingming’s eyes turned cold.

Magu Shenyi berated his companion. “Why would His Excellency care about the Jinhuang family? All the esteemed guests in the auction hall were killed because they angered His Excellency.”

“All of them?” The portly man and the young woman were stunned.

All the guests from the seven human countries were killed?

This masked man was simply crazy.

To a lunatic, he didn’t care about any of the factions in the seven human countries. Why would he care about the Jinhuang family?

Magu Shenyi immediately gazed at Xu Jingming obsequiously. “Your Excellency, I believe you know that the Magu Gang is backed by the strongest family in Eastern Cloud, the Jinhuang family. Our Magu Gang is only the Jinhuang family’s dog.”

“Why hasn’t Eastern Cloud done anything to Magu Island? It’s not that they don’t have the ability to do so, but the Jinhuang family doesn’t allow it,” Magu Shenyi explained. “Our gang appears to have a very high income, but a large amount of annual profits have to be handed over to the Jinhuang family.”

“The number one family in Eastern Cloud, the Jinhuang family?” Xu Jingming suddenly looked out. “It looks like the Jinhuang family doesn’t trust you either. They even arranged for experts on the island.”

“Experts from the Jinhuang family?” Magu Shenyi, the portly man, and the young woman were stunned.

As the core upper echelons of the gang, they naturally knew who the highest ruler on the island was! It was the retired old man.

“He’s here. I’ll finish him off first.” Xu Jingming disappeared from the hall after saying that.

“Jinhuang Yi is a legendary warrior who reached Lv. 20 800 years ago. With his current strength, even if he’s not number one in the seven human countries, he’s among the strongest,” Magu Shenyi lowered his voice and said, “This mysterious expert actually dares to fight him?”

“According to the intelligence, Jinhuang Yi’s strength is estimated to be at Lv. 23,” the woman said in shock. “He’s stationed on Magu Island, but he’s indeed retired. After all, he’s in his 900s.”

“This mysterious person is a little crazy,” the portly man whispered. “He killed all the esteemed guests of the seven human countries in one go, and now, he’s going to fight Jinhuang Yi!”
…

The white-haired elder wearing a hat was slightly hunchbacked and thin, but he had a tall frame. His eyes under his white brows appeared turbid.

He walked on the street, and his figure turned into a blur as he quickly arrived at the inner island.

Leaves fell under the slightly-cold night wind.

The white-haired elder suddenly stopped, and a figure wearing a ferocious mask appeared in front of him.

“What a young aura.” Jinhuang Yi smiled and sighed. “Every time I sense a young aura, I feel the beauty of youth. I’m even willing to exchange everything I have for a young body. Unfortunately… it’s impossible.”

“You’re young, boy. Why’d you come to Magu Island to seek your own death?” Jinhuang Yi shook his head and sighed.

Xu Jingming stared at him. “Are you feeling very confident, Jinhuang Yi?”

“If you’ve fought countless battles over the past 1,000 years, you’d have forged unbreakable confidence like mine.” Jinhuang Yi’s eyes glinted with absolute belief. “I became a legend at 125 years old. After more than 800 years, I’ve reached a height that’s almost beyond the human race.”

“A height almost beyond the human race?” Xu Jingming nodded. “How high is that?”

Jinhuang Yi smirked. “Very few people in the entire Eastern Cloud have reached this limit. Even among the seven human countries… I may not be the strongest, but no one should be able to defeat me.”

It was tough to reach Lv. 20, which made one a legend. Every level up after that was a breakthrough of the human limit. Jinhuang Yi had a reason for his confidence.

“You became a legend at such a young age. Too bad you’ll die here today.” Jinhuang Yi shook his head.

“Jinhuang Yi, let me teach you a lesson,” Xu Jingming said. “Never be arrogant! There’s a frog that lives in a well, thinking the sky is as big as the mouth of a well. One day, it jumped out of the well and saw the vast sky. Only then did it realize… the sky is really big.”

“But isn’t the sky it sees after jumping out of the well just another bigger well?” Xu Jingming looked at him. “No matter how impressive you are, always be humble.”

“Otherwise, you’re just a pompous frog.”

Jinhuang Yi laughed. “Haha! Boy, what you’re saying is amusing, but life and death is determined by strength, not words! I’ll slap you 18 times to make you realize this.”
