Chapter 145 You're Not Afraid, But We Are

“Gandhiya is a city buried by coal mines. The people here have been mining since they were old enough to understand things. They earn meager wages, are covered in dirt, and do the most dangerous work for the city. But the money brought by the coal mines has not changed their impoverished lives. On the contrary, it has made them worse than before.”

Nick looked at the anxious audience below the stage and said, "People who are powerless to change the status quo can only rely on boxing, a sport full of blood and violence, to stimulate their senses. Of course, there are also people who want to make a quick buck."

“What does this have to do with me?” Asha asked.

Nick seemed surprised by Asa's words, stared at him, and gave him a meaningful look, as if he was thinking about something.

His brown eyes seemed to see right through Asa.

Qi Yuan noticed Nick's gaze and wondered why Nick was staring at Asa like that.

They and Ao braved the wind and snow, enduring the cold, to travel from the city of Jue to Gangdia to meet with the "Dawn." After all, they wanted to join an organization like the "Dawn" that claimed to be doing good, so they were somewhat compassionate and felt sympathy or pity for the people of Gangdia when they heard Nick recount their lives.

But Asa's statement, "What does this have to do with me?" sounded heartless to everyone, which made Nick wonder what Asa's real motives were for joining Dawn.

Qi Yuan understood Nick's intentions, but given his position, he couldn't say it outright.

“Mr. Asa, don’t you want to place a bet and give it a try? Coming to underground boxing isn’t just about enjoying the excitement; it’s also about making a little money.” Nick deliberately changed the subject, not voicing his doubts.

At this moment, Asha was filled with anxiety to escape.

The underground boxing ring is full of all sorts of shady characters, and it's dangerous for them. Bringing Qi Yuan to such a dangerous place only increases his and Andrei's workload.

“Who cares about that little bit of money? Mr. Nick, if you have nothing else to do, please see us out.”

“Mr. Asa, you’re really hard to figure out.” Nick looked at Asa with great interest. “You give me a very contradictory feeling. Why don’t we have a frank talk? What exactly is your purpose in coming to Gangdia to get close to [Dawn]?”

“Mr. Nick, you’re meddling a bit too much.”

"Although I am an ally of Dawn, I am the one who provides most of Dawn's funding, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Dawn is my organization. I am protecting my own organization, which is not meddling too much."

Nick said matter-of-factly.

Asha was at a loss for words.

Qi Yuan looked at him and asked, "Mr. Nick, are you aware of Mr. Ao's past?"

Nick tilted his head and looked at Qi Yuan when he heard his question: "What does this have to do with Ao?"

“Our companion who didn’t come is an old acquaintance of Mr. Ao. Because of certain things, he wants to atone for his past mistakes, and our advice to him was to find a reliable organization to join so that he could atone for his sins by helping others. We only came to Gangdia because of him.” Qi Yuan looked at Asa. “The boss only didn’t tell you about this because he was somewhat considerate of our companion’s feelings.”

Qi Yuan's explanation perfectly explains why Asa was so indifferent after hearing about the living conditions of the people of Gangdia. It's because the person who truly wanted to join [Dawn] was not Asa, but Casio.

"Is it that friend with the grey-blue eyes?" Nick asked.

Qi Yuan nodded. "You can ask Ao about him. We can lie to you, but Ao won't. Besides, if you know enough about Ao's past, you should also know why our friend is atoning for his sins."

Nick didn't speak immediately.

Ao's past is not actually a secret.

When Lille found Ao, who was nearly dead, Ao told them about his past.

His relationship with Ao was fairly good; he had heard that Ao was looking for someone, a very handsome man.

He recalled Casio's appearance, although Asa and his group always wore large cloaks with hoods, and their faces were mostly covered by scarves.

But I did see Casio's face once, and it was indeed a beautiful face.

"Why did you hide this from us?" Nick asked again, having figured everything out.

Qi Yuan replied, "Go back and ask Mr. Ao, and you'll know what happened. That's all we can say."

"Alright, then let's have this boxing match..."

"My God! I heard that the head of the Davis family is coming to watch tonight's boxing match!"

"Really? Why is he here? I remember that the head of the Davis family rarely leaves Juecheng?"

"Who knows? Hasn't the Leopold family been saying lately that the Davis family bombed their collapsed mine? Are they here to investigate?"

"Is it really necessary? Only seventy-odd people died at that mine. Why did the patriarch have to personally intervene?"

"Which VIP room are they in? Let me see if this is true."

The spectators in the next stand suddenly started chatting excitedly.

Those who can sit in the VIP room are all wealthy people in Gondia, and their sources of information are faster than many others.

Nick's eyes flashed with surprise after they interrupted him.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and a burly man walked in and whispered a few words in Nick's ear.

Nick's expression changed again upon hearing this.

“Mr. Asha, I have urgent business to attend to and must leave first. If you wish to return, I will have my men take you back.”

“No need, we know what to do with just a few roads,” Asa refused Nick’s help.

Nick apologized and quickly left the room.

Only Qi Yuan and the others remained in the room. Sasha asked in a low voice, puzzled, "Why is the patriarch here to watch the boxing match?"

“Gandia is so poor, the biggest entertainment venue they probably have is this boxing ring. Just look at Nick, he brought us here, not to a group of women, but here. Mr. Qi Yuan, shall we leave?”

Andrei leaned close to Qi Yuan's ear and whispered.

Qi Yuan looked up at the wide stands opposite and asked, "Do you think Noah will appear over there later?"

Andrei looked across at the opposite side, then around at the surroundings, and said, "Judging by the size of that side, it should be the best viewing platform. There's a high chance the patriarch will be there."

“Then let’s wait here for a while and see if Noah notices us,” Qi Yuan said.

They hadn't been in Gangdia for long, and Andrei and the others hadn't had time to send a message to Noah to report the situation, so Noah didn't know that Qi Yuan was also there.

But when Andrei and Asa heard Qi Yuan's words, they broke out in a cold sweat.

Thinking to himself: Mr. Qi Yuan, we don't mind what you want to do with the head of the family, but we are afraid that if the head of the family sees you in such a chaotic and dangerous place, he will deduct our wages when we get home!
