Time ticked by, and Targaryen Isa and her companions across from them wore grim expressions.
What was originally intended as giving them special privileges has now become their shackles.
The heavy armor made the gladiators sluggish; every time they were just a hair's breadth away from victory, they wished they could yell at their gladiators to take off that armor that was armed to the teeth...
But now, when they give orders, they can't hear them at all.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, time is running out; in three minutes, this armor will be needed…
William Cam saw the nervous look on Targaryen Isa's face and gently took her hand: "Don't be afraid...we won't lose!"
After listening to William Cam's words, Targaryen Isa said, "I have a bad feeling. You know, if Boudica's gladiator doesn't do anything but run, he can exhaust all of our gladiators' strength..."
William Cam nodded: "Isa, I understand your concerns, but don't be nervous. The outcome of this gladiatorial contest is no longer our concern."
Targaryen Isa immediately thought of John Jonard and his group on the other side.
"Yes! The agents!"
Targaryen Isa paused mid-sentence, a hint of disappointment in her eyes: "But what happened in the arena..."
William Cam said with a smile, "Don't worry, this is Illuminati territory."
Targaryen Isa nodded with some concern: "Yes, that's true, but should we go find them?"
William Cam shook his head: "Of course not. If we go, we'll be begging them and still owe them a favor. They're not helping us now, they're helping themselves. We're all in the same boat; if we lose, they'll lose too!"
Just then, a bell rang out from the arena.
The sound of this bell means that three minutes have passed.
Inside the arena, 2734 stopped, panting, and said to Number Three, "You piece of shit, are you even a man? Do you dare to have a man's fight?!"
Number Three continued to look at him coldly. Compared to Gladiator Number 2734, Number Three appeared much more composed; he was simply breathing normally.
It seems that the three-minute escape just now wasn't his doing at all.
Seeing that number three remained motionless, 2734 felt bitter.
The reason is simple: if he doesn't attack now, Number Three will be able to rest again, but if he does attack, he can't catch up.
Left with no other choice, he roared and continued the chase.
But when one chased, the other started to run.
He chased, he ran.
But even though it was right in front of him, he always managed to escape.
...
Just as Xiao Ce had feared, the atmosphere in John Jonard's private room was extremely strange.
"My lord, I never expected them to do this... Isn't this cheating?"
"My lord, if we keep going like this, Prince William's gladiator will eventually exhaust all his strength and lose..."
"My lord, we need to think of something... If this continues, we're going to lose everything..."
"Acting Lord, time is of the essence... We can't afford to lose this time..."
This feeling of fear is contagious, spreading from one person to another.
The expressions on these people's faces were increasingly grim.
Of course, the ugliest one had to be John Jonard.
There is no other reason.
He was a newly appointed agent, although the operations here were instructed by his chairman.
However, many of his promises were just boasts.
If he loses, it's questionable whether he can still serve as the agent.
Among these people, hundreds of billions of soles were bet on this gambling game.
Such a failure would inevitably be unbearable. And to lose twice in a row…
John Jonard grew increasingly frightened as he thought about it, and eventually stopped thinking about it altogether.
John Jonard said, "There are still ways. I actually made a worst-case scenario plan from the beginning, so there are ways..."
The group looked anxiously at John Jonard and said, "Sir, you are the agent, and we are the family representatives. If this matter is not handled properly, we may not only lose our titles, but we may also lose our heads."
"Yes, Agent, please hurry, if you have a solution, please tell me..."
After listening to what these people were saying, John Jonard quickly said, "Actually, I brought a few gunmen with me when I came in this time... These gunmen are currently in the audience. If I give the order, they can take action and kill their gladiator directly."
The wealthy businessmen on John Jonard's side, now completely shameless, hurriedly said, "Alright, such a great opportunity! Hurry up, Agent, what are you thinking? Give the order!"
John Jonard said, "I need to sign an agreement. After all, there's a strict gun ban in Lingas City. If we don't find any, that's fine, but if we do, I need you to stand with us. We need to share the responsibility because the law doesn't punish everyone. This time, the benefits are shared by everyone, and of course, the risks are borne by everyone..."
After John Jonard spoke, the group seemed to be conflicted.
The situation within the arena is also changing.
"Done, I'll sign!"
"I'll sign too..."
Soon everyone started shouting excitedly.
John Jonard produced an agreement, which was then signed by everyone present.
John Jonard smiled and said, "Okay, everyone, there's no need to be nervous. This is the worst-case scenario, and I won't bring it out unless absolutely necessary."
The others were puzzled by John Jonard's words: "Sir, what do you mean by this?"
John Jonard didn't answer them, but instead said to the white advisor beside him, "Go signal them...tell them to wait for their opportunity..."
After listening to John Jonard's words, the white advisor said nothing more.
Just left.
After watching the white consultant leave, John Jonard said, "It's best if they don't find out. If they do, I've already told the gunmen that they were all acting under the orders of William Cam and Targaryen Isa."
"Therefore, we need to agree on a consistent story. The reason I had you sign those agreements was because I was afraid that some of us might have been infiltrated by Viktor King, the East Asia Chairman. But now there's no need to worry; we're all in the same boat now..."
After listening to John Jonard's words, the group praised him.
They felt no pressure whatsoever to betray William Cam.
After all, their behavior just now had already made them very unhappy.
...
At this moment, Night Owl was in Kimberly's private room, constantly looking around with binoculars.
His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Just then, Kimberly walked in.
Night Owl asked Kimberly, "Mr. Kimberly, how is it?"
Kimberly said to Night Owl, "Don't worry, we've already marked the people in those seats you mentioned and have sent people to follow them. If they raise their guns, our people will take them down."
Night Owl nodded: "There are thirty-nine people in total. You've set up surveillance on them all."
Kimberly nodded: "Don't worry, I've already arranged it."
Night Owl nervously clasped his hands together, saying, "I hope we haven't missed anything."
In fact, Xiao Ce had Night Cat use a telescope to search the arena. Since there were still a few Shadow Guards here, reconnaissance was a required course for them.
So, with the help of a few people investigating, they quickly managed to put some suspicious individuals under surveillance.
After setting up surveillance, Night Owls went to Kimberly.
My original intention was to ask if I could find someone trustworthy in the arena.
After all, although the arena belongs to the Illuminati, there are actually two factions within the Illuminati.
They didn't believe that John Jonard could control everything.
After hearing what Night Owl said, Kimberly was truly disgusted by them today.
This time, after seeing Number Three's agile figure, he finally saw a glimmer of hope.
Seeing a glimmer of hope for victory, they then pulled out an even more disgusting tactic.
So Kimberly found the gladiator's security chief.
Kimberly knew this manager; his authority was equivalent to the curator's. Moreover, this man was extremely righteous and hated evil.
Kimberly went to the manager of the arena, who then arranged for people to be deployed to control the area.
Fortunately, the duel was a sensation; otherwise, the steward might not have been there.
Kimberly said to Night Owl, "Don't worry, even after your people set up the surveillance, the security chief still sent more people to several places near the arena."
Before Night Owl could speak, Kimberly said, "Don't worry, everything is being done quietly. Nobody knows anything right now..."
Night Owl bowed to Kimberly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Kimberly. Mr. Ce and Ms. Boudica have already told you that they owe you a great favor."
Kimberly shook his head: "No need, you don't owe us anything. On the contrary, I should thank you."
Night Owl looked at Kimberly with a hint of confusion.
Kimberly smiled and then said, "Because I reminded the Security Chief, which helped him. You see, the arena represents the Illuminati. If something like this happens inside the arena, it's a disgrace to the Illuminati. You know, since the arena opened, although there have been some violent incidents..."
"But bringing in a gun is a first. If they actually let us shoot, it would be a huge slap in the face to the head of security."
"You have no idea, when I told the arena security chief about this, his face turned green with anger... If they catch the person, it will be a great achievement. If they don't catch the person, it will be the biggest scandal, and he will be impeached and can no longer stay in this position."
boom!
boom!
Just then, gunshots rang out from the stands.
Upon hearing the gunshot, everyone instinctively looked towards the arena.
Fortunately, the two participants in the arena were still in a situation where one person was running and the other was chasing.
Meanwhile, a riot broke out inside the stadium.
However, it was quickly brought under control.
It's important to know that those two shots were actually fired while they were subduing the gunmen.
After the gunshot, the people in the places they had called out were all pinned down.
Of course, because the Night Owls checked very carefully, most of their checks were misread.
There were only four real gunmen.
They were all immediately subdued and arrested.
Upon hearing the gunshot, William Cam instinctively looked towards the arena.
At first, William Cam excitedly shouted, "Hahaha, they're here! They've finally arrived! Isa, you see, I told you so. We can't afford to lose, and they can't afford to lose even more... Kill him! Kill that rat!"
William Cam shouted excitedly.
But Targaryen Isa looked at the number three on the field, who was completely unharmed and still running very fast.
"What's going on? Why is he still running? Keep shooting!"
"Why aren't you shooting? Where are they? Where are they?"
William Cam looked around, while Targaryen Issa continued to look towards the audience.
But there were only two shots fired, and a commotion broke out in the audience; no one knew what was going on.
...
John Jonard was even more nervous at this point.
The other family representatives asked John Jonard, "Agent, what's going on? Why is there no follow-up? Why is there no movement at all?"
John Jonard looked at number three, who was still lively and energetic, and then looked towards the stands.
Although it was a commotion, he didn't know what was going on.
John Jonard quickly turned to the white advisor beside him and asked, "Go...go see what's going on..."
Before any of the advisors could leave, the white advisor who had just been sent out to give orders rushed in.
His face turned deathly pale: "Agent, something terrible has happened...something terrible has happened! The security chief here, Andrei, somehow got wind of our gunmen and had them under surveillance long ago. Our men were just about to make a move when they were tackled. The two gunshots just now were from when they were trying to seize the guns..."
"All four of us gunmen have been arrested!"
John Jonard's eyes widened in astonishment after hearing what the consultant said.
"what!"
"how so!"
The family representatives standing nearby said, "Don't rush, don't rush, that person is just fast...he doesn't have any other abilities..."
"Tell that 2734 to stop wearing that cumbersome armor. Make him take it off. Once he's off, we can catch him, and once we catch him, we'll have a better chance of winning..."
"Yes, hurry up and go... hurry up and go!"
Representatives from these families offered various suggestions and strategies.
And so, William Cam was notified again.
William Cam wanted to ask about the gun, but then he realized it was none of his business, so he decided to pretend he didn't know.
