"Life and Death Agreement?" Chen Fan mused.
Brother Hu couldn't help but ask, hearing Chen Fan inquire about this, "Mr. Chen, why are you suddenly asking about the Red Leaf Bar?"
Chen Fan offered no explanation, "What is the exact location of the Red Leaf Bar?"
Brother Hu was startled and quickly advised, "Mr. Chen, you're not planning to go there, are you?! It's very dangerous there."
"Tell me the exact location, I have some business to attend to." Chen Fan's mind was made up.
Brother Hu finally said, "It's in Panlong Mountain, in the eastern suburbs."
Chen Fan nodded and got up to leave. However, as he reached the door, he stopped and looked back at Brother Hu, instructing, "Find my disciple as soon as possible. If you have any leads, call me immediately."
"Yes, Mr. Chen, don't worry! Finding people is my responsibility," Brother Hu assured Chen Fan, patting his chest.
Panlong Mountain, located in the eastern suburbs of Jiang City, was a tourist attraction under development by Jiang City.
However, Panlong Mountain had been under construction since Chen Fan arrived in Jiang City. For the five years of university and even during internships, the place was still being built.
Previously, Chen Fan hadn't found anything strange about it, attributing it to slow construction progress. But now, Chen Fan finally understood that the construction was merely a facade, its true purpose being to deceive.
Chen Fan drove to Panlong Mountain.
The road leading up the mountain was very well-maintained, smooth and with few vehicles. Moreover, not a single construction vehicle was present, further confirming Chen Fan's suspicions.
Chen Fan drove to the mountainside of Panlong Mountain, where there was a parking lot.
Various luxury cars were parked inside. As Chen Fan's vehicle stopped, a young woman in a bunny girl outfit gracefully walked over and opened the car door for him.
However, upon opening the door and seeing how young Chen Fan was and how ordinary his clothes were, the woman couldn't help but frown slightly, "Sir, did you take a wrong turn?"
Chen Fan did not look like a typical guest of the Red Leaf Bar.
"I'm here to participate in a boxing match," Chen Fan replied directly.
"Hehehe, participate in a boxing match?" The bunny girl giggled, her eyes full of mockery.
"What's wrong? Is there some condition to participating in a boxing match here?" Chen Fan asked as he got out of the car.
The bunny girl smiled and asked, "Little handsome guy, anyone can participate in the boxing match, but what is it that you're so determined to do, coming here to participate? Do you even know what kind of place this is?"
"Isn't this the Red Leaf Bar?"
The bunny girl sized Chen Fan up. Although Chen Fan had a strong physique, compared to the boxers, he looked like a mere child.
This made the bunny girl chuckle again, "Heh heh, little handsome guy, since you're so eager to die, I'll take you to register. But I must warn you, once you register, you cannot withdraw for any reason, and the ring requires a life-and-death agreement. Only one person can walk out standing."
Chen Fan nodded, "Thank you then."
He had already made up his mind to enter the Red Leaf Bar. As for the danger, he believed that with his current strength and the muscle-enhancing cream he had used, dealing with these boxers should not be a problem.
The bunny girl led Chen Fan into a sightseeing elevator on the mountainside, which went directly to the summit.
Inside the elevator, Chen Fan tentatively asked, "I heard the Red Leaf Bar is also connected to assassins?"
The bunny girl covered her mouth and chuckled again, looking at Chen Fan with her charming eyes, "Little handsome guy, when you come here, you should mind your own business. Don't ask about things you shouldn't, or you'll get into trouble. I'm only warning you out of kindness because you're so handsome."
As she spoke, the bunny girl reached out a slender finger and playfully hooked Chen Fan's chin.
At this moment, the elevator doors opened, and they had arrived at the summit of Panlong Mountain.
Chen Fan saw a building standing at the summit, with four large characters written outside: "Red Leaf Bar."
Chen Fan frowned slightly, feeling that this Red Leaf Bar was not as simple as he had imagined. However, since he had come this far, he naturally would not back down. He planned to inquire about the assassins after entering and see if he could find any clues.
Leaving the elevator, the bunny girl said, "Little handsome guy, that's where you register for the boxing match. But if you want to find out about certain things, you can choose to enter the arena. The last person standing in the arena not only receives a huge reward but also gets a chance to ask the Red Leaf Bar for a favor."
"Good luck, my little handsome guy."
With that, the bunny girl swayed her hips and returned to the elevator.
"Arena?" Chen Fan looked to the left of the building, where there was an open doorway with a sign that read 'Arena Registration'.
A hint of joy appeared in Chen Fan's eyes, and he walked directly towards the arena registration area.
Compared to the burly, scarred strongmen, Chen Fan's figure was like that of a child.
"Hey, where did this kid come from? Did you come to the wrong place?" A two-meter-tall strongman, with chains wrapped around him, looked down at Chen Fan with a mocking expression and asked.
The sudden voice drew the attention of the dozen or so strongmen present.
Chen Fan ignored the strongman with chains and a height of two meters and walked straight to the counter inside the hall, "I want to register for the arena."
His words immediately caused a burst of laughter throughout the hall.
"Hahaha, what did that kid say? He wants to participate in the arena?"
"Kid, have you weaned yet?"
"Hurry back to your mother's embrace and drink milk. Someone like you, I could kill with just one finger."
The staff member registering participants was also taken aback. In all his years, this was the first time he had seen such a young boy come to register for the arena.
"I want to register for the arena. Is there a problem?" Chen Fan asked the staff member, ignoring the surrounding mockery.
"No problem. You want to die, but we can't stop you?" the staff member said mockingly.
He took out a registration form and a life-and-death agreement, and threw them directly to Chen Fan, "Let me tell you, once you sign your name, you can't go back on it. And in the arena, life and death are not guaranteed. Sign it if you've thought it through."
Everyone's gaze turned to Chen Fan, their faces filled with contempt.
They even thought that Chen Fan would surely wet his pants after hearing the staff member's words and then run away.
However, to their surprise, Chen Fan did not flee. Instead, he calmly picked up a pen and began to fill in the information.
"It seems I can add another skull to my collection," a strongman with four skulls tattooed on his body said, a murderous glint in his eyes.
An hour later, the staff member checked the time and then looked at the registration form, "Including the people below, forty people are enough. Follow me down to compete."
With that, the staff member led them into a large iron cage marked with the number four in the back.
This was an elevator that slowly descended into the mountain.
Chen Fan also noticed that there was more than one elevator; there were four in total, arranged in different locations.
Gradually, shouts began to echo from the passage below.
When the elevator stopped, a strong beam of light shone out, and a smell of sweat mixed with blood made Chen Fan frown slightly.
"Kid, don't get scared and pee your pants later," the strongman with the skull tattoo sneered at Chen Fan, licking his dry lips.
Chen Fan ignored him and looked outside the iron cage.
He discovered that outside was a vast square. Four elevators were parked in the four corners, and the walls surrounding the square were filled with spectators, from whom the shouts were coming.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, the elevator cage opened, and the gladiatorial combat began!
