Silver Warrior was directly hit to the ground as a deep pit appeared on the ground.

Xue Jin could no longer remain calm when he saw this. He slammed the table and stood up, staring at Mo Xiu in disbelief.

Mo Xiu also turned to look at Xue Jin with a smile on his face, appearing very polite.

Xue Jin shuddered when he saw Mo Xiu’s smile. What exactly was going on?

The emcee did not react to the sudden end of the competition. After a short moment of shock, he immediately announced the results.

“The Blood Fist didn’t disappoint and won easily!”

Text message notifications resounded throughout the entire venue. They had received the rewards from betting.

Anyone who wasn’t an idiot would bet on Mo Xiu winning this match, so the audience was extremely excited.

The entire arena was in an uproar. The overwhelming cheers made it impossible to hear anything else.

At this moment, Xue Jin’s phone rang. He glanced at it before answering the call. Then, he lowered his head and said something as he walked towards the backstage.

Mo Xiu jumped off the stage and stopped Xue Jin.

Xue Jin roared, “Mo Xiu! Get out of my way! I’ll settle your matter later!”

The four or five people beside Xue Jin stood in front of Mo Xiu, protecting him as he left.

Mo Xiu raised his right hand to his head.

Xue Jin was somewhat puzzled as he held the phone. What was he doing? He looked like he was greeting someone.

The next moment, something unexpected happened.

A flying knife dagger out of thin air behind Xue Jin. As it spun, the back of the dagger hit the phone.

Xue Jin was caught off guard and the phone was sent flying. Then, the phone flew through the air in a perfect arc before landing in Mo Xiu’s hand.

Mo Xiu placed the phone to his ear and heard a voice coming from it.

“Hey! Hey! What happened? You have to make up for today’s loss.”

Mo Xiu replied, “I can make up for it, but… I’ve found you.”

Just as Xue Jin was about to order his men to snatch the phone back, another flying dagger appeared in the air and blocked their escape route. Mo Xiu took the opportunity to slip away.

The one who threw the flying dagger to cover Mo Xiu was naturally Mu Qingyi.

Mu Qingyi had always been in the arena. In fact, Mu Qingyi was present in every match that Mo Xiu appeared in.

It was also Mu Qingyi who had used her skill to snatch Xue Jin’s phone.

The mission Mo Xiu had assigned Mu Qingyi at the start was to enter the competition grounds to provide Mo Xiu with support.

Thus, the person who had been closest to Mo Xiu all this time was Mu Qingyi.

Mu Qingyi was unable to infiltrate the enemy, but her identity and background allowed her to enter the arena without being suspected.

Her parents had made all of her arrangements for her since she was young and had no freedom.

Now that the college entrance examination was over, she finally obtained a short period of freedom. It was not hard to understand why she had come here to find some excitement. There were many people who had the same situation as Mu Qingyi, so it would not attract Xue Jin’s attention.

Xue Jin roared, “Capture him quickly!”

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the crowd. Gradually, the entire place became quiet. Everyone realized that a battle was happening outside.

The battle did not last long. A group of people walked in from outside.

After seeing the clothes of these people, the entire place became silent.

The people who came were actually from the army. Why would they alert the army?

The leader pointed at Xue Jin and grabbed him.

Although Xue Jin was still unclear of the situation, he immediately activated his four skills to accelerate and run outside.

Five minutes later, Xue Jin was pushed back into the arena. No one could leave because the entire rooftop was under the military’s control.

“Xue Jin, I’m Ye Qingfeng from the military. Cooperate with the law enforcement team to capture you.”

Xue Jin sneered. “I’m just here to watch a competition. If you want to capture me, so be it.”

Ye Qingfeng took out a name list and held it up for everyone to see.

When Xue Jin saw the name list, he knew that he was finished.

Ye Qingfeng shouted, “This is the name list of all the people who are here today. We know your real identities. Whoever can give evidence of the person-in-charge can leave.”

Everyone shouted, “It’s him, Xue Jin!”

“That’s right, it’s him.”

Ye Qingfeng said, “Did you hear that? Xue Jin, I now have a lot of evidence to prove that you are the person-in-charge here. Do you have anything else to say?”

Xue Jin lowered his head and said no more.

Ye Qingfeng continued, “Tell me, who is your boss?”

“Who is my boss? I’m the boss. You’ve already investigated clearly. Why are you still asking who the boss is?”

Ye Qingfeng wasn’t in a hurry. He found a chair and sat down. “Mr. Mo, let’s begin the performance.”

At this moment, Mo Xiu and Mu Qingyi walked out from the crowd.

When Xue Jin saw Mo Xiu appear at this moment, he immediately understood and cursed.

“Mo Xiu, you bastard. I always thought that you were just a young man who was overly arrogant. I didn’t expect you to be so shrewd.”

Mo Xiu shook his head and said, “My performance wasn’t perfect. You were too confident. Tell me, who is the boss behind this? Who was the person who called you?”

Xue Jin replied, “He’s just a big client. Who can order me around?”

Mo Xiu smiled happily, very happily.

“Hahaha, is that so? I already know that your real source of profit isn’t the revenue from the bets, but from informing your boss behind the scenes of the outcome. Then, your boss will place a bet on the winning side, and you will reap the profits.”

Xue Jin stared straight at Mo Xiu as though he wanted to eat him.

Mo Xiu continued, “There are two benefits to this kind of profit source. Firstly, even if the law enforcement team comes to raid the arena, you won’t lose too much. Secondly, you can hide the boss behind the scenes.”

Xue Jin looked at Mo Xiu with lifeless eyes. He no longer had the mood to ask Mo Xiu how he knew, because he knew that he was finished.

In fact, Mo Xiu had discovered a clue after the first King’s War. When Xue Jin gave him his rewards, Xue Jin saw that his total income was three million yuan, yet Xue Jin had given him more than half of his income.

Later on, Mo Xiu always calculated the time and went to look for Xue Jin when Xue Jin and Zhang Siyuan were settling accounts. After a while, he finally confirmed that he had not seen things. The income they received from the arena was not high.

The arena could not afford to lose money, so there must be other ways to earn money. They could only participate in gambling.

After knowing the gambling method of the arena, Mo Xiu could finally confirm that if there was someone behind Xue Jin, then there was a high chance that he would personally come to the arena to watch the matches and bets. Even if that person did not come himself, he would send someone he absolutely trusted.

Thus, today, Mo Xiu had intentionally not followed the script during the battle, just to see how Xue Jin and the mysterious boss behind him would react.

Xue Jin had planned this battle for a very long time and attached great importance to it. Thus, he would definitely invest a large amount of money.

If there was a change in the outcome of the competition, then regardless of whether it was Xue Jin or the boss behind him who had placed the bets, they would definitely suffer a huge loss. At that time, they would definitely be furious.

When the competition ended, Xue Jin immediately received a call. Mo Xiu could already confirm that this boss behind the scenes definitely existed. Furthermore, judging from the speed of the call, this person should be present.

Mo Xiu continued, “I’ve got your phone now and reported the phone number to the law enforcement team. The law enforcement team has already found out that the owner of this phone number is here. Would you like to identify that person yourself, or would you like to trouble Captain Ye Qingfeng to find them?”

Xue Jin’s face was ashen as he said, “So what if you found who the person on the phone was? How can you be sure that the person who came is the mastermind?”

Mo Xiu pulled Mu Qingyi aside to make way.

Then, Liu Ziyang and Yue Yuan brought someone over.

That person was Xue Jin’s accountant, Zhang Siyuan!
