Chapter 22: Left the Concentration Camp

Poor Philip was blinded by the gushing blood, and his brain was also stunned. He shook his arm in the air, but another blow to his chest finally knocked him down. Although this fierce battle had come to an end, it was Su Chen’s turn next. Lotte helped Yousi down.

There were still traces of blood on the stage that had not been cleaned up. However, Su Chen and the person in front of him were already standing there, looking at each other in dismay. The one holding a sword was Su Chen, while the older man in front of him who held a walking stick was called Fu Suzi.

Fu Suzi suddenly exerted force and pointed the walking stick at Su Chen’s forehead. Su Chen did not make any movements. He just raised his sword and blocked the ferocious walking stick.

The two of them took three steps back. At this moment, neither of them dared to be careless. Fu Suzi then launched another attack and the two of them were locked in a stalemate. After countless rounds of fighting, beads of sweat appeared on their heads. At this moment, Su Chen waved his Broken Steel Sword as if sweeping through thousands of soldiers. The person with the walking stick jumped up and pointed it at Su Chen’s chest. Su Chen leaned back and dodged it. Who knew that Fu Suzi still had a backup move? He used his divine Dragon Tail Swing and kicked Su Chen to the ground. At this moment, Su Chen suddenly exerted force with his sword., stunning Fu Suzi. Then, Su Chen’s sword was aimed at Fu Suzi’s heart, and Fu Suzi fell straight to the ground.

Su Chen did not expect his battle to end so quickly. It seemed that he was becoming more and more familiar with the Broken Steel Sword.

The three of them successfully obtained the opportunity to leave the concentration camp and head to the arena. After returning to their room, they rested until midnight. Yousi was still resting because of his serious injuries. Because Su Chen did not expend much of his battle strength during the day, and he was also feeling uneasy because he was leaving tomorrow and heading to a more dangerous place, he decided to go out for a stroll.

After walking out of the room, he saw Lotte in the corridor. He was standing alone, looking out of the window in a daze. When Su Chen thought of how troubled he was during the day, he walked to Lotte’s side and gently patted his shoulder. Lotte was shocked and looked at Su Chen in surprise.

“You scared me to death!”

Su Chen saw his ghostly expression and smiled. Then, he said, “Besides the three of us, there won’t be anyone else here.”

When Lotte heard this, he was stunned for a while. When Su Chen noticed this, he could only pat Lotte again to pull him back to reality.

“What’s wrong with you? You’ve been preoccupied since yesterday.”

Lotte looked surprised, as if he did not expect Su Chen to notice his strange behavior. However, he remained silent and did not say anything.

They remained silent for a while. No one said anything. They just stood side by side and looked out of the window. When Su Chen was starting to feel a little sleepy and thought that Lotte would not say anything more, he finally opened his mouth.

“Su Chen, I don’t think I should’ve survived this place.”

Su Chen was surprised that Lotte would say that, so he immediately comforted him, “If you survived, you survived. You were lucky, and Minida’s right. Luck is indeed a very important part of winning and losing.”

However, Lotte did not feel reassured by Su Chen’s words. Instead, he immediately retorted, “This isn’t just luck… Su Chen, this isn’t luck. It’s… Minida’s interference. That girl who withdrew from the competition, that life-and-death draw, all of it was prepared by her…”

This time, it was Su Chen’s turn to be surprised.

“You’re saying… Minida arranged all of this so that you could survive?”

Lotte nodded. For a moment, he could not find any words to answer him. He could only remain silent for a while until Su Chen finally said, “Lotte, I don’t know what’s going on between you and Minida, but if she wants you to live and you survived because of that, you should be happy instead of feeling guilty.”

“Happy?”

“Yes, happy. Because you’ve gained more luck and life than others. You should enjoy it, not question it.”

After listening to this, Lotte fell into deep thought, then smiled and said, “Thank you, Su Chen. I may have thought too much. It’s really late now. You should get some rest.”

After a simple farewell, they went back to their rooms to sleep..
