Chapter 153: I Dare You To Run

Midnight.

Zhu Mengmeng felt like crying.

In her assumption, she thought that Chu Ge had brought the girl with abilities here for the underground fighting arena. She never considered that Chu Ge didn’t have a membership card or an invitation letter, and they weren’t even participants in the matches. They didn’t even know there was a underground fighting event today.

Yet, her husband, Cai Zhijian, who had been separated from her for two years, had a smile on his face and enthusiastically led Chu Ge into the underground arena. He seemed to find it quite amusing.

Chu Ge and Moon Shadow exchanged glances discreetly, silently making their judgments.

They could safely conclude that Cai Zhijian didn’t have any abilities; he was just an ordinary person. At least Chu Ge was relieved that he didn’t have to question himself anymore. Finally, there was a normal person in sight among all the individuals with abilities.

However, this ordinary person was surprisingly calm in the face of the bloody brutality of the fighting arena. Moreover, it seemed like he was intentionally looking for trouble, and he wasn’t afraid of any potential retaliation. There was even a hint of excitement in his demeanor.

Well... the spectators back then were all like that, harboring madness deep within their hearts... He was just one of them.

Zhu Mengmeng tried to remain composed and kept whispering to Chu Ge, “If you’re going to cause trouble, make sure to distance us from it.”

Then she saw Chu Ge mysteriously produce a Cabalash Brothers mask from somewhere. Moon Shadow also produced a ghost mask from her belongings.

Zhu Mengmeng: “While others go out wearing masks, you two bring masks with you?”

Chu Ge and Moon Shadow exchanged glances, finding it amusing themselves. The recently acquired portable storage space naturally had the masks as the first items to carry, just in case he needed it. And now he immediately found a use for it. As for Moon Shadow, it seemed like she always carried it with her... a girl without a sense of security.

“Ding!” The elevator reached the underground floor.

A wave of noise and commotion hit them.

Moon Shadow narrowed her eyes behind the mask.Fịndd new updates at novelhall.com

They deliberately waited to enter later, not wanting to cram into the crowded elevator. But the consequence was that as soon as they entered, they were met with this familiar scene—crowds of people, frenzied and chaotic, with ferocious expressions. A gathering of the crazy beasts under the beautiful river of Nanjiang.

Two fighters were already in the ring, serving as appetizers—ordinary boxers.

Moon Shadow stood quietly at the side of the passage, as if she saw her past self. Passing through here and entering the “competitors’ passage,” slowly stepping onto the platform.

In truth, she didn’t hate the ring itself—it used to be her source of income, even though it was dangerous. What she hated was the entire environment it brought, turning people into beasts and transforming once refined and elegant individuals into cold and heartless demons. In such a place, bloodshed and death seemed to be normal. Looking at the grimacing faces around her, she felt that these things shouldn’t exist, distorting the rules of reality.

Chu Ge was texting Lin Wuyang: “Underground fighting has started. Do you have any plans?”

Lin Wuyang was both surprised and amused: “Such a dedicated citizen. When I become a leader one day, I’ll give you a big red flower.”

“No need for all that talk...”

“I’ve already organized a team to surround the place.”

Standing beside Zhang Xiaoren was an old man who shouted fiercely and intercepted Moon Shadow.

Her shadow manipulation seemed to be disturbed, and her shadow dissipated. Zhang Xiaoren, drenched in cold sweat, retreated towards the outside. Without hesitation, Moon Shadow’s shadow blade cut towards the old man’s throat.

At the same time the security personnel surged from outside, a golden fist silhouette blasted out from the door with a loud bang, sending the first security guard flying and causing the rest to stumble.

A smiling Cabalash Brother stood at the door, blocking Zhang Xiaoren. “This path is closed.”

An alarm sounded from outside, and someone exclaimed in panic, “Mr. Zhang! The police are outside!”

Things were not going well! Why were the police here too? Zhang Xiaoren felt panicked and desperate. He pulled out a dagger and lunged at Chu Ge, shouting, “Get out of the way!”

He wanted to escape immediately through another passage. There was still a chance!

Third Brother agilely dodged the dagger, and although its iron fist seemed imposing, it moved like plucking flowers and breaking branches. Its five fingers lightly danced, effortlessly twisting Zhang Xiaoren against the wall.

Another dagger came stabbing from behind, but Chu Ge evaded it.

Zhang Xiaoren’s dagger retaliated, and his henchmen on both sides also launched their daggers chaotically. Chu Ge found himself in a chaotic battle, but he moved through it as if taking a leisurely stroll. He dodged left and right, and no one could lay a finger on him.

“This guy must be a dodging-type esper!” Zhang Xiaoren backed away, yelling furiously, “Surround him with multiple attackers! Beat him from all directions with several wooden sticks! Unless he turns into a fly, I don’t believe he can still dodge!”

Wooden sticks came from all directions, blocking every route. In what seemed like an impossible situation, Chu Ge dodged and twisted, miraculously slipping through the tight gaps.

A dagger came straight at his waist, and Zhang Xiaoren grinned savagely, “Dodge this! I dare you to dodge!”

With a crisp sound, the dagger stabbed into Chu Ge’s waist, but it was like striking iron. There was no damage at all.

Zhang Xiaoren: “???”

Chu Ge grinned, revealing a set of neat white teeth. “Hopeless or not?”

With a loud thud, his fist slammed into Zhang Xiaoren’s face. “Run! I dare you to run!”

The punch landed solidly, and Zhang Xiaoren felt like he had entered a dye shop. Red and white colors mixed together as they burst out, his ears ringing and his vision blurry. Even his mind was buzzing.

Finally, Moon Shadow’s Shadow Blade passed through the old man who had been blocking her, causing a shower of blood.

The Shadow Blade rested against Zhang Xiaoren’s neck. “Stop right there!”

The security guards looked at each other in retreat.

These two are like monsters... surrounded by dozens of people, including strong ability users, yet they managed to capture someone in the midst of everyone.

Footsteps grew louder outside as the police completely surrounded the entire underground fighting arena. The outcome was decided.

Looking at Zhang Xiaoren, who still had a bewildered and bloodied face, Chu Ge suddenly recalled a joke. In a certain year, in a certain month, a certain someone claimed to be an emperor, but was defeated by a group of police officers from a local police station.
