Today’s ‘Genting’ is very different from when he got there at the age of fourteen. The bloody games of the rich have led to various supporting facilities in the surrounding area. In a place like the border of Western Sahara where armed conflicts continue and people’s lives are difficult, there are two luxury hotels. The things you can enjoy here are not as good as those in Europe.
The operator of ‘Genting’ also sent tributes to the Moroccan government and the independence of Western Sahara. They helped them connect internationally renowned arms companies in exchange for its permanent neutrality in this place without being disturbed by any party.
The helipad on the top floor of the hotel is not idle 24 hours a day. Helicopters come and go, bringing in batches of rich people with perverted hobbies. The real backgrounds of these people are often very shocking. Some of them who are unwilling to reveal their identities show up wearing masks. The operator will provide VIP rooms for them. In this turbulent and chaotic area, the lack of supervision has allowed many things that cannot exist in a normal society to grow wildly. It seems that this place has developed into a thriving industry and the number of tourists is increasing.
Between two tall hotels, there is a tavern that looks a little ridiculous. This tavern is very impressive and it is the main residence of ‘Genting’.
Shan Ming really didn’t know who gave this dark, bloody, and shady fighting ground buried deep in the ground such an unsuitable name.
In order to maintain the original features of ‘Genting’, the operator has completely preserved this small tavern after several repairs.
Shan Ming was first tied up and placed in a hotel. It seems that this hotel is also the property of Nesis.
Although he didn’t know much about this person, through the conversation, Shan Ming can probably guess that he is the ‘owner’ of ‘Genting’. He uses various channels to recruit powerful fighters, let them fight, and seek profit from it. To put it bluntly, it is similar to those who bet on chickens and dogs fighting. It’s just that they call this kind of activity organised as a ‘club’ on the surface.
Shan Ming didn’t know how many such ‘owners’ there were in ‘Genting’ but Nesis was able to build a hotel here. So he was obviously a valuable ‘owner’ and Shan Ming was the dog he was looking for.
Shan Ming felt that his vision was good. He decided to shoot a bullet into Nesis’s eye once he left this place.
Shan Ming was tied to the bed and there were two bodyguards standing beside the bed. Their eyes were basically staring at him and they had to be replaced every few hours. It was as if they were very guarded against him and the room was equipped with a camera. Seeing this, Shan Ming thought that it was useless to try to escape now. So he simply go to sleep.
At noon the next day, Nesis appeared.
Nesis smiled and said, “Did you sleep well last night?”
Shan Ming looked at him lazily, “Will you sleep well if you are tied up?”
Nesis pulled a chair and sat on the edge of the bed. “I found an interesting record of yours. It turns out that you came here fourteen years ago and won some money.”
“Yes. I have been here.”
“Then that would spare me the trouble of explaining this place to you. You should also know how I want you to cooperate with me.”
Shan Ming curled his lips, “If I refuse to fight, will you force me to do it with a gun?”
Nesis smiled and said nothing.
“I can fight. No problem. But I won’t use your drugs.”
Nesis raised his eyebrows, “You even know about the drugs?”
Shan Ming looked at him coldly, “Why not? Are you afraid of people finding out?”
Nesis displayed a gentlemanly smile, “Of course not. In fact, we have upgraded the drugs. The effect is much stronger than before. Maybe you could walk out of here alive fourteen years ago. But now, it is not necessarily so. So have you really thought it through?”
Shan Ming said in a cold voice, “I won’t use drugs.”
Nesis shrugged his shoulders, “No problem. I just don’t want you to die. You are a rare and excellent fighter. I believe that your persistence will not last long though. Sooner or later, you will take the initiative to use the drugs and that is a good thing. It makes you feel extremely happy when you are fighting.”
Shan Ming stared at him fiercely, “Stop bullshitting. If you want to arrange for me to fight, you can do it at any time.”
Nesis said happily, “I admire your courage. In fact, recently my fighters have been losing to my competitors. It made me feel very distressed. I hope you can turn my luck around.” Nesis thought about something for a while before he added: “Mr. Shan, you are a smart man. Please don’t try to do something out of line after your hands and feet are free. When you are in the ring, there will be a sniper and three machine guns watching you. You can’t get out of here unless you’re invincible.”
Shan Ming’s falcon-like eyes fixed on Nesis, “Take me there.”
Under the escort of bodyguards, Shan Ming took the elevator from the hotel to the ground and then entered the tavern.
As soon as he entered the door, he could smell the smell of alcohol, the old decoration, and the paint of the log. There were photos of American porn stars in the 1970s and 1980s hanging on the wall. Everything felt so familiar. It caused Shan Ming to suddenly recall the time when he was fourteen years old.
That year, in order to raise money and recruit people, he, Ayer, and Tiger Shark stepped into this dark fighting arena ignorantly and fearlessly.
They were all still bearing the pain of losing Lin Qiang and so many brothers who fought side by side at the time and tried to use violent force to vent their grief and anger. So they all signed up without hesitation and entered the field recklessly.
At the beginning, they met two to three fighters that were easy to deal with and then the person who was in charge of the dealer that day fell in love with their abilities and arranged for them to be injected with drugs.
At that time, Tiger Shark was at the peak of his physique and his combat power was amazing. He got off the ring without too many injuries, but Shan Ming’s and Ayer’s conditions were quite bad.
Because his opponent underestimated his age, when his face was covered with blood, he simply lay down on the ground and pretended to be dead. Finally, he found an opportunity and broke the opponent’s spine. But Ayer was not so lucky. He met a real fucker. That person seemed to have no human emotions and consciousness at all. It was just a fighting machine. It was like a tank in the ring, rampaging and hitting with infinite strength. He was bloodthirsty. Everyone could tell that that beast wanted to kill Ayer and surrender was useless.
Shan Ming had just lost his foster father so he couldn’t accept losing Ayer. He looked at Ayer who was beaten so badly and it made him want to jump into the ring impulsively. But Tiger Shark stopped him. In fact, they all knew that if the rules here were broken, the three of them would not be able to leave.
It was the first time in his life he had seen Ayer like that. Ayer has a bright smile and bright blue eyes. People who were not familiar with him would all think that he was an elegant nobleman. But Shan Ming knew that he was a miser and he always teased him, his only younger foster brother for fun. This kind of Ayer, in the end, was like a little animal that had been driven into a desperate situation, with scars and blood, and a hideous face like a ghost. He desperately wanted to die with the other party and he finally bit the man madly to death.
Shan Ming still has lingering fears in his heart when he recalls such a tragic battle. When he stepped into this familiar tavern, the fear and helplessness he felt back then when he stood two metres away under the ring and watched Ayer covered in blood all rushed to his heart. At that time, the audience behind him was filled with high emotions. No one sympathised with an eighteen-year-old who was experiencing challenges in an unusually cruel way. On the contrary, they cheered. They were excited and they wanted to see Ayer being killed by that motherfucker and being torn into shreds!
So Shan Ming was disgusted by this place. He hated this place and he never dreamed that one day he would be forced to set foot here again!
When the door of the basement was opened, the sky-shattering shouts mixed with bloody heat waves rushed towards him. He swore in his heart that he would make Nesis and Rody pay the price for bringing him here.

*Translator’s Note: Honest to God, I would also be disgusted with that kind of place. Hmph! -K
