Chapter 837: All Is Fair In The Game
Dai Weian responded with a nod. “This place is located in the Pacific Ocean, near Africa. It doesn’t belong to any country and is considered a red zone. Several international underground gambling dens have occupied this place and started a game. Each season, the ‘players’ who participate in this game have to fight with their lives. The final winner will then be rewarded with ten million US dollars. The players come from places all over the world and are all vicious people. Most of them are guilty of monstrous crimes and have decided to risk their lives for money. As the chances of survival are very low, some participants choose to form groups. Each group can have at most four individuals. When a group wins, prize money is split equally among them.”
When Bai Qinghao heard this, he frowned. “How many players are there in each team? How can we leave this place?”
“The number of participants varies every time.” Dai Weian replied. “Only the organizers know the exact numbers. ‘Obtaining Victory’ is the only way to leave this place.” She glanced towards Fang Xinxin, who was behind Bai Qinghao, in confusion. “I’ve seen her on television. She is your wife, Fang Xinxin. Why are the both of you here?”
Bai Qinghao was not only the Sheng Shi Group’s CEO. He was also the Bai family’s only successor and was one of the richest men on earth.
Fang Xinxin was the Long Group’s director’s granddaughter. She was also the CEO of the Jiao Yang Organization. Her status was just as valuable as Bai Qinghao.
These two individuals did not lack money and had no reason to be here.
“We were unlucky and passed by.” Bai Qinghao’s expression was cold to the point where it seemed like frost would form around him any moment.
Dai Weian believed in him. However, she could not help but worry. “CEO Bai, this place is especially big. There is an abandoned town, a mountain, several rivers and lakes… I heard that the outskirts are surrounded by electric fences. There are even snipers hidden around. Regardless of your identity, the only way you can leave this place is by winning this game. Even if you successfully reach near the outskirts of the island, there’s still no way you can overcome the ten-meter-tall electric fence. There are snipers waiting for you. ‘Players’, who give up midway and attempt to run, will simply be killed. As for the gamblers, they always bet a sum of money on the players they favor. They have too much money to burn. After agreeing to organize this game, they won’t let any news of it slip to the outside world.”
“In other words, are all our actions being watched?” Fang Xinxin was the one who spoke up.
“That’s right.” Dai Weian nodded. “Everyone who comes in is considered a player. Perhaps, someone has already betted a sum on the both of you.”
“How did you manage to come in?” Fang Xinxin asked her coldly. “Were you also found guilty of heinous crimes and left without other options?”
“No.” Dai Weian hurriedly explained. “Like I said, I’m a reporter. I’ve been secretly investigating this matter for a long time. It wasn’t easy before I finally made progress. I did not expect them to capture me and bring me here.”
She put on a pitiful expression. “I’ve answered all your questions. Earlier, CEO Bai also saved my life. How about we team up?”
Bai Qinghao kept his gun away and answered coldly. “There’s no need. You can consider the favor repaid. You can leave now.”
“CEO Bai, I’m a helpless woman. If you make me leave, I’m doomed to die.” Her eyes reddened and she appeared on the verge of tears. “My parents only have me. I haven’t repaid them for raising me up.. I don’t wish to die…”
