Su Zui's Doubts, Wang Teng of the Wang Family

Both the specially designed night-clothes and the extreme speed gave Su Zui excellent concealment.

Along the way, Su Zui inevitably encountered several staff members, but he was able to detect their footsteps in advance and quickly hide around corners.

The journey was thrilling but ultimately safe; Su Zui successfully made her way through the long waiting corridor for the contestants.

Along both sides of the corridor, there were rows of players' lounges, most of the doors of which were wide open, but the rooms were already empty.

This made Su Zui's journey much easier, and after turning the last corner, the back office finally came into view.

Su Zui looked around and finally hid behind a huge stone pillar in the distance.

In the shadow of the stone pillar, Su Zui looked up in that direction, his brows involuntarily furrowing.

The backstage area was still brightly lit, and the office was bustling with people, not at all like the usual late-night crowds.

Isn't this a bit too much?

Looking further inside, the offices were lined up one after another.

A rough count revealed at least dozens of event scheduling and paperwork specialists working diligently at their desks.

Among these people, some were busy organizing the list of contestants for tomorrow's competition, some were talking and checking today's prize money, and several Soul Masters were constantly patrolling.

Given the current level of activity, it would be quite difficult for Su Zui to sneak in.

With so many people gathered in the backstage area, each of them seemed to have a chance to see the match list.

Su Zui had also considered using his extreme speed to take direct control of everyone.

But the thought only flashed through Su Zui's mind for a moment.

After all, doing so is too risky and could easily lead to injury or death.

Although Su Zui was decisive in killing, he was not one to indiscriminately kill innocent people.

These are just innocent staff members. They also have children and families. If they accidentally injure or even kill one of them, it's not just one person who is destroyed, but an entire family.

Moreover, if a large-scale conflict breaks out, the real mastermind will definitely be alerted, immediately erase all evidence, and hide even deeper.

The difficulty of catching them again will increase exponentially.

Su Zui slowly withdrew his gaze and retreated back behind the stone pillar.

His gaze inadvertently fell on a storage room next to the office area.

At this moment, most office workers were focused on their documents and no one noticed this area.

Su Zui quietly sneaked into the storage room, casually knocked out the cleaning staff member, and draped the staff member's uniform jacket over himself.

Now, Su Zui's identity has changed to that of a logistics staff member.

"Phew... I'm such a genius!"

Su Zui casually picked up a broom from the side, walked to the office area, and pretended to clean, but in reality, he kept an eye on the surrounding movements.

Just as Su Zui arrived at the door of an office near the window, he heard a hushed conversation.

"Manager Wang is a bit dissatisfied with today's events. He arranged for Mad Demon to compete in the first match, but it seems he still couldn't get a true feel for the kid's abilities..."

"You bet that's right. What did that kid eat to grow up like that? He's so young, yet he has such strength."

The two sentences were spoken in very low voices, almost drowned out by the sound of papers being turned backstage.

An ordinary person would never have noticed such a faint sound.

However, Su Zui's five senses far surpassed those of other Soul Masters of the same level, and those few words of casual conversation, which were deliberately spoken in hushed tones, instantly made Su Zui's brows furrow.

I didn't expect to find the right person so quickly.

Su Zui calmly pushed open the office door and walked straight in.

Upon seeing Su Zui walk in, the two who had been discussing immediately fell silent.

One of the tall, thin men frowned and glared at Su Zui.

"Hey, you sweeper. What's wrong with you? You didn't even knock before coming in. Who the hell gave you this habit?"

As he spoke, the tall, thin man raised his hand and walked over, about to strike Su Zui.

However, before he could even lose weight, the hand that had been raised high came down, and Su Zui grabbed his wrist and twisted it gently.

"Ah... um!"

Before he could even scream, Su Zui knocked him unconscious.

Another bespectacled man was about to shout, but just as he opened his mouth, the Great Luo Sword Embryo in Su Zui's hand was already hovering in front of him.

The bespectacled man had no doubt that if he dared to scream, the sword would pierce through his body without any resistance, freezing him to death in this office.

The sharp blade was less than a centimeter from his eye; if he took even the slightest step forward, the sword would pierce his eyeball.

The extreme fear of death instantly overwhelmed the bespectacled man, and his legs involuntarily bent slightly.

The next second, with a "thump," the bespectacled man knelt down directly in front of Su Zui.

"You... you are the Wine Sword?"

Su Zui no longer needed to hide anything. He looked at the bespectacled man in front of him with icy eyes, his voice carrying a chilling meaning.

Now that you know who I am, things are much easier.

Su Zui gently patted the bespectacled man's cheek with the blade of his sword.

Why are you deliberately targeting me? Why did you intentionally assign me such a dangerous opponent? I don't think I even know you.

Feeling the cold spine of the sword slapping against his face, the bespectacled man's mental defenses completely collapsed.

Especially when he thought of Wine Sword's cruel methods, how could he dare to hide anything? He hurriedly and hastily spoke, pouring out everything at once.

"My lord, spare us! My lord, spare us! We were only following orders; we absolutely had no intention of harming you."

"This was all under Director Wang's orders! It was Wang Teng, the tournament director of the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena! Everything we did was at his behest; we were just tools in his hands!"

In order to survive, the bespectacled man did not hesitate at all and immediately sold Wang Teng's underwear.

Upon hearing the bespectacled man's words, the cold glint in Su Zui's eyes intensified.

"Who is Wang Teng? Why is he targeting me? I don't even know him."

Under immense pressure, the bespectacled man dared not pause for a moment and recounted the entire story of Wang Teng's background.

"This Wang Teng is no ordinary person; he's from one of the Eight Great Families and is the Wang Family's representative at the Suotuo City Soul Fighting Arena."

"All the match arrangements and personnel scheduling in the Soul Fighting Arena are decided by Wang Teng."

At this point, the bespectacled man almost burst into tears.

"Sir! We're just employees, we're only following his orders. Right after you entered the Soul Fighting Arena, he sent us a top-secret notice, specifically naming you and instructing us to target you."

Su Zui slightly raised her eyes, her gaze piercing the bespectacled man like a sharp sword.

"Where is Wang Teng now? Can you find him? If you can lead me to Wang Teng, I might spare your life."

Upon hearing Su Zui's words, the bespectacled man's expression immediately turned ugly.

"What? You're so loyal to Wang Teng that you'd rather die than betray him?"

Upon hearing Su Zui's words, Yan was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"My lord, please spare me! It's not that I didn't want to tell you. I really didn't know. Manager Wang never comes to the Great Soul Arena. The last time he was here was seven days ago."

Su Zui slapped the bespectacled man hard across the face.

"You're still lying to me. If he hasn't come to the Soul Fighting Arena for seven days, then who gave you these orders?"

The bespectacled man covered his swollen cheek and answered tremblingly.

"My lord! Supervisor Wang Teng did not come to the Soul Fighting Arena. All the orders he gave you today were delivered by letters written by his subordinates, and he communicated with his subordinates by carrier pigeon."

"Manager Wang is always very cautious; we have no idea where he is."

"We're really just low-level cogs in the machine, following orders. There's never been any explanation from above about why we're targeting you. We're just doing what we're told!"

"Besides, I have absolutely no reason to lie to you. My life is in your hands now, why would I use this information to save my own?"
