Dan Heng narrowed his eyes and fell into thought as he listened to Dr. Curious's highly enticing words.
"So if we lose even once, that means all the accumulated prize money is gone, right?"
Dan Heng asked, looking at the somewhat uneasy Dr. Curious.
"Uh, that's true, but this is a chance to earn a whole lot of Belobog Shields. Can you really bear to give it up?"
Dr. Curious tried to persuade them.
"Then how many Belobog Shields does it cost to enter?"
March 7th asked curiously.
"Hehe, entering doesn't cost any Belobog Shields. But let me make this clear first: any injuries sustained during the challenge have nothing to do with this club. They are entirely the contestant's own responsibility."
Dr. Curious hurriedly said, clearly trying to absolve himself of responsibility.
"Oh? Isn't that a little too cruel?"
Theresa glared at Dr. Curious and shouted.
"What's cruel about it? The club puts up the money, the contestants put in the work, and the audience has a good time watching. Isn't that enough?"
An elderly man's voice came over dismissively.
"Boss, you're here!"
Dr. Curious fawned over a short, skinny old man with a flattering smile.
"Now that we've come this far, and considering that you're all girls, we can arrange opponents of the same gender for you at first. But after that, the enemies will be selected at random. And any injuries sustained will have nothing to do with the club. If you clear ten rounds, you'll receive an additional reward of ten thousand Belobog Shields."
Scott looked at the four beautiful girls with a grin. He thought this was an unprecedented jackpot. After all, watching girls fight each other was far more exciting than watching men brawl, wasn't it?
{The author is putting on some armor first: this is not aimed at the beautiful and adorable female readers. It is simply required by the plot. Besides, the main cast will teach this Old Man a lesson. After all, this guy's conduct in the game was absolutely disgusting.}
And Scott darkly imagined beautiful girls fighting and grappling with each other. Wouldn't those accidentally revealed little benefits make the audience even more excited?
"How can you be so disgusting?"
Bronya stared at Old Man Scott in disgust.
"Hehehe, it's all voluntary. Win, and you take everything. Lose, and you end up in a hospital bed."
"So, are you in or not? If not, get the hell out."
Scott said indifferently.
"We accept. If we win ten challenges, that counts as our victory, right?"
Theresa stared at Scott and spoke calmly. Seeing the calm expression on the petite Theresa's face, Scott suddenly felt a little flustered. But he inwardly scorned himself for being afraid of such a little runt, complaining that he really had gotten old.
"That's right. If you win ten challenges, the club will honor your wager and the grand prize of ten thousand Belobog Shields. But let me remind you one last time: the later challenges will only get harder. And if you slip up, lose an arm or a leg, that won't be the club's problem either~"
Scott grinned maliciously. Dan Heng already wanted to give him a taste of his spear.
"Fine, let's do it. But let's make one thing clear too: the club cannot interrupt our challenge once it begins. If any facilities are damaged during it, that's the club's problem as well. So what do you say, Old Man? Do you dare?"
Theresa crossed her arms and smiled excitedly. Scott looked at the four girls in surprise. When Dan Heng said he wanted to join, Scott had refused him.
The audience had long grown tired of watching men fight. Scott agreed to Theresa's demand, stating that whether someone was injured or equipment was damaged during the challenge, each side would bear its own responsibility.
At last, March 7th, Stelle, Bronya, and Theresa officially began the challenge.
They exchanged smiles. It was time to teach the Old Man a lesson. They all decided to tear down this Fighting Club that had ruined so many families!
"Ahem, then what team name do you four beauties intend to choose?"
After seeing Scott slowly make his way to the audience seats, Dr. Curious stepped forward and asked.
"Mm, you guys pick one."
Theresa could not be bothered to think. Right now, she just wanted to tear down the club and show that Old Man what the Stellaron Hunters Demolition Office was all about!
After warning everyone to be careful, Dan Heng followed Theresa's words and bet all of their Belobog Shields—over a thousand in total—on Theresa's team winning. The other spectators also excitedly placed bets, some on Theresa's team and some on the other teams.
"Let's go with this one, hehe~"
March 7th, Stelle, and Bronya laughed as they decided on the squad's name.
"The team name we've chosen is~"
"Teruriri Magical Team!"
March 7th shouted excitedly. Upon hearing it, Theresa blushed and glared at them.
"No, that's so embarrassing! Change it!"
Theresa shouted with a red face, but Dr. Curious said the minority had to obey the majority. In the end, the team's name was set as Teruriri Magical Team.
"Next up, Teruriri Magical Team versus Don't Want to Mine Squad! The challenge begins!"
Dr. Curious shouted as he looked at the contestants from both sides on the arena.
The women on the other team could not bear to attack right away. Their bodies were covered in muscles, built through laboring and digging pits, while March 7th, Stelle, Bronya, and Theresa were all fair-skinned, soft, beautiful, and pleasing to the eye. At a glance, anyone would think they were bound to lose.
"How about you just admit defeat? If we get serious, we won't be responsible for what happens."
One of the dark-skinned, sturdy, heavily muscled women said sympathetically. She was kind-hearted, but several of her companions were eager to fight. After all, they were also jealous of how beautiful the four girls were.
"It's fine. Come at us."
Theresa did not even take out Judas. After all, she had smashed the Doomsday Beast of the Star-Level Antimatter Legion to pieces. Pulling out a Divine Key against ordinary people would be far too bullying. Besides, the Kaslana family's inherited monstrous strength was no joke. And although Theresa was tiny, adorable, and cute, a full-force punch of hers could reach dozens of tons. After all, she was a genuine S-rank Valkyrie.
Though the captain often teased her by calling her the Judas Launcher, that was only because Judas was convenient to use. Her hand-to-hand combat ability was not weak at all.
"I fight Abyss Monsters all the time."
Bronya also smiled and said that she was not weak either.
As for Stelle and March 7th, they merely smiled. They were not afraid of the Antimatter Legion or Abyss Monsters, so why would they fear ordinary people?
Then, as the bell rang, the battle officially began.
One second later, the women of Don't Want to Mine Squad were sprawled all over the ground. Dr. Curious and the audience stared in astonishment as Theresa flashed forward with a knowing smile, and then all four women were lying unconscious on the ground.
"Come on, come on~ No strength at all. Is that it?"
Theresa said with a knowing smile. At Scott's signal, Dr. Curious had no choice but to send out four tall, muscular men.
"We are the Lower City F4!"
The tall, burly men roared excitedly at the cute girls. They could not wait to hug those soft, fragrant beauties, and then Stelle said she would go first.
"Rules are meant to be broken~"
Stelle calmly pulled out a baseball bat, while the tall, muscular men grabbed chairs and swung them at her.
Then there was no then. They were left lying all over the ground, bruised, swollen, and covered in bumps, while Stelle giggled calmly and leisurely.
Dan Heng smiled as he watched the scene. Ordinary people challenging them really were thinking too highly of themselves.
