Biscuit Leaves

Lucky agreed.

Julia could further establish herself in the Heavenly Arena.

Naturally, it was all within his authority.

Keli City was gradually changing, and the Heavenly Arena was changing along with it.

Lucky remained much the same as before, except he had added the study of medicine and drug compounding to his routine.

He studied together with Biscuit.

"It's completely insufficient! And the effects are already getting very weak!" Biscuit stepped out of a large tub.

The entire bathroom was filled with the smell of medicine.

After washing up, Biscuit got dressed and walked out of the bathroom.

She wore a very thin bathrobe, and her skin was flushed red, clearly affected by the medicinal bath.

She lay directly on the bed and called Miss Cookie over.

Miss Cookie began restoring her. Soaking in a medicinal bath stimulated the entire body.

But that stimulation was growing weaker and weaker.

"Lucky, haven't the other ingredients been gathered yet?" Biscuit asked the other person in the room without the slightest guard.

Lucky was lying on the floor at the moment.

He had come to mooch off Biscuit's ability.

"Your money is already gone. You still owe me 370 million Jenie. If you want to keep taking medicinal baths, go earn the money yourself." Lucky stood up.

"Just lend me a little more!" Biscuit immediately rose, moved close to Lucky, and struck a coquettish pose.

But with Biscuit's build, that coquettish pose only gave Lucky the chills, and he immediately backed away several steps.

"No." Lucky was covered in sweat, his bare upper body displaying a perfect physique with eight-pack abs.

"I don't have much left myself, and the ingredients for Bone Refining Paste are expensive too." Lucky refused outright.

Two years had passed since he began cooperating with Julia.

Lucky was now a handsome fifteen-year-old boy.

Going by the Heart Source School's training methods, along with the assistance of all kinds of medicine, Lucky should have turned into a hulking muscleman.

However, perhaps due to Biscuit's influence, his Transmutation training had allowed him to maintain the form of an ordinary teenager.

The ability Biscuit had yet to master had instead allowed Lucky to develop a bit of a foundation first.

"Sigh, looks like it's time to leave this place." Biscuit sighed and lay back on the bed, enjoying Miss Cookie's "massage."

This life of training with constant medicinal support was simply too wonderful.

"Aren't you going to try to persuade me? I'm leaving, you know." Seeing that Lucky said nothing, Biscuit immediately added.

After two years together, Lucky and Biscuit had become very close.

Although Biscuit was a woman, given her appearance, Lucky interacted with her entirely as if she were one of the guys.

"What is there to persuade you about? If you want to make money, wouldn't being a referee at the Heavenly Arena be fine? With your strength, it would be easy for you to become a referee above the 200th Floor."

Lucky began getting dressed.

"No way. But it is time to leave. I've stayed here long enough."

Biscuit had also participated in the Fighting Tournament held every two years, but she still had not won the championship, though her ranking had improved quite a bit.

"I've delayed things for quite some time. I originally planned to take the Hunter Exam after the Fighting Tournament and become a Hunter."

As she said that, Biscuit suddenly sat up again. "Lucky, how about we take the Hunter Exam together?"

Lucky refused directly. "For now, I have no intention of becoming a Hunter, nor do I plan to leave the Heavenly Arena."

"Oh!" Biscuit lay back down again in disappointment.

"Once I become a Hunter, I'll make lots of money. I never imagined training could cost so much." Biscuit sighed.

In the past, her training had relied on hard work and support from her Nen Ability. As for medicinal assistance, aside from some support from Netero at the beginning—

that support had later stopped. She had never experienced this method of constantly using medicine to aid her training.

In fact, no Martial Artist could afford to train in such a "luxurious" manner.

Low-grade medicinal training easily reached its limit and ceased to be effective, while high-grade medicinal training presented both a financial problem and an ingredient problem.

After all, having money did not necessarily mean one could buy the required ingredients.

"Make lots of money? Are you going to become a Bounty Hunter?" Lucky asked.

"No way. My goal is all sorts of sparkling gemstones. I want to become a Gem Hunter and collect all kinds of rare gemstones."

Biscuit spoke of her "hunting" goal.

"Then you won't be making money. You might even have to spend it."

"Yeah!" Biscuit said gloomily.

"With your abilities, there is actually an easy way for you to make money." Lucky gave Biscuit a reminder.

"What way?" Biscuit thought Lucky was referring to her personal ability.

"I'm talking about your Nen Ability."

"Ah!" She was confused at first, then understood.

Indeed, with Miss Cookie's ability, an ability that could assist training, many Martial Artists would likely be willing to pay to experience it.

"But that would be troublesome, and I need to train too." Biscuit did not want to make money that way, as it would interfere with her own training.

"Suit yourself. Let me know when you're leaving." Lucky left Biscuit's room.

Over the past two years, Julia had relied on the Heavenly Arena's profits and the connections she had built in every area.

She had now become the leader of the Conrad Family and influenced all of Keli City as its dominant force.

She had even provided tax revenue to the official government in exchange for support at the official level.

Some of the family's businesses were also gradually being sold off.

It was a complete effort to go legitimate. At the very least, the Conrad Family was no longer synonymous with a Mafia family in Keli City.

Instead, it was known as a charitable household, or as some wealthy family.

Because of Lucky, the Conrad Family no longer involved itself in the drug trade. Though its other businesses had shrunk somewhat, the family's main source of income was now the Heavenly Arena.

Its second-largest source was real estate in Keli City.

Over the past two years, several more transportation hubs had been added to Keli City, making it even more developed.

The real estate business had also begun to pick up.

Lucky was still a referee at the Heavenly Arena. He was waiting for a chief referee to step down.

He intended to become the next chief referee.

Unless they stepped down voluntarily, were forced to step down due to injury, or reached their term limit, chief referees of the Heavenly Arena did not leave their positions.

Sixty was the retirement age.

Of course, for Martial Artists who knew how to maintain their health, that age was not considered old.

It was simply necessary to give newcomers opportunities.

The position would be contested by the referees of the 200th Floor, and Lucky was one of the strongest candidates.

Biscuit ultimately left.

Lucky did not feel much reluctance. After all, no banquet lasted forever.
