Chapter 280 Is Di Xing a lackey?
"I am Leidu Leipard, the eldest son of the head of the Leipard family. I apologize, Mr. Dixing, for the late payment of your money. Thank you for everything you have done for the Leipard family."
Ledu Lepard revealed a devilish smile, snapped his fingers, and several servants brought a heavy box to Di Xing's front.
"There are a total of 3,507 gold coins. Please count them."
The servants chuckled and opened the chest in front of everyone. The chest was overflowing with gold coins, gleaming with a sinister yet dazzling light.
The entire hall fell silent; all the audience members stared intently at the box of gold coins.
Suddenly, a furious shout erupted from the audience: "Di Xing, you brat, didn't you say you were a hero? Turns out you're just another Leppard's dog!"
This angry outburst was like a spark that ignited the audience, which was already like a powder keg, and everyone in the audience roared in fury.
"Di Xing, you bastard, you betrayed us!"
We misjudged you.
"Kill him! The fire a few days ago must be related to him!"
"Kill him, take the money, and we'll live."
Several of them spoke with exceptionally loud voices, fueling the crowd's anger to ignite like flames. Then, a burly man with the strength of an ox tore apart the stands and the railings in the center of the arena.
He roared back, "Everyone, charge! Kill him!"
The spectators roared and rushed into the arena through the gap in the railing, unaware that the burly man had already slipped aside.
Xiao Yi instinctively stepped in front of Di Xing, but Di Xing pulled him back, punched him in the face, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Xiao Yi, recite the incantation."
Xiao Yi burst into tears, yelling, "Di Xing, you bastard!" He punched Di Xing in the face, causing Di Xing to spit out blood, but he smiled and said, "That's more like it."
Then Di Xing made a ferocious expression and roared, "Xiao Yi, are you crazy? How dare you hit me? This money is mine!"
Upon hearing Di Xing's voice, the audience's anger intensified, and they rushed towards the stage, intending to tear Di Xing to pieces. Just as Di Xing was about to be overwhelmed by the enraged crowd, a giant yo-yo suddenly opened up, shoving the audience aside.
Di Xing grabbed Youyou's foot and quickly rose into the sky. As for the gold coins sent by the Leppard family, they had all been swallowed by Youyou.
The burly man who had just torn open the railing hurriedly pulled out a card, intending to attack Di Xing in mid-air, but then he heard Leidu Lepard's shout through his earpiece, "Stop! Do you want to expose yourself?"
The burly man then relented.
Amidst the angry shouts of the audience, Di Xing's solitary figure slowly shrank and flew towards Youquan Pavilion.
The news that Di Xing was a lackey of the Six-Pointed Star family spread like wildfire throughout the entire fourth level. Because several participants in this round of the Star Ascension Tournament were injured and unable to compete, resulting in direct forfeitures, only the match between Di Xing and Xiao Yi took place this round. Therefore, spectators from other areas did not watch the match, which further accelerated the spread of this "explosive truth."
The enraged residents swarmed around Youquan Pavilion like a tidal wave. If it weren't for the elven energy defenses that Di Xing had set up beforehand, they probably would have already stormed in and torn him to pieces.
Ledoux Leppard stood in the elevator ascending from the fourth floor to the third floor, looking down at the beautiful view with great pride, recalling the scene from that time.
A few days ago, his father, Reed Leppard, looked down at Xiao Guopi, the fuel district chief, who was kneeling before him.
"You mean, I should publicly give him the money that Di Xing won at the casino, so that the ignorant people on the fourth floor will think he's a lackey of the Leppard family?"
The usually composed and elegant Reed burst into laughter—a laugh that Leidu had never heard before—after hearing the other person's words.
"Hahahaha! This is really interesting. I haven't encountered anything this interesting in decades! Has this kid gone mad?"
"Hahaha, I agree with your suggestion, but that doesn't mean I can't see through your true intentions. You want to use this money to buy food, right?"
"But your suggestion is just too interesting. I'd like to see how that kid handles that situation, hahahaha!"
If Di Xing were there, she would definitely tease him, "Are you the male version of Princess Yaoyue?" However, at that time, Di Xing was busy preparing his own plan.
Back in the elevator, Ledu Lepard looked at the angry crowd and muttered to himself, "Dixing, as a transmigrator, you probably can't understand the anger of these people from the lower classes. Maybe you think you can explain this, but that's impossible. Goodbye, foolish but regrettable person."
At this moment, inside the Youquan Pavilion
"What...what should I do?!"
Zhai Luyou looked at the huge crowd outside and turned pale with fright.
"Waaaaah, I'm just a little bird who loves to travel, why did I have to go through this?"
"Heh, I told you before, if you were scared, you should have left earlier."
Di Xing sat on a stool, while Lunya was cleaning the wounds he had sustained from being hit by debris thrown by the civilians.
"Who would have thought it would be so scary? I originally wanted to watch the excitement, but now I've become the excitement myself!"
"It hurts, Lunya, be gentle!"
"You're still acting recklessly," Nami said, arms crossed, looking at the crowd outside. "They're really angry."
Dai Meng munched on a potato, saying, "Wasn't there a famine? How do these people still have the energy to gather here? And Di Xing, steamed potatoes are so delicious~"
"That's true, it's a pity these are difficult times. I'll get you some sugar later, potatoes dipped in sugar taste the best."
"Really?" Dai Meng's eyes lit up. "Then I'll go out right now and beat all these people up for you!" As she spoke, Dai Meng materialized the Father God's Staff.
"No, they've been deceived too. Hmm? It seems like I'm one of those who deceived them. Oh well, anyway, they feel betrayed, and with the famine going on, they have nowhere to vent their pain."
“You…” Li Fei Hua Yue sighed, removing the banana peel from Di Xing’s hair. “Why did you choose this time to use this move? It was too dangerous.”
"The Leppard family wouldn't have given me the money if it weren't dangerous; this is what you call putting yourself in a do-or-die situation..."
Before Di Xing could finish speaking, a bulge suddenly appeared on the floor beneath his stool, precisely knocking him to the ground.
A small head wearing a helmet peeked out from the bag—the Devil's Savior Explorer.
"Finally found it! I'm exhausted!"
"Xiao Hong, you definitely did this on purpose, didn't you?!" Di Xing said angrily, lying on the ground.
"What are you saying? I just dug it up randomly. You're just unlucky. No, you're just asking for trouble because you've done so many evil deeds!"
"You little rascal!"
"Alright, our time is precious, isn't it?" Xiao Hong interrupted Di Xing, and then, accompanied by an eagle's cry, Xiao Hong and the raptor crystal beneath her flew out of the cave.
Then she jumped off the eagle and reached out to help Di Xing up.
“Indeed,” Di Xing dusted himself off, then put on his Duel Disk. “Let’s go, everyone, let’s go buy some food!”
