Chapter 835 Growth and Test

late at night.

Two days and one night have passed since Zhang Heng led the patrol to collect security fees from the iron torturers.

The Iron Man also figured out Zhang Heng's identity and origins. In fact, it didn't take that long at all. The gladiatorial champion at the Flavius ​​Amphitheater was the hottest topic in the entire city of Rome recently.

This oriental man has captured the hearts of countless young girls and ladies.

Everyone now regrets returning freedom to Zhang Heng so early. This is equivalent to saying that the latter's heroic figure will no longer be seen. Fortunately, the Gladiator School of Makruth put out an advertisement at the right time, saying that Zhang Heng would have a performance every month at the Victor Arena and that he would start accepting bookings now.

The ticket sales of Victor Arena suddenly became very hot, which made Mark Rus feel angry when he walked recently. Zhang Heng's return not only greatly increased the exposure of Victor Arena, but also made him famous in the Giant Integrity. Lyphilos gradually took the initiative in the sales negotiations.

Yes, Telephilos has not been sold yet. His owner has received dozens of offers. Basically, all the gladiator schools that have the ability to develop Telephilos' value have bid, and each person has made a bid. There were more than one quotation, one higher than the other, and the more this happened, the more hesitant the owner of Telephilus was, because there might be a higher price if he waited.

After all, it's a seller's market now. After Zhang Heng was freed, Telephilos, who performed brilliantly in the final battle, became the most ticket-selling gladiator in Rome, a rare commodity.

However, after the Victor Arena released the news that Zhang Heng was about to return, the sale of Telephilus finally began to cool down. None of the gladiator schools made any new offers. Obviously, it was their turn to hesitate now. After all, under the guidance of a Betting too much on a gladiator is risky, not to mention that once Zhang Heng comes back, Telephilos will lose his title as the strongest gladiator.

Don't underestimate the difference between the first and second place. Just look at Cisnates and Sartonilos back then and you will know that although Sartonilos also has many followers, there is an essential gap in their ticket-selling abilities. There seems to be no suspense about winning the Victor Arena. How much are the gladiator schools willing to pay in order to get second place?

At this time, the only one left to raise the price again was Markrus, but Markrus also said that he would only give the owner of Telephilus one night to think about it. Once the time passed, he would withdraw the offer and no longer participate in the competition. .

Finally, after a night of deliberation and the persuasion of Telephilus himself, his master finally accepted Macrus's offer and left the city of Rome with the money before dawn.

The other schools didn't know until the afternoon that Telephilus had been captured by Victor Arena. Marcus had taken the top three places in this gladiatorial performance by himself, and his appetite was so huge that all his colleagues gasped. He breathed a sigh of relief.

…………

On the other hand, Tieshou was also shocked after learning Zhang Heng's identity, especially when Black Tail Snake later confessed that a group of them bumped into Zhang Heng and was repaired, confirming that Zhang Heng's combat effectiveness was basically in line with the legend. They are just as strong as the ones in the middle, but this does not give up the idea of ​​​​retaliation. There is no way. Losing 30% of their income is really painful for them. After all, they are only a small force. They have to take care of all aspects and keep it in their hands. There isn't much money in it.

The sudden loss of 30% of his income can be sustained in the short term, but over time he will definitely have to reduce the number of his subordinates. In this way, the situation will further deteriorate, and they will either be replaced or annexed by other forces.

Therefore, Iron Cuffs must drive Zhang Heng out of here. Now that he has found the reason why the patrol team became abnormal, as long as Zhang Heng is driven away, the patrol team can return to its previous mascot state. They had been preparing for this in the past two days. Considering Zhang Heng's terrifying combat power, despite their considerable numerical advantage, Tieshao decided to avoid a head-on conflict as much as possible.

He found Zhang Heng's residence. For some reason, Zhang Heng did not live in the patrol station. Instead, he rented a room by himself in the next street. He spent the night there alone for the past two days, which also gave Iron Cuffs a chance. An opportunity for gangsters to strike.

Of course, not everyone had doubts about this. For example, Black-tailed Snake, who had been frightened by Zhang Heng, always felt that this was a bit too coincidental. Why did they act like this immediately when they decided to retaliate against Zhang Heng? Would it be too much of a coincidence to put a good opportunity here?

But at this time, the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired. Iron Cuffs arranged for two people to keep an eye on the movement of the patrol. Aris and his men were the only ones who could come to protect Zhang Heng. As long as there was no movement there, You don't have to worry about any accidents with the iron cuffs.

Moreover, they deliberately chose to attack late at night. At this time, most people were fast asleep. No matter how powerful the Oriental was, he couldn't know their movements in his sleep. At the same time, the iron cuffs also found a guy who was very good at picking locks. As long as they can sneak into Zhang Heng's room quietly and several people pounce on him together, it's basically a done deal.

Iron Cuffs' plan was well made, and the group of people also found the downstairs where Zhang Heng was. Iron Cuffs asked most of the people to stay downstairs, surrounded all the entrances and exits, and gave them to the dwarf to command. After that, he went into battle himself and took them with him. Eight people, including Black-tailed Snake, went upstairs, and a guy who was proficient in lock picking quietly opened Zhang Heng's door.

The eight people held their breath together and looked at the figure lying sideways on the bed. They saw that the other figure did not react at all and was still sleeping soundly. There was a hint of joy in the eyes of the iron shackles. They took the lead and led the seven people. Touched towards the bed.

On the roof of the apartment building, Zhang Hengzheng looked down at the iron-cuffed men below who were on guard and looked wary. A ghostly figure quietly passed through their seemingly impenetrable defense line.

The men who were left with iron shackles downstairs were like blind men, completely unaware of the masked ghost figure that completely blended into the night, and allowed the ghost figure to climb upstairs.

Zhang Heng made a silent applause gesture and praised, "Not bad, the sword is still young."

"Stop talking nonsense, I have already killed the people on the patrol team as you requested," the ghost said, the voice of the old Persian trainer was clear, "But these are just small fish and shrimps, and they are so scattered. Come on, the two of us can do it in a few minutes, do we need help from outsiders? Besides, it seems like the people on the patrol team are of little use."

"People all need to grow. How can they grow if they are not given a chance? If they are not useful now, it does not mean that they will not be useful in the future. After all, I will not stay here for too long." Zhang Heng said, "I used to I ignored the patrol team, but I didn’t expect that there are still some useful people in it. It just so happens that I also want to see which of them are more worthy of training.”
