48 Hours a Day

Zhang Heng packed up his things and came to Varo's place with his little slave.

In his bargaining deals with Markus, in addition to one fifth of the profits from each performance, plus the freedom of Little Slave and Valo, now that the Little Slave is settled, there is only Valo left.

But Valo wasn't where he lived. Zhang Heng and his roommate in the same room said that Valo should be at the training ground. So he grabbed the little slave who had probed her in the back and said to her, "Valo and I have something to talk about. Go outside and wait for us. ”

“Oh." The little slave promised, knowing that Zhang Heng just didn't want her to hear it, but instead of complaining about herself now, she remembered what someone had said to him before. Something prevented her from listening to it for her safety's sake, so AIDS disappeared.

Then Zhang Heng came to the training ground alone.

Unlike what he promised his little girl when she was free, Makrus seemed hesitant to let Varo go, but given the tremendous gain Zhang Heng's monthly performance eventually agreed to bite his teeth.

And this was no surprise to Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng, the mastermind who turned Varo into a slave from the antique dealer, had already been investigated by the previous gangsters. The other party presumed that Varo could no longer come out of the gladiator school alive. Therefore, he did not make the matter as rigorous as possible. As long as someone with a heart checked, he could basically understand the context.

However, Zhang Heng was somewhat surprised to learn the truth.

Varo was waving his sweat on the training field, he didn't even know that Zhang Heng had won the championship, and now there was only one thing in his eyes: training, training, constant training.

Varo knew that his gifted strength was downstream among the gladiators and did not stand out. Until then, Zhang Heng's clandestine help was necessary to cross the border repeatedly, but he could not rely on Zhang Heng for the rest of his life, let alone now that the two were separated. If he wanted to get out of here, he would need more sweat and effort than others to complete his revenge.

Zhang Hengmei also did not mean to disturb Varo, just stood by and watched Varo train quietly.

It wasn't until a minute later that Wallow's practice was over that Zhang Heng on the other side was discovered. He put up his wooden sword and came this way, “Is the fight over? ”

“Mm-hmm.” Zhang Heng nodded.

“Who won the final championship? ”

“The man who stands before you now. ”

“I knew it,” Varo said, wholeheartedly pleased with Zhang Heng, "no one can defeat you, my Eastern friend, now Macrus will be saddened about what reward to give you, you have brought glory and fame to the Victor Arena. ”

“In fact, Marcus and I are no longer masters and slaves. ”

“What do you mean?” Varo told me, "Did he sell you? I don't think so. Didn't he always think of looking for Cissnattes' successor? ”

“No, I am now free and His Majesty the Emperor gave me the training sword after the performance. ”

“Is that true?” Varo's face was full of surprises, "but you only played a few fights. Was there a newcomer who was free so quickly before? ”

“Who knows, but I guess everything will be for the first time.” Zhang Heng certainly won't tell Varo his previous assumptions, he was just being humane to the former antique dealer, "After freedom, I and Marcruz also reached a new agreement, I will come back every month to help him fight a game, in addition to the reward, he also agreed to let you free. ”

“You brought me with you?” Varo was blushing when he heard the words. He remembered when the two men had just met, and he had euphemistically told Zhang Heng that he could not take him to the business together.

But Zhang Hengfa looked like he didn't care, “You don't have to think about it, we weren't familiar at the time, and your reaction was normal. I want to remind you that your opponent may not be the only one with your wife and best friends. Do you know Pellegrino? ”

Varo frowned, “The name sounds familiar. Oh, I remember, he's the senator of the senate, and his servant came to me earlier with two antique vases, saying that Peregrino was going to sell these two precious little things for money. ”

“And then what? ”

“Then I went through a detailed examination and told him that his owner and he might have been deceived because the two vases were not antiques at all, but his servant said I was deceiving him, and he falsely told me that I had dropped the vase at the time of the appraisal, but that he was by my side at the time of the appraisal.” Valodore, "then a few elder customers came out to prove my credibility, and it didn't go away, then I didn't take it too seriously, why did you mention Peregrino, etc., you mean he had something to do with what I was set up with? ”

“In fact, more precisely, he is the one who dominates all this, and as for your best friend and your wife, their relationship has indeed not lasted… for some time, they are afraid to be discovered by you, but with their abilities, they cannot make such a plan. ”

“This is also where I've always been strange," Valo grinned, “I said before that I didn't think my best friend would lie to me, besides the affair between us, and because I knew what he was capable of, so you're saying that Peregrino wanted to deal with me and then bought my best friend and wife, but why? Why did Peregrino do this to me, I'm just a little antique dealer, just because I didn't take his two fake vases? ”

“The bigger reason, I'm afraid, is because your family's accumulated wealth makes him blush. ”

“Hmm?”

“I asked for help investigating Peregrino, and this was not the first time this old man had done this, and many people had been targeted by him, or had accepted his blackmail honestly, and many of them had not listened to you.” Zhang Hengdao.

“So am I being followed by an elder?” Varo's eyes flashed with fear. After all, the full name of the Roman Empire is the Senate and the Roman people. Class is distinct. The elders in the Senate are huge for ordinary people. Varo thought his enemies were only his friends and wives, but he did not expect to be a superior elder, but after this transformation, Varo's inner heart became much stronger. His divine color soon returned to normal. To Zhang Hengdao, "I have a request. ”

“Hmm?”

“I don't want my freedom back. ”

“Oh, why, aren't you always working for freedom? ”

Valo held his fist tight, “That was when I didn't know who my opponent was, and since the man behind the scenes was Peregrino, he must have said hello to Marcus, which is why Marcus ignored me when I recommended myself earlier, and if I left Gladiators School, it might not be long before this thing got to Peregrino, no, probably Marcus would have told Peregrino directly, he wouldn't want to offend Peregrino, yes, I wanted to be free, I dreamed of breathing the air back out there, but now is not the time, and I won't leave until I find a way to deal with Peregrino before I get stronger. ”

Zhang Hengyuan raised his eyebrows with some surprise. “Looks like you've really grown a lot during this time. That's right, this is really your best choice right now. ”

“You've helped me a lot since we met,” Valo looked into Zhang Heng's eyes, honestly, “I don't know how to repay your kindness, but in the end, it's my business, so next, I hope I can solve it myself, I'll find a way. ”
