Chapter 699: Striptease
The large screen started spinning, updating the final information, and then stopped the betting channel.
"Betting has closed, please take a short break, the match will start shortly."
As the host’s voice fell, staff escorted the five warriors to the rest area, while the one about to take the stage was waiting in the arena.
At the same time, waitresses in cheongsams gracefully approached with trays, asking each table if they needed drinks or desserts.
Yang Cheng ordered two glasses of sparkling water and a set of desserts for Kong Lingwen.
About half an hour later, the guests in the venue had enjoyed fine wine and food, and the match officially began.
The tall, burly man stood in the center, looking very uneasy because he had drawn the black bear.
Of course, what the others got wasn’t great either, wondering if there was some insider operation, Kuang Niu, such a formidable person, drew the smallest magic wolf, while he got the black bear.
At this time, the iron cage slowly opened, and the black bear let out a roar, taking heavy steps as it slowly emerged.
Upon seeing the gigantic black bear, everyone’s eyes widened with excitement.
The burly man in the arena started to sweat profusely on his forehead, clenching his fists tightly. He knew this bear was much stronger than anticipated, but not until the beast approached him did he realize the gap between them.
The black bear in front of him was about the size of a polar bear. Even though the burly man was nearly two meters tall, he still had to look up at it.
The black bear opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth and exuding a strong fishy smell, then pounced towards the burly man.
The battle held no suspense and ended quickly. When the black bear bit into the man’s head, Yang Cheng reached out to cover Kong Lingwen’s eyes.
"Good job! Eat him all up, leave no bone shards behind!"
"Dammit! Useless punk, only lasted a few minutes, made me lose two million!"
The scene was in an uproar, some cheered loudly, while those who placed bets cursed loudly.
"Yang Cheng, no need to cover me, I’m not that scared."
Kong Lingwen had previously seen a scene of cannibalism while following Yang Cheng to Luochuan, so the beast eating a human didn’t scare her, but it made her feel uncomfortable.
These many wealthy people gathered in the club to watch the slaughter between humans and beasts; it’s utterly perverted.
Yang Cheng released the hand covering her eyes and instead embraced her.
After a match ends, there will be a break of more than ten minutes before the second match begins.
Seeing the outcome of the first warrior, the second person on stage was even more nervous, chased around by a giant tiger, eventually dying tragically under its claws.
The scene was filled once again with exclamations and noise, most people were very excited and felt it was worth the trip.
Yang Cheng watched this shouting group, finding it hard to imagine that they were either rich or noble, seemingly entering the clubhouse with masks but actually taking them off, freeing their true nature.
It is said that this man-versus-beast duel was something the Jile Clubhouse had long prepared for, bringing in beasts from various places in advance. To trigger their bloodlust, these beasts were starved and beaten a few days before taking the stage.
These beasts hated humans and were driven by their hunting instincts, so they had no choice but to rush in to tear and bite to fill their bellies.
Until the end of the third match, all three warriors were defeated, the ground stained red, emitting a strong smell of blood.
Yet, these wealthy people watching this bloody scene could still enjoy drinking wine and eating food with a satisfied expression.
"Dear guests! The first half of the matches has concluded, it was incredibly exciting! Unfortunately, all three warriors did not succeed."
"But that’s okay, in the second half, we have the much-anticipated warrior Kuang Niu!"
"Next is the most awaited segment, please welcome the club’s beauties to perform a dance for you."
As the host’s voice fell, the surroundings dimmed, while the screen remained bright, drawing everyone’s gaze.
On each side of the large screen appeared a row of shapely women, wearing sheer gauze dresses, the fabric was nearly transparent, with tassels or flowers covering their chest and lower body, exuding a beauty that hid yet revealed.
The women wore alluring smiles, swaying to the music, posing in seductive positions, teasingly revealing their allure.
The men in the audience instantly became frenzied, their eyes filled with desire.
"Yang Cheng, is it nice to watch?"
Kong Lingwen gritted her teeth and glared up at him.
Yang Cheng chuckled, "It’s quite nice, but their figures aren’t as good as yours; why don’t you dance for me when we get back?"
"In your dreams! I can’t dance."
Kong Lingwen snorted coldly.
"This dance doesn’t require any skill, just seduction. Look at how their movements fully showcase their body lines and moments of accidental exposure."
Yang Cheng analyzed with a sharp eye, unblinking at the stage.
Kong Lingwen was agitated, but she didn’t stop Yang Cheng from watching, as she couldn’t help but look too.
At that moment, the lights on the big screen dimmed even further, revealing the women slowly removing their gauzy clothing, unveiling their shapely curves.
The women were now truly bare, and the lighting cast various patterns on their bodies, as if painting on them.
Yang Cheng had to admit, this strip dance was truly captivating, getting him all heated up.
Many men around were getting handsy with their female companions, making suggestive noises.
A strip dance lasted more than half an hour, but at its end, everyone seemed to want more, with some even taking advantage of the dim surroundings for deeper contact.
Seeing Yang Cheng’s flushed face, Kong Lingwen sourly said, "It’s just a strip dance, I’ll learn it when we get back, and dance for you in the future."
Hearing this, Yang Cheng instantly became excited, eagerly saying, "Dance when we get back tonight, and then we..."
He leaned in close to Kong Lingwen, whispering, making her blush bright red.
"Pervert, I’ve never learned to dance, can’t do those high-difficulty moves."
"Just give it a try; you can definitely do it."
"Alright then."
Under Yang Cheng’s persuasion, Kong Lingwen agreed unknowingly that this would be a regrettable decision.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to begin the second half of the matches. You may place your final bets now, with a time limit of ten minutes."
After the host finished speaking, the information about the women who had just performed the strip dance scrolled across the big screen.
Yang Cheng raised an eyebrow, instantly realizing the purpose of this strip dance, which was to lure some lecherous patrons into placing more bets.
Sure enough, many among the top-ranked patrons were influenced, quickly placing more bets. Gao Peng’s top position was swiftly overtaken, dropping him directly to fifth place.
