Chapter 1991: Chapter 2054: Conspiracy
So they were waiting here for . Li Yifei glanced back and understood that these chanisms were not as simple as they seed; they were controllable and changeable. Thus, Li Yifei also realized those people didn’t want him to pass safely.
Then you can’t bla . Li Yifei glanced at the tenth challenge. This was the last one. Li Yifei didn’t know what chanisms were up there, as no one had passed this point before, but he still leapt forward, heading for the blue sapphire ring the saintess wanted.
In his earpiece, the director was already yelling, telling the staff to knock Li Yifei down imdiately and not to let him pass the tenth challenge. Otherwise, the show wouldn’t be attractive anymore, with the grand prize taken, what else would draw the viewers’ attention?
Lucy had her mouth wide open, not knowing what to say. Li Yifei perford so fiercely that even the parkour expert had his mouth open, eyes wide with disbelief, as the man he had looked down upon actually did it.
Li Yifei had already reached the middle of the tenth challenge, less than ten ters away from victory. At the sa ti, he had resisted several ambushes with his body. The chanisms frantically obstructed him. An outsider might think the difficulty increased significantly this ti, but they didn’t know soone was sabotaging the challenge.
However, what left the director and everyone else dumbfounded was that the man seed like a magnet. No matter how the chanisms attacked, even if they hit his body, he just wouldn’t fall off and remained firmly attached, surpassing even a monkey in skill. Even a gorilla would certainly be knocked off under such assaults.
Despite their amazent, they still had to stop Li Yifei.
"Oh my God!" Lucy had forgotten to comnt, covering her mouth. She knew the trickery involved, yet under such circumstances, the guy maintained a fast pace through. Those mighty chanisms couldn’t handle this not-so-strong or tall Asian man.
This is... this is freaking unbelievable. How could this guy be so strong?
Du Bi also forgot to comnt, not even thinking about what would happen if he lost. Instead, he worried that if Li Yifei really passed, the show’s future episodes would be ruined.
"Yeah!!!" The audience below erupted with earth-shattering cheers, not for anything else but because Li Yifei had successfully passed the challenge and pressed the button on the prize pedestal, which was slowly descending from high in the air.
Damn! Swearing burst through the earpiece. Staff were shouting about how difficult this guy was, even though the chanisms were maxed out and manually controlled. It should have been impossible for him to withstand, yet he landed steadily on the prize pedestal.
When the pedestal descended, Li Yifei reached for the exquisite crystal cover, but found no chanism to open it. He looked around, saw no one coming to tell him how to take it, so he just clenched his fist and punched the crystal cover. With a bang, it shattered, and Li Yifei grabbed the prize, raising the box high with a triumphant shout.
The crowd below was in a frenzy. They had watched countless episodes of this show, never seeing anyone win the final grand prize right off the bat.
Li Yifei turned to the saintess and winked at her. The saintess imdiately placed her hand over her mouth, blowing a kiss in return.
The two hosts were dumbfounded. Their earpieces were filled with curses, and they actually forgot to host the show.
When they snapped out of it, Li Yifei had already jumped off the prize pedestal, covering a seven or eight-ter distance in one bound, with a smooth landing.
Li Yifei, holding the box with the sapphire ring, opened it, took out the ring, and walked to the saintess. Holding the ring with his fingers, he said, "This is for you."
The saintess appeared very excited, her face full of smiles, yet she didn’t take the ring but extended her right hand instead, saying, "Please put it on for ."
Seeing her extend her right hand’s ring finger, Li Yifei instantly understood and put the ring on. The surrounding audience began to hoot, chanting for him to kiss her.
The saintess shook her head slightly, and Li Yifei didn’t kiss her. Given their special status, what happened today was already quite outrageous. Kissing on cara could spark worldwide attention.
So Li Yifei just held the saintess’s hand and began to leave. After all, they had the prize, and there was nothing else for them now.
"Oh, let’s congratulate Mr. Jin from Huaxia. He is simply amazing, not only breaking our records but also becoming the first Asian to successfully clear the challenge on our show. Congratulations to them!" Lucy, finally reacting, started the congratulations, and Du Bi followed with, "Indeed, he is truly amazing. Let’s congratulate him."
The director and a few staff mbers chased after them, stopping Li Yifei and the saintess as they were about to exit the park.
"Sothing you need?" Li Yifei slightly raised his chin, looking at a skinny, small-mustached European man.
The director gave an awkward laugh, saying, "Sir, I am the chief director of the Devil’s Challenge show."
"Oh, thank you for the ring. My wife loves it," Li Yifei said.
The saintess tily raised her hand, displaying the ring she liked. Although it might not be very precious, the aning behind it was different, which she valued greatly.
Seeing the ring, the director’s eye twitched. He forced a smile, saying, "First of all, congratulations to you both, especially to you, sir. Your strength is indeed extraordinary!"
"And then?" Li Yifei raised an eyebrow.
"I wonder if you two could spare so ti to have a chat in a quieter place?" the director asked.
Li Yifei glanced at the saintess, who was in a good mood and didn’t object.
In an office next to the park, the director made his request, wanting to buy back the sapphire with money, claiming publicly that Li Yifei preferred cash. Of course, the offered price was suppressed to 100,000 Euros; saving as much as they could.
Eyeing the muscular n standing beside the director, each looking hostile, an average tourist might be forced to agree, but unfortunately for them, they faced Li Yifei, who outright refused.
"I really like this ring, without which I wouldn’t have let my dear take the stage to attempt the challenge. So, Mr. Director, please don’t bring it up again," the saintess directly declined.
The director’s face stiffened. He glanced around, still insisting, "I think money is more straightforward. You seem to be here in Austria for vacation. If you got 100,000 Euros, your trip might be more enjoyable. Why not consider my suggestion?"
Li Yifei chuckled and said, "My wife already said she prefers the ring to your money, so we won’t agree."
The director couldn’t keep his smile, dropped his expression, and said, "The ring on your wife’s hand is the biggest promotional feature in the challenge show’s seasons, yet it was won in the first episode, causing us significant losses. If you refuse to return it, then don’t bla us..."
"Oh, do you intend to snatch it back?" Li Yifei stood upright, his face no longer smiling.
"No, I’ve offered to buy it back, and you refused," the director said, as his muscular backup approached, flexing intimidatingly.
The director continued, "I know a phrase from Huaxia that ans you should understand the situation before taking action, or you’ll suffer. I think you are smart enough to know what to choose. Besides, 100,000 Euros is quite a lot. If it were soone else, you might only get 10,000 Euros, or perhaps, you won’t get any at all."
"Is that a threat?"
The director shrugged, pushed his gold-rimd glasses higher on his nose, and said, "Not really, just a common fact."
Seeing the brawny n closing in, Li Yifei felt so irritation. He didn’t expect winning a ring would still get him tangled up in trouble. Li Yifei snorted and said, "Didn’t think you were such a shaless bunch, manipulating the challenge and then trying to use underhanded thods to get back what was won!"
"No, no, this is not underhanded. Young man, you don’t understand Europe, nor do you know what underhanded ans. At most, I’m reasoning with you; you can choose to reason with
or... not listen!" The director shook his head, raised a finger and waggled it, then added, "You can think it over. I’ll co back in ten minutes."
Saying this, the director started to leave, leaving a few of the robust n to guard Li Yifei and the saintess.
"No need to think. My wife said she likes the ring, and we won’t give it up," Li Yifei replied directly.
The director spun around abruptly, glaring at Li Yifei angrily. Emphasizing each word, he said, "Young man, then let
teach you a lesson: don’t easily refuse people’s goodwill. Cuff him and the woman. An Asian woman willing to marry a European man is just too disgraceful!"
On the director’s order, the brawny n moved toward Li Yifei. But instead of fear in Li Yifei’s eyes, they saw calmness, and Li Yifei chuckled.
"Get them, snatch the ring back, and teach them a lesson. No 100,000 Euros this ti!" The director waved his hand and shouted.
Alright then, Li Yifei imdiately took action. In a few slaps, four robust n were down in less than three seconds, hardly having ti to react. The director’s ordering hand was still in the air when he saw all his n on the floor.
Li Yifei stepped up to the director and gave him a punch too, knocking him to the ground.
