Chapter 86 The Game Before the Storm Comes(1/2)
Batitas did not refuse Li Xiang's request.
Finding Spartacus's wife is just a small matter for Batitas to spend some money.
But Li Xiang is a money tree that can bring him a lot of wealth.
He responded very happily to this request.
Li Xiang has basically done all the ordinary gladiators in the training ground.
The only ones left were Gannicks, Cres and other arrogant strong men, who were a little resistant to Li Xiang's win over.
They recognize and admire Li Xiang's strength. The key is that they don't know what Li Xiang wants to do.
What's the use of winning over gladiators?
Can you help in group battles on the arena? With Li Xiang's personal strength, he can solve all the troubles alone.
Be the boss in daily life? He is already the boss, and Batitas is always in his request and gives him whatever he wants.
In this case, if Cres and others were not arrogant or domineering, they would not take anyone seriously, at least they would directly ignore the gladiators and regard them as useless waste.
What Li wanted to do made them feel very strange.
Batitas' ambitions also continued to expand with the victory in the arena.
He spent a lot of money to expand his power, constantly sending expensive gifts to Rome to seek backstage, and buying more gladiators ready to monopolize the entire Capua gladiator market.
In order to achieve his goal, Batiatas even borrowed a large amount of money from the high-li loan merchant.
And Batitas's enemy family did not sit idly by and watch all this.
Unlike Batiatus who was determined to find a backer in Rome, his enemy chose to expand his power in Capua.
The local consul was soon bought and stood opposite Batitas.
As for the fact that it doesn’t matter if you can’t win in the arena, just use the off-balance moves.
The moral concept of Roman aristocrats was papyrus, which was useful when it was useful, and wiped a few times when it was useless and thrown away at will.
They chose to attack Batitas, trying to physically eliminate the opponent, and then inherit his gladiators.
The God of Luck took care of him and allowed him to escape from heaven.
Batitas was determined to take revenge, and his personality began to gradually distort.
There were also constant disputes in the training camp. Cres, who was in love with his maid, and Ashur, who wanted to get ahead by betrayal of his fellow villagers, was running wildly on the road to death.
Li Xiang was watching all this coldly.
What he prepared was almost done, and only the last channel for outbreak was left.
These chaotic stories are all Mars that ignite explosives.
What Li Yao didn't expect was that there were many things to do with him.
"Spartacus."
The proprietress was half lying on the couch in the mansion, greeting Li Xiang with charm, "There are two distinguished guests from Rome, who want to see you."
Li Xiang looked around, let alone guards, even the maid was gone.
When Batiatus went to Rome to find a backer for his revenge, the boss lady was the real master here.
"What do you want me to do?" Li Xiang spread his hands casually. "Are you going to fight me?"
The boss lady covered her mouth and giggled, "It's indeed a gladiator, but a gladiator without a sword."
As an old driver, facing the situation where the wheels pressed directly on his face, his eyes became clearer and clearer. "Madam, I don't understand what you are saying."
“No need to understand.”
The proprietress got up, took Li Xiang's hand and walked towards the back hall of the mansion, "You just need to do it."
In the Roman era when entertainment was lacking, gladiatorial activities were the most concerned entertainment activities from the nobles to the people.
Gladiators, whose fame is like those stars in later generations, are an existence that countless people have sought after.
Especially those top gladiators who have great fame and strength and are sought after by countless people, and even nobles will become their fans.
Judging from the openness of the Roman nobles in some aspects, it is normal for girls to take the initiative to contact top gladiators to communicate this kind of thing in private.
Although the boss's wife did not introduce the identities of the two girls, this cannot be hidden from Li Xiang.
Both are blonde girls, one of whom is General Grebe's wife Elysia.
The other one, when the two of them played cards, Li Xiang threw out the king's bomb with great force, frightened the girl and screamed, he asked her identity.
The girl who was shocked did not hesitate at all and directly revealed her identity.
Leginia, Crasso's sister.
Crasso, the richest man in Rome, one of the three giants, and the Roman consul.
The greatest achievement in his life was to pacify the Spartacus uprising. Later, he led the Roman legion to attack the Ayami Empire, but the entire army was wiped out and his head was cut off and his mouth was stuffed with gold.
There is a short story about the fact that after Crassus's entire army was wiped out, a Roman legion fled eastward to the Han Dynasty.
More than two thousand years later, someone used this story to shoot a bad movie about Lion, and I don’t know if it was true or false.
Everyone involved in this game was very satisfied.
The boss’s wife has gained friendship from her best friend, and they can all speak with the powerful person.
The two blonde girls gained a lot of satisfaction!
They are very satisfied with the card game. They are not only able to play cards with top stars, but also extremely rare top stars from the East. They greatly satisfy their sense of curiosity.
Li Xiang is also quite satisfied. After all, the card friends are not low in appearance and have various attributes. For example, they are not allowed to say anything.
During the days before Batitas returned from Rome, Li Xiang was basically called to join his personal hand every night to participate in the game.
The card friends are very enthusiastic and their cooperation is getting better and better when playing cards.
In other words, Li Xiang lost alone, and he had to lose more than one billion every day.
Card friends make a lot of money. Not only do they win enough, but they also feel good after winning, and even their complexion becomes brighter and more charming.
This is a good state for everyone, and it is over with Batitas's return.
Batitas's face looked ugly.
His trip to Rome ended in failure, spending huge amounts of wealth but failing to get a big shot. Anyone would have looked unlucky.
If you have anger in your heart, you have to vent your anger, and naturally some of the gladiators will be in trouble.
Cres, who was in love with the maid, was caught and sold to the mine, while Cres was severely punished.
I was locked up for two days, and then I was beaten and locked up in a single room and hungry.
When Li Xiang walked into the room with his fine wine and food, Cres's eyes were silent.
Li Xiang, who forced himself to hold back the pungent smell, put food and wine in front of him. "Eat first, only when people are full will they have the energy to think about other things."
Cres moved, as if he was silently refusing.
But in the end, he picked up the food.
After drinking and eating, Li Xiang opened the right way, "Do you want to be with your lover?"
Cres looked up in surprise, "How is that possible."
"It's impossible not to talk about it for now, just say whether you want to."
"Of course I do."
"It's fine if you want." Li Xiang waved his hand and said, "Stay good rest and listen to my instructions when the time is right."
When he was about to go out, Cres finally couldn't help asking him, "What do you want to do?"
Li Xiang turned his head to look at him, and it was the first time that he responded positively, "I just want everyone to be a real person."
Cres is very influential in the Gladiators, and his attitude can influence many gladiators.
The unlucky thing afterwards was Spartacus. His wife was found, but Batitas did not allow them to meet, but instead arranged his wife Sura to be a maid in the mansion.
In the original plot, Sura was killed directly.
The reason is that Batitas wants Spartacus to focus on being a pure money-making machine.
Now, Spartacus' status has been replaced by Li Xiang, and his importance has declined greatly.
The reason why he didn't return Sura to him was that in addition to the slaves they bought for money, Batiatus was more angry at this time and did not care about the gladiator's mood.
"don’t worry."
Lee wanted to appease Spartacus "It won't take long before you can rescue your wife."
“I’m willing to do anything about it.”
Spartacus seriously swears to Li Xiang, "It's all you can to sacrifice your life for this!"
Patting his shoulder, Li Xiang left a smile that was all in control. "Believe me, soon."
The reason why Li Xiang is so confident is because he got the exact news from the Syrian Ashur.
