Chapter 964: Chapter 964: This World

Pelican Bay Prison, the most infamous prison, was rumored to detain the most atrociously wicked criminals.

…

Willard smiled, seemingly unfazed by the burns on his body. Leaning forward, he looked at Bai Youwei, “I survived, and I will continue to survive. If you have any last wishes, feel free to share them. Maybe I can help you fulfill them.”

Even though she knew these words were a provocation, Bai Youwei still considered them seriously… If she really was going to die this time, what unfulfilled wishes did she have?

Was it because she hadn’t lived long enough?

Or because she hadn’t seen enough landscapes?

Faces flashed through her mind, and her heart remained unusually calm.

She had thought she’d live a dull life in a wheelchair, but looking back now, she felt like she’d gained more than she’d imagined.

If she had to name a regret, it would probably be that before joining the battle, Shen Mo hadn’t returned. She hadn’t had the chance to look at him one last time, wrap him in one last embrace, one last kiss…

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps interrupted her thoughts.

Bai Youwei turned her head and her eyes widened in surprise, “…you…how could you…”

Shen Mo’s face was stern as he strode up to her, followed by Tan Xiao, Chang Weicai, and Pan Xiaoxin.

Tan Xiao saw so many people opposite and blew an exaggerated whistle, “Wow, Weiwei, did you leave us to take them on alone?”

“I…” Bai Youwei started to speak, but was immediately interrupted by Shen Mo.

“What are the rules of the game?” Shen Mo asked.

Bai Youwei: “…”

Was she being shamed?

Willard chuckled lightly from the opposite side, “Such a touching scene… To arrive just before the battle begins, you must all share a very close bond. If I can make you die together, I would have done a good deed.”

His followers behind him laughed mockingly, their eyes filled with derision towards Bai Youwei and Shen Mo’s group.

Five people against forty-five was clearly a suicidal mission.

Bai Youwei’s gaze darkened as she stared coldly at Willard, “Your sense of superiority is utterly absurd. You should be more worried about yourself. If you lose, could you be torn apart by those behind you!”

Willard, as if hearing a joke, “Do you think I would lose to you twice?”

Bai Youwei retorted, “If not for sheer luck, you wouldn’t even be alive to meet me at the Final Battle Arena.”

Willard’s half-burned face finally showed a change, becoming fiercer and colder.

After a few seconds of silence, his bandaged body seemed tired, and he leaned back slightly, speaking in a hoarse voice,

“This time it’s different… This time, I will transfer the victor’s reward to these followers behind me. Of course, if the reward doesn’t satisfy them, I’ll demote them to commoners and meet their demands to exit the game.”

The forty-five followers behind him had various expressions, but one thing was the same–the fervor in their eyes.

Forty-five people against merely five, who would want to give up such an advantage?

Bai Youwei looked worriedly at Shen Mo.

But Shen Mo wouldn’t look at her.

Bai Youwei: “…”

“Thank you for waiting, everyone.” A rabbit gentleman entered the Final Battle Arena and bowed politely, “I am the Inspector of this final battle. Now that everyone is here, let me explain once more the specific rules of this battle.”

Bai Youwei and Willard stopped talking.

Everyone’s eyes turned to the Inspector.

“First…” The rabbit gentleman moved between two thrones and smiled, “I must inform both contestants that the ultimate prize is…”

After a brief pause, he whispered, “This world.”
