Chapter 1037: Chapter 1037: Tomorrow’s Event Tragedy

Xu Huo turned around, "Isn’t giving your all a way to show respect to your opponent?"

It still looked like the man in the suit was going to lose; his overly confident demeanor indicated he wasn’t used to losing. Friends gathered to play might not go easy, but they wouldn’t likely sabotage each other, so when faced with sabotage, his proud skills might be limited in effectiveness, and he seemed a bit upset. It was unclear whether he was upset about losing to a newbie or realizing his friends had always been merciful.

After two more rounds, the man in the suit straightforwardly admitted defeat, even voluntarily handing over the prop he had used to Xu Huo, courteously saying, "I’m fully convinced by my loss. I didn’t know you could play pool like that."

"I’m Wei Chengzhang, sir. It’s your first time to District 002, how about we become friends?"

Xu Huo still used the name Xu Zhi, and then he asked him and Wei Yu, "Are you brothers?"

"Cousins." Wei Chengzhang introduced several people to him; Wei Yu was his cousin. The player with a mole at the end of his eyebrow came with another person called Young Master Hong. Only one person went by the code name Lao Qi (Old Qi). The mixed-race player He Ji was friends with Wei Yu.

Among them, only Lao Qi was a Rank-B player, but both Lao Qi and Wei Yu were Super Evolvers.

Just from the distribution of personnel, it seemed that either the Wei family wasn’t as big and wealthy as the Dong Family, or Wei Chengzhang and Young Master Hong were not core members of their families, unlike Dong Jingxuan who, though usually uninvolved with the family’s core business, had a father who was a significant member, ensuring he always had ten people with him when traveling afar.

However, their presence downstairs instead of at tomorrow’s event venue was quite telling.

After mutual introductions, Wei Chengzhang invited Xu Huo to try other activities, but at that moment, Dong Jingxuan contacted him. Knowing that he hadn’t left District 002 seemed to relieve him greatly, "I thought you had run off. Those two came back empty-handed, and Dong Qifeng’s face must have been awful to look at."

"I’m still at the building," Xu Huo said concisely, "playing pool."

"Not inviting me, that’s really not cool!" exclaimed Dong Jingxuan.

"Isn’t it a good opportunity to watch the show?" Xu Huo smiled and then added, "If you’re free, you can come down and join me."

Dong Jingxuan, likely truly bored, immediately asked for the location and rushed down, followed by Brother Lei and five other players.

Xu Huo changed his expression, then raised his hand to call out to him.

Dong Jingxuan was rushing forward when Brother Lei stopped him, "Young Master Xuan, verify the identity first."

Xu Huo tossed over the "Little Tunnel," which Brother Lei caught before handing it to Dong Jingxuan.

After confirming it was an item won from Dong Qifeng, Dong Jingxuan smiled and approached, asking, "How’s the game going?"

Both Wei Chengzhang and Young Master Hong clearly knew Dong Jingxuan, exchanged glances, and came over to greet him.

Dong Jingxuan might not qualify as a successor to his family, but as a scion of a prominent family, he had the basic knowledge. He recognized these two men, but it seemed from his expression they weren’t close. After greeting them, he then asked Xu Huo, "How did you end up playing together?"

Xu Huo shifted the Rank-B prop in his hand, "There was a bet."

Dong Jingxuan chuckled, "I’m not good at pool, but I can raise the stakes, and I’ll cover Mr. Xu’s bets!"

Wei Chengzhang and the others appeared somewhat surprised, and Wei Chengzhang commented, "This friend of Young Master Xuan plays quite well; we all lost."

While simultaneously asking Xu Huo if he had played before, Dong Jingxuan began pulling out the stakes. However, he failed to notice that after greeting Wei Chengzhang and the others, several players on the floor began subtly moving toward them.

Brother Lei was the first to notice, so he and the four players who came with him tacitly shielded Dong Jingxuan. Wei Yu, Lao Qi, and He Ji then spread out around Wei Chengzhang and Young Master Hong to protect them.

The turn of events occurred suddenly. Before Dong Jingxuan could put the prop on the table, the lights in the hall suddenly went out, and the emergency lights were immediately smashed. The sounds of rapid combat quickly rose from different directions. Someone used a lighting prop immediately, but the light was extinguished the moment it appeared. In that brief moment, Young Master Hong, who had been standing behind Xu Huo and beside Dong Jingxuan, was already beheaded and lay on the ground!

Of course, from the moment the lights went out to the first burst of light, not just one person died, but most of those who died seemed to be members of prominent families from Snow City. Passersby and players responsible for their protection suffered few losses!

Someone immediately realized it was a targeted assassination and shouted, "Quick, get out!"

"We need to leave too!" Brother Lei turned to pull Dong Jingxuan, but understanding that Young Master Hong was just in front of him and had been killed saved him, Dong Jingxuan immediately asked Xu Huo, who had just pulled him, "Can we make it out?"

"We can’t leave now," Xu Huo quickly responded, "Head to the corner."

After speaking, he turned, and seeing him so resolute, Dong Jingxuan hesitated briefly before running with him—after all, their position was closer to the corner, and the door was several dozen meters away. Even if they had to break through walls, it was better to reach the edge first before taking action!

In a critical moment, Brother Lei certainly wouldn’t let him move freely and was about to use a prop to pull him over when he suddenly noticed unusual noises from the ceiling. He immediately called his companions to dodge toward the edge of the room while quickly grabbing Dong Jingxuan to accelerate.

As they moved to the edge by the wall, the floor of tomorrow’s event venue above suddenly collapsed. Massive metal panels, along with the weight of people on top, buried the entire nearby indoor entertainment hall in the blink of an eye. Many people died instantly upon impact, and those slightly luckier were trapped in the angles between metal tables and chairs. But they couldn’t hold out for long as people from upstairs continuously rolled down, and a considerable number of players chose to use the level below as a springboard to jump back to the event venue above... This led to those trapped in angles seeking survival being directly crushed to death or squeezed by the debris.

Of course, apart from a few who had run to the door at the very beginning or those in the collapse’s dead zone, those in the center of the room or running towards the door were almost all killed instantly, along with some players.

Naturally, some who reacted quickly ran into the game or used props to block, but relative to those who died, their numbers were few.

However, this tragic scene was quickly buried as players from tomorrow’s event venue came down, and a new round of killing started.

"No loud noises!" someone shouted from the corner, and the room filled with commands for using props quieted down instantly, causing some props to become unusable, while some players in Snow City uniforms suddenly turned on their own and began slaughtering their companions!
