Chapter 6768
Travis said mildly, "Logically speaking, you've been with Harvey for so long. You know him better than normal soldiers like us. You think that if we don't report what happens to him at such a critical time, we're hiding things from him. Won't he feel guilty once he finds out in the future?
"In the past, he taught us that those who have martial power should serve the people and the country. Are you really going to say nothing to him at this point?"
Ethan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "We'll take it step by step. We might not really end up in a conflict on the border, so let me think about it."

The third ring of Wolsing, the Ninth Branch.
In the CEO's office, Mandy had just poured Harvey a cup of coffee. She was stunned.
"How did you know about the underground boxing ring? We do have an asset like that, but since it's in a gray area, it's not suitable to be spoken of openly.
"That place has raised a lot of martial arts elites and trained many of our security guards, which is why it could run for so many years. Aside from important holidays, the underground boxing ring will have ten bouts every day. And every month, we'll have a tournament. All we need is to charge some money for the entrance fee and it'll be enough to pay for all the fighters."
"So, it's more of an entertainment venue?" Harvey frowned. "But why did I hear other than opening up to the public, your income from this underground boxing ring is to make customers gamble? Something like horse racing, where both sides simply bet on who wins and who loses."
Mandy lowered her gaze and didn't answer the question.
Harvey frowned.
"This is very important, Mandy. I won't say anything if you know about it, but if you don't, you should pay more attention. From my sources, you've already lost many times. Each time, you lose 1.5 million dollars. A couple more times, and the accumulated amount is shocking. You can't let this continue."
Mandy looked away and said slowly, "Of course I know. The biggest attraction for an underground boxing ring has always been the gambling. In some ways, the Ninth Branch is the biggest house in the underground boxing ring. We did lose some money in the past few days, but everything is still under control. Even if we lose all the money, I'll request help from the Jeans of Mordu.
"Don't worry. This is something the Jeans of Mordu will have to deal with. Even if you ask me to close it down, I can't. I don't have the authority."
She avoided his gaze, sounding quite nervous.
"You can't say that," Harvey admonished. "What if you lose the entire Ninth Branch? Do you honestly think the Jeans of Mordu will cover your losses? No! Families like that knew no loyalty. They will harvest the profit when there's something for them. When there's nothing else to harvest, they'll abandon you."
