Chapter 6769

Mandy kept mum. Harvey sighed. "Fine. Let's not talk about closing the underground boxing ring. Explain to me what has been going on lately. Just how much have you lost?" Mandy took a deep breath to calm herself down and sat opposite Harvey. She picked up her coffee and finished it in one gulp before saying with a sigh, "Because of what happened with the real estate earlier, the Ninth Branch can't simply open up new markets in a short time. We're bleeding money every day. "I realized the Ninth Branch can be supported by just the underground boxing ring. Unfortunately, even our profit from the ring is falling. One of our shareholders gave us the idea to allow guests to bring their own fighters rather than simply betting on fighters. That way, it becomes a competition between the host and the guest. "A few days ago, a group of guests came with eight elites and wanted to bet with the underground boxing ring. They said they'll be betting 7 million dollars a match. I didn't want to agree, but I was forced to because of the situation I was in. In the beginning, we won a few rounds and they made it look like they were becoming desperate. And so, they increased the wager to 15 million dollars. "We won a few more rounds before losing match after match. Not only did we lose all the money we've won, but we already lost 300 million dollars. Even if we sell all the real estate at a low price, we wouldn't be able to afford to pay for everything. In other words, the Ninth Branch has no way back. If we continue, we might have a chance to turn the tables around. If we stop, we lose everything." Mandy sighed, her eyes full of helplessness. After she got in control, she did a lot of things so the Ninth Branch could continue to prosper. She never expected that no matter what she did, she would always encounter new problems. Worse, her lacking abilities failed to solve anything. She knew the higher-ups of the Jeans of Mordu didn't have a good impression of her. If anything happened, they wouldn't help. Rather, they would use this chance to switch her out. Harvey nodded and started to think about how to deal with this issue. "Usually in an underground boxing ring, there should be quite a few elites, right?" Mandy nodded. "While we don't have any True Warriors from the legends, we have a few that are almost at that level." Harvey wasn't sure how to feel when he heard Mandy say that. Back in Niumhi, Mandy wouldn't know anything about True Warriors and Kings of Arms. The fact that she did now showed her growth and explained just how much she had to take care of… He shook his head and cleared his mind from all thoughts. Then he said, "If you can still lose when you have elites like that, it means your opponents aren't weak to begin with." Mandy hesitated a little before saying, "I've already sent my men to investigate where these people are from, but we can't find anything at all. It's as if they're from another world…"
