Chapter 1176 Investigation Ends
The investigation quickly yielded results: several of Aunt Wang's staff members found a recording device on the referee's person. With the discovery of this device, everything became clear.
"Good heavens, I was wondering why the referee's command in the previous rounds was so abnormal. It turns out it was you who pulled some dirty tricks behind the scenes?" Xiao Hei stared at the referee in front of him with some resentment.
"Damn it, how can you act like this as a referee?" Zhang Jianwen couldn't help but curse out loud.
"It's you who almost made me suspect there was a mole in our team!" The fat man next to him glared at the referee and said.
No one expected that it was the referee who was secretly plotting behind Feng Jun's group, receiving instructions from them and relaying them to the irritable team.
Just then, the middle-aged man who had just entered also received a phone call and walked aside to listen attentively.
After a while, the middle-aged man came to Feng Jun's side and said in a serious tone, "Mr. Feng, we have investigated the matter thoroughly. It is true that someone from the irritable team bribed two referees on site."
Xiao Wu in the "Prosperous Family" VIP room and Lao Liu in the "Raging Team" VIP room were both bribed.
Furthermore, we have just discovered that the money was given privately by one of the bosses of the volatile team.
We will take serious action against the irritable team and the two referees on site.
In addition, congratulations to the Prosperous Family for successfully advancing to the final four!
"Okay, that'll be fine! Just take care of it!" Feng Jun nodded calmly.
Although today's competition was incredibly thrilling, especially since they were constantly suppressed in the first few rounds, fortunately, the Prosperous Family still managed to advance to the top eight.
What Feng Jun didn't expect was that someone from the volatile team had bribed the two referees on site, which led to the Prosperous Family being in a passive and suppressed situation for a time.
You should know that such a thing had never happened in the previous three editions of the Heroes' Martial God Tournament, but this time it happened to him.
However, after a moment's thought, Feng Jun came up with a solution. This year's Martial God Tournament had garnered considerable attention, with significant betting odds outside the arena, even exceeding those of the previous three tournaments.
Previously, Aunt Wang had actually carried out a cleanup, a large-scale rectification, which even led to the imprisonment of many livestreamers.
However, the market was simply too huge, and many people stopped doing this domestically and went directly to set up platforms overseas. Faced with this situation, even Aunt Wang was powerless to help.
Take this match for example, the odds are definitely astonishing, especially if the volatile team wins, they might just make a huge profit.
This naturally leads some people to take risks, because it's hard to control one's desires when faced with a profit of ten or even dozens of times.
Feng Jun ignored the referee's cries and led the members of the Fan Hua family out of the internet cafe's private room. After all, what happened next had little to do with the Fan Hua family, and even if Feng Jun wanted to intervene, he had no chance.
For Feng Jun now, the priority is to prepare for the quarterfinals.
"If there are no surprises, our next opponent will be Feng Shao's team from the Forbidden City!" Feng Jun said, heading to another private room and staring intently at the screen in front of him.
The second match in the lower bracket has begun, but it is different from the somewhat difficult match for the Prosperous Family.
The duel between Feng Shao's team from the Forbidden City server and Zhan Wudi's family from Zhu Zifang was almost one-sided.
With the advantage of having a superior formation, the Forbidden City Feng Shao team gave their opponents very little chance to resist or counterattack. Their attacks were as smooth and fluid as mercury, and the rhythm of the entire game was firmly in the hands of the Feng Shao team.
In just twenty-three rounds, Feng Shao's team successfully defeated Zhan Wudi's family from the Zhu Zi Fang server, securing a victory in the competition.
They also became the sixth top team to make it into the top eight.
And it was precisely because of Feng Shao's team's advancement that the opponent of the Prosperous Family's top eight was also determined, namely Feng Shao's team.
The champion and runner-up teams from the previous Martial God Altar Tianyuan Group met in the quarterfinals ahead of schedule, which exceeded many people's expectations.
"The Zhan Wudi family? They still can't do it? I was hoping they could make a comeback and eliminate Young Master Feng's team!" Xiao Hei said, looking somewhat frustrated as he stared at the screen in front of him.
Actually, everyone is not stupid. The members of the Prosperous Family were in the private room, and almost everyone was supporting the Invincible Warrior Family.
After all, compared to the Zhan Wudi family, their strength was obviously much weaker, and no one wanted to encounter the terrifyingly powerful Feng Shao team so early on.
Unfortunately, no miracle occurred. The Zhan Wudi family was ultimately no match for the powerful Feng Shao team. They were decisively defeated in just twenty-three rounds, ending their journey in the Martial God Altar.
"Come on, everyone wants the Zhan Wudi family to win, but the strength of both sides is what it is. What's more, Young Master Feng's team has obtained a great advantage in formation. The Zhan Wudi family's strength is relatively weak, how could they possibly win against Young Master Feng's team?" Feng Jun took a deep drag of his cigarette and looked at the people beside him.
"Sigh, I still have a bit of a headache. None of our opponents in the top eight are easy to beat. If nothing unexpected happens, even if we beat Feng Shao's team, we'll still have to face the challenge from Baihuacun Wei Shao's team next."
"This lower bracket is full of the top three teams from last year. If we want to stand out from the lower bracket, we really have to beat all of them!" the fat man sighed.
Just as the fat man said, the pressure on the Prosperous Family is not small at all. If they want to stand out from the lower half of the bracket, they must defeat the runner-up and third place of the previous Heroes Martial God Tournament.
Even if you manage to emerge from the lower half of the bracket, you will still face a challenge from the upper half.
"At this stage, there are no simple duels anymore. But no matter who our opponent is, we must give it our all and leave no regrets!" Zhou Yu said earnestly.
"Alright, alright, don't take it so seriously. There's still some time before the quarterfinals. Let's go eat first!" Feng Jun chuckled and patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder.
