Arena event: Lunar New Year 2026 · 11 February 2026
Ref — briefing
You're quick, I'll give you that! Now listen up. When I first came up with the Arena, I had no idea how much cash it would actually take. And once my own money ran out, I had to dip into someone else's pockets. Long story short, I borrowed from a couple of influential investors. Then those guys disappeared for a while, and everything was fine. But now that the Arena has started paying off, guess what, the debts came back knocking! And a lot of interest piled up along the way. Sure, my first thought was to just put these “guests” down, but reputation matters in business. So I'm going to pay what I owe, especially since these gentlemen are willing to make a favorable deal. You'll be part of it too. Nothing complicated. We're working off an old, proven scheme. I place some special bets, you eliminate the right people, and everyone involved makes good money. Simple enough. Here are the details my, uh... creditors asked for.
