Elba Island, an island located to the west of the central Italian sea, is the third largest island in Italy, though its area is not particularly large, spanning just over two hundred square kilometers.
In China, the scope of some first-tier cities is not much smaller than Elba Island.
Because Napoleon Bonaparte of France was once exiled here, Elba Island is also known as the Island of Exile.
With its beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, Elba Island has become a famous tourist island in Italy, enjoying considerable popularity on a daily basis.
Recently, as the World Gangster Competition is to be held here, the influx of people from all over the world has made Elba Island even more popular.
Let alone five-star hotels, even roadside inns are in short supply, and prices have been driven up.
Fortunately, Hong Tiancheng had started preparing over a month ago, arranging for his subordinates to book several suites at the Capri Hotel on Elba Island in advance, saving Zhang Fan and his companions a lot of trouble.
After nearly ten hours of flight, the plane finally landed on the sea surface about one kilometer west of Elba Island. By the time Zhang Fan and his companions disembarked, the sky had completely darkened.
The wide beach still had many tourists playing, even at night. As Zhang Fan and his group walked off the plane, they stepped through the rippling water towards the island.
The tourists playing by the sea did not seem surprised to see people walking on water. They only looked at Zhang Fan's group with envy.
"These foreigners don't seem too surprised. Do they often see people walking on water?" Yi Feicheng said, with Ye Jing in his arms, walking潇洒ly on the water. He was somewhat surprised by the tourists' calm reactions.
After all, if someone were seen walking on water in China, it would certainly attract a large crowd.
Besides the Chinese people's love for crowds, this is also because the number of Innate Grandmasters in China is truly scarce.
Even though there are hundreds of Innate Grandmasters in China, compared to the vast population, it is still very few.
"Perhaps they are used to it," Ailebella said.
Evidently, with the World Gangster Competition approaching, participants from leading gangs worldwide are arriving. They are at least at the level of Innate Grandmasters and are usually like big bosses in their own territories.
Even though they are in a foreign country, they have not restrained themselves and act without scruples, revealing many supernatural abilities in front of the public, which has made the tourists on Elba Island accustomed to seeing such things. Thus, they are no longer as surprised.
After landing on the island, the group did not arrange for a car to pick them up but instead walked leisurely, admiring the foreign scenery.
Although it was Zhang Fan's first time on Elba Island, he was not curious at all. After all, in his past life, he had seen too many strange sights in the universe and stars. No matter how beautiful and enchanting Elba Island's scenery was, it was difficult to arouse his interest.
On the other hand, Yi Feicheng and Guangtou Qiang seemed extremely curious, even casting glances at passing foreign uncles.
Yi Feicheng was genuinely interested in the exotic scenery of Elba Island, while Yan Qianghu, who was beside him, focused more on the hot and voluptuous women, his eyes filled with passion and excitement.
The Capri Hotel is the only six-star hotel on Elba Island, located at the southern tip of the island, near the sea.
On the soft sandy ground, a skyscraper nearly two hundred and fifty meters high rose from the ground.
The Capri Hotel is the tallest building on Elba Island and is built by the sea. Its extremely difficult construction has made Capri a landmark of Elba Island.
Led by Boyang, the group checked into the hotel pre-booked by Hong Tiancheng. After the rooms were allocated, Ye Jing couldn't wait any longer and wanted to go out for a stroll.
Zhang Fan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, his wide view encompassing almost the entire Elba Island.
"There are still nearly ten days before the competition begins. Are there any fun places on this island? I'll take them out to relax for a few days," Zhang Fan asked Ailebella.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jing and Yan Qianghu and the others also turned their gaze to Ailebella, full of anticipation.
"The liveliest place on Elba Island at night is naturally the bars in the Puduo district," Ailebella said. Seeing everyone's indifferent reaction, she continued, knowing that Guangtou Qiang and Yi Feicheng had many bars under them and were not particularly impressed by such places.
So she paused and, before anyone could speak, added, "The reason why the bars in the Puduo district are lively is that besides the usual offerings of a bar, each establishment features a deathmatch arena."
"Violence mixed with alcohol makes the atmosphere in the bars of the Puduo district particularly wild, far beyond what the bars under your command can compare to," she said, directing the last sentence at Guangtou Qiang.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Yi Feicheng and Guangtou Qiang were somewhat intrigued and eager to witness it.
Although his subordinate bars also had underground arenas, those were kept out of sight, with entry restrictions. After all, even though their Black Tiger Gang now had Brother Fan's backing, and even some special departments relaxed their supervision, they dared not be too brazen and expose too many ordinary people to the dark side of the underworld, as the impact would be too severe.
But from Ailebella's description, the arenas set up in the bars of the Puduo district were public. Compared to this, it was indeed incomparable to the bars under his command.
"I wonder how strong the gladiators are?" Yi Feicheng asked eagerly upon hearing this.
"The gladiators are fighters recruited by the bar owners from all over the world, including many extraordinary individuals, or martial arts grandmasters from your China."
"Although their strength is not extremely formidable, the tempering in these deathmatch arenas makes them fearless. Once they fight, they go all out. Even some powerful extraordinary individuals who challenge them have been defeated by the weaker ones and killed in the ring."
Ailebella said casually, subtly reminding Yi Feicheng that despite his invincible grandmaster strength, if he were not careful, he might also be killed in the ring.
How could Yi Feicheng not understand the meaning behind Ailebella's words? He waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go and see how powerful this so-called deathmatch arena truly is."
"Let's go," Zhang Fan also smiled and nodded. He wasn't particularly interested in these things, but since he had the opportunity to go out and have fun with his brothers, he naturally wouldn't dampen their spirits.
With Zhang Fan's nod, everyone agreed. Thus, led by Ailebella, the group boarded a stretched Lincoln and headed towards the Puduo district.
