In the early morning when his father was arrested, a manila envelope was thrust into his arms.
"Take it. Go out the back door. No matter what you hear, don't look back."
Seventeen-year-old Jiang Ze ran barefoot through three alleys, with police sirens and slamming doors behind him. He didn't know what was in the envelope, but he knew that from this moment on, there were only two things left in his life:
alive.
Revenge.
He Wanlong, his father's sworn brother, the real poisonous snake in the underground world of Binhai City. He killed his mother eight years ago and sent his father to prison eight years later. Now, He Wanlong's people are looking for him all over the city.
Jiang Ze only had a stack of paper, a USB flash drive, and a key in his hand.
And a heart red with hatred.
But what he didn't know was that hidden in that USB drive was not only the evidence of He Wanlong's crime, but also all the secrets of his father over the past twenty years.
Including a name that shakes everything up.
The arena is not about fighting and killing, it is about life and death.
This is not a teenage coming-of-age story.
This is the story of a boy who was forced to turn into a beast.
