"Hao, are you really not going to help Xiang? Although the World Gambling King is indeed skilled, you're not too shabby either," He Xiang said.
"Xiang, I'm just a scholar now. You're asking to challenge the World Gambling King. Isn't that like turning into a well-known figure? How would that affect ?" Ye Hao said, spreading his hands helplessly.
"I know you're a scholar, but your gambling skills are extraordinary. Don't you have any desires in your heart? That's the World Gambling King! Once you defeat him, you'll be admired by thousands, with countless eyes on you. When you need help, just speak up, and people will flock to assist you," He Xiang tried to entice Ye Hao with the desires that many young people had.
But alas, Ye Hao wasn't an ordinary young man. No matter what you said, he could calmly remain unaffected and not give the slightest response.
"Xiang, there's no need for all this. I'm just a scholar. What's the point of all that attention?" Ye Hao waved his hand.
"Ah! Are you really not considering helping Xiang?" He Xiang feigned a sigh, her captivating deanor causing Xu Shaoyuan and Dongfang Xuri and others to feel deeply entranced by her gaze.
Actually, Ye Hao genuinely wanted to help He Xiang, but since she hadn't ntioned any reward for her help and there wasn't any significant connection between them, Ye Hao wasn't inclined to assist her.
After all, helping her would an offending the World Gambling King Habs Miman. It's no joke. With Habs Miman having been the World Gambling King for so many years, he naturally had many capable people under him. If he won, he might send waves of assassins to attack, causing endless trouble.
"Haha, Xiang, I'm truly unable to assist. The fact is, the Hao Family's business is not doing well recently, and there are too many things to handle. If it weren't for no flights to the mainland tonight, I'd really want to rush back now," Ye Hao chuckled. However, when he said this, he subtly hinted at the Hao Family's business troubles, with intentions that were self-evident.
He Xiang pondered upon hearing this. She was an old hand at this ga, having lived for decades. Although Ye Hao spoke cryptically, she grasped a bit of his aning. So she nodded and smiled, "Then let's put this aside for today, Xiang?"
"Haha, that's better. Co, Xiang, have a drink." Ye Hao raised his glass, putting on the appearance of a happy collaboration, although they hadn't discussed anything useful from the beginning.
Both He Xiang and Xu Shaoyuan and others raised their glasses together.
It was nearly midnight when Ye Hao finally left Shang Dao Coffee with Dongfang Xuri and the others.
At midnight in Macau, the revelry was at its peak, while Ye Hao led his group back to the hotel planning to rest.
...
In another villa, an elderly man in his eighties, with a cold expression, looked at the eight people in front of him.
These eight individuals were disciples of the elderly man in his eighties, each with a skill level above ten segnts of National Martial Arts, with two even reaching twelve segnts.
"Luo Da, Luo Er, Luo San, Luo Si... Luo Ba, today is the ti for your test as a disciple," the elderly man said, his gaze shining as he looked at the eight disciples before him.
This old man was none other than Luo Tian, a superb expert accompanying the Gambling King He Miao. After escorting He Miao back to the estate, he claid to have so business to handle and summoned his eight disciples.
"Master, what's the test for us?" Luo Da asked. Luo Da was Luo Tian's prized eldest disciple, currently with a twelve-segnt skill in National Martial Arts, and could enter the Innate Realm at any mont. However, he was not very confident about breaking into the Innate Realm and therefore hesitated to try crossing that threshold.
"I despise an arrogant kid, and I want you all to go and eliminate him for ," Luo Tian said with a cold expression, recalling his grandson, Luo Yifan.
Luo Yifan, the famous young master of Luoyang City, but due to his excessive indulgence, was crippled by Ye Hao.
Luo Tian was Luo Yifan's grandfather, and today he wanted to kill Ye Hao as revenge for his grandson.
In the past, when he wasn't always on the mainland, he overlooked the Luo family's matters. Now, seeing the enemy present before him, how could he allow Ye Hao to continue living happily?
"An annoying kid? Who is it?" Luo Er asked. He too was a twelve-segnt practitioner but had been at that level for a shorter ti.
Their thoughts raced as to who could have offended their master to incite such wrath.
"The details are here. I heard he has a high-status identity in the mainland. Make sure to complete the task cleanly and don't make a ss," Luo Tian said, tossing Ye Hao's dossier.
Luo Da took the dossier and began to read.
Everyone was curious, looking over to see what kind of person had dared offend their master.
Ye Hao, a guest businessman from Huaxia, the hidden leader of the Hao Family, aged twenty-two, residing in Yanjing...
After reading the public information, Luo Da looked at Luo Tian and asked, "Master, this kid doesn't seem to have anything special. Why kill him?"
"I told you to kill him, so just do it. No more questions," Luo Tian snorted coldly.
"Understood!"
The group planned to leave upon receiving the order.
But at that mont, Luo Tian said, "Right, don't kill the few young ones around him."
"Why?" Everyone was puzzled. Only targeting Ye Hao but sparing those around him? It wasn't like their master, who usually favored complete eradication.
"Their identities are special. Don't make a ss for ," Luo Tian snorted coldly.
He wanted to eliminate those around Ye Hao too, but their backgrounds were too unique, leaving him no opportunity to act.
If he did kill Xu Shaoyuan and others, Macau would surely be in an uproar, possibly leading to the closure and rectification of casinos, and perhaps never reopening.
"Understood," they replied, understanding that while they were not ordinary due to their martial arts skills, there were individuals even they couldn't confront.
"Go!" Luo Tian waved dismissively.
With orders in hand, they proceeded to await Ye Hao along his route.
After everyone left, Luo Tian sneered coldly, "Fool, there's a path to heaven that you refuse to take, and no gate to hell that you insist on breaking into. Well, let King Yama deal with you then!"
The events here remained known only to the nine individuals present, while Ye Hao was currently strolling along Pujing road with Xu Shaoyuan.
After walking for a while, Ye Hao suddenly paused... (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, you are welco to visit Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.)
