"Oh?" Gambler Ge frowned. He was somewhat displeased by the newcomer's arrogance, but then he recalled the formidable Earth-rank strength that Wei Zhao and Old Sixth Piao had displayed in the private room earlier. A mere peak late-Yellow-rank fighter like himself was no match for such people at all!
And whether it was Wei Zhao or Old Sixth Piao who had come out of that room, he had no ability to contend with either of them. So after a moment's thought, Gambler Ge said, "All right, I'll be right there!"
Within a minute, Gambler Ge appeared before Old Master Pi.
"I'm the boss here. On the streets they call me Gambler Ge. Who's looking for me?" Gambler Ge glanced around and, not seeing Wei Zhao, Old Sixth Piao, or Piao Huotai, felt somewhat less afraid. He looked at Old Master Pi and spoke in an indifferent tone.
"What happened in that private room?" Old Master Pi pointed at the No. 1 Heaven Room not far away and asked.
"And who might you be?" Gambler Ge countered instead.
"You won't say?" Old Master Pi furrowed his brow, irritation stirring in his heart. This boss was far too presumptuous. He casually clenched his fist and threw a punch, shattering a pure copper statue in the corridor into powder! This was the most effective method. Old Master Pi did not know that Gambler Ge was a cultivator, so he could not be bothered to explain things like Heaven-rank fighters or hidden families, because in Old Master Pi's view, Gambler Ge surely knew nothing of such higher-level matters. He was merely a casino boss who had done rather well on the streets!
So Old Master Pi shattered the statue with a single punch, giving Gambler Ge a shock! But a look of dread appeared in Gambler Ge's eyes. He was a cultivator—only a peak late-Yellow-rank one, true—but when Old Master Pi made his move, Gambler Ge could gauge the depth of his strength. Old Master Pi was an early Heaven-rank fighter!
This so frightened Gambler Ge that his legs went weak and he nearly dropped to his knees on the spot. "Senior, this one failed to recognize Mount Tai—so you are an early Heaven-rank fighter! Whatever you wish to ask, just say the word. This Gambler Ge will tell all he knows and withhold nothing..."
"Hmph!" Old Master Pi gave a cold snort, but was rather surprised. "You're a cultivator too?"
"This one is merely a peak late-Yellow-rank fighter..." Gambler Ge cupped his hands and said cautiously.
"Oh. Then come with me and explain clearly what exactly happened in that private room!" Old Master Pi, hearing Gambler Ge say he was also a cultivator, was spared no small amount of trouble. At least he would not have to threaten the man—he would cooperate willingly.
"Yes..." Gambler Ge did not dare show the slightest negligence, nodding again and again, while in his heart he was utterly terrified. His tiny casino had actually drawn such a fighter? A Heaven-rank fighter—if word got out it would scare people to death! These were legendary beings, and he had never imagined he would see one with his own eyes!
Gambler Ge followed Old Master Pi back to the private room, and there he saw a scene that astonished him! Piao Huotai was dead, Old Sixth Piao was dead, and Wei Zhao seemed to be dead as well. So whose side did these people belong to?
Could they be from the Hidden Zhao family? That was it—he had heard that Old Master Zhao of the Hidden Zhao family was a Heaven-rank fighter. It seemed the five people before him were a third party. Gambler Ge breathed a sigh of relief and ventured, "Senior, are you Old Master Zhao of the Hidden Zhao family?"
"You know of the Hidden Zhao family?" Old Master Pi furrowed his brow. "I'm not from the Zhao family, so don't try to curry favor. Tell me everything you know!"
