Chapter 2378 — The Truth of the Matter
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"This... yes!" Gambler Ge was slightly taken aback. It seemed this man before him truly was not from the Hidden Zhao family, and judging by his tone, he did not seem to hold the Hidden Zhao family in much respect either. So Gambler Ge dared not speculate further and hurriedly recounted everything that had happened here!
In truth, none of this had anything to do with Gambler Ge at all. He had simply invited the Southeast Asian Gambling King, Piao Huotai, to challenge the Hong Kong City Gambling King, Zhu Qishou! The reason was simple: Zhu Qishou had come to his casino before to wreck the place, costing Gambler Ge dearly and slaughtering the consultants in his casino without leaving a single one, leaving him utterly routed. So Gambler Ge had nursed a grudge, and when he happened to hear of Piao Huotai's great name, he invited him to challenge Zhu Qishou!
Piao Huotai wanted to win a young girl's first night through gambling, while Gambler Ge wanted to restore his casino's reputation and take his enemy Zhu Qishou down a peg, so the two hit it off at once! But in the end, theirs was merely a cooperative relationship, with no other ties between them.
And Piao Huotai's opponent this time was a force from the Hidden Zhao family, and that force seemed to have deliberately lost to Piao Huotai, losing Chen Xi to him! Not only that, they had also told Gambler Ge to inform the security on the first and second floors to let Wei Zhao pass through smoothly...
In any case, Gambler Ge did not dare conceal the slightest thing. The man before him was a Heaven-rank fighter—he would even sell out the Hidden Zhao family, and did not dare do otherwise than speak the truth! A cultivator of his level was the lowest of the low; if Old Master Pi wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as turning over his hand.
"Oh? You mean the people from the Hidden Zhao family deliberately intended to lose this little girl to Piao Huotai, and then lure Mr. Lin here to rescue her?" Old Master Pi understood Gambler Ge's meaning.
"Uh... that should be it..." Gambler Ge said cautiously.
"I understand. All right, you may go now. There's nothing more for you here!" Old Master Pi waved his hand and said to Gambler Ge. This matter indeed had little to do with Gambler Ge, so Old Master Pi would not vent his anger on him. He was but a minor figure. The schemer behind all this was the Hidden Zhao family, and everything would have to wait until Wei Zhao woke up and made the judgment.
"Very well, Senior. If you need anything, you can call on me at any time..." Gambler Ge said carefully.
"Mm..." Old Master Pi grunted and paid Gambler Ge no further heed. To his eyes, such a person was no more than an ant. He simply shooed him out so as not to disturb Wei Zhao's healing...
Though Wei Zhao appeared unconscious, he was in fact healing within the jade pendant's space, and could still perceive everything happening outside with perfect clarity. Hearing the conversation between Old Master Pi and Gambler Ge, the hatred in Wei Zhao's heart for the Hidden Zhao family grew several degrees fiercer!
Bi Lao and Zhao Qibing of the Hidden Zhao family had suffered losses at his hands and dared not come at him openly, yet they resorted to such despicable means!
