Chapter 79

"Third Master, it's not good."

In the middle of the Stone City, in a grand building, a shrewd man rushed into a side hall.

In the hall, a man over fifty sat, holding a seductive woman in his arms, his head lowered as he rubbed against her. As the man rushed in, his face instantly turned angry, and he shouted, "Huang San, if you can't give me a reason good enough to disturb me at this moment, be prepared to receive punishment!"

"Third Master, we just found a betting slip, a thirty-three thousand mystic coin betting slip."

Huang San said to the old man, his eyes glancing at the seductive woman in the old man's arms, his gaze burning with desire. However, under the old man's reprimand, his body trembled, and he quickly retracted his gaze.

"What's so special about a thirty-three thousand mystic coin betting slip? How big of a deal is it?" the old man said darkly.

"Third Master, that slip bet on Bai Mei of the Bai family, thirty-three thousand mystic coins. This time, all the profits we made won't be enough to cover the loss."

Huang San's face turned mournful. Who would have thought that Bai Mei of the Bai family, with such strength, would end up in the top four? And they had accepted a bet of tens of thousands of mystic coins. Thinking of the odds for Bai Mei, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Hearing Huang San's words, the old man's face changed drastically. He stood up abruptly, almost knocking the seductive woman off his lap, and said urgently, "Have you found out who placed the bet? Find out quickly!"

"We've already found out. I took the bet myself, and because it was for Bai Mei of the Bai family, I remember it very clearly. It was a person wearing a hood, whose face couldn't be seen. But from the voice, the person should be quite young," Huang San said confidently.

"A young voice, wearing a hood, has the person come to claim the prize yet?"

The old man asked darkly, a cold light flashing in his eyes, his thoughts unknown.

"Not yet. We just found out about this betting slip," Huang San replied.

"Not yet, so it's probably not someone from Stone City. Don't blame us for being impolite."

The old man raised his head, a cold light flickering in his eyes as he looked at Huang San and made a throat-slitting gesture, saying, "You know what to do, right? When that person comes to claim the prize, just..."

"Third Master, I know what to do. I'll handle it cleanly, leaving no traces."

Huang San, who seemed to have done this before, nodded, glanced at the seductive woman one last time, and then left the side hall reluctantly.

The next morning, the first rays of dawn illuminated the earth, bringing it to life.

"Phew!"

Du Shaofu exhaled a breath, stretched his legs, and his joints cracked, as if filled with boundless energy.

"Tomorrow I have to go to the Ye family's Thunder Pool for cultivation. I need to collect the winnings today."

Du Shaofu got up, a smile on his face. After washing up, he left the Du family.

Bao Lai Trading Company, a well-known business in Stone City, was also a betting point for the grand event among the young generations of the five major families.

As the morning sun rose slowly over Stone City, a figure in a purple robe, wearing a hood, appeared outside Bao Lai Trading Company. He looked up at the sign and then stepped into the company.

As this person entered, many eyes in the company began to flicker.

"Claim the betting slip." The purple-robed figure placed a betting slip on the counter and looked at the shrewd middle-aged man standing behind it.

Taking the betting slip from the counter, Huang San's eyes flickered imperceptibly. He then took the slip and said, "Congratulations, sir. The odds on this betting slip are very high. Please follow me to the inner courtyard to claim your prize."

"Alright."

The purple-robed figure nodded and followed Huang San to the inner courtyard.

"Quick, close the door."

As the purple-robed figure entered the inner courtyard, several figures rushed out and closed the main door, their eyes filled with malice.

"Sir, are you not from Stone City?"

In the inner courtyard, which was not too narrow, Huang San suddenly turned around and smiled at the hooded figure behind him.

"Does that matter for claiming the betting slip? I bet thirty-three thousand mystic coins on Bai Mei of the Bai family, who ended up in the top four. According to the odds, it should be 160 times, so the total is 5,280,000 mystic coins. Give me the prize quickly, I have things to do." The voice from under the hood was indeed very young.

Hearing the large sum, Huang San's face twitched.

Who would have thought that Bai Mei of the Bai family, with her cultivation level, could make it to the top four? It was almost unbelievable. It was said that Bai Mei had a close relationship with Du Shaofu of the Du family and was protected by him, which allowed her to enter the top four.

Thinking of this, Huang San wished he could destroy Du Shaofu of the Du family. If not for Du Shaofu, Bao Lai Trading Company wouldn't have suffered such a heavy loss.

However, Huang San knew his limits. Not only was his strength not enough to deal with Du Shaofu, but Du Shaofu was also a member of the Du family, which Bao Lai Trading Company couldn't afford to offend. Even the Tian Ling Hunter Team, which backed Bao Lai Trading Company, couldn't afford to offend the Du family.

"What betting slip? I don't understand what you're saying."

Huang San's face returned to normal, and a cold smile appeared in his eyes. He couldn't do anything to Du Shaofu, but he wasn't afraid of the person in front of him. This wasn't the first time he had done such a thing. Back when he was in the Tian Ling Hunter Team, he had killed many people and beasts.

The purple-robed figure under the hood raised his head, and Huang San could feel two sharp, intimidating eyes from under the hood.

"Do you mean you're not going to pay out? I'll give you one last chance. Don't make yourself regret it," the voice from under the hood became colder.

"Ha ha, regret? In Stone City, besides the five major families, who are we afraid of?"

Huang San laughed. In Stone City, besides the five major families, who were they afraid of? Moreover, even among the five major families, they had their own backing. Otherwise, how could Bao Lai Trading Company stand in a city controlled by the five major families?

His laughter subsided, and the coldness in Huang San's eyes was no longer hidden. He waved his hand and said, "Attack!"

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

As Huang San spoke, at least twenty figures leaped out from various corners of the courtyard, all with murderous intent, forming a semicircle around the purple-robed figure.
