<h4>Chapter 760: Chapter 762: Let’s Spar a Bit</h4>


    Chu Ge’s words left Yuwen Kangli speechless, and even the surrounding people looked at them curiously.


    It was clear from Chu Ge’s tone that there was something between these two men.


    Yuwen Kangli looked at Chu Ge without politeness, simply dropping the pretense, and coldly sneered, "Chu Ge, I apologize for not winning against you previously. Do you dare to gamble with me one more time?"


    Chu Ge raised an eyebrow curiously, looking at him, "Are you suggesting now? Right here?"


    "Exactly!"


    Yuwen Kangli hummed with disdain, "If you lose, you will return the ten percent of the shares you took from me."


    Chu Ge gently shook his head.


    Yuwen Kangli immediately became angry, "What, you don’t dare? Humph, I didn’t expect you to be such a coward!"


    Chu Ge chuckled lightly and said, "You’re thinking too much. It’s just that this is my turf. If we gamble here and you lose, it wouldn’t look good for me. What if you go around saying that I cheated? Could I still run my business?"


    Yuwen Kangli’s eyes filled with anger, "Since you don’t want to gamble here, let’s go somewhere else."


    Chu Ge shook his head again, "Nowadays, who in Kyoto doesn’t know that I, Chu Ge, have opened a gambling stone field in this old district? It wouldn’t make sense for me to go gambling on someone else’s turf and take care of their business. I don’t have time for that."


    Yuwen Kangli was infuriated by Chu Ge’s logic, clearly just unwilling to gamble with him!


    "Chu Ge, are you afraid of losing? Is that why you don’t dare to gamble with me?"


    Yuwen Kangli hummed disdainfully.


    Chu Ge’s expression remained calm, his deep eyes flickering mysteriously. Yuwen Kangli couldn’t understand what he was thinking, but he was determined to reim his shares.


    "Chu Ge, are you going to gamble or not?"


    Chu Ge gently shook his head, "I won’t bet. I have no interest in gambling stones right now."


    "Hmph, I think you’re just afraid of losing, afraid it will damage your pride?" said Yuwen Kangli smugly.


    Chu Geughed, "Say whatever you want, but I won’t be betting. If you want to continue, please do. If you don’t want to gamble, suit yourself."


    Finishing his words, Chu Ge walked toward the front desk.


    Seeing this, Yuwen Kangli was about to step forward and follow him, but Lin Dong and Lin Zhao stopped him.


    Although Yuwen Kangli was a big shot in Kyoto, now on their turf and clearly up to no good, they were naturally not going to be polite.


    Yuwen Kangli saw the two stopping him and his rage grew, "You two, get out of my way!"


    Lin Dong and Lin Zhao were unmoved.


    "Don’t you know who I am? Aren’t you afraid of offending me and being unable to survive in Kyoto?"


    Yuwen Kangli blustered angrily, ring at the two standing in his way.


    Lin Zhao hesitated somewhat, since his father’s death, he started to consider the consequences of everything.


    The person standing in front of him was Yuwen Kangli, the future heir of the Yuwen Family, one of the Six Major Families of Kyoto. Crushing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.


    This made him feel a bit more timid in his heart.


    However, Lin Dong standing by his side was different. Even though the person standing by his side was a distinguished figure, Chu Ge was more convincing than the distinguished figure.


    From deep within, Lin Dong held immense admiration for Chu Ge, and he also knew that Chu Ge would absolutely not just watch them being bullied by Yuwen Kangli.


    Over this period of getting to know each other, Lin Dong found that Chu Ge was a person who really looked out for his own, which could be seen from how he treated Gu Tong.


    What Lin Dong did not expect, however, was just as he thought Chu Ge would stand out, he heard a disdainful sneering from behind him.


    Gu Tong looked down on Yuwen Kangli with contempt and said, "He is just a parasite relying on his family’s power, and he really thinks he is some superior figure? If you want to gamble on stones, go ahead, if not, do as you wish. Just now, Mr. Chu was very clear; if you want to continue causing trouble here, don’t me me for being impolite."


    Saying this, Gu Tong began to stretch his muscles. He shook his neck – having been working at the Gambling Stone Field these past few days, he hadn’t practiced his martial arts for several days. There was now a ready-made human target; it would be a waste not to use him.


    Gu Tong emitted a terrifying aura, causing Yuwen Kangli to inexplicably feel a chill.


    Chu Ge slightly narrowed his eyes, quietly observing Gu Tong. As someone who practiced martial arts, he could immediately tell that Gu Tong knew martial arts.


    What surprised Chu Ge, however, was that he had never noticed it before?


    Thinking it over, it only meant one thing: Gu Tong had intentionally concealed his true strength. But what was his purpose for doing so?


    Chu Ge was somewhat puzzled.


    What puzzled him even more was that Uncle Liu had introduced him, but never mentioned that this person knew martial arts. On reflection, who was Uncle Liu? He was an expert among experts in the world of martial arts, an Immortal-level figure.


    Even if his rtive knew some martial arts, that wouldn’t be too surprising, right?


    Chu Ge did not think further; he raised his eyes and quietly observed, wanting to see how Gu Tong would handle the situation.


    Lin Dong had not expected Gu Tong to stand up, and he too felt that terrifying power emanating from Gu Tong.


    It surprised him greatly—so Gu Tong was also an Ancient Martial Artist.


    But over these days, he had not shown any signs of it; Lin Dong had thought that Gu Tong was just a regr rtive of Uncle Liu.


    Yuwen Kangli swallowed nervously, hesitantly asking, "And who are you?"


    "Who I am is not important. What matters is whether you continue to create trouble here now or gamble on stones? Or perhaps..."


    Gu Tong spoke in a hauntingly cold tone.


    Yuwen Kangli was very afraid in his heart, but he tried hard to maintain a calm facade because nearly everyone around him knew who he was, and they all knew Yuwen Kangli’s identity. If he backed down now, and the word spread, would Yuwen Kangli want to continue mixing in Shanghai?


    Yuwen Kangli’s mind raced, thinking about what to do next. He thought for a long time, and the best solution was for him to leave this ce.


    Knowing the times is a mark of excellence; if he continued staying here, only more rumors would arise.


    Thinking this, Yuwen Kangli spoke up, "Since Mr. Chu doesn’t want to gamble, let’s leave it at that, I have other matters, I will take my leave first."


    After Yuwen Kangli finished speaking, he turned around and left.


    Lin Dong walked up with a grin, hooked his arm over Yuwen Kangli’s shoulder, and said to him, "Not bad, Gu Tong. I never saw iting; turns out you’ve got some skills. How about we spar sometime?"
