<h4>Chapter 834: Chapter 836: My Name</h4>
Lin Dong furrowed his brows, recalling carefully that moment of relief, Chu Ge had gone straight to the conference room upon returning.
"Butter, ording to Elder Jian and Mr. Chu’s judgment, the murderer was not those people Mr. Chu pursued, but another group of Shadow Assassins."
Thinking of those Shadow Assassins, Lin Dong couldn’t help but tighten his fists and hammered them onto the table.
The teacup on the table trembled thrice due to his actions, "I better not run into those bastards! If I do, I’ll make sure they regret it!"
"Why did they kill Elder Jian’s favorite disciple?"
This was what Nangong Man Sha couldn’t understand.
Although Jian Chunqiu was an Ancient Martial Artist, he held high prestige in the world of martial arts, rarely making enemies, and his underlings’ character shouldn’t becking. However, such a person met an untimely death, falling victim to those people’s Poison Hand.
Lin Dong shook his head; he wasn’t very clear on the specific reason, but he guessed it was definitely those people intending to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, knowing Sword Pavilion’s high prestige in the world of martial arts, so they specifically chose the pavilion’s disciple.
Thinking of this, Lin Dong became even more furious.
"So Elder Jian’s mood is not good now?"
Nangong Man Sha realized after speaking that her question was redundant; indeed, with his favorite disciple dying so unjustly, how could his mood be good?
Lin Dong sighed, "My master is alone in the upstairs conference room, and Mr. Chu has instructed us not to disturb him no matter how important it is."
Nangong Man Sha nodded in understanding, "I understand."
Lin Dong felt down for a while, and then curiously looked at Nangong Man Sha, "Miss Man Sha, why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Nangong Man Sha shook her head and said, "Actually, I came to see Elder Jian, but Mr. Chu told me not to bother him, so I wondered if something happened, but Mr. Chu didn’t want to tell me, so I thought of you, the Information Gatherer."
Lin Dong scratched his head a bit embarrassed, "I’m about to retire as the Information Gatherer."
Liu Yue was at the pharmacy and did not know what happened at the Gambling Stone Field. But after hearing Lin Dong mention it, she was a bit afraid and asked, "Lin Dong, are you saying someone died over at the Gambling Stone Field?"
Lin Dong shook his head, "Sister Liu Yue, don’t worry, the person didn’t die inside our field; someone killed Zhang Cheng and sent the corpse over!"
Liu Yue exhaled and nodded, still somewhat scared; it was a dead person, after all, thrown directly into their shop, which was very ominous.
Nangong Man Sha remained silent, but her heart was filled with worry.
She suddenly wondered whether hosting this summit was right or wrong.
Initially, when the Nangong Family took over hosting this summit, the purpose was quite simple: to win over some martial arts factions.
Because for long-term nning, maintaining good rtions with martial arts factions would bring considerable benefits.
Now, although the Six Major Families of the Capital City seem harmonious and calm on the surface, behind the scenes, none of them are idle.
They’re all plotting little schemes to enhance and expand their family’s power.
She knew that within the Six Major Families of Kyoto, someone must have already established rtions with a particr martial arts faction.
Thus, Nangong Man Sha and Lin Dong sat together, each wrapped in their own thoughts, in silence for a while until Lin Dong’s phone rang. It was Lin Zhao calling.
He answered, "Lin Zhao, what’s up?"
"Where are youzing around, kid?" Lin Zhao’s anxious voice came through.
Lin Dong stood up, puzzled and asked, "I’m at the pharmacy, did something happen at the Gambling Stone Field?"

Lin Zhao nodded, "Yes, an unwee guest arrived."
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong quickly hung up the phone, turned to Nangong Man Sha and said, "Miss Man Sha, there’s a bit of trouble at the Gambling Stone Field, I have to go back."
He then hurried away.
Nangong Man Sha also stood up curiously, following him.
Liu Yue actually wanted to take a look too, but she had to keep watch over the pharmacy, so she could only stay here.
At this time, many people had gathered inside the Gambling Stone Field.
The customers surrounded a few men in kimonos in the center, each showing displeasure on their faces.
"We don’t wee dog-days here!" an unidentified person shouted from the crowd.
The others echoed, "That’s right! We don’t wee dog-days here! You better leave at once! Otherwise, we won’t be polite to you!"
Among those surrounded, was a young man not appearing to be older than his early twenties. His eyes revealed untouched arrogance and mockery.
"It’s said that Huaxia is a country of etiquette, but thus far what I see is truly vulgar; apparently, those external rumors might not be true."
The speaker was Zhang Ze, who had heard of a gifted young talent in Ancient Martial Arts, like himself, one who had bypassed the Realm of Innate Grandmaster while still young. Although he didn’t quite understand what Innate Grandmaster was, seeking powerful opponents for PK was something he did daily.
Knowing such a figure existed, he would not pass up the opportunity.
Though today, he was not here to challenge Chu Ge; the adage goes, know oneself and know the enemy, a hundred battles will bring victory. He was here to test the waters.
"I came to see the owner of this Gambling Stone Field, wondering whether the owner is present."
Though wearing a kimono, Zhang Ze’s Chinese was impressively good enough to make one think he was Huaxia people if not for his attire.
Chu Ge emerged from the crowd, hands in his pockets, scanning Zhang Ze intently, "I’m the owner of this Gambling Stone Field. What do you want from me?"
Zhang Ze’s eyes lit up upon seeing Chu Ge; this person was clearly different from those he’d fought before. There was an aura of an advanced being—one belonging to a strong person—which piqued Zhang Ze’spetitive nature lying dormant within.
Zhang Ze felt his blood start to boil intensely, "So, the rumors aren’t wrong; you’re a young fellow, running such arge Gambling Stone Field, your power must be considerable indeed."
Chu Ge subtly curled his lips, though upon closer inspection, there was no hint of a smile there—he currently did not hold any good feelings towards those wearing kimonos!
"May I ask who you are?" Chu Ge asked with a nk expression.
He skillfully concealed his loathing for the person within.
"Zhang Ze."
Zhang Ze smiled faintly, "I suppose you’ve heard of me before."
