<h4>Chapter 837: Chapter 839: Provocation at the Door</h4>
Zhang Ze was taken aback. He looked at the person with confusion, "Nangong Man Sha of the Nangong Family? Who’s that?"
The person looked up speechlessly, understanding that Zhang Ze came from outside and was naturally unaware of the situation in the Capital City.
"Young Master Zhang, the Nangong Family is the leader of the Six Major Families of Kyoto. They have a daughter who is particrly famous in the Capital City. She is a renowned socialite and the dream woman of many men."
The person repeated himself, giving an awkward smile, "Miss Man Sha walks among various men, so it’s predictable that she can see through Young Master Zhang’s intentions, and there’s no need to mind it."
His words made Zhang Ze’s face even darker.
Zhang Ze red at him with displeasure, "What do you mean by that? Are you suggesting that I would be afraid of a woman?"
Seeing Zhang Ze’s terrifying expression, the person became a bit fearful. He awkwardly smiled and rushed to exin, "I didn’t mean it like that, Young Master Zhang, don’t take it to heart. I’m not saying you’re afraid of a woman. I just... ow ow ow ow ow..."
The man eximed in pain as his wrist was fiercely gripped by Zhang Ze, as if it could snap in the next instant.
"Young Master Zhang, spare me! Young Master Zhang, I didn’t mean it like that, really, I didn’t mean it! Please spare me..."
The man grimaced in pain, beads of sweat forming on his forehead, but Zhang Ze’s gaze was filled with a vicious and dangerous light, as if he was venting all the grievances from the Gambling Stone Field on this person.
Until someone came forward to persuade him, saying, "Young Master Zhang, what’s the use of venting all your anger on your own people? Nangong Man Sha has already seen through our intentions."
Zhang Ze’s expression softened a bit as he pondered for a moment, but the strength in his hand did not diminish.
The person who stepped forward to persuade him spoke again, "Since they’ve already seen through your objectives, why not seek other methods? Everything we are doing now is mainly to achieve the final goal, not for your personalpetitiveness."
The one gripped by Zhang Ze had turned pale, but he realized that the speaker clearly had a certain status, allowing him to dare speak to Zhang Ze this way. He pinned all his hopes on this person, though he couldn’t recall his name after thinking for a long time.
He wasn’t part of their group from the start; he was brought in by Zhang Ze midway to guide them. To Zhang Ze, he was merely a pawn, not worthy of sympathy or pity.
But remembering what that person said, Zhang Ze finally released his hand slowly, "Humph, there’s no ce for you here anymore. Get lost!"
Rubbing his wrist, the person hurriedly took off, ignoring the pain, scrambling away after Zhang Ze ordered him to leave.
He worried that if he stayed any longer, his life would be at risk.
The remaining few people got into a ck business vehicle; Zhang Ze entered the car still feeling stifled, his face not looking good.
"Young Master Zhang, our priority now is to find alternative ways to gather information on Chu Ge."
Zhang Ze snorted disdainfully, "I know that, do I really need you to teach me?"
The person smiled without minding Zhang Ze’s rudeness, continuing to ask, "Have you thought of a method then?"
Zhang Ze sneered, "The Shadow Assassins I sent before have already made contact with the people here, haven’t they? Go find them and ask what they understand about Chu Ge, since you want to know about a person."
"But those people are enemies of Chu Ge; would they really know about Chu Ge? Besides, shouldn’t we start with people around Chu Ge? Usually, to understand someone, isn’t it better to start with those close to them?"
Zhang Ze gave him a contemptuous nce and sneered, "What do you know? To understand a person, start with their enemies. They fight against each other, they must know each other’s weaknesses very well. If you approach those close to him, what will you learn besides their strengths?"
The person said nothing, as he suddenly thought Zhang Ze’s words made some sense.
The person nodded, "Okay then, I’ll contact them. But I’ve heard they’ve joined forces with the ck Witch Sect of Ancient Martial Arts, and with the summit imminent, we don’t know their ns. It’s just the right time to ask, so we can coordinate inside and out."
The person’s words didn’t fully catch Zhang Ze’s attention. He only cared about dealing with Chu Ge; today’s events were a huge humiliation in his life.
The business vehicle quickly disappeared down the street, and the Gambling Stone Field regained its bustle.
However, the topic of conversation was no longer about gambling stones, but the incidents that happened consecutively today.
First, there was a fatal incident; now someone came to provoke them. This Gambling Stone Field really isn’t operating smoothly.
Even Chu Ge couldn’t help but sigh; he sat at the front desk and mumbled, "Indeed, a novice isn’t cut out for business. Handling these matters is just exhausting."
Lin Dong grumbled in displeasure, "Mr. Chu, with your capabilities, dealing with them should be easy. Why wouldn’t you teach them a lesson despite their repeated provocations?"
He was fuming with anger, yet Chu Ge seemed indifferent, calm as usual.
Chu Ge chuckled, "How would you want me to teach him? He’s just trying to use words to provoke me into action; if I do, wouldn’t I fall into his trap?"
Lin Dong paused, scratching his head in confusion, "What trap?"
Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian, along with Nangong Man Sha, allughed while Lin Zhao lifted his hand to knock on Lin Dong’s head. He told Lin Dong, "Are you stupid? Miss Man Sha already analyzed it before, didn’t she? This Zhang Ze is just here to probe because he fears not understanding Mr. Chu, worried he’s not a match for Mr. Chu. Now that Mr. Chu remains inactive, not epting the challenge, in the end, who will feel uneasy? Naturally, it’ll be Zhang Ze."
Lin Zhao looked at Lin Dong, full of frustration at hisck of progress; this guy usually seemed sharp, yet why was he bing so dense at critical moments?
Lin Dong stared at Lin Zhao for a while before he finally got the point.
He pped his forehead, "Right, damn! I’ve been friggin’ muddled by anger!"
"Alright, it’s been a hectic day, let’s not overthink it anymore. Clean up after a while; let’s finish early today."
Due to the fatal incident earlier, part of the clientele had already left the Gambling Stone Field. Those who remained didn’t say much, as Zhang Ze’s antics dampened their mood to continue ying.
After chatting in the Gambling Stone Field for a bit, they gradually left one by one.
