<strong>Capítulo 1234: Chapter 1246:</strong>


    Zhang Tao’s tone revealed a hint of ruthlessness.


    His gaze at Chu Ge was filled with malice, yet Chu Ge felt as if he was looking through him at someone else.


    Chu Ge had no interest in listening to his stories; he wasn’t interested in his tales.


    Chu Ge gave him a cold nce and turned to leave.


    Suddenly, two rows of ck-d men rushed in through the door, surrounding Chu Ge.


    Chu Ge nced back at him coldly and said, “Your men are no match for me. It would be best not to send them to their deaths.”


    Zhang Tao sneered grimly, “Of course, I know they’re no match for you. I also know that a few of them can’t trap you, but the people outside might, such as Mr. Nangong, Old Master Huangpu, Old Master Yu Wen, and Mr. Gongsun. All the leaders of the Four Great Families are at this banquet.”


    “They’re not as skilled as you in fighting.”


    Zhang Tao spoke as he suddenly had a remote control in his hand and casually pressed it, revealing a screen on the adjoining wall.


    The screen disyed the room of Old Master Nangong and the others.


    On the surface, everything seemed harmonious, with no signs of disturbance, but Chu Ge noticed on a smaller screen that a group of ck-d men was gathering outside the door, ready to rush in at any moment.


    Chu Ge pursed his lips tightly, “You’ve gone to such great lengths just to have me cure your illness?”


    The four old masters hold significant positions in the Capital City. If anything happened to them, the entire city’s economy would be thrown into chaos—this isn’t a joke.


    Zhang Tao took a deep breath and spoke softly to Chu Ge, “Yes, I just want you to cure my illness, it’s that simple.”


    “I’ve never seen anyone go to such lengths to ask for a favor, even using others’ lives as leverage.”


    Chu Ge spoke coldly, refusing to believe that Zhang Tao would actually harm those four old masters.


    Zhang Tao clicked his tongue and shook his head gently, saying, “I, Zhang Tao, never ask anyone for help. A simple and direct approach is the most straightforward.”


    Chu Ge took a step forward slowly, causing the ck-d men surrounding him to instantly tense up and watch him vigntly.


    Chu Ge chuckled slightly, “How am I supposed to treat your boss when you’re all surrounding me like this?”


    Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment, then his lips curled into a smug smile. He raised his hand slowly, causing the ck-d men to retreat to the side.


    “Mr. Chu is willing to treat my illness?”


    As he was speaking, a figure shed before his eyes, and his neck was suddenly gripped by Chu Ge’s tiger-like hand.


    Chu Ge effortlessly lifted Zhang Tao from the sofa, “As I said, I hate being threatened.”


    “Let go of our boss!”


    The ck-d men shouted angrily from behind.


    Chu Ge’s lips curled into a cold smile as he watched Zhang Tao’s face turn red, “How about I take you for a walk to the old masters?”


    Zhang Tao struggled to utter a few words, but he couldn’t string them together as speaking was too difficult.


    Chu Ge didn’t understand what he was saying.


    Chu Ge used True Qi to confine Zhang Tao in his grip, loosening his hold slightly to allow Zhang Tao some air.


    Zhang Tao, finally receiving fresh air, coughed violently and cursed while coughing, “Chu Ge! If you dare harm even a hair on my head, I won’t let you off!”


    As he spoke, Chu Ge tightened his grip again. Zhang Tao struggled to w at Chu Ge’s hand, but no matter how he wed, it was like scratching an itch on Chu Ge—utterly ineffective.


    Zhang Tao’s face turned red as he waved his hands frantically. His remote control had been seized by Chu Ge at some point and tossed aside.


    Chu Ge held Zhang Tao’s life in his grasp. The people behind him dared not act against Chu Ge and could only watch him vigntly.


    “Tell the ck-d men guarding their rooms to retreat!”


    Chu Ge instructed Manager Wang.


    Manager Wang had been hiding outside the door when Chu Ge dealt with Zhang Tao, quietly concealing himself in a corner. Though he was the manager of the gambling stone field, he was clueless about martial arts, so he could only act when the opportunity arose.


    Having witnessed Chu Ge effortlessly subdue Zhang Tao, despite Zhang Tao being able to handle ordinary people despite his chronic illness, he saw Chu Ge lift Zhang Tao from the sofa with a single hand, without any effort.


    Suddenly hearing Chu Ge address him, Manager Wang was startled and stood there dumbfounded, unsure of what to do.


    Chu Ge red at him sharply and barked, “Do as I say, or your boss’s life will be at stake!”


    Zhang Tao’s face had already turned blue and was on the verge of suffocating to death.


    Manager Wang hurriedly nodded, took out his walkie-talkie, and spoke to the other end.


    After speaking, Manager Wang cautiously looked at Chu Ge and asked, “Mr. Chu, I’ve followed your instructions, can you please show mercy?”


    Chu Ge nced at the wall, saw that the ck-d men had retreated, and slowly released Zhang Tao.


    He tossed Zhang Tao directly to the ground. Zhang Tao, receiving fresh air, coughed violently while persistently trying to instruct the surrounding ck-d men to attack Chu Ge.


    Chu Ge’s cold gaze swept around, with his powerful aura preventing them from approaching.


    “Those of you who don’t fear death, go ahead.”


    The voice was as if it came from Hell, chilling to the bone.


    Those people stood their ground without moving.


    Zhang Tao rposed himself, ring fiercely at Chu Ge. Raising his hand, he gathered a mass of ck True Qi in his palm.


    Once it condensed to the size of a ping-pong ball, he prepared to strike Chu Ge with it.


    But the ball stopped before hitting Chu Ge.


    Zhang Tao looked at him in shock, “What’s going on?”


    Chu Ge stood unmoved, simply using his surrounding aura to subdue the ck ball. His eyes narrowed slightly, and the ck ball vanished before him.


    Chu Ge slowly raised his hand, a ball of white True Qi forming in his palm. The white ball grewrger andrger, eventually reaching the size of a basketball, still rolling steadily.


    Zhang Tao was astonished, “You… what stage are you at now?”


    He asked lightly.


    Judging by this, it must be at least thete innate stage, right?


    Chu Ge’s lips curled slightly, “What do you think?”


    “You… are you in thete innate stage?”


    Zhang Tao began to show fear. He was only in the early-stage innate, hindered by blocked meridians from going astray in his practice.


    Chu Ge leisurely raised his hand, his gaze calmly on the ball in his palm, “Oh? A ball this size iste innate stage, huh.”
