515 Another Pillar of the Dragon Kingdom
Lu Benwei swallowed his saliva and said, “Old b*stard, don’t tell me you cheated? Also, tell me honestly, what’s with the injury on your face?”
The old beggar’s face immediately turned red, and his eyes kept dodging. “The wound on my face was caused by a dog. Then, I fell to the ground and hit it.”
Lu Benwei knew that something was wrong and slapped his thigh. “Could it be a dog from the casino?”
“I think so” The old beggar lost his confidence and snorted softly.
“You old b*stard!”
Lu Benwei was a little angry. His relationship with the old beggar could only be considered a chance meeting. The old beggar had even tricked Lu Benwei many times. Lu Benwei let bygones be bygones and treated the old beggar like an elder in his family. Now, the old beggar had tricked Lu Benwei again.
The reason why he came to Ha City was to find the Nascent Soul Fruit that cultivated the seventh tribulation of the Nine Tribulations Regeneration Technique. Then, he would go to the ice field to find the Polar Ice Lotus Seed.
Now, the old beggar had provoked the casino, and an underground industry was involved. He was almost wanted by the entire city.
The old beggar found Lu Benwei again and dragged him into the water without anyone knowing.
Lu Benwei said angrily, “Alright, now you’ve dragged me into this. After I help you deal with those casino people, let’s go our separate ways.”
The old beggar knew that what he was doing was immoral, so he lowered his head.
“I really admire you.” Lu Benwei rolled his eyes. “If I owe you everything from my previous life, I’ll pay you back now!”
As soon as Lu Benwei finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Looking at the time, it was one in the morning. It was either anti-pornography or the casino. Of course, the latter was more likely.
Startled, the old beggar grabbed Lu Benwei’s wrist. “Kid, what should we do now?”
At this moment, a fierce voice came from outside the door.
“Brother Dao, I’ve already asked the hotel. That old man is hiding here. Meanwhile, there’s someone else in this room.”
The man named Brother Dao said in a rough voice, “That’s the old man’s accomplice! No matter who it is, they cheated on us. Let’s chop off their hands.”
The old beggar’s palms were sweating as he grabbed Lu Benwei’s arm. His legs kept trembling.
“No way. You’ve already entered the Three Mountains Secret Realm. Why would you be afraid of a few small fries?”
“You don’t understand!” historical
The old beggar could not stop shivering.
Lu Benwei became interested and said, “Oh, is this Brother Dao very powerful?”
“It’s not that this Brother Dao is powerful. It’s because the boss behind Brother Dao, Gao Shengqiang, is powerful!”
The old beggar shook his head. “There’s a saying in Ha City. If a dollar falls from the sky in Ha City, it has to be someone with the surname Gao. Not to mention cutting off one of your fingers, even if I were to cut you into pieces, I wouldn’t even blink.”
“So powerful?” Lu Benwei muttered.
Suddenly, he thought of a problem and asked, “But most of these underworld members are low-level social hunters. They’ve been wreaking havoc in Ha City for so many years. Hasn’t a master from Ha City killed them?”
“I told you that you don’t understand!”
The old beggar was a little anxious.
“The hustle and bustle of the world are all for profit. As long as you want to survive in Ha City, you have to please the Gao family. If we really encounter those people with a strong sense of justice and want to destroy the Gao family, Gao Shengqiang will send his backer. Gao Shengtang, one of the pillars of the Dragon Kingdom!”
Hearing this, Lu Benwei’s pupils constricted. “Gao Shengtang also has the surname Gao Could it be that the two of them are brothers?”
“Boom!”
There was a loud bang against the door. Indentations appeared on the wooden door.
The old beggar was scared out of his wits and quickly moved a table to block the door. Then, he hurriedly ran to the window, wanting to escape through it.
“Boom!”
The second knock on the door sounded again.
Many customers were woken up. One by one, they stuck their heads out and started cursing.
“You’re so noisy. Can’t you let me sleep in the middle of the night?”
“Why aren’t you sleeping in the middle of the night? Are you here to collect debts?”
However, when they saw a group of arrogant and domineering men at the end of the corridor, they immediately shut their mouths.
“Continue!”
The hooligan who was in charge of knocking on the door knocked a few more times, but the door was still indifferent. “Brother Dao, this door is blocked by them.”
In the crowd, a man had his hands in his pockets.
This person was Brother Dao.
“Do I need you to say that? Do you think I can’t tell?” Brother Dao said excitedly.
Then, he gave the hooligan a tight slap.
“Continue smashing. This is a tall building. They can’t escape.”
Inside the room, Lu Benwei pulled the old beggar who was about to jump out of the window.
“Old b*stard, this is the twelfth floor. You want to jump?”
The old beggar was stunned and fell to the ground.
Lu Benwei kicked the old beggar. “Old b*stard, according to you, this national pillar Gao Shengtang is Gao Shengqiang’s protective umbrella?”
The old beggar looked up at Lu Benwei. “What else could it be?”
Lu Benwei smiled faintly and said, “In that case, I have another reason to stay in Ha City.”
The old beggar was stunned and sat up from the ground with a whoosh.
“What do you want? “You’re not going to deal with the Gao family, are you?”
...
Lu Benwei ignored him and walked straight to the door.
“Boom!”
The wooden door was very sturdy. A few people came down one after another, but it was still firm.
“Brother Dao, if you ask me, let’s let our brothers go back and get the door-breaking tools!”
Lu Benwei, who was behind the door, heard everything clearly.
“There’s a door-breaking tool. Looks like you’ve done this kind of business a lot!”
With that, he placed his hand on the doorknob and gently twisted it. The door quietly opened. The old man knew something was wrong and scrambled to the corner behind the curtains.
Lu Benwei yawned. “What’s wrong, brothers? Why didn’t you sleep in the middle of the night? Why did you smash my door?”
Lu Benwei looked straight at Brother Dao, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently revealed a teasing smile.
Seeing this, the gangster under Brother Dao put his hand on Lu Benwei’s shoulder.
“Kid, your accent doesn’t sound like you’re from the three northern provinces. Where are you from?”
...
Lu Benwei did not answer him directly. Instead, he said coldly, “Take your dirty hands away!”
Instantly, the hooligans outside the door heard this and smiled noncommittally.
“As expected, you’re from out of town. You don’t understand the rules here.”
One of the hooligans pulled out a woodcutter and took out a photo with his other hand.
“Do you know this old man?”
Lu Benwei glanced at the old beggar in the photo.
“I do. Why?”
