Chapter 693

"That's good, that's good!"

Fang Jing placed Liu Li on the table, then rushed into the interior of the casino.

He might have remembered the other tasks he had come for today.

Another ten minutes passed, and the entire casino had been searched.

All personnel from Brother Casino were taken away by the City Guard.

Besides these, they also found Liu Zhang and a fresh corpse.

The corpse was carried by the City Guard to the main hall.

Liu Mengyun glanced at the corpse and frowned.

It was a male corpse, appearing very young, around twenty to thirty years old, with slightly long, messy hair.

The corpse had been casually thrown into the flowerbed of Brother Casino's inner courtyard when discovered.

His face was covered in blood and dirt.

"Who among you knows him?"

A beast-tamer frozen in place, shivering, shouted: "Officer, I know him! Can you let me go?"

"Tell me, and I'll let you go."

Liu Mengyun's target had never been these gamblers to begin with.

"In the afternoon, it was this man who cheated at the casino and got arrested… I heard someone say his name was Ji Hongtu!"

"Ji Hongtu? How could it be Ji Hongtu!"

From behind Liu Mengyun, a platinum-level beast-tamer ran forward.

He grabbed the corpse's messy hair, wiped away the dirt and blood on its face, his expression filled with grief.

"Do you know him?"

"He's Ji Fei's son!"

Liu Mengyun asked in confusion: "Who is Ji Fei?"

"My former subordinate, who later died in battle," said the platinum-level beast-tamer, his face solemn. "I saw this boy at the funeral. I personally delivered his first month's pension to his family. I never expected him to die here."

"Deputy Liu, you can't ignore this!"

"Yes! Deputy Liu, the killer must be severely punished!"

"… "

The other soldiers also wore expressions of outrage!

Liu Mengyun raised her hand, signaling them to be quiet.

She spoke in a flat tone: "I understand. I will report this to the City Lord. I'm sure he will give you a proper reply."

To be honest, a few deaths meant nothing to her.

It all depended on Su Yang's wishes.

"Then we rely on you, Deputy Liu!"

Back at the City Lord's mansion, Liu Mengyun reported the results of the operation.

Liu Mengyun had seized over ten million Federal Dollars in gambling funds, two hundred and thirty members of Brother Casino, including over thirty beast-tamers.

Among those beast-tamers, the strongest was no more than gold-level.

Liu Zhang and his daughter had also been rescued.

Liu Mengyun asked: "My lord, how should we handle Ji Hongtu's case? If we don't give a proper reply, the City Guard will be dissatisfied."

"First, send someone skilled in spirit-based techniques to interrogate him. I want a detailed report!"

Since the perpetrator dared to kill casually, force others to bet their daughters, and openly kidnap young girls, he must have committed many wicked deeds in daily life.

In truth, Su Yang only wanted to shut down the casino and deliver it a harsh blow!

But now, with Ji Hongtu's corpse found inside the casino, this matter could no longer be settled simply.

"Yes, my lord!"

Liu Mengyun went out to make arrangements.

Over an hour later, Liu Mengyun pushed open the door and poured tea for Su Yang.

As she poured the tea, she said: "My lord, just now a member of the Treasures Pavilion Hunting Team came by, saying he wanted to see you. I sent him away. I don't know his name, but he was platinum-level."

"Mm, I know," Su Yang nodded. "If it's Liao Yuankai, let me know. For anyone else, forget it."

A platinum-level beast-tamer wouldn't even rank highly in the Treasures Pavilion Hunting Team.

Su Yang knew the man's purpose, but he didn't even want to see such people.

The man who wanted to see Su Yang was named Ye Hong.

He was a core member of the Treasures Pavilion Hunting Team of Mount Dajiao, a platinum-level expert.

In an ordinary city, a platinum-level expert would be formidable—even the city lord would give him face.

But this was Mount Dajiao.

In Mount Dajiao, platinum-level experts were nothing special.

Only star-radiance-level experts might have any real influence.

Ye Hu was now frantic.

Because all members of Brother Casino had been imprisoned in Mount Dajiao Prison.

Including his younger brother, Ye Long.

Brother Casino was run by his younger brother, Ye Long.

The two brothers were extremely lucky—both had awakened beast-tamer talents in succession.

But as the elder brother, Ye Hu had the higher beast-tamer talent, and after passing the assessment, he joined the Treasures Pavilion Hunting Team.

But his younger brother Ye Long disliked living a hard life of cutting throats and risking death.

Ye Long, who did not want to hunt ferocious beasts in the wild and enjoyed gambling in his spare time, struggling with livelihood issues, came up with the idea of opening a casino.

Ye Long was simple enough to convince his brother to support him.

After all, running a casino carried no life-threatening danger and was a highly profitable industry.

In the future, when they grew old and could no longer fight, having a business and a steady income source would not be a bad thing.

Even if their children never awakened the Beast Tamer talent, this business could become their future security!
