Chapter 694: Ye Hu and Ye Long, the Two Brothers! Go Ask My Lord Liao!

But Ye Hu never expected that, after running the casino smoothly, this return would find the entire casino shut down by the City Guard!

Ye Hu didn't yet know how his younger brother had offended the City Guard.

"My lord Ye, how did it go?"

As Ye Hu stepped out of the Magistrate's mansion, a Beast Tamer rushed up to ask him.

This Beast Tamer was also one of the Brothers Casino's men.

He was lucky—he had taken the day off to go home, and when he came to work that night, he happened to see the City Guard storm into the Brothers Casino.

He hid among the crowd watching the commotion, too afraid to go inside.

He barely escaped the disaster.

After seeing everyone from the casino arrested, he rushed to the Precious Goods Pavilion to request an audience with Ye Hu.

Ye Hu had just returned to Mount Dajiao that noon with the hunting team.

Upon learning that the Brothers Casino had been raided and his younger brother arrested, he hurried in a panic to the Magistrate's mansion.

"What else can I do!" Ye Hu said coldly. "They refused to see me outright."

The Beast Tamer suggested, "My lord Ye Hu, should we ask a senior official from the Precious Goods Pavilion to assist you?"

Casino operations are inherently illicit.

Without powerful backing, they cannot last long.

The Brothers Casino has grown to its current scale thanks largely to Ye Hu's position in the Precious Goods Pavilion.

In all of Mount Dajiao, only the City Guard rivals the Precious Goods Pavilion in power.

Even He Family, the oldest clan in Mount Dajiao, must bow before the Precious Goods Pavilion!

Neither Ye Hu nor Ye Long are fools—they've used casino profits to bribe connections within the Precious Goods Pavilion.

"There's no other choice!"

After being rebuffed once, Ye Hu understood: with his status, the City Guard would grant him no respect whatsoever.

Back at the Precious Goods Pavilion, he found his squad leader, Sang Ling.
