Chapter 57: The Gang Leader Invites You!

"Gang Leader Guan has concerns, which is understandable."

Seeing Guan Tong silent, rather than refusing outright, the smile on Guo Jinian’s face grew thicker, and he said softly, "Chen Mu is suspected to have an Innate realm 'Master'; killing him might lead to retaliation."

"But this is only a possibility!"

"So far, no one has seen Chen Mu’s Master. This Master of his most likely doesn't exist and was made up by Chen Mu himself. Even if we take a step back and assume this Innate realm Master of Chen Mu really exists, whether he can find Gang Leader Guan is another matter."

"Opportunity is often accompanied by risk. If Gang Leader Guan breaks through to the Innate realm himself, what is there to fear from others? For example, the restrictions the Gao family has on Gang Leader Guan can be easily broken."

"……"

Guo Jinian kept talking.

Guan Tong remained silent, his expression unchanged, but when Guo Jinian said the two words "Gao family," his fists clenched tightly!

Most people don't know that the various gangs in the outer city are actually controlled by a force behind the scenes!

Behind the Dadao Gang is the Gao family in the inner city.

Although the Gao family is not in the first tier of Nanyun Prefecture, it is in the second tier, on the same level as the Tang family, with Innate martial artists sitting in the clan.

Guan Tong, and when Guan Tong’s father was in power, they were all supported and controlled by the Gao family!

Don't look at Guan Tong as the Gang Leader of the Dadao Gang.

But if the Gao family is unhappy, he has to step down!

To put it nicely, Guan Tong is the Gang Leader; to put it bluntly, he is a dog of the Gao family.

If……

If he became an Innate martial artist, would the Gao family still dare to force him?

"Phew!"

Taking a deep breath, suppressing his restless mood, Guan Tong opened his mouth and said in a deep voice, "I can agree to kill Chen Mu. But afterward, the Guo family must give me a Spirit Weapon! A middle-grade large blade will do!"

"This……"

Guo Jinian pondered.

Seeing this, Guan Tong added, "Innate Pill, middle-grade Spirit Weapon, neither can be missing. Young Master Guo also said that killing Chen Mu has great repercussions. Since it concerns the Innate realm, I think it’s necessary to have one more middle-grade Spirit Weapon."

"……Fine."

Guo Jinian hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "After it’s done, I’ll give you a middle-grade Spirit Weapon blade."

"Deal!"

Guan Tong’s mouth curled up, and he reached out his hand, "Happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation." Guo Jinian smiled and reached out to shake Guan Tong’s hand.

The deal was reached, and both were very happy.

It’s just that each had their own calculations!

Guo Jinian was secretly laughing at Guan Tong for being stupid, tempted by the Innate Pill.

As long as Chen Mu dies, Guan Tong won't live long after!

However, Guan Tong’s mind was also turning fast.

Why the Guo family wanted to kill Chen Mu, he figured out the reason after a little thought.

For Chen Mu, Guan Tong was actually very appreciative and willing to promote him.

He had a suspected Innate realm Master behind him, and he himself had a relationship with the Martial Suppression Division.

If it weren't for the Innate Pill and the middle-grade Spirit Weapon, Guan Tong wouldn't have made a move.

Unfortunately, since it concerned his own breakthrough to the Innate realm, he could only say sorry.

Of course.

Killing is killing, but how to kill still requires a way.

Sneak attack and assassination directly would inevitably leave traces.

The Guo family was wary of the Innate realm Master Chen Mu might have behind him.

Guan Tong was equally wary.

The Guo family used him as a blade, and Guan Tong could also find someone else to be this "blade"!

Only by not getting his own hands dirty could he distance himself to the greatest extent.

……

……

Nanyun Prefecture city.

[Corpse found, do you want to loot?]

"Yes!"

Under the courtyard wall thirty meters east of the government office morgue, Chen Mu, wearing a human-skin mask, silently looted two cards in his heart.

During the looting process, he didn't stop his feet, walking slowly.

Until he was far away from the morgue, he reached into his pocket and checked the cards.

Two cards, one was an Internal Energy Card with two months of cultivation!

One was a Powerful Card!

"Not bad."

Chen Mu put away the cards.

With subordinates running everywhere to collect information, as long as someone died in the city, it would never be missed.

Even if the corpse was carried away by the government office and sent to the morgue.

Acquired Eighth Stage, a looting range of sixty-four meters, was enough for Chen Mu not to miss a single functional card.

Although what he wanted most now was an Internal Energy Card.

No way, impacting the Acquired Ninth Stage required more Internal Energy Cards.

……

Strolling on the street, before nightfall, he returned to the eastern district.

Putting away the human-skin mask, just as he walked into the hall gate...

"Hall Master Chen, the Gang Leader invites you!"

A sturdy man waited behind the door, saw Chen Mu, and shouted respectfully.

"The Gang Leader wants to see me?" Chen Mu was puzzled and asked casually, "Is there anything?"

"This, subordinate doesn't know." The sturdy man apologized.

"No matter." Chen Mu smiled, "Then let’s go, go see the Gang Leader."

"Hall Master Chen, please."

Hearing this, the sturdy man hurriedly walked in front to lead the way.

Chen Mu followed behind.

The two left Changlong Ward, walked through three streets, and entered a spacious alley.

Finally, they walked into a quiet courtyard.

Just as he entered the gate, Chen Mu saw Guan Tong standing under the eaves not far away, waving at him and laughing loudly, "Brother Chen, come quickly, come quickly, this exotic beast meat is stewed just right."

"……Greetings, Gang Leader!"

Chen Mu approached and cupped his hands in salute.

"Own brothers, why so polite." Guan Tong smiled cordially, greeted Chen Mu into the room, came to a round table, and sat face to face.

The table was filled with rich wine and food, and in the center was a sand pot, heated by charcoal at the bottom, with large chunks of meat rising and falling in the pot with the heat.

A rich meaty aroma drifted through the room with the heat.

Exotic beast meat!

"Come, brother, have a drink first."

Guan Tong picked up the wine pot and poured wine into the empty cup in front of Chen Mu.

"Gang Leader, let me, let me." Chen Mu stood up and reached for the wine pot.

"Just pouring wine." Guan Tong smiled and pulled his hand back, then poured a full cup for Chen Mu, and then poured one for himself.

"I asked you here today, nothing special, just that I got a few pounds of exotic beast meat, and I’m asking you to come and taste it together."

"This exotic beast meat, you have to drink a mouthful of wine first, then eat it to be refreshing," Guan Tong said, picking up the wine cup and drinking it in one gulp.

Chen Mu didn't drink, picked up his chopsticks, and smiled, "Then I’ll taste the meat first."

Saying this, he reached into the sand pot with his chopsticks, picked up a large piece of meat, blew on it by his mouth, and then put it in his mouth to chew slowly.

"Hmm~" Chen Mu nodded while eating, "Not bad, not bad, this meat is chewy enough."

"Haha, didn't lie to you, right." Guan Tong laughed, picked up the wine pot, poured himself a full cup, then raised the cup, gesturing to Chen Mu, "Just eating meat isn't enough, drink a mouthful of wine first."

"It’s okay."

Chen Mu rudely wiped his mouth with his left hand, picked up a piece of meat with his right chopsticks again, blew on it, put it in his mouth, and chewed with satisfaction.

"Haha~"

Guan Tong laughed, put down the wine cup, pointed at Chen Mu, and shook his head, "Brother Chen, with your way of eating, people who don't know would think I’m abusing you."

"How could that be."

Chen Mu wiped his mouth again with his left palm and smiled, "Who in the gang doesn't know how well the Gang Leader takes care of me? Everyone is both envious and jealous!"

"Haha." Guan Tong laughed heartily, "That’s because Brother Chen is capable himself, come, let’s clink glasses."

Chen Mu still didn't take the wine cup, the smile on his mouth didn't diminish, "I am very grateful for the Gang Leader’s care, but I can’t figure out why the Gang Leader wants to kill me?"

"……"

The smile on Guan Tong’s face froze instantly!
