When Chu Chen arrived at the street corner, he found Wang Lu and the others waiting on the side.
Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly jogged over.
However, as he looked at everyone with a defeated look, he curiously asked, "What happened to you guys?"
Wang Lu replied angrily, "We just ran into so troublemakers on the shopping street."
"Oh? Tell more in detail."
"They are from a dium-sized city called Black Snake City. Those guys deliberately caused trouble with the intention of doing sothing bad to Zhang Yuyan and Ji Mingyue."
Chu Chen was taken aback upon hearing this. This is Cyan Dragon City, where gambling is allowed, but targeting people is absolutely not tolerated. Could those guys have gone mad? However, considering the two girls’ looks, he understood.
With the beauty of those two girls, so people with impure thoughts would take the risk, which is understandable.
"Such audacity. What exactly did they do?" Chu Chen asked coldly.
"They deliberately provoked and angered us, then challenged us to a gambling egg match, and ended up winning over ten million from us. Later, we found out that one of them is called Shen Jialiang, and it’s rumored he apprenticed under a Gambling Egg Master. They wanted to burden us with massive debts and then plot against Ji Mingyue and the others."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen suppressed his fury and glared at the two girls intensely, asking solemnly, "How did you manage to get away?"
Wang Lu blushed red with embarrassnt, stuttering without being able to say a word.
Seeing this, Chu Chen looked at the other boys, finding them all red-faced and silent.
Finally, Chu Chen fixed his gaze on the two girls.
Ji Mingyue, seeing this, bit her lip and said, "It was Yu Yan who noticed Shen Jialiang and the others’ intentions. After she alerted us, we finally realized it. But when we were leaving, they ridiculed us harshly, saying many unbearable things. There were many onlookers at the ti, and we probably beca a laughingstock."
After hearing Ji Mingyue’s explanation, Chu Chen’s face instantly turned icy. He turned to Wang Lu and the others, saying, "Can you still find them? I’ll get revenge for you."
Wang Lu and the others quickly advised against it, "No way, those guys are very cunning, and with Shen Jialiang around, we can’t win. If we lose, it’s over."
Gangzi and the others chid in with advice as well.
At this mont, Zhang Yuyan suddenly spoke up, "Those guys are still at the Gambling Egg Pavilion, but from their chatting, they should be heading to the Food Street soon."
Everyone looked at Zhang Yuyan in surprise, clearly shocked by her actions.
Chu Chen, upon hearing this, smiled and nodded, "Great, let’s first go to Food Street for sothing to eat, then we’ll find them for revenge."
Wang Lu and the others were about to continue persuading, but Chu Chen interrupted, "Relax, I’ve studied gambling eggs with City Lord Dong in Black Mist City, dealing with soone like Shen Jialiang is no pressure at all."
Zhang Yuyan was taken aback when she heard this, clearly not expecting Chu Chen to lie so effortlessly.
However, she knew very well, Chu Chen wouldn’t lose. She imdiately backed him up by saying, "That’s right, I witnessed it myself. City Lord Dong is such a mighty figure. Even a few casual pointers to Chu Chen would make him far superior to soone like Shen Jialiang, not to ntion a full tutelage from City Lord Dong."
Once again, everyone fell into shock, including Chu Chen, but their points of shock were different.
Wang Lu and the others were shocked by Chu Chen’s luck in getting Dong Hanyang’s favor.
They had no doubt about Zhang Yuyan’s words. After all, she was known for being aloof and not talking much, but everyone knew she never lied.
Chu Chen was shocked that Zhang Yuyan would help him lie, although it was a white lie, it was still a lie.
"I didn’t expect you to be so lucky, you must avenge us later," Wang Lu excitedly exclaid while grabbing Chu Chen’s shoulder.
Chu Chen smiled and replied, "Of course, only I’m allowed to bully my brothers; I won’t stand for anyone else bullying them."
The two bantered for a while, then walked towards Food Street.
Wang Lingfeng looked at Chu Chen’s back, his eyes filled with curiosity.
He found this young man rather intriguing, ever since the incident with the Cyan-Scaled Flood Dragon’s Dragon Wei. He felt this guy was fascinating.
Now, he was eager to see how the other party would deal with Shen Jialiang.
Food Street wasn’t far from the shopping street. It only took the group ten minutes to walk there.
The whole street stretched thousands of ters long, with a width reaching four zhang. Shops lined the sides of the streets and alleys, with countless restaurants, and even more people,
Being young, Chu Chen and the others were more interested in local snacks than typical als.
Everywhere they looked, there was a sea of people, each snack shop surrounded by crowds.
In these situations, Chu Chen only experienced such crowds after school, and he had summarized his thoughts on it.
The more crowded it is, the better the taste and cost-effectiveness of the snack shop.
"Let’s go, we’ll eat at that one first," Chu Chen said, pointing to a grilled kebab snack shop.
Everyone agreed readily.
When they reached the entrance of the shop, they found out the place specialized in rib kebabs made from the Grass-Scented Pig.
This is a kind of Elite Quality Star Beast, with low combat power, but its at is tender and delicious. It is a highly sought-after at, and almost everyone held over a dozen kebabs.
By the ti it was Chu Chen and the others’ turn, half an hour had already passed.
The group’s appetites were long teased, holding those at skewers was too tempting to resist.
Every skewer had a piece of soft bone. Every bite burst with juice, and the cartilage was exceptionally tasty and chewy.
Amidst savoring the food, a discordant voice ca from afar.
"Yo, aren’t those guys a bunch of cowards?"
"Haha, it is indeed them."
Following the voice, Chu Chen looked over and found a group of ten people, led by a tall and handso young man.
"Are these the people from Black Snake City?" Chu Chen asked coldly.
Wang Lu replied coldly, "Yes, that’s them. The one in the lead is Shen Jialiang."
At this ti, everyone in line around them cast their gazes at Chu Chen and his group.
They whispered among themselves, pointing at them, evidently many had witnessed Wang Lu and the others’ predicant at the Gambling Egg Pavilion.
Seeing this, Chu Chen raised a hand and pointed at the group from Black Snake City, saying, "Are you the ones who bullied my friends?"
Shen Jialiang sneered upon hearing this, "You’re mistaken. We were just having a fair competition. How can they bla us for their lack of skill?"
"A fair competition, huh? I heard you have so gambling egg skills. Dare to compete with ?"
The group from Black Snake City burst into laughter. Shen Jialiang had received true teachings from a Gambling Egg Master and had a certain fa in Black Snake City’s gambling egg scene.
And Chu Chen and his group were just from a small frontier town, seeing gambling eggs for the first ti. Now, the other party dared to gamble with him, this was simply courting humiliation.
