"...," Gu Jiangming struggled to open his blood-caked mouth but could not speak.
The rest of the people were also shockingly looking at Xu Shu.
Xu Shu looked back at them and said, "Do you see any problem with this?"
"No problem, absolutely no problem," said the beautiful woman surnad Qin as she shook her head.
"I think so indeed, no problem," Wei Wujiu said.
"What do you an no problem? You really are good for nothing but farting!"
Butcher Zhang raised his voice, eting Gu Jiangming’s hopeful gaze, and continued, "If not, how could it be called a wager? If you ask , you’ve shorted him. The total should be 4.8 million, and that’s an unlucky number. Let’s round it up to 5 million!"
The room fell silent for a mont:
"Hahaha, Butcher Zhang has a point!"
"That settles it, then. There’s really no problem."
For a while, several people applauded in agreent, filling the room with laughter and a lively atmosphere.
At this point, they obviously didn’t want to make trouble, considering the matter settled if money could smooth it over.
"This..." Gu Yue Ming hesitated, not understanding how things had gotten to this point.
Gu Pan, on the other hand, accepted the situation quickly: "I see no problem."
Gu Jiangming looked down, his peripheral vision sweeping the faces of his friends, hiding a hint of coldness.
He struggled to say, "Fine, we will do as you wish. But naturally, I don’t carry such things with . You will have to accompany back to the Gu Family to collect them."
"Ahem, Jiangming, brother, that place now belongs to the Wei Family," Wei Wujiu said.
Gu Jiangming gave him a glance, his expression becoming calm, as if looking at a dead man, "Yes, Mr. Wei is correct. The rest of you, co along too, just like she said. Everyone witness this, and let’s consider the matter settled. Let’s make a big deal small, and let the small one be gone."
"This..."
Several people hesitated, seemingly reluctant.
But Wei Wujiu said, "Let’s all go together. It just so happens I can play host and invite Brother Xu to a al, as an apology."
His gaze inadvertently swept over a black leather-bound book on Xu Shu’s waist, his face betraying a barely perceptible sycophancy.
Seeing that Wei Wujiu, the leader, had spoken, the others thought it over and decided it was okay and agreed.
And for Gu Yue Ming and Gu Pan, there was no objection; it was their own house they had lived in for over a dozen years. To return and personally tidy up so personal belongings was naturally even better.
"Then let’s be on our way now!" Gu Jiangming looked deferential, not prone to talk more and took the lead in leaving.
The rest of the crowd suddenly agreed, and just like chivalrous figures of Jianghu, who one second were fighting and the next shaking hands in peace, they happily surrounded Xu Shu and went back upstairs together.
The cars were parked here, and going back was convenient. Everyone seed aware of Wei Wujiu’s gaze, and they also discovered Xu Shu’s black leather book. They all beca extrely enthusiastic and earnestly invited Xu Shu to ride in their cars.
Xu Shu didn’t care for such enthusiasm, though. He commandeered a car from an unknown owner and handed it over to Gu Pan to drive.
He was most used to being driven by his teacher.
Seeing this, the others didn’t insist and began driving from there to the Hunter Association located at the center of the safe zone.
On the way, Wei Wujiu sat in the backseat of his private car. He had just bandaged his wounded shoulder with a pharmacist’s bandage when suddenly a dark shadow darted in like a ghost, settling into the seat and revealing a beguiling figure.
It was the beautiful woman from before, "Impermanence" Qin Yue.
"Mr. Wei, have you figured sothing out? Tell about it. The book on that guy’s body, if I’m not mistaken... is it from ’that person’?" Qin Yue asked.
Wei Wujiu snorted coldly: "Ha, you’ve already figured it out, why the act?"
"This sister’s eyes aren’t too sharp, I didn’t see clearly. I still hope Mr. Wei can give so guidance," Qin Yue said, licking her red lips and leaning in alluringly.
Wei Wujiu was not polite and pulled her into his arms, vigorously scrubbing her with facial cleanser to recover from the psychological trauma he had just suffered.
After he had eased his mind and body, he said:
"Yes, that is the Holy Word Book of the Archbishop of the Dawn Church! Recently, when the Wei Family was promoted, the Archbishop personally appeared to confer the honor on our Family Head, and I’ve seen it once!"
Qin Yue covered her mouth and said, "So, that ans this kid is that Xu Shu, isn’t he? Now that I hear the na, I didn’t react at first."
Wei Wujiu sighed, "Indeed, I had a feeling sothing was strange from the start, but didn’t want to believe it. When he knocked down with one blow, it all clicked. Who else could it be with that kind of power at Second Rank, if not the High-level Prosecutor personally ntioned by the Archbishop?"
"Tsk tsk, no wonder you changed your attitude so quickly. You recognized your superior, huh, giggle giggle. If I rember correctly, your Wei Family is a direct line of the Dawn Church, aren’t you?" Qin Yue laughed.
"Isn’t that the truth."
Wei Wujiu suddenly asked: "Sister Yue, how old are you this year?"
"Old ghost, can you really ask a woman’s age?" Qin Yue suddenly went pale, bloodless, like a vengeful ghost.
Wei Wujiu said: "Sigh, I’m forty-six years old this year. This is all I’m good for, being an Interdiate Prosecutor, I guess that’s as high as I’ll go. That Xu Shu, guess how old he is?"
"Uh... in his twenties?" Qin Yue was taken aback.
Wei Wujiu shook his head, indicating with his fingers: "Eighteen."
"My God, so young?" Qin Yue was stunned, "But the Holy Word Book, isn’t it said to be passed from one bishop to another? He’s made it at eighteen? That’s utterly unreasonable!"
"The predetermined Bishop of the Dawn Church... you’re asking , but who am I to talk to about this? Regardless, I support it."
Wei Wujiu looked up at the sky, sighing wistfully.
