This method was also to ensure fairness and justice, as well as the interests of the gambling house.
If the world knew in advance who the Shadow Guard Competition was, they would definitely inquire about the situation and bet on the strongest person. Wouldn't the gambling house lose a lot of money?
But thinking that this person was deeply loved by the City Lord, he thought that the City Lord would not blame him after knowing.
Su He thought for a while, then took out a piece of paper and handed it over. He said in a low voice, "After you read it, before the Shadow Guard Competition starts, you must not spread it."
"Of course, I understand that." Cang Zheng nodded.
Taking the paper, Cang Zheng looked at it and found that it was exactly the same as the name list of the man in purple. He could not help but wonder, "Why are there no names of the Shadow Guard Competition from the Seventh City to the Ninth City?"
"Haha!"
Su He shook his head and said disdainfully, "These three cities have never won first place, so no one cares about who they are. Even if the City Lords of the three cities submit their names, the Shadow Guard Commander will not look at it. In other words, it doesn't matter whether they participate or not."
"I see." Cang Zheng suddenly understood. At the same time, he sighed. These three cities were so weak that they were dispensable.
But it was also because of this that Su He did not know that the two people in front of him were the people from the Ninth City and Eighth City. The only people who knew were the man in purple and Zhou Qian, who were all dead.
If Su He knew the identity of the two people now, what kind of expression would he have? He would probably have the heart to kill himself!
"Well, I bet on the Little Devil to win." Cang Zheng returned the name list to Su He and nodded.
Hearing this, Su He was pleasantly surprised. After wasting so much time and energy, he finally convinced this person.
But the next moment, the smile on his face suddenly froze. Not only him, but all the guests and staff were stunned. They stared at the shining Profound Qi on the round table in disbelief!
"What? Can't I buy one Profound Qi? "Cang Zheng asked innocently and seriously.
That's right, Cang Zheng had only bet a single essence, but it wasn't an elemental essence. Instead, it was an ordinary essence. But at this moment, this ordinary essence shined brighter than anything else, becoming the center of attention!
"Are you f * cking kidding me?" Looking at the Profound Qi on the round table, this was the first thought that came to Su He's mind. Then, another thought came to his mind. Was this guy a pauper? So poor that he could only take out one Profound Qi?
In comparison, Su He would rather believe the latter. After all, no one in the First City would dare to make fun of him, Chief Steward Su of the Eternal Gambling Manor.
"General Manager Su, this …"
The shop assistant was in a difficult position. Although Eternal Gambling House didn't have a minimum bet, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Hence, the shop assistant didn't know what to do. He looked at Su He for help.
As his expression changed, Su He said helplessly, "Put it on record!"
"Who dares to do that?!"
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded. Before the voice had finished, a man in black stepped into the gambling house and walked towards the center of the gambling table. Looking at the Profound Qi on the table, the man in black glanced at Cang Zheng and said coldly, "Is my reputation as the Little Demon King only worth one Profound Qi? Whether you did it on purpose or not, don't even think about walking out of here today. "
The newcomer introduced himself. He was the disciple of the First City's City Lord, the Little Demon King who was also one of the candidates for the Shadow Guardian election!
"Lei Zheng, what are you doing here?" As soon as the Little Demon King appeared, Su He's expression changed. He grabbed the Profound Qi on the round table and placed it in his sleeve before walking towards him.
A gentle look appeared on the Little Demon King's face when he saw Su He walking towards him. He then stared coldly at Cang Zheng and said expressionlessly, "Uncle Su, if I hadn't come today, wouldn't I have found out that someone had dared to use a Profound Qi to humiliate me?"
A sharp glint flashed across his eyes. Cang Zheng was about to speak.
Su He noticed that the situation had taken a turn for the worse and rushed forward to whisper to the black-robed man, "Lei Zheng, this person is only a poor wretch. He has no intention of humiliating you on purpose. Besides, this person is highly valued by your Honored Master. Could you please stop pursuing this matter for Uncle Su's sake?"
"Highly valued by my Honored Master?" The Little Demon King was puzzled.
"According to your Honored Master, this person is a genius in the business world. He wants to recruit him for his own use and has instructed Uncle Su to bring him into the Eternal Gambling House no matter what. So please don't cause any more trouble," Su He explained.
"I see. That's easy. Just suppress him directly. With the power of the City Lord Mansion, would he dare to disobey?" The Little Demon King was eccentric and was about to take action. However, Su He stopped him and told him the exact words of the City Lord.
"I see! I'd like to see what's so special about this person that my Honored Master values him so highly. " The black-robed man looked at Cang Zheng with a playful smile. He stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Uncle Su, give me the Profound Qi."
"What do you want to do?" Su He frowned.
"Since he's someone that my Honored Master wants, let me deal with him. Uncle Su, you don't have to worry about it," the Little Demon King said indifferently with an inviolable dignity.
"Sigh!"
Su He hesitated for a moment and finally sighed in his heart. He took out the Profound Qi hidden in his sleeve and placed it in the Little Demon King's hand. He had no choice. Although the Little Demon King addressed him as Uncle, Su He did not dare to disobey his orders!
"I can't let him fool around."
Su He muttered in his heart. He took out the All-encompassing Token and sent a message to the City Lord. In the First City, the Little Demon King would only listen to the City Lord.
"The Little Demon King? Who's the Little Demon King? Why does even Chief Steward Su listen to him? "Someone was puzzled. Everyone was puzzled.
"Wutian, the Little Demon King is like this. It shouldn't be difficult for you to defeat him!" Cang Zheng said.
"What do you think?" Wutian smiled.
Cang Zheng glanced at Wutian and pursed his lips, "Just by looking at your arrogant face, I can tell that you don't care about this person at all."
Wutian smiled and did not say anything. He looked quite mysterious.
"I heard that you're a genius in business."
The Little Demon King walked in front of Cang Zheng and weighed the Profound Qi in his hand. He lifted the corner of his mouth and said with a strange smile, "I'll give you three options. First, give me 10,000 Essence. Remember, it's not Profound Qi, it's Essence! Second, obediently work for the Eternal Gambling House and I'll let bygones be bygones. Third, eat this Essence and I'll call it a day. "
"10,000 Essence! Oh my god! How much wealth is that? I'm afraid even the City Lord of a low-class city can't take out so much! "
"Isn't that so? 10,000 Essence is equivalent to 100 million Profound Qi. That person only took out one Essence to bet. It's obvious that he's a penniless pauper. It's better to kill him than to take out 10,000 Essence."
As soon as this was said, it immediately caused a commotion. Everyone was discussing animatedly with ridicule in their eyes. Some even brought over small stools and sat on them, ready to watch a good show!
An old man rolled his eyes and shook his head, "A bunch of idiots! Didn't you hear the middle sentence? "
Next to the old man, a woman nodded and said, "That's right. That's the main point. The Little Demon King obviously wants this person to work for the Eternal Gambling House. Someone who can be chosen by the Eternal Gambling House and forced to do so can't be an ordinary person."
"Damn! Hurry up and take the stools away. " After listening to the two's explanation, those busybodies who were prepared to watch from the sidelines immediately took their stools and left. Whoosh …
What a joke. If this person really agreed to work for the Eternal Gambling House in the future, how could he have a good life? With just a few tricks, he could make him lose even his pocket.
"You're quite arrogant." Cang Zheng shook his head and smiled, "Open the door to do business. One Essence is also a guest. May I ask if this is how the Eternal Gambling House treats its guests?"
Cang Zheng was a smart man. How could he not see the Little Demon King's real intention? However, he avoided it and spoke with reason.
"I don't care if you're a guest or not. In front of me, you have no choice. You can only make a decision. Also, my time is limited and precious. Don't waste time talking nonsense with me." The Little Demon King sneered.
Cang Zheng was amused. How could there be such an arrogant person in this world? Did he really think that he was the master of the world and that everyone had to listen to him?
"Hmm? It seems like my personality has changed too? "
After that, Cang Zheng was surprised. If someone dared to look at him with such a high attitude in the past, he would have been angry. However, today, he was unusually calm. He even felt that the Little Demon King was like a clown in his eyes.
"Did I change because of Wutian or because I want to get mother's approval?"
Cang Zheng's mind was in a mess. There was an indescribable throbbing in his heart. When he looked at Wutian, he felt a burning sensation on his face. It was very strange.
Seeing this, the Little Devil King on the other side frowned. Anger rose in his heart. He clenched his fists and a crisp cracking sound was heard. He said in a deep voice, "I'm talking to you. Didn't you hear me?"
"Oh! What did you just say? "
"You're courting death!"
The indifferent tone, the indifferent expression, and the way he looked at Cang Zheng as if he was an idiot. All these signs were enough to prove that he was being played like a monkey. The Little Demon King was completely enraged. A powerful aura exploded and covered the sky as it rushed towards Cang Zheng!
"So strong!" The crowd exclaimed. They all retreated as if their buttocks were on fire.
"Do you really think that I'm a vegetarian?" Cang Zheng's eyes flashed. At this moment, Wutian's palm landed on his shoulder and patted him, indicating that he should calm down.
Just as Cang Zheng was puzzled and was about to ask, a beautiful chuckle, like jade beads falling on a plate, suddenly sounded, "Hehe, the Little Demon King's prestige is so great! You even dare to hit a customer. It seems that the Eternal Gambling House has fallen. "
"Yes! Isn't a customer with one Profound Qi a customer? Since the Little Demon King hates one Profound Qi, why don't I also bet one Profound Qi? I'd like to see what you're going to do. "
After the woman's chuckle, a magnetic voice sounded. It was very obvious that the person was deliberately trying to embarrass the Little Demon King.
"Chong Feng, Kong Hanqing!" The Little Demon King turned his head and looked at the door. He said their names word by word.
