Chapter 132 (1/2)
””I don't think any of you will ever forget my name.””
””Let me introduce myself. My name is Guo Luo. I think that when you guys bet on stones in the future, you will all think of me.””
””Don't be arrogant!””
A big man who looked to be in his forties stood up and shouted. His fierce-looking appearance was rather frightening.
This person was wearing a set of clothes and was tall, so he seemed rather special in the crowd.
He was a meter and a half tall and looked even bigger than Du.
The cloth shoes had an imposing manner that no one dared to underestimate.
Someone from the Gao Family.
Someone was whispering underground.
””The Gao Clan has made their move. This time, they have that darn thing to look after. They actually dare to look down on my people.””
””That's right, the Gao Family has a deep background. Now that Mister Gao has made a move, the people of You Country will lose face.””
On the second floor, a well-behaved looking young girl stood beside An Xuan. It was Zhuang Fei Fei Fei's personal maid, the Red Luan. The Red Luan's heart was moved.
Her appearance was not that beautiful, but she had the aura of a neighbor's little sister, and was extremely adorable.
””That's the Gao Family's Gao Yuan Lake. Everyone calls him Mister Gao, he's the boss of all the casinos in the capital.””
The Red Luan explained to An Zhe, ””The Gao Clan can be considered to be a legend. Back then, when Great Yan Dynasty was founded, Gao Zhaoxing had pioneered territories with the King of Yan. His achievements were outstanding.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was conferred the t.i.tle of the Duke of the State by the King of Yan, one of the Seven Kingdoms of the Great Yan Dynasty.
In addition, he was at the top of the rankings.
However, this Gao Zhaixing was also a legendary figure. Three years after the founding of Great Yan Dynasty, he asked to meet the King of Yan and asked to be exempted from all his official t.i.tles.
””Not only him, all official positions of the Gao Family members have been removed.””
””At that time, King Yan was extremely shocked and asked him why.
Gao Zhaoxing said that he was willing to use his own contributions to exchange for three chances for the descendants to die.
He said that he was worried that his descendants would become despotic and despotic because of him. He was afraid that one day, his descendants would bring his name along and commit evil, and he was even more afraid that they would come to destroy his clan.
””Duke Yan advised him to not think too much about it. As long as he can guide her well, how could something like this happen?””
””Gao Zhaoxing insisted on leaving the imperial court and entered the palace six times in a row. In the end, the King of Yan finally granted him his request and gave the Gao Clan three death-free gold medals.
The King of Swallow had left behind his last words. The Gao Clan had done meritorious deeds to the Great Yan Clan, so the descendants of the Mu Clan were not allowed to forget.
Later on, the Gao Family began to engage in business. Because the Yan Clan liked to gamble, they opened up a casino.
The rules of his casino were the most fair and fair. Of course, it was only a rumor, and I didn't go in.
There were only two types of girls going in and out of the casino.
””On the other hand, I'm not afraid of people saying such things.””
Two isn't afraid, two means two things.
””However, although the Gao Clan left the imperial court, because of their great influence in the military, many people had received the favor of the Star Seizer, so the Gao Clan's business grew bigger and bigger with ease.
In addition, the descendants of the Gao Family all knew how to manage and keep a low-profile. They had always maintained a good relations.h.i.+p with the military and had dealings with many important figures within the imperial court.
Therefore, all of the casinos in Fang Gu City were now under the control of the Gao Family.
””And outside Fang Gu City, inside the Great Yan Dynasty, it is said that the Gao Clan has already opened 320 casinos.””
The Red Luan's voice was clear and pleasing to the ears. After she finished speaking in one breath, she looked at An Zaihai and said, ””Do not underestimate the people of the Gao Clan. Gao Zhaoxing was a true-blue Great Perfection expert. It is said that he was only a little bit away from the Small Heaven Realm.””
””There are also rumors that the reason why the Gao Family has remained as unmoving as a mountain for so many years is precisely because the Gao Family has a genuine great cultivator overseeing them.
An Xin nodded her head, ””In that case, this Mister Gao Yuan, is the current Gao Family's head?””
The Red Luan shook its head. ””I don't know about that. In any case, he's the one who came out for the matters on the surface.””
Downstairs, Gao Yuan walked up to the platform. He stood beside a table and stared at the stone for a while. His eyebrows were tightly knitted.
Guo Luo, an official from You Country, smiled. ””How should I address this person?””
””Gao Yuan Lake.””
””Mr. Gao, looking at your clothes, you should not have any official position on you.””
However, since he was able to come to today's occasion, he should not be a mortal.
Since Mister Gao dared to stand up first, he must have already made up his mind.
””I wonder which one Mr. Gao chose, and how many bets are you prepared to place?””
Gao Yuan's line of sight wandered around the rocks. Finally, he chose a rock the size of a watermelon and said, ””This one.””
The rock looked like a crooked pear, big and small.
The stone radiated a pale blue glow, and it was not the kind that floated on the surface. All the light seemed to be seeping out from within the stone.
Gao Yuan held the stone up in front of his eyes and looked out of the window at the sunlight. The stone was very heavy, so he couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.
However, he could vaguely see a shadow within.
He sniffed again in front of his nose, then frowned.
Finally he put the stone on the table and stood looking at it for another five minutes.
He knew that the lake must be feeling the stone.
As long as it was a true treasure, no matter how tightly the stone was sealed, there might still be a faint aura seeping out.
He didn't know what kind of cultivation base Gao Yuan had, but since he had become the Gao Family's manager, his eyesight, experience, and cultivation base would definitely not be low.
Guo Luo did not seem to mind. She was smiling as she stared at the lake.
After a while, Gao Yuan confirmed again, ””I choose this one.””
Guo Luo asked, ””How much does Mr. Gao plan to bet?
Gambling or not?
””If there is, what's the gambling grade?””
Gao Yuan had already made his decision, but he still decided after pondering for a while, ””Ten thousand taels of silver, there will be a bet.””
””It's a piece of white goods.””
Guo Luo seemed to be disdainful of the offer, as he did not think much of the ten thousand taels.
