Chapter 393: Chapter 393: Gambling on Antiques
Jin Lingsu’s face suddenly flickered with a hint of murderous intent; the golden spikes somehow appeared in his hand and viciously stabbed into Lu Dashan’s hand.
A shrill scream echoed in an instant, and everyone in the restaurant widened their eyes; the noise that had been present just a moment ago fell silent.
“What are you doing? How dare you lay hands on me? Do you know I have a reputation here?”
Jin Lingsu didn’t care for that, raising his hand and fiercely slapping Lu Dashan’s face, sending his body crashing to the ground.
Such a strong show of force stunned everyone.
No one expected Jin Lingsu to be so formidable.
Chen Yu ate his meat, looking as if it was all only to be expected.
“Alright, this place is still the Dongming Gorge, after all, and we need to follow the house rules. Let him go; we don’t need any additional troubles.”
Jin Lingsu said no more, simply retracting his sword-spikes.
Lu Dashan must have been dazed by the slap; he staggered back to his original seat, took a fierce swig of wine, and dared not utter another word.
Just then, a delicate figure hurried into the shop, with a dozen stout men in hot pursuit.
As this group rushed in, everyone eating in the shop stood up, appearing quite fearful.
Even the staff of the shop didn’t dare to speak another word.
Chen Yu, however, didn’t care about any of that; he walked straight up to the girl.
The moment the girl had rushed in, he felt he had seen this young lady somewhere before.
When he cradled the girl’s head, he was taken aback to discover that she was indeed Katherine.
“Mr. Chen!”
Katherine too was surprised but then clung to Chen Yu’s leg as if grabbing a lifeline.
“Mr. Chen, please save me! These people have captured Victor, and they’ve slain everyone from William’s family.”
Chen Yu’s pupils trembled slightly; he hadn’t expected the prominent William’s family to be hunted down to such extremes here.
The dozen or so stout men, seeing this, blocked the entrance.
The man leading them, carrying a machete, slowly advanced.
“Kid, don’t meddle in what doesn’t concern you, or I’ll kill you as well.”
Chen Yu was somewhat bewildered; upon his arrival, he was given a handbook by the gatekeeper, the first rule being not to cause trouble.
However, these folks in front of him weren’t just causing trouble; they were running amok.
“Are you from the Dongming Gorge?” Chen Yu tentatively inquired.
The leading man snorted coldly, “The managers of Dongming Gorge only show up on the day of the big meeting; we…”
Before he could finish, the sharp sound of a slap rang throughout the hall.
The man collapsed to the ground, knocked out cold.
Chen Yu shook his wrist lightly.
“Since you’re not from Dongming Gorge, I see no need to be polite to you.”
With those words, Chen Yu lifted his palm and fiercely slapped it across the faces of the others.
In a moment, he had beaten those men to the ground.
As he was about to deal with the last man, that man actually knelt on the ground.
“Do you not wish to rescue Victor?”
Chen Yu grabbed the man by the collar and hoisted him up high.
“Where is he?”
The man gasped for air, “At the antique shop at the end of the street, we haven’t done anything to him, it’s just that the old man has lost several times in a row.”
Chen Yu immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, hastily ate a few bites, and then took Jin Lingsu and Katherine to the antique shop at the end of the street.
