I create patterns, regardless of your level of expertise.

As Yan Guanghai flew out, the onlookers hiding on the other side of the street immediately gasped in surprise.

"What just flew out?"

"It seems to be Yan Guanghai."

"My God, it really is Yan Guanghai!"

The array inside the gambling den blocked out all sounds, and the two groups blocking the entrance couldn't see what was happening inside.

It wasn't until Yan Guanghai flew out and everyone could see him clearly that they vaguely guessed what had happened.

"Who hit him? I think I just saw Yan Wanlou do it?"

"It's Yan Wanlou! I didn't expect the whole Yan family to come, and Yan Guanghai is still going to get beaten up."

"It seems those two are very powerful; the Yan family has really bitten off more than they can chew this time."

"Serves him right! Yan Guanghai has always bullied others because of his family background, and today he finally got his comeuppance."

People outside were talking about it, while inside the gambling den...

Ma Yuan had already fainted, and the people at the gambling den were in a flurry of activity, pinching his philtrum and feeding him pills, and they managed to wake him up.

When Ma Yuan woke up, he was completely limp and crawled to his knees in front of Li Hao.

"Please forgive me, senior! I was truly unaware that it was Senior Li Hao in person, and I have offended you greatly. Please spare my life."

"I am willing to serve my seniors, even as a beast of burden!"

Li Hao was utterly speechless. He said, "I mean, do the people of your world know any other words besides 'working like cattle'?"

Ma Yuan's mind went blank for a moment.

Our world?

What world do you come from?

It looks neither demon, spirit, nor monster; could it be... the realm of gods?!

No wonder Wang Yizhou had to give special instructions; this person's background is simply extraordinary!

At the doorway, Yan Wanlou trembled violently upon hearing this. Looking at Yan Guanghai, whose fate remained unknown, he roared again, "Bring him back!"

Yan's thugs quickly went out and picked up Yan Guanghai. Yan Wanlou then dragged him to Li Hao.

"This unfilial son dared to offend my senior today. I will make him atone with his death in front of you!"

As he spoke, Yan Guanghai slowly raised his hand, his palm surging with spiritual energy, causing the air to begin to distort.

With that palm strike, Yan Guanghai was truly going to die.

Li Hao watched this scene with great interest and said, "Get started! What are you standing there for?"

Yan Wanlou's hand trembled, and he couldn't bring himself to do it, so he pulled Yan Guanghai down to kneel down with him.

"senior!"

"Our Yan family only has this one son. If you truly wish to pay with your life, then please allow me, his father, to pay for my son's life!"

Yan Wanlou bowed deeply.

Li Hao shook his head slightly and said, "What a deep love for one's child... I won't stop you if you want to die, but he must die today."

"Otherwise, if word gets out, and all my men are beaten to a pulp while I do nothing, what will I look like?"

"I'll only kill him now, then wait a bit, hehe..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Wanlou trembled and pulled Yan Guanghai over.

"Father...Father, I was wrong...Please spare my life..."

Yan Guanghai was already half-dead, and now, under the threat of death, he mustered all his strength to beg for mercy, but it was no use.

With Yan Wanlou's intervention, Yan Guanghai's life force was cut off, and he died with his eyes wide open, unable to close them in peace.

Yan Wanlou seemed to have all his strength drained away, and in an instant he was extremely exhausted, his eyes lifeless.

"Senior, is that enough...?"

Li Hao frowned and said, "Don't make it sound like I forced him to his death. He brought this upon himself."

"Yan Wanlou, you won't hold a grudge against me, will you?"

Yan Wanlou bowed deeply: "No, even if he doesn't die today, he will bring even greater disaster to the Yan family in the future."

"His death today is a good thing for the Yan family."

Upon hearing this, Li Hao snorted coldly before saying, "You'd better think that way."

"Get lost."

Yan Wanlou said no more and left with his family.

After he left.

Li Hao then turned his gaze back to Ma Yuan.

Ma Yuan immediately shuddered and hurriedly said with a fawning expression, "Senior, it was Yan Guanghai who provoked you. Now that Yan Guanghai is dead, shouldn't this matter be considered over?"

Li Hao sat down again and said, "Go back? Go where?"

"Weren't you very confident before? Saying that Wang Yizhou was behind the gambling den."

"I happened to be here today to see him about something. I was planning to go to the Medicine Tower to find him tomorrow, but since we've run into each other, could you please pass on a message and ask him to come see me?"

Ma Yuan's face stiffened. He contacted Wang Yizhou? Who did he think he was to be able to contact Wang Yizhou?

"What's wrong? Are you in a difficult position?" Li Hao asked, raising an eyebrow.

"No, no, no! I..." Ma Yuan knew that if he dared to refuse now, it would be a really big problem, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "I'll go right now!"

"Please wait here for a moment, senior. I'll be right back."

After saying that, Ma Yuan quickly called the others over: "Everyone, serve the senior well, do you hear me!"

After giving him his instructions, he hurriedly left.

Once he was outside the gambling den, he couldn't hold back any longer and slapped himself across the face.

"Ma Yuan, Ma Yuan, why did you have to get involved in this mess!"

Even though he's a director, he should take responsibility when something happens at the gambling den.

Normally, after he learned that Yan Guanghai had a conflict with someone, he should have gone directly to inform the real owner of the gambling den.

He just wanted to curry favor with the Yan family, so he brought his own people over.

Thinking that he could use Wang Yizhou's name as a powerful figure, even if Wang Yizhou had some connections, this matter should be resolved peacefully.

As a result, Li Hao's background had become so powerful that even Wang Yizhou didn't care anymore!

"No, we have to shift the blame! Anyway, I didn't lay a hand on him; it was Chen Hu who did it. Let's say that Chen Hu provoked this senior."

Ma Yuan thought to himself as he hurried toward the real boss's residence.

"Young Master! Young Master, something terrible has happened!"

Ma Yuan hurriedly pushed open the door and entered. On the huge bed, a dozen female cultivators and a man sat up at once.

"Damn it, what's going on? Can't you see I'm busy?"

The man's name was Wang Yao, so by calculation, he should call Wang Yizhou his great-grandfather.

Back when Wang Yizhou was still the tower master of the Southern Branch, he had already opened a gambling den in the City That Never Sleeps. As Wang Yizhou was promoted, his status here naturally rose as well.

Although Wang Yizhou had only met him a few times, with this identity, all the major and minor forces in the Never-Night City, if not all of them, would come to curry favor with him, at least none of them dared to provoke him casually.

Taking this opportunity, he also opened Wan Jin Gambling Houses all over the city that never sleeps. Now he is in the midst of his success, so Ma Yuan’s hurried intrusion really annoyed him.

Ma Yuan didn't care about any of that. He quickly dismissed all the women on the bed, pulled Wang Yao down, and whispered something to him.

"What?! That bastard Chen Hu, I give him so many spirit stones every year, and he actually brought me such a huge disaster!"
