Wang Yao was cursing and swearing, but Ma Yuan knew that time was of the essence and quickly interrupted him.

"Young master! Now is not the time to worry about these things. That senior specifically asked Master Wang to come see him, and he's still waiting inside the gambling den."

"If this drags on, and that guy gets angry, we won't be able to handle it!"

Wang Yao rubbed his forehead and said, "You're right, let's hurry to the medicine tower!"

He hurriedly got out of bed and dressed. Ma Yuan, worried, asked again, "Young Master, are you sure you'll be able to see him?"

Wang Yao said, "It's usually hard to meet someone, but since it's Li Hao, whom our great-grandfather mentioned this afternoon, we just need to be clear about it, and meeting him shouldn't be a problem."

He quickly dressed, took Ma Yuan with him, mounted his family's fiery horse, and hurried towards the medicine tower.

There was nothing he could do; the entire city that never sleeps was under a no-fly formation, so no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't take off.

Fortunately, it was already evening, and there weren't many people on the streets, so the journey was relatively smooth.

After an hour and a half, the two finally arrived at the entrance of the medicine tower.

The first floor of the medicine tower is the business area, open 24 hours a day, and there are no barriers to entry.

Above that is the VIP area, and further up, it depends on the level of your Crystal Card.

Fortunately, they weren't there to buy or sell anything. After entering, the two randomly found a reception window and called out, "Is my great-grandfather still here?"

The shopkeeper inside glanced at him, somewhat impatiently saying, "Young Master Wang, what brings you here again? What are you bringing this time?"

"Master Wang has already given instructions not to accept your gifts or see you. Please leave."

Wang Yao said urgently, "I'm not here to deliver a gift! I have something very important to discuss!"

"The distinguished guest that my great-grandfather instructed has arrived and is with me now. If we anger that gentleman, we'll all be in deep trouble!"

Unfortunately, the matter was handled by Wang Yizhou, who had Chen Jinbao directly contact the leaders of various powerful forces. The news hadn't spread yet, and no one else knew about it.

The shopkeeper inside assumed it was just another excuse the kid had made up and ignored it completely. He shook his head, got up, and went to the back to say goodbye and leave work.

Wang Yao was almost frantic. He looked around and just then saw He Yan coming down the stairs.

Wang Yao naturally knew who this person was, and immediately felt as if he had grasped a savior, so he rushed over.

"Lord He!"

He Yan looked up upon hearing this and was somewhat surprised to see it was Wang Yao.

He knew Wang Yao, after all, Wang Yao had tried every means to give Wang Yizhou gifts in the past few years, especially after Wang Yizhou was promoted.

He originally intended to use this opportunity to request a copy of Wang Yizhou's book from the Central Tower, but unfortunately, Wang Yizhou never accepted them, so he didn't find an opportunity.

Seeing Wang Yao's hurried appearance, He Yan vaguely realized something and immediately smiled kindly.

"Isn't this Wang Yao? What's the matter that's so urgent?"

Wang Yao hurriedly said, "Lord He! Please contact my great-grandfather; I have something very important to discuss with him!"

He Yan said with difficulty, "Wang Yizhou is busy right now. If you have something to say, you might as well tell me directly."

Wang Yao was taken aback by these words and hesitated for a moment, but He Yan quickly followed up with, "What, what's wrong? Do you think I can't handle something so serious?"

"If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. I'm going back now."

He Yan made a move to leave, but Wang Yao quickly grabbed him, saying, "Wait! I'll talk!"

"Here's what happened: this afternoon, Chen Jinbao sent messages to all the major powers, saying that a distinguished guest named Li Hao might be coming over in the next few days..."

Wang Yao truly did not lie and told the whole story.

However, what Ma Yuan told him was already a modified version.

Hearing Wang Yao explain the situation to He Yan, Ma Yuan silently took two steps back.

He Yan was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Wang Yizhou's VIP guest assaulted someone in the Never-Sleeping City? One was already half-dead, and the other was forced to have his own father take action?!

Isn't this an opportunity that's just fallen into our laps?

Of course, he feigned extreme anger: "Never-Sleeping City is the territory of the Medicine Tower. How dare this Li Hao commit violence and injure people within Never-Sleeping City?"

"He even drove that Yan family brat to his death, didn't he? Hmph, utterly lawless!"

"Daring to make a move in the City That Never Sleeps shows disrespect for the Medicine Tower. Take me there now, I'll capture him and bring him to justice!"

Wang Yao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Lord He, that Li Hao is, after all, a distinguished guest of my great-grandfather... this..."

Upon hearing this, He Yan patted his shoulder earnestly: "Wang Yao, do you know that your great-grandfather is currently worried about the supply of pills this year?"

"If he fails to complete it, it will already be a major offense."

"Now his guests are injuring people in the City That Never Sleeps, disregarding the city's rules. If this is left unchecked, and the Central Tower finds out, he might lose his position."

"You wouldn't want to see your great-grandfather lose his job, would you?"

"If your great-grandfather is no longer the head of the tower, think about it, how many of your Wan Jin Gambling Houses will be left?"

Wang Yao's face turned pale instantly, and he panicked: "Then, what do we do now?"

He Yan said seriously, "Take me there quickly and control the situation in time. There might still be a chance."

Wang Yao swallowed hard, feeling that something was not quite right, but he was in a hurry and couldn't worry about that now.

"Alright! Please follow me, Master He!"

He could only grit his teeth and lead He Yan out of the medicine tower.

After they came out, there was no need to ride horses anymore. He Yan simply carried the two of them and flew towards the gambling house.

The no-fly formation in the city was clearly unable to restrain He Yan, a powerful expert at the Earth Soul Realm.

Before long, the three of them landed at the entrance of the gambling den.

Inside, Li Hao was already getting impatient.

He only recognized one of the people who came over, Ma Yuan, and Wang Yizhou was not among them, which made him a little strange.

While they were wondering what was going on, He Yan walked in and carefully examined Li Hao.

He was genuinely surprised to discover that Li Hao was only at the Returning Origin Realm.

Someone at the Returning Origin Realm can become Wang Yizhou's honored guest? Are you kidding me?

Could it be that the honored guest is just a facade, and this Li Hao has another identity?

Could he be an illegitimate child?!

Thinking of this, He Yan felt even more delighted.

If he really is Wang Yizhou's illegitimate son, then that would be perfect.

If he fails to meet his targets and condones his illegitimate son's murder, he can secretly manipulate the situation and Wang Yizhou will definitely be ousted. Then, the position of Grand Tower Master will be his!

Thinking of this, he cleared his throat and said to Li Hao, "Li Hao, do you know your crime?"

Li Hao was still wondering who this person was when suddenly he heard someone say, "Do you know your crime?" which completely baffled him.

"Holy crap, who the hell are you?"

He Yan snorted coldly and said, "I am He Yan, the tower master of the eastern branch of Dongli Continent. Your act of violence and injury in the City of Never Sleeps has violated the rules of the City of Never Sleeps."

"Confess your crimes and submit to the law now to avoid physical punishment!"
