Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

As soon as the four masked thugs entered the casino, they revealed their ferocious nature.

He punched the guy who was leading the way to the ground, then ignored the shouts of the casino's thugs and went straight to the room where he exchanged chips.

Gao Zhao, looking relaxed, suddenly kicked the door open... but failed!

The door panel was extremely resilient, and the vibration made his feet feel slightly numb.

Yang Zhi blinked, wanting to kick the door open for Gao Zhao, but then felt he shouldn't steal the spotlight; perhaps he should let Gao Zhao try again...

"Useless!" Lu Zhishen's eyes were contemptuous and his tone disdainful. He swung his staff, and with a loud crash, the door shattered into pieces, and wood chips flew everywhere!

Gao Zhao was a little embarrassed and chuckled awkwardly, "Was it my kick that loosened the door first?"

"Yes, young master!" Shi Qian quickly echoed, trying to save face for him: "Without your kick, how could we have broken the door so easily!"

The two men inside, responsible for exchanging chips, were terrified by this sudden turn of events. Their faces turned ashen, and they cried out in alarm, "Who are you... Help! Someone has broken in!"

Without a word, Lu Zhishen strode in, grabbed two men by the collar with one hand each, and lifted them like two chicks, throwing them violently out the door.

"Clang!"

The two men fell heavily onto the floor tiles of the casino lobby, howling in pain.

The entire gambling den was instantly alarmed by the huge commotion.

The gamblers who were shouting and placing bets all stopped rolling their dice and chips, and turned to look at them. The noisy gambling den suddenly fell silent.

In the corridors and side halls, more casino thugs, alerted by the commotion, charged towards the scene, brandishing short sticks and iron rulers, shouting fiercely.

"Who came this scoundrel, daring to cause trouble in this den of iniquity!"

"They're asking for it! They're asking for death!"

"what……"

……

Several thugs who were nearby rushed forward first, but before they could finish their threatening words, Yang Zhi kicked them all away.

However, this enraged even more thugs, and twenty or thirty men roared and charged towards them.

"Throw the money out!" Gao Zhao whispered the order.

Shi Qian immediately grabbed a basket of copper coins and threw it out forcefully, shouting, "My master is kind-hearted; this is a reward for you!"

slam-la-

Copper coins were scattered all over the ground, rolling everywhere.

The gamblers, who had been stunned and dumbfounded just moments before, were instantly drawn to the money scattered on the ground. Their exclamations turned into chaos as many people disregarded their own safety and scrambled to grab the money, pushing and trampling each other. The gambling hall was thrown into turmoil in an instant, filled with noise and completely out of control.

"Don't steal it! Don't steal it!"

"Get out of my way, all of you!"

"This is casino money!"

……

The group of thugs were blocked by the crowd and could not get forward, so they could only shout and intimidate the gamblers.

However, these people were so enraged by their losses that they paid no heed to their threats and continued their looting spree!

The entire casino was instantly thrown into chaos.

Gao Zhao glanced at the chaotic scene, sneered, looked away, and waved his hand, saying, "Let's go! To their warehouse."

Lu Zhishen rushed forward first, followed closely by Shi Qian with the blueprints, who guided him.

With a few loud crashes, several more doors were smashed open, attracting a swarm of thugs guarding the passage. They roared and charged forward.

However, when Lu Zhishen swung his staff, everyone fell to the ground like wheat in autumn harvest.

At that moment, the thugs outside also rushed over through the chaotic crowd, carrying all sorts of weapons, their faces ferocious and filled with murderous intent.

These casino thugs were also tough guys, and they couldn't stand seeing someone acting so arrogantly in front of them. They immediately brandished their knives and clubs and attacked!

"Whoosh!"

With a flash of cold light, Yang Zhi drew his precious sword, and a series of crisp sounds rang out as the weapons in the hands of the thugs were snapped in two.

Everyone's eyes immediately cleared up!

This precious sword can cut through iron like mud, and even sever weapons. If it were to cut oneself, then…

"How much do you guys get paid a month? Is it worth risking your lives like this?" Gao Zhao scoffed, pointing to the room where the chips were exchanged. "There's money there, just go and take it. Just put it on my tab. Why risk your lives like this!"

The thugs thought it made sense; after all, what was the point of being a gangster if not to make money?

These four ruthless bandits are highly skilled in martial arts and are clearly not easy to deal with. If they kill us, we will suffer a huge loss. No matter how much money we are given, we won't live to spend it!

"Don't listen to this scoundrel's instigation!" The leader of the group pushed his way out from behind the crowd, gripping an iron sword, and roared fiercely, "If you retreat today, Manager Fu will definitely hold you accountable later, break your legs, and expel you from Tokyo!"

Upon hearing this, the thugs' expressions changed, and they hesitated. If these few bandits were not easy to deal with, then was the Worry-Free Cave easy to deal with?

"Well said!" While everyone was hesitating, Gao Zhao clapped his hands and shouted, pointing at the person in charge, "Come on, you take the lead! I'll give you a quick death!"

The person in charge immediately froze, silently took two steps back, and looked around as if he hadn't heard Gao Zhao's words.

But the people around me are so considerate!

Fearing the person in charge hadn't heard, he reminded him, "Would you lead us in a little push?"

The person in charge, blushing with embarrassment from the questioning, suddenly kicked out angrily, "If I hadn't sprained my ankle today, would I have allowed them to be so arrogant!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Then let's go!" Gao Zhao laughed and led Yang Zhi inside.

When they met up with Lu Zhishen, they arrived at the warehouse door. Yang Zhi swung his knife and stepped forward, working with Lu Zhishen to cut down the guards.

Then, with a single blow, they smashed the lock and rushed into the storeroom. There, they saw heavy camphor wood chests stacked one on top of another, with gold, silver, and copper coins neatly arranged. Jewelry and bolts of silk and satin were piled in the corners, making everything glitter and shine.

A row of more than ten large wooden cabinets with brass locks lined up against the wall, which were used to store account books, loan receipts, and other documents. Labels were also affixed to them, with names and places of origin written on them, and the names of students from the Imperial Academy, merchants from the marketplace, and local officials were faintly discernible.

Lu Zhishen's eyes lit up, and he turned to Gao Zhao, asking, "How will we divide it?"

"You can keep the heavy stuff; I'll just take some light things." Gao Zhao laughed and went straight to the box containing the pledge tickets, grabbing a handful and stuffing them into his pocket.

Lu Zhishen jumped up and cursed, "You son of a bitch, do you think I'm a fool? That pawn ticket is worth a whole box of copper coins, let's trade!"

Gao Zhao retorted sharply, "You're so petty! I told you to take the copper coins, but you took all the gold, silver, and valuables! We'll divide them outside!"

Lu Zhishen thought it made sense. He was strong and could carry more heavy things, while this kid was just a small dog and could only carry light things!

He was quite adept at these tasks, crushing the gold and silver utensils with his foot and stuffing them into a cloth bag. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he asked suspiciously, "Are you sure you'll share with me after we get out? You won't keep it all for yourself, will you?"

Gao Zhao was busy sorting and packing the loan documents, and didn't even bother to acknowledge him. That crude and ignorant monk was always judging others by his own petty standards… and the worst part was, he guessed quite accurately…

Just as the group was sweating profusely and beaming with the joy of a bountiful harvest as they rushed out of the gambling den, Fu Jin arrived with his men!
