CHAPTER 257: CHAPTER 253: TRIAL TOWER

Shen Jialiang looked at Chu Chen and the others, his face as dark as if it could drip water. He gritted his teeth and said coldly, "It’s my fault for not recognizing your worth and offending you, I apologize to you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen frowned and said, "You’re acting like you’re about to eat someone. If you speak in that tone, I won’t let you leave."

Shen Jialiang almost fainted from anger when he heard this, but he took a deep breath to suppress his inner rage.

"I was wrong, I shouldn’t have provoked you, I apologize to you."

Only then did Chu Chen nod in satisfaction and say, "Hmm, that’s more like it. Alright, I’ll forgive you for now, you can leave."

Wang Lu and the others were already overjoyed, and they quickly chimed in, "Hurry up and leave, and remember to take a detour if you see us in the future."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jialiang and his group quickly got up and ran downstairs.

However, just as Shen Jialiang reached the staircase, he stopped in his tracks. He glared at Chu Chen and said coldly, "Kid, this isn’t over. You better hope you don’t meet me in the exchange competition, or I’ll make you wish you were dead." After saying that, he fled, fearing that Wu Yingxiong would stop him again.

Chu Chen shook his head helplessly at this. This Shen Jialiang really had a stubborn temper. Given the chance, he’d better deal with him early to avoid future trouble.

Chu Chen cupped his hand towards Wu Yingxiong and said, "Thank you, Brother Wu, for your help."

Wu Yingxiong waved his hand and said, "It was no trouble at all, no need to be polite."

At this moment, Steward Zhang came over. He looked at Chu Chen with a smile and asked, "This time, your total expense on the gamble was twenty million. This money should have been paid by Shen Jialiang, but he ran away. However, his Beast Taming Eggs rightfully belong to you. I wonder if you want to cash these eggs or take them with you."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Steward Zhang. Please wait a moment." With that, he waved over Wang Lu and the others.

Seeing this, everyone quickly gathered around.

"If any of those Beast Taming Eggs catch your eye, I’ll give you one, but I need the Ice Wind Elf for myself," Chu Chen said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Wang Lu and the others were overjoyed. Not only did they avenge themselves, but they also got some Beast Taming Eggs.

They didn’t hesitate and took all seven Perfect Quality Beast Taming Eggs.

Chu Chen then smiled and said to Steward Zhang, "Consider the remaining Beast Taming Eggs as part of the payment for the gambling fee. I’ll still give you another ten million, and the extra can be for a meal treat. After all, this gambling event caused you some trouble."

Hearing this, Steward Zhang waved his hand with a smile, "No need to be so polite."

Chu Chen made a quick calculation, and after paying the gambling fees, he should have about two million left.

Even though Steward Zhang might not care for that small amount, he still wanted to show his appreciation.

Steward Zhang was quite satisfied with Chu Chen’s gesture. The money didn’t matter much; it was the sentiment behind it that counted.

"You guys chat among yourselves; I’ll go take care of some matters." With that, Steward Zhang turned and left.

"Good move, Brother Chu," Wu Yingxiong said with a smile.

Chu Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Wu, you’ve misunderstood. I just got lucky."

Wu Yingxiong laughed heartily at this; such words might deceive a child, but he had no intention of exposing Chu Chen’s bluff. Instead, he took out two cards and said, "Here are two cards. One is a bank card with six hundred million, which is what you won. The other is a VIP card for our Wu Family Auction House. With this VIP card, you can enter the private box on the second floor."

Chu Chen was momentarily stunned but quickly came back to his senses, eagerly accepting the two cards.

Wu Yingxiong was showing goodwill, and he naturally accepted it.

"Thank you, Brother Wu," Chu Chen said with a smile.

"No need to thank me, I made quite a profit today. Let’s exchange contact details and collaborate more in the future. If you encounter any problems, feel free to come to me. Our Wu Family can handle minor issues in Cyan Dragon City," Wu Yingxiong said with a smile.

Chu Chen showed delight upon hearing this; it was an unexpected joy. As a genius cultivated by Cyan Dragon Daoist School, his first choice for college was Cyan Dragon Academy.

Now, establishing a good relationship with Wu Yingxiong would also provide some support when he goes to university in the future.

Chu Chen quickly added Wu Yingxiong’s contact information without delay.

Wu Yingxiong patted Chu Chen on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Alright, you carry on. I have things to attend to, so I’ll head out first." With that, he walked downstairs.

Li Dehai quickly followed up, but before leaving, he glanced at Chu Chen, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Chu Chen couldn’t help but frown at this. He found it quite puzzling why Li Dehai was hostile towards him.

Some Gambling Egg Masters looked at Chu Chen with envy. After all, the Wu Family wasn’t an ordinary force in Cyan Dragon City. With the Wu Family’s financial power and foundation, they’re among the top three families.

Of course, the one who envied Chu Chen the most was Wang Lingfeng. As a student of Cyan Dragon Academy, he was knowledgeable about matters in Cyan Dragon City.

He knew well the standing of the Wu Family in Cyan Dragon City. To call someone from such an illustrious family a brother was something he didn’t even dare to dream of.

He never imagined that Chu Chen, on just his second day in Cyan Dragon City, had achieved what he dreamt of.

While Chu Chen was pondering, Steward Zhang came over with a smile. He handed a Golden Card to Chu Chen and said with a smile, "You’ve spent twenty million this time, so according to the rules, I’ve made you a VIP card. When you visit Gambling Egg Pavilion in the future, you can directly go to the third floor."
