Chapter 94: The trial begins

Translated and Edited by: La0o9

She’s a Grandmaster weaponsmith with acute observation skills, since she’s finally interested in a man, of course she wouldn’t let go of any small details regarding him.

On the stands, everyone was breathing out in regret

Some were even discussing among themselves

“How is it?”

“From what I’ve felt, he hasn’t even used 10% of his strength yet, your subordinates would only be seeking their deaths”

“What if I ask for the Martial Eminence?”

“That would cost quite a bit, and the results are hard to predict”

“Hmm, then that’s that, just consider today’s money down the drain”

This gambler is also a smart person.

A small boat soon arrived to take Gu Qing Shan back to his boxed seat.

Du Guong Qiong used her hand to comb her bangs a bit, confirming that her appearance is fine before standing up and extended her hand: “Nice to meet you, I’m Du Guong Qiong”

Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.

This woman was the one I scared just now right, why did she come herself?

Gu Qing Shan looked at Zhang Ying Hao questioningly, while Zhang Ying Hao only shrugged.

He extends his hand to shake hers, saying: “I’m Gu Qing Shan, sorry for the matter just now”

Du Guong Qiong smiled gracefully, returned: “No matter, after all, people in your business are all like that, I understand”

Business? What business?

Gu Qing Shan again looked at Zhang Ying Hao.

Zhang Ying Hao turned around, looking down at the lake like he was interested in something down there.

“Do you have any business with me then?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Du Guong Qiong smiled again: “No business, I’m only here to say hello, I’ll be leaving——-“

She cut her words short.

Gu Qing Shan smiled back, asking: “Yes?”

Du Guong Qiong asked: “Your sword seems to be very special, your bow as well, I’m a professional weaponsmith in Fuxi Empire, if you ever need weapons, just come find me”

“Specifically, my expertise is in special weapons for Professionists” she added.

Gu Qing Shan felt her good will, thought a bit then said: “Then how about we exchange contact information?”

Du Guong Qiong eyes lit up a bit, that’s right, having the man say these words is the correct procedure.

She took out her Holo-Brain and exchanged contacts with Gu Qing Shan.

“Then I’ll take my leave, see you later” she said

“Yes, see you later” Gu Qing Shan replied.

It was only after Du Guong Qiong happily left that a servant stepped forward.

Different from the previous one, this servant is a firm and calm middle-aged man.

“Gentlemen, please wait here for a bit, my boss will see you shortly”

“Very well, we can wait”

Gu Qing Shan looked around to see everyone slowly leaving.

The servant also quickly left, went all the way to the top floor of the casino.

The entire capital nightscape is visible from here, and it’s also a room that’s furnished lavishly.

A large man with a mustache is sitting on the large sofa in front of the room, next two him were two beautiful girls, one massaging his shoulder, the other pouring him a drink.

If Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao were here, they’d notice, this was the Martial Eminence from before, on the lake.

“Boss, it’s finished” The servant said.

The Martial Eminence received a glass of strong wine with ice, shaking it.

The Martial Eminence thought for a bit, then said something hard to understand: “Very well, we’ll talk after they’ve all left”

It was now that two other servants arrived, reporting: “Boss, your guest have had her fun”

“Then bring her in” The Martial Eminence spoke.

A few minutes later, Du Guong Qiong was escorted here.

The Martial Eminence stood up and greeted: “Welcome, welcome, our distinguished Grandmaster weaponsmith”

“For what reason did you invite me here?” Du Guong Qiong asked straight.

The boss rubbed his hands: “I want to order myself a weapon ——-no, a full set of weapons”

“Then prepare the necessary funds, and show me your ability” Du Guong Qiong casually said.

“Of course, of course” the boss smiled and replied.

He turned on the surveillance TV, looking at the screen.

On the screen, all the people around the lake have left, there were only two young men silently sitting there.

“It’s them?” The Martial Eminence asked.

“Yes” a servant replied.

“Come, let’s go meet today’s grand prize winner” The Martial Eminence said.

Just as Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao were about to run out of patience, a huge mustached man came together with his men.

The only thing they didn’t quite expect was that Du Guong Qiong was also with him.

Du Guong Qiong only nodded her head and smiled as a greeting.

“Gentlemen, welcome to my casino, how was it, did you have fun?” The Martial Eminence sat down across them and asked.

“Martial Eminence sir, your attractions were truly exotic” Zhang Ying Hao praised him a bit.

A Martial Eminence’s status is very high, even he can’t face them with a rude attitude.

“It’s good that you had fun” The Martial Eminence said, then give them each a golden-colored card.

“This is the casino’s VIP card, it’s limited to only 30 at a time, I’m presenting each of you with one, from now on, whenever you come to play, you’ll get to enjoy a lot of extra services”

There’s also such good treatment?

Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao looked at each other, then both said: “Then we thank you”

The Martial Eminence then spoke: “That’s good, well I have a lot of business to attend to, so I won’t keep you, feel free to leave”

“Then sir, where do we receive our grand prize?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“About that” The Martial Eminence just waved his hands, “that’s only a business trick to attract customers, no need to think of it as real”

It’s not real? Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao were both surprised.

Gu Qing Shan looked at Zhang Ying Hao.

Zhang Ying Hao answered: “The black cat won’t lie”

Gu Qing Shan’s face changed.

He made so many concessions, just to finish the War God Quest, but he’s being made light of again and again. Even if his temperament is good, it’s very hard to not get angry right now.

The Martial Eminence looked at his expression, then lifted his lips into a mocking smile, saying: “What, do you want to blame this one for your loss?”

He leaned forward, showing a hint of blatant threat: “I’ve invited a Grandmaster weaponsmith here to make my weapon, but I just happen to lack a couple of human-shaped punching bags, would you like to try?”

A Martial Eminence’s destructive power isn’t something a normal 5-Elementalist and God’s Chosen can fight against.

If you talk about ranking, then a Martial Eminence is one step below a 4th stage 5-Elementalist, but in actual battle, as long as a Martial Eminence is willing to risk his life, he’ll be able to make a suicide attack with a 4th stage 5-Elementalist.

If a Martial Eminence wants to kill somebody, there are very few that can stop him.

Gu Qing Shan coldly laughed and spoke: “If you talk strength then I really have to call you a senior. But in the casino business, they say you only play if you can take the loss, you’re in the business yet you won’t respect its rules, then I ——–“

‘Also don’t need to respect you’ those six words didn’t escape his mouth yet; he didn’t even get to pull his sword before the Holo-Brain suddenly shook violently.

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but take out his Holo-Brain to check.

As he saw the text displayed on there, Gu Qing Shan’s knitted brows started to raise.

The killing intent in his eyes started to be replaced by surprise instead.

“Then you what?” the Martial Eminence cracked his knuckles and asked.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly stood up, saying: “We’re leaving”

“Huh?” Zhang Ying Hao was already prepared to kill, but was shocked by what he heard.

Gu Qing Shan pulled him away and didn’t even look back.

As the Martial Eminence saw that, he laughed mockingly: “They’re just a couple of soft bodies after all”

This clenched fists loosened.

“Just look, two young‘uns that think they’re right, at least they weren’t scared shitless by me, but in the end, my casino does welcome these types of lambs” The Martial Eminence said to Du Guong Qiong.

Du Guong Qiong only stood without saying anything, feeling that something was off.

Outside the casino.

Zhang Ying Hao eyes were opened wide looking at Gu Qing Shan’s personal Holo-Brain.

“Greetings, Confederate Aristocrat Zhang Ying Hao, I am Impartial Goddess, I ask that you back away from the screen. As the trial is about to begin, please keep your manners straight to maintain the solemnity of the Confederate Court”

“Court, trial?” Zhang Ying Hao was shocked

“A civil compensation case, regarding the compulsory delivery of personal property, of course, the specifics will be dealt with according to the creditor Gu Qing Shan’s will” Impartial Goddess replied.

“We will now begin the trail”

“In accordance to today’s betting ratios, sir Gu Qing Shan had put in a total of 1 billion Confederate credits, as such he should receive the following amount of winnings: 6 billion”

“In accordance to today’s betting ratio in the second round, sir Gu Qing Shan had put in a total of 6 billion Confederate credits, as such he should receive the following amount of winnings: 20 billion”

“Through surveillance video footage evidence and witnesses, the debtor refused to pay the corresponding credits. Using on-site monitoring as physical evidence, and my words as testimony in front of the court, in accordance to Confederate Judicial procedures, the defendant was tried in absentia. The judgement has been obtained, initiating compulsory civil compensation program”

“Debtor, Zhou Kai Wu, owned assets as follow....”

A long list.

“Sir Gu Qing Shan, please proceed with the property deliverance process”

As Impartial Goddess finished speaking, they were both stunned.

Zhang Ying Hao muttered: “This isn’t right. Since when does Impartial Goddess care about a casino’s business?”

Gu Qing Shan remained silent, then laughed.

He pointed at the top floor of the casino: “I want that floor first”

That should be the casino boss’ daily living space.

Impartial Goddess quickly replied: “From now on, that floor has become sir Gu Qing Shan’s personal property, after deducting handling fees, taxes and notary fees, you have 19,99841 billion left, please continue to choose”

Zhang Ying Hao doesn’t know if he’s imagining it or not, but Impartial Goddess’ tone seems to contain a bit of excitement, like someone about to watch a riot happens.

“Very well” Gu Qing Shan said, “I’ll pay the fees, help me demolish that floor”
