CHAPTER 42: Are There Really Such Brothers?
Young Master Wei had a meaningful smile in his eyes as he looked at Chu Yang and said, "Come on, let's talk at my place."
At Young Master Wei's residence, he set up a feast and drank with Dong Wushang and Chu Yang.
Although Dong Wushang had long heard of Young Master Wei's notorious reputation, today was the first time they met; however, he remained calm and composed, neither servile nor overbearing, maintaining his true self.
Young Master Wei intentionally glanced at Dong Wushang a few times before turning to Chu Yang and said, "I've seen a few of your brothers. I must say, you have a good eye; the friends you've chosen are quite remarkable."
He smiled slightly and added, "Among them, the one with the most potential is this one right here, along with that kid from the Gu Family; but the other three are also rare talents!"
Given that Young Master Wei is a top figure in the Central Third Heaven, his words indicate just how much he values Chu Yang's brothers!
Chu Yang remained silent, but his eyes revealed pride! He intentionally lowered his head to hide the pride in his eyes.
My brothers, my pride!
Dong Wushang felt a surge of warmth in his heart; as he drank with these two, he naturally had to pay attention to everything around him, and he clearly saw the pride and satisfaction in Chu Yang’s eyes.
He suddenly felt an urge to cry!
Who would be proud of themselves? Certainly, parents; that is guaranteed.
But this kind of pride, aside from parents, he only saw today. Moreover, the other party was still concealing it...
His elder brother was also proud of him, but every time he achieved something significant, there was always a mix of pride, pride, and apprehension in his elder brother's eyes—a complex emotion.
Dong Wushang knew what his elder brother was concerned about; however, he did not want to mention it. He never intended to vie for the position of patriarch. He suspected, just like his elder brother; if not, he would still help him. Because his surname is Dong!
As a patriarch, not having such a wary mindset would be a failure; it would not make one a good patriarch. So Dong Wushang understood; but understanding does not mean he felt good! After all, being suspected by one's own brother, who would feel good about that? Especially when he was completely sincere...
Looking at Chu Yang, Dong Wushang lowered his head, saying nothing, with his hair falling down to shield his eyes. He raised his neck and drank the wine in his cup together with this precious brotherly bond deep into his heart!
His heart was ablaze.
"You have so many brothers, and they are good brothers, so you certainly won't be content with loneliness," Young Master Wei said. "Since you have come to the Central Third Heaven, you must have your own position; you, Chu King of Hell, will not be willing to stay beneath others, right? Neither your brothers' families nor Anzhuzhu can hold you back! Is that correct?"
"Yes," Chu Yang admitted straightforwardly.
"So, you are using this gambling game to provoke a shift in power, allowing yourself to smoothly fish in troubled waters," Young Master Wei narrowed his eyes, yet the sharp light within them gazed intensely at Chu Yang. "Sometimes, I really don't understand how you can so perfectly seize every opportunity!"
Chu Yang smiled, "Aren't you Anzhuzhu also using this gambling game to create chaos? So that your bamboo can sprout from new fields? Therefore, this five hundred million taels is indeed a great favor, but whether I accept it or not, regardless of the outcome of the gamble, your gains will far exceed this five hundred million, won't they?"
Young Master Wei stared at him for a while, suddenly laughing, "Chu King of Hell truly lives up to the name."
"Moreover, is the Gao Family intentionally blowing this matter up simply to steal a bride? It is common knowledge that Gao Sheng does not like Huyan!"
Chu Yang chuckled coldly, "The four young masters of the Ao Family, Mo Clan, Xie Clan, and Ou Clan are manipulating the gambling game; are they really just doing it for the silver? Do all the major families participate in the competition just to help these two steal a bride?"
