Chapter 555 He Won’t Feel Glad to Hear That
Gao Ge returns with his decision. If Zhao Kan dares to crack a joke by saying that something is wrong with Jiangnan City, he must kill this man.
He must torture Zhao Kan cruelly to death.
“I thought you didn’t know that?”
Zhao Kan says with a bitter smile, “I didn’t know indeed. It is only a guess based on some information. By now I am still not sure about it.”
Gao Ge slightly frowns and snorts, “You are still not honest enough.”
Zhao Kan is slightly stunned.
Gao Ge stares at him without blinking.
Gazed by Gao Ge, Zhao Kan is perturbed without rhyme or reason, though he has no idea what on earth he has done...
“Go out first,” Zhao Kan turns around to stare at the Zhao Family and says.
The Zhao Family gaze at each other in speechless despair.
Obviously, they don’t want to.
Without hesitation, Gao Ge kills a person of the Zhao Family with a slash of the sword.
The rest of the Zhao Family all hasten to get out.
“Are the Zhao Family mules?” Gao Ge asks with a sigh, “Do you mind?”
He asks so casually and briskly as if he had lit up a cigarette in front of non-smokers instead of killing a man of the Zhao Family before Zhao Kan.
“No,” Zhao Kan says calmly.
It will be good enough as long as he can achieve his aim.
Actually, if it were not for Gao Ge, he would have taken action himself then.
There are three corpses on the ground. Gao Ge, Yue Xincheng and Zhao Kan continue drinking tea as if nothing had happened.
The tea is a bit cold now, but Gao Ge and Yue Xincheng, who are not arty people, can’t be bothered to care about that.
For them, tea is only something that can quench the thirst. Notably, good tea and bad tea are greatly different. After all, now Gao Ge and Yue Xincheng are not short of money. Hence, they do pay attention to the quality of tea.
“When the man of the Poison Sect came to us, we were already rather curious. They only wanted us to force you to leave Jiangnan City by all means. However, our master didn’t agree with him. After all, it is thanks to you that he joined the Dragon Court. Besides, it is not a good thing to offend you,” Zhao Kan takes a deep breath and says.
Gao Ge says with a smile, “Then Zhao Xing was poisoned and the man threatened you with his life, right?”
Zhao Kan nods his head and says, “I say so definitely not to justify my family. After all, we’ve done the deed and we are wrong indeed, so it is reasonable that you want to target at my family. We cannot ask you to forgive us just because we were forced.”
Hearing Zhao Kan’s words, Gao Ge nods his head with satisfaction.
Yue Xincheng also says in relief, “Well, you are the most sensible one among the Zhao Family.”
“Thank you.” Zhao Kan looks very helpless.
“Go on. Go on.” Yue Xincheng bursts out laughing.
Zhao Kan takes a deep breath, pours another cup of tea for himself to soothe his throat and continues talking, “You know what happened then. That’s all. It was our reluctant action, but I’ve been noticing why the man tried his best to make you leave Jiangnan City. Eventually, I found some clues.”
“Why didn’t you tell us before?” Yue Xincheng asks with a frown.
Gao Ge takes a glance at Yue Xincheng and explains for Zhao Kan, “Actually, it is quite simple. Maybe there is something great to emerge in Jiangnan City. Thus, you were thinking that if you didn’t tell me, you might have a chance of gaining some benefits when the man of the Poison Sect was killed. Am I right?”
Zhao Kan feels rather embarrassed to be seen through by Gao Ge. He blushes and replies with a forced smile, “It is insignificant...”
Gao Ge smiles with an aura of complacency.
Zhao Kan looks aside and continues talking. He knows that Gao Ge doesn’t like those who keep others guessing. Since he has decided to come clean, he may as well tell everything for once.
“Afterwards, I heard that perhaps something unusual happened to Mount Duanlong. It is said that some strange light was found near Mount Duanlong with some occasional leaking of aura.”
“Mount Duanlong?” Gao Ge is a bit shocked.
He and Yue Xincheng make eye contact and both see a glint of shock in each other’s eyes.
Zhao Kan gets excited about that.
“The news has not been known by a lot of people by far, so I start to suspect that maybe the secret realm of Mount Duanlong will be opened again.”
Gao Ge disagrees in his heart.
How can the secret realm of Mount Duanlong be opened again?
Those who are not in the know may really believe it or have some guesses, but Gao Ge knows that it is absolutely impossible. The opening of every secret realm is a big issue. Moreover, without doubt, every secret realm is opened in a different place.
Zhao Kan has thought too much.
However, Gao Ge cannot voice it out, or he will arouse suspicion.
“I thought as long as our master was healed, he could take a trip to Mount Duanlong and gain some lucky chance. Once he becomes stronger, our current assets are not a big deal then,” Zhao Kan says.
Gao Ge grins, “You are quite honest.”
Zhao Kan says with a bitter smile, “It is not a matter about honesty. The point is that given the current situation, I cannot hide it from you even if I want to.”
Gao Ge stands up.
Zhao Kan hurriedly stands up, too.
After a while, he finally hears the wanted answer from Gao Ge.
“Take me to check on Zhao Xing.”
“Okay!” Zhao Kan almost bursts out crying.
Gao Ge is on the opposite side of the Zhao Family but Zhao Kan likes his character very much.
Now Gao Ge can go back on his words, but he doesn’t. Instead, he is still willing to help Zhao Xing.
Therefore, Zhao Kan feels that Gao Ge does have principles, but he is cruel and black-hearted as well.
However, it is unfair to say that Gao Ge is a treacherous villain because he is trustworthy somehow.
In the end, Zhao Kan makes a final assessment of Gao Ge.
As to Gao Ge, you may hate him but you have to respect him regardless.
Gao Ge follows Zhao Kan out of the room. The Zhao Family wanted to ask Zhao Kan what he said to Gao Ge, but after being stared at by Gao Ge, they quickly retreat.
After seeing Zhao Xing, Gao Ge sits by his bed and asks Zhao Kan, “Why are you certain that I can cure him?”
“It’s worth trying,” Zhao Kan says with a bitter smile, “At worst, to cure a dead horse as if it is living.”
Gao Ge thinks that Zhao Xing won’t feel glad to hear that.
