Chapter 1079: Chapter 680: The Ultimate Expert_3
Chu Mo knew that the old man in front of him couldn’t fully trust the four major families. He was worried that once he left, the four people before him would eventually harbor thoughts of rebellion. By then, a naive Liu Liu would truly have no power to resist against these four crafty old foxes.
Only Chu Mo was able to barely suppress the four, causing them to have concerns. Even if they rebelled, they would have to pay a certain price.
The reason the old man asked Chu Mo for help in front of them was actually a warning to them not to act rashly.
But when Chu Mo’s gaze landed on the four top experts before him, even with Chu Mo’s status and position, he felt apprehensive at the bottom of his heart for a moment.
All four of them were middle-ranking Great Grandmasters, and among them, two were peak middle-ranking Great Grandmasters. Soon, the Family Head of the Hua family, Hua Zhenyu, would even advance to be an upper-ranking Great Grandmaster. The strength of these four was such that any one of them could compete with Chu Mo, as the strongest person by Chu Mo’s side was only Qin Lan who had just recently progressed to being a middle-ranking Great Grandmaster. Even if Qin Lan and the introductory Grandmaster Lei Ting joined forces, they would not necessarily be a match for any of these individuals.
Under such circumstances, for Chu Mo to face these four alone, even he felt a sense of helplessness.
...
Therefore, this time, Chu Mo did not immediately agree. He glanced lightly at the old man before him but began to think. If the old man had not left any backup plans or even a little means to restrain these four, then even Chu Mo would only be able to give up on Liu Liu and leave her to fend for herself.
Otherwise, even if Chu Mo intervened, it would at most result in a scenario where both fish die and the net splits.
This was a deal that Chu Mo was absolutely unwilling to make.
However, if the old man eventually had a backup plan that could secretly control the four and was confident enough to ensure that the four would not rebel, Chu Mo wouldn’t mind lending a hand to Liu Liu. After all, having an additional spokesperson worth thirty-five billion was also a good choice.
Thus, at this moment, Chu Mo did not immediately agree to the old man. He was waiting, waiting for the old man to give him an answer, to give him peace of mind.
The booth fell silent for a moment, and just then, a large crowd suddenly entered the café from outside. This turned the already full café instantly crowded, causing some to leave while others who didn’t want to go chose to share tables with other guests.
Chu Mo’s group was near the window, occupying the biggest seating area, but there were still a few seats left beside Chu Mo and the old man. The three girls standing by the door hesitated for a moment, but eventually headed towards the seats by the window.
“Could we… rest here for a bit?”
The previously oppressive atmosphere was disrupted, and the appearance of the three girls made the tense atmosphere at Chu Mo’s side much more relaxed. Chu Mo, feeling uncertain how to respond to the old man across from him, found the tension broken and smoothly gestured:

“Feel free!”
The only seats available were next to Chu Mo and the old man. However, the three fashionable and beautiful girls clearly did not want to sit next to the occasionally coughing old man, so they naturally chose to sit on Chu Mo’s side. Originally meant for three people, the space now squeezed in four. It was somewhat crowded, but fortunately, the girls were slender and also good-looking, so even though it was a bit cramped, Chu Mo did not object.
At that moment, one of the girls suddenly turned to Chu Mo and asked:
“Are you fans of Wang Guangju as well?”
