Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas

Everyone came to their senses upon hearing Steward Sun's voice, and they all bowed to the elder, saying, "Greetings, Lord City Lord."

The elder waved his hand upon hearing this and said, "No need for formalities, everyone rise."

It was only then that Chu Chen got a clear look at the City Lord. This was an elder who appeared to be in his sixties, but his gaze revealed a depth far beyond his years. He wore a loose black robe, his posture was perfectly straight, showing no signs of age, and every gesture exuded the authority of one in a high position.

Li Dehai's face turned exceedingly unsightly. The City Lord had overheard his words just now, and it was clear that he was defending the reputation of the Gambling Egg Pavilion.

Even if Chu Chen was cheating, there was nothing he could do about it. If he continued to insist, he would offend the City Lord, and the Li Family would only suffer more.

Thinking of this, Li Dehai hurried over to the City Lord and whispered, "Lord City Lord, it was all a misunderstanding earlier. I did not mean to express disbelief; it's just that the probability seemed so low. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

The City Lord nodded upon hearing this and said, "Hmm, go on."

Upon hearing this, Li Dehai left as if he had been granted amnesty.

At this time, Chu Chen quietly inquired, "Gu Zhen, what is the City Lord's name, and what is his strength?"

Gu Zhen responded in a low voice, "The City Lord's name is Dong Hanyang, and it's said that he has reached the late stage of King Level strength."

Chu Chen was taken aback upon hearing this. The higher the level, the slower the progress, and the resource consumption is immense. Cultivating a late-stage King Level Guardian Beast requires unimaginable resources.

At this moment, Steward Sun came over, raising two bank cards and handing them to Chu Chen.

"Young man, what do you plan to do with your Beast Taming Egg?" Steward Sun asked with a smile.

Chu Chen waved his hand and replied, "I intend to take them all and give them away."

Steward Sun was stunned upon hearing this. If this Epic Level Beast Taming Egg were taken away, the City Lord might hold him accountable.

Before he could continue, some bystanders spoke up first, "Young man, I'm willing to offer twenty million. How about selling me your Beast Taming Egg?"

"Brother Zhou, that's unfair. You want to buy an Epic Level Upper Grade Beast Taming Egg for twenty million, like it's a cabbage. To show my sincerity, I'm willing to offer thirty million."

"Heh, Brother Wu, your sincerity isn't very high. I offer thirty-five million."

Members of various major families began bidding, and in a flash, the value reached forty-seven million without any sign of stopping.

At this moment, Dong Hanyang couldn't stand it anymore and lightly coughed, "Enough, if this young man doesn't want to sell, don't force him."

Everyone agreed upon hearing this, not daring to refute.

Seeing this, Dong Hanyang nodded in satisfaction and said, "You can all go now. I have some matters to discuss with this young man."

Everyone quickly left upon hearing this.

Lu Hongfei and others, however, did not leave.

"City Lord Dong, I'm from the Cyan Dragon Daoist School..."

Before Lu Hongfei could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Dong Hanyang.

"Enough, don't try to leverage the Cyan Dragon Daoist School against me; you can leave as well. Rest assured, I'm just here to chat with him, I won't make things difficult."

Lu Hongfei and his group could only cup their fists and leave upon hearing this, but before leaving, they gave Chu Chen a look as if wishing him good luck.

As Zhang Yuyan passed by Chu Chen, she whispered, "If you run into trouble, just say you're with Zhang Tianlong."

Chu Chen was stunned upon hearing this. Could it be that Zhang Yuyan is from Zhang Tianlong's lineage? That would explain it.

Zhang Yuyan did not intentionally lower her voice, and with Dong Hanyang's hearing, he naturally could hear it clearly.

At this moment, Dong Hanyang was equally shocked, staring hard at Zhang Yuyan, trying to find any sign of deceit in her expression.

However, her expression was calm, and even her eyes were clear. With all his experience, he could not detect any pretense.

Watching the young girl walk away, Dong Hanyang's heart was still unsettled.

"So she's from the Zhang Family, no wonder she has an Alliance Bank black card," Dong Hanyang murmured.

Once Chu Chen saw everyone had left, he opened his mouth to ask, "Greetings, Lord City Lord, may I ask what you need from me?"

Dong Hanyang, upon hearing this, didn't respond immediately; he scrutinized Chu Chen before smiling and saying, "Not bad, truly a case of heroes emerging from youth!"

Chu Chen was temporarily at a loss for words, wondering if this was some kind of strange proclivity as the other party started with praise.

Seeing this, Dong Hanyang lightly coughed and said, "Tell me, what method did you use in this gambling egg game?"

Chu Chen couldn't help but shake his head as he thought, "What will come, will come."

"Lord City Lord, this was my first time gambling eggs, I had no method, it was all based on luck," Chu Chen replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Dong Hanyang's smile disappeared and he spoke coldly, "Young man, do you think I'm easy to deceive?"

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen thought it was not good, realizing that Lord City Lord was even quicker to change expression than flipping a page. If he angered him, Chu Chen himself wouldn't be in a good position.

"Lord City Lord, your insight is indeed far-reaching, nothing can escape your discerning eyes," Chu Chen replied with a forced smile.

Dong Hanyang, upon hearing this, waved his hand and said, "Don't flatter me, quickly tell me how you managed it."

"There's really no method, I simply awakened a talent called Eye of Insight, which allows me to see detailed information about the Beast Taming Egg," Chu Chen said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Dong Hanyang's expression changed sharply. Fixing his gaze on Chu Chen, he asked earnestly, "Is this true?"

Chu Chen quickly replied, "I dare not deceive, and I ask Lord City Lord to see clearly."

Upon hearing this, Dong Hanyang suddenly revealed a joyful expression. He patted Chu Chen on the shoulder and said with a smile, "From now on, just call me Elder Dong."

Chu Chen was rather speechless upon hearing this, thinking the City Lord's face-changing was all too quick.

"Do you know why I placed the Beast Taming Egg of the Wind-Burst Snow Carving on the fifth floor?"

Chu Chen pondered briefly before answering, "Could it be to lure me in?"

Dong Hanyang chuckled and said, "You only got half right, my second purpose was to help the Black Mist Gambling Egg Pavilion with its promotion."

Chu Chen was startled upon hearing this and couldn't help but ask, "Why is that?"

"Sigh! Being the City Lord is not easy. If it weren't for the support of the Gambling Egg Pavilion in recent years, I wouldn't have held on for so long."

Chu Chen nodded upon hearing this and said, "You couldn't have found me just to say these things."

Dong Hanyang smiled and said upon hearing this, "Of course not, I came to discuss cooperation with you."

"You're not joking with me, are you?" Chu Chen said in some surprise.

Dong Hanyang shook his head upon hearing this and said, "Your feat today will spread throughout Black Mist City tomorrow. Do you think those big families won't come to you for the gambling egg method?"

Chu Chen's face sank upon hearing this, thinking briefly before saying, "What do you want me to do?"

Dong Hanyang chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Haha, I like working with smart people. I want you to help me go to a large city and gamble back a Beast Taming Egg of Immortal Quality, as long as it's combat type."
