Lu Shu rose his eyebrows after hearing what Zhao Shuai said. What was meant by an unexpected outcome?
He turned and smiled to Liu Yizhao and Li Heitan, "He is threatening me."
After his sentence, Liu Yizhao and Li Heitan had surrounded Zhao Shuai. Johnson, the Bishop and Anthony waited quietly underground and Zhao Shuai did not dare to move…
"We can discuss this nicely!" said Zhao Shuai. His initial intention was to scare the Wei Wu Army. After all, ordinary armies would not dare to offend them since they came from the palace.
However, Zhao Shuai realized that the Wei Wu Army was different. They were serious about beating people up!
However, Zhao Shuai did not understand why there were so many f*cking Rank One individuals in the Wei Wu Army!
Lu Shu smiled, "Do you know how to discuss this nicely now?"
Zhao Shuai nodded. "Yes!"
"You came from the palace?" asked Lu Shu.
"Yes, I am the chief officer of the Song gambling den," explained Zhao Shuai, "As the gambling dens in the palace have placed bets on you, I am tasked with checking out the details so I can change the rates accordingly."
Lu Shu was stunned. "Put a bet on us? Why did the gambling dens of the palace care about the Wei Wu Army?"
"Yeah, I also f*cking want to know why… Hold on, don’t hit me!" said Zhao Shuai, "Now that the Wei Wu Army is famous, many of the people in the palace have their attention on you. The gambling den would definitely be interested since everyone would be interested in money, right?"
Suddenly, Zhao Shuai said, "After I am captured, you can discuss about the ransom with the Song gambling den. They will be willing to pay a large sum of money."
Lu Shu’s eyes lit up. "How much?"
"Millions of notes!" said Zhao Shuai.
Lu Shu immediately took note of an important point. "There must be more than one gambling den in the palace, did the other gambling dens also send people over?"
Zhao Shuai was stunned. What did Lu Shu want? Was he being serious? Did he want to capture others to exchange for ransom?
Lu Shu made Zhao Shuai contact the Song gambling den from the palace so that his ransom could be delivered. After a long discussion between Zhao Shuai and the Song gambling den, they promised to pay the ransom three days later.
The gambling den was not independent. The Song gambling den belonged to the Song aristocrat. He had other businesses all around the Luniverse.
That was the background of an aristocrat, a true aristocrat.
Therefore, upon receiving the news, the boss of the Song business sent millions of notes over.
The person-in-charge of the gambling den felt like breaking down as the den had loss a huge sum before they even started business. He did not understand why others had to capture the people of their gambling den as all they did was to take a look at what was happening at Lu Shu’s side.
Lu Shu said happily, "Zhao Shuai, are you unhappy with being captured alone? Are you angry with the loss of money of the Song gambling den?
Zhao Shuai looked at Lu Shu and
"You get a share!" Lu Shu said proudly.
There were four Rank One experts in the Wei Wu Army. However, according to Zhao Shuai, five Rank One experts arrived. Therefore, Lu Shu was playing with fire because he would not be able to handle it if the five people sent as scouts teamed up against him.
Even the Black Feather Army did not dare to anger the people sent as scouts. However, the Wei Wu Army triggered them…
Zhao Shuai was wondering if any army dared to trigger them. To his horror, Wei Wu Army acted like bandits and captured the team without caring about their ident.i.ty.
However, Lu Shu thought that the five gambling dens were not united and therefore the five chief officers were not united too. If they were united, they would only send one of them over and did not need to pay the price of sending five?
Therefore, as long as he did not trigger too many people at once, he should be safe.
In the worst case scenario, he would force himself to break free from the shackles and eat the fruits. Lu Shu had already noticed that the shackles were loose.
At this moment, the chief officers heard news that Zhao Shuai was safe because the gambling den had paid the ransom.
This became a joke amongst the gambling dens. It was a huge joke because Zhao Shuai, the chief officer of the palace’s gambling den was caught by the Wei Wu Army!
Zhao Shuai did not return to the palace after being released. Instead, he found a place nearby to rest and waited patiently.
After a few days, news arrived saying that the chief officer of the Lin gambling den was also caught…
Then, there was another sequence of events of asking for ransom and releasing the person.
After another few days, the chief officer of the Yun gambling den also got caught…
It was rumored that the chief officer of the Yun gambling den was about to leave when he was caught. However, he was forcefully caught again after he was more than 300 miles away from the mountain.
He almost broke down at that moment. He did not manage to hide from danger after such a long time? The Wei Wu Army was incredible!
After this happened, the other chief officers of the two gambling dens returned to the palace immediately. They would rather not do the business and protect their reputation!
The experts in the gambling den came prepared and wanted to make use of this moment to get their money. However, the Wei Wu Army did not even bother to fight with the Black Feather Army and was busy catching the chief officers of the gambling den…
There were more than five gambling dens in the palace but only the five of them sent their chief officers over.
Therefore, when the chief officers got into trouble, the other gambling dens started to bet on who would be captured next…
At this moment, the commander of the Black Feather Army was notified about this. He did not want to care about the uncontrollable Wei Wu Army but he had to care about them or he would not be able to advance to the north.
However, the Wei Wu Army was capable of capturing Rank One experts and this confused him…
At this moment, another familiar-looking guest arrived at the King Lu Mountain. Lu Shu smiled as he looked at Zhao Shuai, "Why did you return?"
Zhao Shuai said calmly, "I know you like to make money. Why don’t we collaborate and become the bookmaker? Since the bets taken by the palace is becoming larger, the profits we could make out of this is immense."
"I want 50 percent," said Lu Shu while smiling, "pa.s.s it to me in the form of armor and weapons!"
The Song family were smart. After seeing how Lu Shu captured the chief officers to exchange for money, they knew that the Wei Wu Army would exchange their lives for money, therefore, what was wrong with earning money together? Aristocrats only became aristocrats as they knew how to achieve a win-win outcome!
Lu Shu, on the other hand, had been waiting for a long time. He wanted to see if anyone from the gambling dens were willing to collaborate with him. After the collaboration, the Wei Wu Army would have a say on who was the winner.
However, he did not have a use for so many notes. Therefore, he asked for armor and weapons instead!
Although he managed to obtain many weapons before this, the weapons were nothing special and that disappointed Lu Shu greatly. With the ordinary armor, Lu Shu began to think about the magical weapons…
After all, the power of the Wei Wu Army was still increasing and Lu Shu wanted to match their power with their weapons. He could get more benefits only after the Wei Wu Army grew more powerful…
