Chapter 277 - 0276-0277: Casually Catching a Punch_2
Duan Shaojie’s heart sank, thinking Chu Ge was indirectly rejecting his proposal. He said gravely, "Mr. Chu, Ghost Poison Sect also seems to have grievances with you, right? If the Ghost Poison Sect ultimately controls the Duan Family, I can simply abandon my ambitions and live a safe life. But, I’m afraid Ghost Poison Sect won’t easily let you off, will they?"
"Are you threatening me?" Chu Ge’s gaze turned icy as he looked at Duan Shaojie and said coldly.
Duan Shaojie’s breath hitched, feeling as if he was being targeted by a ferocious prehistoric beast, his heart even skipped a few beats.
"No, Mr. Chu, I was merely analyzing the situation for you, there was absolutely no threat intended!" Finally, when Chu Ge’s aura subsided, Duan Shaojie hurriedly explained while panting heavily.
However, this time, his gaze towards Chu Ge was no longer that of a partner but filled with faint fear!
On Chu Ge’s side, he swirled his wine glass, looking at the bloody red liquid silently for a few seconds before saying, "I can help you, but you need to do me a small favor."
"Huh?" Hearing this, Duan Shaojie’s spirits lifted, and he quickly said, "Please tell me, Mr. Chu!"
"The two hundred seventy-seventh Chapter."
"Simple, is there a Jade Pendant in your family’s ancestral hall?" Chu Ge looked directly into Duan Shaojie’s eyes and asked.
"Jade Pendant?" Duan Shaojie furrowed his brows, recalling briefly before nodding, "Yes, I remember now. Indeed, there is one. It’s said to be handed down by our ancestors and contains a huge secret. However, generations have been unable to decipher it, and assumed it was merely a legacy of our ancestors, so it has always been kept in the ancestral hall, worshipped alongside the Duan Family ancestors."
