Chapter 973 - Block the Way, Press for Answers
"Alright, if there’s nothing else, please make way for me." Iron Arm Fist Gu Tong wore an expression of determination to leave, as if he couldn’t care less what they thought. However, Gu Fan, Lord Xiong, and Mo Yun just smiled and shook their heads—it was obvious that they weren’t going to step aside.
Iron Arm Fist Gu Tong’s expression darkened, "Kid, don’t think you’re something special just because you beat me. I was going easy on you on the stage. If you don’t get wise, don’t blame me for not being nice."
"Great, fighting is simpler. Lord Xiong, please, make it quick." After Gu Fan spoke, Lord Xiong took a step forward, his formidable gaze seemingly telling Iron Arm Fist Gu Tong to cooperate nicely.
Based on intuition, Iron Arm Fist Gu Tong knew this elder was not someone to provoke. But for the sake of his dignity, he couldn’t back down and simply readied himself.
In the blink of an eye, the outcome was decided—Iron Arm Fist Gu Tong was pinned to the ground by his head, pressed down by Lord Xiong.
"My god, how can there be such a powerful expert." Iron Arm Fist Gu Tong felt no humiliation, only fear and unease. He struggled with all his might, but Lord Xiong’s strength was as immovable as a mountain, firmly holding him down, rendering him unable to move.
"Big brother, we don’t want to make things difficult for you, but if you won’t talk, it puts us in a tough spot too," Gu Fan said in a persuasive tone, making Iron Arm Fist Gu Tong realize he had no choice but to capitulate, "Alright, I’ll tell you, but you must never reveal that it was me who said it. The one behind the big gambling arrangements at the Martial Arts Competition this time is the owner of the World’s Number One Gambling House."
Gu Fan replied indifferently, "We already know about the World’s Number One Gambling House. Everyone knows who the bookie is. What we want to know is who else is pulling the strings behind the scenes."
After hesitating for a moment, Iron Arm Fist Gu Tong assessed the situation and the stakes involved, and finally revealed, "It’s the leader of Xuanjian Sect, it’s the Xuanjian Sect in cahoots with the World’s Number One Gambling House."
