The moans of the bodyguards sprawling across the marble floor were dismissed as nothing more than a passing breeze by Lucas. Even so, the continuous interference from these mortals was beginning to stir a tinge of annoyance in his mind.

Maintaining focus while controlling Qi Manifestation required absolute concentration, especially in this filthy mortal realm. The Earth's atmosphere was dreadfully scarce in pure spiritual energy, causing the energy reserves within Lucas's newly awakened dantian

Lucas stood at the threshold, sweeping his gaze across every corner of the underground Colosseum without a single hint of surprise. The roaring chaos of the hellish pit below couldn't even manage to shake his ice-calm expression.He tilted his head slightly toward the one-eyed youth beside him, then gently patted Goro's shoulder."Thanks for bringing me here, Goro," Lucas said calmly, his voice soft yet radiating genuine firmness. "Your guidance has been very helpful."Goro chuckled softly, crossing his arms over his chest as he looked Lucas up and down. "Save your thanks for when you're still breathing after your first match, friend."Knowing full well that the sharply dressed man's ultimate goal was to fight immediately and break through to the upper ranks of the Colosseum, Goro flicked his hand, signaling Lucas to follow him as he turned into a dimly lit side corridor."Follow me. If you're really serious about gambling with your life tonight, we need to pass through the administra

Lucas's calm whisper suddenly cut through the boisterous laughter of the crowd. Each criminal around the stall felt as though a blade of ice was grazing their necks, instantly choking off their fierce laughter in their throats.Before anyone could retaliate or spark bloodshed...TAP!A firm pat landed on Lucas's left shoulder."You've either got a death wish or you're just plain stupid to stand here all alone, kid," said a heavy, rasicly toned voice that broke the tension in the air.Lucas wasn't surprised. His instincts had caught the young man's presence a step before his hand touched the lapel of his suit jacket. Lucas turned his head slightly, gazing at the young man now standing beside him.The young man had a sturdy build, wearing a sleeveless leather vest that revealed dozens of whip scars across his arms. His messy hair was carelessly tied back, and his left eye was covered by a black leather eyepatch. Yet, his right eye emitted the sharp glint of a warrior wolf that had taste

Not long after...The black sports car finally came to a halt on a dimly lit street corner, creeping silently among the shadows of frail, aging buildings. Lucas switched off the V8 engine. Instantly, the oppressive silence of the isolated industrial area on the West side of the city swallowed the fading roar of the engine.The stench of rust, rotting mud, and heavy humidity instantly stung his nose as Lucas stepped out. The place indicated by Richard Vance genuinely looked like a dead zone—an abandoned slaughterhouse complex surrounded by rusted corrugated iron fences and dangling, decayed chains.However, contrary to what one would expect from a blood-letting ground belonging to the largest criminal syndicate, not a single muscular guard or armed man patrolled the outside. There were no checkpoints, and no surveillance cameras glowed on the weathered corners of the roof. It was as if the place were truly just an empty, forgotten building.Lucas was not fooled in the slightest. His ex

Silence descended upon the luxurious study. Shards of porcelain and a puddle of warm tea on the floor stood as silent witnesses to Richard's overflowing fury. Amidst the increasingly oppressive atmosphere, Lucas stood tall and steady. His cold eyes showed not a shred of fear in the face of the Vance family head's intimidation.With calm, deliberate movements, Lucas shifted his position slightly forward, subtly blocking Evelyn from her father's sharp glare."Mr. Richard, you've misunderstood," Lucas's voice sounded clear and composed, yet it sliced through the heavy tension in the air like a sharp blade. "I never intended to take Miss Evelyn to such a dangerous place. She will remain right here, safe under the protection of the Vance estate."Evelyn turned to him in shock, her eyes widening as she stared at Lucas's back. "Lucas! But I—""Enough, Evelyn," Lucas interrupted softly without turning his face away from Richard. "This is no longer just a matter of going out for a stroll or se

"I didn't say you have to cash it out in a single transfer tonight," Lucas interrupted coldly, cutting off Hyuga's panic before the man could become even more hysterical."I'm still generous enough. You can pay it off in installments over the next few months."Hyuga let out a sigh of relief for a split second, feeling like he'd caught a brief breath of air. However, Lucas's follow-up sentence instantly locked away that hope."But remember, Hyuga... this is a life-or-death agreement," Lucas whispered, leaning in slightly as he stared straight into the pupils of the God of Gamblers. "Any delay, any manipulation of the figures, or if you intend to run away with the money... I won't knock on your door to collect. I'll just come to take your life."The threat was delivered without emotion, without any explosive killing intent, but precisely because of that, its impact was a thousand times more terrifying. Hyuga knew for certain that the young man before him was capable of snapping his neck

Lucas wore a cold, subtle smirk upon hearing Hyuga's question. Slowly, he lowered the old man's body until the tips of his shoes touched the mahogany floor once more, though his grip on Hyuga's neck only loosened slightly, not letting go completely."It's simple," Lucas said in a relaxed tone, yet laden with heavy emphasis. "I want you to work with me. As the ruler of the underworld and the owner of the Empire Casino, your network is naturally vast and widespread. You can easily track capital flows and gather corruption evidence from high-ranking executives of major families."Hyuga, who was still desperately gasping for fresh air, instantly widened his eyes. Without hesitation, he grabbed Lucas's hand and shook his head rapidly, his expression painted with overwhelming panic."W-Wait! You've misunderstood, Sir!" Hyuga cried out in a hoarse voice and ragged breath."I-I'm not an underworld lord like you imagine! I don't have any kind of intelligence network!"Behind her mask, Evelyn f
