"What, that gambling mogul didn't do that?!" Upon hearing Zuo Dahai's words, Luo Chao couldn't help but exclaim, "That doesn't make sense. Could it be that this gambling mogul who's been in the underworld for so long still doesn't understand that less trouble is better than more trouble? Has he gone senile, unable to weigh pros and cons?"

"Heh heh." Zuo Dahai couldn't help but sneer. At this moment, they were stopped at a red light. While waiting, Zuo Dahai turned his head and looked at Luo Chao seriously, saying, "Senile? If he were senile, could he calmly strategize in front of hundreds of black men?!"

"True, if he were senile, he wouldn't have conducted such brilliant command!" Luo Chao found Zuo Dahai's words quite reasonable.

At the same time, Luo Chao also became increasingly curious about that gambling mogul's actions.

Thus, Luo Chao couldn't help but ask, "Then why didn't that gambling mogul even want to give those black men eight thousand US dollars? Doesn't he understand that you can spend money to avoid disaster?"

"Brother Luo Chao, you might not know this, but it's not your fault. After all, this is your first time hearing this story. I was much more surprised than you when I first heard it; I even thought it was completely fabricated. How could such an outrageous and bizarre thing happen in the world!"

"Thinking about it now, although I was already a prominent figure in Huahai City at the time, I still knew too little about the underworld's ways. Your performance today is incomparably better than mine back then! And you're only in your early twenties; I was in my thirties and forties!" Zuo Dahai looked at Luo Chao, unable to help but sigh.

"Heh heh, Brother Zuo, you're too kind. It's just that my past work often involved dealing with underworld matters, as one might say, professional skill has specialization. I might be well-versed in this field, but in your area of expertise, I'm probably still a novice!" Luo Chao humbly replied to Zuo Dahai's praise.

In reality, as a Soldier King of Huaxia's Dragon Fang Team, Luo Chao had not only encountered many strange people and events in the underworld but also mastered countless skills with his versatile abilities!

However, as the saying goes, it was unintentional on the speaker's part but deliberate on the listener's; when Zuo Dahai heard Luo Chao say that his past work often involved dealing with the underworld, Zuo Dahai was increasingly confident that Luo Chao could help him take revenge.

Zuo Dahai knew that the enemy he had to face was resourceful beyond imagination, and merely relying on legal means was absolutely impossible for revenge against such a powerful figure.

In this complex and ever-changing world, sometimes the only way to succeed is by relying on underground, illegitimate means!

Breaking the rules, paving a new path, is also a way to achieve success!

Thinking of this, after exchanging compliments and modesty with Luo Chao, Zuo Dahai turned his attention back to the road and focused on driving as the red light turned green.

At this moment, Zuo Dahai's mood matched the green light at the intersection—smooth and unimpeded. He knew that after years of endurance, his opportunity had finally arrived!

Thus, as he drove, Zuo Dahai continued talking to Luo Chao, "I know you're curious why that gambling mogul wouldn't even pay a mere eight thousand dollars. Actually, let me tell you, he had a rather peculiar habit."

"No, it's not a habit; it's more like a very special rule. This rule was set by him, and it only applied to him, but he adhered to it strictly. You could say that this rule was his life credo!"

"A rule?" Luo Chao felt stunned upon hearing this. Meanwhile, an image gradually formed in his mind of a middle-aged man with a short haircut wearing a dark green army coat.

Despite this figure's relatively short stature, he stood straight, and he held a more than one-meter-long ancient Tang Blade in his hand.

This figure was the silhouette of Master Liu.

Master Liu was the protagonist of a profoundly moving film that Luo Chao had watched before.

This Master Liu, despite being an old rogue himself, had his own set of principles for dealing with people and matters.

Moreover, Master Liu also set these principles himself.

However, Master Liu liked to make others abide by his rules; otherwise, things wouldn't be orderly, and he would look down on them.

At first, when Luo Chao watched this movie, he thought Master Liu was nothing more than an old scoundrel with skewed values.

But one day, Luo Chao accidentally watched the movie again, and during his second viewing, he saw something different in it.

For some reason, during his second viewing, Luo Chao suddenly found Master Liu to be a person of great spirit!

No matter how times change, I stick to my principles. The rules I set are here; although I might force you to obey, if you choose not to, I won't hold it against you.

Even if you don't follow them and ridicule me, since I made these rules, I must abide by them myself!

The philosophy of this movie unexpectedly revealed to Luo Chao a hint of the true essence of the Dao!

After finishing the film for the second time and gaining that slight insight into the truth of the Dao, Luo Chao immediately felt a disturbance in his body's energy.

Having practiced cultivation since childhood, Luo Chao knew this sensation indicated a potential increase in his internal energy.

So, Luo Chao hurriedly cultivated, and after a night, indeed, through watching that movie, he found that the next morning, his cultivation had improved slightly!

Watching a movie could advance his cultivation; Luo Chao found this very mysterious, so the memory of this event etched deeply into his mind.

Now, at this moment, when Luo Chao heard the word "rule" again, he vaguely felt in his heart that today's opportunity might also enhance his cultivation!

Thinking of this, Luo Chao's expression changed slightly, and he urged Zuo Dahai repeatedly because he couldn't wait to learn about the gambling mogul's unique rule in Zuo Dahai's story!

Seeing Luo Chao's eagerness, Zuo Dahai naturally didn't hold back and began to continue his story...
