The next day.

early morning.

"Brother Gao, did you sleep well last night?"

After meeting Qin Zhilong, the other party greeted him with a big smile.

"Thank you for your concern, Third Master. I rested quite well!"

After abandoning his plan to kill the Ma brothers last night, Gao Yan practiced his internal energy cultivation in his room, and his physique improved a little.

It reached 128 points.

It made him feel that he was getting closer and closer to the mid-stage of Dan Jin.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, a breakthrough is expected within the next two days.

"Then let's set off. The duel will take place in a village five kilometers away!"

Gao Yan and Qin Zhilong got into the back of an armored car, while Zhao Mei got into the passenger seat.

The driver was A-Shi, Qin Zhilong's bodyguard captain.

Myanmar is not like China.

Moreover, at this critical juncture, it is best to be cautious in everything we do.

The road leading to the village is in good condition.

In just over ten minutes, the convoy drove into a square inside the village.

Many luxury cars and military vehicles were already parked in the square.

Moreover, the entire village was completely surrounded by the troops under the command of the seven major clans.

To prevent any issues with a particular bookmaker, everything is interconnected, with each bookmaker having elements within the other.

They appear to be protecting each other, yet they are wary of one another.

After all, the profit generated by the jadeite rough stone business exceeds hundreds of billions a year.

No one can guarantee that others won't have the idea of ​​taking more or monopolizing it.

Unlike the previous gambling tournament.

All three warlords in this term have been replaced.

If today weren't the gambling tournament, the three warlords probably wouldn't have chosen a new leader so quickly.

A brief introduction.

The three newly emerged warlords were named Mu Yan, Wen Song, and Pan Mingbo.

Mu Yan is Muto's half-brother.

He was largely unknown during Muto's time in power.

Unexpectedly, after Muto's death, he successfully took over the power left behind by Muto.

Of course, he also promised many benefits for this.

Wen Song, on the other hand, was Hu Yuhai's adjutant. He was loyal to Hu Yuhai and was also very capable.

After Hu Yuhai's death, he used ruthless methods to defeat his competitors and successfully rose to power, becoming a new warlord.

As for Pan Mingbo, he was originally the most powerful officer under Ruan Xiong.

After Nguyen Hung's death, most people planned to support his son to take over. However, Phan Minh Pak led his troops and killed Nguyen Hung's son and all his supporters.

He appeared to have taken over Ruan Xiong's power, but in reality, only the 2,000-plus men who were originally under her command were truly loyal to him.

Apart from the three warlords.

The other two representatives of the bookmakers are Goro Miyamoto of the Miyamoto family and Choi Ji-ho of the Xiling Group.

The Ma brothers also came.

They didn't show any hatred towards Gao Yan.

But Gao Yan could sense the intense malice these two brothers harbored towards him.

However, he didn't take it too seriously.

Because in his eyes, these two brothers were already two dead men!

When the seven major bookmakers meet, they naturally engage in some pointless back-and-forth, especially since three of them have changed hands, making it possible to say four.

After all, the Ma family has already been wiped out.

The remaining Ma brothers are no longer as powerful as they used to be.

After the pulling was finished.

The gambling tournament has also begun.

In the first round, the seven major players each brought out their own raw stones to compete.

In the tense atmosphere, time gradually passed.

On the Qin family's side, Gao Yan was the main person in charge of the gambling match, and Tang Donglin and Kang Zicheng were extremely curious about the rough stone that Gao Yan had chosen.

Therefore, the two joined forces to cut the stone.

The result, of course, goes without saying.

In this round, the Qin family achieved the highest score of 100 points.

Because Kang and Tang discovered a piece of imperial green glass jadeite that was the size of a washbasin and of extremely high quality.

The Miyamoto family came in second, the Muto family third, the Xiling Group fourth, and two other warlords fifth and sixth. The Ma brothers fell to seventh.

This made the two brothers feel extremely frustrated.

After the Ma family was destroyed, the two brothers lost their foundation.

Although the army was recaptured.

However, finding a top-quality rough stone in a short period of time is quite difficult.

In the end, they could only find a rough stone to make up the difference.

Fortunately, the rough stone they brought still yielded a piece of icy jadeite; otherwise, they would have been utterly humiliated.

The first round of the competition has ended.

It was noon.

After everyone finished their meals...

The second round of the competition began at 2 PM.

However, they indicated that the venue had been moved to a warehouse.

This warehouse contains thousands of raw stones, all mined from old mines.

The rules for the second round of the competition are also very simple.

Each family sends three jade gambling experts. Each expert selects a rough stone to cut open. The higher the total value, the higher the score.

Gao Yan scanned it with his Golden Eyes.

They then identified the three most valuable raw stones in the warehouse.

Then he sent Kang Zicheng and Tang Donglin to take the second and third most valuable items, while he himself chose the most valuable one.

An hour later.

The second round of the competition has also ended.

The Qin family still holds the top spot.

A bright smile appeared on Qin Zhilong's face as he watched the game.

As for the Ma brothers, they didn't even have enough three jade gambling experts, so they remained in seventh place this round.

Neither of them looked very well!

In the previous session, the Ma family was still number one.

This time, they'll probably have to settle for seventh place.

And the one who instigated all of this was Gao Yan.

Unfortunately, they can't do anything to Gao Yan right now, otherwise they would definitely send the army to shoot him to death!
