Chapter 17 The Bet Pays Off



"And who are you?" Jiang Ming rubbed his wrist, feigning ignorance.

"Oh, I am He Zhi," the fat man said politely, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"You are Lord Sima?"

"Hehe, Pavilion Chief Jiang, please!"

......

Lord He warmly took Jiang Ming's hand and led him into the hall in the backyard.

"Prepare a feast!"

"promise!"

A servant ran over to relay the order.

Lord He warmly invited Jiang Ming to sit down, and the maids immediately served him tea.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Lord He asked Jiang Ming with a smile, "Since it wasn't by the power of ghosts or gods, how did you, Lord Jiang, manage to wipe out the wolf pack?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a servant stepped forward to report, "Sir, the sorceress has arrived."

"Let her wait in the front hall..." A hint of disgust flashed across Lord He's eyes.

The servant seemed a little embarrassed and added, "I heard that sorceress rambling on and on, saying that the prefect would be coming over in a little while."

"He's coming too?"

Upon hearing this, Lord He's brows furrowed into a knot.
