Chapter 166: Chapter 0166: Poison Snake Rises to Power

"Bringing back the dead is a bit of a stretch," Chu Ge glanced at Zhao Wuji and took his hand off of Ah Hu: "But as long as a breath still exists, I’m confident I can make a full recovery."

In fact, Chu Ge had healed Ah Hu in front of Zhao Wuji for a reason. He had long discerned that there might be a hidden power behind Zhao Wuji.

Since he was in a cooperative relationship with Zhao Wuji, it was better to show what he was capable of, to take the initiative in future dealings.

"Mr. Chu!" At this moment, Ah Hu had already gotten up.

Compared to Zhao Wuji, who was still in shock, Ah Hu reacted much more naturally, having already experienced Chu Ge’s skills when Shi Jinghai broke all of his bones. In Ah Hu’s eyes, the reverence for Chu Ge had once again increased.

Zhao Wuji seemed still to find it hard to believe, and began to check Ah Hu’s torn clothes.

Ah Hu frowned, and Chu Ge said indifferently from the side: "Ah Hu, take off your shirt."

"Yes." As soon as Chu Ge spoke, the dissatisfaction on Ah Hu’s face disappeared instantly, and he nodded respectfully, then tore off his almost shredded shirt.

Zhao Wuji’s eyes widened... Of course, not because of Ah Hu’s muscular build, but because aside from the bloodstains left before, there were no signs of injury on Ah Hu’s body!

"How... How did you do this?"

"Just a minor trick," Chu Ge said with a light smile, "I don’t know why Manager Zhao holds it in such high esteem."

At this time, Zhao Wuji also noticed his lapse in composure and chuckled awkwardly, settling back into his seat, though his slightly trembling right hand betrayed his inner turmoil.

This is practically a technique that can bring people back from the dead! Those old masters of the big families in Beijing seemed to have passed away due to various internal injuries, if Chu Ge could heal them all...

The connections involved were too frightening for Zhao Wuji to even think about!

Seeing Zhao Wuji deep in thought, Chu Ge did not interrupt, but gestured Ah Hu to sit down, then asked: "Now tell me, what exactly happened? How did the men left to you by Huo Tianqian nearly end up taking your life?"

Chu Ge’s intervention this time was purely coincidental. If all this was arranged by Huo Tianqian, then it would be their internal family matter, and Chu Ge naturally would not interfere anymore.

Ah Hu took a deep breath, seemingly trying to suppress the rage in his heart, and gritted his teeth to say: "It was Poison Snake!"

"Poison Snake?" Chu Ge wrinkled his brow, picturing a face of a man in glasses with a sinister countenance.

He had naturally seen Poison Snake during that underground racing event when Huo Tianqian brought him along, having had a brief encounter.

"Yes, Poison Snake has turned traitor! He wanted to take advantage of Master Huo’s absence and completely take over the power left here by Master Huo to replace him!" Ah Hu spoke to this point, grinning bitterly, as if he was reliving the pain of being nearly torn to pieces before: "Master Huo had two close lieutenants with great power, one of them was Poison Snake, and the other one was me. Thus, the first thing Poison Snake did after gaining power was to send people to eliminate me!"

"That’s strange." At this moment, the previously silent Zhao Wuji suddenly raised his head and said.

"What’s your view?" Chu Ge looked at him because, after all, Zhao Wuji had operated here for many years and surely knew far more than he did.

"To be honest, Mr. Chu, I have had several dealings with Poison Snake," Zhao Wuji said.

"Oh?" Hearing Zhao Wuji say this, Chu Ge became interested and said with a smile: "Turns out Manager Zhao’s network is so extensive, having connections to both the underworld and legitimate areas."

"Not at all." Zhao Wuji shook his head with a bitter smile and waved his hand: "Doing business, you have to take care of all aspects; it’s unavoidable."

He paused, rubbed his fingertips and continued: "Although I am not close friends with Poison Snake, I have come to understand his general character; he likes to lurk in the shadows. If one day he puts himself into the spotlight, that means he has obtained the certainty of victory. But given Poison Snake’s position under Huo Tianqian, it seems insufficient for him to be so confident!"

Chu Ge wasn’t surprised by Zhao Wuji’s words. After a few seconds of silence, he snorted coldly: "Hmph, a sudden powerful backer? Ghost Poison Sect? Vajra Sect? Or the Duan Family?"

With each name Chu Ge mentioned, Zhao Wuji’s pupils contracted a bit more, and by the end, they were as tiny as needle points.

As a real upper-class figure, he deeply understood the terrifying power behind these seemingly simple names!

"Manager Zhao, how about we postpone your matter for a bit?" Chu Ge suddenly raised his head and said.

Zhao Wuji was taken aback, then nodded repeatedly: "Good, Mr. Chu, please proceed with your businesses, I have no vengeance and am not in a hurry! We can always deal with my issues whenever you have time."

Given Chu Ge’s previously demonstrated healing methods, even if he directly went back on his word and didn’t help him break through to the Postnatal Realm, Zhao Wuji would still treat Chu Ge as a distinguished guest!

"Mr. Chu, do you need me to arrange someone to help you?"

As Chu Ge signaled the driver to stop, Zhao Wuji cautiously asked.

"No need, they are just jumping beams of clowns, the main players haven’t shown up yet." Chu Ge waved his hand, stepped out of the car, and Ah Hu followed closely without a word.

"Mr. Zhao, what now..." Watching the two get out of the car, the driver turned to look at Zhao Wuji and tentatively asked.

"Go to the manor." Zhao Wuji reclined on the sofa inside the car, pinching his brow, and murmured quietly: "It seems, a change is on the horizon!"

......

Starlight Bar, one of Huo Tianqian’s properties, was supposed to be managed by a big bald man with a tattoo of a shoe on his head, and perhaps because of this tattoo, he was nicknamed Xiezi.

However, at this moment, Starlight Bar was closed, and in the bar, a gang of ruffians surrounded Xiezi in the middle.

But now, Xiezi no longer had his usual imposing presence as he knelt on the ground with a bruised face and his hands tightly bound behind his back with hemp rope; some of his wounds appeared fresh and were still bleeding profusely.

A little gangster with a snake tattoo on his face stood beside Xiezi, kicked him to the ground, then stepped on his back: "Let me make it clear to all of you, from now on in the underground, Snake is the one calling the shots!"
