Chapter 173: Chapter 0173 Innate Grandmaster

After leaving the company, Chu Ge checked the time; there were still a few hours before the office closed, but he didn’t return to the company and dialed Zhao Wuji’s number instead.

"Mr. Chu?" Zhao Wuji’s voice came through the phone.

It could be said that from the beginning to the end of the incident, the only person who truly believed that Chu Ge could handle it easily and without stress was Zhao Wuji because he understood the world of martial artists and knew how terrifying and unattainable Chu Ge’s power was for ordinary people.

"Um, I’ve wrapped things up on my end. Send someone to pick me up," Chu Ge said indifferently, as he still couldn’t locate the position of Zhao Wuji’s manor.

"Alright, Mr. Chu, please wait a moment."

After seeing the coordinates sent by Chu Ge, Zhao Wuji did not delay and immediately arranged for someone to drive there.

"Mr. Chu? Chu Ge." Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind Zhao Wuji.

The speaker was a middle-aged man with long hair, wearing a white robe, looking as if he had traveled through time from ancient days, and more importantly, he was even carrying a long sword on his back.

"Yes, this is the young man I told you about!"

Facing this peculiar middle-aged man, Zhao Wuji didn’t dare show any disrespect, for he knew that this person was a genuine Innate Grandmaster!

"Heh," the middle-aged man chuckled, mumbling to himself, "I wonder what his reaction will be when he sees me, an old acquaintance?"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Zhao Wuji was startled and carefully asked, "Have you met Mr. Chu before?"

However, the middle-aged man did not answer him and instead walked on his own into the banquet hall nearby.

......

Chu Ge did not have to wait long, a Bentley stopped in front of him, and the driver, dressed in a black suit, got out, opened the car door, and made a welcoming gesture with a slight bow, "I’m sorry to have kept Mr. Chu waiting. Mr. Zhao is waiting for you at the manor, please get in the car."

"Um," Chu Ge glanced at him and then got into the car.

It must be said, as the chairman of Tianrui Bank, Zhao Wuji was indeed wealthy and lavish; his manor was far more luxurious than Huo Tianqian’s.

After driving into the manor, the car slowly drove for a few minutes before finally arriving at the parking area, and Zhao Wuji was already there waiting.

Through his analysis over this period, he had concluded that Chu Ge was only half a step away from the Innate Realm, possibly just needing to break through a paper-thin membrane!

A Quasi-Innate Grandmaster definitely deserved his high regard and treatment.

"Mr. Zhao has really taken the trouble to come here and wait in person," Chu Ge stepped out of the car and joked with Zhao Wuji.

"Oh, Mr. Chu, please don’t say that," Zhao Wuji was a clever man, waving his hands and laughing, "Now, while Mr. Chu hasn’t reached the Innate Realm, I need to quickly foster a good relationship with you. When you become an Innate Grandmaster later, even if I want to cling to you, I might not get the chance!"

"There are tens of thousands of martial artists, but less than one in ten thousand reach the Innate Realm. Are you so sure I can achieve Innate Grandmaster? What if I fail?"

"Heh, over the years I’ve been at the bank, if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s how to recognize the potential in people. I see the purple aura coming from above Mr. Chu’s head; reaching the Innate Realm is only a matter of time."

As they were talking, they had already reached the entrance of the banquet hall.

However, just then, Chu Ge suddenly stopped, glanced at the tightly closed doors of the banquet hall, then suddenly turned to Zhao Wuji and said, "Mr. Zhao, have you invited other guests today?"

Between martial artists, there’s actually a sense of mutual perception; otherwise, that elder from the Ghost Poison Sect wouldn’t have been so sure that he hadn’t reached the Innate Grandmaster Realm the other night.

Chu Ge, however, sensed a faint but powerful aura coming from inside the banquet hall, far surpassing all the martial artists he had encountered in Shanghai.

In the banquet hall, there was an Innate Grandmaster!

"Yes," Zhao Wuji looked at Chu Ge a bit surprised, seemingly not expecting him to be so sure there was someone else inside, but he didn’t deny it, nodding his head and saying, "Inside, there is the real founder and controller of Tianrui Bank, and from what he said, it seems he’s an old acquaintance of yours, Mr. Chu. Why don’t you go in and meet him?"

"Oh, someone I know?" Chu Ge raised an eyebrow, showing a bit of interest, "It might be good to meet him."

Then, without needing Zhao Wuji to lead the way, Chu Ge pushed the door and walked in, while Zhao Wuji did not follow but stood by the door, gazing out at the scenery inside the manor.

Upon entering, Chu Ge’s first sight was naturally drawn to the man’s ancient attire, but his eyes did not show curiosity or confusion, but rather a touch of reminiscence.

Because that ancient attire gave him a very familiar feeling!

Finally, when the middle-aged man raised his head, Chu Ge widened his eyes and breathed softly, "It’s you!"

After arriving in Shanghai, neither the issues with the Ghost Poison Sect nor the upheavals in several major families could overly affect Chu Ge’s temperament, yet in that moment when the middle-aged man raised his head, it was like a stone had been dropped into the calm waters of his mind, sending out ripples!

"It’s been over a decade, you’ve grown up!" the middle-aged man revealed no surprise, but rather looked at Chu Ge and smiled faintly.

"Um," Chu Ge nodded, his gaze complex as he looked at him, "It’s been over a decade, yet time hasn’t left any traces on you!"

He had seen this middle-aged man before. Back when he was still learning martial arts with his master in the mountains, his master had taken him to visit some Ancient Martial Sects and some real experts. This man was one of them.

Over a decade ago, he had personally witnessed this man slaying an Innate Grandmaster with a single sword!

Both were of the Innate Realm, yet none could block his single sword. Now, more than a decade later, what kind of Realm had he reached?

"Back then, I made a bet with your master and lost," the middle-aged man picked up a cup of tea in front of him and slowly took a sip.

At that moment, Chu Ge had already sat opposite him. Facing such a powerful man, he did not show any signs of timidity.

The Cultivation Technique in the Jade Pendant and his master’s teachings from the past had instilled in him an unrivaled obsession: Invincible by my presence!

"Um, I remember that," Chu Ge nodded, also picking up a cup of tea, not to drink from it, but to rotate it in his hands, "Back then, my master said, at the same Realm, you were no match for him. So you sealed your Innate Realm and fought with my master, and got badly beaten."

"Yes," the middle-aged man chuckled bitterly, "I’ll never forget that dark history. I’ve always wanted to even the score."
