The situation here was very complicated. Even Teluos had no idea what kind of powerful beings were hidden here. Take Chen Xiao, for example. By the time Chen Zheng had even noticed him, he was already a man as devoted to alcohol as he was to life itself. And Chen Xiao was just one step away from ascending to godhood. If not for Chen Zheng, Teluos would have never known such a person existed in the City of Sin.
Moreover, there's that old swindler who appeared out of nowhere. I have no idea where he sprang from. Even after I leave this city and follow Ming Chong and the others back to a normal metropolis, I wonder if people like him exist there, too.
Chen Zheng guessed the old swindler's strength was comparable to Denps's, though he wasn't on the Celestial Ranking. According to the old man himself, Teluos simply didn't dare to include him, but it was just as likely he was boasting.
"Is something wrong?" Chen Zheng asked, lifting the bag in his hand toward the monk.
