Everyone came to their senses upon hearing Steward Sun's voice, and they all bowed to the elder, saying, "Greetings, Lord City Lord."
The elder waved his hand upon hearing this and said, "No need for formalities, everyone rise."
It was only then that Chu Chen got a clear look at the City Lord. This was an elder who appeared to be in his sixties, but his gaze revealed a depth far beyond his years. He wore a loose black robe, his posture was perfectly straight, showing no signs of age, and every gesture exuded the authority of one in a high position.
Li Dehai's face turned exceedingly unsightly. The City Lord had overheard his words just now, and it was clear that he was defending the reputation of the Gambling Egg Pavilion.
Even if Chu Chen was cheating, there was nothing he could do about it. If he continued to insist, he would offend the City Lord, and the Li Family would only suffer more.
