After a long tussle, Dao, the old fox, finally took the bait.
Xiaolong's ultimate goal was to enter the core area of the casino, probe into the high-stake gambling with substantial amounts, and then seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Jiang Hao.
The key to it all lay with the man in front of him, Dao.
"Can we speak privately for a moment? It's crowded here, and some things are better not said with so many prying eyes around."
Dao looked around warily, fearful of someone overhearing what shouldn't be heard.
"Certainly."
"Then please lead the way."
Xiaolong and his companion nodded slightly, replying in agreement.
Dao's eyes lit up with pleasure, and he promptly arranged a room, ordering someone to pour the tea.
The room was quiet, a small one inside the casino. The three sat opposite each other, with a variety of fruits placed on the table, and even the poured tea was of the fine Dragon Well variety.
Just these were enough to demonstrate Dao's sincerity.
