Chapter 1556: The Final Question

Li Du had said those words in Chinese but he did not expect the man to have a decent grasp on the language. The man understood what he said and responded in Mandarin, "Who brought you guys here?"

Thar Ne Win and his buddy stepped forward meekly and one of them whispered, "W-w-we were forced, boss. They wanted to come to take a look."

Li Du chuckled. "You speak Chinese? That's great, it'll be easier for us to communicate. What do you guys play at here?"

The hulk of a man stared him down as he said, "Cockfights, dogfights, cards, pai gow, and mahjong. What do you want to play?"

Li Du said, "I like dice. Do you have that here?"

The man's face soured and he said, "Listen, boss. If you are really here to play I will welcome you with open arms, but if you're here to pick a fight, you're barking up the wrong tree."

Li Du waved his hands. "You're reading too much into this. I'm just here to play."
