Chapter 1072: Got Too Much Time On Your Hands? Hurry Up
When Hu Batian went over, Diane, Phantom Flame and Spectral Refiner were still very much engrossed in their card game.
"Game! Yes! I finally won for once! Hahaha, hand it over!" Diane knocked the table and extended a gleeful hand to Phantom Flame and Spectral Refiner.
"Oh sucks, I just won 100 million and you got them all! I refuse to accept this!" Phantom Flame whined.
She then grinned blinking her eyes and turned to Spectral Flame to say joyously, "Luckily I"m not making a loss though! I won 100 million from you just now, haha!"
…
The three of them were absorbed in their card game and had blatantly ignored Hu Batian. It was not just ignoring him; Hu Batian had gone up to bow respectfully and speak to the trio in a deferential tone but they did not even spare him a glance.
It was as if Hu Batian was just a puff of air that was overlooked entirely!
The crowd who stood farther away felt their heart lurch, especially the several people who were intimidated by Hu Chaoqun boasting about his uncle, Hu Batian, to them.
Hu Chaoqun had said that his uncle, Hu Batian"s uncle company was among the top 20 in the world!
What could that mean? While New Cruise was among the top in Zhe Province and could expand to the world, Hu Batian"s company was already famous in the world. There was simply no ground for a comparison!
A person like Hu Batian was not someone the existing crowd could meet even if they wished to. Hence, when a person everyone thought to be so successful that he was unrivaled like Hu Batian greeted the trio in deference but did not receive any form of response, everyone froze in shock.
Big shots like Hu Batian should be pandered to wherever they went! Yet not only did Diane, Phantom Flame and Spectral Refiner not respond to him, they blatantly ignored him! Were the three of them of a higher status than Hu Batian?
The crowd was nonplussed.
Ms. Lu and family, as well as the villagers who came from Xinjiang Town, might not know what Gu Sha Mercenaries was but Hua Yun and Hu Chaoqun were very clear about the significance of the organization internationally. That was why once they heard what Hu Batian, their uncle, said, both of them paled instantly.
Why were Gu Sha Mercenaries" people here?
"Uncle, why are the big guns from Gu Sha Mercenaries here…" Hu Chaoqun looked aghast as he shuffled closer to Hu Batian and asked softly.
Before he finished his question, he received a glare from the older man to stop him from speaking mindlessly. In spite of it, said older man took another step closer to the trio.
Hu Batian wore his signature smile once more following his advance to the trio, asking in deference, "Why, how did you three have time to visit a small place like this?"
The incredibly courteous pleasantry was still left unanswered.
Diane, Phantom Flame and Spectral Refiner went on with their card game.
The crowd who saw it farther away immediately felt that these three people must have a powerful background. Just as they wondered, they heard Yun Jian drawl, "The three of you have too much time on your hands, haven"t you? My brother"s bustling here and there and you three are here playing card? Get up and go help him out!"
