"This place... this is where you 'play cards,' isn't it?" Li Ang, holding Lu Gui aloft, asked casually, "Looks quite upscale, huh."
Lu Gui's knees and shoulders were still dripping blood. He seemed to realize his captor wouldn't let him go, so he remained silent.
Li Ang stood on the wooden floor, bouncing on the spot a few times. With his Perception of 8, he could clearly feel that a section of the wooden floor in this room was hollow beneath.
Li Ang kicked open the mahjong table at the very back. The heavy mahjong table flew sideways, crashing to the ground. It revealed a square section of wooden flooring beneath, fitted with a copper ring handle.
So, this is it? Li Ang smiled, hooked his toe under the copper ring handle, and gently pulled, flipping open the wooden hatch.
The wooden hatch opened to reveal a wide staircase leading down. Li Ang descended the stairs into a spacious basement. He casually felt along the wall and pressed the light switch. The lights flickered on.
