"Hmm?"
This opening instantly captured everyone's attention.
The two people who had just suffered a setback already felt a subtle fear towards Young Master Lu, worried that their own trump card might not suffice and lead to further trouble. They hadn't expected someone to step forward and provoke him, which made them all a bit anxious.
Even Young Master Lu of the Lu Family was taken aback. He sized up Hu Ma, then let out a sneer. "I'm not short of silver; I'm short of capable people."
"Does this master seem to have a trump card up his sleeve?"
Hu Ma intentionally appeared straightforward and unyielding. "Even if you have silver, we're here to earn it with our skills, not to beg you for charity. There's no need for you, Young Master, to put on such airs."
"I may not possess any great skills, but since fate has brought us together, whether I succeed or fail, allow me to offer you a cup of tea first, Young Master!"
