Tang Mo looked down at Ge Yi. When Kasait had mentioned his name just now, Ge Yi had visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Clearly, Kasait had not correctly identified his backer.
In other words, Ge Long was not his backer. Someone else stood behind him.
Tang Mo pondered for a moment, ruled out Spirit Hall and the border army, and fixed his attention on Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.
"Royalty and nobles in Heaven Dou City?" As Tang Mo spoke, he pressed down harder with his foot, making Ge Yi cry out in pain.
"Aaaargh..."
A flicker of panic crossed the howling Ge Yi's eyes. Clearly, Tang Mo had guessed who backed him.
Having practiced the Observation Method, Tang Mo keenly caught the change in Ge Yi's emotions. He continued, "An earl? A marquis? A duke? A prince?"
Once Tang Mo confirmed that Ge Yi's backer was among the royalty and nobles in Heaven Dou City, he could not help thinking of the Snake Eyes Pirates.
When he had wiped out the Snake Eyes Pirates earlier, he had learned that their main backer was a titled noble.
So he decisively began his questioning with earl, the lowest noble rank in Heaven Dou City.
As the saying went, living in Heaven Dou City was no easy feat. Those below the rank of earl did not qualify to live there at all. They generally lived in other cities, or simply settled outside Heaven Dou City.
That was why he had started with earl. As he worked his way up the ranks, a flash of terror finally crossed Ge Yi's eyes when he mentioned the word "prince."
If the person behind Ge Yi had held some other noble rank, Tang Mo really would have needed some time
