As the men began to act aggressively, Gu Dai swiftly kicked the first one who charged at her, sending him sprawling to the ground.
The other men, momentarily stunned by their fallen comrade, exchanged glances, debating their next move.
"Should we still go get her?"
"Yes!"
"There are so many of us; we can surely overpower her."
...
Deciding to attack, they rushed forward, only to be met by Song Ling, who positioned himself protectively in front of Gu Dai.
Hesitating briefly upon seeing Song Ling, they eventually mustered the courage to attack, but Song Ling's agility quickly subdued them, as they were all knocked down to the ground.
The others in the gambling den, initially eager to join the fray, now remained silent, reducing their presence as much as possible, intimidated by the scene that unfolded.
Gu Dai, impressed by Song Ling's reliability as a "tool", gave him an approving glance.
