However, this has nothing much to do with Qin Fang and the others. Both sides are settled with money and goods, all clearly stated in black and white, and the transaction is already completed.

As for how much of this two million that the middle-aged man just acquired will remain on the casino table, they couldn't be bothered to mind it too much…

So Qin Fang and Young Master Liang got up, ready to head out.

Yet, just as the two of them reached the doorway, they immediately felt as if someone had their eyes on them, almost instinctively raising their heads to look over.

"Hmm?"

Qin Fang was taken aback, his brows slightly furrowed, "This really is a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road…"

It was indeed a coincidental encounter with an enemy, because the person he saw was none other than the opponent he was supposed to face the next day—He Feifan…

At this moment, He Feifan was also like Young Master Liang, serving as a companion, walking in with a middle-aged man in his forties. Judging by his posture, this middle-aged man's identity seemed to be quite significant, at least enough for someone like He Feifan to adopt a very humble stance.

"Kawasaki Ichiro?"

Upon witnessing such a scene, even without deploying his Scouting Skill, Qin Fang could guess who this typical small-statured man was.

It was apparent that the person targeting Qin Fang was He Feifan, who was at that moment leaning beside Kawasaki Ichiro, seemingly saying something to him.

Although Qin Fang couldn't hear what they were saying, from He Feifan's gaze, it was clear he was introducing Qin Fang's identity to Kawasaki Ichiro…

Kawasaki Ichiro wasn't tall, a typical image of a Japanese figure. He didn't appear sleazy, but that opening and closing of eyes always gave off an extremely sinister impression, his gaze exuding sharpness, indicating he wasn't a simple character…

Of course, this was all within Qin Fang's anticipation. If he were just an ordinary person, he wouldn't have caused even the former Asian Gambling King Yu Zheng to be so apprehensive.

"Young Master Qin, I never thought I'd run into you here…"

The two groups collided face-to-face. He Feifan cast a peculiar glance at Young Master Liang, but said nothing, choosing instead to greet Qin Fang warmly and amicably.

"Indeed, I didn't expect this. I thought Young Master He usually plays in his own family's casino. What brings you to Kailay?"

If one didn't know He Feifan's temper, merely observing his demeanor, expressions, and attitude would surely make one think he was an exceedingly friendly and humble gentleman. His overall presentation was so perfect that it left no room for criticism.

Of course, only those who have been deceived by him would know what kind of person he really was, like Young Master Liang who now understood.

The saying goes, 'One doesn't hit a smiling face!'

With He Feifan being so polite to Qin Fang, Qin Fang couldn't appear petty either, he responded with a smile. Yet, between the lines, there was always a subtle, intriguing undertone.

"Haha, Young Master Qin surely knows how to joke around…"

Though He Feifan felt repressed inside, there was no visible reaction on his face, and his words carried no irregularity, responding in a perfunctory manner.

The Grand Lisboa Hotel was their turf, and taking his master, the Japanese Gambling King Kawasaki Ichiro, to play in their own casino would be counterproductive, wouldn't it?

Winning money would mean losing his own family's money. Though it might benefit the master, it was bound to stir up gossip...

But coming to Kailay was different. Here, it counted as one of Grand Lisboa Casino's rivals. Winning here posed no problem and could even deal a blow to a competitor... This was something many casinos had done before, and He Feifan was not the first!

However, such actions usually don't occur until a falling-out, maintaining competitive relations, but within limits.

As long as the He Family's casino remains the most powerful in Macau, holding a third of the city's twenty-seven casinos, even though it doesn't account for more than half, the other two-thirds were split among various other forces. Plus, the He Family's deep-rooted control in Macau was unmatched by any newcomers.

But once this ice was broken, with Gambling King He getting older and still capable of passing anytime, whether the next generation of the He Family could maintain such control was uncertain.

So, for the He Family to remain prosperous and thriving, despite the disputes caused by the division of inheritance among the ten plus children, every member hoped that the He Family could continue to thrive…

Thus, everyone would strive to protect the He Family's interests, using any means available, and He Feifan's tactic to hit competitors was one such method.

This time, he came with Kawasaki Ichiro, whose identity is quite peculiar. Besides being the Japanese Gambling King, he reportedly had a very special identity, allowing him to wreak havoc in Kailay without getting blacklisted…

Because Kawasaki Ichiro's identity is not something that the Casino Alliance can afford to offend.

However, only very few people like Kawasaki Ichiro know what exactly this identity is, and He Feifan has a vague guess, but he's not particularly clear about it either.

"What? You're leaving? Not staying for a few more rounds?"

But soon he noticed that Qin Fang and Young Master Liang were about to leave, so he asked with a cheerful smile.

"Not playing anymore, just have something to do, so I'm heading back first..."

Qin Fang waved his hand to refuse. Although he was interested in witnessing Kawasaki Ichiro's achievements in gambling skills and probing into it, compared to his cultivation of the Snow Traversing Step, it was completely insignificant.

At most, the gambling table could just mean losing, at the cost of a little money, which Qin Fang could handle. But the Snow Traversing Step can't be practiced immediately, and that's something he was always concerned about.

"What a pity, I was planning to introduce someone important to you two, but since it's like this, it really is a shame..."

Seeing that Qin Fang seemed to have made up his mind, He Feifan didn't try to persuade him more and instead made a regretful expression.

As for who this important person might be, he didn't name names directly, but it's likely the Japanese Gambling King Kawasaki Ichiro beside him.

All the while, Kawasaki Ichiro had remained silent, just quietly observing, with a trace of arrogance in his eyes but also a cold and sinister feeling coming from his squinting eyes.

"Let's meet again next time, if fate allows..."

Qin Fang acted as if he didn't know anything and didn't look at the proudly standing Kawasaki Ichiro, as if Kawasaki Ichiro was just an insignificant passerby, not worth his attention or notice...

After saying this, Qin Fang walked straight away without looking back, and Young Master Liang just glanced lightly at He Feifan, also seeming unwilling to speak further, quickly followed suit.

By this point, the relationship between Young Master Liang and He Feifan basically ended, though neither of them seemed to care much.

"Hmph..."

Qin Fang left, very decisively, very casually, and even the follower Young Master Liang was the same, which made Kawasaki Ichiro feel a bit stifled and depressed.

He had always been doing well, never been taken so lightly by anyone, almost always a focal point wherever he went, but today he was ignored, and twice by two people, leaving him feeling embarrassed.

"Master, don't lower yourself to his level, tomorrow he'll have his reckoning..."

Having studied under Kawasaki Ichiro for many years, He Feifan naturally understood his temperament. Seeing signs of his anger brewing, he quickly spoke to comfort him.

"Hmph..."

With He Feifan's persuasion, the fire in Kawasaki Ichiro's heart was not completely quelled, but it did make him feel a bit better.

However, he was already planning tomorrow's gambling session, determined to make Qin Fang lose not only his money but his face as well!

Kawasaki Ichiro wasn't known for being magnanimous, so having lost face today naturally left him feeling very displeased. With Qin Fang gone, he had no opportunity to teach this young man a lesson, so all his frustration was bound to be unleashed on some unfortunate souls.

Immediately, under He Feifan's lead, he entered the Kailay Casino, causing tragedy for those at his table, with the gamblers suffering heavy losses, and even the casino took a beating, unable to stop him even after changing several croupiers, with even a Gambling King almost driven to flee by Kawasaki Ichiro...

However, while Kawasaki Ichiro was venting his frustration, He Feifan temporarily left to see the manager of the Kailay Casino to take care of some matters.

What was he up to?

He was reviewing some of the casino's surveillance footage to see what Qin Fang had been up to earlier, or rather to gauge Qin Fang's skill level.

Even though Kailay and the Grand Lisboa were rivals, they were both in Macau, living off the same trade. As the son of Gambling King He and a gambling expert himself, He Feifan was able to obtain the relevant surveillance video from Kailay under the pretext of investigating a suspected cheat...

The time Qin Fang and Young Master Liang spent at Kailay wasn't very long, so the video footage wasn't lengthy either, and He Feifan quickly finished watching it.

"So that's why, a master indeed..."

Seeing the footage, He Feifan was truly taken aback. Earlier, Qin Fang had been quite restrained, consistently winning but not making many moves, frequently changing tables and games...

But in those last few minutes, when Qin Fang returned two million to Young Master Liang, it was almost as if every move he made was a guaranteed win, showing his remarkable gambling skills...
