Second update, asking for subscriptions and monthly votes~~

...

This woman is not young anymore; she must be at least in her thirties or forties, but she's very well-maintained and looks just over thirty, still quite charming.

This woman must have been a rare beauty in her youth, but now her youth has faded, and she seems to have experienced a lot, making her originally gentle face much harder.

At a glance, she's the kind of woman who is a strong career woman... accustomed to giving orders, and now she's showing the same attitude towards Qin Fang.

Qin Fang glanced at the woman with some surprise, then simply ignored her...

He didn't need any Scouting Skill to guess who this woman was; she was most likely He Yuanbing, the sixth lady of the He family, who now controls the entire He Clan Gambling Group and is the designated heir of Gambling King He...

A woman in charge of a massive group with assets reaching billions of US Dollars, her assertiveness and dominance are imaginable...

Unfortunately, even though this woman is usually assertive, acting so arrogantly towards Qin Fang now... it's unlikely that Qin Fang would give her any face.

"My sixth sister is asking you a question, didn't you hear? Or are you deaf..."

Though Qin Fang ignored He Yuanbing, he didn't expect the young man sitting on the other side of her to angrily shout at him.

This young man was sitting on the other side of He Yuanbing, and naturally, the other side belonged to He Feifan, who was looking at Qin Fang with a resentful gaze but didn't say anything.

This young man had an arrogant demeanor on his face, as if he were the second in command of the universe, utterly pompous.

"Uncle Fu, it seems your He family's service personnel are quite unruly, I suggest you just fire him..."

For such an unfettered young master from a wealthy family, Qin Fang couldn't even be bothered to step on him, instead smiling at Uncle Fu nearby, who seemed to be watching the show, and spoke in a tone that seemed quite serious.

But looking at his expression, the amusement in his eyes revealed what he really meant...

"Mr. Qin is joking. These two are our sixth lady and the fourteenth young master..."

Uncle Fu remained calm and was not annoyed by Qin Fang's obvious mockery; instead, he smiled and responded as if he hadn't heard Qin Fang's sarcasm at all.

"Uncle Fu..."

But the more this happened, the more surprised these He family people became.

Uncle Fu held a high position in the He family, almost equivalent to Gambling King He himself, and these juniors were very respectful and fearful of him. Even those few wives were polite to Uncle Fu.

Because they all knew, Uncle Fu was absolutely loyal to the He family!

But even so, facing Qin Fang's mockery, Uncle Fu actually did not help them but clearly leaned towards the outsider Qin Fang, which is extremely unusual.

The He family's young masters and ladies were all dumbfounded, each of them stunned, with only a few furrowing their brows.

Such as Sixth Lady He Yuanbing, and He Feifan...

He Feifan having such a reaction was relatively normal since Qin Fang being invited to the He family today was quite strange to begin with.

Now Qin Fang not only came but also remained so arrogant in the He house, which indicated that he had something to rely on, and this was quite unfavorable for He Feifan.

As for He Yuanbing, being the helm of a super-large gambling group with assets of billions of US Dollars speaks volumes of her capabilities; her many years in the business world had long allowed her to see things very clearly.

Qin Fang's behavior certainly made her angry, but at the same time made her very curious... curious about what Qin Fang had to rely on, even daring to be so strong in the face of the great He family.

This was because her understanding of Qin Fang was really too limited, only knowing that Qin Fang took away nearly thirty billion Hong Kong dollars from the Grand Lisboa Casino last night...

Aside from the portion Kawasaki Ichiro mentioned, most of this money, which could have been the casino's profit, ultimately ended up in the pockets of Qin Fang and his friends, which He Yuanbing found hard to ignore!

Even more puzzling was that Qin Fang was invited back by Uncle Fu, and the only one in the He family who could command Uncle Fu was their over ninety-year-old father, Gambling King He, who no longer managed things.

Why invite Qin Fang?

This became a big question mark in the minds of all the He family members, including He Yuanbing.

After Qin Fang put them on the spot like this, everyone became much more cautious, with no one eagerly seeking trouble with Qin Fang anymore.

Even these young masters and ladies were sarcastically mocked by Qin Fang, and Uncle Fu only responded with a smile, pushing the blame away, so if they stirred up trouble again, they would definitely be idiots!

With these people staying silent, naturally, Qin Fang wouldn't actively provoke the members of the He family either; arguing too much with these people was really pointless, let alone this was still the He family's territory.

Fortunately, just as this confrontation ended, they saw Uncle Fu heading to the room and coming out pushing a wheelchair... sitting in it was an elderly man over ninety years old, with white hair.

Gambling King He!

Clearly, this old man is none other than the legendary Gambling King He, a figure who has dominated Macau for decades!

Unfortunately, the Gambling King He that Qin Fang sees is not at his strongest, but rather an elderly man at the twilight of his years.

Moreover, judging by his energy, Qin Fang estimates that this old man doesn't have much time left; he seems to be living on borrowed time.

"Are you Qin Fang?"

While Qin Fang was observing Gambling King He, Gambling King He was also observing Qin Fang.

Despite appearing very old and frail, the words he spoke were still full of authority.

Gambling King He, though quite old, has the domineering aura cultivated over many years; a mere glance, a tone of speech, exudes an intense oppressive feeling.

Although he is not a martial artist, he imposes an immense pressure akin to that of a supreme expert.

Even Qin Fang could not help but frown slightly when faced with such a Gambling King He... it was clear that he was displeased with Gambling King He's overbearing demeanor.

"Yes..."

Even though he felt displeased, Gambling King He was not He Yuanbing, nor He Feifan, so for such an accomplished person, Qin Fang restrained himself and responded simply.

For no other reason than respect for the elder generations...

"Hmm?"

Gambling King He cast a sharp gaze at Qin Fang, a glance so penetrating it seemed it could cleave his heart open.

This was a mental pressure; even in the twilight of his life, a person who's been forceful all his life remains formidable.

This is the aura of a superior—a strong presence entirely different from a martial artist's, making even someone like Qin Fang feel deeply pressured.

"Hmph..."

Yet, the more Gambling King He exuded such an aura, the more Qin Fang's temper soared; he wasn't a soft target to be molded at will.

With a thought, Qin Fang's own aura surged, forming a presence akin to an atmosphere, seemingly challenging Gambling King He's dominance.

The young and the old glared at each other, neither willing to relent...

The seemingly gentle Uncle Fu stood behind Gambling King He, though his hands pushed the wheelchair, his cloudy eyes revealed a glint, ever observing the dynamic between Gambling King He and Qin Fang...

The surrounding air seemed to freeze completely, and the He family's members didn't dare to make a sound; only He Yuanbing was a little better, although her eyes flickered with a peculiar light, known only to herself.

As for He Feifan, his gaze was filled with surprise, astonishment, understanding, and regret, as if things he hadn't understood became clear all at once...

Perhaps because of this, He Feifan's handsome face turned utterly pale...

The other members of the He family were unfamiliar with Qin Fang; many hadn't heard of him at all, so naturally, they didn't have many thoughts, treating this young man with considerable reverence.

In the martial world, Gambling King He has been a forceful figure throughout his life; though not a skilled martial artist, his aura is beyond anything ordinary people could match.

Even Gambling King He's own sons and daughters tread carefully when facing him; but Qin Fang confronted such an aura fearlessly, even seeming to match it—it was terrifying enough in itself...

The young and the old confronted each other, making the air around them seem frozen, as if even breathing became difficult.

"Good, good, good... worthy of being Old Man Qin's grandson!"

This heavy atmosphere dissipated only when Gambling King He broke out in laughter—his laughter was very hearty.

However, as he spoke, Qin Fang clearly sensed Gambling King He's faint fatigue...

A hero in twilight, Lian Po is old...

Upon feeling Gambling King He's change in aura, Qin Fang couldn't help but express such a sentiment, even though he hadn't yet discerned Gambling King He's stance.

Once a fierce hero, now merely an aged man, even as he reached life's end, he had to mend the troubles his children created—perhaps a certain sadness lies in that...

"Old Man Qin?"

But soon Qin Fang was stunned, because of Gambling King He's words, he was completely taken aback...

From Gambling King He's tone, it seemed this legendary hero knew of Qin Fang's grandfather, whom Qin Fang had never met...(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
