"With only three players left, it seems the game can't continue…"

The other five gamblers had all dropped out, leaving only three players who simply couldn't afford to play anymore. Qin Fang gathered his chips with a smile, speaking amiably as he did.

At this moment, he dropped his bold and arrogant pretense, as there was no longer any need for it. The remaining three players had already concluded he must have been cheating.

Not only had these three decided, but it was likely that the person behind this underground casino was also aware of it.

"Mr. Luo, our boss would like to see you…"

Just then, the young floor manager who had brought Qin Fang over appeared again, respectfully addressing him with a reverent tone.

"Oh, is that so? I didn't expect to be held in such high regard. Lead the way…"

Qin Fang wore a nonchalant smile, seemingly unsurprised by the presence of this man, or rather, by the underground casino's mysterious boss's invitation.

"This way, please…"

The young floor manager smiled as he led the way, heading deeper into the factory, while Qin Fang strolled leisurely behind him, occasionally looking sideways with casual glances.

Unlike the assassination attempts often depicted in movies, no assassins emerged to take Qin Fang out on their way; it was desolate and markedly quieter, a stark contrast to the bustling chaos of the gambling hall.

After walking roughly a few dozen meters, Qin Fang and the floor manager arrived at the deepest part of the abandoned factory, a row of low houses, their lights on, faintly revealing the interior.

This seemed to be their destination, and as Qin Fang approached, a man dressed in a classy suit stood in calm silence.

"Mr. Luo, this gentleman is our boss…"

The floor manager briefly introduced the man to Qin Fang, then respectfully excused himself.

After the floor manager left, the man turned to face them, revealing his features. He wasn't very old, in his thirties perhaps, but his eyes were extremely sharp, projecting a sense of combativeness and intelligence.

"Mr. Luo, hello… My surname is Li…"

The man approached Qin Fang, his face adorned with a mild smile. He reached out warmly, shook hands with Qin Fang, and shared his surname.

Of course, Qin Fang wasn't going to trust him that easily. This man was a shadowy figure, and who knew who he really was? Names were nothing more than codes.

Besides, in Dragon Country there were far too many people with the same surname. Common surnames like Li, Chen, Wang were exceedingly numerous, not to mention those who shared the same full name.

"Mr. Li, hello… May I know what matter requires my presence?"

Qin Fang asked courteously.

"Actually, there's nothing much…"

The man surnamed Li walked over to his desk, retrieved a briefcase from underneath, and placed the rather large briefcase on the desk before opening it to reveal a box full of cash, half red, half green.

The red half was naturally RMB, while the green half was US Dollars.

"Here we have RMB and US Dollars, half a million each. Mr. Luo, if you agree to one condition, you can take this money right away…"

The man surnamed Li pointed to the cash inside the briefcase.

Half a million RMB was inconsequential. Qin Fang had brought that amount to the casino and won a total of 1.5 million RMB; together, that made 2 million RMB.

But half a million US Dollars was different. Even though the exchange rate had fallen considerably, it was still equivalent to more than 3 million RMB.

Add in the RMB, and the case held almost 4 million in total... without a doubt, a substantial amount of money.

"What's the condition? I'm all ears…"

Qin Fang neither agreed nor refused, simply asking about the condition.

"It's very simple, leave this place… and don't discuss anything about this place with anyone…"

The man surnamed Li smiled, speaking with tranquility.

In his view, such an amount of money was quite persuasive, and the condition was almost non-existent, equivalent to giving the money away for free. It was a deal that he believed no one would refuse…

"A tempting offer…"

Qin Fang walked up to the desk and casually grabbed a stack of money from the box, flipping through it with the sound of rustling bills, looking very nonchalant.

But...

"What if I say no?"

What Qin Fang had said earlier sounded rather negotiable, but his next words took an abrupt 180-degree turn, now directly challenging the man surnamed Li.

The man surnamed Li was stunned, having not anticipated Qin Fang's calmness in the face of such money, almost as if he was seeing not cash but a pile of worthless paper.

"Say no?"

However, this man quickly recovered, his facial expression clearly becoming sinister, "If Mr. Luo were to say no, I think you've already seen how many enforcers we have here. I just don't know if your bones are as hard as your mouth..."

"Of course, I am quite a peace-loving person, really don't want to see any violence occur... I trust Mr. Luo is also a wise man. If you know what's good for you, take this money and leave, as if nothing ever happened, as if you never saw anything..."

"But if Mr. Luo isn't understanding, then this money isn't for you anymore. I imagine giving this big sum of money to those enforcers under me, surely someone wouldn't mind using their knife to leave a few holes in your highness's body..."

The man surnamed Li seemed very calm, and even as he spoke these words, he did so with an air of composure, as if he wasn't a boss of an underground gambling den, but rather a cold-blooded assassin.

Clap clap clap~~~

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, applause broke out around them.

The one clapping, unquestionably, was Qin Fang standing next to him, his face showing little emotion, "It seems you're set on the approach of 'those who are with me prosper, those against me perish'... Good, very good..."

The words spoken by the man surnamed Li were powerful and full of vigor, making quite a compelling argument. For someone less brave, it would have certainly been intimidating enough.

Almost four million in cash, this was a huge sum of money for the vast majority of people. Just think about it, even the top prize in the lottery is only five million RMB, and after personal income tax, it's about four million.

And how many people in the country buy lottery tickets? Tens of millions, with each draw amounting to billions. Isn't it all for such a sum of money?

It's fair to say that obtaining such an amount would turn one's life upside down. In a nation of over a billion people, many would definitely take the risk for such a large sum.

Isn't it just killing a person?

The worst outcome is execution by firing squad, but at least such a sum could bring fortune to one's family. How many people can earn this much in a lifetime?

Especially those enforcers outside, idle and without any particular skills, their prowess limited to fighting, if offered such a large amount to kill someone, they wouldn't hesitate for a second...

Now, this was exactly the tactic the underground casino was using against Qin Fang.

Although no one could tell how Qin Fang had cheated, such luck obviously wasn't normal; Qin Fang must have been an expert cheater with superior skills.

Offering money to send Qin Fang away was the usual practice for casinos when they encountered skillful cheaters like Gao Ming, and of course, they would blacklist such cheaters to prevent their re-entry.

This casino, being run by an underground organization and not aboveboard, opted for the more understanding approach typical of such places—payment for silence and a gentle push out the door.

The less scrupulous ones would beat cheaters to death and dump the bodies at Mass Burial Mound...

Clearly, this underground casino was following the rules, adopting a "carrot before the stick" policy, which wasn't too outrageous; otherwise, Qin Fang wouldn't mind wiping out certain people outright.

"Mr. Luo, it's time for you to make a decision—take the money and leave, or else..."

The man surnamed Li seemed to be growing impatient, he stared down Qin Fang, emphasizing his last words distinctly and deliberately.

Qin Fang looked back at the man named Li, his eyes brimming with amusement. After maintaining this stare for several minutes, Qin Fang finally spoke.

"If you want to negotiate terms, then bring out someone with authority. You... are not qualified!"

Those words caused the man named Li to pause, his pupils constricted swiftly, his demeanor instantly transforming from his previous gentle and refined appearance into a fierce, ruthless being radiating chilling murderous intent.

Such a sudden change was something most people couldn't anticipate or withstand—the raw killing aura emanating from the man named Li was undeniable.

But what about Qin Fang?

He was as composed as ever, his smile not changing in the slightest, in fact, it deepened.

With a snap, he closed the cash-filled case and then settled himself into the boss chair behind the desk.

"Don't give me that stare; it's useless... Go find someone who can actually make decisions..."

The previous manager had said the man named Li was the boss behind this underground casino, but Qin clearly indicated that this man named Li wasn't the real boss—the true mastermind behind the scenes had yet to show.

If they wanted Qin Fang to leave, only the real boss coming forward to personally negotiate terms would suffice... The man named Li didn't have the credentials. (To be continued.
