159: Paying back debts is a matter of course!

Soon, a team of burly Men in Black suits and sunglasses pushed through the crowd and walked out from the inner hall of the casino.

Leading them was a Middle-aged Man of about forty, wearing his hair slicked back, with a gloomy expression on his face.

And he was the person in charge of the casino, Lin Hai.

"So you're the one who kept winning and made one hundred million?" Lin Hai narrowed his eyes and stared at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen nodded. "That's right, it's me."

Lin Hai curled his lips into a sneer, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Winning in a row could be called luck, but to accurately bet on a total of sixteen, this luck..."

"...is a bit too excessive, don't you think?"

"Friend, which path do you walk? Do you understand the rules?"

"If you come to our 'Hongzhong' to play, you are welcome!"

"But if you intentionally came to wreck the place... I'm afraid you've picked the wrong spot."

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Wreck the place? Manager Lin, what are you talking about?"

"I didn't roll the dice, I didn't open the cup, and I didn't even touch them."

"From beginning to end, I just sat here and had my friend push the chips for me."

"If this counts as wrecking the place..."

Ye Chen paused and curled the corner of his mouth.

"Then does that mean your 'Hongzhong' casino operates on a double standard?"

"When we lose money, we deserve to take the loss."

"When you lose money, you can just arbitrarily pin labels on us, accusing customers of cheating or wrecking the place?"

"Where in the world is there such logic?"

His words immediately made the surrounding gamblers restless.

That's right!

The young man didn't even touch the gambling equipment, so how could he have cheated?

If winning money means wrecking the place, then why the hell is this casino still open?

Might as well just rob us directly!

"Exactly! On what grounds!"

"When we were losing money, we didn't see you talking about rules!"

"Winning means we're cheaters? 'Hongzhong' can't afford to lose, right?!"

"A scam shop! Definitely a scam shop!"

For a moment, the crowd was indignant, and many gamblers who had lost their cool chimed in, and the scene gradually spiraled out of control...

Lin Hai's expression suddenly became extremely ugly.

He didn't expect Ye Chen's words to be so sharp, inciting the emotions of the surrounding gamblers in just a few sentences.

What shocked him even more was Ye Chen's calm and composed demeanor from beginning to end, which was definitely not something an ordinary person could possess.

This kid is probably not someone to be trifled with!

But things had reached this point, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, if he backed down, the reputation of 'Hongzhong' would be half ruined.

Lin Hai's eyes flashed with a fierce glint, and he shouted sharply.

"Everyone shut up!"

The dozen or so Men in Black behind him stepped forward in unison, and an aura of murderous intent spread, instantly suppressing many gamblers into silence.

Lin Hai stared fixedly at Ye Chen. "Sharp-tongued! I think you came here specifically to cause trouble! Kid, I don't care who you are, today you broke the rules of 'Hongzhong', so don't even think about..."

"Qingluo."

Ye Chen suddenly spoke calmly, cutting off Lin Hai's harsh words.

"Slap him."

"His mouth smells, it's bothering me."

As soon as his voice fell, Liu Qingluo, who had been standing quietly beside Ye Chen, moved!

Her movements were as fast as a ghost. Everyone present only felt a blur before their eyes, and a figure had already dashed in front of Lin Hai like an arrow released from a bow!

Lin Hai's pupils shrank!

He himself also possessed Earth Realm cultivation and reacted extremely quickly, subconsciously wanting to raise his hand to block.

But Liu Qingluo's speed far exceeded his imagination!

"Slap—!!!"

A loud slap exploded in the silent casino hall like a thunderclap!

Lin Hai didn't even see how Liu Qingluo attacked; he only felt a tearing pain in his left cheek, his head gave a 'buzz', and his entire body flew sideways completely out of control!

"Bang—" "Crash!!!"

His body knocked over a side table full of drinks, shattering glassware all over the floor. Alcohol mixed with blood splashed everywhere.

Lin Hai sprawled in the broken glass and alcohol stains, half his face swelling up at a visible rate. His mouth was split, blood was flowing, his sunglasses had flown off somewhere, and only horror and confusion remained in his eyes.

The entire "Hongzhong" casino hall fell into a deathly silence at this moment.

You could hear a pin drop.

All the gamblers, including the Men in Black that Lin Hai brought, were dumbfounded and frozen in place.

One slap... and it sent the seemingly tough Manager Lin flying?

Good heavens! This woman looks thin and weak, but she turned out to be so fierce?!

Ye Chen ignored everyone's gaze and looked calmly at Lin Hai.

"Alright. You have lost the qualification to talk to me."

"Go get someone who can actually make decisions to come out. If you don't give me an explanation today..."

Ye Chen paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Then I will truly raze your 'Hongzhong' to the ground."

As soon as his voice fell, the whole scene suddenly woke up from the deathly silence, and then fell into a state of shock!

All the gamblers stared at Ye Chen in astonishment, as if looking at a madman.

This kid... not only dared to hit the manager on 'Hongzhong' territory, but actually dared to threaten to raze 'Hongzhong' to the ground?

Does he not know who is behind 'Hongzhong'?

Well... they didn't know either, but being able to open a casino in such a place and remain safe for so many years, the background must be heaven-defying!

But amidst the shock, many people felt a faint sense of excitement rising in their hearts.

To be honest, this young man is really fucking awesome!

They also wanted to see... if this young man could get that money back. Maybe they could "rob" back the money they lost too?

Lin Hai struggled to crawl up from the ground, covering his swollen left cheek, his eyes filled with shock and anger.

He stared fixedly at Ye Chen, his voice somewhat slurred due to his swollen cheek.

"You are presumptuous!!!"

"Do you know what kind of place this is?!"

"Daring to cause trouble at 'Hongzhong' and hitting me, Lin Hai... you kid are tired of living!!!"

Ye Chen frowned.

His body swayed slightly, and everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and Ye Chen appeared in front of Lin Hai like a ghost.

Immediately after, he raised his right foot and mercilessly stepped on Lin Hai's head, which had just been raised, pressing his half-supported body back onto the ground hard!

"Bang!"

Lin Hai's side face made intimate contact with the ground full of broken glass again. The excruciating pain made him let out a pig-like scream, and blood flowed out...

Ye Chen applied a little more force with his foot and ground it down.

"I don't care what kind of place this is."

"Debts must be repaid, it is only right and proper."

"Are you trying to welch on my debt?"

Lin Hai felt like his skull was about to be crushed.

He was not only in pain but also extremely terrified.

In a panic, Lin Hai roared at his stunned subordinates around him: "What the fuck are you all standing there for? Do it! Kill these two bastards!!!"

Those Men in Black suddenly woke up, fierce light surging in their eyes. They all let out a roar and pounced on Ye Chen from all directions!

But... Liu Qingluo moved again!

The dagger at her waist had already slid into her palm.

The next second, her figure was like the wind, dashing towards the first two burly men who pounced on her. The short blade in her hand turned into two cold arcs of light!

"Swish! Swish!"

The blade accurately slashed across both men's wrists! Blood sprayed!

The two burly men fell to the ground screaming, their weapons dropped, and the tendons in their wrists were severed on the spot, completely losing their combat effectiveness.

Liu Qingluo did not stop her steps, continuing to flash back and forth among the group of Men in Black. Every time the dagger swung, someone was bound to fall.

Although she had monstrous hatred for the Hidden Sect in her heart, wishing she could cut these people into a thousand pieces to avenge her family who died tragically.

But Ye Chen didn't tell her to kill, so she wouldn't rashly take anyone's life. This was the rule, and also her absolute obedience to Ye Chen's orders.

Besides... the real enemy wasn't this group of small fries, but the eldest young lady of the Hidden Sect!

In just ten seconds, the dozen or so Men in Black who pounced on her were all lying on the ground screaming, their hand and foot tendons severed, unable to get up again.

When Liu Qingluo sheathed her blade and stood back by Ye Chen's side... everyone finally snapped out of it, a hint of terror appearing in their eyes.

Holy shit! This woman is really tough, and fierce too...

Ye Chen's foot was still on Lin Hai's head, his gaze sweeping over the wailing thugs on the floor, asking calmly: "Now, can you go call for someone?"

"Go! Go now!" Lin Hai was scared shitless and roared at the bunny girl, "Go call the adults quickly!"

The bunny girl clamped her legs together and hurriedly wiggled her butt as she ran towards the inner hall.

Before long, figures began to emerge from the door of the inner hall.

The first to walk out were twenty-two figures. They wore dark black martial arts uniforms similar to the previous Earth Fiend Guards.

The twenty-two people had a thick aura and steady footsteps; every step they took brought an invisible sense of oppression.

They were surprisingly twenty-two Yellow Realm experts!

After walking out, they did not continue to move forward but separated into two rows, bowing slightly. It was as if they were stars surrounding the moon.

Immediately after, a figure slowly stepped out from the door.

That was a man who looked to be about fifty years old, wearing a dark red robe, with long hair draped down, a gaunt face, and a wisp of gray-white long beard on his chin.

Elder Hong! One of the Inner Sect elders of the Hidden Sect, a Xuan Realm expert!

He walked over step by step, staring at Ye Chen.

"Young man. On the territory of the Hidden Sect, hitting people of the Hidden Sect, stepping on the face of the Hidden Sect... your courage is not ordinary."
