Chapter 14: A Sudden Quarrel Erupts into a Fierce Fight

Page (1/3)

“Victory! Hahaha, I won again! Betting alongside this young man is truly exhilarating!”
“Too bad I didn’t bet much earlier, so the winnings aren’t substantial—actually a slight loss!”
“Brother, keep betting. Whatever you wager, I’ll follow suit!”
“This young man really is a lucky charm. If you lead us to another win, how about I treat you for free tonight?” The alluring woman smiled flirtatiously at Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan paid no heed to the gamblers' words, merely smiling faintly as he turned to the beautiful dealer. “Whether we win or lose ultimately depends on the delicate hands of this lovely dealer, right everyone?”

At these words, the crowd fell silent, unwilling to reply. Jiang Fan’s implication was clear—the dealer controlled the outcome.

Or rather: the house cheats. If they want you to lose, you lose; if they want you to win, you win.

In other words, the game was rigged.

For a moment, the gambling table was engulfed in silence.

After a brief pause, the woman gambler couldn’t help but speak up: “Young man, you should be careful with your words! Watch your tongue or trouble will find you!”

“That’s right, just play a couple of rounds, but don’t say such things,” another chimed in.

“Enough! Let’s keep betting. Young man, are you going big or small?”

Others quickly tried to ease the tension.

However, the beautiful dealer became hesitant to deal cards and her voice turned icy. “Young man, what exactly do you mean by that?”

“Literal meaning? Isn’t that a rhetorical question?” Jiang Fan replied bluntly.

The dealer’s expression darkened immediately. She glanced toward the casino’s guards, giving them a subtle signal.

Soon, several guards approached the table, each wearing an unfriendly expression.

“Young man, you really dare say anything! Let’s see how you’ll end up now!”

“Look, the casino’s guards have arrived. This won’t end well!”

“This young man has truly stirred up big trouble this time!”

The crowd watched as uniformed guards surrounded the gambling table, their faces revealing fear and caution. They quickly made way and stepped back at a distance, careful not to invite unnecessary trouble.

“Brother, reckless words come with consequences! Our Prosperity Casino prides itself on fairness—no cheating, pure luck decides wins and losses. Otherwise, why would so many patrons support us? Since you speak so carelessly, you must pay the price!” The female dealer’s gaze toward Jiang Fan was cold and sharp.

Though Jiang Fan had some status, he could not afford to disrespect Prosperity Casino. Yet, having spoken boldly before so many, it was impossible to let this slide.

“What? Don’t you dare take responsibility for your deeds?” Jiang Fan showed no fear, even a hint of mockery in his eyes.

“You brat! Your mouth is filthy! Come with us!” The leader of the guards, an imposing man, glared icily and reached out to grab Jiang Fan’s shoulder.

Jiang Fan frowned slightly. Now that his cultivation had reached the second stage of the “Azure Wood Spring Technique,” his strength and senses had greatly improved. Seeing the burly guard’s hand coming for his shoulder, he effortlessly dodged with a swift move.

“Hmph! I simply stated a fact! Do you want to attack me?” Jiang Fan looked coldly at the five guards around him, a chill flashing through his eyes.

If they dared to make a move, he would make them regret it.

“So you still slander Prosperity Casino’s reputation? Seems we’ve been too lenient, letting you think this place is easy to bully!” The guard captain growled. “Take him down, bring him to the third floor, and hand him over to the boss.”

They clearly knew Jiang Fan was no ordinary man and dared not use fatal force. Otherwise, anyone who previously dared to slander or question Prosperity Casino would have been brutally subdued and beaten without mercy.

Yet Jiang Fan had repeatedly “slandered” the casino. They had no choice but to restrain him first, then deliver him upstairs for the boss’s judgment.

“What’s going on? The guards are unusually gentle this time.”
“I think this is strange too. Before, anyone who insulted Prosperity Casino ended up badly—beaten on the spot and thrown out. Why is it different now?”
“Could the casino have changed the rules?”
“Not impossible.”

Most of the surrounding gamblers stopped betting and stared, curious about the unusual behavior of the guards.

“Kid, I advise you to cooperate, or you won’t like the outcome!”

“Kid, come with us.”

Four burly guards closed in on Jiang Fan, their eyes fierce and merciless.

Jiang Fan refused to be passive. As the four men surrounded him, he flipped over and landed behind the beautiful dealer. Grabbing a tea table, he swung it at the rushing guards.

His strength had surged to at least 200 pounds of force. The table felt like a toy in his hands—effortless to wield.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Jiang Fan slammed the table into the four guards. After four heavy blows, the table shattered, and two of the guards were knocked to the ground, unable to stand.

“Kid, you... you dare resist?”
“You’ve crossed the line! Get him!”

Though wary, the two guards believed Jiang Fan’s sudden assault was unexpected; otherwise, they could not have been toppled so quickly.

“Looking for death!” Jiang Fan seized a sharp table leg and thrust it into one guard’s chest.

“Aaah...” A piercing scream erupted from the guard as the weapon pierced his chest. Pain drained his color, and he clutched his wound desperately.

Without mercy, Jiang Fan pulled out the table leg and kicked the injured guard aside. Dodging another fierce punch, he drove the sharp leg into the abdomen of the next guard.

“Ah... it hurts... it’s killing me...” The final guard was gravely wounded and dared not attack further.

Jiang Fan coldly stared at the four men. “You’re all trash. None of you have the right to take me down.”

The scene stunned everyone present. They never expected this young man to be so ruthless—single-handedly defeating four guards of Prosperity Casino. Most astonishing was his audacity to cause trouble here.

Everyone wondered if Jiang Fan was out of his mind or courting death.
