In the casino, everyone was a confidant of Kong Erhu.
They had already grown accustomed to Kong Erhu's ruthless and deceitful ways.
Yet, witnessing him suddenly deciding to make a move against Chief Bodyguard Yi Long, everyone felt a chilling sensation.
Kong Erhu was just too terrifying, his venomous heart more poisonous than that of a viper.
Mr. Jing stroked his goatee, squinting his eyes for a moment.
Then, he nodded his head without saying a word.
In fact, Kong Erhu had long harbored the intent to kill Yi Long.
The relationship between a chief bodyguard and his boss is like that between an emperor and his generals.
When the cunning hare is done, the hound is cooked!
Although the cunning hare was still around, the hound was already paralyzed and ruined—unable to escape its fate of being cooked.
The very nature of Yi Long, along with his superb martial arts skills, meant he was never going to be fully under Kong Erhu's control.
And such a sharp knife, if not completely in the hands of its master, always poses the risk of injuring the master.
However, even though Mr. Jing could understand Kong Erhu's thoughts, the latter's nature of turning against people without recognition left him feeling a chill in his heart.
He shuddered inwardly.
Yi Long's face lost its composure, his voice hoarse, "Boss Kong, even if I'm rendered incapable now, is there really a need to be so heartless?"
"Could you have risen to power in Yannan City without me, Yi Long?"
Kong Erhu sneered, the dagger in his hand flashing coldly, "I can only blame your misfortune. I'm now cornered with no way out by Yang Fei and have no choice but to use your little life."
"Once you are dead, Yang Fei will be suspected of fighting and accidental homicide and will be arrested."
"With my connections in Yannan Prison, he won't even know how he dies once he's caught!"
"With Yang Fei out of the picture, that little broad from Lanting Hotel won't be able to escape the palm of my hand. For the grand cause of Lord Tiger, I'll have to inconvenience you."
As he spoke, his dagger thrust towards Yi Long's throat.
Watching the chief bodyguard, who used to make life difficult for him, struggle under the blade brought an indescribable pleasure and relief to Kong Erhu's heart.
"You're so cruel..."
Yi Long, with his limbs and twelve major joints dislocated and his body weak and limp, unable to exert any force,
watched the dagger in Kong Erhu's hand stabbing down, his heart in a frenzy.
Driven to panic, he agitated his internal injuries and couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of fresh blood.
"You can't kill me—if someone dies here, the place will be shut down," Yi Long said, his face pallid, suddenly thinking of something, desperately trying to buy time.
"Haha, let it be shut down! Do you think this casino can continue to operate?"
"The cash flow of the casino has already been whisked away by that bastard Yang Fei, how can it go on?"
Kong Erhu laughed bitterly, the dagger in his hand already touching Yi Long's throat.
The sharp point of the dagger slightly drew blood.
He looked down at Yi Long with smugness, "You're thinking of Lord Tiger's casino even at death's door; should the Lord Tiger show mercy?"
"Don't worry, even if the casino is shut down, after this passes, Lord Tiger has ways to reopen."
Kong Erhu said, the fierce look on his face fleeting.
The killing intent in his eyes surged, "Rest in peace."
Kong Erhu's dagger pulled back slightly, then thrust forcefully towards Yi Long's throat's vital spot.
Bang!
Just then, a barstool smashed over from afar.
The immense force of the collision turned Kong Erhu into a tumbling gourd, causing even the dagger in his hand to fly out.
"Who's there?"
Kong Erhu's plump body, sprawled in a ridiculous posture on the ground,
his forehead bruised by the barstool, looked towards the casino door with panic.
"Fan Yi!"
At the entrance of the casino, a tall and upright man dressed in a white trench coat stood.
He looked at Kong Erhu indifferently, "You fucker, to get at Brother Fei, you even kill your own people, are you still human?"
"Come on, kill him for me!"
Kong Erhu's plot to kill had been exposed, and he was instantly furious and frustrated.
His boiling murderous intent was all directed at Fan Yi now.
The roar of Kong Erhu traveled far and wide.
Strangely, not a single person charged out.
Inside the courtyard, there were only four hoodlums and Mr. Jing.
Seeing the force of Fan Yi, no one dared to rush over.
"Dream on, all your guys outside have been taken down by me."
"Heh, with those few moves of yours, you still want to go against Brother Fei?"
Fan Yi looked at Kong Erhu with a mocking smile, his handsome face filled with disdain.
"What, you've taken down my men..."
Kong Erhu's eyes bulged, his mouth gaping open into an O shape, unable to close.
Kong Erhu was an old hand in Mortal World, unfazed by sudden changes.
But tonight, his steadfast nerves couldn't withstand the successive shocks.
Yang Fei had just arrived and, amid laughter, swept away more than 20 million from the casino.
He had foiled Kong Sanhu's cheating techniques, and with just a few punches and kicks, left the chief bodyguard Yi Long completely paralyzed.
Now here was Fan Yi, silently, having taken down all his own men.
Moreover, what was most important was that these two powerful men were actually on the same side.
Is this going to let anyone live?
"You... what do you want?"
Kong Erhu looked at Fan Yi with fear, his body starting to tremble.
Fan Yi slowly walked over, speaking indifferently, "Rest assured, Brother Fei has instructed us. We are legitimate businessmen, we don't get involved in Mortal World affairs, and we don't randomly kill or injure people, let alone do anything to you."
"However, your intention to kill and frame others has been anticipated by Brother Fei, and he sent me to take this brother away."
With that, he hoisted Yi Long onto his shoulder and turned to stride towards the exit.
Yi Long let out a long sigh.
Having been crippled by Yang Fei, and now rescued by Yang Fei's brother, his feelings were complicated.
"Stop..."
As Fan Yi had just reached the main entrance, he was blocked by a man.
The man's hands were wrapped in bandages, and his head was also bandaged tightly, resembling a mummy.
However, his eyes revealed an extremely fierce gleam.
"Oh, and who might this be..."
The corners of Fan Yi's eyes slightly lifted, a chill flashing through them.
"I am Adong. Has Lord Tiger let you go?"
"Who do you think you are, daring to come here to rescue someone?"
Adong's face was resolute, and his eyes gleamed with a fierceness akin to that of a leopard.
Fan Yi found it both funny and meaningful, looking deeply at this little underling who wasn't afraid of death.
He said indifferently, "It's been many years since anyone has dared to talk to me like this. It's quite refreshing to hear now."
"Adong, come here!"
Kong Erhu shouted from a distance.
Even in such dire straits, Adong remained fiercely loyal.
That moved Kong Erhu immensely, yet also made him extremely anxious, afraid that Adong would provoke the fearsome Fan Yi.
Adong was startled, looked at Fan Yi's calm face, and then glanced at Kong Erhu in the distance.
Finally, he stepped aside, "I'm not afraid of you, but if Lord Tiger lets you go, then I won't stop you."
The expression on Fan Yi's face remained calm and collected as he carried Yi Long out of Junhao Casino.
As soon as Fan Yi left, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
