Chapter 764: Chapter 764
Ding Fan had left the casino, and Fei Yin also walked directly out of the casino.
After leaving the casino, Fei Yin went straight to the surveillance room.
"What just happened?" At this moment, a middle-aged man with a big beard saw Fei Yin enter and asked.
"Lao Jiang, let me see the replay of just now," Fei Yin said hurriedly.
The man known as Lao Jiang knew exactly what Fei Yin was referring to; he immediately arranged for someone to pull up the video of Fei Yin rolling dice for Ding Fan.
Fei Yin repeatedly watched the video. No matter what, he was considered a Gambling Master, and he didn't even know how he had lost—it was simply too embarrassing.
Yet, after watching it over ten times and even slowing down the surveillance video, he still couldn't spot any faults.
Ding Fan had been sitting there all along, without moving at all...
Fei Yin watched a few more times, and after failing to find anything wrong, he directly turned off the video.
"So, how is it?" Lao Jiang asked from the side.
Fei Yin slightly shook his head. "I can't see when or how the other party cheated..."
At this point, Lao Jiang also frowned.
Lao Jiang knew Fei Yin well, and now even Fei Yin couldn't figure out how the opponent had cheated, which indicated how formidable the other party was.
"Is it possible that someone else was helping him?" Lao Jiang asked after pondering.
It was then that Fei Yin seemed to suddenly remember something. "Right, there's no way I could lose to a young man. There must have been someone else helping him from the side."
With this thought, Fei Yin hurriedly pulled up the video again.
However, after observing closely, he still couldn't find any clues. Fei Yin was quite deflated.
"It seems like Zhang Liang knows that person," Lao Jiang said after watching the video for a while, talking to Fei Yin.
"Who is Zhang Liang?" Fei Yin naturally did not recognize Zhang Liang.
"A good-for-nothing from Zhangzhou," Lao Jiang continued, leaning in close to speak to Fei Yin's ear. "The women that this wastrel brought on the ship this time are all pretty attractive. I think they are most suitable for cultivation practices..."
Fei Yin's eyes lit up after hearing Lao Jiang's words. Then a smile crept onto his lips. "Those three girls indeed have fine looks."
"But Lao Fei, the people from Thirteen Gates are all here this time. The two of us can't hog all the benefits; we need to call everyone else over," Lao Jiang said.
Fei Yin had no objections and nodded. "You are the leader; what you say goes."
"Let's do this. You go and gather everyone in the room on the third floor, and I'll bring Zhang Liang over..." Lao Jiang said.
"Strike now? Isn't it a bit early? Shouldn't we wait until we're out on the open sea?" Fei Yin mused.
Lao Jiang smiled. "Everyone from Thirteen Gates is here. If we can't handle a few people, then Thirteen Gates really might as well disband... Let's do it now. I'll bring Zhang Liang and his people to the third floor, and by then, we can eliminate all the men and keep the women for cultivation purposes."
Seeing Lao Jiang speak in such a manner, Fei Yin nodded his head and didn't say anything more...
At that point, the two of them split up to carry out their tasks.
At this moment, Ding Fan was enjoying the sea breeze with Qin Manshu and Zhang Wanyue, chatting about everything under the sun over drinks.
"Mr. Ding..." Just then, Zhang Liang, accompanied by Du Lei, Hao Wenyong, and Hao Jie, approached them.
"Mr. Ding, the captain of the cruise ship would like to see us; what do you think?..." Zhang Liang said to Ding Fan.
"Let's go take a look then," Ding Fan responded without hesitation.
In fact, since leaving the casino, Ding Fan's Divine Sense had been following Fei Yin, so he was well aware of the recent conversation Fei Yin had with Lao Jiang.
Instead of them coming to find him, he was also ready to deal with them. So as soon as Zhang Liang spoke, Ding Fan agreed.
"Thank you, Mr. Ding, for the consideration. Let's go," Zhang Liang said with a smile to Ding Fan.
Ding Fan then stood up, and Zhang Liang led the way, and soon the group was majestically headed towards the third floor.
Meanwhile, Ding Fan seized the moment when Zhang Liang and Du Lei were not paying attention, and gave Qin Manshu both Spirit Pills. Then he gestured towards Zhang Wanyue and then back at Qin Manshu.
Being incredibly astute, Qin Manshu immediately swallowed the Spirit Pills along with Zhang Wanyue.
These Spirit Pills were meant to calm nerves.
Before long, Ding Fan was bound to launch a massive assault; having the two girls nearby, Ding Fan worried they would get frightened, which is why he gave them the pills.
As for why he would bring them along knowing a bloody conflict was imminent, the primary reason was that since the cruise ship wasn't his territory and there were many of the opponent's people, having Qin Manshu and Zhang Wanyue close would allow him to protect them effectively.
Zhang Liang led the way, and soon, everyone had arrived at a lounge outside.
"Lao Jiang rarely hosts anyone, but since I'm friends with both you all and Lao Jiang, he's treating you with great courtesy," Zhang Liang said with a smile at the door.
Such rhetoric was merely to boast about his own importance and broad connections...
Hao Wenyong and Hao Jie followed suit with a couple of flattering remarks, while Ding Fan acted as if he hadn't heard anything at all. He was curious to see how this fool would react when Lao Jiang attempted to kill him later.
Zhang Liang knocked on the door, then led everyone into the lounge.
The lounge was quite spacious, covering at least seventy to eighty square meters.
A standard lounge was usually just a few square meters, while more luxurious ones were about thirty square meters at most, indicating that the occupant of this particular lounge was no ordinary person.
Zhang Liang walked in with everyone and initially wanted to exchange pleasantries with Lao Jiang, but upon entering, he felt that something was off about the atmosphere.
At that moment, there were already ten people in the room who had arrived before them.
All ten men had a dark and ominous look in their eyes, which was extremely terrifying.
"I... I came... to find Lao Jiang..." Zhang Liang felt the heavy atmosphere, causing him to stammer as he spoke.
"Zhang Liang, you've arrived quite quickly," said Lao Jiang, who was sipping on something as he walked out of a small room inside.
"Lao Jiang..." Upon seeing Lao Jiang, Zhang Liang hurriedly put on a smile. "What did you want to see me for?"
"Calling you here isn't for anything special," Lao Jiang said as he took a sip of his drink. "Simply put, I just want to ask for something from you, those three girls you brought today are not bad, I want to keep them."
"What?" Zhang Liang doubted his own ears for a moment. "What did you say, Lao Jiang? You're joking, right?"
"Kid, are you stupid? People from the Thirteen Gates don't have time to joke with you," a gaunt middle-aged man darkly said from the side.
Zhang Liang was dumbfounded at this point.
"Lao Jiang... we are brothers... if you want women, I can help you get them, but you can't touch these three women..."
Before Zhang Liang could finish his sentence, Lao Jiang slapped him across the face.
Zhang Liang hadn't even realized what happened when his right cheek swelled up significantly.
"You... you hit me?" Zhang Liang was a bit frantic after being hit.
Ever since he was young, it had always been him, Zhang Liang, who bullied others. When had it ever been his turn to be publicly slapped by someone else?
"You aren't yet qualified to call me brother," Lao Jiang said indifferently.
"Lao Jiang, this may be your yacht, but don't forget, I am a member of the Zhang family from Zhangzhou... If I wanted to deal with you, it would be extremely easy and enjoyable," Zhang Liang retorted.
Before Zhang Liang's words ended, another slap flew his way.
At that moment, Zhang Liang felt a buzzing in his ears and stars before his eyes.
"Boss, why the fuss? Just kill him and be done with it," the previously speaking gaunt middle-aged man stepped forward, now holding a gleaming knife in his hand.
Zhang Liang was stunned upon seeing the knife, and Du Lei behind him couldn't help but become nervous.
Zhang Liang and Du Lei were merely spoiled brats. Facing a truly ruthless person, they were also frightened.
"Big brother, let's talk this out, let's talk this out..." Du Lei hurriedly stepped forward, pulling Zhang Liang back to his side.
Lao Jiang glanced at Du Lei, then spoke. "I made myself clear, those three girls are good, I want to keep them."
"Big Brother, if you think they are good, then please keep them... as long as you let us brothers go," Du Lei hurriedly said.
"Du Lei, what are you saying?" Hao Jie, pale-faced, said from behind Du Lei. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Lao Jiang and his men looked ferocious, and Hao Jie knew that if he stayed, he would surely be harmed by these people.
And for the sake of his own life, Du Lei even suggested leaving them behind.
At that moment, Du Lei completely ignored what Hao Jie was saying, as he busily continued, "Big Brother, as long as you let us go, you can have whatever you want."
Seeing Du Lei act this way, Lao Jiang chuckled.
"You've behaved quite well, very good. Since that's the case, I'll reward you and let you watch firsthand how we enjoy these three little girls..."
As soon as Du Lei finished, he waved his hand toward the side.
The gaunt middle-aged man instantly leaped down. "Boss, let me go first, I was the last one at last year's gathering, it's my turn to be first this time..."
Upon finishing his sentence, the gaunt middle-aged man took two steps forward to reach Qin Manshu.
Out of the three women, Qin Manshu was the most stunning. Since her arrival, the eyes of the gaunt middle-aged man had never left her.
Qin Manshu and Zhang Wanyue, having previously ingested Ding Fan's Spirit Pill, were calm and not at all nervous.
But just as the middle-aged man was about to grab Qin Manshu, Ding Fan had already made his move.
Ding Fan lifted his foot and kicked, the gaunt middle-aged man didn't even have time to react and was sent flying by Ding Fan.
The gaunt middle-aged man ended up crashing into a wooden table, which finally broke his fall.
At that moment, the gaunt elder convulsed on the ground, evidently severely injured...
Lao Jiang looked at Ding Fan, his gaze filled with solemnity.
"Kid, who exactly are you?"
Knowing that the gaunt middle-aged man was strong and yet was kicked flying, Ding Fan's cultivation couldn't be weak either.
Considering how Ding Fan had previously defeated Fei Yin in the casino and now had kicked the gaunt elder flying, Lao Jiang felt that Ding Fan must be a person of significant influence.
"The one to kill you," Ding Fan said in a flat tone, devoid of any emotion.
Lao Jiang snorted lightly, then laughed.
"Kid, you've really got guts. All people from the Thirteen Gates are here, and you, a still not fully matured youth, dare to come to kill us?"
After Lao Jiang finished speaking, everyone from the Thirteen Gates burst into raucous laughter.
"There are a total of twelve people in the Thirteen Gates. I've already killed two... Today, I've come to settle the score with you all," Ding Fan stated.
As soon as Ding Fan's words finished, the laughter from the people of the Thirteen Gates abruptly stopped...
The lounge became extremely quiet for a moment...
