C66 (2/2)
”Are you looking down on me?”
The moment he turned around and looked at Sun Chun, he accidentally noticed the fifth brother who was following closely behind him. Seeing that he looked like he wanted to devour, Xia Li was so scared that he immediately turned around and pulled Sun Chun tightly, rushing forward.
Sun Chun naturally noticed the change in Xia Li, as he listened to the breathing and walking rhythm of Ol 'Five behind him. He was on guard against him at all times, preventing him from suddenly launching an attack and injuring Xia Li.
Xia Li took out a small note from his personal pocket, and walked through a few alleys, and then arrived at Red River Town's bank.
”Don't leave me by half a step. Take out the money and put it on you. It's safer.”
Xia Li took the note and found a shop assistant who was familiar with the bank. He took out fifty silver and placed it in his pocket, passing it over to Sun Chun.
”No problem.”
Sun Chun took the money bag and put it in his pocket, then pulled Xia Li along as he walked back.
The fifth brother was about two to three meters away from Xia Li and Xia Li. When he saw the fifty taels of silver, his expression was filled with surprise, thinking that this was Xia Li's little trick, but he never thought that she would actually be rich.
Sun Chun had long noticed that other than Ol 'Five, there were also other people sent by the Rich Man Yang at his side.
Xia Li and Sun Chun returned to the gambling house and placed a bag of fifty silver in front of Rich Man Yang. He was no longer in a joking mood and stared at the silver for a long time.
”God of Fortune, I placed the silver before you as promised. Can you sign the contract to confirm it?”
As Xia Li said this, he placed the contract he had found on Lao Si, as well as the one he had on himself previously, in front of Rich Man Yang.
”I'm a bit tired now, so I want to go back and rest. You can leave now!”
The Rich Man Yang said as he stood up to leave.
”God of Fortune, I paid you as promised. Are you really going to go back on your word?”
Xia Li immediately took out his dagger, took out a sharp blade and stabbed it into the table in front of Rich Man Yang, with a loud bang, the teacup on the table shook slightly.
The Rich Man Yang stopped and looked at Xia Li, who was holding onto a dagger with both hands and had an angry face, and smiled.
”Who do you really think you are? You dare to state conditions in front of me!? Are you qualified? ”
The anger in Xia Li's heart burned even hotter. That feeling of being insulted, was magnified infinitely in his heart, and he felt as if his entire person was being tormented within the flames.
”God of Fortune, don't force me. I value money more than my life, but I won't tolerate your bullying! ”Be careful, I will burn your gambling den to ashes!”
As Xia Li spoke, he took out a fire piston in his bosom and blew down with it, igniting it to flames.
”How dare you!”
Rich Man Yang flung his sleeves fiercely, staring at Xia Li.
”See if I dare! The reason I brought the silver today is so that I can meet you face to face and settle the debt of fifty silver taels, preventing you from cheating. After all, the reputation of this bet house is already rotten in Red River Town. ”
Xia Li said as he grabbed the curtain.
Rich Man Yang stared at the curtain in Xia Li's hands, afraid that she would light it with her torch, she clenched her teeth and roared at the people around her.
”What are you standing there in a daze for, hurry up and bring me the pen and paper!”
”Yes, Master!” The personal attendant immediately complied. Not long after, he brought over a tray with ink and paper.
With one hand holding the sleeves and the other holding the brush, Rich Man Yang bent over and wrote a few words on the two contracts, then sealed them with the seal that he carried with him. Taking the chance, Xia Li blew out the fire piston in his hand and took the contracts that belonged to him, which he kept on the table, back into his bosom.
”Thank you, God of Fortune!”
As Xia Li spoke, he took Sun Chun and left the gold gambling den.
The moment they walked out of the gambling den, Xia Li's heart started beating wildly. She felt that her legs had softened and she couldn't walk anymore.
The two of them walked towards the crowded market with tacit understanding, and in no time at all, they had shaken off the people from Rich Man Yang who had followed them.
Sun Chun brought Xia Li to hide in a teahouse. The two of them sat next to a window on the second floor and rested for the time being.
”You did well.”
The corner of his lips raised, which could be considered a compliment to Xia Li.
