”Because of you, my underling, Ol 'Five, lost his life. A gambling den was burnt to ashes, and now that you've paid my debt, it's all right, is it possible?” Rich Man Yang suddenly slammed the table, and the barbarians standing on both sides thrust their spears towards Xia Li.

Sun Chun embraced Xia Li's slender waist, and thrusted a few silver needles from his left sleeve towards Rich Man Yang's face.

Rich Man Yang was so frightened that he immediately grabbed the other barbarians and placed them in front of him to protect himself. A few silver needles flew out and pierced into the eyes of the few barbarians blocking in front of Rich Man Yang.

”Catch them!” ”Faster!”

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one on the first floor, the two of them quickly ran out of the house and into an alley where no one was chasing. Only when they saw no one chasing them did Xia Li let out a sigh of relief.

He only remembers the grudge we had from before. This time, it's already difficult for us to repay the debt, but fortunately, I brought the notes out in advance. If he accepted the notes and repudiated the debt, even if I had a hundred mouths to speak of, I would not be able to do so.

”This is a bad debt. He never intended to let you go.” Sun Chun stood at the side as a cold sternness flashed across his eyes, the corner of his mouth pressed into a straight line.

”To deal with this kind of person, only people with fists stronger than his would be able to subdue him.” Xia Li unintentionally said. Thinking up to here, she already had a way to resolve this issue. She grabbed Sun Chun's hand, asking for his opinion.

”I plan to let Yang Xuechen negotiate with the Rich Man Yang to settle this matter.”

”Yang Xuechen is a businessman, he will not meddle in other people's business, and will not do business with loss money. Before you want to do it, think twice.”

”Go back first. I will think carefully about how I can settle this matter. If I must go and beg Yang Xuechen, even if I have to pay the price, I will concede.”

Sun Chun's hand that was hidden in his sleeve tightly clenched, and without saying much, he grabbed Xia Li's hand, and left the alley.

When Xia Li and Sun Chun came to the town in the morning, she had heard about the matter of Rich Man Yang being violently beaten up at night. She was extremely shocked, and when she thought about how Rich Man Yang had been secretly brought to the wilderness by someone and starved for several days and nights, she felt that there was someone secretly helping her.

”What are you thinking about?” Sun Chun stood beside her and asked.

”Nothing, I'm just a little surprised.” Xia Li smiled, he was becoming more and more curious, and then there were those people who saved her at the Gold-ranked Gambling Casino, who were they? Were they the same people?

”There they are!” Following a burst of urgent shouts, a few people from the bet house ran towards Xia Li's direction.

When Xia Li saw those familiar faces, he subconsciously moved closer to Sun Chun and looked at him with a solemn expression.

”What do you want to do?” Sun Chun's face was full of vigilance as he held Xia Li's hand and asked these brawny fellows.

”You misunderstand, our lord. Today, we are here to invite you two back to the gambling den to settle the debt that the Xia family owes our lord. From now on, the two families have nothing to do with each other.”

”We believe you, that's why we have a ghost. All of you, scram!”

”Grandaunt, we beg of you.” The few barbarians kneeled in front of Xia Li and kowtowed to her. Their hands clasped in front of them and they knocked heavily on the ground.

This time, Xia Li was determined, and did not bother with them anymore, pulling Sun Chun away.

”Aunt, if you don't believe me, you can kill me with this blade.” The leader of the barbarians actually took out a dagger and handed it over to Xia Li, requesting her to test its authenticity.

”What the hell are you guys playing? Yesterday, you were so arrogant that you wanted to eat me! Why did you suddenly come begging for help today?” Xia Li threw the dagger in his hand and retreated two steps, his face filled with suspicion.

”Aunt, did you hear about our lord being beaten by a mysterious man last night? Master said that if we don't shake hands with you and end this debt with you, those people will take our lord's life!”

The boorish man knelt on the ground and tried to explain with all his might, just in case Xia Li didn't believe him.

”What should we do?” Xia Li didn't have an idea for a while and asked Sun Chun who was beside him.

”Listen to your own thoughts.” Sun Chun stood at the side, he did not plan to intervene, his gaze was cold as he looked at a gold gambling house not far from them, the corners of his mouth raised in ridicule.

”Aunt, from now on, you and our grandpa will make up and settle the debt. From now on, don't you have a big backer in the Red River Town? No one will dare to offend you in the future, isn't that also a good thing for you?”

Xia Li held Sun Chun's hand tightly and leaned close to his ear, whispering: ”I intend to talk to Rich Man Yang again, to see if I can resolve this matter.”

”If you want to do it, then do it, and I'll be by your side.” Sun Chun patted her shoulder as he encouraged her.

Xia Li looked around, then looked at the few brawny men kneeling on the ground: ”Then let Rich Man Yang come to the nearby tea stand, it can only bring four or five people, if there are more, we will leave.”

”But, our lord can't go down.” The boorish man said with a sad face.
