Chapter 54 Set Fire to the Casino (1/2)
The guards who just picked themselves up dared not approach since Xiao Bing was clutching at their boss's throat so hard.
”Who... who are you...” Huang Daotian's face turned purple because it was hard for him to breath. His girl crouched on the floor and screamed with her head in her hands.
Xiao Bing walked to the door while clutching Huang Daotian's throat. Zhu Liya followed him while dragging her husband. Everyone watched them leave. Though Xiao Bing was just a human, they could not help having this feeling that the casino was completely in his control and it was him that decided their lives and deaths.
As Xiao Bing walked upstairs step by step, Huang Daotian was about to faint. Xiao Bing then threw him on the floor. His fellow men soon came around in a flurry and helped him stand. Xiao Bing gave him a calm glance, in which slight scorn was hidden. ”Murder is illegal and your crime is not enough to sentence you to death. So I'll just give you a lesson. Don't make rules whenever you meet a person. You are far from qualified to do that. There are masters among the ordinary. Haven't you heard of it?”
Suddenly Xiao Bing took out a lighter from his pocket and grinned viciously, ”Now I'll give a second lesson. You will never walk away from the law. Even though the government didn't punish you, you will pay for what you did. There's no need for a casino anymore...”
Xiao Bing threw the lighter away and a tablecloth soon started to burn. One of the staff wanted to put it out but then he heard Xiao Bing's leisurely voice, ”Just stand and watch. You will never see this much fun for the rest of your life. Anyone who wants to disturb this will burn as well.”
Then all of them could only watch the fire grow and do nothing about it. Huang Daotian almost passed out because of the anger. Seeming to be a little crazy, Huang Daotian shouted, ”Even though you are strong enough to beat us all, you don't want to mess with the true owner of this casino. Do you know who that is? It's the North Heavenly Queen, also known as the Peony Fairy. She is the boss of the three sections of the northern part of Jiang City. She will kill you for burning the casino.”
”Really?” Xiao Bing pretended to be shocked. But then he shook his head, ”I don't know her!”
”Damn!” Huang Daotian inwardly cursed since he dared not to make a sound. He swore that he would tell this to the North Heavenly Queen and request her to kill him.
As the fire spread rapidly, the people in the casino all began to get worried because the fire was getting out of control. But they still dared not directly walk out when they saw Xiao Bing blocking their way out. Some of them started to curse.
Xiao Bing smiled and looked at Zhu Liya. ”Let's get out of here.”
Zhu Liya gave him a glance of surprise, then she nodded her head. Her husband looked back at the casino. Zhu Liya found pity in her husband's eyes, which was just as what she had expected.
After they walked to the street, the people in the casino rushed out one by one because the fire was completely out of control. Xiao Bing called a taxi and got into the car with Zhu Liya and her husband. On the way back, Zhang Gui was smiling brazenly and asked her how much money she had. But she was silent and was giving him a hard time.
After arriving at Zhu Liya's apartment, they all got off. Xiao Bing said, ”Go home now. Mrs. Zhu, I should have asked him for the money back...”
”It's okay,” said Zhu Liya in a low voice. ”Man or woman, they all should keep their promises. I'll return the 100 thousand to you in one year. Thank you for helping me today. I owe you a big favor.”
”Don't think too much. I live not far from here. I'll leave then,” said Xiao Bing, grinning.
”Okay.”
Then Zhu Liya walked towards her apartment and Xiao Bing headed towards the direction of the Su Family. But Zhang Gui stood still, looking hesitantly. Zhu Liya took out the key and opened the door. But she frowned when she looked back at her husband, ”Zhang Gui, why are you just standing there?”
”It's a man's business. You stay out of it, woman. I'll come back after I have talked to my buddy.”
Zhang Gui seemed to have decided something and rushed towards Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing was confused upon seeing Zhang Gui running after him. ”Why don't you go to your home? You have something to say to me?”
”Yes. Let's find a place with fewer people. I need to talk to you about something.”
Xiao Bing intended to ignore him at first, but he was curious about what was in his head. So he followed him. A moment later they stopped at an unfrequented roadside and stood facing each other. Looking at Zhang Gui who seemed to be a little uneasy, Xiao Bing asked, ”Go ahead then, what is it?”
”Well... Did you take a fancy to my wife?” said Zhang Gui, who was smiling and rubbing his hands.
