Song Qingshan was stopped by Qin Fang, and he was slightly stunned, apparently also a bit surprised.

However, after a brief exchange of glances with Qin Fang, he nodded silently and sat back down to rest.

The tacit understanding between him and Qin Fang wasn't developed in just a day or two. He knew that Qin Fang wasn't the kind of person who acted impulsively; if Qin Fang wasn't fully confident, he definitely wouldn't take this risk.

On the contrary, the reason Qin Fang stopped him from fighting was because he felt this expert might pose a threat to Song Qingshan…

Although the Thirteen Taibao Horizontal Training Golden Bell Cover is powerful, it's not completely without flaws, and the same goes for the Great Strength Eagle Claw Technique; it's not always possible to easily cripple the opponent.

Marco brought this expert, undoubtedly having briefed him beforehand. Although he hadn't witnessed the previous matches firsthand, he was already very cautious of Song Qingshan, so catching him off guard wouldn't be so easy anymore…

And this was just a relatively minor issue, the kind that Qin Fang could overlook. The main reason Qin Fang was wary and unwilling to let Song Qingshan go was because Qin Fang's Scouting Skill indicated... this expert, apart from being very powerful, also knew an extremely potent sorcery.

This should be a sorcery similar to mind-affecting magic, capable of clouding one's mind. In a high-level match, there's no room for even the slightest error. If one's mind suddenly gets clouded during an intense fight, it would be extremely dangerous.

"You…"

Marco was quite cautious of Qin Fang, mainly because he had seen Qin Fang defeat the Grandmaster Level Karate expert Kyokushin Genichi. So when Qin Fang volunteered to fight, he didn't agree immediately but turned to check with his expert.

"Alright, you can do it then…"

However, the expert didn't seem to mind, as he could probably sense that in terms of pure strength, Song Qingshan might be slightly stronger than Qin Fang.

So, competing with Qin Fang would be a tad easier than going against Song Qingshan…

Of course, in a battle between experts, it's not just about power; there are other aspects of confrontation. Often, those extra skills are crucial when the strength is evenly matched.

This expert had used such a method to defeat or kill opponents before…

Since neither side had any objections, they immediately agreed to sign a life-and-death contract, which is a must in the ring; there's no blame if you die from the blows…

As for the bet between Marco and Kong Er, it was naturally raised directly to a billion Hong Kong dollars, a truly massive gamble… Even in Macau's casinos, such a big bet is extremely rare.

"Be careful…"

As Qin Fang stepped onto the ring, even He Zongguan warned Qin Fang with a heavy expression.

Clearly, from his perspective, even He Zongguan wasn't very confident in Qin Fang's battle with the expert…

The expert brought by Marco was Song Zhan, a Lu Songren of Chinese descent. Though his appearance suggested that his Chinese bloodline was quite thin, the mere fact that he used a Chinese surname showed that his ancestors belonged to the same ethnic group as Qin Fang and his companions.

However, Song Zhan never admitted he was a person of Chinese descent and always considered himself a true Lu Songren, even harboring intense hatred towards the Chinese.

Throughout Southeast Asia, the power of people of Chinese descent is vast, almost monopolizing most businesses and even controlling many crucial industries.

This wouldn't be a big deal, but some natives believed that the Chinese exploited them, leading to intense hatred against the Chinese. Numerous anti-Chinese riots had erupted in many countries, with rampant destruction, looting of Chinese shops, and violent attacks on people of Chinese descent…

Marco's father was the Fruit King of Lu Song, with businesses spread across the entire Luzon Island. However, during business competitions, it's unavoidable that conflict arises with many Chinese merchants, thus this old man also harbors deep hatred towards the Chinese…

As this old man's personal guard and hitman, Song Zhan had frequently attacked and killed Chinese people for him… so much that he even forgot he had some Chinese blood himself.

This was also why Marco couldn't get along well with Kong Er; frankly, this brat too harbored significant prejudice against the Chinese…

If it weren't that Lu Song didn't offer much entertainment and couldn't compare to Hong Kong Island, he wouldn't have been willing to stay there for long periods.

It's said that Song Zhan's martial arts were passed down within his family, but he traveled across Southeast Asia, apprenticed with many renowned masters, honing his cultivation to exceptional levels.

With his prowess, he's undoubtedly ranked among the top five experts in Luzon…

Of course, the fact that he only ranks in the top five with a Master Level Late Stage power simply indicates that Luzon's martial arts level is relatively backward…

This isn't surprising, as truthfully, Lu Songren were merely natives, and their martial arts were all passed down from Dragon Country, so it's not unexpected that their level wasn't up to par.

When he was young, Song Zhan traveled everywhere to study under various masters, learning the essence of different martial arts, then integrated them into something uniquely his own, which made his abilities exceptionally strong.
