The stool provided by the casino was an adjustable round stool with a stainless steel tube in the center, made of two layers of steel tubes fitted together. Despite the stool's overall light weight, this section of the steel tube was very sturdy.
Ordinary people, even if pressing down on one end and kicking with their feet, might not be able to bend it much, but Qin Fang had managed to bend that steel tube with just his hands.
One could imagine how strong his grip must be; bending a steel tube like that, and if applied to human arms, it would certainly snap them clean off with a crisp crack.
These second-generation rich kids had never seen such a fierce man before and were instantly scared stiff, all of them gaping, gasping for air and revealing a look of panic in their eyes when they looked at Qin Fang.
Of course, the impact on Jiang Li, who was standing next to Qin Fang, was no less than that on those rich heirs. Moreover, she was closer and witnessed with her own eyes how Qin Fang's mere effort twisted the stool. Now it was so deformed that it couldn't even stand upright, with its center of gravity completely shifted to one side.
Gazing at the boy next to her, who, while not exceptionally handsome, had a certain appeal, Jiang Li's beautiful eyes sparkled with an unusual light.
It must be said that such a display of brute strength had a considerable impact on women; how many beauties could resist such a strong and vigorous man?
Especially when exerting force, the muscles hard as iron appeared like they were ferociously baring their fangs and claws, a terrifying sight yet at the same time, a representation of beauty.
"Any more questions? If not, come over and apologize..."
With a single move, Qin Fang had subdued the group of rich kids opposite him. Casually waving the deformed stool in his hand, he put on a relaxed demeanor, yet each swing of the stool invariably caught the attention of many on the other side, fearing that it might inadvertently fly towards their heads.
"Young Master Ming..."
Some were moved. Facing such a domineering man as Qin Fang, they certainly didn't dare take him lightly. Those who could enter the Jin Cheng Salon were no ordinary people; their status was definitely not inferior to theirs. They were simply children with some rotten family money; when meeting someone with a stronger presence, they too had to swallow their pride.
However, they didn't dare make any rash moves and could only focus their gaze on the leader among them. They would follow his decision while trying to save a bit of face for themselves.
The leader, a young man who looked to be about the same age as Qin Fang, around twenty or so, was dressed in rather expensive casual clothes. He wore a Patek Philippe watch on his wrist, which was quite valuable. He clearly had substantial family wealth, even without gambling at Baccarat or All-in, instead splurging tens of thousands at a time on slot machines, which didn't cost any less in comparison.
"We are civilized people, using our fists is beneath our status. I won't sink to your level..."
Qin Fang's dominance indeed frightened him, but he quickly recovered. He wasn't as nervous and frightened as the others, still relatively calm.
"How about this? If you win, I will immediately apologize to the lady and give you a hundred thousand in cash. But if I win... I won't ask for too much, just that the lady agrees to have dinner with me!"
This guy was slippery enough, switching from force to a softer approach and daring to make demands under such circumstances, still fixated on Jiang Li. He sure had guts.
"I don't agree to that! An apology is what the lady deserves and should not be used as a bargaining chip for a bet... If you want to gamble with me, that's fine! Either apologize first, or... raise the stakes!"
How could Qin Fang let himself be caught in his trap? He shook his head immediately in denial. There was no such free lunch. If you would only apologize after winning, and if you lost, you just wiped the slate clean and also tried to include a dinner date—what a loss that would be! Even if Qin Fang knew he was bound to win, he couldn't afford to be so obviously at a disadvantage.
After all, this was a fool begging to be fleeced. Jiang Li got a bit of a scare, so a bit of compensation for emotional distress was in order. As for how much that compensation would be, it depended on whether this fool took the bait.
"Then what do you want? How about this: if you win, I'll apologize immediately plus hand over a hundred thousand cash. If I win, the conditions stay the same!"
The young man seemed quite willing to invest. He simply threw down a hundred thousand, essentially pricing Jiang Li's dinner date at that sum, a figure that could rival the rates of top celebrities in the entertainment industry.
For those second or third-tier celebrities, that amount of money could cover an entire night of whatever play they wanted...
And at upscale entertainment venues outside, that kind could afford several high-class encounters for a whole night!
"A hundred thousand? Are you trying to brush off a beggar..."
But would such a sum be of any concern to Qin Fang?
Clearly not.
Such a fool naturally needed to be bled dry once to truly learn a lesson. Otherwise, he would never grasp how vast the sky was or how deep the sea...
Qin Fang glanced at the young man with a slight tilt of his mouth, returning with a contemptuous remark.
I thought this kid might come up with some impressive chips, but this is all the capital he's got? Really, it's too paltry to catch anyone's eye. At a high-end place like Jin Cheng Salon, a hundred thousand is just loose change, the kind of money nobody cares about. Just visiting the card games over there, you'll see each bet starting from well over a million...
Even when this young man played the slot machines himself, he had already poured in several hundred thousand. Clearly, he's loaded, but he's only willing to put forth this pittance—no way Qin Fang would agree to that.
In his own words, "This kind of money won't even cover my appearance fee..."
"Then how much do you want to add..."
The young man also couldn't help but frown. Qin Fang's bold statement left him feeling completely at sea, now looking at Qin Fang as one might look at a Gambling King who had dominated the gambling world for years.
"Impossible! He looks just the same as me..."
But he quickly dismissed the thought. Although there was no necessary correlation between one's age and gambling skill, most Gambling Kings reached their peak after years of honing their skills and only achieved fame after a defining, title-securing, century gambling event.
As far as he knew, the world's youngest Gambling King was already twenty-eight years old when he claimed the title, nearly a decade older than Qin Fang and with at least ten more years of gambling experience.
Therefore, at Qin Fang's age, one might have a modicum of success in gambling, but definitely not reach any great heights—just a bit better than the average person at most.
But this place, nominally a casino, was also part of Jin Cheng Salon; Cheating Experts couldn't possibly become members here, becoming a croupier or taking a seat at the venue was far more likely...
Thinking along these lines, the young man suddenly brimmed with confidence—it wasn't that his own Thousand Skills were exceptional, but he had another Killer Move up his sleeve.
"Not too much, just one million!"
Watching the young man opposite him, who seemed quite self-assured, Qin Fang slowly stated this figure.
Wow~~
As soon as Qin Fang spoke up, the place livened up. A few onlookers immediately let out a surprised hullabaloo, attracting the attention of many more.
This was Jin Cheng Salon, after all, where each person present was a notable character in Jincheng—a hundred thousand bet was no big deal, even scaling up to one million remained the same.
"Okay, I agree to it..."
Qin Fang quietly waited for the young man's reply, and he could see that when Qin Fang unabashedly called out such a large bet, even the young man couldn't help but show a change in his expression.
But, in the end, a bet of one million wasn't outrageous. He grit his teeth and agreed to such a stake, looking quite confident in his own gambling skills.
"I forgot to add one thing, it's in US Dollars, not RMB..."
Before the young man even had time to rejoice, Qin Fang had already made his follow-up shot.
One million RMB is indeed a substantial sum for the average Joe, and had it been before Qin Fang acquired this mysterious System, one million RMB would have been a fortune for him.
But now, neither party considered this one million to be of any importance; after all, the heritage that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years was not something the average person could match.
Pff~~
This time, when Qin Fang spoke up, many couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Though Qin Fang spoke easily, different currencies meant wholly different figures.
A bet of one million RMB was already quite impressive, and a gambling game of such scale was extremely rare; such a game typically involved a high-stakes battle of tens of millions.
But it just so happened that this gambling game was taking place between two noticeably young individuals, and the stakes had skyrocketed from an initial hundred thousand RMB to one million US Dollars—jumping up by dozens of times, it was indeed a massive amount, even for this young man.
He was not short on cash, but scrimping and saving over the years had barely allowed him to amass this amount. If he were to gamble away such a sum, winning would be one thing, but if he lost, he'd probably feel like dying.
But at this point, with Qin Fang laying his cards on the table, he obviously wasn't about to let the matter drop—these kids had to receive their just deserts.
If you balk at a simple apology, then I'll make sure you bleed profusely just this once, so you'll remember your lesson well; that in this world, there's always someone better, and it's not okay to just mess around with anyone you please...(To be continued.
