"Don't..."

Chu Yunxuan saw the determination and irrefutability in Qin Fang's eyes.

She appeared very surprised, and also somewhat confused, not quite understanding why Qin Fang had to fixate on this matter and even be willing to play such a fatal game.

There was certainly nothing wrong with the gun in Qin Fang's hand, as he directly inserted the barrel into the other's mouth; if the gun were to fire, the bullet would undoubtedly penetrate the other's head. The ensuing impact would be unstoppable, surely resulting in a violent death.

"Six chambers, three bullets, a fifty-fifty chance of life or death, good luck!"

Qin Fang ignored Chu Yunxuan's repeated pleas and said these words to the tattooed man, finally pulling the trigger.

Everyone's breath hitched at that moment, as if time had slowed down significantly. Many involuntarily turned away their faces while covering their ears with their hands.

Chu Yunxuan's complexion wasn't good either, her eyes filled with struggle. Murder... was no trivial matter but a significant event.

Although Qin Fang had saved General Li's life and the Li Family owed him a great debt, such a favor was not enough to erase the fact that Qin Fang had killed someone. If things got out of hand, Qin Fang could end up sitting in jail for a very long time, and given his currently severe situation, it would be quite reasonable for him to be shot on the spot.

Yet, even if she wanted to stop it, she could not. Qin Fang merely patted her shoulder lightly, causing her some pain, and then she sat down again. Only at that moment did she realize how strong the seemingly young man, Qin Fang, truly was, definitely much stronger than she had imagined.

The tattooed man was pale as death, his face ashen, his eyes filled with despair, and his body trembled slightly. His legs were shaking as well, and as Qin Fang pulled the trigger, he couldn't endure the torment of despair any longer, closing his eyes tightly... as he waited for that moment to arrive.

Dart Man empathized but also silently closed his eyes, not daring to watch anymore, while waiting for the sound of the gunshot...

Brother Long's reaction was similar, a flash of pain and reluctance crossing his eyes. After all, they had been brothers for many years, yet he never imagined they would come to such a pass, but in the end, his unwillingness was replaced by his firm belief.

Such a person was destined to be cold-hearted and unfaithful, speaking one way but when it comes down to the crunch, would not hesitate to throw even his best brother to the wolves...

No matter what they all thought, no one could stop Qin Fang from pulling the trigger. Qin Fang's finger had already moved past the critical point of the trigger, the gun was activated at that moment, and everyone tensed slightly, because the gunshot would soon come...

Click~~

However... the expected gunshot did not occur, and instead, that was the sound that rang out.

An empty chamber!

Without a doubt, the tattooed man's luck was incredibly good. With a fifty percent chance of survival, he had encountered an empty chamber with no bullet... He had survived!

Whoosh~~

This was a result that no one dared to imagine. Despite knowing there was a fifty percent chance of survival, compared to the massive danger, this chance seemed far too low, which meant that the death rate was too high, and almost no one believed that the tattooed man could survive.

Chu Yunxuan let out a slight breath of relief.

"Congratulations! You don't have to die..."

Qin Fang was quite magnanimous. One shot had been ineffective, so he withdrew the barrel and did not continue further.

Brother Long might sacrifice a brother to save his own life, but Qin Fang had already promised, one shot to determine life and death, survival meant wiping the slate clean...

As for death, that was no longer an issue. Once dead, it was impossible to pursue any matter further. If a person was already dead, what was there to pursue? You couldn't very well shoot yourself and go to Hell to collect debts.

"You don't have to die..."

The tattooed man was also a bit stunned; he had already prepared for death, and at one point wanted to run away, but his legs just couldn't muster the strength, so he could only close his eyes and wait to die like before.

Now he had somehow made it through, he didn't have to die, and for a moment, he really couldn't accept it. He stood there in a daze, mumbling "You don't have to die," "You don't have to die," looking almost like a mental patient.

Seeing the tattooed man pull through, Brother Long's face also showed a look as if a heavy burden had been lifted. However, this emotion lasted only three seconds before his expression changed again, his heart filled with immeasurable resentment toward the tattooed man.

Why?

With six chambers and three bullets, a half chance at survival, the more bullets spared, the higher the survival rate, and thus the greater his chances of living.

But now, the tables had turned. One person had been subtracted, yet not a single bullet was missing. The chance of survival remained unchanged and even seemed to be diminishing...

As the saying goes, what you fear often comes to pass.

No sooner had Brother Long thought this than he saw Qin Fang, gun in hand, approach Dart Man, grasped his neck, lifted him, and without hesitation, as Dart Man gaped for breath, shoved the barrel into his mouth.

This act, though seemingly not strange—after all, the onlookers' first thought was not too far from this—however, everyone felt that something was off. Upon closer examination, they finally pinpointed the issue...

It was that Qin Fang hadn't spun the cylinder; he simply picked up the gun and acted.

In a proper game of Russian Roulette, which is inherently life-threatening, the cylinder is spun before each shot to ensure fairness and maintain equal survival odds, thereby determining the opponent's fate...

But Qin Fang didn't play by the rules. Instead, he followed the old pattern, picking up the gun, ready to act, which led to the problem at hand.

Dart Man quickly understood his predicament, but he had no strength to resist and could only silently endure what was coming.

Undoubtedly, the chance of death had risen once more.

Originally, it was six chambers with three bullets—a fifty percent death rate. But now, with five chambers and three bullets, the death rate had gone from half to sixty percent, significantly increasing the danger...

Yet, there was someone whose complexion was greener than Dart Man's, and that was Brother Long.

Qin Fang not playing by the book was a clear retaliation against Brother Long's immediate betrayal of his brother. Being the last to face the gunshot, the original six to three had become five to three, leaving only four choices for him.

If Dart Man were to be unlucky and killed by Qin Fang, one chamber would be excluded, one bullet consumed, and by the time it was Brother Long's turn, there would be four chambers and two bullets left. A fifty percent chance, the same as in the beginning, rendering Brother Long's cunning completely useless.

In other words, he had been played by Qin Fang who squandered the brotherhood for what turned out to be just a buffer period of no real value.

Of course, this was under the unfortunate scenario of Dart Man's demise. If Dart Man's luck were as good as Tattoo Man's, then when it came to Brother Long's turn, it would be four chambers and three bullets, with the death rate soaring from the current sixty percent to seventy-five percent, leaving only a one in four chance to survive...

Such numbers were nearly equivalent to sending Brother Long to the guillotine.

"No, I still have a chance, I still have a chance..."

But in his heart, Brother Long kept convincing himself, almost hypnotizing himself.

He had his own theory.

The bullets were personally retained by Qin Fang, or rather, they only saw Qin Fang remove three bullets from the gun, leaving three inside. However, the arrangement of these three bullets was uncertain; no one paid attention to this, only Qin Fang knew for sure.

Perhaps they were arranged alternately; hit, miss, hit, miss, hit, miss... such a pattern could be the arrangement for the six bullets.

Naturally, it's also possible that two or even three bullets were clustered together. With only so many positions in the cylinder, as long as they weren't spaced evenly, it would be reasonable to encounter consecutive bullets.

This was the second shot!

The target was Dart Man.

Frankly, Qin Fang didn't think highly of this man; he was one who liked to strike from the shadows, avoiding direct confrontation and resorting to underhanded schemes and tricks.

Undoubtedly smart and skilled at manipulating his methods, Dart Man had almost trapped Qin Fang, who narrowly avoided the snare, escaping by the skin of his teeth.

But he had also enraged Qin Fang, resulting in the most severe injuries among the three victims, with who knows how many broken bones in his chest.

Qin Fang disliked him, that was evident, the extensive injuries on his body told the tale.

But this wasn't nearly enough, which is why Qin Fang then stuffed the gun barrel into Dart Man's mouth, and amidst the expectant and anxious gazes of the onlookers, everyone watched as Qin Fang slowly pulled the trigger, all holding their breath, waiting for that eternal moment to arrive...

Dart Man also closed his eyes, sharing the same resignation as his brother Tattoo Man before him. He harbored almost no hope for survival, deeming it a virtually certain death.

In his view, from the moment he tried to harm, even kill Qin Fang with that dagger, Qin Fang had harbored a killing intent toward him and would not pass up such a golden opportunity.
