Zhang Dao was already dead, and his body had been taken away by people Mouse Qiang sent. Qin Fang gained some Experience Points, though the amount wasn't very large, it was better than nothing.

What really caught Qin Fang's attention was that when Zhang Dao died, Qin Fang felt an extremely pleasant warmth flow through his fingers. It came from the Ring of Justice he wore on his hand.

At the same time, Qin Fang also received two unexpected notifications—

"Congratulations, you have earned a lottery chance, which can immediately increase a certain beginner level skill by 20%."

"Congratulations, your Tough Skin Technique skill proficiency has increased by 20%."

It was these two notifications, or, to be precise, actually one notification that confused Qin Fang. He had not even figured out what the lottery chance was about before it automatically drew, causing him a minor annoyance.

However, the second notification was clearly good news. The Tough Skin Technique was a level two skill that branched off from a primary skill, a very rare special skill with a low chance of acquisition—Qin Fang once had a stroke of luck and obtained this skill.

But like its primary skill, the Strong Body Technique, the proficiency of the Tough Skin Technique increased at an extraordinarily slow rate. Even now, it had barely reached 24%.

With every 20% increase in proficiency for a beginner level skill adding one point of defense, it had only provided Qin Fang with 2 points of defense thus far. But now, an unexpected 20% increase in proficiency meant an additional two defense points, bringing Qin Fang's defense to four points.

At present, Qin Fang was level 4 with an initial 10 Life Points, plus 5 points for each level gained, which meant 20 Life Points. Factoring in that the Strong Body Technique now provided a 30% increase, that was an additional 3 Life Points, making it a total of 33 Life Points (10+20+3=33).

(Note: The total Life Points seem to be miscalculated; they have been corrected to 33 points here, sorry!)

Four defense points equaled a reduction of 4 Life Points worth of damage, essentially adding those 4 Life Points to his base, meaning Qin Fang's Life Points were effectively 37 points when considering 0 defense.

Such a health pool was already quite substantial. Unless faced with crucial fatal blade injuries or critical gunshot wounds, other wounds were unlikely to be lethal to Qin Fang.

As long as one couldn't kill Qin Fang outright, with the plethora of Superior Soup Dumplings in his Props Box, Qin Fang could certainly live even longer.

Of course, the more Life Points one had, the more one had to cherish them. After all, the King of Assassins mission he bore disregarded his Life Points completely—if he failed the mission, the System would forcefully erase him.

To the System, whether one's Life Points were at one or ten thousand, if you were deemed to have failed a mission, you had to pay the price for that failure. For the King of Assassins mission, that price was System-forced eradication.

Nevertheless, Qin Fang was still quite composed for now. It was a long-term mission, and he needed to strengthen himself slowly in order to complete it. He could not overlook these skills that could empower him.

And the situation just now had taken Qin Fang by surprise because the lottery chance seemed to flow from the Ring of Justice.

The ring was mysterious. Although Qin Fang had unraveled one layer of its mystery, the more he discovered, the more he felt that it was even more mysterious and powerful than he had imagined.

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Fang immediately thought of the fact that he had killed Zhang Dao, who had over six hundred Evil Points, which definitely made him part of the Evil Camp. Killing someone from the Evil Camp would gain Justice Points; he remembered getting +50 Justice Points for killing Yan Kuan the last time.

This time, by killing Zhang Dao, Qin Fang was clearly supposed to receive Justice Points again, but the System didn't prompt him. Nevertheless, Qin Fang couldn't help but glance at his attribute panel.

He quickly found the Justice Points entry—the number was—110 points.

With 110 Justice Points, exceeding the threshold of 100 points, Qin Fang earned another title from the Righteous Guardian Faction. However, since he possessed the Ring of Justice, which concealed all this, Qin Fang was still considered to be from the Righteous Guardian Faction, so there was no need to acquire the title a second time.

The acquisition of the lottery chance just now seemed to be due to the actual change in faction and might also be related to his Justice Points breaking through 100 points. In any case, Qin Fang surmised that the lottery chance's acquisition might be linked to Justice Points and the Ring of Justice.

Killing Zhang Dao was a spur-of-the-moment decision by Qin Fang. If Zhang Dao had not insulted his mother, Qin Fang would never have dealt such a deadly blow. At most, he would have beaten him severely like he did with Wang Hu and left him for Tiger to deal with.

But Zhang Dao sought his own death, so Qin Fang simply obliged and sent him on his way, not even intending to leave his bones behind.

With Qin Fang's actions, everyone was afraid, and Ma Ye was naturally among them.

Just now, he had been scared spitless by Qin Fang's demand for one-by-one compensation—that amount of money, even selling himself would not be enough to gather such a sum.

But the current situation seemed like even paying a compensation of a billion would be more acceptable.

Because if Qin Fang were to demand a ransom of one hundred million, then all Ma Ye could do was to face certain death. However, at least he would be able to leave behind a complete corpse, and it would be relatively easier to explain to Li Rui. His family would still receive a sum of money and could live worry-free in the next life.

But if he offended Qin Fang, then the outcome would not be as simple as just dying. Instead, it would mean total obliteration, with not even a body left to bury… Such a fate would be much more miserable.

Those in the know would think you were poisoned, those who didn't would suspect you absconded with the money!

So, Ma Ye couldn't help but be afraid!

"You… might as well kill me!"

But in the end, after much thought, Ma Ye felt he had no choice. Betraying Li Rui was an absolute impossibility. He had family members alive in this world, and he had to consider them. Since death was inevitable either way, he might as well die alone and let his family live.

"Oh, look at that, Ma Ye turns out to be quite the man!"

Qin Fang chuckled and began to tease Ma Ye.

Zhang Dao had already been killed. It was his own fault, and with his extremely high Evil Points exceeding six hundred, his death could be considered a service to the people, with crimes outweighing the sentence owed.

While Ma Ye's Evil Points were not low, they weren't exceptionally high either, and Qin Fang had no real intention of killing another person.

"Does it even matter whether I am a man or not? I definitely can't come up with one hundred million, pressuring me is useless, just kill me…"

Ma Ye was truly at his wit's end. Not to mention one hundred million was beyond his reach, even if he could gather that amount, he wouldn't dare to do so, as the money belonged to Li Rui.

He would rather be taken out by Qin Fang than offend Li Rui. The consequences of the latter would be many times worse than the current predicament, unimaginable in their severity.

"Since that's the case, I won't be polite anymore, smash it…"

For an entertainment venue involved in the yellow trade, gambling, and drugs, Qin Fang was truly displeased. Being a member of the Righteous Guardian Faction and a good person, Qin Fang naturally stood on the side of justice, and with the moral high ground, there was no need for him to be courteous.

"Smash it, smash it…"

Ma Ye only sighed lightly, for Drunken Cat Nightclub wasn't much of a loss; even if it was destroyed, the financial hit wouldn't be too severe—just a few million at most.

Compared to the one hundred million in damages proposed by Qin Fang, this amount of money really didn't count for much.

At this moment, Ma Ye truly understood the purpose of Qin Fang's visit. Humiliating him was one aspect, demolishing the establishment was another, and as for killing, that solely depended on Zhang Dao's own misfortune.

"Brothers, grab your tools, and start smashing the place…"

Upon receiving Qin Fang's order, Mouse Qiang immediately commanded his men to start demolishing the venue.

Although he really wanted to leave the establishment for Tiger, in reality, it was just wishful thinking; he couldn't actually do it. The whole affair boiled down to a conflict between Qin Fang and Li Rui.

Qin Fang's destruction of the place stood on principle; after all, it was Li Rui who first sent people to smash Fang Feixue's business. So if his attempted show of strength failed, he would just have to face the harsh consequences.

Tiger was caught in the crossfire. He was merely helping Qin Fang protect Fang Feixue, and had only sent a small group to assist. The real firm stand that turned the tides of victory was due to Mouse Qiang's steadfastness.

Just like the operation tonight, Qin Fang had never intended for Tiger's men to get overly involved. Therefore, when he fought Wang Hu, it was only him and Qin Shouxiong, even for the venue-smashing more of the action was carried out by Qin Fang and Qin Shouxiong. Only the few that slipped through were handled by Tiger's men.

And when Qin Fang was negotiating with Ma Ye earlier, he made it clear that these people were hired by him. Taking others' money to dispel their misfortunes was the unwritten rule of the streets.

Besides, from beginning to end, Qin Fang never brought up Li Rui, precisely because he didn't want to drag Tiger and his men into this.

With things so clearly divided, if Mouse Qiang intentionally took over the venue for Tiger, it would have been a dishonorable move, essentially instigating conflict between Tiger and Li Rui.

It was better to do as they did now: destroy the entire venue, a direct face-slapping by Qin Fang to Li Rui. But the venue was still Tiger's to claim, and Li Rui could retake it whenever he wanted, without anyone intervening.

Qin Fang simply stood with his hands behind his back, watching the scene unfold. Qin Shouxiong stood beside him, while Ma Ye also stood up, positioning himself next to Qin Fang, his eyes filled with evident fear. Mouse Qiang, on the other hand, was leading his men in wreaking havoc on all the facilities across the three floors, engaging in utter destruction, ensuring that nothing could be used again… (To be continued.
