"This..."

Xiao Xi's expression froze, murmuring for a while without any words coming out.

In a battle between two sides, the victor doesn't necessarily have to defeat the other; subduing the opponent is a more skillful method.

"The result of this duel is clear. Qin Old Brother wins."

Zhang Wanqing marveled at Qin Yang's tactics and was eager to make friends, so he stepped forward to speak for Qin Yang.

"Indeed, how can taming a gladiatorial beast not count as a win?"

"The casino wouldn't be thinking of reneging, would it..."

"..."

The rest of the guests chimed in, after all, most of the VIPs here had lost more than they won, and they were quite pleased to see the casino suffer a major loss.

In a corner of the hall, two figures slowly emerged from the darkness, both dressed in black, exuding a powerful aura.

These two figures in black were the Third and Fourth Silver Guards responsible for overseeing the gambling arena on-site.

"Third Brother, this kid is not simple, what should we do?"

The Fourth Silver Guard looked at the Third Silver Guard beside him and asked.

The Third Silver Guard pondered for a moment, a glint of light in his eyes, glanced at Qin Yang in the iron cage, and said in a deep voice, "Did you hear earlier, that fat guy who stood up first called that kid 'Qin Old Brother.' Could this kid be the one who killed the leaders of the Vajra Wolf, Flame Wolf, and other Silver Guards, that Qin Yang?"

"Very likely, this kid isn't very old but he's ruthless. But, he is truly bold to dare come to our lair alone."

The Fourth Silver Guard thought for a moment and nodded, speaking.

"You go inform the Hell Wolf Leader of this matter while I'll try to stabilize the scene and keep this kid in the gambling arena. Tonight is where he will meet his end."

There was a sinister chill in the Third Silver Guard's voice.

"Yes."

The Fourth Silver Guard responded, his figure flickered, and he entered a hidden door.

Inside the venue, outside the iron cage, seeing everyone jabbering about, Xiao Xi's face looked a bit troubled. In his predicament, a shadow appeared on the stage.

"Lord Third."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Xiao Xi's face lit up with joy and he greeted courteously.

The Third Silver Guard nodded, sweeping his gaze over the entire place.

"Honored guests, I announce that in this match, the challenger is the winner!" the Third Silver Guard declared loudly to everyone.

"That's how it should be."

"Subduing the beast definitely counts as defeating it."

"..."

The crowd murmured briefly, and the room burst into enthusiastic applause.

"Ahem, since I've won, the prize money should be transferred to me, right?"

Qin Yang gave a light cough, looking at the Third Silver Guard with a smile.

"Transfer it to him!"

The Third Silver Guard gritted his teeth, saying in a deep voice.

After a moment, Qin Yang glanced down at his phone to see the sum of four billion already in his account. He smiled and pocketed his phone.

"Tonight's match ends here. We welcome you all to visit again next time."

The Third Silver Guard said to everyone.

After the last challenge round concluded, the event was nearing its end, so the crowd didn't think much of it and left the gambling arena in small groups.

"As for you, sir, even though you've subdued the gladiatorial beast, this lion ultimately belongs to us at the gambling arena. Please stay afterwards to discuss the follow-up matters."

The Third Silver Guard's gaze switched back to Qin Yang in the cage, a flash of cold light surged in his eyes. Hmph, I'll give you the money, but your life will stay here.

Qin Yang gave a faint smile; he knew what this guy was planning, but since he came here to settle matters, he naturally wouldn't leave.

Tap, tap, tap!

In the long dark corridor, only the sound of Fourth Silver Guard's footsteps echoed.

At the end of the corridor stood a stone door, with two black-clad figures guarding its sides.

"Big Brother, Second Brother."

The Fourth Silver Guard spoke to the guarding duo.

"Fourth one, why are you here? The Hell Leader is cultivating and isn't seeing guests." said the First Silver Guard.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, the one who killed the Vajra Wolf Leader and others has come to the casino." The Fourth Silver Guard said in a deep voice.

"What? That little rascal is at our casino?!"

The towering Second Silver Guard rumbled.

"We haven't even gone to cause him trouble, yet he's come to our lair instead."

The First Silver Guard's voice was icy.

"Hmm, he even placed a two billion bet and participated in the third round of the challenge, ultimately subduing that fire lion." The Fourth Silver Guard said in a deep voice.

"Truly arrogant!"

The Second Silver Guard roared angrily.

"However, Fourth, when the Hell Leader is cultivating, no one is allowed to disturb him." said the First Silver Guard.

The three fell silent.

"Come in."

Just then, a chilly voice resonated from inside the stone door.

The Fourth Silver Guard took a deep breath, his face showing solemnity and respect, and pushed open the stone door.

The stone chamber inside was filled with a sinister aura. At the center of a black pool, a figure meditated on a stone platform.

"Hell Wolf Leader."

The Fourth Silver Guard spoke respectfully.

Upon hearing this, the figure sitting on the stone platform slowly opened his eyes. His cheeks were long and thin, with a slightly pale complexion, his hair gray-white. When he opened his eyes, they resembled a venomous snake, sending a chill down one's spine.

Back in the venue, in five to six minutes, the vast gambling arena was nearly emptied out.

Qin Yang stepped out from the large iron cage, with the Fire Flame Lion following closely behind.

"Qin Old Brother, you really subdued that lion, huh."

Zhang Wanqing, protected by two bodyguards, boldly approached Qin Yang, gazing enviously at the Fire Flame Lion.

Having such a lion as a pet would certainly be a status symbol.

Long Meiqing's beautiful eyes also fell upon the Fire Flame Lion behind Qin Yang. Its fiery red fur was much more majestic than the lions seen in zoos.

"This guy is enveloped in too many mysteries."

Long Meiqing murmured to herself as she glanced at Qin Yang.

"Qin Old Brother isn't an ordinary person."

Zhang Wanqing looked at Qin Yang in admiration.

"You're too kind, Mr. Zhang." Qin Yang said with a smile.

"Calling me Mr. Zhang is too formal; if you don't mind, just call me Lao Zhang. Here's my business card, let's keep in touch."

Zhang Wanqing, seeing Qin Yang wasn't ordinary, wanted to establish a relationship, and handed over his business card with a smile.

"Thank you, Lao Zhang."

Qin Yang took Zhang Wanqing's business card and glanced at it. It listed Zhang Wanqing's title as President of Wanqing Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., with a string of phone numbers below.

"Though I sell houses, I carry some weight in Yunshui City. Qin Old Brother, feel free to contact me if you need anything."

Zhang Wanqing said with a smile on his plump face.

Qin Yang nodded, whereafter they chatted a bit before Zhang Wanqing left the venue with his two bodyguards.

"You should go back too, this place might not be safe soon."

Qin Yang looked at Long Meiqing and said.

"Not safe?"

Long Meiqing raised her eyebrow, glanced at the black-clad men near the iron cage, shook her head, and said, "No, don't forget, I'm a cop. Besides, since this is an illegal gambling arena, we police should naturally investigate and raid it."

Qin Yang's face darkened slightly; this girl's sense of justice was going overboard again. If the police wanted to raid, they would have done it long ago.

"Qin Yang, your reason for coming here isn't as simple as just showing me this gambling arena, is it?"

Long Meiqing looked at Qin Yang and asked.

"I came here to resolve some matters."

Qin Yang said, his brow suddenly furrowed, and he looked towards a spot in the venue where a hidden door was slowly opening.
