"What do you feel like playing?"
Qin Fang smiled. He had some chips exchanged in his hand, not many, totaling less than twenty thousand yuan. In this casino, where bets of tens, hundreds of thousands, or even more were commonplace, his small stack of chips wouldn't even make a splash.
But he hadn't come here to gamble in the first place. Otherwise, he would have gone straight to the Russian Roulette tables, where the payout was thirty-six times the bet. Just two or three rounds, and he guessed the casino security would be escorting him out.
This was Jincheng, not Ninghai, and no one could guarantee that the person in charge here would have the same broad-mindedness as Li Rui to tolerate the level of face-slapping Qin Fang could deliver...
Li Yang might take it in stride, but if things got too heated, it really wouldn't be good for anyone. Such self-destructive behavior was something Qin Fang intended to do as little as possible.
That's why Qin Fang appeared quite low-key, trying his best not to stir up trouble.
"I'll play that, the slot machine..."
Jiang Li had looked around the hall for a while before finally choosing a slot machine tucked away in a corner.
A slot machine is a gambling device that uses spare change. In reality, they are very common, and there are many different types, each with its mode of play. But the general principle remains largely the same.
Jiang Li wandered among several types of slot machines before finally choosing a comparatively small fruit machine.
Such slot machines are most common. You would find them in any regular game arcade. Qin Fang had seen plenty of them in Ninghai. They were considered borderline gambling devices that the police would confiscate during a crackdown. Normally, however, the authorities would turn a blind eye, pretending not to see them.
The gameplay of the fruit machine is quite simple: you insert a certain amount of chips, which are converted into points, and then you start betting. Once you make a choice, the corresponding points are deducted.
After making a selection, you press start, and the fruit machine begins to flash. After spinning for several rounds, it slowly comes to a stop, ultimately landing on a fruit symbol.
If the fruit on the screen doesn't match your choice, naturally, you end up empty-handed, and all those points are deducted; but if you chose correctly, your betting points are multiplied by the corresponding multiplier for that fruit... The process repeats, and you either lose all your points or have some left to exchange back into chips.
The fruit machine's straightforward gameplay meant that Jiang Li almost immediately understood how to play after one or two rounds. Qin Fang offered his chips, exchanged them for points, and Jiang Li began to play excitedly.
Jiang Li seemed to enjoy herself immensely although she kept losing. She appeared exceptionally happy, especially when she won. She looked so excited that it seemed she could almost rush over to hug Qin Fang, and plant a firm kiss on his face or lips with her tempting, petite lips.
Qin Fang just stood behind Jiang Li, watching without speaking, simply observing. He only responded casually whenever Jiang Li spoke to him.
"Miss, that's not the way to play it. You should learn from me..."
There weren't too many people playing the slot machines, but there was a small group of trendy, young people clearly spending their family's easy-come money—typical rich second-generation. They gathered together, passing judgment on Jiang Li and letting off some not-so-clean remarks, particularly the leading young men whose eyes glinted with fervent flames.
"Let big brother show you how to play..."
"My skills are top-notch, definitely will get you high..."
The group bantered with increasing rudeness, to the point that even Qin Fang almost couldn't stand it anymore.
Jiang Li paused when she heard them, then turned towards the voices. Seeing the jeering young men, her delicate brows involuntarily furrowed, obviously put off by the group.
"Just play your game, don't mind them!"
Qin Fang stood right behind Jiang Li and gently patted her shoulder, speaking calmly, as though the few men were no more important than stray cats or dogs by the roadside, completely unworthy of concern.
"They don't look like good people. Nothing will happen, right? Maybe... we should go to my cousin's place!"
Jiang Li, however, was clearly not as calm as Qin Fang. Their opponents outnumbered them, and with only Qin Fang on their side, they seemed vulnerable and outnumbered.
Going to Li Yang's place would naturally solve everything. In Jincheng, there really weren't many people who dared to act wild in front of Li Yang. Anyone who did so was simply asking for death.
"Don't mind them, just think of them as a bunch of mad dogs barking..."
Qin Fang, on the other hand, appeared quite composed, not taking these young people seriously at all. Aside from the leader, who was pretty strong with Level 3 capabilities, the others were just ordinary Level 1s—the kind of ordinary that couldn't get any more ordinary. Apart from the "my dad is ××"-type of dangerously powerful weapon, they really had nothing strong to offer, so why would Qin Fang care about them?
Pfft~~
Jiang Li was amused, Qin Fang's words had made her laugh. She really hadn't expected Qin Fang to be so audacious; facing so many of the opponent's men, he still dared to curse people so blatantly. That was too brutal.
"Fuck, this kid is cursing us..."
"Boss, beat him to death!"
"Motherfucker, kill him, then drag that chick out to take turns on..."
The rich second-generation kids over there were not old, but they had particularly vicious hearts. As soon as these words came out, Jiang Li's pretty face turned utterly pale as snow, and fear took hold of her.
"Qin... Qin Fang, let's... go to my cousin's place!"
Jiang Li was truly frightened. It was a normal reaction for girls to feel like this in such situations. Despite having an uncle who was a general, her family was just ordinary and couldn't afford to get involved in such trouble.
She felt panicked, as if she had no place to stand, and could only lean on Qin Fang's side, tightly gripping his clothes as she spoke.
"Don't worry, I've got this!"
Qin Fang was still quite calm, gently patting the back of Jiang Li's hand to signal she wouldn't be in any danger. Then he turned to face those rich and official second-generation kids with "my dad is ××" written on their foreheads.
"Anyone who doesn't want to spend half a year in the hospital had better shut up..."
Qin Fang really had no fondness for these arrogant rich kids, so naturally, he was quite rude. With such people, you have to be more assertive than they are, otherwise, they will just grow more arrogant.
"Fuck, this kid's got guts!"
"Big talker. I'm standing right here; if you've got the balls, come at me..."
"Boss, let's do this!"
The few rich kids were so infuriated by Qin Fang's words that they were fuming, but seeing Qin Fang's fearless demeanor, they didn't dare make their move. Eventually, all eyes were fixed on the young leader among them.
"You dare talk to us like this, clearly not taking us seriously..."
The young leader's face darkened as he began to speak. He didn't rush to act but looked at Qin Fang's face as if contemplating whether he'd seen it before.
Jincheng is the capital of Xishu Province, and there are many official second-generation kids at both the provincial and city levels. Among them, some weren't to be trifled with. But after much consideration, he couldn't pinpoint anyone matching Qin Fang or Jiang Li, which made him feel emboldened to act, contemplating initiating a move.
"I won't make things difficult for you. Come over here and apologize to this lady politely, and I'll let bygones be bygones. Otherwise..."
Qin Fang didn't want to waste words. Spotting an aluminum stool nearby, he took it in his hand, gave his wrist a twist, and the stool deformed instantly. This frightened the group of young lads across the way so much that their mouths hung open wide, unable to close for a long time...(To be continued.
