Five of Diamonds.
All nine people breathed a sigh of relief.
Their points are all higher than Lin Jiu'an's!
The person panting revealed the purest smile, the person wiping sweat covered their mouth and shed tears of excitement, the person with clenched hands opened their fists and pounded the table with joy, and the person praying forgot their vow at this moment.
Just as they stood up, with victorious smiles on their faces, ready to leave...
"Who told you you could leave?"
The casino fell silent again, just as it had been when the fifth card was about to be revealed; not even a breath could be heard.
Under everyone's gaze.
Lin Jiu'an flipped through the two bright red threes in his hand and threw them in front of the female dealer.
"Next game."
······
Knights of the West Wind.
A captain-level knight stays here every night.
Tonight's night watch is led by the captain of the fifth squad, the Furious Lion, Knight Bartley Prellshitch.
Inside the captain's office, Bartley was embracing a voluptuous female knight, who was sitting on his lap, his large hand already inside her collar.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from the corridor.
The door was pushed open.
The unexpected situation caused the female knight to cry out in surprise, and she immediately stood up and reached out to cover her chest.
Just as Bartley was about to get angry, he saw Mia with tears in her eyes.
His expression immediately turned somewhat awkward.
He knew this girl; his son Boka liked her, and she might become his daughter-in-law in the future. Most importantly, her younger brother was highly regarded by the commander, Falga.
"Mia, what's the rush?"
"Didn't Uncle remember that you and Boca went to Fenghua Mansion?"
Mia was still somewhat stunned by the erotic scene she had just witnessed.
Bartley's words reminded her of the purpose of her visit, and tears welled up again, whether out of sadness or fear.
He cried out in a mournful voice, "Boca is dead!"
Chapter Twenty-Five: The Gathered Women
"What did you say?!"
Bartley suddenly stood up, his eyes wide with rage, and let out a roar like a lion.
Mia felt as if she were facing a roaring lion; her pretty face turned pale and her whole body trembled.
Bartley realized his loss of composure, but he knew Mia was not the kind of girl who would joke about such things; the death of his only son made him unable to calm down.
"Who killed him!"
Mia told Bartley what had happened.
"Have we entered Feng Hua Mansion? Let's go."
Mia caught up with Bartley, who had already strode out of the office.
"Where is the acting...acting leader?"
"She and Lisa both went out."
"Shall we go find them first?" Mia asked anxiously.
"Just a piece of trash without the Eye of God."
Bartley sneered.
He knew that there were two people with the Eye of God guarding the Feng Hua Mansion.
"He rushed to Fenghua Mansion to cause trouble, but by the time we arrived, he had already been subdued."
It's just a pity about his son.
He wouldn't have gone on this trip if his son hadn't died and he wasn't preparing to avenge him personally.
"I hope you're not dead yet."
Mia opened her mouth.
She wanted to tell him that although his outburst of anger had frightened her.
But she felt he was no match for the boy.
Her intuition is always very accurate.
But looking at Bartley, who was consumed by rage, she didn't know how to start the conversation.
He could only say, "Then I'll go find some more people."
"Go."
Bartley waved his hand impatiently, assuming that the other party was too scared to go because of that brat.
If the other person hadn't been of such high status, he wouldn't have bothered with him.
If Bartley knew that she secretly believed she couldn't beat that brat without the Eye of God, he would definitely laugh out loud and then teach this insolent girl a lesson, proving to her the true worth of the Knights of Favonius's "Lion of Fury".
And watching Bartley's departing figure.
Mia felt increasingly uneasy, with a sense of guilt that she might have killed Boca's father.
"We need to find Director Qin and Miss Lisa quickly!"
······
Eight people sat down at the card table again.
The old man stole a glance at the man who seemed to be wearing a smiling mask.
Her lips trembled uncontrollably.
He is the only one left.
Of the nine people who initially sat down at the table, only he was still alive. The tall, thin man had died in the previous round when he had the best hand, because Lin Jiu'an's hand was the second best.
Judging by the time, the knights on night watch should be arriving soon.
But this brought him no comfort whatsoever, because he suddenly realized a problem.
Lin Jiu'an may have deliberately let him live!
He couldn't remember how many rounds they had played so far, but he remembered clearly that Lin Jiu'an's cards were always smaller than his, and only smaller.
A pretty young woman in a bright red low-cut dress had just sat down at the table when she couldn't help but start crying.
"I don't want to die."
She looked at Lin Jiu'an through teary eyes.
"Please, I don't want to die."
"I'm willing to do anything for you."
"Would you do anything for me?"
The young woman quickly straightened up, revealing most of her white breasts.
"Yes, I'm willing to do anything!"
Lin Jiu'an smiled and said, "Then play cards with me."
Just then, the casino doors were blasted open. (Light Novel Base 7)
A burly man, nearly two meters tall, with a stubble beard and hair that looked like a furious lion, walked in.
Upon seeing the other party, everyone's eyes lit up, except for the female dealer and the bunny girl attendants.
The Knights of Favonius have a fifth squad leader, a man known as the "Lion of Fury".
It is said that the title originated from a time when he was trapped by a treasure-hunting group and witnessed the death of one of his men. In a fit of rage, he tore apart several Hilichurl thugs with his bare hands, thus becoming famous in one battle!
The people at the card table threw down their cards and burst into laughter, relieved to have survived such a close call.
"Hahaha, you're dead! You're dead!"
"The Lion of Fury is here! Let's see how arrogant you can be now!"
Keep laughing! Keep laughing!
The woman who had just tried to flatter Lin Jiu'an now glared at Lin Jiu'an and the female croupier with even more venom.
"You two bastards, I'll make you wish you were dead in a minute!"
Bartley's gaze fell on Lin Jiu'an, who had his back to him.
The other party is too eye-catching.
Amidst this revelry.
The other person, however, remained turned away from him, fiddling with two cards in their hand.
"Boy, is it you who killed my son?"
"That's right, it was him, he killed Boca!" the woman screamed, pointing at Lin Jiu'an.
Bartley grinned and walked towards Lin Jiu'an. Each step he took was powerful and heavy, yet unhurried. The heavy footsteps seemed to strike the hearts of everyone present like a hammer blow.
"Although Boca is a disappointment."
“But they are my children, members of my Prelsch family.”
“My Prelch family’s things, even a dog, are not for just any Tom, Dick, or Harry to touch.”
Bartley walked up behind Lin Jiu'an.
His messy, short, golden hair moved wildly without wind, like a raging lion.
His tall figure seemed to envelop Lin Jiu'an's body, completely shrouding him in his shadow.
Bartley grinned maliciously, "I will smash your bones one by one."
"Let you die in utter despair and pain, with pitiful wails and tears streaming down your face."
As he spoke, Bartley raised his hand and punched him in the shoulder.
'Bang!'
A punch, devoid of any skill but brimming with extreme power and speed, smashed the edge of the gambling table to pieces.
But...
A look of confusion flashed in Bartley's eyes.
Where are the people?
He looked up to find him, but only saw those people staring at him with expressions as if they were looking at a ghost.
“I am behind you.”
······
"Angel's Gift" Tavern.
Qin, Lisa, Ying, and Yura were discussing their 'battle plan' in the private room.
If we need to deal with the capitalists who have already gained power in the country.
"Ying, do you have any ideas?"
Feeling the gazes cast upon her by the three people, Ying sighed inwardly.
She didn't really want to come.
After hearing Qin and Lisa say that Lin Jiu'an had left without saying goodbye, she felt a wave of dizziness.
What are you doing?
