Chapter 368: Qiao San's Debt

I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Qiao San didn't believe it.

Qiu Xi didn't believe it.

Hongguo Li didn't believe it.

Nobody who saw it could believe it.

Blackskin actually succeeded in challenging the Blue-Faced Beast.

At this moment, He Zuming quickly moved his hand away from his face and stared intently into the basin.

Then he whispered, "God, that's amazing."

Qiao San's face turned from red to black, then to purple.

No need to ask, his feces had already been forced back up from below.

The fight in the basin wasn't over yet. Blackskin grew braver with each battle.

It used its big teeth to rip open the Blue-Faced Beast's belly.

The Blue-Faced Beast showed no movement in the basin. It was dead.

At this moment, Blackskin raised its foreleg, gesturing for everyone to look.

Like a boxer who has won a match, it raised its fist to prove its strength.

Seeing this, my eyes grew moist.

This cricket is incredibly tough; despite losing a large hind leg, it still refused to yield, seized the advantageous moment, dealt the enemy a fatal blow, and won the match.

I admired it.

Hongguo Li then announced loudly,

"Mr. Zhao's Blackskin defeated Mr. Qiao's Blue-Faced Beast and won the match. The match is over."

I quickly lifted Blackskin out of the basin.

Everyone cheered loudly, paying tribute to Blackskin.

Qiu Xi came over and stood beside me.

"Brother, let me look at this little bug—it's damn amazing, actually beating the big blue-headed one. How is this thing raised? It's so smart."

I placed Blackskin in Qiu Xi's hand.

Blackskin actually lowered its head and fiddled with its whiskers.

Qiu Xi said, "Goodness, which cave's immortal are you? You're so amazing. Quick, rest, rest."

At that moment, the horse hunter took Blackskin from Qiu Xi's hand and put it into a cricket jar.

Having won, we no longer need those shady tactics; we can openly take money from that boss.

Qiao San gazed at the corpse of the Blue-Faced Beast lying in the basin.

He let out a despairing sound.

"I don't believe it; this isn't real. I refuse to accept defeat."

Damn, the cricket's dead and still won't admit defeat.

Qiu Xi hurriedly tried to persuade Qiao San,

"Mr. Qiao, accept your loss and move on. Next time, bring another bug to play."

At this point, Qiao San glared with bloodshot eyes.

"Qiu Xi, I've already lost over twenty million damn it, and I still want to play. Keep gambling. If that boss extends me another tea-leaf card, I'll still try to break even."

Hearing this, the boss shook his head,

"Mr. Qiao, I'm not a charity; your credit is exhausted. Sorry, I won't extend credit anymore."

"You must extend credit. I'm Li Tian's man, you have to extend credit to me." Qiao San said, grabbing the boss's arm.

"Then let Li Tian come; if he comes, I'm willing to extend credit to him."

The boss became anxious.

Qiu Xi said, "Alright, Mr. Qiao, you lost, you lost. Last time you lost and didn't admit it; this time we can't do that again."

"I have nothing left, I want to play, Qiu Xi, you damn inhuman bastard, you're screwing me over." Qiao San had gone mad.

He even cursed Qiu Xi.

Qiu Xi let him curse, and his face instantly lost its luster.

How could he indulge Qiao San like that,

He grabbed Qiao San's collar,

"Qiao San, if you curse again, I'll take your life."

"You're not human; I'm calling Li Tian to come." Qiao San shouted.

"Fuck your mother*. You came here to cause trouble without even checking your own status."

"Xiao Yan, throw him out the door, don't let him dirty our cricket arena."

Xiao Yan came over and bowed with clasped hands,

"Mr. Qiao, please; let's step outside to talk."

Qiao San simply refused to leave,

He shouted toward the outside, "Damn, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and smash this place."

"Take back the money I lost."

As soon as Qiao San's words fell,

The people he brought all surged in from outside.

This guy actually brought so many people.

This is something I didn't expect.

Even Qiu Xi didn't expect it. It turned out that when he had someone bring the crickets, he deliberately had his own people come along as well.

Qiu Xi took out his phone, wanting to quickly contact Wen Han, to have him send people.

Qiao San saw Qiu Xi making a phone call,

He pulled out a knife from his pocket and threw it straight at Qiu Xi.

This guy also knows how to use hidden weapons.

The knife stabbed directly into Qiu Xi's hand, and his phone fell to the ground.

It's time for me to step in,

At this moment I waved at Ding Li and Shi Yong.

Shi Yong immediately threw a punch at Qiao San's head.

Qiao San didn't even notice the dark-faced man beside him.

He hadn't reacted yet before he collapsed to the ground.

Seeing Qiao San collapse straight to the ground, the others he brought fell silent.

Shi Yong then flexed his muscles, and Qiao San's people dropped him and ran off without a word.

Ding Li and Shi Yong quickly helped Qiao San up.

Qiu Xi didn't even notice the blood on his hand,

He ran over, knife in hand, intending to deal Qiao San a heavy blow.

I hurriedly urged him to stop: "Brother Qiu, how can we let such a person dirty this place? I'll take him away; if anything happens today, I'll take responsibility."

Tell Second Master Wen I ask for his forbearance; any losses will be on me.

Qiu Xi said: "Damn it, it's this Qiao San who's looking for trouble. It has nothing to do with you, brother. He actually stabbed me with a knife."

Today I must make him look bad.

I grabbed Qiu Xi with one hand,

"Brother Qiu, let me handle this. If anything happens, it'll be easier for you to explain."

Qiu Xi understood immediately and instantly stopped his hand.

"Brother, then I'll trouble you. I haven't wasted knowing you; you're a man who can hold his own. Good. Give this kid a proper lesson."

At this point I signaled Ding Li and Shi Yong to take Qiao San away.

That boss came over,

"Boss Zhao, you're amazing today—this is your tea card; look it over, it's all what you've won."

I glanced at the tea card,

Then I said to him: "Boss, thank you for your support. Later I'll go to your shop for tea."

Hand out the big red envelopes for everyone on my behalf, and any losses at Boss Qiu's place will be on me. When the time comes I'll settle the accounts at your shop.

"All right, Boss Zhao, I'll follow your lead." The boss said with a smile.

At this moment I clasped my fists toward Qiu Xi and that boss,

"Brother Qiu, Boss, I'll go ahead first. We'll meet again."

"We'll meet again. Boss Zhao is really meticulous." The boss said.

"These are my brothers; we're as close as iron." Qiu Xi said.

I hurriedly left the courtyard.

Shi Yong brought He Zuming and the horse hunter behind me.

We quickly left Yangquan Hutong.

I want to take Qiao San to Xinfadi,

I want to interrogate him thoroughly.

This time Qiao San didn't come with Li Tian, which is a great opportunity.

I believe it won't be long before Li Tian finds out that Qiao San has had an accident.

He will then go to the Douqu Guan to demand Qiu Xi hand over the person.

Qiu Xi can push the matter onto me.

That way, he'll have nothing to do with it.

Why should I take on this matter for Qiu Xi?

So that Qiu Xi knows what kind of person I am, and also so that Wen Han knows I'm someone who dares to take on responsibilities.

Having gotten hold of Qiao San, I don't want to kill him; his death would do me no good at all.

I want to make use of him once.

We soon arrived at the villa in Xinfadi.

I had Ding Li and Shi Yong blindfold Qiao San's eyes.

The two of them then carried Qiao San into the room.
