Chapter 190: Gambling Battle Ends, Murderous Intent Surges

Bai Fengye is dead!

This scene happened too suddenly; everyone widened their eyes, looking at this scene with expressions of horror.

The people from the Red Leaf Club were even more scared out of their wits, their faces as pale as corpses; the way they looked at Chen Che was as if they were seeing a soul-reaping evil ghost. Their previous arrogant aura had vanished completely, and all that remained was terror!

The spectators watching the spectacle had even more rapid breathing; the sudden visual impact startled them, and many even screamed out loud.

Fan Hao stared at Bai Fengye's head on the ground with a look of disbelief, then shifted his gaze to Chen Che. Amidst the shock, a hint of secret joy leaked through as he shouted, "You... you actually dare to kill someone in front of the Justice Patrol?! Someone, take him down for me!"

"Slap!"

However, before Fan Hao could pull out the gun at his waist, Tang Ying slapped him directly across the face.

Fan Hao was stunned by the blow and turned his head to look at Tang Ying.

"Slap!"

Tang Ying slapped him again and roared, "I am still here, when is it your turn to speak!"

"Pfft!"

Tang Ying kicked Fan Hao hard in the lower abdomen again; Fan Hao spat out a mouthful of bile and fell backward to the ground.

"Cap... Captain, the Gambling Battle is already over. As a Martial Artist, he killed someone in public; he should be arrested!"

Fan Hao fell onto his injured shoulder, the pain nearly causing him to faint, yet he stretched his neck to argue his case.

"Officer, I'm afraid you've forgotten. We were engaged in a life-and-death battle; the Gambling Battle only ends when one side is dead. Therefore, my killing him is in accordance with the rules."

Chen Che casually threw away the blood-dripping Dagger and said with an indifferent expression.

"But you are currently not restrained by a Collar, and you are a Martial Artist! Killing him again does not conform to the fair and just rules of the Gambling Battle!"

Fan Hao struggled to get up and said.

"I didn't use True Qi just now; everyone saw it."

Chen Che said with an innocent expression.

"You..."

Fan Hao was speechless.

Chen Che's series of maneuvers were too slick; he not only utilized the rules but also perfectly exploited the loopholes in every regulation, making people furious yet unable to find any handle against him.

"Enough, stop talking nonsense!"

Tang Ying already disliked Fan Hao's targeting of Chen Che, and at this moment, she completely did not want to see him again.

"Someone, take the Deputy Commander to the hospital."

Tang Ying gave the order, her tone brooking no argument.

Fan Hao felt unwilling, but at this moment, he had no reason to stay any longer, so he had to be carried away in a sorry state.

Tang Ying glanced at Chen Che, then walked to the center of the competition stage and announced, "Everyone, there was a small interlude, but the result is now certain. I announce that the winner of the Gambling Battle is the Qibao Association!"

"Wow!"

As soon as Tang Ying finished speaking, the people from the Qibao Association immediately cheered.

The spectators also stood up one after another, applauding Chen Che from the bottom of their hearts.

This Gambling Battle exceeded everyone's expectations; they had thought it would be a spectacular fight, but the result was Chen Che's one-sided crushing in terms of strategy.

"The Scorpion Society has been acting tyrannically in Jinling for decades; they have finally met their match!"

This was the inner voice of every spectator present; while excited, they all cast looks of admiration and respect toward Chen Che.

However, amidst the cheers and applause, the people from the Red Leaf Club lowered their heads and, like stray dogs, quickly left the scene with Bai Fengye's corpse.

Seeing this scene, Huang Feng was so angry he gritted his teeth. He had intended to sit back and reap the benefits, but Chen Che had directly used the Justice Patrol to deal with the Scorpion Society.

In this way, his scheme had completely fallen through!

Even if Bai Fengye was dead, if Bai Xiangjin wanted revenge, he would first have to deal with the Justice Patrol.

Moreover, even if he dealt with that, being suspected of smuggling True Qi Weapons would get him listed by the Justice Patrol, and someone would be watching him at all times.

In that case, let alone seeking revenge on Chen Che, he wouldn't even be able to take a dump in absolute freedom!

"Did it fail again?"

Ma Ziai looked around and asked.

"Don't you have eyes of your own!?"

Huang Feng was in a foul mood and retorted unceremoniously.

Ma Ziai's expression sank as he said, "I'm reminding you, the Qibao Association won; the bet you placed is a huge loss."

Huang Feng's body trembled; he glanced at Ma Ziai and then panicked as he took out his phone to check.

Huang Feng widened his eyes and slumped into his seat, as if falling into an ice cellar.

He had previously heard that Ma Zijun had spent a high price betting on Chen Che to win, so he had thought about betting to win all of Ma Zijun's money.

As a result, the final odds rose to forty to one, and the Qibao Association won; not only did he fail to win Ma Zijun's money, but he also lost two hundred million.

Two hundred million!

That was two hundred million!

Huang Feng felt a pang of heartache. He looked at Ma Ziai, wanting to seek some comfort, and asked, "How much did you lose?"

Ma Ziai said expressionlessly, "I didn't place a bet."

"What?!"

Huang Feng was stunned, "Why didn't you bet?"

"I was going to, but I was interrupted when they entered the venue, and then I forgot."

Ma Ziai shrugged with an innocent expression, though he was secretly rejoicing in his heart.

Good thing I didn't bet, otherwise I would be like you, you idiot, losing everything!

Huang Feng held his forehead, his heart feeling cold and desolate; he really had lost his wife and broken his army!

"Let's go!"

Huang Feng glared fiercely at Chen Che, spat out the words through gritted teeth, and left the Colosseum with a gloomy face.

Ma Ziai put on her mask and followed quickly behind.

At the same time, Huang Zhu and Ma Yishan, who were watching the live broadcast at the Ma Family Ancestral Hall, had faces as dark as a pot lid.

They had been full of anticipation to witness the moment of Chen Che's death, but instead, they saw the moment Bai Fengye's head was severed.

Although Bai Fengye's life or death had nothing to do with them, the failure of the Gambling Battle meant that their plot to frame Chen Che had failed once again!

And besides anger, Huang Zhu felt even more humiliation!

Her own son, Ma Zijun, had disregarded his status and reputation to openly take the stage to protect Chen Che, and her cousin, Fan Hao, had been hit in the shoulder by a "gun" from Chen Che and left in a sorry state.

Every single one of these things was like a silent slap after slap, fiercely striking her face, making her feel filled with hatred!

"Chen Che's brain is truly no less capable than his martial prowess. Our plan has fallen through again this time, but the Scorpion Society being targeted by the Justice Inspection Department is what is truly going to be in trouble."

Ma Yishan sighed with regret and said.

"So what if he's smart?! I will kill him sooner or later!"

Huang Zhu spat out the words viciously.

"What Chen Che has displayed is already more than just a Martial Dao genius; perhaps we should just stop here."

Ma Yishan observed Huang Zhu's expression and asked tentatively.

After this Gambling Battle, he suddenly did not want to seek revenge anymore, because he was afraid.

If Chen Che could scheme against the Scorpion Society without leaving a trace today, he might well be able to ferret them out from the shadows tomorrow.

"Shut up!"

Huang Zhu shouted angrily, clearly not listening.

Ma Yishan sighed, and just as he was about to say something more, Huang Zhu suddenly tackled him and tore at his clothes in a near-manic state.

However, the person most angry and sorrowful at this moment was Bai Xiangjin.

Inside his private villa, Bai Xiangjin smashed the screen he was using to watch the live broadcast to pieces.

The living room was in a mess, with traces of his smashing everywhere.

Bai Xiangjin slumped over a cabinet, holding a Photograph of Bai Fengye in both hands.

His face was as pale as paper, his brows were tightly locked, his eyes were bloodshot, and his lips were pressed tightly together, as if he were struggling to suppress the emotions about to erupt.

His heart was filled with anger and sorrow, these two emotions intertwined to form an indescribable pain.

As the Second-in-command of the Scorpion Society, and even more so as one of the original Elders of the Scorpion Society, Bai Xiangjin was extremely calculating and never showed his emotions.

Even when he heard that the Red Leaf Club had been smashed and Bai Fengye had been beaten, he had not shown a single ripple of emotion.

But at this moment, he could no longer hold it together!

Especially when he saw with his own eyes Chen Che hacking off Bai Fengye's head with a blade, his heart felt as if it were being twisted by a knife!

At this moment, he was filled with regret, anger, and sorrow—a multitude of emotions flooded his heart!

"Son, I'm sorry! It was Dad's carelessness; I let you handle the Gambling Battle on your own, thinking Chen Che was just a country bumpkin and wanting to make him your stepping stone, but I didn't expect him to be a vicious wolf!"

Bai Xiangjin's face twisted, his eye sockets turned red, and tears flowed silently down.

"Sir, the young master is gone; you must take care of your health."

The Bodyguard Wen Meng stood to the side, not daring to approach, just quietly guarding Bai Xiangjin.

"Heh... hehe..."

Bai Xiangjin's body was tense, his hands clenched into fists, his nails almost digging into his flesh, emitting a bone-chilling, miserable laugh.

"I want to kill him, kill him!"

His voice was low and trembling, every word sounding as if it were squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying a suppressed rage and deep sorrow, as if it would erupt at any moment.

Wen Meng advised: "Sir, avenging the young master is naturally important, but the most urgent matter is to make a clean break.

The people from the Justice Inspection Department will come to investigate by tomorrow at the latest; we must push the matter of the True Qi Weapon completely away before then."

"Just find a scapegoat."

Bai Xiangjin stared at the Photograph of Bai Fengye, his killing intent surging, his eyes filled with sorrow mixed with madness, "Go and arrange it; don't take too long. My son is still waiting for Chen Che to accompany him."

"Yes."

Wen Meng walked out slowly.
