Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 963 - 962: Blind to Danger

"What on earth happened?" As soon as Xu Ke entered, his eyes scanned all the people present.

Seeing the casino almost beaten into ruins, Xu Ke’s expression turned somewhat unsightly.

"This group was cheating, and when caught, they refused to admit it, even starting a fight." Someone moved closer to Xu Ke and explained.

"You say I’m cheating just because you accuse me? Obviously, it’s your big casino that can’t afford to lose. You can watch others lose money but can’t stand watching others win. Winning is cheating to you." The man standing opposite Xu Ke spat out a mouthful of blood spit, and then spoke.

The look in his eyes directed at Xu Ke was fierce, with a hint of grimness, clearly showing his extreme dissatisfaction.

Xu Ke knew that taking on this position would certainly displease Lu Xun and his people, as it threatened their interests significantly.

But hoping that Xu Ke would simply hand over his power was out of the question.

No matter who sent this person today, or whether he came to make trouble on his own, Xu Ke didn’t intend to let him off easily.

"Do we have evidence?" Xu Ke turned to the person beside him and asked.

"Yes." The person standing next to Xu Ke replied firmly.

"Show me the evidence." Because the casino’s staff hadn’t been fully won over, Xu Ke couldn’t completely trust their words.

Before seeing concrete evidence, he didn’t plan to act, but if solid evidence was indeed presented, he wouldn’t back down either.

The man beside Xu Ke, hearing his words, immediately took out his phone, which contained the entire cheating process.

Xu Ke took the phone from the man, transferred the video to himself, and then turned to look at the person standing opposite.

"The evidence is now on my phone. Do I need to play it for you?" Xu Ke said, looking at the man opposite.

"Even if you have evidence, what of it? Let me tell you, I won a lot of money today, and you must cash it all out for me. If you don’t, your casino won’t be in business anymore." The man pointed a finger at Xu Ke’s nose and shouted loudly.

"Are you threatening me?" Xu Ke raised an eyebrow, looked at the man incredulously, and asked.

"Yes, I’m threatening you. What can you do? If you don’t meet my demands, I’ll turn my words into reality. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see. You’ll find out whether I’m all talk or not." The man scoffed at Xu Ke, saying.

"There’s no need to wait and see. I’ll be straightforward with you. Cheating in a casino is a major taboo. If caught, you’ll have to leave two hands behind. As for your previous winnings, they don’t count at all, and we won’t cash a cent for you." Xu Ke said with determination.

"Don’t think because I’m managing such a large casino for the first time, I’m ignorant and will listen to you. Expecting me to compromise for the casino’s business is a huge mistake. I definitely won’t." Xu Ke said, with a serious face, retracting his smile.

"Playing tough, huh? When I was out in the world, you didn’t even know where you were. Trying to scare me with this trick, that will never succeed. Today you have one choice, cash these chips for me, or I’ll take harsh measures to get the money. I’m not telling you this to negotiate. Whether you agree or not, the result is the same. I’m just trying not to put in too much effort." The man’s gaze wandered over Xu Ke with a contemptuous expression, and he spoke.

"Then I’d really like to see how you prevent my business from continuing." Xu Ke grinned at the man and said.

"You don’t believe it, huh? I’ve seen many like you who won’t cry until they see the coffin. Initially, they didn’t believe I’d take any action, thinking I’m just boasting and merely bluffing. Only when I’m angry and have taught them a lesson do they become obedient. Isn’t that pathetic?"

After the man finished speaking, his followers behind him began to laugh hysterically, as if they had heard an incredible joke, each one laughed like geese, looking more like a group of brainless fools than intimidating thugs.

Xu Ke displayed a look of disdain, "Honestly, this is the first time I’ve seen such a ridiculous scene. I thought fools were the dumbest people in the world, but I didn’t realize normal people could be even more laughable when they act stupid."

The group, who were laughing wildly moments ago, heard Xu Ke’s comment, and they fell silent as if they were mute gourds, choked into silence like ducks seized by the neck.

Meanwhile, their gazes at Xu Ke became particularly hostile, since Xu Ke’s previous words were practically pointing at their noses and calling them idiots.

This type of insulting rhetoric, especially being yelled at directly, was an experience they hadn’t encountered in a long time. Having been in service here for too long, few dared to provoke them.

Only in those early years when they had just started, devoid of reputation, were they ridiculed frequently. But later, once they gained notoriety, no one dared speak to them like this. Xu Ke was the first in recent years.

The man did not expect Xu Ke to be so bold, first stunned by Xu Ke’s words, afterwards his initial reaction was not anger, but laughter, though this laughter was perhaps more frightening than anger.

This smile looked like a venomous snake, cold and deadly. Once it entangled you, there was no chance of survival.

"Very well, I admire your courage. I hope you can consistently maintain it, keep that courage strong, don’t falter, don’t slap yourself in the face." The man said to Xu Ke, his words were particularly layered, as if an elder was advising a younger one, but this junior was not very cooperative.

"Thank you for your concern, but this isn’t something you need to worry about. I have my own stance, don’t worry, I never backtrack on slapping myself in the face." Xu Ke said with a smile,

His demeanor was relaxed and calm, which made the smile on the man’s lips gradually fade, his once curved mouth became straight today.

The man seemed to be enveloped in a layer of dark mist, making it appear dangerous.

Neither of them spoke, but the atmosphere between them grew increasingly tense, like compressed air that could explode at any moment.
