Chapter 474: Don't Waste My Time
The casino owner was furious.
Third Master dying in his casino was a massive problem!
He'd taken a call earlier, but he hadn't thought Xiao Ye was anyone special—just a guy with a powerful backer, at most.
But now that this had happened, his backer probably wouldn't help him anymore!
'In that case, my priority has to be placating Third Master's men.'
If he couldn't calm them down, that gang might storm the casino and take his life!
They were a bunch of bloodthirsty maniacs!
The owner roared, "Men, get your hardware!"
The group he'd brought with him immediately stepped forward, raising their guns.
'So they had guns. No wonder they were so fearless.'
The owner glared daggers at Xiao Ye. "Someone called me earlier and told me to guarantee you'd leave this casino safely."
"But you just had to cause trouble for me. Since it's come to this, don't blame me for what happens next!"
"Today, I'm dragging you to apologize to Third Master's people!"
Xiao Ye looked at the gun barrels pointed at him, his expression unchanged. "I don't like people pointing guns at me."
"Fuck, who gives a shit what you like!" It was the first time the casino owner had ever been this pissed off. "You're at death's door and you're still running your mouth!"
Xiao Ye raised a slight eyebrow. Just as he was about to make his move, he overheard the onlookers discussing the scene.
"What a shame. To think Third Master would just die like that. I heard he kept several female dealers at his house!"
"I know, right? So rich and powerful, but he died before he could enjoy it all."
"Shh, quiet down! Aren't you afraid someone will hear you? If Third Master's men find out we're gossiping about him like this, we're all screwed!"
'Third Master has female dealers at his house?'
Xiao Ye lowered the hand he was about to raise.
'If that's the case, then I really must go have a look.'
He glanced at Zhu Chen, who nodded in return. They were clearly on the same page.
Sometimes, everything in the world could be part of heaven's plan.
Just like how they had encountered that uncooperative dealer today, which led to them killing Third Master.
Perhaps this was a sign from the heavens. A visit to Third Master's home was a must.
Xiao Ye casually glanced at the female dealer who had started the trouble. She was so terrified she had nearly lost her senses.
It was obvious that even if Xiao Ye let her go today, Third Master's men certainly wouldn't.
'This woman is as good as dead!'
The female dealer had clearly realized this as well. Judging by the look in her eyes, even if she came to her senses later, the trauma would have shattered her mind.
"Kid, not even God himself could save you today! I'm not letting you go!"
Xiao Ye actually gave a casual nod. "Tell your men to stop pointing their guns at me, and I'll go with you."
The owner was taken aback. 'Has this kid given up?'
"Fine! Don't cause any more trouble!"
After all, these two were formidable fighters. If they were willing to go on their own, that was for the best.
They could lower their muzzles, but they had to keep the guns in their hands. If there was any trouble, all they had to do was raise their arms.
The owner then looked at Zhu Chen. "He comes too!"
Xiao Ye started walking toward the entrance on his own. "What are you waiting for? Keep up. Don't waste my time."
The casino owner sucked his teeth. For some reason, he felt something was off about this guy.
He immediately ordered his men to follow, completely surrounding Xiao Ye and Zhu Chen to ensure they couldn't escape.
Leaving the casino, the group headed straight for Third Master's territory.
When the casino owner saw that Xiao Ye and Zhu Chen were actually chatting and laughing, a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart.
He looked at his subordinate. "Don't you think... there's something wrong with these two?"
The subordinate nodded. "I noticed. They don't seem to be afraid of anything."
"Why do you think that is?"
This subordinate was the owner's Staff Officer, the one who always came up with ideas. "Boss, there are only two possibilities in a situation like this."
"First, they're fearless because they have an extraordinary background. And from the way they're dressed, they don't look like ordinary people."
"However, this is Amana City. No matter how impressive their status, they should know to lay low here. We have nothing to fear."
This city was unlike any other.
South City could be completely locked down at a moment's notice.
If someone truly wanted to force their way in, they would have to see if North City, which could be affected, would even agree to it.
That was Dragon Country's territory, and the whole world knew of Dragon Country's power.
The subordinate continued, "And then there's the second possibility."
He tapped his own head. "These two kids might just be a little touched in the head."
"If they had any sense, they probably wouldn't be laughing right now."
The owner stared at their backs. They really didn't seem like they had any intention of escaping. In fact, they seemed almost happy about going to Third Master's territory.
"So, in your opinion, which one is it?"
"Boss, if you're asking me, I think the second possibility is more likely. No matter what background they have, it's too far away to help them now. It's not normal for them to be unafraid."
As they spoke, Xiao Ye and Zhu Chen finished their discussion.
Zhu Chen turned to look back at the owner, who was whispering with his subordinate. "We've decided. We're going straight to Third Master's residence, not his territory."
"You notify Third Master's men and tell them to come directly to his residence. Understand?"
"Are you nuts, kid? How dare you order me around! You two really must have a death wish!"
Zhu Chen's face darkened. "If you don't do it, I'll take your life right now! You can test it out—see if your men's guns are faster, or if we are!"
Hearing this, the owner's face contorted with rage.
But thinking of their skills and their sheer confidence, he agreed.
No matter what, it was always better to be careful. These two were just too strange. If he wasn't cautious, he had a feeling something would go wrong.
Thinking this, the owner looked at his subordinate. "Go notify Third Master's men. Tell them we're going directly to the villa, and they should bring their people over there too."
"If they ask why, just say... it was Third Master's dying wish."
The man was already dead anyway; they could say whatever they wanted.
"Yes, sir!"
The group changed course and headed toward Third Master's villa.
The depths of South City were where the rich resided. Third Master's villa was here, and it was the biggest and best one. The casino owner's was only second-rate in comparison.
When they arrived, Third Master's men were already there.
The one in the lead was none other than Third Master's illegitimate son.
When Zhu Chen saw his face, he couldn't help but comment, "He has the mien of a ruthless tyrant. An illegitimate son whose birth mother died young. If he continues to live, he'll be no small disaster."
Xiao Ye nodded in agreement. "We'll just have someone take care of him when the time comes."
This illegitimate son clearly wasn't very saddened by Third Master's death. In fact, you could faintly see a hint of a smile on his face.
As for Third Master's legitimate son, he was currently imprisoned in the villa's basement.
After the news of Third Master's death broke, the illegitimate son had captured him. His own death was now only a matter of time.
