Chapter 1605 - 1587
"What evidence do you have to say we’ve tampered with the stones?" Lin Dong saw him trying to shirk, and coldly shouted, "I think you just can’t handle losing."
"I’ve never lost before, but here I’ve lost twice in a row. If this isn’t tampering, then what is?"
Xu San was convinced that the two stones were waste stones, surely someone among them cheated. He was embarrassed and angered, sweeping his gaze around, cursing, "You all dare cheat right under my nose, I guess you don’t want to keep running this place!"
He turned to his lackey and said, "Go rally the brothers and smash this shady shop for me!"
"Yes!"
The person who was instructed had just walked two steps before Lin Dong stopped him, "I think you’re here looking for trouble, aren’t you? Losing and then claiming we run a shady shop, so many people are here gambling without a single mistake, you arrive and there’s a mistake—can I say you’re actually here deliberately picking a fight?"
As Lin Dong finished speaking, the people around immediately felt it made sense, and they all nodded in agreement. Those who had leaned towards Xu San before were now siding with Lin Dong.
After all, they were regulars at the Gambling Stone Field; they knew best what the people here were like and the atmosphere here.
"That’s right, I used to come here every day and never saw such a thing happen!"
"And as soon as he came, it happened—and twice, too. There’s definitely something fishy here."
"Who knows if someone’s jealous of the Gambling Stone Field owner doing good business, deliberately sent to stir up trouble."
The people around started murmuring quietly, and as Xu San heard them, he grew even more furious. Flushed with anger, he pointed at Jian Chunqiu and Lin Dong, "You just wait! I won’t let you off easily!"
"You want to leave just like that?" Lin Dong saw him trying to leave, took a step forward to block his path again, "You lost the bet just now, a loser must accept defeat; that’s the rule of the Gambling Stone Field, and the conduct of gamblers. If you still want to mix in at the Gambling Stone Field, then accept your punishment obediently."
Xu San glared at them angrily; looking at their posture, if he didn’t admit he lost, they wouldn’t let him go easily.
"Do you all want my life?" Xu San gritted his teeth and asked, "This is illegal!"
"Illegal? Haha."
Jian Chunqiu laughed heartily twice, "A loser must accept defeat; that’s our agreement. Do you think the police will care?"
"You!" Xu San glared at Jian Chunqiu angrily, this guy, is he bullying him for not knowing the law?
"I’ll warn you! My big brother is the famous boss in this area, Qian Youquan! If you dare lay a hand on me, he won’t let you go!"
Lin Dong rubbed his ears, looking at Xu San with some amusement, "Who did you just mention? Qian Youquan?"
"What, are you scared?"
"Scared? He’s the boss around here, we’re just a small business, how could we dare offend him."
Lin Dong said with exaggerated caution.
Xu San saw him shrink back, and became proud again. With hands on his hips, he glared at Lin Dong, saying, "If you treat me politely, perhaps I might say a few good words for you in front of Master Qian, let him not tear down your shady shop."
"What if we’re not polite to you?"
"If you’re not polite to me?" Xu San’s face instantly sank again, "If you’re not polite to me, I’ll flatten your shady shop!"
Seeing there wasn’t much left to talk about with him, Jian Chunqiu saw through his repeated claims of a shady shop, all because he couldn’t bear losing; since that was the case, he wouldn’t be polite anymore.
He gave Lin Dong a look, letting him handle it.
Lin Dong understood, he turned to Xu San and said, "I’d like to see if Qian Youquan will come help you tear this Gambling Stone Field down; if he can’t, I’ll take a limb off you!"
He knew his master’s intentions, wanting to teach Xu San’s arrogance a lesson; but now it seemed, even if they taught him superficially, Xu San wouldn’t learn from it—so they might as well just teach him well.
"Third Master, I’ll call Master Qian right away, these people not only don’t respect you, but don’t respect Master Qian either."
The lackey who came with Xu San said angrily, pulling out his phone to find Qian Youquan’s number and dial it directly.
Lin Dong watched his actions, feeling a bit surprised—a mere hangerson had Qian Youquan’s number?
Just as he was thinking, Lin Dong heard that person speak into the phone, "Master Qian, there’s some trouble here with Third Master, he needs you to come personally."
"..."
"Yes, yes, yes, not only are they disrespecting Third Master, they’re disrespecting you too—their words are really harsh; they don’t take you seriously at all, they even said they want to replace you!"
Hearing that, Lin Dong suddenly felt both angry and amused—this person really knows how to twist the facts, but it doesn’t matter; everything will be resolved once Qian Youquan arrives.
The person hung up the phone, then looked at Lin Dong arrogantly, "Hmph, when Master Qian arrives, you all will have a good time eating sour fruit!"
"I’ve seen plenty of people who refuse to pay up after losing, but to see someone this brazen is a first."
Lin Dong tutted, turning to people watching the commotion, "Everyone disperse; nothing much to see here anymore."
Jian Chunqiu walked over to Chu Ge and said, "There’s nothing going on here for now. What did you need from me?"
Chu Ge then remembered his real business, glanced around, and said, "Elder Jian, can we talk somewhere else?"
This place was too mixed with dragons and fish; not suitable for them to talk.
Jian Chunqiu nodded, "Alright, then come with me."
Xu San saw them about to leave, hurried forward to block their way, "Trying to run? No way!"
Running a shady shop trying to extort his money, and wanting his life too—it couldn’t end just like that!
Jian Chunqiu chuckled looking at him, "We’re not running; you still owe me money and your life, how could I walk away so easily?"
Right now, Xu San was seething with anger, not admitting defeat, thinking he couldn’t lose, "That might not be the case; this shop has been open for a while, and who knows if there’s been any foul play inside, but it’s different now that I’m here. Today, I’m upholding justice, flattening your shady shop!"
"I see you’re not only unable to handle losing, but also delusional. Living in your own world must be tiring, right? Constantly calling us a shady shop, just now everyone clearly saw—whether we cheated or not, you know best! Can’t handle losing is just that—talking more here will only lower your dignity!"
