Chapter 9, High Stakes

"Well then," the man in sunglasses took a deep breath, "I can only bet that he won't be able to kill that poor kid in one move."

Open the door, rush in, eliminate the opponent, it's that simple

The man in sunglasses hesitated and asked, "Who is the other party?"

The night was deepening, and the dim lights along the way continuously receded beside him. The entire city was sinking into a deep slumber, while his movements were light and agile, making not a single sound, nor disturbing anyone's sleep.

Once one reaches the Master realm, they have completely bid farewell to the realm of mortals, and even an army cannot contend with such an existence, unless a group of battle mechs is deployed, which may have a chance of defeating the opponent

He quickened his pace, his entire being resembling a gray meteor streaking across the night sky

Nie Yundao: "I want both money and the little red card girl"

"Nie Shao, is it really necessary to go this far?" said the man with a slicked-back hairstyle and sunglasses across from him

Nie Yun snorted and said, "What do you want to do?"

"Are you going to gamble or not? If you don't, I will turn against you. Don't blame me for being disrespectful," Nie Yun said impatiently

Generally, the young scions of wealthy families do not need to show any respect to the man in sunglasses, but Nie Yun is the largest aristocratic family in this area of Changning County, second only to the Su family

Behind the man in sunglasses, a graceful figure hides behind the back of a chair, not daring to show even her head

In the distance, a piercing alarm sound could be heard

The fierce tiger, the person is in my hands

Nie Yun slapped the other person and coldly said, "Who told me there was no problem?"

On the other side, the martial arts master, tasked with killing, was moving swiftly.

Nie Yundao: "This is my subordinate. I just instructed him to activate the real-time projection, and we can see him moving quickly."

These underground world refuse dared to raise prices temporarily, could it be that the reputation of my fierce tiger is no longer enough to intimidate them

The communicator has been disconnected

I will wait for you at the place where that guy lives, I believe you know the location

The female dealer couldn't help but wipe the sweat from her forehead, took a deep breath, and dealt the cards to the two players

This is more like it. If you win, two million will be yours said Nie Yun with a look of pride on his face

This matter ends here

Nie Yun glanced at the card in his hand and said, "Deal the cards, I will continue to call."

Gu Qingshan looked up and saw a small police shuttle rapidly approaching from the sky

"A poor student—right, I bet on a one-shot kill," Nie Yun said, giving a command into the communicator.

The man in sunglasses nodded and said, "That's right"

There is not a single person around, making it impossible for anyone to report to the police. The timing of the police's arrival is too coincidental, suggesting that it was planned in advance

Just as I was thinking, the communicator suddenly rang

Ironically, this instead alleviated Gu Qingshan's concerns.

Nie Yun fiddled with his communication holographic brain, projecting the image onto the pristine white wall

No, no, no, I believe the price should be raised further

Nie Yundao: "He will go to kill a person, and we will bet on how many moves he will use to kill the opponent"

He is the chief offering of the Nie family, known for his fierce and cruel temperament. He has always been the leader of all martial practitioners in the Nie family and earned a great reputation in his early years, being referred to as the "Fierce Tiger" in the martial arts community

He turned around and strode away

The man in sunglasses has long been entrenched in both the underworld and the legitimate world, and he deeply understands that in order to achieve anything in this territory, he must not offend the young master before him

The fierce tiger was somewhat surprised and replied, "Wasn't it instructed for you to kill him directly?"

The man in sunglasses secretly groaned, yet he smiled and said, "Please go ahead, Young Master Nie."

The man with sunglasses twitched his face, about to decline, when he heard a voice from behind: "Bet against him."

The graceful figure ceased to tremble and softly said: "If we lose, we will kill all the members of the Nie family, then strip him bare and send him to become a true red card."

A middle-aged man wearing a black bow tie and a white shirt walked in and whispered a few words in Nie Yun's ear

The location chosen by the other party is quite suitable, and the timing is also just right for committing murder and silencing witnesses

By the time Su Xueer learns of the news and sends someone to investigate, there will be nothing to see.

Nie Yundao: "You only have half an hour"

The man in sunglasses said with a bitter smile: "Your subordinate is a martial arts master; even when killing martial artists below five stars, he only needs one move."

Martial arts masters hold an equal status to that of nobility, revered by all and looked up to by the world

Nie Yun snapped his fingers, smiled, and raised his wine glass, saying: "Very well, let us quietly watch the fierce tiger hunt—watching a martial arts master kill is also a form of enjoyment"

The man in sunglasses lowered his voice and said, "What if we lose"

This matter is somewhat strange

Nie Yun said nonchalantly: "It's just two million; if you can't afford to play, you can fold."

Gu Qingshan cast a cold glance at the small police shuttle, grabbed the only young man still alive on the ground, and swiftly vanished into the darkness

The fierce tiger grinned, making an effort to sound calm, "The price can naturally be discussed, where are you?"

I lost, didn't I

He gazed at the arrogant Nie Yun across from him and sighed softly, "Alright, I am betting on it."

"Two million is nothing, but you still want the red card girl in my hand; I can't part with her," said the man in sunglasses

The poor boy lives in a building in the slums, on the 22nd floor, in the third room from the left

Nie Yundao: "This woman dares to splash a face full of drinks on me, I will make her understand some principles"

By tomorrow, there will naturally be individuals who go to surrender, citing that they had too much to drink and got into a conflict, resulting in an excessive response in the heat of the moment

Nie Yun pondered for a moment and suddenly said with a smile, "Why don't we engage in something more thrilling?"

Sensing the slight tremor of that graceful figure, the man in sunglasses smiled wryly and said, "I won't sell this red card. Let her go, and I will give you two more exquisite ones. What do you say?"

The middle-aged man bowed his head and said, "I apologize, young master, please give me one hour, and I will arrange for someone to resolve the issue"

The man in sunglasses felt a chill in his heart, realizing that this person was not planning to endure any longer

Dare to raise the price with me? Just wait, my reputation as a fierce tiger is not for nothing

The fierce tiger roared and smashed the roadside billboard with a single punch

Five minutes later, the fierce tiger stood on the 22nd floor of that building, identified the room number, and kicked open the security door.

The fierce tiger is very clear about its mission

She added, "At worst, I will give up the mission and return to my country"

This area has already become a slum, and along the way, there are not only no video surveillance cameras, but also very few pedestrians.

I can pay more, "Nie Yun said.

With everyone dead, what else can Su Xue'er do

The middle-aged man paused and said, "Yes, I will go personally"

Damn it, so that's how it is, the fierce tiger muttered darkly

Under normal circumstances, I would have been stabbed to death on the spot, after which the police would come to collect the body, pick up a dagger to make a scene record, and then hastily conclude the matter

Casino

The man in sunglasses spread his hands and said, "It's very simple. I will solve a problem for you, and in return, you will let go of my subordinate's red card."

Only when a warrior reaches the level of nine stars does he have the opportunity to challenge the realm of the grandmaster

"What’s wrong, Nie Shao? Is there something troubling you? Why not let me help you solve it," said the man with the slicked-back hair and sunglasses.

However, he would never be careless, after all, the group of people that had been arranged earlier had completely lost contact, and their whereabouts could not be found

On the other side.
