Excessive ferocity due to caution

Inside the magnificent circular hall, dice rolled wildly on a green-dotted wooden table.

This is the most glorious moment of its life.

Many people's eyes were fixed on its square body, filled with excitement, tension, and fear.

Until the dust settles.

Cheers erupted, pushing the atmosphere to its peak.

This is a casino in an abandoned city.

To welcome guests, the Jie Sect spent a great deal of money and resources on this place.

Sensing the lively, even somewhat chaotic, atmosphere inside, those invited into the casino showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

These people all came from the capital.

Some people are at the level of near-major misfortune, while others are truly in dire straits.

Of course... the Jie Sect doesn't currently have that many major evils.

Therefore, if they are not restrained, these people will never obediently submit.

This is when Yunfang came in handy.

In the cultivation world she once lived in, there were many spells that could be used to seal the power of others.

Thus, a group of people who rushed from the capital upon hearing the news became lambs to the slaughter before they even saw Zhao Yi.

Although the people of the Jie Sect were very polite to them.

However, that's because they no longer posed any real threat to the Jie Sect. Those who were threatening... had already been dealt with long ago.

The remaining people, filled with unease, entered the magnificent casino hall.

They could see, looking up, a handsome man in a pure black tailcoat leaning against the white stone railing on the second floor of the casino's rotunda, smiling at them.

He was flipping a silver coin in his hand.

This face is familiar to the people on the first floor.

That is Zhao Yi, whose story has been copied into every headline.

"I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting."

Zhao Yi greeted them.

Immediately, someone below exclaimed:

"Zhao Yi, you were hiding here after all!"

Zhao Yidao:

"It's not a matter of hiding."

"I've always been in this place."

"If I want to hide, you won't find me."

He slowly descended the spiral staircase beside him and continued:

"You all came in such a hurry that I didn't have any gifts to prepare. This casino was barely finished when I invited you all to come and play..."

"I hope everyone has a great time at the casino today."

Even before Zhao Yi spoke, the noise on the first floor had completely disappeared. The gamblers who had been roaring and laughing just moments before now stood aside, staring at the people from the capital with cold eyes. This stark contrast made the guests from the capital, whose powers had been sealed by Yun Fang, tremble all over.

The scene speaks for itself.

The gamblers in the casino earlier... were actually all assassins under Zhao Yi's command.

"Zhao Yi, we didn't come to the ruined city because of you..."

A woman, terrified by the murderous aura surrounding them, tried to communicate with Zhao Yi.

The latter glanced at her and said calmly:

"Why would you try to explain yourself to a serial killer?"

The woman choked:

"No, I..."

Looking at her anxious yet slightly fearful eyes, Zhao Yi smiled and said:

"Miss, since we're already here, why not take a gamble?"

He snapped his fingers.

Immediately, assassins arrived with dice and two cups for shaking them.

"Let's play a game of comparing sizes."

Zhao Yi said calmly and unhurriedly.

"If you win, I'll let you leave."

The woman's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this, but she quickly replied in a deep voice:

Is this really true?

Zhao Yi placed the three dice into the cup and laughed:

"really."

Upon hearing this, the woman glanced at the several people who had come from the capital beside her, hesitated for a moment, and then walked to the opposite side of Zhao Yi and took the dice from the table.

"How do we compete?"

"One round decides the winner; it's all about size."

"good!"

This woman was very decisive.

She knew that trying to escape by force was unrealistic. All of their powers were now sealed, while Zhao Yi's side consisted entirely of desperate criminals. Even the weakest assassin in the hall was at the half-step Great Fiend realm, making it as easy as slaughtering animals!

Therefore, if you want to leave, you can only follow the path Zhao Yi gave you.

People around them automatically gathered around, watching the dice cups in their hands with bated breath.

Start shaking!

Zhao Yi shook the dice cup a couple of times and then turned it upside down on the table.

The woman kept shaking.

Although most of her strength was suppressed, her hearing remained sharp.

She tried to pinpoint the location by listening to the sounds.

Although this scene appears frequently in movies, TV series, and novels, the idea of ​​identifying points by sound is actually a misconception.

This is only possible with specially made dice.

Even with hearing as acute as a woman's, it would be absolutely impossible to pinpoint a location by sound.

That's an operation that no ordinary person could perform.

She hesitated to place her cup at this moment, mainly because she was worried about losing.

Zhao Yi didn't say what would happen if she lost... nor did she ask.

But in her heart, she already had the answer.

The man in front of me is the most famous demon in the capital!

If I lose, will he be kind enough to let me off the hook?

Sweat beaded on the woman's forehead.

Her arms started to ache, and she knew she had to put the dice down; otherwise, if she kept shaking them, the dice might fly out of the cup.

boom!

With a loud crash, the woman slammed the dice cup upside down onto the table.

The hand gripping the dice cup became numb from the vibration.

"alright?"

Zhao Yi had a smile on his face.

The woman gritted her teeth and said coldly:

"This game is completely unfair!"

"Our power is sealed, while you are at your peak. You can easily control the numbers in your dice cup, but we can't!"

Zhao Yi's gaze remained calm:

"You want fairness from me?"

"If you value fairness so much, why didn't you demand fairness from the four major families when you were being oppressed in the capital?"

The woman was taken aback.

The next moment, a sharp knife was held against her neck.

The cold touch instantly snapped her back to reality.

"Wait a moment!"

The woman screamed.

But it was too late.

The assassin's blade had already struck.

Hot, red blood splattered onto the green cloth on the table. The woman's head rolled to the side, and her headless body fell down as well.

The dice cup was still clutched in his hand.

On the table, she shook her head and dialed 666, indicating 18 PM.

Zhao Yi opened the pot.

38,250 points.

The woman won.

Staring at the silent crowd around him, Zhao lit a cigarette:

"You saw it?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Zhao Yi continued:

"The casino was built for you. You're all gamblers anyway, so why not have a good time here?"

"My rule here is that the games must be played strictly and fairly. In the casino, there are all kinds of games, including cards, dice, mahjong, etc."

"Winning a game earns you ten points, losing a game deducts ten points."

"You can form your own teams to gamble. The top three scorers within three hours will be the ones to leave here alive."

After saying that, Zhao raised his hand, and the silver coin appeared between his fingers once again.

He came to an hourglass and dropped the silver coin into the groove at the top of the hourglass.

And so the hourglass, which had been still... began to leak.

"Well then, gentlemen and ladies..."

"The game has begun."

P.S.: I went out to play today.

First update.

I'll write the second update right away.
