Chapter 55

Xiao Bing tightly gripped Huang Daotian's neck, and the surrounding henchmen, who had just gotten up from the ground, were hesitant to act, surrounding them but not daring to approach.

"You... who are you...," Huang Daotian's face began to turn purple due to the difficulty in breathing, and the man with him was so frightened that he squatted on the ground, hugging his head and screaming.

Xiao Bing, still gripping his neck, dragged him towards the door. Julia clung to her man and followed closely behind. Everyone watched this scene, and despite Xiao Bing being alone, they all had the illusion that the entire casino was under his control, and he was the master of their lives.

Step by step, as Huang Daotian's eyes began to roll back, Xiao Bing threw him to the ground. The henchmen rushed over, frantically helping Huang Daotian up. Xiao Bing looked at Huang Daotian with a calm yet somewhat disdainful expression and said, "Murder is illegal, and you don't deserve to die. I just want to give you a lesson. Don't think you can set rules for everyone. In my eyes, you don't have that kind of qualification. Haven't you heard the saying, 'The true masters are among the people!'"

Xiao Bing suddenly pulled out a lighter from his pocket and smiled evilly, "I'm giving you a second lesson. Illegal activities will not go unpunished, even if the state doesn't punish you, you will still face retribution. This casino has no reason to exist anymore. It ends here..."

Xiao Bing threw the lighter, and a tablecloth quickly caught fire. The employees in the casino wanted to put out the fire, but Xiao Bing said calmly, "Stand still and watch. This is something you might never see in your life. If anyone disrupts my game, I'll tie you up and set you on fire."

The people didn't dare to move, watching the fire spread. Huang Daotian was almost fainting with rage and shouted, "You... no matter how strong you are, do you know who the real boss of this casino is? The real boss is the Northern King, the ruler of the three northern districts of Jiangcheng, the Peony Fairy Northern King! You burn my casino, and the Northern King will take your life."

"Huh?" Xiao Bing looked surprised and then shook his head, "I don't know him!"

Damn! Huang Daotian cursed in his heart but didn't dare to say it out loud, only gritting his teeth. He would report this to the Northern King after the incident and have the Northern King deal with this guy.

At this point, everyone couldn't stay still. The fire was spreading wildly, and it looked like it was getting out of control. People wanted to rush out of the casino, but seeing Xiao Bing blocking the door, they hesitated. Some people started to curse wildly.

Xiao Bing smiled and looked at Julia, saying, "Let's go."

Julia looked at Xiao Bing with surprise and nodded. Her husband, Zhang Gui, looked back at the casino with regret, clearly a man who couldn't change his ways.

On the street, the people from the casino rushed out. The fire had spread to the point where it was uncontrollable. Xiao Bing and Julia took a taxi and left. On the way back, Zhang Gui kept smiling at Julia and asked how much money she had left. Julia didn't say a word and didn't give him a good face the whole way.

When they arrived at Julia's apartment, the three of them got out of the car. Xiao Bing said, "You go back, Miss Zhu. I should have gotten that 100,000 yuan back..."

"It's okay," Julia said somewhat sadly, "One thing is one thing. Paying back debts is a principle of being a person. I will pay back the 100,000 yuan I borrowed from you within a year. Thank you for today. I owe you a favor."

Xiao Bing smiled, "Don't worry about it. My home isn't far from here. I'll go first."

"Okay."

Julia walked towards the apartment, and Xiao Bing walked towards the Su family's direction. Zhang Gui stood there hesitantly. Julia took out her key, opened the door, and looked back at her husband, frowning, "Zhang Gui, what are you doing there?"

"Ah, men's business, women don't interfere. Go back first, I'll be back after talking to my brother for a bit."

Zhang Gui seemed to have made a decision and directly followed Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing, seeing Zhang Gui catch up, was somewhat puzzled, "Why aren't you going home? What do you want?"

"Hehe, just a chat. Let's go to a place where no one is around, I have something to discuss with you."

Xiao Bing was originally reluctant to deal with such a man, but he was also curious about what this man was thinking, so he followed Zhang Gui to a deserted street and stopped. Facing each other, Xiao Bing looked at the nervous Zhang Gui and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

"That...," Zhang Gui rubbed his hands and laughed, "Do you have a thing for my wife?"

Xiao Bing didn't expect Zhang Gui to ask this and felt a bit like he was caught in the act. To be honest, Xiao Bing didn't have any ill intentions towards Julia, but every time he faced her, he felt a bit of physiological excitement. After all, he had fantasized about her before, and now being asked by her husband, anyone would feel awkward.

Xiao Bing quickly put on a stern face, "What are you talking about?"

"Don't get upset... a beautiful woman is a gentleman's desire. Do I not know my wife? Even though she married a man like me, who isn't good-looking, every man on the street looks at her. I know what men think. For a young, capable, and talented man like you to have a thing for my beautiful wife, isn't that normal?"

Xiao Bing frowned, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, if you have a thing for my wife, you can come to my house anytime. I'll pretend I don't see it. Don't worry about me. I, Zhang Gui, am a man with a conscience. You saved me today, and this is my way of repaying you."

Xiao Bing felt a surge of anger and sarcastically thought, "It's not that simple, is it? What else?"

"Also... hehe, I have a small request. 100,000 yuan... you gave my wife 100,000 yuan so easily, so you must be rich. For this 100,000 yuan, you can play with my wife for a year. Whether you can get her is up to you... nowadays, it costs tens of thousands to keep a college student for a month. My wife is no less attractive, right? Not expensive, is it?"

With a thud, Xiao Bing punched Zhang Gui in the face. The punch was so powerful that even a tough man would be knocked down. Zhang Gui flew several meters but, considering he was Julia's husband, Xiao Bing didn't hit too hard. Zhang Gui wiped the blood from his nose and stood up dizzily.

Zhang Gui was about to curse when he saw Xiao Bing's cold eyes. He remembered how the people in the casino were beaten by Xiao Bing and how Huang Daotian almost died. He swallowed his words.

Xiao Bing walked towards him, and Zhang Gui trembled, "Brother... I was wrong... I'm not... Brother, just let me go... Brother, from now on, you can play with my wife whenever you want, and I won't ask for money, okay?"

Xiao Bing slapped him, and Zhang Gui spun around, half his face swollen, looking fearful.

Xiao Bing sneered, "The first kick is for your wife. I have nothing to do with your wife. We were strangers before today. The money to save you wasn't given to her for free; I lent it to her. She works hard every day to support the family, while you gamble. Now you shamelessly use your own wife to make money. Do you have any conscience?"

"This slap is for me. I, Xiao Bing, am a man of integrity. If I want to pursue your wife, I'll do it openly and honestly, not through these disgusting, secret deals. Do you think you can stop me if I want your wife?"

Zhang Gui trembled, "I... I am her husband..."

"Do you even know you are her husband?" Xiao Bing said disdainfully, "I finally understand why you dared to molest that woman. You are a brainless person. There are a thousand ways for me to make you disappear from this world, and you can do nothing about it. When that happens, you will no longer exist in this world, and your wife will be a widow. Will you still be her husband?"

Zhang Gui shivered, feeling the man was terrifying and would definitely do what he said. He didn't dare to make a sound.

Xiao Bing sneered, "So, put away your dirty thoughts. What happens between you and your wife is none of my business, and I don't want to know why your beautiful wife married a man with such dirty thoughts. But if you do anything dirty in front of me, I won't be able to control my urge to kill you. There's a famous saying, 'I can't control the primal force within me...' Get lost!"

Zhang Gui nodded and bowed in fear, taking a few steps and running. Xiao Bing suddenly shouted, "I said, get lost!"

Zhang Gui immediately fell to the ground and rolled back home...

"Damn... if I want your wife, do I need to go through you? What a bunch of scumbags." Xiao Bing muttered, walking home, feeling particularly bad. The main reason was because of this man, who was even worse than Wu Dalang. Xiao Bing felt a bit sorry for Zhang Gui.

In the Northern King's palace, the Peony Fairy looked at the prostrate Huang Daotian and asked, "Xiao Bing really burned down the casino?"

"Yes, he looked very angry... I even thought he wanted to kill me. The man's killing intent was too strong... King... King... what should we do? Should we teach him a lesson?"

"Teach him a lesson? Why? Just because he burned down the casino? But I think he did a good job. It was really good. Hehehe... he is indeed a good lover who cherishes beauty..."
