    18: Chapter 18: Bullfighting?

    “It’s up to you, but don’t expect my gratitude,” Liu Yajing glanced at Ye Feng and spoke with the same coldness.

    “Uh!” Ye Feng was somewhat at a loss for words.

    He didn’t seem to have offended her, so why did she dislike him so much?

    “By the way, beautiful, I don’t think I’ve offended you, have I?

    Is there some misunderstanding about me?” After getting into the Black Dragon Gang’s car, Ye Feng looked at Liu Yajing sitting beside him and asked, puzzled.

    “Humph!” Liu Yajing didn’t answer Ye Feng, just snorted coldly, turned her head away, and clearly showed no interest in talking to Ye Feng.

    “Right, thanks for the statue last time.

    My friend really liked it, and I charged him 400,000 for it.

    How about I give you that money?” Ye Feng didn’t give up despite Liu Yajing’s coldness.

    After all, he had taken a statue from her, and he always felt a bit guilty since the help that statue had provided was beyond any monetary value.

    “That statue was really valuable?

    You’re not lying to me?” Hearing Ye Feng bring up the statue again, and mentioning it was worth a lot, Liu Yajing finally showed some interest and asked, skeptical.

    “Yes!

    He said it was an antique and paid 400,000 for it,” Ye Feng nodded and responded with a smile.

    “I won’t let you suffer a loss, 400,000, half for each of us, how about that?” Money is tempting for anyone, and seeing Ye Feng’s expression didn’t seem like a lie, Liu Yajing decided to split the money with Ye Feng.

    “Alright, no problem.

    I’ll transfer the money to you after we sort this out,” Seeing Liu Yajing’s attitude soften, Ye Feng finally understood where the issue lay.

    Apparently, she was upset he had taken the statue and not shared the money with her.

    Women, really.

    What he didn’t know was that he had actually misunderstood Liu Yajing, and things were not as he imagined...

    The headquarters of the Black Dragon Gang was located in the downtown area at the Dragon Tiger KTV, and at that moment, inside one of the private rooms of Dragon Tiger KTV, Ye Feng and Liu Yajing were facing off with Xu Long, the boss of the Black Dragon Gang, hostility filling the air between them.

    “You two are quite bold, daring to beat up my men and now even showing up here.

    Aren’t you afraid I’ll tear you apart?” Seeing that Ye Feng showed no fear, Xu Long was somewhat impressed, but he still had to assert his dominance.

    It would be good if he could intimidate Ye Feng a bit.

    “I sincerely came here to reconcile and I hope Boss Liu can spare us,” Ye Feng had come here out of fear of future troubles, so his attitude was quite genuine.

    “Spare you?

    How am I supposed to explain this to my injured brothers?

    Boy, you’re taking it too lightly,” Even though Ye Feng was sincere, Xu Long still seemed a bit angry, as this matter involved the gang’s reputation and couldn’t be easily dismissed.

    “I will compensate.

    Just state your conditions, and as long as I can fulfill them, I will try my best to satisfy you, how about that?” Ye Feng had anticipated that Xu Long would respond this way, so he brought up a pre-prepared conciliatory offer.

    “Boy, you’re quite confident, huh?” Hearing Ye Feng’s words, Xu Long looked at him as if he were a curious creature and said, amused.

    “What I lack in everything else, I make up for in confidence.

    I would rate myself second, and no one dares claim the first,” Ye Feng smiled and boastfully replied.

    “Alright, I’ll give you two choices now.

    First, pay 1 million and I’ll pretend this never happened.

    Second, gamble with me.

    If you win, I’ll let it go.

    If you lose, you pay 2 million.

    How about that?” Seeing how confident Ye Feng was, Xu Long clapped his hands and laid out very harsh conditions, aiming to crush Ye Feng.

    “Deal, it’s settled then.

    If I win, we pretend this never happened.

    If I lose, I’ll pay you 2 million.” When it came to gambling, Ye Feng couldn’t resist; he quickly agreed, eager to put the trouble behind him...

    Hearing that Ye Feng wanted to gamble, Xu Long was amused.

    Throughout Longning City, he rarely found an equal in gambling.

    He could call himself second to none.

    So, in his mind, the 2 million was already in his pocket.

    “Each person gets 500,000 in chips, and in an hour, whoever has more chips wins, how about that?” There was an underground casino hidden in Dragon Tiger KTV.

    After taking Ye Feng and Liu Yajing to the underground casino, Xu Long explained with a smile.

    “OK, what are we playing?” Ye Feng had no objections to the rules.

    His concern was what they were going to play today.

    “Ever played Bullfighting?” Instead of answering Ye Feng’s question, Xu Long turned it back on him.

    “Bullfighting?

    I’ve played it, but I’m not very familiar with it.” Ye Feng hadn’t played much Bullfighting; he wasn’t very interested in it as it didn’t involve much skill.

    “OK, that’s good enough.

    Today, we’re playing Super Bullfighting which is different from usual.

    At the start, each player is dealt only three hole cards,” hearing that Ye Feng had played Bullfighting before, Xu Long nodded and began explaining.

    “After receiving your three hole cards, you can choose to call or fold.

    If someone bets, you can also choose to raise.

    But if you raise, your opponent can also raise.

    Similarly, when you receive the fourth and the fifth card, you also need to decide whether to call, raise, or fold.

    This is the more popular Super Bullfighting now; it’s essentially Bullfighting but with added playability.

    Do you understand?”

    “I get it, it’s based on Bullfighting, but the playstyle is almost like Texas Hold’em, right?” Ye Feng clearly understood, and after explaining in his own words, it sounded even more straightforward.

    “Right!

    I didn’t expect you to be so quick-witted.

    I hope your gambling skills are just as sharp,” Xu Long looked at Ye Feng, surprised, and praised him loudly.

    “Just so-so, world’s third,” Ye Feng modestly replied with a smile.

    “Hey!

    Are you sure about this?

    You’ll owe a million if you lose,” Although Ye Feng seemed very calm, Liu Yajing was not so confident and quickly grabbed him as he was about to sit at the gambling table, asking in a soft voice.

    “Don’t worry!

    Trust me when I’m on the job,” Ye Feng reassured Liu Yajing with a confident expression, then boldly took his seat at the gambling table.

    With the ability of Penetrating Vision, what reason did he have not to win?

    After both parties had placed a 10,000 ante, the croupier started dealing the cards.

    He dealt three cards each to Xu Long and Ye Feng and then stopped, watching their contest unfold.

    After receiving his cards, Ye Feng used his Penetrating Vision to check.

    His three hole cards were the 2, 8, and 10—a very decent start.

    Looking at Xu Long’s cards, the other man had a 5, 9, and 7, which were significantly inferior to his own.
