Chapter 64 - Threats
Article 3 stated that guests of Fairy No. 7 were allowed to defend themselves using any means if they were threatened in their room. Whether the threat was real or not was based solely on the guest’s account.
It was obvious that, even if Di Jiu killed Feng Qi and Qian Qijiang, he would still not be breaking the rules. This was why Di Jiu wanted them to enter his room voluntarily.
Qian Qijiang quickly swept across the Article with a smile. “You are indeed a juvenile hero. This is the first time in years that I’ve heard such a heroic statement. I’ll give you three days to return the money. If you don’t, I’m afraid your big reputation won’t prevent you from ending up dead on this ship. You must know that the dead cannot speak for themselves.”
“You’ll also have to pay 10 billion alliance dollars to the Heavenly Immortal Casino as compensation for its losses,” Feng Qi added.
These days, the Heavenly Immortal Casino had a daily income that ranged from hundreds of millions to billions of alliance dollars. If rumor of the trouble Di Jiu had stirred up spread, the casino’s reputation would be tarnished. There was no question that the rumor would spread. Countless people had witnessed the scene, so it was impossible that the rumor would not spread.
Unless one was addicted to gambling, they would not visit the casino again after that incident.
They had also asked Di Jiu for compensation regardless of his background so that they could force him to return the money he had won and appease their hatred for him. Why bother holding back? They would simply let Di Jiu compensate them with a large sum and break his arm.
Breaking his arm was just a false pretense. Their true intention was to kill him. Once he returned the money, they would use that as an excuse to murder him.
Di Jiu laughed angrily and pointed to the sea outside. “Jump on your own, or I’ll help you down.”
As his belief was shattered, he started to wonder whether his dagger was just a standard, regular knife.
“Please stop, pal!” Qian Qijiang shouted quickly.
Feng Qi was so flustered that he stepped back. Di Jiu took a look at Feng Qi and said, “If you cut off your left arm and jump into the sea, I will not pursue you into the water to kill you.”
To Di Jiu’s surprise, Feng Qi did not hesitate. He immediately took a short knife out of his clothes and cut off his arm without hesitation. When his arm fell to the ground, he dropped the knife and hit a few acupuncture points on his shoulder. Then, he took some medicine out of his pocket, swallowed it, uttered a thank you, turned around quickly, rushed out of Di Jiu’s room and jumped into the sea.
Although Feng Qi was only half Qian Qijiang’s age, he had taken too many lives with his bare hands, so he must have sensed that Di Jiu wanted to kill him. Even though this had not bothered him before, when he saw Di Jiu easily restrain Qian Qijiang, he realized that he could really kill him.
However, Di Jiu had actually given him a chance to live. If he did not grab this opportunity, then he would not live to see another day.
“That guy is really courageous,” Di Jiu said in surprise. Then, he raised his foot and kicked Feng Qi’s arm out of the door and directly into the sea.
He had actually planned on killing Feng Qi. If Feng Qi had hesitated, he would have killed him first and then killed Qian Qijiang. His offer to allow Feng Qi to lose an arm and jump into the sea, thus giving him a chance to live, had been spontaneous.
“I will also jump into the sea…” Qian Qijiang said hurriedly.
Although he could still fight Di Jiu, his courage was unfortunately waning, so he simply did not dare.
How could Di Jiu let Qian Qijiang go again? This guy had been about to kill him. He wanted to torture him before killing him, so sparing him that torture would be a kind enough act on his part. Letting him go would be too kind.
Di Jiu kicked Qian Qijiang out and took a step forward. Then, he used his toes to kick the short knife Feng Qi had just dropped.
The knife, which seemed to have eyes, pierced Qian Qijiang’s head from the back and fell into the sea along with him.
