He Feifan invited Kawasaki Ichiro into the villa, while instructing the servants to brew tea, he sat down with Kawasaki Ichiro.
"Tell about the situation..."
Kawasaki Ichiro carried a lot of airs, but that didn't an he was overconfident. Before the competition, he had to take every opponent seriously enough; this was the only way to ensure victory.
Even if the opponent was an utterly incompetent ordinary gambler, he treated them the sa way...
It was precisely because of his serious attitude that his victories had been maintained until now, with hundreds of battles big and small, and never losing a single one, an impressive record indeed.
The reason he had so many big wins was that he clearly understood the information about his opponents. He studied so simple little habits thoroughly, allowing him to know both himself and his opponent, ensuring victory in every battle...
"Just got the news, that main opponent just went to visit Yu Zheng today..."
He Feifan imdiately chid in eagerly.
He was the landlord of Macau. Although he wasn't a major figure in his family, he still had a different status in the eyes of ordinary people, making it relatively easy to investigate matters, especially since his spies were scattered throughout Macau.
However, what surprised He Feifan was that Qin Fang actually went to visit Yu Zheng, who lived upstairs, suggesting they seed to know each other, which made him beco sowhat wary.
"Hmm?"
Kawasaki Ichiro, who had just sat down, imdiately stood up, his expression becoming unprecedentedly solemn, as if sothing very important had happened.
"Details..."
Kawasaki Ichiro had co for Yu Zheng; otherwise, he really hadn't planned on competing with other gambling kings. But Yu Zheng's appearance changed everything.
He had waited for Yu Zheng for over a decade, just to defeat Yu Zheng once he reappeared, thus becoming the true Asian Gambling King...
Originally, Kawasaki Ichiro thought he had to deal with just an ordinary person, at most an ordinary gambling king, who might cause him so trouble, but Kawasaki Ichiro felt he was sure to win.
But unexpectedly, this young man could align himself with Yu Zheng, which made Kawasaki Ichiro extrely sensitive.
He couldn't help it; Yu Zheng was like a sensitive word. Just ntioning it slightly would imdiately catch his attention...
"Whether they know each other or not, I really don't know!"
He Feifan shook his head. Though his spies reported this situation, the exact relationship between Qin Fang and Yu Zheng was unclear.
Perhaps they were long-ti friends, or had so close relationship, but it could also be that Qin Fang heard how formidable Yu Zheng was and planned to invite him for a match with Kawasaki Ichiro.
"Send soone to investigate it, make sure to find out the truth and get it to as soon as possible..."
After so thought, Kawasaki Ichiro decided not to take risks and to quickly investigate the matter, just as usual. This was crucial for his judgnts and strategies in the gambling competition.
"I'll arrange for people to handle it right away..."
He Feifan didn't object at all, nor did he engage in unnecessary talk, promptly starting to arrange for soone to investigate.
His master, Kawasaki Ichiro, couldn't afford to lose, and neither could he. He had been with his master for so many years and understood this clearly.
If Qin Fang managed to invite Yu Zheng to join the battle, it would indeed be a fierce confrontation, and who would win or lose would depend on their fortune.
As the landlord, He Feifan had plenty of people at his disposal, much like Elder Long of Hong Kong Island. With just one command, many underlings would work for him imdiately.
Although He Feifan couldn't inherit the He Family's company, the reputation alone was enough to make many people wary.
Macau was one of the world's three major gambling cities. Countless people flocked there, investing unimaginable sums, and many worked for the He Family as well.
He Feifan could easily use his influence to find people to investigate these more hidden matters, without easily being discovered.
The relationship between Qin Fang and Yu Zheng was challenging to uncover, but since Kawasaki Ichiro ntioned it, He Feifan had to try to find out as much as possible about their relationship.
At the very least, determining whether Yu Zheng would participate in this gambling match was vital. Yu Zheng was Kawasaki Ichiro's biggest threat and most dreaded opponent, so he had to be prepared in advance!
...
"Since you feel so confident, go ahead and handle it yourself... But I must remind you, Kawasaki Ichiro is definitely not simple, you shouldn't underestimate him!"
After a brief chat with Yu Zheng, Qin Fang left there. Before leaving, Yu Zheng specifically reminded him of this point, clearly indicating that Kawasaki Ichiro's caution and ticulousness were formidable!
"Kawasaki Ichiro, I hope you won't disappoint people too much..."
Leaving Yu Zheng's place, Qin Fang couldn't help but think this way.
Kawasaki Ichiro was indeed terrifying, even Yu Zheng felt imnse pressure, but Qin Fang didn't feel such pressure. Firstly, he was confident he wouldn't lose this match easily; secondly, he wanted to clear any obstacles for Yu Zheng as much as possible.
Qin Fang wasn't interested in such gambling king competitions. He didn't want to be in the spotlight for no reason; that was certainly unwise.
No help for it, Qin Fang had too many enemies, with more to be offended in the future; it was better to keep his face as hidden as possible.
Although he could use tamorphosis to alter his appearance during future missions, even this might not be so effective.
The gambling king competition was organized by various major casinos and the Global Gambling Association, a worldwide event, though its audience was relatively narrow. The problem was the underground world was part of that audience.
If Qin Fang showed his face in this competition, there would be endless trouble afterwards. If during a mission, soone accidentally saw his face, trouble would co swiftly.
Although Qin Fang wasn't afraid of these troubles, if they affected his tasks and actions, it wouldn't be worth it.
Moreover, Yu Zheng was already participating, and he had the best chance of winning the title of Asian Gambling King. If Qin Fang entered as well, it would be aningless; he couldn't steal the honor that belonged to Yu Zheng.
Qin Fang's missions often involved things unseen in the light, mostly involving killing, with those he killed often being significant figures of great power.
To kill such people ant offending great powers. If Qin Fang's identity was exposed, it wouldn't just endanger him; he could protect himself, but it would be highly detrintal and dangerous for his family and friends.
Besides, Qin Fang intended to go to Devil's Island in the future, along with others, and during the inevitable infighting, many would surely target him.
This was the downside of being a well-known figure; too easily recognized and too easily targeted as an enemy...
Compared to a minor benefit, just a re gambling king title and a pitiful bit of prize money, it wasn't worth putting himself in endless danger. Qin Fang certainly wouldn't do sothing so foolish.
"Gambling King? Is this title so impressive? Why is it everywhere... I should strive for the title of King of Assassins!"
Nowadays, gambling kings are everywhere and worthless. Comparing the two, the title of King of Assassins has more value... Qin Fang naturally wanted to seize that for the best gains!
