454: Chapter 454: Breaking the Stalemate 454: Chapter 454: Breaking the Stalemate Su Xuan’s voice was like that of a judge, devoid of any emotion, yet it concealed a sense of indifference and chilling coldness.
His gaze swept over Hei and the group of n behind him.
Hearing Su Xuan speak like that, a noticeable ripple of emotion flashed across the face of a subordinate standing beside Hei.
Hei’s face grew dark.
With Su Xuan being so brazen in front of him, it hurt his pride as a boss—more accurately, Hei felt his authority had been challenged and insulted by Su Xuan.
“Enough, what the hell do you think you are to question my n?
Let’s be real here, it was who stabbed Biao, what can you do to !” Hei flicked the long fringe on his forehead, his voice indifferent.
Su Xuan scoffed, raising an eyebrow.
“Fuck your granny, since you’ve admitted it yourself, I’ll make sure you understand what happens to those who stab my brothers!”
After saying this, Su Xuan moved towards him step by step.
Hei watched with a cold look as Su Xuan walked towards him with such a cocky stride, his rage igniting instantly.
“Acting tough, I’ll make you act, you big fucking fool!”
Swearing, Hei charged at Su Xuan with the slice knife in hand.
A cruel smile appeared on Su Xuan’s lips as his arm shot out lightning-fast, eting Hei’s attack.
His arm, like a slithering snake, easily dodged the slice knife’s strike, leaving a stunning impression visually.
After dodging, Su Xuan’s arm was already within reach of Hei’s body, his palm striking ferociously at the arm Hei held the knife with.
The violent slap made the knife fall to the ground.
From Hei’s angry thrust to Su Xuan’s lightning-fast response that knocked the knife from Hei’s grip, the entire sequence lasted no more than five seconds.
It was within those five seconds that Hei had already lost.
Sotis, that’s how opportunities work—they’re fleeting!
After disarming Hei, Su Xuan’s arm drove forward, and in an instant, he had grabbed the front of Hei’s shirt, yanking him forward so that he now stood right before Su Xuan.
Su Xuan’s other hand promptly slapped Hei’s face without any hint of politeness.
“Smack, smack, smack……”
With a rhythmic sound, Su Xuan’s hand moved exceedingly fast, hitting Hei’s face over a dozen tis in the blink of an eye.
Hei was struck senseless, his entire being seeming almost insane.
“Was it still you who stabbed my brother Biao?” Su Xuan asked with a smile on his lips.
Hei’s mouth bled, his head was booming, but instinctively he managed to answer.
“It’s not , it’s not !”
“Then you’re still acting tough in front of , drop dead!”
Raising an eyebrow, Su Xuan delivered a kick to Hei’s abdon, sending him flying out cold.
Su Xuan’s gaze, then locked onto a thin young man to the side.
“Kid, are you the one who did the stabbing?”
“No…” Before the thin guy could speak up, a voice belonging to Biao erupted from the crowd behind Su Xuan.
“Li Xiaosan, if it wasn’t you who stabbed , then who the hell did?”
Upon hearing Biao’s words, Li Xiaosan almost wet himself.
Behind Su Xuan, Biao walked forward with a bandage, fixing his gaze on Li Xiaosan.
Li Xiaosan’s face turned deathly pale, dropping to his knees before the approaching Biao.
“Brother Biao, I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive !” Li Xiaosan’s face was a picture of misery as he knelt on the ground, begging frantically.
Biao sneered coldly, “You can still kneel?
When you stabbed , this matter couldn’t be settled by a re apology.
Don’t you understand that by now?”
Biao completely scorned Li Xiaosan’s actions.
He was indifferent, even dismissive!
Su Xuan remained silent, leaving the matter for Biao to handle.
After all, he had already taken down Hei, the casino’s top dog from Phantom Night, turning the situation into fish on the chopping board.
“Brother Biao, I realize my mistake now, please let off!”
Li Xiaosan knelt on the ground, his face pale as death, his face a ss of snot and tears, looking utterly pitiful.
“Too late.
Back when you had the chance to roll with our boss, you looked down on us like we were grass on the wall.
Now enjoy the good life you’ve collected for yourself!”
Biao’s voice echoed through the casino.
“Knife!”
Biao’s voice was loud and clear.
A subordinate swiftly handed him a slice knife which glead under the lights with a sharpness that was palpable.
At this ti, two more people from Su Xuan’s group stepped forward and seized Li Xiaosan.
“No, please, Brother Biao, I know I was wrong, I’ll work like an ox or horse to repay you!”
“You’re a weathervane that changes with the wind.
Maybe I was a fool for trusting you the first ti, but if I get fooled twice, then I really deserve to die!”
“Every injustice has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor!”
With a burst of strength in his arm, Biao thrust the Slice knife straight into Li Xiaosan’s body.
Blood sprayed, and in no ti at all, Li Xiaosan lay in a pool of blood, gasping for breath.
“A life for a life.
If you’re dead, it’s on ; if not, you’re one lucky bastard!” Biao glanced at Li Xiaosan lying on the ground, spat, and said indifferently.
Su Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
When Biao stabbed Li Xiaosan, there was no hesitation or dragging his feet—his resolute character impressed Su Xuan.
Thus, Biao also elevated his own status in Su Xuan’s eyes and made it onto the list of subordinates Su Xuan considered worth cultivating.
Out in the jianghu, loyalty is paramount.
This was Su Xuan’s epiphany as he started to achieve so success in Yanjing.
Biao walked back and stood behind Su Xuan, saying nothing.
Su Xuan stepped forward.
After two consecutive shows of force, he believed nearly everyone from Phantom Night Casino was subdued.
Now, it was ti to win hearts.
“Everyone, you only have two choices before you, leave or follow !
Whatever you choose, I, Su Xuan, won’t force you.
Those who stay are my brothers.
If I have a day of glory, you will share in it too!”
Su Xuan’s voice echoed.
It resonated within the room and in the ears of the underlings from Phantom Night Casino, and it also echoed in their hearts.
Everyone pondered, chose, whispered to each other, or quietly conferred!
“Haven’t you made your choice yet?
With such a boss, why not follow him?
Would you really sell your lives for Hei, who is already a cripple?” Ming also stood out and spoke up.
Many from the three casinos knew each other; among the brothers from Phantom Night Casino, there were those who knew Ming.
Ming was the boss of the first casino.
With his own example, Ming’s stance was crystal clear.
“We follow Brother Su!”
“We follow Brother Su!”
“Willing to be the vanguard for Brother Su!”
…
One by one, voices shouted from their mouths.
Even if it was only a slogan, it was also a choice.
No one backed out, all chose to follow Su Xuan.
Then, Azure Dragon arranged for soone to take over Hei’s duties before leaving Phantom Night Casino.
Ming returned to the casino he was in charge of to straighten things out, guarding against any trouble from South Tiger Hall.
After leaving Su Xuan, Biao went back to the hospital to continue his discharge, having sneaked out secretly.
If the doctor found out, he’d nag in Biao’s ear so much that Biao would have thoughts of death.
Overnight, the Boss Casino was swept clean by Su Xuan’s overwhelming force, directly subdued, and the number of n under his command expanded from thirty or forty to over a hundred in an instant.
Su Xuan had a preliminary plan in his heart: to develop Fang Shiyu’s gemstone company openly, as well as Biao’s Hongtai Hotel and secretly to sweep through the casinos, exploiting his special abilities to dominate the entire gambling scene.
Su Xuan believed that it wouldn’t take long for him to gain a foothold in Rongcheng City, and then to vie for power.
The Black Wolf Gang, the Southern District, and the enemies who frad him—all accounts would be settled cleanly.
In the Audi car, Su Xuan sat in the back seat.
“Azure Dragon, roughly how much money do we have on hand?” Su Xuan asked, as Azure Dragon had unwittingly beco the steward of finances by his side.
“Brother Su, including the ten million you got from the Gao Family yesterday, plus the more than twenty million from the three casinos and the ten million from Heavenly King Covering Earth Tiger Nightclub, we have a total of over forty million.
After investing over five million in Fang Shiyu and the usual expenses, we have about thirty million on hand!”
Azure Dragon reported a rough estimate, calculating in his mind and growing more astonished as he realized how in just a few days under Su Xuan, he had unknowingly amassed thirty to forty million—a sum that would have taken him ten years to earn before.
“You’ve got a hotel under you, have just established the Fang Shiyu Gemstone and Jewelry Company, and now you’ve taken over three casinos, which are openly nightclubs.
It seems we really need to plan well and form a corporation, so our money can continue to grow!”
“With more and more money, we’ll be able to do whatever we want!” Su Xuan’s voice echoed inside the Audi car.
Hearing this, Azure Dragon, the driver, also felt it made a lot of sense.
“You’re right, Brother Su.
Our businesses are gradually increasing, and we need to take control of the whole situation!” Azure Dragon remarked.
“Exactly, forming a company is now imperative.
You should use your connections to start drafting a business plan.
Once it’s nearly complete, we’ll set up the company!” Su Xuan’s voice was full of confidence.
Driving the Audi, it didn’t take long to return to Hongtai Hotel.
Fang Junhong found a room and went to sleep.
