Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Dare to Bet Again, Chop Off Both His Hands

The Qiao Family Master’s complexion grew even uglier. He took a deep breath and glanced over at the fierce and cold-blooded Bloody Beard and his men.

"It’s only proper to offer some tea money to the esteemed members of the Blood Sword Gang for their visit! I’ll add another 500 taels of silver!" The Qiao Family Master truly wished he could strike his son Qiao Sheng dead.

Not only did he owe a colossal amount of Huge Silver, but he also brought such huge trouble upon them.

"Gang Leader Hu, it seems the appearance fee of your gang is quite cheap! Even when you personally come out, they only offer 500 taels as tea money!" Chu Feng said sarcastically, without even looking at the 500 taels silver note offered by the Qiao Family Master.

Thinking that a mere 500 taels would get rid of him? Naive!

"One, one thousand taels!" The Qiao Family Master’s forehead was sweating, these dreadful stars were not so easily dismissed.

"Unsatisfactory! I don’t have the time to beat around the bush, let’s get straight to the point! Ten thousand taels principal, ten thousand taels interest, and ten thousand taels for the Blood Sword Gang’s troubles, totaling thirty thousand taels!"

Chu Feng’s face was cold with a smirk, he had already told Qiao Sheng that if he defaulted on the debt and Chu Feng had to come to collect it personally, it would not be just ten thousand taels anymore.

Qiao Sheng, who was kneeling on the ground, went pale and nearly fainted when he heard Chu Feng announce the sum of thirty thousand taels.

From the time he made the bet with Chu Feng until now, it had only been about three or four days in total.

Chu Feng was now demanding thirty thousand taels from him, three times more than the principal.

About five thousand taels of silver a day in interest.

This was practically robbery.

"You, you actually dare to demand thirty thousand... No one’s money comes easy. My Qiao Family may not be as powerful as the Han Family, but we will not be easily manipulated."

The Qiao Family Master trembled with rage, his beard quivering.

The Qiao Family not bullying others was already considerate; now they were being bullied at their own doorstep. Moreover, the aggressor was none other than the utterly ruined Third Prince of the Sword King Mansion.

"Young man, I advise you to quit while you’re ahead! Be careful that playing with fire might end up burning yourself!"

"If you know what’s good for you, take this eleven thousand taels of silver and leave. In the future, if you’re in trouble and think about asking for help from our Qiao Family, we might consider it! Right now, your Senior Brother is in a dire situation, hehehe!"

The Qiao Family Master continued to sneer coldly, deliberately mentioning Chu Jianlan’s situation.

However, he did not promise any help, instead making it sound very vague. This sounded somewhat threatening.

Chu Feng’s brow raised, the edge of the young man fully revealed in this moment.

"Playing with fire, I’m the ancestor of it. I only burn others, never myself."

"As for using my Senior Brother’s situation to threaten me, taking it as a negotiating chip, I advise you to save your energy! Last time my second sister had a mishap in her cultivation, needing an item to Suppress Sword Qi, did your Qiao Family agree to lend one?"

"Thirty thousand taels of silver, not a penny less! If it’s not given today, an additional ten thousand taels in interest will be charged daily, I say what I can do, and I do what I say!"

Chu Feng was not raised in fear, and he fired back decisively.

As long as the Qiao Family dared to play tough with him, he was ready to strike.

A mere Qiao Family, he truly did not hold in high regard. Just with the power currently under Chu Feng’s control, he could easily crush the Qiao Family.

The Blood Sword Gang, the Han Family, each one stronger than the Qiao Family.

"Thump!"

Unable to withstand such a scare, Qiao Sheng’s heart gave out, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted right then and there.

Back in the days at Alchemy Academy, when he didn’t settle his debt and Chu Feng harshly warned him, he thought Chu Feng was just bluffing. Now, having witnessed Chu Feng’s power and ruthlessness firsthand, he took Chu Feng’s words as a Holy Decree.

He believed that if Chu Feng said he could do it, he could do it.

If the Qiao Family Master doesn’t agree, the price the Qiao Family has to pay will be extremely dire.

"My son!" The Qiao Family Master, seeing his son being scared faint by Chu Feng’s mere words, cried out in grief and hurried to resuscitate him by pinching his philtrum. The rest of the Qiao Family was also plunged into chaos.

But no one dared to trouble Chu Feng anymore.

"I don’t have time to watch you rescuing Qiao Sheng, this coward! In a word, when will the silver be repaid?" Chu Feng spoke with a cold face.

He did not care anymore; the rule had been made clear, the Qiao Family would be charged an extra ten thousand taels for each day they delayed.

This was even more profitable than a usurious loan.

Seeing that he couldn’t stall any longer, the Qiao Family Master, after waking Qiao Sheng, had someone take Qiao Sheng inside to rest.

He stood up, looked at Bloody Beard and said, "Hu Gang Leader, as long as you agree not to interfere in this matter, my Qiao Family is willing to give you ten thousand silver taels!" The Qiao Family Master was indeed making a cunning calculation.

Spend ten thousand silver taels to resolve Bloody Beard, and if only Chu Feng is left, the Qiao Family can manipulate him as they wish.

"F*ck that, do you think I am that kind of person who only sees money, without any integrity, and shameless? Thieves have their code; Chu Feng invited me to collect debts, then Blood Sword Gang will take it to the end."

"I advise you, hurry up and clear the debt. Otherwise, for this mere gambling debt of ten thousand silver taels, it’s not worth it for the Qiao Family to be ruined!"

Bloody Beard rolled his menacing eyes, exuding a fierce aura.

The Qiao Family Master felt his Qi-Blood roiling and nearly passed out from anger. He knew very well what kind of person Bloody Beard was.

Recognizing money but not faces, a shameless double-dealer, a thug leader.

Since when did he speak of principles?

At this moment, he was absurdly talking about honoring integrity and rules, just as ridiculous as a prostitute clamoring to remain chaste.

The Qiao Family Master, suspicious and paranoid, began to reassess Chu Feng, wondering what divine skills this waste from Sword King Mansion had employed? How could he have made Bloody Beard, such a thug leader, so fiercely loyal to him.

He even suspected that the debt of ten thousand silver taels was not caused by Chu Feng at all.

All of this, was just Bloody Beard manipulating behind the scenes.

Just using Chu Feng as a scapegoat to legitimately plunder the Qiao Family’s wealth.

"Damn it! It seems impossible to resolve peacefully today, the thugs of Blood Sword Gang are not easy to provoke." After an intense internal struggle, the Qiao Family Master had no choice but to grit his teeth and took out thirty thousand silver notes to compensate Chu Feng.

It was because he knew to read the situation; otherwise, the Qiao Family would only suffer more.

"Tell your son, if he wants to win back what he lost, feel free to come and gamble with me again!" Chu Feng’s words made the Qiao Family Master’s heart pound with fear.

This thirty thousand silver taels had already drained his reserves. Having Qiao Sheng gamble with Chu Feng again? He couldn’t afford to lose his life over this!

"Keep a close watch on the young master. If he dares to gamble again, I will chop his hands off!" The Qiao Family Master glared darkly, roaring at his underlings. Frightened, Qiao Sheng, hiding inside, almost fainted again.

Chu Feng, with the thirty thousand silver taels in hand, left magnificently.

"This thousand silver taels is your hard-earned money!" Chu Feng pulled out a silver banknote and handed it to Bloody Beard.

"To do such a small favor for the descendant of my benefactor... I can’t accept the reward... No, no!" Bloody Beard refused. He wouldn’t dare to accept Chu Feng’s money even if he had the guts to.

Because his hidden identity was that of Chu Feng’s servant.
