"Brother Ximen, our two families are allies. Among the four great families, our two families have the best relationship. I'm here today to tell you that this Lu Fan is not someone to be trifled with. Even our steward, Elder Qu, was defeated by him."
Seeing that Simon had thrown the cup he had just put down on the ground, he suppressed his anger.
Then he continued to speak to him in a gentle and kind manner.
"What? Even your family's Elder Qu has fallen? No wonder you came here."
This member of the Ximen family is the second son of the Ximen family head. Although he cannot inherit the Ximen family's business, he will be a pillar of the Ximen family in the future, which is why such an important place as the club was entrusted to him.
After arriving at the club, they were cut off from the outside world and had not heard anything about the Dongfang family. They were quite surprised to see Dongfang Shuo here.
Previously, it was always Elder Qu who came to explain things. Hearing that Elder Qu had passed away, they understood why Dongfang Shuo had come, but they were still very surprised.
He had met Elder Qu before. Even though his father was the head of the Ximen family, he didn't want to go against someone like Elder Qu. It wasn't because he was afraid of him, but because the other man was very cunning.
"That doesn't make sense! Even if we can't afford to offend him, we can just let him leave. There's no need to settle the score, is there?"
But as he listened, Ximen Lao Er sensed something was amiss, and then looked at Dongfang Shuo with a suspicious gaze and asked.
“Brother Ximen, I’ve dealt with Lu Fan a lot. If we don’t back down this time, the club we’ve worked so hard to build will be ruined in your Ximen family’s hands. We also have shares here, so I don’t want to see that happen. Besides, isn’t your Second Young Master Ximen also making some underhanded moves?”
Hearing that Ximen, who was sitting opposite him, was still thinking about money, Dongfang Shuo looked down on him.
However, the two families are still good friends. Because of Elder Qu, the Dongfang family's strength has reached the bottom among the four major families, and at this time, they cannot make more enemies.
What did you mean by your last sentence?
After hearing what was said earlier, Ximen frowned. Although the Ximen family was not afraid of Lu Fan, they did not want to cause trouble for him. However, they were shocked by Dongfang Shuo's last sentence.
But on the surface, he remained very calm and asked Dongfang Shuo.
"That croupier, Ah Dong, you must not get along with him, right?"
He kept watching the monitor screen and had also looked into the internal relationships of the club before coming. He knew that the dealer who argued with Lu Fan was from the Ximen family.
Moreover, all the participants in today's event were employees of the Ximen family. Most importantly, A-Dong had saved the life of the Ximen family head. Yet, when such a person got into trouble, the second son of the Ximen family remained indifferent, acting as if he were watching a show.
"I didn't expect you to see through it. I'm not afraid to tell you, this dealer, Ah Dong, is taking advantage of the fact that he saved my father. He's even daring to yell at me now, and he's becoming more and more disobedient. After all, Ah Dong saved my father's life, and everyone knows that. If I were to attack him without a reason, it would inevitably discourage others. This whole setup was deliberately created by me."
Ximen Lao Er turned on another monitor, which showed the person who had been taken away, A Dong. He watched A Dong on the screen and saw him talking to Dongfang Shuo.
When Dongfang Shuo saw what was happening on the monitor, he was also surprised. In the video, A Dong was covered in blood. He then looked at Ximen Lao Er, who was expressionless, and realized that he hadn't taken him seriously at all.
They initially thought he was just an unimportant second young master and didn't take him seriously, but seeing his abilities, they couldn't help but start to take him seriously.
If the Ximen family alone is full of hidden talents, then the other two families might also be unaware of their abilities. Even the usually arrogant Dongfang Shuo began to take things seriously.
To make the Dongfang family the head of the four major families, relying solely on their own strength is far from enough.
"Ximen Yu, you bastard! I'm going to report you to the head of the family for what happened today!"
Inside the room, Ah Dong, covered in blood from the beating, stared wide-eyed at the security camera on the wall in front of him. He realized something was wrong and angrily yelled at the camera.
"What? You clearly made a mistake in this matter, so it must be handled according to the rules. What do you want to accuse me of by going to my patriarch?"
Ximen Yu picked up a microphone, looked at A Dong who was shouting on the monitor, and asked him without any expression.
"You're the one who did what happened today, aren't you? You deliberately let that woman come to my card table to gamble! So you could lure me into breaking the rules and take this opportunity to get rid of me, the one who doesn't listen to you, right?"
Before the dice were even opened, I was suddenly taken away by security. I didn't even have a chance to react. Once I got here, they started fighting without saying a word.
Then he realized something was wrong and shared his analysis with Ximen Yu.
"Think what you want, but I hope you can be more low-key in your next life and not be so arrogant."
Simon Yu neither confirmed nor denied it; he simply took the microphone and spoke calmly before turning off the monitor.
The moment the monitor was turned off, Dongfang Shuo noticed a man walking toward the croupier with a knife, and Ximen Yu's words came to mind.
The phrase "next life" made it clear what would happen to that croupier.
Knock knock knock!
"Boss, here is the dice cup you ordered."
