Chapter 921 - 921 Mr. Ye From Yang Cheng?
921 Mr. Ye From Yang Cheng?
Everyone present knew very well how terrifying the Hong family’s influence in the casino was. As the head of the Hong family, Hong Xiaotian was a legendary figure of his generation.
It was no exaggeration to say that if he moved his foot, the entire casino would tremble.
How could such a big shot speak to a young man in such a submissive manner?
However, they could understand. After all, the life of the Hong family’s number one genius, Hong Jiajun, was in the hands of others. It was inevitable that they would be cautious.
Ye Feng’s emotions calmed down a little. “I don’t want money, and I don’t want to be friends with you. I just want him to fulfill his promise and withdraw from the Gambling King Tournament.”
Everyone was even more shocked now. They did not expect him to reject such a generous condition without hesitation.
100 million in compensation and the opportunity to befriend the Hong family, how many people would not even dare to dream of this?
And he actually refused!
Just to force Hong Jiajun to withdraw from the competition?
Hong Xiaotian frowned again. “Little brother, are you sent by another family? Otherwise, I don’t understand why you insisted on letting Jiajun withdraw from the competition.”
If Hong Jiajun withdrew from the competition, other than causing a huge loss to the Hong family, it would not bring any benefits to the other party.
However, the other party actually did not want the compensation of more than 100 million yuan and still chose to do so. He could only suspect that it was someone sent by another competitor.
Ye Feng sneered. “You don’t have to worry about it. You only need to answer, yes or no?”
“Little brother, you already have the strength to defeat Jiajun at such a young age. Why do you need to risk your life for others?”
Hong Xiaotian still did not answer directly. “How about this? When you come to my Hong family to work, you only need to put on a name in the casino. You won’t be restricted in any way during normal times. I’ll give you an annual… How about an annual salary of 20 million?”
As soon as he said this, everyone present widened their eyes in shock.
An annual salary of 20 million? This was simply a huge pie.
Although Hong Xiaotian said that he needed to intervene when the casino was in danger, the Royal Palace Casino was backed by the Hong family. Who would dare to cause trouble normally?
In other words, this 20 million was basically for nothing. It was just a name.
Even seniors like them, who had been famous in the gambling world for a long time, probably had an annual salary of less than 10 million.
And this young man had not even debuted yet, but he could already receive twice the treatment they received.
It had to be said that Hong Xiaotian’s suggestion was too sincere.
But when Ye Feng heard this, he smiled disdainfully: “20 million annual salary and you want me to be a dog? Aren’t you underestimating me too much?”
He naturally saw through the old fox’s plan.
With just 20 million, this crisis could be resolved. Hong Jiajun could continue to participate in the competition, and at the same time, he would indirectly eliminate a potential competitor.
After all, if he chose to be ‘loyal’ to the Hong family and become a dog for the Hong family, he would have to prioritize the interests of the family.
The Hong family would definitely not allow him to participate in the Gambling King Tournament and compete with Hong Jiajun for the title of ‘Gambling King’.
No matter how one looked at it, this deal was very cost-effective.
If he was just a simple gambler, he might not be able to resist the temptation of 20 million and agree to the other party’s recruitment.
But who was he? He was a billionaire! It was the famous Mr. Ye from Zhonghai and Yang Cheng.
A mere 20 million and he wanted him to pledge loyalty? Haha!
Hong Xiaotian’s expression darkened again when he heard his rejection. “Kid, I’m already very sincere to you. Don’t be ungrateful. Do you know how many people want to be my Hong family’s dogs, but they’re not qualified?”
Ye Feng immediately laughed coldly. “Then let others compete for this qualification, I still like to be a human, not a dog.”
Hong Xiaotian’s eyes flashed with killing intent. “I’ll give you one last chance. Release him immediately. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Ye Feng’s pistol was pointed at Hong Jiajun’s head. “If you have the guts, try it, see if I dare to blow his head up.”
Hong Xiaotian was completely enraged. “Then kill him. I guarantee that you won’t be able to walk out of the Royal Palace Casino alive.”
After saying that, he immediately waved his hand at his subordinates. “Attack!”
Those subordinates took out their guns from their clothes and pointed them at Ye Feng.
Cheng Fei’er did not hold back anymore. She took out a gun from her bag and stood with Ye Feng, confronting these people.
The others in the room were already trembling in fear.
They did not expect that the matter would actually reach such a stage where one had to die.
They were all blaming Ye Feng in their hearts.
Why was this guy so stubborn?
Hong Xiaotian has already shown his goodwill. You should just accept it honestly. Why must you be stubborn?
Challenging the Hong family usually did not have a good ending.
Once the conflict broke out, Hong Jiajun might die, but the two of them had no chance of surviving under so many pistols.
A bloody gunfight was inevitable.
At this critical moment, Hong Xiaotian’s phone suddenly rang.
He slowly retracted his sharp gaze and lowered his head to look at the caller ID. His expression immediately changed and he hurriedly picked up the phone.
He did not know what the other party said, he immediately turned to look at Ye Feng. His eyes were filled with surprise at first, then confusion, shock, fear, and finally, his face turned pale.
Everyone quietly watched his ‘change in expression.’ With such precise control of emotions, it wouldn’t be too much to win the Best Actor Award, right?
At the same time, everyone was curious. Who was the person on the other end of the phone? What did they say to him?
He could actually make the Hong family head, who ruled over the entire casino, change his mood so drastically?
After Hong Xiaotian hung up the phone, he calmed himself down, then he cupped his hands at Ye Feng. “So it’s Mr. Ye from Yang Cheng. I’m sorry!”
As soon as he said this, everyone present was shocked.
What was going on?
Just now, they were still at loggerheads. Why did they suddenly disappear like smoke?
Wasn’t the change of direction too fast?
Mr. Ye of Yang Cheng?
Was it very awesome?
