Chapter 1333: The Big Deal
"What, you want to kill me but won't even let me have my last meal? Isn't that too cruel?"
Qin Yi said, picking up his chopsticks and starting to eat.
Poison Snake looked at Qin Yi coldly, but didn't stop him. Indeed, in his view, eating a hearty meal before dying was warranted.
Qin Yi's chopsticks moved swiftly, and Yun Mengyao was not far behind. But Xiao Jian and the others couldn't bring themselves to eat, with so many people staring at them, especially when these people were here to kill. No matter how resolute their hearts, it's hard to calmly eat in such a situation.
They admired Qin Yi and Yun Mengyao immensely, to be able to enjoy their food at such a time.
Qin Yi looked up, noticing everyone staring at him, and said curiously, "Sure, I'm pleasing to the eye, but that's just a metaphor. Even if I'm as charming as I am, looking at me won't fill you up. Get moving with the chopsticks." ππ³π¦ππ€ππ£π―β΄π·π¦π.πππ
The crowd smiled bitterly; they couldn't eat at all.
Qin Yi didn't care about them and continued to relish his meal with Yun Mengyao.
When the meal was almost done, Qin Yi looked up and greeted Poison Snake, "Want to join in? I still have some good wine here, we can have a drink."
Poison Snake sneered, "Have you had enough?"
Qin Yi nodded, "Almost there."
"After eating your fill, it's time to go on your way, right?"
Qin Yi paused slightly, grinning, "Have you ever done business?"
Poison Snake looked at him puzzled.
Qin Yi stood up and walked over to stand a few meters in front of Poison Snake, smiling, "Judging by your look, you haven't done business, but you should know how to count, right?"
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Poison Snake's eyes flashed with killing intent, "Qin Yi, you know full well that everyone in Sin City wants you dead. Even if we don't kill you, you'll die at someone's hands. I advise you not to struggle for life meaninglessly."
"I know." Qin Yi smiled brightly, "Let me ask you then, which is more: a few billion Gold Coins or five million Gold Coins?"
Poison Snake looked at him coldly, not speaking. Anyone would know which is more; answering would insult his intelligence.
Qin Yi said, "That's right, any fool knows a few billion Gold Coins are more. So, may I ask why you would give up a few billion, even tens of billions of Gold Coins, and fixate solely on five million Gold Coins? Aren't you more foolish than a fool?"
Poison Snake's eyes were icy, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Qin Yi replied indifferently, "Talking to you is pointless; I want to see your Poison Snake Organization's leader."
Poison Snake sneered dismissively, "You think you can just see our leader whenever you want?"
"Well, you should think it over clearly, this is a big deal worth billions or even dozens of billions, perhaps more. If you have the power to decide, I can discuss it in detail with you. If you can't decide, take me to see your leader.
After all, with me in your hand, I can't run. Taking me to see your leader won't change anything. If your leader disagrees, you can kill me immediately; at most, I just live a few minutes longer, which causes you no loss at all."
After Qin Yi finished speaking, he paused and continued, "Think it over, this is worth billions of Gold Coins, or even more."
Poison Snake stared at Qin Yi, his gaze flickering slightly. If because of him they really lost such a huge amount of Gold Coins, the leader certainly wouldn't spare him lightly. But he didn't trust Qin Yi, suspecting it's just a stalling tactic.
"Tell me what the deal is first, then I can know if I'm able to decide."
Qin Yi thought for a moment, "No problem in telling you. The deal is gambling, and it's a sure-fire bet."
"How do you gamble?"
"By setting up a casino, under the pretext of me challenging the Sin Tower. I suppose everyone looks forward to this challenge, right? I think many people will place bets; at least one or two billion people live in Sin City, don't they? Taking away half, the remaining half willing to bet, everyone betting one Gold Coin, that's one billion Gold Coins.
But everyone really just betting one Gold Coin? Certainly impossible. They want to earn more, so they'll bet more. Think about it, each person betting ten Gold Coins, that's ten billion Gold Coins."
Poison Snake was dumbfounded, ten billion Gold Coins, such an astronomical figure stunned them, unable to react for a moment.
After a long while, Poison Snake looked at Qin Yi with ridicule in his eyes, "Qin Yi, you are treating us like idiots, aren't you? Now I can very confidently tell you, I reject this deal, no need for the leader's decision. Because even if he knew, he'd refuse it."
Qin Yi asked curiously, "Why's that? Since when did your Poison Snake Organization start treating money like dirt?"
"Qin Yi, are you dreaming? Challenge Sin Tower, everyone knows you're doomed to die. If we set up a casino, I'm certain not a single person would bet on you winning. At that point, they all bet on Sin Tower, even with one-to-two odds, could bankrupt our Poison Snake Organization. Your mind sure is insidious and vicious. But let me tell you, don't engage in such petty tricks, lest you become a laughing stock."
Poison Snake sneered disdainfully, "Before meeting you, I thought that anyone who could take down a Branch of the Sword Sect was at least a formidable figure. But now it seems you're just a fool. I don't even know how someone like you took down the Sword Sect Branch, I even suspect, you might not be Qin Yi at all."
Qin Yi laughed coldly, "Think you're so smart?"
"At least smarter than you."
Qin Yi looked at him with contempt, "But in my eyes, you're the fool. Such a glaring flaw, even a fool like you can spot it; don't you wonder why I'd mention it?"
Poison Snake's face turned completely cold.
Qin Yi continued, "Everyone thinks my challenge to Sin Tower will fail, but what if I succeed? If I win, have you thought about how much money this could earn?"
Poison Snake sneered coldly, "Surely you must be dreaming?"
"Your words exactly prove my point; this deal can absolutely be made."
"What do you mean?" Poison Snake asked.
Qin Yi suddenly flashed a cold look in his eyes and his figure flickered, directly soaring into the air.
Poison Snake thought Qin Yi was escaping and roared furiously, "Where are you running off to?"
Who would have thought, Qin Yi stopped mid-air, raising his hand, the surroundings within a few hundred meters transformed into an absolute space, air rolling, twisting, and crackling with explosions. As Qin Yi pressed his hand down violently, the terrifying pressure and gravity descended like a tilted galaxy.
Poison Snake and his men, barely a few meters off the ground, were directly smashed down by the dreadful pressure and gravity, their faces pale and filled with despair as if at a funeral.
Qin Yi's palm pressed down forcefully again.
The air within a few hundred meters felt like a solid mountain, pressing down on Poison Snake and his men.
Poison Snake and his men were overwhelmed by the terrifying pressure, their Qi and blood surging, unable to straighten their backs.
Qin Yi's palm shook fiercely once more.
"Puff, puff...!"
Poison Snake and his men found their legs driven into the ground under the crushing pressure and weight.
