The members of the Poison Snake Organization were overjoyed, thinking the Seven-inch Snake was dead, only to find out he was still alive. Of course, whether that joy was genuine is unknown, because the rule in the Poison Snake Organization is that the strong are revered. If the Seven-inch Snake dies, the person with the strongest Cultivation steps up to directly become the new leader.

Black Snake and others are among the strongest aside from the Seven-inch Snake. They've been eyeing the leader's position for some time.

Qin Yi thought their happiness was fake. If they were really happy, they would have rushed over to dig the Seven-inch Snake out of the rubble.

However, the Seven-inch Snake emerged alive but looked pitiful. His clothes were in tatters, his hair was disheveled, and he was covered in bloodstains. One of his arms hung limply, broken by Qin Yi's kick. He looked worse than a beggar.

He spat out a mouthful of bloody foam, glaring coldly at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi commented indifferently, "Do you wish to die?"

The Seven-inch Snake didn't think twice and straightforwardly replied, "I don't."

"Then stop looking at me like that, or I might kill you."

"Alright." The Seven-inch Snake replied very promptly.

Everyone was stunned, this fellow was really quite perceptive.

Qin Yi said indifferently, "Since we can't cooperate, I bid farewell."

"Young Master Qin, please wait." An elder stopped Qin Yi and then turned to the Seven-inch Snake, "Leader, I think this deal should be made. Such a large sum, if not earned by us, would just benefit the Soul Chasing Mercenary Group and Blood Killing Tower."

The Seven-inch Snake grabbed his broken left arm and with a pull and twist, made a crunching sound as the broken bone reconnected.

Everyone shuddered inside, this guy is really ruthless to himself. Bone rejoining looked painful, yet there wasn't a hint of pain on his face.

Falling from mid-air, the Seven-inch Snake looked at the elder who spoke and said, "Are you truly foolish or pretending to be foolish? Agreeing to such a flawed cooperation, I guarantee you'll be deceived by him."

Qin Yi felt a jolt, exchanging a surprised glance with Yun Mengyao. The Seven-inch Snake looks like a lunatic, could it be he's simply different from ordinary people and saw through their plan?

Qin Yi asked indifferently, "What do you mean by that?"

The Seven-inch Snake looked at Qin Yi, "Qin Yi, I admit your Cultivation is strong, capable of challenging the Sin Tower. But why team up with you to open a gambling scheme? We can completely do it ourselves. You challenge the Sin Tower, we'll open our own gambling scheme, and all the winnings will be ours. Why cooperate with you?"

Everyone was stunned, it does seem reasonable. Qin Yi's challenge to the Sin Tower was his affair, and the Poison Snake Organization could fully rely on themselves to earn from the gambling scheme, why cooperate and split profits with Qin Yi?

Even Xiao Jian and others felt the logic in Seven-inch Snake's words. They hadn't thought about it, the opponent could completely earn the money themselves, there was no need to cooperate.

Qin Yi sneered, "Without me, your gambling scheme will definitely cause losses."

Seven-inch Snake sneered, "Qin Yi, you've already made it clear, you'll challenge the Sin Tower in three days. Today has already passed, are you thinking of being a coward and not showing up? If that's true, you'll utterly become the laughingstock of the entire Southern Middle State."

"When Qin speaks, he keeps his word."

Seven-inch Snake replied, "That makes it easier. I already assessed your strength, you have the ability to challenge the Sin Tower. Plus, I can sense earlier, you didn't use your full strength against me. I guess you have cards not yet played. So, your chances of winning are high. Given this, I can confidently open the gambling scheme and earn money, making cooperation with you unnecessary."

Qin Yi's gaze slightly darkened, sneering, "I'm indeed going to challenge the Sin Tower, but victory or defeat lies in my hands. If I lose, your Poison Snake Organization will lose everything, can you afford this risk?"

"You won't lose; you'll give it your all." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Oh?" Qin Yi looked at him with interest, "Why do you say so?"

Seven-inch Snake confidently said, "You should know, everyone in Sin City wants to kill you. If you win, due to your power, they wouldn't dare provoke you again. But if you lose, they'll constantly come after you. I assure you, you won't even get a good sleep, walking would be nerve-wracking, because one misstep, and you're dead."

"Do you think they have the capability to kill me?"

"Certainly not. But they don't know that, so they'll try all means to kill you. You'll be perpetually troubled. Even a lion naps, one careless moment, you might end up dead."

Qin Yi nodded slightly, "There's some logic in what you say. But there's one thing you overlooked."

"What is it?"

"You forgot my choices are vast. I can completely collaborate with either the Blood Killing Tower or the Soul Chasing Mercenary Group."

Seven-inch Snake sneered, "They won't partner with you. I can see it, they can too. Because all this money can be earned by one person; there's simply no need to share it with you."

Qin Yi suddenly laughed, "You might be ugly, but you aren't dumb, you're much smarter than I expected."

Seven-inch Snake glared coldly; he hated being called ugly.

Qin Yi said indifferently, "You might be smart but not skilled in business. What's the most important in business? Information and resources. As long as you have these, you'll be a step ahead, and the rest can only sip on soup."

"What do you mean?"

Qin Yi sneered, "If you want to earn this money alone, fine by me. I'll spread word about how you were completely beaten by me. I'm sure based on that, many can infer I have the strength to challenge the Sin Tower. Then, I'll spread the news that your Poison Snake Organization intends to cash in on this situation. What do you think the major and minor forces of Sin City will do then?"

Seven-inch Snake's face became somber, "They'll emulate and open their own gambling schemes, and then nobody will earn significant money."

"Exactly." Qin Yi said with a smile, "Now I hold the information, you hold the resources. If we cooperate, it's a win-win situation. If not, no problem, then nobody earns from this."

The Seven-inch Snake spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, "Qin Yi, you're truly insidious."

"As are you." Qin Yi said indifferently, "You want it all for yourself, I'll ensure you get nothing. Only by cooperating with me can you earn abundantly."

Seven-inch Snake pondered for a moment, "Give me ten minutes; I'll give you an answer."

"Alright, just ten minutes. After exceeding ten minutes, we'll leave immediately."

Seven-inch Snake snorted coldly, calling Black Snake and others to a distance, starting a small meeting.

Yun Mengyao curiously asked, "Qin Yi, will the cooperation be successful?"

Qin Yi chuckled, "Definitely. Next comes the bargaining."
