The School Beauty's Super Rogue-Chapter 786 - 783: A Willing Loser

"I lost..."

Qi Renjie lowered his head deeply, his tone filled with desolation.

Just before, he was arrogant and wild, but at this moment, he was as honest as a child who had done something wrong.

Seeing this scene, Qin Hao found it amusing: "You’re not planning to break your promise?"

"Break my promise?"

Qi Renjie raised his head, his face full of anger: "Night Emperor, even if you won, there’s no need to humiliate me! I, Qi Renjie, keep my word and will never break a promise!"

Qin Hao’s opinion of Qi Renjie rose a notch in his heart, but he kept a faint smile on his face: "Then, according to our earlier bet, you’re already my subordinate..."

"That’s right!"

Qi Renjie interrupted, gritting his teeth.

He came initially with hopes of achieving something, but now his goal was unfulfilled, and he had instead become a subordinate to his family’s enemy, which felt really unpleasant.

The matter was nearly settled, and the following affairs were not suitable for outsiders to know, so Qin Hao glanced at Tom.

Tom took the hint and loudly shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, the casino is temporarily closed, please come back tonight."

"What! A play this good, and we can’t watch until the end!"

The gamblers were very dissatisfied, wanting to stay and see how things would develop.

Although they didn’t know what "Night Emperor" and Qi Renjie were talking about.

They still very much wanted to continue watching what would happen next.

Finally, under Tom’s friendly urging, the customers reluctantly left.

"Hao, I have taken care of everything!"

Tom’s voice was loud, and his expression carried a flattering look, returning to his usual spirited demeanor.

Qin Hao, however, had no particular thoughts and just said, "You should also go out, take everyone with you."

Tom’s face looked a bit confused: "Hao? Even I have to go out?"

"Hmm."

Qin Hao’s expression was a mix of a smile and something else.

"So sad, I’m not even Hao’s trusted one."

Tom said in a feigned dejected manner, leading the Thunder God Squad and Bi Jian Country out.

"Ah Mao."

Qin Hao’s voice called, and from the corner, Ah Mao was at a loss for words: "Hey, we’re on the same side, you don’t even trust me?"

As a spy, he instinctively wanted to stay and gather information.

However, Qin Hao had no intention of letting him do so, calmly saying, "You haven’t earned my full trust yet, so—"

The rest of the sentence was unnecessary, and Ah Mao could only leave, feeling undesired, hanging his head in frustration.

Once the outsiders left, Qin Hao could finally have a proper conversation.

With a cruel smile on his face, he said to Qi Renjie: "If I were to ask you to kill the Qi Family members, would you do it?"

"I..."

Qi Renjie’s face showed a conflicted expression, finally tearing up with pain as he shouted: "Even if I don’t like the family, they’re still my relatives. I can’t do it myself."

"But you could ask someone else to do it?"

Qin Hao sensed something unusual.

Qi Renjie didn’t answer this question, clenching his fists: "However, there is a group of people who are an exception; I can deal with them personally!"

Qin Hao was puzzled and was about to ask when Qi Renjie, gritting his teeth, added: "I have long resented those old bastards. If not for them, my mother wouldn’t have died unjustly!"

"The old bastards must be those in power in the Qi Family."

"Tell me your story."

Qin Hao’s curiosity was piqued, and he instructed him in a directive tone.

Qi Renjie bit his teeth but still told the story.

After hearing his narrative, Qin Hao was amazed, realizing that these so-called Ancient Martial Families still adhered to feudal family concepts.

Polygamy was one such outdated rule.

Qi Renjie’s father, Qi Tiandun—the current Patriarch of the Qi Family—had once been enamored with beauty, and during an outing, he captured a worldly dancer.

After the dancer became pregnant and gave birth to Qi Renjie, she was shunned by the family’s authorities due to her previously dissolute behavior.

According to the rules set by the family, Qi Tiandun was destined to inherit the position of Patriarch and was expected to keep himself clean.

His women were included in this.

Thus, those in power began devising ways to drive the dancer away.

The dancer had already arrived in the Qi Family; if she were cast back into the world, she might leak family secrets.

So, in the end, they used some kind of poison to kill the dancer.

This story was a scandal and did not circulate within the family.

Qi Renjie only pieced it together after leaving the family, relying on various bits of information.

"Given how much you despise those old bastards, why do you still try to please them?"

Qin Hao asked, resting his chin on his hand.

Messing with the Night Emperor’s venue was undoubtedly a disgraceful deed, with the main benefit being to please those in power.

Qi Renjie’s eyes flashed with hatred: "Their power is immense, and I currently have no ability to resist. All I can do is earn military merits, gradually rising in rank. Actually, I’ve nearly planned my revenge, just didn’t expect to fail at your hands."

Upon hearing this, Qin Hao understood that Qi Renjie’s words had about a seventy to eighty percent credibility.

And the fact that this straightforward guy chose to tell him the story meant he at least had a bit of sincerity.

Seemingly worried Qin Hao might overthink, Qi Renjie solemnly added: "In truth, my purpose in coming here wasn’t just to earn merits. If I failed, I would also consider cooperating with you. After all, our mutual enemy is the Qi Family."

Qin Hao extended one finger, smiling faintly: "Unfortunately, the script went awry, and now we are not in a cooperative relationship, but a master-servant one."

"I’m a subordinate, not a servant!" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Qi Renjie stubbornly declared: "Also, I won’t do everything for you. If you ask me to kill children and women from my own family, I won’t be able to do it."

"I’m not some bloodthirsty psycho."

Qin Hao said offhandedly, making Qi Renjie look at him with disbelief.

"What? Do you think I’m a mad killer?"

Qin Hao was a bit puzzled.

Qi Renjie’s expression stayed the same, but his eyes were wary: "The dark web says you’re a wicked villain. Unlike those wanted criminals, the only difference is you haven’t participated in terrorist activities."

Qin Hao didn’t know how to refute it; maybe he had assassinated quite a few people in recent years?

But those people all deserved to die!

After eliminating so many evil people for the greater good, no one praised him, yet there were only terrifying rumors enough to scare little children?

Recalling the past made Qin Hao feel a twinge of internal pain, and he didn’t want to dwell on this topic, so he switched topics: "Is your current position in the Qi Family very low?"

Qi Renjie spoke with a look of discontent: "I’m just the child of a dancer. Even if my martial arts and talents are the highest in four generations, my status is still lower than those good-for-nothings!"

"If your status is so low, how does that benefit my grand plan?"

Qin Hao asked with a mischievous smile.

Qi Renjie gritted his teeth: "I can provide you with information. Although my current position is very low, as long as I’m given an opportunity to earn merits, those old bastards have no reason to continue blocking me!"
