"What an arrogant kid, daring to pull out a knife directly. But I'll soon make you regret it."
Xiao Long glared at Hunter Liu. The speed Hunter Liu had demonstrated earlier left a deep sense of shock in his eyes. If the two were to compete purely in terms of strength, taking down Hunter Liu wouldn't be an easy task. However, realizing that this wasn't a contest of speed but of gambling skills, his disdain quickly resurfaced.
After all, his gambling skills ranked among the top three in the entire Poyang City. Thanks to his prowess in gambling, despite not having reached the Tongmai realm and securing an elder position in the Qingshan Gang, he still enjoyed privileges that even surpassed some elders.
Because of this, Xiao Long was deeply dissatisfied with Hunter Liu's current attitude. Once he won, he fully intended to personally twist Hunter Liu's arm off. If Hunter Liu dared to resist, Xiao Long wouldn't hesitate to kill him, confident he could justify his actions.
"Arrogant or not, you'll see soon enough. But I suggest you don't celebrate too early."
Hunter Liu's lips curved into a faint smirk, his eyes filled with disdain.
Gambling skills?
Dice?
Though Hunter Liu had lived two lifetimes, recalling his experiences from his previous life always brought a wave of sighs. Gambling had been one of the skills he excelled at in his past life. As a top-tier assassin, one had to master everything, including exceptional gambling skills.
Dice games? Hunter Liu had often played against the world's gambling experts in his past life.
"You go first."
Hunter Liu stared at Xiao Long, completely indifferent. Reflecting on his past life didn't bring him any disdain, only a sense of nostalgia. Back then, assassinating high-profile figures from nations or major powers would ignite his bloodlust every time.
To him, he wasn't merely killing an individual but dismantling a power, a symbol of authority.
Every time, it filled him with fiery passion.
Now, he was about to become an assassin once again.
An assassin should eliminate everything, no matter how formidable the opponent or imposing their authority.
Xiao Long chuckled darkly. "Since you're letting me go first, I'll show you something. Hope you don't get scared."
Xiao Long didn't know Hunter Liu's exact background, but from his attire, it was clear he wasn't from any significant faction—likely some rural bumpkin.
And this country boy wanted to challenge him in gambling skills?
Xiao Long couldn't imagine himself losing. If he couldn't even defeat a countryside kid, what business did he have staying in the city? He might as well pack up and head home to farm.
After speaking, Xiao Long grabbed the gambling tools from the table. According to the rules, he opened the dice cup, revealing three dice inside. It was a standard gambling set with no tampering or tricks.
Once opened, Xiao Long quickly closed the dice cup again. Then, staring at Hunter Liu, he began shaking the cup slowly. Inside, the dice clinked rhythmically, producing crisp, sharp sounds.
Clink, clink, clink...
As Xiao Long's movements grew faster, the dice spun inside the cup at increasing speed, and the sounds became more intense and rapid.
Yet Xiao Long showed no intention of stopping. On the contrary, his speed continued to accelerate. Eventually, those with lower cultivation couldn't even see his arm movements, only hearing an uninterrupted stream of sounds emanating from the cup.
At this moment, Xiao Long had closed his eyes, his ears twitching slightly, as if he could hear the rhythmic clinking of the dice clearly.
