Chapter 446: Chapter 446: Are You Worthy to Negotiate with Me? (5th Update)
Carnegie took a few steps forward, his face full of humility and fawning, “Mr. Xue, I really didn’t know your identity, this is all a misunderstanding!”
While saying this, Carnegie shouted at those menacing security guards, “Put your guns away! You bastards, who asked you to come here?”
The security guards looked at each other in dismay, silently putting away their firearms and stepping aside.
Then, Carnegie took out a handgun from his waist and, without hesitation, pulled the trigger at Liu Wu and Mike.
Bang, bang, two shots rang out.
Neither man had ever dreamed the big boss would shoot at them, and caught off guard, they could only let out a scream before falling dead.
Afterward, Carnegie took a step forward and said respectfully, “Mr. Xue, my men were disrespectful to you, and I’ve dealt with them personally!”
This shocking turnaround left everyone completely dumbfounded.
How could it be that Carnegie, who was just calling for a fight, suddenly became so humble? And he even killed two of his own men!
Xue An didn’t make a sound, just silently watched the scene unfold.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table surface. The sound wasn’t loud but it made Carnegie’s face grow increasingly unsightly.
The room fell quiet, and all eyes were focused on Xue An.
It was then that people began to realize.
This Chinese man had been treating the whole ordeal as if he were playing a game, toying with Carnegie and the others from the very beginning.
And given Carnegie’s fearful demeanor, this man’s identity was certainly no ordinary one.
Guo Xiaoliang muttered, “Wife, it looks like we don’t need to take action!”
Cai Lalan, however, stared at Xue An’s back, her expression shifting. It was unclear what she was thinking.
At this point, Carnegie was almost burying his head in his chest, and cold sweat dripped down his cheeks onto the carpet.
A full three minutes later, Xue An finally spoke indifferently, “Do you know who I am now?”
“Yes! Mr. Langfero from the FBI just called and told me!”
“Good. Now let’s talk about our bet,” he said.
Carnegie shivered.
The reason he had been so theatrical was that he was hoping to smooth over the situation.
In his view, the only reason Xue An had stepped in was to stick up for his friend, not because he was truly interested in his casino.
So long as he gave Xue An enough face, he thought, everything would be fine.
That’s why he had resolutely taken action, killing his two capable subordinates, to convey an attitude to Xue An.
I’ve now killed my own men—what more do you want?
But he hadn’t anticipated that Xue An wouldn’t fall for his ruse.
“This…” Carnegie was still hesitant.
Xue An said flatly, “What? You don’t want to give it up?”
Carnegie trembled again, “Of course not! It’s just that, with such a large casino, the handover will need some time… How about this, you take these bank cards and leave first, and later I’ll have the lawyers handle the handover procedure!”
Carnegie’s intention was clear.
You’re just passing through, even if I give the casino to you, you can’t manage it!
Now that you’ve won a full thirty billion from me, that should be enough!
Shouldn’t we spare people when we can?
Do you really have to be so ruthless?
Carnegie had played out his plan beautifully in his mind.
But what he hadn’t counted on was Xue An turning to Wu Yu and smiling, “I wonder if Miss Wu would be willing to become a manager for one of my company’s subsidiary casinos?”
Wu Yu’s eyes widened as she pointed to her own nose, “Me?”
Xue An nodded.
“But…!” Wu Yu looked at Carnegie, whose face was turning the color of iron, with some hesitation.
Of course, she was tempted.
If she could really become the manager of a casino, it would mean she’d skyrocketed to the upper echelon, a member of the white-collar middle class.
But could it be that simple?
Carnegie had been running this casino for many years, and his connections were exceedingly complex…
Wu Yu was doing some calculations of her own.
Xue An chuckled, “Just say whether you’re willing or not!”
“Of course, I am willing!”
“That’s good!” Xue An nodded.
But Carnegie couldn’t help himself.
Xue An and Wu Yu’s conversation had completely disregarded his presence.
He was about to say something.
Xue An raised his eyebrows slightly.
A streak of sword light flashed by.
It bid his head and body a final farewell.
In midair, Carnegie heard his last words in this life.
“Want to negotiate with me, but do you have the qualifications to negotiate with me?”
Carnegie’s body thudded to the ground.
It elicited cries of shock from countless people.
Many of Carnegie’s loyal security guards roared in anger, ready to make a move.
Xue An didn’t move an inch, merely gesturing casually with his hand.
Streaks of sword light crisscrossed the room.
Everywhere it passed, blood splattered, and lives withered away.
A moment later.
All the security guards who had tried to resist lay dead on the spot.
Blood and bodies filled the entire hall.
Only then did Xue An stand up and said indifferently, “Now, this casino is under your control!”
Having said this, Xue An turned and walked towards the esports area.
Wherever he passed, the crowd automatically parted to create a path.
Even Guo Xiaoliang, who had intended to greet him, was terrified by Xue An’s thunderous methods and stood pale-faced behind the crowd.
Cai Lalan’s face was also very pale, but her eyes shone even brighter.
When Xue An approached, Cai Lalan bowed respectfully and said, “The descendant of the ancient Tai Chi, Cai Lalan, has seen the gentleman! And thank you for saving my husband!”
Xue An stopped in his tracks and smiled slightly, “You… know me?”
Cai Lalan nodded solemnly and then whispered, “I also love browsing Martial Arts forums!”
Xue An laughed heartily and then gave Guo Xiaoliang a wink, “Buddy, you have a good wife. I wish you happiness in the future!”
After speaking, Xue An left.
Once he was far away, Guo Xiaoliang asked somewhat fearfully, “Lanlan, who exactly is this man? Why even you have to be so respectful towards him!”
“He…” Cai Lalan pondered for a moment, her face taking on a serious expression, “is a figure revered in our time, the foremost person in the martial arts world!”
Hearing this, Guo Xiaoliang couldn’t help but look longingly at Xue An’s retreating figure.
He had witnessed everything that had just occurred.
In a situation that seemed impossible to turn around in the eyes of everyone, Xue An had broken through merely with his prestige.
Later, when faced with Carnegie’s evasive and tedious arguments,
Xue An didn’t waste words and took lives with his actions.
This straightforward method of resolution made Guo Xiaoliang greatly admire him.
At this moment, Xue An had returned to An Yan and her daughters.
They had no idea what had just happened, still deeply engaged in their games.
Especially Xiang Xiang.
She was now riding the motorcycle with skill and form.
Seeing Xue An’s return, An Yan blinked, “What happened? There was quite a commotion just now?”
“It’s nothing!” Xue An smiled lightly.
“Hmm!”
As long as her husband didn’t say anything, An Yan would never nag or inquire incessantly.
