"Word! Word! Word…"
Hausman also prayed in his heart. He had only managed to gather 300 purple crystals. If he lost this round, he would have virtually no chance of turning things around.
*Snap!*
After the coin spun for over ten seconds, it finally landed on the table.
Looking at the flower blooming on the coin, everyone turned their gaze to Hausman, casting looks of pity and sympathy.
"Damn it…"
Hausman roared in anger, asking why heaven would play such tricks on people!
"My apologies! My apologies!"
On the other side, Ye Cangtian admired Hausman's expression and then cupped his fists, collecting the crystals on the table into his bag.
Having done this, Ye Cangtian prepared to get up and leave.
"Wait."
Just then, a hoarse voice came from behind. Ye Cangtian stopped and turned to look.
"Lord Hausman, you have too few remaining crystals. I truly have no interest in wasting time here," Ye Cangtian said faintly.
"Just a moment!"
Saying this, Hausman flashed and walked towards a hidden door. When Hausman returned, he held four golden crystals in his hand.
*Whoosh!*
Seeing the golden crystals in Hausman's hand, the surrounding red-robed bishops were instantly in an uproar!
"Has he gone mad!"
"He actually borrowed money from the Sky Fortune Tower, that's pure usury! If he can't repay it on time, he'll instantly become a devil, making life worse than death!"
On the other side, Ye Cangtian, who was also watching everything, returned to his chair.
He didn't care where these crystals came from or what price he had to pay. To him, as long as the other party had money, it was enough!
"Mr. Ye, let's play one more round. I'm betting everything on word!"
As he spoke, Hausman directly pushed the four crystals onto the table.
In his eyes, turning things around was a matter of this one move!
Since Ye Cangtian had flipped the coin last time, it was his turn now. He was extremely confident in his skill.
"Alright."
Ye Cangtian directly threw out four golden crystals and then made a gesture of invitation.
Hausman picked up the coin, blew on it, and then flicked it into the air.
Immediately, Hausman revealed a triumphant smile, as if victory was already in his grasp. He had already won and was just waiting to collect the crystals.
The next moment, the coin landed on the table again, spinning.
*Heh heh.*
Watching the golden coin spin, a strange smile appeared on Ye Cangtian's face.
He had to admit, the opponent had some skill. Under normal circumstances, the coin would always land with the word facing up.
But how could Ye Cangtian allow such a situation to occur?
He had already flicked a wisp of spiritual energy as soon as the coin landed on the table.
"No! This is impossible!"
"How could I possibly make a mistake! It must be you, you cheated…"
The next moment, upon seeing the coin land with the flower facing up, Hausman immediately stood up, pointing his large hand at Ye Cangtian.
He had absolute confidence in his skill, and the current result was beyond his expectations. This could only mean that the other party had cheated.
"Are you unable to afford to lose?"
"Everyone is watching! Who can prove I cheated?"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian pointed to the cameras on the surrounding walls and continued, "Aren't there surveillance cameras in the room? You can also check them!"
As soon as his words fell, Hausman's gaze immediately shifted around.
As a result, the red-robed bishops were all shaking their heads at him, showing helpless expressions.
Ye Cangtian had indeed tampered with it, but that wisp of spiritual energy was inherently difficult to detect. Moreover, these red-robed bishops had consumed the Blissful Pill.
Therefore, it was impossible to detect that wisp of spiritual energy!
As for the surveillance cameras in the room, Ye Cangtian had noticed them long ago and would naturally avoid their gaze.
"This…"
Looking at the expressions of his companions around him, Hausman wilted like a frostbitten eggplant. He slumped back into his chair, his expression one of wishing he were dead.
He had borrowed 4 golden crystals from Sky Fortune Tower, and even if he repaid it on the same day, he would have to return 5 golden crystals.
But where would he get the crystals to repay it!
However, if he failed to repay, with each passing week, another golden crystal would be added.
This meant that every week that passed, he would have to serve the Church of Light for an additional 10 years.
If it continued like this, he would be working for the Church of Light for free his entire life, and he would never be able to repay it.
Most importantly, Sky Fortune Tower was an industry of the Church of Light, so any attempt to default or use force would be useless.
For a moment, Hausman felt that his life was devoid of hope.
"My apologies, my apologies!"
On the other side, Ye Cangtian retracted the crystals and cupped his fists at Hausman mockingly.
Then, he glanced at the surrounding red-robed bishops and said, "I heard the fifth floor rarely opens. If everyone wants to play, I'd be happy to accompany you!"
"This…"
With those words, all the red-robed bishops' faces flushed red. This was clearly a provocation!
They truly wanted to step forward and teach Ye Cangtian a lesson.
However, when they thought about the crystals in their bags, they ultimately gave up helplessly.
Earlier, Hausman had basically borrowed all their crystals. Now, with what could they play against Ye Cangtian?
They couldn't possibly borrow from Sky Fortune Tower like Hausman, could they?
"Since no one is interested, then forget it. I'll go back to the hotel to rest!"
Seeing everyone's silence, Ye Cangtian shrugged with a smile and said, as he prepared to leave with Gui Wu and Lan Yue.
"Ye Cangtian, you won't be leaving today!"
"Guards!"
Just as Ye Cangtian and the others were descending the stairs and had just reached the fourth floor, Hausman's roaring voice instantly came from behind.
In the blink of an eye, Hausman ran in front of Ye Cangtian, blocking the three of them.
He could no longer hold back. Rather than face a lifetime of unpayable debt, he might as well fight Ye Cangtian.
After all, neither of them had spiritual energy, and he had a few subordinates. They held an absolute advantage in numbers, so taking down the opponent shouldn't be difficult.
Moreover, and most importantly, Ye Cangtian was already on the wanted list of the Church of Light.
If he could successfully kill Ye Cangtian, not only would there be no punishment, but there might even be additional rewards.
Therefore, he decided to take a gamble.
On the other side, looking at Hausman's bloodshot eyes and frenzied demeanor, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but frown and say, "Do you know your actions bring shame to the Church of Light? Everyone, you should try to persuade him!"
As his voice fell, the surrounding red-robed bishops exchanged glances, but in the end, none of them stepped forward to stop him.
After all, Hausman was their companion, and Ye Cangtian, in the final analysis, was their enemy.
Therefore, they naturally chose to turn a blind eye to such matters.
"Heh heh, Ye Cangtian, you only have two choices today: hand over your Qiankun bag, or die here!"
Looking at the situation around him, a ferocious expression appeared on Hausman's face.
"Don't rush."
Ye Cangtian glanced at the other party faintly, then looked around and said loudly, "Where are the people from Sky Fortune Tower? Someone is causing trouble here, shouldn't you come out to maintain order?
If this matter gets out, it won't be good for Sky Fortune Tower's reputation!"
Silence! A deathly silence!
Everyone around was looking around, but there was no movement whatsoever.
*Heh heh.*
Seeing this, Hausman's smile grew more intense, and he sneered, "Ye Cangtian, are you out of your mind! Sky Fortune Tower is an industry of the Church of Light, how could they possibly deal with me!"
"Alright, you are all birds of a feather."
"Since that's the case, then bring out whatever skills you have!"
Ye Cangtian shrugged helplessly. This situation was within his expectations.
And his previous actions were merely to let everyone understand the true nature of Sky Fortune Tower.
Saying this, he slowly walked forward and beckoned to Hausman.
"Attack!"
In response to Ye Cangtian's provocation, Hausman directly waved his hand.
The next moment, the ten subordinates he brought with him rushed towards Ye Cangtian.
*Bang bang bang…*
In just an instant, the two sides were locked in combat, the sounds of flesh colliding echoing endlessly.
"This… How is this possible!"
Looking at the burly figures falling to the ground and howling in pain, Hausman felt like spitting blood.
He couldn't understand, why was the other party still so strong after taking the Blissful Pill!
Not only him, but even the surrounding red-robed bishops were stunned by this scene.
Most importantly, they couldn't detect any spiritual energy fluctuations on Ye Cangtian's body.
*Bang!*
Amidst everyone's astonishment, Ye Cangtian knocked down the last person.
He glanced at Hausman and said with a smile, "Have you heard of Chinese Kung Fu? Without spiritual energy, let alone ten people, even a hundred people are nothing to me!"
"This…"
Hausman's face instantly turned red. He was now in a difficult situation.
He truly wished he could tear Ye Cangtian to pieces, but he was no match for the strength Ye Cangtian displayed.
Yet, he was in a stalemate and didn't know what to do!
"You're not going to be that cowardly, are you? Seeing your subordinates beaten like pigs, and you still don't dare to make a move?"
"By the way, isn't this too shameful for the Church of Light?"
Seeing Hausman do nothing, Ye Cangtian continued to mock him mercilessly.
