Ye Tian said, "You will wish you were dead!" With that, he turned and left, leaving Hou Jinfang stunned where he stood.
Exiting Jinfang Building, Ye Tian bought some incense, candles, and paper money, along with a bottle of wine. He was going to the cemetery to pay respects to his good brother, Li Zhixuan.
Li Zhixuan's grave was the cheapest kind, a small plot with a tombstone. The tombstone bore only a few simple words: Tomb of Li Zhixuan.
A light rain began to fall. Ye Tian lit a few sticks of incense, then opened the wine bottle and poured several cups. As he burned the paper money, he spoke, "Zhixuan, it's been a long time. I never imagined that the next time we met, we would be separated by the heavens and earth."
Not far from the cemetery, there was a small house. A middle-aged man glanced over in their direction, then strode over. From a distance, he called out, "What are you doing? No burning paper in the cemetery!"
Ye Tian didn't turn his head, replying coldly, "You can't burn paper in the cemetery, should I burn it in your house?"
This middle-aged man was the cemetery administrator. His face darkened. "Kid, are you looking for trouble? If you want to burn paper in the cemetery, you have to pay a fire prevention fee. Otherwise, if you set the grass around here on fire, who's going to put it out for you?"
Ye Tian retorted, "The ground around the grassland is all cement, and it's raining. Can this grass even catch fire?"
The middle-aged man snorted, "Kid, don't feed me that nonsense. The fire prevention fee is fifty yuan. Pay up quickly and there's no problem. Otherwise, you just wait and see, your tombstone will be overturned sooner or later!"
Ye Tian suddenly turned his head, his eyes shining with a sharp light. The administrator took one look and suddenly felt as if he were staring into a deep abyss, with countless malevolent spirits crawling out, their eyes fixed on him.
The administrator screamed and turned to run. But he stumbled and fell heavily after only a few steps. He quickly scrambled to his feet and bolted towards the small house.
Ye Tian paid him no further mind. After burning the paper, he poured the wine from his cup onto the tombstone and said, "Zhixuan, I know you died unjustly. Rest assured, I will avenge you!"
He stood up and left the cemetery.
However, as he neared the parking lot, four men emerged from the side. All four had unfriendly expressions. One of the middle-aged men lit a cigarette and asked, "What relation are you to Li Zhixuan?"
Ye Tian, who had known people were nearby, replied, "You've been watching for half an hour, haven't you?"
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes. "Alright, kid, you've got good eyesight. Answer my question first!"
Ye Tian asked, "What relation I am to Li Zhixuan, does that concern you?"
The middle-aged man chuckled sinisterly. "Kid, you've got a tough mouth. Fine, let's see if you can keep it tough!"
Saying this, he strode towards Ye Tian. However, after only a few steps, he suddenly fell to his knees with a "thump."
The remaining three were startled and quickly asked, "Brother Qi, what's wrong?"
The middle-aged man, called Brother Qi, looked at Ye Tian with a look of terror. He opened his mouth to say something, but not a single word came out.
"Thump, thump!"
Immediately, the other three also knelt down, each with a look of shock on their faces. What was happening? Why were their legs out of their control?
Ye Tian asked the middle-aged man, "Who sent you?"
The middle-aged man, finally able to speak, asked, "What did you do to me?"
Ye Tian commanded, "Answer the question."
The middle-aged man, filled with fear, quickly said, "It was Luo Shihao. He had people watching Li Zhixuan's grave. If anyone came to pay respects, we were to bring them to him."
Ye Tian stated, "Go back and tell him that I will visit him in the next few days."
With that, he strode away, leaving the four men looking at each other in bewilderment.
Ye Tian drove back to the martial arts school. Upon arriving at his room, Long Xiao was waiting for him.
"There's another competition tonight, are you participating?" he asked.
Ye Tian replied, "Yes. Who is it this time?"
Long Xiao explained, "A group of gamblers from Dongying have arrived, a big tycoon from Dongying. He's brought a samurai with him, likely looking to make a fortune."
Ye Tian asked, "Is it the same gambling rules as yesterday?"
Long Xiao said, "Besides the casino, they also want to bet against people."
Ye Tian questioned, "Bet against people?"
Long Xiao elaborated, "They're betting at least a billion US dollars. What do you think, do you have the confidence?"
