David Bennett frowned slightly. Although the Silver Hook Gambling House was not located in Luming Town, it still had considerable influence. The town chief, Gavin Bennett, had also warned him not to offend the Silver Hook Gambling House without good reason.

Even though he was in the right this time, he couldn’t afford to make deadly enemies of these people. Since they had already conceded, he couldn’t push things too far.

Just as David Bennett was about to nod, he heard Brian Bennett say, “Take out that indenture!”

“Second Young Master, this is the indenture!” Mark Quinn hesitated for a moment, then took out the indenture and said, “I thought these people were just talking nonsense earlier. If I’d known this was a woman you had your eye on, Second Young Master, we wouldn’t have dared to take this indenture no matter what!”

Brian Bennett looked at the girl standing behind the middle-aged woman, her eyes sparkling with admiration as she gazed at him, and suddenly realized something: Of course! Wasn’t this the very girl he’d tried to bully yesterday?

And just as he looked at the girl, David Bennett, standing beside him, grinned and said teasingly, “Second Young Master, you really have grown up.”

Grown up, my ass!

At that moment, Brian Bennett suddenly realized that his reputation score had shot up to eighty-six!

From one to eighty-six, just for punching Mark Quinn once—this happiness came a bit too fast. No, he couldn’t let Mark Quinn go so easily!

Having made up his mind, Brian Bennett chuckled and said, “Since this indenture was won from Samuel Thompson by you, let’s make a bet. If I lose, I’ll drop the matter. If I win, you leave the indenture here. How about it?”

Seeing Brian Bennett’s gaze, Mark Quinn felt a bit uneasy, but the terms seemed worth it. The worst outcome was just leaving the indenture behind.

“We’ll bet on heads or tails. Heads, I win; tails, you win.” As he spoke, Brian Bennett took out a copper coin and tossed it on the ground.

At that moment, many people held their breath, especially the middle-aged woman. She looked at Brian Bennett with a hint of confusion, not understanding why the Second Young Master still wanted to gamble!

After all, Mark Quinn had already returned the indenture without fuss!

The copper coin fell from the air, tugging at the hearts of many.

Tails!

This result made quite a few people’s hearts clench. The girl who had been gazing at Brian Bennett with her big, watery eyes, Xiao Duo, suddenly burst into tears and threw herself into her mother’s arms.

“Second Young Master, I’m really sorry, but this time I win!” Mark Quinn was overjoyed inside, thinking that maybe the Second Young Master didn’t want to offend their Silver Hook Gambling House. Otherwise, why would he use this method to let him take the little beauty away?

But just as he finished speaking, a heavy slap landed on his face. Brian Bennett glared at him fiercely and demanded, “Which eye of yours saw that it was tails?”

“Both my eyes saw it.” Mark Quinn replied angrily.

“Then that means both your eyes are blind. And if you’re blind, you need to be treated, don’t you think?” As Brian Bennett spoke, he slapped Mark Quinn hard across the face again.

At that moment, Mark Quinn wanted to jump up, but the pain in his stomach made it hard to move, not to mention David Bennett’s hand was pressing down on his back—he didn’t even know when that had happened.

Blind—those two words made Mark Quinn shudder. Looking at the cold-faced youth, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Damn, this sunny-looking Second Young Master of the Zheng family was a ruthless one!

For a moment, Mark Quinn felt a twinge of fear in his heart.

“Smack!” Mark Quinn slapped himself hard across the face and shouted, “It’s heads! I didn’t see clearly just now, I must be blind, haha!”

Mark Quinn left with his men, his eyes filled with a mix of fear and anger. As he departed, David Bennett quietly said to Brian Bennett, “Second Young Master, it’s not good to offend the Silver Hook Gambling House like this.”

Of course, Brian Bennett knew that tearing things open like this wasn’t ideal, but at this moment, he was overjoyed inside.

“Damn it, if they don’t respect me, they deserve to be taught a lesson!” As he spoke, Brian Bennett spotted Samuel Thompson trembling in the crowd.

“Uncle Dali, give him a hundred lashes for me. Tell him that if he dares to gamble again, I’ll whip him every time I see him!”

David Bennett agreed and waved for two members of the guard to tie up the forty-something Samuel Thompson to a small tree nearby.

“Second Young Master, he just made a foolish mistake. Please forgive him!” The middle-aged woman hurried over to Brian Bennett, pleading.

“Auntie, if I let him go, he might go gamble again and sell Xiao Duo as gambling money. Guys like him need a good beating to remember the lesson. Don’t worry, I’ll pay for his medical expenses after the beating!”

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment but said nothing more. As the guards’ whips lashed down, Samuel Thompson’s miserable screams echoed throughout Luming Town.
