Chapter 1247: Punishment
Zhang Ya’Er spoke with determination, her eyes revealing a heroic spirit.
"Hold these two cheaters down!" Zhang Ya’Er said to the staff of the gambling den.
DS panicked and shouted angrily, "You can’t chop off my fingers! I’m in charge of the gambling den, just like you. How dare you do this!"
"Fuck you! How can you have the nerve to say that? You know you’re in charge of the gambling den, yet you disgrace it like this? An asshole like you deserves to have a hand chopped off!"
After fiercely swearing, Zhang Ya’Er’s bright yet angry phoenix eyes yelled at the nearby staff, "Are you all just dumbfounded? Can’t understand instructions? I told you to hold them down!"
"Oh, okay."
A group of guys in black vests immediately rushed over. Although DS tried to resist, a lone tiger could not withstand a pack of hungry wolves. How could two hands fight four fists? So he was quickly overpowered and pinned to the gambling table, his pale face pressed flat against the surface.
As for Mrs. Liu, he was even less able to resist and ended up like DS.
"Shan! Shan, help me! Shan!" DS continued to struggle, pinning his last hope on Shan, with whom he had a long-standing bond!
DS was usually flamboyant and never called ’Shan.’ He mostly called him ’Little Shan.’ Now, in the face of disaster, he remembered him.
Shan glanced at Zhang Ya’Er, wanting to plead for DS, but his mouth opened and then closed. Helping him now would only cause more trouble, and he couldn’t keep himself out of it later.
It wasn’t that Shan and DS had such a great personal relationship. It was just the terror of a shared fate when one rabbit dies, the fox feels sorrow. If it were Shan caught, he feared he would face the same result.
There was no way around it, this woman was too quick and too ruthless! Now, all command had fallen into her hands. Had he reacted faster earlier, there might have been a chance, but alas...
"You can’t cut off my hand! My dad and my brother won’t let you go!" Mrs. Liu shouted in rage.
"Heh, your dad is old, and I doubt your brother can accomplish much. Besides, your cheating will reach them, what then? Dare they charge in here? I’m not afraid of your old man and useless brother!" Zhang Ya’Er sneered.
In reality, Mrs. Liu’s father and brother had done well in the business circles of Kanyue City, or he wouldn’t have been here lazing around. But compared to the Wang Family, they were insignificant.
"Go fetch the knife!" Zhang Ya’Er instructed a waiter. The waiter quickly ran back and forth, fetching a knife.
Zhang Ya’Er took it directly, appearing ready to do it herself.
This woman is truly ruthless!
Zhang Ya’Er weighed the knife in her hand and said, "Why a fruit knife? It’s too light; it might not be sharp enough."
The waiter hurriedly said, "I’ll find a bigger one."
"No need. This will do. If it’s not enough, I’ll just chop a few more times," Zhang Ya’Er said calmly.
DS and Mrs. Liu went pale. Chopping a few more times—who the hell could stand that?
The more Mrs. Liu thought, the more frightened he became. He started to sweat and tremble, and soon, he peed his pants... He couldn’t control it!
"Hahaha, he actually peed. Bet his thing went limp from fright?"
"Coward, peed so soon? Weren’t afraid when you were cheating earlier, were you? Pah!"
The sharp jeers from the onlookers did not engage Mrs. Liu at all; he merely felt Zhang Ya’Er approaching with the knife, his fear reaching its peak, struggling desperately like a pig about to be slaughtered.
"Don’t move around. Initially, it’s just one finger. If you mess around and I cut wrong, losing a whole hand isn’t my fault!" Zhang Ya’Er said, pressing Mrs. Liu’s hand with her left hand and striking down hard with the right.
Blood splattered!
As the saying goes, ten fingers connect to the heart. The pain was heart-wrenching, so intense it could make a person faint or even suffer sudden death. Mrs. Liu screamed with agony like a slaughtered pig, loud and awful!
Those who had been jeering and causing a ruckus earlier fell silent witnessing this, all shocked by what unfolded.
Chopping fingers was not merely a punishment, but a deterrent!
That was the fate of cheaters!
"Throw him out!" Zhang Ya’Er calmly ordered, as if she’d just sliced a carrot.
Then Zhang Ya’Er moved on to DS, saying, "You’re in charge of the gambling den, knowing the law and violating it, so for you, it’s two fingers!"
Her indifferent tone was like the cold sentencing of death, enveloped in a chill.
DS’s expression was grim, gritting his teeth in curses, "Bitch! One day, I’ll make you pay back double!"
Initially, one finger was enough, yet this woman wanted these gamblers to vent anger, and chopped off two! Not considering past relations at all! This made DS feel she was worse than Lin Tian!
DS even knew Zhang Ya’Er had cheated and wanted to expose her, but she must have covered her tracks by now, making it useless. All this powerlessness turned into bitter hatred.
Zhang Ya’Er coldly sneered, "Heh, I doubt you’ll get that chance. Say goodbye to your fingers!"
Again a strike of the knife, and this time, the blood splatter was far more severe, the screams more gut-wrenching. Within seconds, he passed out.
Lin Tian saw that bloodied hand was missing three fingers, and it looked really off!
Three... this vengeful woman!
Zhang Ya’Er tossed the fruit knife onto the ground, meticulously wiping her hands with a silk handkerchief. She addressed everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, I’ll say it again: winning relies on luck and skill, not cheating! If you walk by the river, your shoes will get wet. Hopefully, today’s events will serve as a warning for us all, and such things will not happen again."
The crowd stood silently, unsure what to say. The previous screams still echoed, the vibrant red blood stains on the ground glaring, weighing down their hearts.
"The promises Ya’Er made earlier still stand. Each will receive fifty thousand gambling chips and a one-to-one exchange rate with the Celestial Dragon Continent currency. If you’re tired today, rest early. If you wish to continue playing, feel free."
The crowd gradually dispersed, with most choosing to leave and only a few stayed to continue gambling. As for those gambling chips, they were naturally delivered to their hands by the staff.
Zhang Ya’Er’s expression remained as calm as before, but her departing steps quickened.
