At the sound of the voice, Qian Liu finally noticed someone else sitting in a corner of the room.

He glanced over casually, and the light just so happened to illuminate Qin Tuo’s face.

That one look was enough to send an icy chill down his spine!

Just then, one of the thugs beside him frowned and walked over to Qin Tuo.

”Hey, kid! Didn’t you hear Sixth Master? He told you to get the hell out!”

Seeing Qin Tuo sitting perfectly still, the thug twisted his lips into a smirk and reached out to grab his shoulder.

Qian Liu nearly had a heart attack. He immediately shot out a vicious kick.

”Sixth Master, what’d you kick me for?”

The thug clutched his face, feeling utterly wronged.

”You still have the fucking nerve to talk? I’ll deal with you later!”

Qian Liu cursed his idiotic underling inwardly.

He forced a smile and said respectfully,

”Celestial King...”

But the moment the words left his mouth, he saw Qin Tuo’s ambiguous half-smile and his heart leaped into his throat.

Only then did he remember that Qin Tuo didn’t want his identity exposed.

So, he cleared his throat and announced to everyone,

”All of you, get out. Guard the door and make sure no one comes in to disturb us.”

”Yes, Sixth Master!”

Although the group of henchmen had no idea why Qian Liu’s attitude had changed so drastically, they could only obey his orders.

Wang Lei and his group were left behind in the room, their faces etched with confusion.

’This isn’t right... Why did he suddenly let us stay...?’

Just as everyone was feeling deeply unsettled, Qian Liu spoke with a beaming smile.

”My apologies, everyone. That was all a misunderstanding. Please forgive my earlier rudeness.”

What?

The whole group’s jaws dropped.

How did the gangster boss, who was radiating pure menace just moments ago, suddenly become so obsequious?

To everyone, the scene felt completely surreal.

As Qian Liu spoke, he couldn’t stop himself from glancing at Qin Tuo’s expression.

Seeing Qin Tuo’s blank face, which betrayed neither joy nor anger, Qian Liu felt his own confidence evaporate.

He gave another awkward laugh.

”Everyone, please, eat and drink your fill. Anything you want, just ask a server to bring it over. The bill is on me tonight!”

What?! He’s going to cover our tab, too?

The group remained utterly dumbfounded.

”Boss... you don’t have to be so generous...”

One of the salespeople stammered with a strained laugh.

But Qian Liu simply waved his hand dismissively and insisted,

”It’s my pleasure. Your only job today is to have a good time. Don’t let what just happened spoil the fun.”

Everyone could only manage uneasy smiles and nod quickly in agreement.

”Well then, I won’t disturb you any longer!”

With that, Qian Liu exited the room.

As he left, he gave a nearly imperceptible bow in Qin Tuo’s direction as a sign of respect.

Qin Tuo still didn’t respond, having no intention of revealing his identity.

The moment Qian Liu was gone, the room erupted into chaos.

”Oh my god, what in the world was that? That guy’s attitude did a complete 180!”

”Yeah, his killing intent almost scared me to death. I’m sure he’s a real gangster, the kind who’s seen blood!”

”Sigh, I don’t get it either. Everything that’s happened today is just too bizarre.”

Qin Tuo sat silently in the corner. It never occurred to anyone to connect these events with him.

As the group was abuzz with discussion, the door to the private room opened once more.

Liu Juan entered, all smiles, followed by several beautiful waitresses.

In her hands, Liu Juan was carrying a large case of Ace of Spades champagne, leaving everyone staring in disbelief!

”Oh my god, Ace of Spades... an entire case?”

Everyone exchanged glances, completely at a loss for words.

Ace of Spades is astronomically expensive; the price of a whole case was beyond imagination!

A short while ago, intent on making Qin Tuo bleed money, they had only ordered some expensive imported beers. They hadn’t dared to order Ace of Spades.

They knew that ordering a case of Ace of Spades wasn’t a matter of making someone bleed money anymore.

If they couldn’t pay the bill, they might not be able to leave the Huayue Club at all.

One of the salespeople was the first to snap out of it, smiling sheepishly.

”I think you might have made a mistake. We didn’t order this...”

At this point, they had all forgotten their plan to fleece Qin Tuo.

The sight of a full case of Ace of Spades right in front of them made their heads spin.

Liu Juan smiled and explained,

”Our valued guests, this is a complimentary gift from our owner. Please, drink as much as you’d like. If you run out, we’ll bring more.”

As she spoke, the waitresses behind her brought in a dazzling array of high-end snacks and fruits.

”What? It’s complimentary?”

Even Wang Lei, who prided himself on being worldly, was completely stunned.

Zhou Kexin, however, stared at the case of Ace of Spades, her eyes sparkling.

She immediately whipped out her phone, snapped a picture, and posted it to her social media to show off.

”Please, enjoy yourselves!”

Liu Juan flashed a professional smile, then exited the room, pulling the door gently shut behind her.

After Liu Juan and the waitresses left, the room was once again abuzz with chatter.

”My god, that boss is so generous! A whole case of Ace of Spades, just like that?”

”I know, it’s insane! This case must be worth at least a few hundred thousand!”

”Huh, that’s weird. Does someone here know that big shot? Why else would his attitude have changed so quickly?”

Hearing this, an idea suddenly sparked in Wang Lei’s mind.

He cleared his throat twice, drawing everyone’s attention.

”Alright, it seems I can’t keep you in the dark any longer!”

”Huh? Boss, what do you mean?”

Everyone looked at him, completely baffled.

His girlfriend, Zhou Kexin, also looked confused.

Wang Lei smiled and explained,

”I know a lot of powerful people who hang out here. One of them must have seen me and put in a good word with the club’s management.”

Upon hearing this, it all suddenly clicked for the group.

When they thought about it, it was the only explanation that made sense.

Besides, among everyone present, no one else’s connections were even worth mentioning compared to Wang Lei’s.

Once they realized this, they immediately started showering Wang Lei with flattery again.

”Haha, you’re the man, Boss! If it weren’t for you, we would have been totally screwed today.”

”Boss, you’ve got some serious clout! This is the first time in my life I’ve ever gotten to drink Ace of Spades!”

Listening to all the bootlicking, Wang Lei’s face beamed with pride. He felt like he was floating on air.

His girlfriend, Zhou Kexin, looked at him with a face full of remorse.

”Wang Lei, I had no idea you were just being so modest. You’re not mad at me for how I acted before, are you?”

Wang Lei laughed heartily and said with magnanimity,

”It’s fine, darling. You know me, I’ve always preferred to be low-key!”

The group immediately burst into applause, followed by another wave of fawning praise.

Only Qin Tuo, sitting in the corner, watched Wang Lei’s performance as if he were watching a clown on a stage.
