Chapter 85: A Brother with a Strong Sense of Justice (1/2)

To acknowledge Huang Hao as a big brother?

If a big brother doesn’t help his little brother, can he even be called a big brother?

Zhao Qingfeng was not a pushover.

He knew Huang Hao was someone who greatly valued his reputation. He hadn’t thought of a good reason to ask for the money, but now the situation had resolved itself. Since many people had seen him acknowledging Huang Hao as his big brother, it was only fitting to let Huang Hao handle this.

Huang Hao stood frozen, seemingly unable to process what was happening.

The fat boss, seeing that Zhao Qingfeng was involved, immediately suspected foul play.

He approached Zhao Qingfeng and frantically searched him, turning his pockets inside out, but found nothing suspicious.

Of course, there was nothing to find. Zhao Qingfeng had already destroyed the small device after its final use during his trip to the restroom.

There was no evidence left.

Still, the fat boss tried to find reasons not to cash out, “This is not right, the machine malfunctioned, today’s score isn’t valid. I’ll refund you a hundred yuan.”

How could that be possible?

Zhang Yang argued vehemently, “How can you be so dishonest, you fatso? Losing is fine, but winning isn’t? No wonder Wang Qiang said this place is no good! Do you want me to smash your windows?”

This statement really struck a chord with many patrons, especially those who were playing on the gambling machines. They loudly voiced their support.

The fat boss, however, remained unmoved. The final say was his in the arcade.

But then Zhao Qingfeng added, “Big brother, he’s being unreasonable. My uncle lost a thousand here and got detained, now my friend wins over a thousand, and he refuses to pay up. Isn’t that blatant bullying?”

The phrase ‘us’ was crucial.

Everyone’s gaze swiftly landed on Huang Hao, awaiting his response.

The fat boss also looked at Huang Hao, “Hao, are you going to handle this? When did you take this guy as your little brother?”

Huang Hao really didn’t want to get involved, as he had known the fat boss for several years and usually played pool for free.

But now, Zhao Qingfeng had not only made him a big brother but also held the fact that Huang Hao was scared to the point of soiling himself.

Moreover, Zhao Qingfeng had just said that the extra two thousand yuan would be his!

Huang Hao coughed twice and looked at Zhao Qingfeng.

“Big brother, cover me!”

Zhao Qingfeng nodded firmly, emphasizing the word ‘big brother’.

The fat boss, realizing the situation, appealed to Huang Hao, “Hao, I’ve always been good to you, right? I never charged you for playing pool.”

Huang Hao acknowledged that, but at the same time, he often helped the fat boss settle disputes.

However, the fat boss always looked down on him.

Huang Hao remembered the fat boss joking in front of others, calling him a ‘mere thug’.

Huang Hao didn’t consider himself a thug.

He idolized ‘Chan Ho-nam’ and valued the ‘righteousness’ in ‘having a strong sense of justice’.

Then he realized another important point.

Zhao Qingfeng said he would win, and he did. There must be something special about this young man.

Becoming friends with him could be better than knowing the fat boss.

Huang Hao made up his mind and waved his hand, “No way! Give the money to my brother. I watched him win it fair and square. Don’t mess with me!”

The fat boss couldn’t believe it, “Hao, are you sure about this? If you do this, don’t ever come back here.”

Huang Hao glanced at Zhao Qingfeng, then nodded at the fat boss, “If not, then not. First, settle the money issue! Didn’t my brother just say it? A total of twelve thousand, one thousand cancels the debt, and the remaining two thousand give it to me!”

The fat boss didn’t curse.

He didn’t want to offend Huang Hao too much.

Besides.
