Death to Traitors

When the Casino Boss saw that Xuan Ye ignored him and instead looked at the casino employee kneeling on the ground, his heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong.

"Ninja Lord, this casino employee betrayed the casino; he deserves to die."

The Casino Boss said nervously, staring intently at Xuan Ye's face as if trying to read Xuan Ye's thoughts.

"Haha! How interesting! The Casino Boss said this staff member deserved to die, which probably means he wants me to get out of the way and not interfere with his killing!" Xuan Ye thought to himself with a smile.

Although Xuan Ye fully supported the Casino Boss's ruthless behavior and found it very agreeable, since the man had betrayed him, he was now his enemy and had to be killed.

However, Xuan Ye has his own reasons for staying, so he cannot leave too soon.

"Hmm! You said you have elderly parents and young children to support. Is everything you said true? You're not lying to me?" Xuan Ye asked the staff member, feigning doubt.

"Ninja Lord, I absolutely did not deceive you! I swear, if I have deceived you, may I be struck by lightning! Please save me, I cannot die!" Upon hearing Xuan Ye's question, the staff member knew that his chance had come, so he cried out even more pitifully, as if killing him would be a great sin.

"Uh! Is that so?" Xuan Ye closed his eyes and pretended to think for a while.

The casino was unusually quiet at this moment. No one made a sound. Even the staff member who had cried the most pitifully earlier remained silent, for he was afraid that speaking would disturb his last lifeline.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes.

Finally, Xuan Ye opened his eyes and smiled, looking as if he had already figured out the answer.

Upon seeing this, the casino owner became somewhat nervous, because he believed in the principle of eliminating all threats and ensuring that anyone who crossed him would die, but that was no longer the case.

Xuan Ye is the most powerful person in this casino. Once Xuan Ye makes a decision, there may be no way to go against it.

Anyone who goes against his wishes might be brutally killed, and the casino owner doesn't want to touch on that.

Actually, there was someone in this casino who was even more nervous than the casino owner. That person was the casino employee, because his life was now in Xuan Ye's hands. If Xuan Ye didn't take care of him, he would surely die.

"Okay! That's settled then! I remember you have elderly parents and young children to support, right?" Xuan Ye asked again.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! My Ninja Lord family needs me to work to support them. I can't die. If I die, they will definitely starve to death."

The casino staff member nodded quickly in response to Xuan Ye's question.

"Alright! Since you have a large family."

At this point, Xuan Ye deliberately paused and looked at their expressions.

Of the two, the staff member seemed more excited, as if he believed Xuan Ye would protect him and prevent his death.

The casino owner was furious, but he couldn't vent his anger on Xuan Ye.

Actually, they were both wrong. Xuan Ye had no intention of letting that staff member continue to live. After all, he was a traitor, and Xuan Ye had a strong aversion to that profession, so he could only apologize.

"Well then, boss, why don't you give his whole family some money to support them?"

"Hmm! Hmm! Hmm! What a kind person, a really kind person! I never expected that this ninja would not only spare my life but also give me some silver. I have never met such a kind person in my entire life!"

"Hey! Something seems off!" The casino employee thought about it carefully and realized he might have misunderstood.

At this moment, the casino owner realized what was happening. "Ninja Lord, you... you want me to give his family some money? So they don't starve to death? Is that what you mean?"

Upon hearing the Casino Boss's question, Xuan Ye revealed a smile, saying with a touch of wickedness, "Yes! Uncle, why don't you give his whole family some compensation? Anyway, you're going to kill their head of the family, so giving them some silver to keep them from starving isn't too much to ask!"

The Casino Boss seemed not to have heard clearly. After a moment of stunned silence, he quickly realized what was happening. After all, he was a casino owner, so his reaction time was quite good.

"Haha! Since you've already addressed me as 'Uncle,' I'll be shameless and call you 'Little Brother.'"

"It's alright, Uncle, call me whatever you want."

"I didn't expect you to be such a sensible young man! I like young men like you."

The Casino Boss laughed heartily for a while, then ordered several burly men behind him to kill the casino employee in front of him, then find a place to dispose of his body, and finally give his family 50,000 taels of silver.

Fifty thousand taels of silver is actually quite a lot. In an ordinary family, it would take almost two years of not eating or drinking to earn that much. So, the Casino Boss is actually quite kind.

"Uncle, you don't mind that you've ruined this casino like this, do you?"

Xuan Ye patted the Casino Boss in front of him and said.

"Of course, young man, you've done me a huge favor! I'm so grateful! How could I possibly mind?" the Casino Boss said readily.

This incident may have made the casino owner feel that the young men guarding his casino were very much to his liking; they were all ruthless people who would leave no trace of trouble once they had done something.

"Um! Uncle, I don't see anything else for me right now. In that case, I'll go back to that courtyard. If you need anything else, just remember to come find me."

"Um!"

The Casino Boss waved to Xuan Ye.

The casino employee turned deathly pale and trembled uncontrollably. He knew he was doomed, and his eyes were filled with deep regret.

"If I hadn't done that just now, maybe things wouldn't be like this now!" he thought to himself as he closed his eyes.

"It seems that leaving the ninja village this time was a pretty good decision. If I had stayed in Konoha Village, I probably wouldn't have seen or encountered so many things. Although it was safe to stay in Konoha Village, I liked this kind of life even more." After returning to the courtyard, Xuan Ye suddenly had these thoughts in his mind.
