Xu LeGuo had originally thought he would have to suffer some physical pain before this nephew of his would be willing to pay off his gambling debt.
Five thousand Sea Shells was no small sum. He had bet it purely because people around him had egged him on, and he had refused to back down once he got worked up.

Why was he being so decisive?

By now, the Relay Station's eighty thousand people probably all know that you, Xu LeGuo, secretly sold the defense maps of the Relay Station and the surrounding fleets to the pirates."
"What?!"
