The second round of the gambling game began from here.
After Heizi's defeat, he actually didn't suffer much loss; after all, it was just losing a ring that was insignificant to him. However, if he gave everything up, the most likely outcome would be Qian Cangyi and his group leaving the Bluestone Alley to search for the murderer ghost's location.
This was not something Heizi wished to see. He had already savored the delectable He Jian, and he wanted to savor more living people.
It was for this reason that he inquired about the other living people from the human-snake Bai Lian. Add to that the defeat that made no sense and being subjected to all sorts of mockery, he couldn't swallow his pride.
It was only now that Heizi truly began to get angry. And still, whether he was angry or not had nothing to do with winning or losing.
