175: Chapter 175 The Mixed-Race Foreign Horse on the Cruise Ship

As night fell, the lights on the Huangpu River sparkled brilliantly.

The Victoria luxury cruise ship was quietly docked at the pier. This was Tianhai City's top social arena; tonight, anyone who could board was either rich or influential.

Lin Fan wore a bespoke handmade suit as he walked onto the deck with Leng Yue. Today, Leng Yue had changed into a black evening gown; the high-slit design revealed her slender thighs, and her cold, elegant temperament drew frequent glances from many rich second-generation heirs.

"Boss, Alisa is in the VIP box on the second floor. She has four bodyguards with her, all retired Navy SEALs," Leng Yue reported in a low voice.

Lin Fan picked up a glass of champagne and swirled it. "Navy SEALs? On my turf, even a dragon king has to coil up."

He walked straight to the second floor. At the entrance of the box, two burly foreigners reached out to stop him.

"Private box, no entry for outsiders," the foreigners said in stiff Chinese.

Lin Fan didn't even bother to speak and gave Leng Yue a look.

Leng Yue kicked off with her high heels and lunged forward like a ghost. Before the two foreigners could draw their guns, Leng Yue's palm strikes had accurately struck their carotid arteries. The two giants, weighing over two hundred pounds, didn't even make a sound before collapsing limply to the ground.

Lin Fan pushed open the door to the box.

Inside the box, a blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman with a figure so hot it was practically illegal was swirling a glass of red wine. She wore a deep-V red gown, her cleavage on full display. Seeing Lin Fan enter, she wasn't panicked; instead, she sized him up with interest.

"Chairman Lin Fan, the helm of Tianyang Group. You're much more handsome than you look in photos." Alisa's voice had a lazy, magnetic quality, and her Chinese was very fluent.

Lin Fan walked over and sat opposite her with a commanding posture. "Miss Alisa, since you know me, let's speak plainly. Why are the die-casting machines I ordered being held back?"

Alisa chuckled and stood up to walk beside Lin Fan. She deliberately leaned down, bringing her proud assets close to Lin Fan's eyes. "Chairman Lin, there are no 'whys' in the world of capital, only interests. The Chen family gave Roland Capital a bargaining chip we couldn't refuse, so I'm sorry, you won't be getting those machines."

Lin Fan smelled the strong perfume on her and sneered. "What chip did the Chen family give you? I'll double it."

"Double?" Alisa giggled, reaching out to tilt Lin Fan's chin. "Chairman Lin, you're currently scraping together money just to build cars; how can you afford to double it? The Chen family promised that as long as we cut off your equipment, once Tianyang Group goes bankrupt, they'll give us a thirty percent share of the Solid-state Battery technology patents."

Lin Fan's eyes turned cold. Those bastards from the Chen family were actually using his technology to do favors!

"Miss Alisa, you're a smart person. The Chen family is trying to get something for nothing. Tianyang Group won't go bankrupt, but your Roland Capital will lose the Chinese market—the world's largest—forever because of this breach of contract." Lin Fan stared into her eyes.

Alisa stopped smiling and returned to her seat. "Chairman Lin, threatening me is useless. The contract has been torn up, and the penalty for breach will be in your account tomorrow. You won't get a single machine."

Lin Fan leaned back on the sofa, his mind racing. Taking it by force definitely wouldn't work; the equipment was at customs, and if things escalated, it would be even worse for him.

"Ding! The many children many blessings system has triggered a mission!"

"Mission Details: Use the God-level Gambling Technique to win Alisa's Private Seal and have her proactively pour wine for you. Reward: God-level Precision Machine Tool Manufacturing Technology, 5 billion in cash. Penalty: Hair loss for three months."

Lin Fan's spirits soared. God-level Precision Machine Tool Manufacturing Technology! With this, I can build my own machine tools; why the hell would I buy equipment!"

He looked at Alisa and suddenly smiled. "Miss Alisa, I heard you like to gamble?"

Alisa was startled. "How did you know?"

"I not only know you like to gamble, but I also know you lost thirty million USD in Las Vegas last month. You haven't settled that debt yet, have you?" Lin Fan threw out a piece of intel he'd gotten from Zhou Ming.

Alisa's expression changed slightly. "What do you want?"

"Let's make a bet." Lin Fan took out a Black Card from his pocket and slapped it on the table. "There's ten billion RMB in here. I'll bet this ten billion against the die-casting machines in your hands."

Alisa's eyes lit up. Ten billion! If she won, she could not only settle her debts but also firmly establish herself within the family!

"How do we bet?" Alisa's breathing quickened slightly.

"Let's bet on the simplest thing: rolling dice, comparing the totals. One round to decide it all." Lin Fan pointed to the dice cup on the table.

"Fine! I'll bet with you!" Alisa agreed without hesitation. She was very confident in her gambling skills, and besides, this was her territory.

Alisa picked up the dice cup and shook it rapidly with both hands. The dice made a crisp clattering sound inside. She slammed the cup onto the table and looked at Lin Fan provocatively.

"You guess first."

Lin Fan didn't even look. "Three sixes, a leopard."

Alisa's face turned pale. She clearly shook a small total like one-two-three; how could it be a leopard?

Refusing to believe it, she lifted the dice cup.

Three bright red sixes lay quietly inside.

Alisa gasped. She looked at Lin Fan as if he were a ghost. "You cheated!"

"Miss Alisa, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. The dice are yours, the cup is yours, and I haven't even touched them. Which eye saw me cheat?" Lin Fan leaned back on the sofa, looking playful.

The God-level Gambling Technique not only allowed him to control the points he rolled but also use internal energy to change the opponent's points from a distance. What did this foreign filly have to play against him?

"You lost." Lin Fan tapped the table. "The equipment is mine. By the way, pour me a glass of wine."

Alisa bit her lip and stared intently at Lin Fan. She knew she had met a true master. After years in the capital circles, she understood one principle best: accept your losses.

She went to the wine cabinet, poured a glass of red wine, walked to Lin Fan, and leaned down slightly to hand it to him. "Chairman Lin, you win. The equipment will be released tomorrow."

"Ding! Mission accomplished. Rewards have been issued."

Lin Fan took the glass and downed it in one go. He stood up, walked to Alisa, and reached out to wrap his arm around her slender waist. "Miss Alisa, whatever the Chen family can give you, I, Lin Fan, can give you too. And I can give you much more than they ever could."

Alisa's body stiffened, but she didn't pull away. She looked into Lin Fan's deep eyes and suddenly smiled. "Chairman Lin, are you recruiting me?"

"You could put it that way. If Roland Capital's representative in China is one of my own, communication will be much more convenient." The strength in Lin Fan's hand increased slightly.

Alisa leaned into Lin Fan, tracing circles on his chest with her finger. "Chairman Lin, making me one of your own comes with a price. Aren't you afraid your wives at home will be jealous?"

"That's none of your concern." Lin Fan let go. "Once the equipment is delivered to the factory tomorrow, I'll give you a cooperation proposal you can't refuse."

After saying that, Lin Fan left the box with Leng Yue.

Alisa watched Lin Fan's departing back and licked her red lips. "Lin Fan... what an interesting man."
