The earth-shattering gambling match concludes.
A series of System prompts ring out in Chu Xiao's mind.
Won big!
Really won big!
Chu Xiao says with a smile, "Brother Ye, Brother Long, shall we continue playing?"
Long Aotian: "...!"
Ye Fan: "...!"
Play?
Play my ass!
Ye Fan's face is as dark as water; he stands up and leaves without saying a word.
Long Aotian, on the other hand, offers a few polite pleasantries before leaving with a shred of dignity.
Beside the golden gambling table.
Looking at the mountain-high pile of chips, the surrounding people's breathing becomes ragged.
With so many chips, just grabbing a handful would be enough to last several lifetimes.
"Congratulations, Young Master Chu, you have won a total of 4.885 billion!"
After counting the chips on the table one by one, the casino attendant packs them into two large cases and brings them before Chu Xiao.
Chu Xiao casually picks up one case, places it in Pei Yimo's arms, and smiles, "This is yours!"
Feeling the heavy weight in her arms, Pei Yimo hurriedly shakes her head, puts the case back into Chu Xiao's hands, and says, "I can't take this! It's too much! It's billions!"
Chu Xiao is torn between laughter and tears: "Didn't we agree? If we lose, it's on me; if we win, we split it fifty-fifty!"
Pei Yimo firmly shakes her head: "No! My conscience won't let me take so much of your money! You should keep it yourself! In the future, just treat me to meals and buy me some gifts when you're free, that's enough!"
"You really don't want it?"
"Yeah! I don't want it!"
"If you don't want it, then I'll give it to all the gamblers present!"
"You... I'm really afraid of you! Give it here!"
Ultimately, Pei Yimo accepts the case of chips worth 2.4 billion and walks to the front desk to exchange them for money amidst the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes of everyone.
She knows that Chu Xiao never lies; if she didn't take the money, Chu Xiao would definitely open the case and scatter the chips to the gamblers present!
After all, Chu Xiao is a madman who treats money like dirt!
In the surveillance room.
Long Aotian stares at the image on the big screen, hands crossed, his eyes sinister like a venomous snake, remaining silent without a word.
Nearby, someone reminds him: "Brother Long! They went to exchange the money! Should we have the front desk delay them for a few days?"
Calling it delaying for a few days sounds nice.
In reality, it's welching on the debt!
This isn't the first time they've done this; in the past, whenever someone won a large amount of chips, they would have the front desk delay them for a few days.
And a few days later, the fool who won the money would vanish from the face of the earth!
Killing!
It's not just talk!
Long Aotian's eyes are deep; he sighs and grinds his teeth, saying: "Forget it! Let the front desk exchange it for them! I admit defeat today! I'm convinced of my loss!"
"Brother Long, that's 4.8 billion! Chu Xiao only used 10,000 to win this much; our losses alone are nearly 3 billion!..."
"Shut up! Do you think I don't know? Or are you saying you think the Chu Group is an easy target?"
"But!..."
"No buts. We cannot make a move on Chu Xiao now! Otherwise, it will mean... annihilation!"
The surveillance room falls quiet.
A few seconds later, the person operating the computer backend sighs and lowers their head, saying: "I understand, Brother Long!"
Long Aotian closes his eyes and admonishes: "In life, one must have a long-term perspective! We are just getting started; there will be plenty of opportunities to deal with him later! Consider that money temporarily deposited in their hands! Sooner or later, we will take it all back with interest!"
As he is speaking.
Suddenly, a cold sneer rings out.
"Hehehe! I really didn't expect that you are the owner of this casino!"
As the words fall.
The seven or eight people in the surveillance room are shocked, all pulling out their guns and pointing them toward the source of the voice, shouting: "Who!"
"Don't be agitated, I have no malicious intent! I just came to discuss a deal with your Brother Long!"
Ye Fan walks out from the corner, undetected.
"It's you!" Long Aotian narrows his eyes, grins and laughs out loud, opens his arms, stands up, and says: "So it's Brother Ye! Sit, sit! You all, put your guns away! Brother Ye is one of our own!"
Ye Fan sneers internally; if not for fearing Long Aotian's cultivation as a Martial Arts Grandmaster, he would have killed everyone here long ago and taken control of the entire casino.
Long Aotian offers him a cigar and asks with a smile: "I wonder what big business Brother Ye wants to discuss with me?"
Ye Fan lights the cigar and says: "I'll help you kill Chu Xiao! You give me back the 500 million I just exchanged! How about that!"
Hearing this.
Long Aotian immediately cannot help but laugh: "Did I hear that right? You want to kill Chu Xiao? Do you know who he is?"
Ye Fan says disdainfully: "Isn't he just a playboy second-generation rich kid from the Chu Group? Killing him is as easy as flipping my hand!"
Long Aotian narrows his eyes as if thinking, then suddenly says ominously: "I admire your courage, daring to come before me and say this! Aren't you worried that I'll capture you and send you to the Chu Group to claim a reward?"
Ye Fan feigns calmness: "You can do that! But you cannot bear the consequences!"
Long Aotian frowns: "What do you mean!"
Ye Fan smiles faintly: "To tell you the truth! I have already planted bombs in your casino. If you dare to make a move on me! I will make everyone go down with me! Including you!"
The air is silent for a few seconds.
The people in the surveillance room all show nervous expressions, and 5 of them immediately run out to gather men, wanting to find the bombs.
Long Aotian suddenly laughs out loud: "You're lying! You don't have any bombs at all!"
Ye Fan spreads his hands: "Suit yourself! I'm right here; if you want to capture me, you can do it now!"
Long Aotian falls silent. He stares at Ye Fan without saying a word, thinking to himself that although this person is an idiot, his actions are exceptionally ruthless; he might be worth befriending.
Letting this kid go assassinate Chu Xiao is fine too!
No matter who dies in the end!
What does it have to do with him, Long Aotian? Even if the Chu Group comes to hold him accountable, he can shift the blame completely.
Thinking of this, Long Aotian laughs out loud and says: "Notify the front desk! Only let Chu Xiao exchange half the chips! The rest! Give it to him in a few days!"
The young man in front of the computer curls the corner of his mouth and says: "Understood! Brother Long!"
"Brother Ye! Everything just now was a misunderstanding! Please don't take it to heart! Isn't it just 1 billion? If you can really kill Chu Xiao! I'll give you 2 billion!"
Long Aotian laughs.
In reality, he is sneering incessantly in his heart. Not to mention whether Ye Fan can actually kill Chu Xiao, even if he really does.
So what?
2 billion?
Don't even think about it!
Ye Fan seems to see through his thoughts and says indifferently: "Don't play any tricks. If I kill Chu Xiao and you welch on the debt, our conversation today will be passed to Chu Xiao's grandfather, word for word!"
Long Aotian raises an eyebrow and gives a dry laugh: "Brother Ye really thinks of people too sinisterly. If you had this kind of brain when playing cards, you wouldn't have lost to Chu Xiao. Rest assured, we are all in the Jianghu, and what counts is loyalty.
It's just that I'm curious, where did you get the guts to make a move on Chu Xiao? Aren't you afraid of the Chu Group's retaliation?"
Ye Fan takes a puff of the cigar and says with a cold, self-deprecating tone: "I'm different from you! You have a casino and a bunch of brothers to support! So you can't leave! But me! I'm alone! If the worst comes to the worst, I'll just kill Chu Xiao and fly far away!"
