The seven or eight men who had been beating up Sun Jian 'nan surrounded Xiao Luo. They were waiting for Manager Geng's command to give Xiao Luo a taste of their fists.
Sun Yu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and stared at Xiao Luo in a daze. Her heart was filled with all sorts of emotions, except for the taste of sweetness.
She had just met Xiao Luo today, and they had not gotten to know each other well. Now that she had encountered this situation, she felt embarrassed. She did not know what to do. Her uncle owed two million dollars in gambling debt, and she did not have that much money to pay it back. However, she could not just stand by and watch her uncle get beaten to death. She did not want Xiao Luo to get involved in this mess.
Sun Jian 'nan's face was bruised and swollen, and there was even a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. When he saw an unfamiliar young man standing up for him, he said, "Little brother, thank you. This is my business. Please don't get involved …"
As a regular at the casino, he knew very well what these people were capable of. They were devils who ate people without spitting out the bones. He did not want to get Xiao Luo into trouble.
Manager Geng laughed. "Did you hear that? He doesn't want your help. Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Hurry up and delete the video, then get out of here as far as you can!"
These people were wily old foxes. Calling the police would not deter them at all.
Xiao Luo picked up the empty words and asked, "How much does he owe you?"
"Two million!"
Manager Geng raised two fingers, then narrowed his eyes and smiled playfully. "Why? Are you going to pay it back for him?"
"I am not related to him in any way. Why should I pay it back for him? Besides, I don't have that much money."
Xiao Luo said methodically, then changed the topic. "But I know his niece. Since this is happening, I can't just ignore it."
Manager Geng and the other seven men looked at him as if he was an idiot. They thought to themselves, 'Look at what he's saying. Those who don't know him might think he's some big shot. Can't just ignore it? You're just a poor kid. What are you talking about?'
"It's only right and proper to repay a debt. What do you want to do about it?" Manager Geng sneered.
"Give me half an hour. I'll give you two million in chips, and the debt he owes you will be erased," Xiao Luo said.
In fact, he could have used force to take Sun Yu's uncle away, but these casino owners were local tyrants, and they would definitely not give up. He could stop them for a while, but he could not stop them forever. The most fundamental solution was to eliminate the debt between them.
Manager Geng was a shrewd man, and he quickly regained his senses. "You want to play a few rounds in my casino and win two million in chips?"
"What? Am I not qualified to enter?" Xiao Luo retorted.
"Hehe … Of course, as long as you're of age, there won't be any problems. But … do you have money?" Manager Geng's smile grew wider.
In a high-class casino like theirs, every table had a banker who had undergone special training. Yet, he actually wanted to win two million by gambling. This was not nonsense. This was a daydream, or a dream of a thousand years.
The other seven men also had mocking smiles on their faces. This was the funniest joke they had ever heard since they started working in the casino.
Xiao Luo took out a card from his inner pocket. "There's a hundred thousand in here. Is that enough to enter your casino?"
A hundred thousand?
Manager Geng was stunned. Then, he laughed even harder. "The starting bet here is ten thousand. Of course, a hundred thousand is enough. Please come in."
He gestured for Xiao Luo to enter. There was no reason to refuse someone who offered money to enter.
"Brother Xiao Luo, don't go!"
At this moment, Sun Yu tugged on Xiao Luo's sleeve. Her delicate face was full of worry and embarrassment. "They specialize in gambling. You can't win against them. You must have saved up a hundred thousand to do something for yourself. Nine out of ten gamblers lose. You can't win if you go in. You'll lose it all. My uncle owes them two million. I'll find a way to settle it with my family. Brother Xiao Luo and I only met today. Brother Xiao Luo, you don't have to do this. "
How could she feel at ease when a man she had just met did so much for her?
Xiao Luo smiled. If he had stood up for Sun Yu just now because of his male chauvinism, now he had made up his mind to help Sun Yu. This girl was very down-to-earth and very pleasing to the eye.
"It's okay. I don't do things that I'm not sure of."
As he said this, a notification from the genius system sounded in his mind. [Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a gambling skill. 500 points have been consumed.]
"Haha … Heroes come from the young. This little brother is really generous. Please come in!"
Manager Geng laughed. Now that Xiao Luo was a customer, his attitude had changed 180 degrees. He whispered to his subordinates, "Watch Sun Jian 'nan. Don't let him run away."
A hundred thousand turned into two million. That was a twenty-fold increase. Was it possible? Of course, it was 200% impossible. Otherwise, he would have just announced the closure of the casino. In his mind, Xiao Luo was an idiot. Only an idiot would dream of turning a hundred thousand into two million through gambling.
Therefore, it was necessary to keep a close eye on Sun Jian 'nan!
"Let me go. I want to go in with you!" Sun Jian 'nan shouted after struggling for a while.
Manager Geng waved his hand, indicating for his subordinates to let go of Sun Jian 'nan.
The three of them going in together was exactly what he wanted. Firstly, he could keep an eye on Sun Jian 'nan. Secondly, he could see how the young man in front of him lost a hundred thousand yuan. His hard-earned money was gone in just a few minutes. Presumably, the expression on his face would be very interesting.
…
The interior of the casino was decorated like a palace. It could be described as magnificent. The floor was spotless, and one could even see their own reflections when walking on it.
Xiao Luo actually had more than 1.1 million yuan, but he understood the principle of not putting all his eggs in one basket. Therefore, the other one million yuan was not in the card in his hand. He entered the password and exchanged a hundred thousand yuan for gambling chips.
"Brother Xiao Luo, you're making me feel ashamed."
Sun Yu's heart was burning with anxiety. At the same time, she was very touched. But more than that, she felt uneasy. How could she drag Xiao Luo down with her when it came to her uncle's debt? Xiao Luo was not related to her.
"Little brother, it's not too late to stop now. A hundred thousand yuan is a large sum for ordinary people like us. Don't be impulsive. I'll bear the consequences of my own actions." Sun Jian 'nan's eyes were dejected.
Xiao Luo smiled but did not say anything.
Then, he walked straight to a table where the dice were guessing the size of the dice.
When he went over, he saw the numbers 1, 3, and 5 on the dice. The dealer closed the box and shook it. Closing his eyes, his ears immediately locked onto the frequency of the shaking inside the box. He carefully felt the rolling of the dice inside the box.
