Huai Shi lowered his head and looked at himself.
He was wearing a pair of comfortable gray pants, a T-shirt with the words "I love tan-ba" printed on it, and a pair of slippers that every boy loved.
Was there a problem?
He was confused from the bottom of his heart. He always wore this to the Jinling Astronomy Conference, so what was wrong with going to the Empire Casino?
"…"
Akasaki Makoto couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Whatever … Get in the car, it's almost time. The Empire Casino is closed for the day. "
"It's already closed, it's not just for me."
He got up, patted the dust off his body, and got into the car. "I don't understand you guys. It's only a ten-minute walk, but you still have to take a car. You guys have too much money to burn."
Akasaki Makoto rolled his eyes and was speechless.
The Empire Casino Hotel was not far from the Danbo Inner Circle. It stood in the middle of the busiest street in the entire Danbo Inner Circle, towering into the clouds. When countless neon lights lit up, the gorgeous lights shone in all directions, like a lighthouse for gamblers.
It was the only place in the dark area that shone with light.
There were no shacks or run-down streets here. It was clean and peaceful, as if they had come to another world. The bright streets were filled with warm smiles.
Those half-breed vagrants who looked ragged and ruined the appearance of the city couldn't walk within two streets at all. Under the unified control of the five big shots, this place had always been the most glamorous place in Danbo's inner circle. At the same time, it was also a place to earn huge amounts of money from the outside world.
It was as if they had come to another world in a trance.
Everything was so dazzling, and even the air was filled with a strong fragrance.
Behind the fountain square, on the towering steps, a magnificent door slowly opened. Mixed-Race attendants who were specially selected for their appearance respectfully welcomed the two into the huge hall.
A huge crystal lamp hung from the specially raised ceiling, and it shone evenly, illuminating the huge and exquisite oil paintings around them.
The sound of a piano echoed in the sound of a gurgling stream.
Her sweet laughter filled his ears.
Huai Shi froze in place, her eyes widening in confusion.
"I should have told you to change your clothes." Akasaki Makoto couldn't help but sigh. "Now it's awkward, isn't it?"
In the entire hall, Huai Shi was the only one who was wearing a T-shirt and shorts. He felt the countless strange gazes around him.
When he turned around and looked around, he saw beautiful women in the lounge area of the hall. Some were mature and elegant, some were sweet and fragrant, and all of them were dressed differently.
They were scattered on the sofa. Their curvaceous bodies were accentuated by their hot or conservative clothes. Their eyes seemed to be smiling, and when they swept their eyes around, it was a spring scene that made one's heart flutter.
"Hey, don't act like you haven't seen the world."
Akasaki Makoto bumped Huai Shi's shoulder and reminded him sternly, "Don't let me find out that you've done anything wrong to Miss Rika, or else I won't let you off!"
Huai Shi was dumbfounded.
I f * cking want to not let her down too!
Why don't you ask if 'she' can not let me down?!
Alright, now he finally understood why Akasaki Makoto didn't like him. It turned out that he was Miss Rika's loyal bootlicker. He should really get to know Miss Rika better and compare their strengths … If he had done this earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble.
Huai Shi rolled his eyes and retracted his gaze. He sighed. "There are so many rich and beautiful ladies. Who said that mixed-race people are poor?"
"Hehe, do you really think they're customers here?" Akasaki Makoto snorted.
Huai Shi paused and turned around. He saw a few people leaning on others and hugging each other as they walked towards the elevator.
Even though he knew that in Yingzhou, customs were legal, Huai Shi couldn't react in time.
They weren't customers … they were merchandise.
"The Luohe family's business?" Huai Shi asked.
Akasaki Makoto glanced back. "The Luohe family's business hasn't fallen to this extent. They're all upstairs. The ones in the hall are all done by themselves."
The elevator door closed.
They ascended quickly.
After the attendant swiped his card, they went all the way up and soon arrived at the entrance of the casino. After verifying their identities, the entrance that was no longer open to the public actually opened.
It was noisy inside the huge venue. However, there was a fierce aura coming and going. They didn't seem to be good people.
They were all extreme.
This was the only property that the Chiba family had taken out this time — 9% of the shares of the Empire Hotel Casino. Even if it was just this one share, it was better than the countless pieces of land that the Huangchuan family had distributed.
The Empire Hotel itself wasn't affiliated or allied. The Chiba family had only used this piece of good land as a stepping stone to buy 9% of the casino's shares with a huge amount of money.
Moreover, other than the annual share, they had no other power.
Just by looking at this, one could tell how huge the capital behind this was.
In the shareholders' committee, other than a few people from the capital groups in Yokohama, the leading company in charge of operations and management was the world-famous Ancient Corporation.
As a giant in the tourism industry, in addition to their own travel routes, Ancient Corporation also operated many luxury hotels and special travel facilities. It wasn't strange that they would be involved in all travel-related businesses.
Back then, the Constellation was operated and managed by their family. Compared to such a big deal, this was just an inconspicuous subsidiary.
Ancient Corporation had more than a dozen similar hotels and casinos in America, Rome, Egypt, the Russian Federation, and other places …
The main shareholder behind such a huge company was the even more famous financial giant — Aeon Investment. The annual profit of these hotels was probably not as much as a few operators casually placing orders in the futures markets at various borders.
The seemingly huge Aeon Group was just a subsidiary organization of the Continuation Court that raised funds from the outside. It wasn't even on the Astronomical Society's list of organizations …
Behind the Continuation Court was the Astronomical Society that covered all the borders of the Modern Realm and even went deep into hell …
When Huai Shi's thoughts went up layer by layer and returned to the present from the perspective of the Astronomical Society, all the glory and brilliance of the extravagant scene in front of him seemed to dim in an instant. It was so small that it was no longer eye-catching.
But around this 10% share, the Extreme Daos of the entire inner circle of Danbo seemed to be boiling with excitement. They rubbed their hands together excitedly, even if they knew that they might not even have the chance to sit at the gambling table …
"Do you see it, Akasaki?"
Huai Shi couldn't help but sigh. "We are like ants."
Akasaki turned around in confusion and looked at him, but found that he wasn't looking at her. His gaze was drifting around the noisy casino, but she didn't know where his focus was.
Countless tiny ants gathered here. One was called Huai Chi, another was called Akasaki, and countless others with various names.
But no one cared.
They fought desperately for the small sugar cubes falling from the sky, as if they could become a noble king as long as they had it.
Even if they lived in silence and lit walnuts.
"This is ridiculous."
Huai Shi laughed self-deprecatingly and walked to the bar counter. "Shiranui, thank you."
"Oh, isn't this Huai Chi? And Akasaki! You two fought so fiercely before, but now you can sit quietly together? How strange. "
Chiba Ryuji walked out of the crowd, holding two beauties with different skin colors in his arms. He hugged them left and right, looking handsome and dissolute. He didn't seem to be reluctant to take out such a large property as a bet, and he was having more fun than anyone else.
"Are you also here to challenge our Izaki?"
He asked curiously.
"I don't dare, I'm just here to watch the fun." Akasaki replied respectfully.
"Hahaha, don't be so reserved, there are not so many rules in the casino." Chiba shook his head and laughed. "Since I took it out as a bet, I have no reason to take it back. But you have to be careful, our Izaki is very powerful, hahahaha."
After saying that, he laughed and invited them enthusiastically. "Let's go, I still have some empty seats. The gambling will start at eight o 'clock, we can play two rounds first."
"No, no."
The two hurriedly refused. Chiba didn't insist, he just raised his hand and snapped his fingers. He said to the bartender behind the table, "Get someone to give them two million in chips. If they lose tonight, it's on me …"
"Yes." The bartender turned around and reported.
Huai Shi was about to refuse, but he saw Chiba waving his hand indifferently. "Don't be so polite, it's just a little money. Didn't you help me a lot? Take it as a thank you gift. "
After saying that, he hummed a song and walked away with the girl in his arms.
Not long after, two stacks of golden chips were sent to the two of them.
In silence, the two of them looked at each other.
Akasaki asked, "By the way, are you very good at gambling?"
Huai Shi thought for a long time and asked seriously, "Does cheating count when playing Landlord?"
"Of course not!" Akasaki's whole person was not good, "What are you thinking in your head? If you cheat here, your hand will be chopped off! I thought you had a lot of confidence, but you didn't prepare at all. You just want to play this casino? "
"Maybe I'm lucky?"
Huai Shi answered with a trembling voice and grabbed it. "I'm the third place of the eighth round of the Turtle Draw in our village. Why can't I be considered a gambling god? Tonight, I'll show you what it means to take a gamble and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle … "
Without waiting for Akasaki to react, he walked to the table.
.
Twenty minutes later.
"Sir? Mr. Huai Shi? "The dealer lowered his head and looked at the young man behind the table." Are you okay? It's your turn to show your cards … "
"…"
Huai Shi lowered his head and looked at the last golden chip on the table. He raised his head and squeezed out a smile with difficulty. "Well, let me ask first."
He asked expectantly, "Do we have the rule of 'surrender and lose half'?"
