Now, in the casino.
Under the vigilant and cautious gazes of many gamblers at the same table, Huai Shi held the cards in his hand, raised his eyes disdainfully, and looked at his opponent … the flower arrangement on the bar counter behind him.
"Brother, what cards does he have in his hand?"
"Why are you panicking? It's just two Jacks. "
The bouquet of plum blossoms that the flower master painstakingly made every day swayed twice excitedly. "A diamond and a heart. I can't beat you in seconds! Beat him, beat him! "
"Thanks, brother. I'll water you later."
"You're welcome!"
Huai Shi retracted his gaze and smiled evilly. He raised his hand and threw out two crystal chips. "I'll raise, 20 million!"
"…"
In the suffocating atmosphere, someone finally couldn't stand the huge pressure and stood up. "I fold."
Ignoring the chips he had bet on the table, he took his little capital and fled in a sorry state.
"That's it?"
Amidst the sound of gasps, the God of Gamblers, Huai Shi, looked around and smiled disdainfully.
How terrifying!
The surrounding gazes became more and more respectful and fearful, but unfortunately, they didn't have the guts to shout, "This guy must not be left alive."
This was probably the most common saying of "pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger" in Dongxia! In order to numb his opponent, he actually didn't hesitate to lose 4 million before the game started! Everyone was deceived by his harmless appearance, but they didn't expect that it was all an act!
He was scheming and scheming like the sea!
As expected of the Huai Shi Group that rose from the inner circle in just half a month, it was really terrifying!
"So, I've won again?"
Huai Shi lowered his head and looked at the chips in front of him that were about to drown him.
It was unbelievable.
In fact, until now, this fool still hadn't figured out the rules of five-card stud, Texas, and Blackjack. He had to rely on Qi Wen's reminders and instructions, as well as the help of the Stigmata.
Otherwise, not to mention playing cards, he would have lost the game long ago.
Until now, Huai Shi still didn't understand what was going on.
He didn't know why he won, and then he won repeatedly. Occasionally, he lost a little, but he immediately won back twice as much.
Was it so good to reap without sowing?
Huai Shi himself was stunned.
But even though he knew that these chips were just tokens for a short night and couldn't be exchanged for anything, he was still so excited that his face turned red. He couldn't wait to wave the chips and shout for more.
Looking at the group of idiots around them, they didn't know how to use their brains at all. Winning was simply too important.
Luck was on my side!
I can win again.
I can win until the end!
Only I am the ruler of this place!
Huai Shi's face flushed with excitement as a strong sense of confidence and impulse surged in his mind. He feverishly stroked the small mountain of chips in front of him.
But when he thought that he would have to give half of the money he earned to the black-hearted woman, his heart suddenly ached.
Wait, why would my heart hurt?
What's the difference between this unredeemable code and plastic?
Huai Shi was instantly alerted by the warning from the Book of Destiny. His smile froze on his face as he stood there in a daze.
What was going on?
"Hurry up and start."
"Hey, hurry up. Are you stupid?"
"Huai Shi, get out of the way if you don't want to play. Don't make people wait too long!"
The gamblers who squeezed over and sat down couldn't wait to urge him. They glared at the dazed man. Even the dealer looked over in confusion. "Mr. Huai Shi, can we start?"
"…"
In the silence, Huai Shi raised his head and looked at the faces that were filled with fanaticism and excitement. After a long time, he forced a smile.
"Sorry, I'm a little uncomfortable. Let's play first."
He got up and didn't even want to look at the large amount of chips that he had just received. He turned around and left.
In this casino that had become stuffy at some point, everyone's face seemed to have an illusory smile. The air was filled with greed that almost condensed into substance, silently boiling and enveloping everything.
Even if more and more people were being eliminated and losing everything, even if they didn't hesitate to bet their own businesses in exchange for useless chips for those illusory shares.
The stakes also began to grow larger and larger.
Even if they lost all their chips, they still stood by the gambling table and watched in anticipation.
Some people were extremely regretful. They felt that they were just a little bit away from success, but they were just unlucky.
And some people's faces were ashen, like walking corpses. They turned a blind eye to the luxurious service provided by the casino for free. They sat on the sofa in a daze with no focus in their eyes.
They were like walking corpses.
Huai Shi's movements paused for a moment. At the window, he suddenly turned his head and saw a swaying figure silently passing by in the night outside the window. The pale face reflected the night and neon lights.
Soon, it disappeared again.
There were only pools of blood that were quickly washed clean on the street.
On the street, whether it was shoppers with smiles on their faces, passers-by in a hurry, or even merchants with warm smiles, they all bypassed the blood under their feet and turned a blind eye.
They had long been accustomed to it.
The death of a few people didn't even cause a ripple. They were already swallowed by the shining neon lights and covered in darkness.
It was like walking into a modern meat processing workshop. They disappeared without a trace in the slaughter without seeing the blood. Even the pain was only for a moment …
Then, everything was over.
When Huai Shi turned his head again, he saw the scene in the corner.
Amidst the bustling atmosphere, a waiter walked over to an abandoned loser and handed him a letter. That person trembled as he held the paper. After a long time, he nodded with difficulty.
After returning the letter, he raised his hand and ordered a glass of whiskey. He tilted his head back and downed it in one gulp. Then, he stood up numbly and walked towards the rooftop … …
Not long after, the falling shadow once again passed by outside the window.
A muffled sound could be heard from the ground far away.
"Mr. Huai Shi."
At some point, Iza Suren appeared in front of him. Her smile was as beautiful as a peony. "Mr. Huai Shi, Lady Chiba invites you over."
After a long time, Huai Shi retracted his gaze from outside the window. "Lead the way."
"Please follow me."
Iza Suren glanced at him with a smile that wasn't a smile, then turned around and walked forward.
They passed through the lively casino and headed towards the secluded viewing room upstairs.
Under the cover of the hidden Origin Substance, the casino's atmosphere was as heated as ever. The ship of greed continued to sail across the abyss.
From beginning to end, Thousand Leaves Dragon Two had an intoxicated smile on his face. He leaned against the warm, fragrant jade and quietly watched everything unfold.
His eyes, which were immersed in alcohol and beauty, were completely unmoved.
Even if some of his loyal subordinates were among them … …
After a long time, the hunchbacked butler leaned over and whispered into his ear, "Master, the people on the chairman's list have all been taken care of."
Thousand Leaves Dragon Two turned around and glanced at him. After a long time, he nodded slightly. "When our people are buried, send some flowers on my behalf. Even though they've betrayed us, we still have to give them some face. "
"Then, what about the bet … …" the butler asked.
"Isn't everyone having fun?" Thousand Leaves Dragon Two waved his hand casually. "Continue."
"Yes." The butler supported himself with his walking stick and silently retreated.
"Also, everyone else can leave as well." He stood up and put on his pants. He patted the butt next to him and smiled. "We'll continue playing later."
After watching the girls leave the room, he walked over to the wine cabinet and asked, "Do you want something to drink?"
"Please give me the innermost bottle of Yamazaki, the most expensive one."
Iza Suren, who had just entered, glanced at the innermost part of the cabinet. "I saw it."
"Where's Haiki-kun?"
"I'm fine with anything," Huai Shi replied.
"What do you mean by fine with anything?" Thousand Leaves Dragon Two scratched his head in frustration. "You're always giving me problems, Haiki-kun … … you're also a Yamazaki, right? This is a fifty-year-old good wine. "
He picked up the bottle and walked over, sitting across from them. He gestured for them to make themselves at home and poured himself half a glass after adding ice.
Thousand Leaves Dragon Two couldn't help but sigh when he saw Huai Shi's appearance. "You don't know how to play cards … … if I had known earlier, I would have thought of a way to get rid of you sooner. Haiki-kun, you almost ruined our alliance."
"I have to say, I don't know anything about this."
Huai Shi raised his head and looked outside the one-way glass. He saw those dazed faces in the boiling casino.
"They're all traitors, there's no need to care about them." Thousand Leaves Dragon Two said nonchalantly, "That old man, Sheng Tianmu, is too good at ordering people around. He always gives me some tricky jobs.
Although saying this may make you very sad, but Lord Huai Zhijun, the purpose of tonight's bet is not as simple as you think. “
At this point, how could Huai Shi not understand that this gamble was a way for the Alliance to get rid of the root of the problem?
"At this juncture, we can't be too rough, and we can't shake the foundation of the alliance. However, there are still many traitors … …"
Thousand Leaves Dragon Two sighed softly. "This is the only way."
Tonight's Empire Casino was the guillotine for traitors.
They used the shares of the casino to lure everyone into it. Then, they used other methods to guide the traitors on the list to put a noose on themselves. They used the gambling method to legitimately take back the alliance's assets.
In the end, after losing everything, there was only one outcome for those who owed a huge debt and had nowhere to go.
On the rooftop.
"Let me reintroduce you."
Thousand Leaves Dragon Two looked at Izaru beside him. "This is Ms. Izaru Mulian, a cleaning expert from the Graveyard of the Returnless, 'Ship of Greed'. Tonight's bet was also her doing. She played a big part in making it so successful."
"You're too kind, Thousand Leaves Dragon Two."
Izaru Mulian smiled and said, "What a pity. I wanted to see Haiki-kun run naked."
Even she didn't expect that the originally stable plan would almost fail.
Everything developed as expected. The only exception was … … the dumbfounded Huai Shi in front of her.
"So you're all playing me?!" Huai Shi finally reacted.
"It wasn't supposed to be like this."
Thousand Leaves Dragon Two looked at Huai Shi with a faint smile. "I've already tested you. I even asked Izaru to check on you. In the end, I found out that you don't know anything … … Who would've thought that you were hiding something?"
"I'm sorry, Huai Shi. I'm afraid I can't let you continue. I can't give you all the benefits."
Thousand Leaves Dragon Two didn't hide anything. "I've already decided to give the shares of the casino to the Luohe Family. The winner of this bet has already been arranged."
Huai Shi was dumbfounded.
So, the winner had already been blackmailed before the bet even started?
"Then, didn't I come for nothing?!"
