Tang Li's "I don't want to play anymore" made everyone dumbfounded. It was as if cold water had been poured over the lively atmosphere of the scene. It instantly quieted down.
Tang Li, who was originally a sucker, became the biggest winner, earning 500 million. Gu lost four rounds in a row, earning a total of 480 million. Although only 120 million was given to him by Ning Cheng, he was still the biggest loser. In just the time it took to drink a cup of tea, he lost 360 million. As the banker, Thousand Gold Hall only lost about 100 million.
In other words, most of the money that Tang Li won was from Gu.
After Gu heard the attendant's words, he looked up at Ning Cheng on the second floor without hesitation. Ning Cheng had already retreated to the inside of the stands, so no one could see him. Gu was actually having a lot of fun next door. He was attracted by the commotion in Thousand Gold Hall and wanted to join in the fun and have more fun. Although he had lost 120 million chips to Ning Cheng, he was willing to accept his loss. If Uncle Cheng hadn't cheated, he would have been willing to lose his money.
However, in these four rounds, Uncle Cheng cheated in every round and specifically cheated him. How could he not be angry?
He did not care that his money was won by Tang Li. He was determined to win by Thousand Gold Hall and Ning Cheng, the big banker. Ning Cheng sent someone to ask him to go back and give him back his money? No way! His mood for gambling was disturbed. If he did not cheat back a few times, he would not be Gu!
Uncle Cheng saw that the situation had taken a turn for the worse and didn't dare to keep playing. Gu Qishao was a man without principles and never played his cards according to common sense. If he really did get angry, he'd go against the gambling house and drag on the matter of Blacktower for Heaven knows how long. Although the 300 million that Gu lost was a large amount, Thousand Gold Hall could still afford it.
For the sake of the overall situation, they spent money to avoid disaster. As for Tang Li, it was a pity that he missed such a good opportunity. He could only settle the score with him in the future.
Uncle Cheng didn't know what Ning Cheng was thinking. In this situation, he could only make the decision to keep the peace. Although this was not in line with the casino's style, who asked them to run into Gu?
"Hehe, since Young Master Tang isn't playing anymore, please take a rest. We'll start again after the time it takes to brew a cup of tea," Uncle Cheng said. He had to buy some time to talk to Gu alone.
Gu looked over and smiled disdainfully. "What? Are you afraid that this young master can't afford to lose?"
"No, no, no, it's just that Young Master Tang has left the stage, we also …"
Before Uncle Cheng could finish his words, Gu threw the last gold card in front of Uncle Cheng. "This young master wants to change the gambling method, with real money! This card of mine doesn't have a limit. If you win, this card belongs to you. If you lose, go back and ask your master for a card as compensation! "
Everyone's eyes lit up at the mention of a limitless gold card. Cloud Realm Continent's gold cards could be used anywhere and had different levels. The highest level was the limitless gold card. It was the equivalent of a limitless credit card with no limit. You could spend as much as you wanted, and the money you spent would become the card owner's debt. Naturally, the private bank would demand payment from the card owner.
There were only about 10 limitless gold cards in all of Cloud Realm Continent. It wasn't easy to get a limitless gold card like this. Unless one had enough assets and wealth, the big banks wouldn't let them pass.
Tang Li had just broken a new record in the Three-Way Black Market when Gu immediately broke it. Not only was he the first to bet extravagantly, he was also the one who lost the most money in a single day. He'd even broken the casino's rules and used his gold card as a wager.
At first, no one wanted to find out what kind of face or identity was hidden under that golden mask, but at this moment, everyone was extremely curious.
"Looks like he's not an actor … what's his background?" Han Yunxi was filled with doubts. She'd seen plenty of gold cards over the years, but she only knew of two limitless ones. One was used by Long Fei Ye himself, while the other was given to her by Long Fei Ye when he took her to Medicine City for the first time.
Long Fei Ye looked at the black-robed, golden-masked man with interest, a flash of admiration in his eyes. Actually, he'd already lost interest in the pile of chips before, so he was more interested in gambling with a gold card.
It had to be said that Uncle Cheng was also moved by Gu's limitless gold card. After all, there were only 10 such cards in all of Cloud Realm Continent, while Cloud Realm Trade Consortium only had three.
Tang Li, who was about to exchange the chips for silver notes with Ning Jing, turned back as well. He even sympathized with the black-robed man. He was sure to be targeted by the loan sharks of the casino. If this continued, he'd end up with a lifetime of debt.
Of course, sympathy was one thing, but Tang Li didn't turn back to remind him. He didn't feel any guilt, either. Everything at the gambling table was done willingly, so he couldn't blame anyone else. If he had so many complaints, he shouldn't have gone to the gambling table at all. Even now, he was still holding Ning Jing's hand tightly in a happy mood. Tonight, Ning Jing had tugged at him multiple times to remind him that Ning Jing was his wife on the same boat as him.
In a low voice, he asked, "Jing Jing, is there 500 million in the storehouse you want to steal?"
"There isn't." Ning Jing replied simply. She'd even forgotten that she'd made up a lie to steal the storehouse, or that she was supposed to escape from the black market tonight.
Was it a fortune or a misfortune that the liar had even tricked herself?
Tang Li and Ning Jing gradually distanced themselves from the gambling table. Everyone was attracted by Gu's limitless gold card, while Ning Cheng stared coldly at the couple from the second floor.
Ning Cheng could afford to lose 500 million. What shocked him was that Gu had interfered, while his face turned ashen at losing the perfect chance to deal with Tang Li. After some hesitation, his eyes flashed with ruthlessness. In a low voice, he ordered the attendant by his side, "Have Head Elder show himself and bring Miss Jing and the son-in-law to the Harmony Hall for tea. Without my orders, they're not allowed to leave Myriad Merchant Hall."
The situation in Northern Li was growing more and more tense. They had a way to lure Bai Yanqing to Blacktower as well. If everything went smoothly, then Eastern and Western Qin would be at each other's throats again in less than a month. He'd continue to use the Tang Clan's assassination weapons as support. Since Tang Li had come to his turf, how could he let him go so easily?
If Head Elder didn't let Ning Jing and Tang Li leave, Ning Jing should know what he meant.
"Yes!" the attendant left in a hurry.
Ning Cheng looked towards the gambling table. Uncle Cheng still hadn't replied to Gu, but Gu was already hooting.
"What, are you afraid that this young master can't afford to lose, or that your Thousand Gold Pavilion can't afford to pay up?"
"Heheh, your Myriad Merchant Hall's Thousand Gold Pavilion claims to be Cloud Realm Continent's number one gambling house. Don't tell me you don't even have the guts to accept a single gold card? Do you want to bet or not? If not, this young master's going to Golden Wing Hall! "
Day and night, the casinos that raked in money hated Gu Qishao's antics the most. Gambling houses were the wealthiest places in the world. If a gambler wanted to gamble extravagantly, shouldn't they welcome him with open arms? How could they be afraid? Once they were afraid, they'd doubt the gambling house's wealth. That was the most fatal flaw.
Gu Qishao only muttered a few words before the surrounding gamblers all chimed in.
"What's wrong with Thousand Gold Pavilion? Can't they afford a single limitless gold card? If they can't afford it, then don't open a gambling house! "
"Pah! I never expected Thousand Gold Pavilion to be such cowards. Boring, boring! This old man's done playing! "
"Heheh, if this old man wants to win billions one day, Thousand Gold Pavilion won't refuse to pay up, right? So boring, so boring! Everyone leave, this place isn't fun! "
… …
The limitless gold card was a big deal. Moreover, Gu seemed like he'd continue gambling extravagantly no matter who won or lost. Uncle Cheng couldn't make the decision anymore, so he'd long sent an attendant to ask for instructions from Ning Cheng.
He pacified the crowd as he waited anxiously. But it wasn't an attendant who showed up, but a gray-robed man.
As soon as he arrived, he attracted everyone's attention. He was a tall, thin man with a sharp, angular face. His nose was especially high, and his short, golden hair was very eye-catching. At a glance, one could tell that he was from a foreign race on the outskirts of Cloud Realm Continent.
He wasn't thin, but neither was he thin because of his illness. Instead, he looked like he was "suffering." However, his eyes didn't show any signs of suffering. Under the gazes of the crowd, he didn't place anyone in his eyes. Instead, he walked step by step to Uncle Cheng's side.
There were three types of men in this world who could attract countless onlookers just by standing in a crowd. The first type was men like Long Fei Ye, who were naturally noble and domineering. Lofty and aloof, he didn't need to be angry to make others revere him and fear him. The second type was men like Gu, who kept a high profile. His peerlessly beautiful face and harsh words made it impossible not to pay attention to him. The third type was men like this man before them. Although he didn't have Long Fei Ye's aura or Gu's high profile, people couldn't take their eyes off him as soon as he appeared.
As soon as he arrived, Uncle Cheng's heart settled back into his chest as he set his mind at ease.
He nodded at Uncle Cheng before Uncle Cheng relaxed and left.
"What's the meaning of this? You're leaving because you can't afford to gamble? "Gu had a lot of complaints about Uncle Cheng's cheating ways.
"This young master, the dealer does not have the qualifications to change the rules, so this table will be taken over by me. I am the Thousand Gold Hall's deacon. My name is Ah Jin."
Manager Jin was polite but humble. His smile was unfathomable, and he was very professional. But even so, Han Yunxi could still see a trace of unruliness in his eyes. Han Yunxi knew that this guy was not as well-behaved as he looked on the surface.
Mu Ling 'er was also staring at Deacon Jin. She never thought that there would be a man as beautiful as Qi Brother in this world. Deacon Jin's beauty was different from Gu's beauty. He was purely good looking and handsome. Mu Ling 'er suddenly wanted to know what Deacon Jin looked like when he smiled. But one thing she was sure of was that no matter what, Deacon Jin would not be better looking than Qi Brother.
Those who often came to Thousand Gold Hall to play had heard that the Thousand Gold Hall's deacon was an extremely skilled gambler, but almost no one had seen him before. Deacon Jin's arrival made the people present quiet down. Everyone was amazed at his young age.
"Have you seen this person before?" Han Yunxi asked in a low voice.
"I've heard of him. He's a foreign orphan with unknown origins." Long Fei Ye said in a low voice.
Gu did not care who the newcomer was. He asked unhappily, "So you're saying that you have the qualifications to change the rules?"
"Yes." Deacon Jin calmly replied.
Gu pulled out a chair and sat down. "Good, let's play the simplest game. Let's see who's bigger!"
