*Boom!!!*
Every Black Gang associate felt like they were struck by lightning; dazed, their eyes turned blank. The faint-hearted ones even fainted on the spot!
“This… How is this possible? That bastard just drew the best card casually! I can’t believe it… It’s just not possible…”
“I’m doomed… I’m done for… I’ve lost everything…”
“I didn’t just give up everything – I even borrowed money from loan sharks! I’m going to die!”
“That Ace of Spades has bankrupted us, and then some!”
“Boss! Stop the transaction! You can’t let the money flow into his account even if it’s underhanded!”
“That’s right! We’re on international waters, we can do whatever we want!”
“That money belongs to us! Nobody can take it away!”
…….
Screams of hysteria filled the casino after Black Gang lost everything. With all their wealth at stake, they cared not about any Jianghu laws!
“You guys are a bunch f*ckers! That’s shameful! You guys are not real men!” Murong Xiaoyao frowned and scolded them like a little lion. She looked prepared to beat them up!
Fire Boss and Third Elder were fuming too, but Chen Xiaobei made a little wave to calm them.
*Blarrgghhh…*
In a flash, Qiu Hairui leaned over and started to vomit a stream of blood; his white outfit was soon dyed red like a bloody tampon – a horrendous scene! Beside him, Gu Caozhuo and Dongfang Hong’s faces were contorted; it almost appeared as if someone had just forced fed them a fresh, warm pile of feces!
It was the most frustrating moment in their lives; the trio regretted enforcing the instant winnings transfer rule. They had installed the system inside the casino in order to prevent Chen Xiaobei from pulling any cheap tricks; never did they expect their brilliant idea to backfire so completely!
Ding!
The system quickly identified that Chen Xiaobei held the best card, and automatically transferred the 1.8 billion pot into Chen Xiaobei’s account.
“Well! This is not bad; the gambling system is quite advanced! The money in my account now; I love it!” Chen Xiaobei looked at his cell phone in joy. He had been worried about his own bank account, but he earned nine hundred million within seconds! One card and he’s worth two billion and eight hundred million!
“You’ve got the money in your bank account already?” Murong Xiaoyao’s face lit up when she saw the smile on Chen’s face. She said, “Luckily this fat f*ck is a man of his words! I would have pounced and beat him up otherwise!”
“Amazing! My brother! Only Bro Bei has the guts to play such a terrifying game and still win!” The Fire Boss gaped at Chen Xiaobei as if he was a crazy fan.
Third Elder and the five elderly core members were extremely shocked as well; they kept nodding in approval while showering praise.
“This Xiaobei fellow is really something! I really can’t believe how he remained calm under such insane circumstances! He has the potential for greatness! Old men like us could never compare!”
Suddenly, the members of Black Gang stood up, prepared to kill Chen Xiaobei.
“Motherf*cker! How dare you take our money?! None of you are leaving this ship alive!”
“Kill them all! Chop them into pieces!”
“Chen Xiaobei! I’m going to slit you a thousand times!”
In the blink of an eye, Chen Xiaobei’s faction were surrounded by five hundred Black Gang’s members.
Completely taken by surprise, Third Elder and the core members were at a loss of what to do. Although Fire Boss had resolved to die in this gang dispute earlier, he was still stunned as his life came clearly under threat. Even the fearless Murong Xiaoyao trembled in the face of the legion; a hint of nervousness could be glimpsed from her spirited gaze.
Some of them were gang bosses, and part of them were elite fighters from different mobs! Their combat power should not be underestimated; Murong Xiaoyao herself did not have the confidence to take them all on at once.
However, Chen Xiaobei remained relaxed through it all, and was still seated at the table as he watched the scene around him unfold.
“Idiots! Did you guys leave your brains at home?” He mocked. “You people are not my children! You won’t get a single dime even if one of you actually manages to kill me! Use your brain cells and come up with something to recover your money!”
“This…”
Everyone turned silent at Chen Xiaobei’s words.
It was a fact that the winnings were now all inside Chen Xiaobei’s account, which password none of them knew. Killing him was meaningless; those who lost everything would still be broke after the fact.
“Everyone! If that’s the case, we should continue playing if we want our money back!” Qiu Hairui seethed in a deep voice. “Anyone who still have money – please chip in again! We are all on the same boat, and we shall win together this time! It’s our only chance!”
“The boss is right; We have to take back our money! Our hard-earned money!” Gu Caozhuo did his best to convince the crowd.
“I’ll be the first to cough up! Let’s transfer every dime we have to our boss’ account! Chen Xiaobei has used up all his luck just now, it’s impossible for him to get lucky again!” Dongfang Hong joined in and transferred the money to Qiu Hairui’s account.
It was apparent that the three of them were the biggest losers, which was they were so keen to have their own subordinates contribute just to play another hand against Chen Xiaobei! It was indeed a rule of thumb that people were greedy.
Soon, most of them had paid up and transferred any money they had left into Qiu Hairui’s account. They were burning to recoup their losses!
Meanwhile, Chen Xiaobei was glancing through his cellphone, unable to care less about the Black Gang.
He had received quite a few notifications from the Red Envelope Group after he received his winnings; the chat group was streaming endlessly with new messages when he entered.
Laotzu: Welcome the members of Chanism!!!
Jade Emperor: Welcome! Welcome!
Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King: Welcome! Welcome!
“The members of Chanism are here! It appears that the Primeval Lord of Heaven is going to announce the mission soon!” Chen Xiaobei was soon glued to the screen of his mobile device.
[Jiang Ziya, Shen Gongpao, Tu Xingshun, Lei Zhenzi has been added to the group!]
“Those are the top members of Chanism! They’re famous even amongst the League of Gods!” Chen Xiaobei thought excitedly.
[Guang Chenzi, Huanglong Zhenren, Taiyi Zhenren, Cihang Daoren, Yuding Zhenren has been added to the group!]
“Those are the twelve Golden Deities from Chanism! They are extremely powerful!” Chen Xiaobei thought even more excitedly.
[Randeng Daoren, Nanji Xianweng, Yun Zhongzi has been added into the chat group!]
“Damn! These guys are almost at the rank of Heavenly Saint! They are equivalent to the vice principals of a school! And the next deity is…” Chen Xiaobei gulped.
[The Primeval Lord of Heaven has been added to the chat group!]
