Meizhi Casino.
Hong Dali and the others continued downstairs. In a private room for resting nearby.
“En, Young Master? It seems we have a super sucker here today. This young man is so generous. Haha.”
This came from a middle-aged man in his fifties. He looked like a regular Earthling. The only difference was his two eye teeth which were longer than that of people from Earth. His eyes were red and he had the bearing of one from a powerful family.
He had both arms around two beautiful young ladies, one on each side. Both ladies were leaning against his chest and they were touching his chest gently with their soft and supple hands. One of them smiled and said, “Fifth Lord, this young man looks like a white and tender boiled chicken drumstick. He must taste really succulent.”
The words of the girl really pleased Fifth Lord. Fifth Lord patted the girl’s shoulder, stood up, walked to the door and leaned on the door frame. He gave a sinister smile and said, “Such naive fresh meat, I naturally have to make a killing off him. Anyway, this is a casino. Even if I do nothing, I don’t think other people will let him leave so easily. However, I’m very much interested in finding out his identity. Do you think this little fella is the son of some influential family who has come out for some fun?”
His words were affirmed by the two girls. The other girl nodded gently and said, “Fifth Lord, I think a young man who dares to throw 10 million down so casually must have a considerable background. We better play safe and find out more about him before acting.”
This girl was in her early twenties. She had a beautiful oval face and, although young, was very graceful. On her neck was a platinum necklace that looked expensive, especially the huge gemstone in the middle. It was red and shiny. If an expert saw it, they would definitely be surprised that such a delicate and slender girl would be wearing a top-grade Strength +12 gem.
“Haha, that makes sense!” Fifth Lord laughed and said, “My little rose is always so dependable. Yes, I agree with you. We have to find out about this young man’s background before we act. Otherwise, if he turns out to be very powerful, then we will be in trouble.”
Anybody who could come here was not ordinary. Someone who would throw 10 million down like Hong Dali naturally would have come from a considerable background.
So, Fifth Lord decided to wait and see, then act according to the situation.
He had been in the triad for such a long time. He was able to stay around for such a long time until he dominated the entire underworld thirty kilometers around St. Homburg Grand Hotel. It was all because of the following words.
Be careful, be cruel.
“What do you think of the ability of the men around him?” Fifth Lord asked again.
“The woman in the black dress is the strongest.” “Little Rose” smiled. “Just go straight to her.”
…
“Young Master, this is it. This is the place that really got me down!” Lucifer pointed at the hall in front of him. “The game they play is similar to Poker. Young Master, you will definitely know how to play!”
Hong Dali had played such a big hand and now everyone was very curious about him. When Hong Dali just got here, about a dozen people followed him. Now, there were dozens of people following him—after all, rich young masters like him who put 10 million down at one go were rarely seen.
“Oh, that’s simple.” Hong Dali did not even think twice and went straight into the room. He sat down on chair number two as soon as he entered.
The nine lackeys stood behind Hong Dali. Li Nianwei, Tang Muxin, and Zhang Yi stood next to Hong Dali. Lucifer stood aside to watch the game, and the owner of the bar, Elentina, together with the five waitresses she brought along, waved flags and cheered for Hong Dali.
Since there was a super prodigal here today, everyone who was anybody and who had confidence in their card skills were seated.
The dealer started dealing the cards.
Poker was actually was a test of luck and a test of guts. Unfortunately, all of this had no effect on Hong Dali.
“Just bet 50,000 first.” Hong Dali did not care how the game was played. As long as he could put money down, he simply followed. Poker was not a game where small amounts were won and lost. Just like that, he lost three million in a short period of time.
Looking at the five additional attribute points on the system panel, Hong Dali smiled widely. “Not bad, not bad. Speaking of which, it’s a good idea to find a casino when I run out of attribute points. Between the Zerg game and this, I managed to squander five million in just a short time. It’s pretty fast!”
After all, he had been back on the Silver-blue super-planet for a few days already. During this time, he had not squandered at all and his attribute points had all been used up. Three points had also been deducted from his basic points of one hundred. Now that he had these five points, he had to top it up quickly!
Now, Hong Dali would really die if he did not squander, but those watching did not know that. They commented—
“Look, look, he is really a big prodigal. He came here to lose money on purpose, isn’t it? He follows everything!”
“Yeah, if it weren’t because his luck is quite good, he would have lost at least 10 million! Eh, why don’t we play with him?”
“I think we can. Anyway, he never looks at his cards!”
Listening to the opinions of the onlookers, Lucifer was really in awe. It really was true that not everyone could be a prodigal. He had to have skin as thick as that of a Golden Emperor Beetle like Hong Dali to be able to do it! Otherwise, most people would not be able to tolerate other people saying things like that about them!
At this time, Elentina carefully leaned toward Tang Muxin and said in a small voice, “This… little sister, does Young Master gamble just to lose? Playing like he is… he will lose a lot of money!”
Even she felt heartache watching him lose.
That was more than three million, it was not a small amount. How much was her bar worth? It was worth just about 16 million.
“Dali?” Tang Muxin was not worried at all. Anyway, squandering was good for Hong Dali’s health. If he lost a bit, so be it. They were not short of that bit of money, anyway. So the little lass replied with a smile, “Ah, it’s just a game. It does not matter as long as he likes it. Anyway, we are not short of that bit of money.”
Elentina was dumbstruck.
Anyway, we are not short of that bit of money. You hear that? How cool was that?
More than three million dollars, that bit of money?
At this time there were already at least 30 people in the room wanting to play with Hong Dali. A few people who were obviously from influential families joined the crowd. After all, someone like this who had obviously made up their minds to lose money was not usually seen.
“Ah, so many people?” Hong Dali looked around, feeling a little warm. He pushed the cards in front of him away and said, “I don’t want to play anymore. This table is too small, it’s so boring. Let’s go play something else.”
In just a while, Hong Dali lost another two million playing poker. In total, he had already lost over five million, and everyone had already figured out his playing style. All of them were smiling—judging by his reaction, he thought that Poker was not exciting enough, he was not losing money fast enough!
How could he resist such a good opportunity?
So, the server nodded his head and asked, “In that case, Young Master, what game do you want to play?”
“Well, is there a game that is suitable for many people?” Hong Dali touched his chin. “It’s not fun enough to play like this. It’s not interesting. The scale is too small! Too small!”
Did you see that? He wanted to play something on a bigger scale!
In a place like a casino, it was okay to have money, you’d only be worried if you had none! As long as you had the money, you could play however you wished. Basically, you could gamble on the color of a woman’s underwear if you wanted!
“Yes! Definitely!” The server hurriedly said, “We have all kinds of gambling games here. I don’t know if Young Master wants games that are exciting to watch or games where he can win or lose a lot?”
There were games which were exciting to watch and games where you could win or lose a bigger amount of money? What was going on?
“What games are exciting to watch?” Hong Dali asked.
“Exciting games would be spectating Thunder Battle Arena matches.” This was a rich man in front of him. The server obviously had to explain to Hong Dali in detail. “Matches in the Thunder Arena are divided into duels and deathmatches. In a duel, the set-up is smaller. Once one side admits defeat, the match is over. There are only three things you can bet on—win, lose and draw. Deathmatches are more exciting, more satisfying! It’s a life and death situation for the people who enter the arena. Only one can leave alive. It’s not like other games.”
“Damn! It’s so cruel!” Hong Dali immediately opened his eyes wide. “This deathmatch is a bit too bloody, it’s not suitable for me.” All the women around nodded. After all, in a deathmatch, one had to die before the match ended. It was too bloody for most people. So, Hong Dali shook his head decisively. “This is not good, is there anything else?”
Just as he said this, a low voice said, “Little brother, actually, gambling is very simple. It’s easy to let many people play. Let’s just see who wins and who loses. Wouldn’t that do?”
Hong Dali turned around to look. It was a man who was in his fifties, and he had a beauty in both his arms. He smiled at Hong Dali and his two sharp eye teeth were exposed.
He was quite cute.
“Uncle, this is a good suggestion.” Hong Dali asked with a big smile, “Tell us, how do we do that?”
“The rules are very simple.” The middle-aged uncle smiled and pushed the woman next to him out a step. He said, “This is my woman. She has learned some martial arts. You will also send a woman out, and we’ll see who wins. That’s all.”
As he said that, the entire room collectively sucked in a breath of cold air.
This middle-aged man was the number one man in the underworld within 30 kilometers of them, Fifth Lord! Years ago, Fifth Lord destroyed a countless number of his fellow triad members with blood and metal. And the woman in his arms was exclusively his. She was his top fighter. Her ability was equivalent to that of a Fourth-Order Planet Warrior, Sabrina.
When Fifth Lord unified the underworld around here, Sabrina played a huge part. She was nicknamed “Fire Rose”. If anyone touched her, they would be like the moth which flew into the fire. They never returned alive!
“Yes, yes, this is a good suggestion.” At this time, a few other people appeared around Fifth Lord. One of them smiled and said, “Watching women fight is always a ten on the scale. Even if we lose, we at least get a good eyeful, isn’t it?”
Hong Dali turned his head and looked. It was a man in his forties with dark green skin, and eyes similar to that of a snake. His pupils were striped, and a scarlet tongue darted out from time to time, like a large lizard.
A few other people were beside him, all of whom seemed to be the same kind of people. They were obviously there to join in the fun.
“Just for fun, I bet five million.” The lizard man laughed. “What do you think?”
Tang Muxin and Zhang Yi stared at each other, then they both laughed.
There was a type of good person. He was your enemy, but regardless of the distance, he simply had to send the good stuff your way. We generally have a very romantic description of such an occurrence.
Sending heads from thousands of miles away.
