97 Win Two Million with One Hundred Thousand (1/2)

The group of men who were assaulting Sun Jian'nan now surrounded Xiao Luo with unkind expressions on their faces. Manager Geng only had to give the word, and they would provide Xiao Luo with a taste of their punches.

Sun Yu wiped the tears from her eyes, glancing at Xiao Luo in a daze. She felt as though a bottle of five flavors had spilled in her heart. Her emotions were a mix of sourness, bitterness, spiciness, and saltiness. Only a trace of sweetness was missing.

She had just met Xiao Luo today, and to have something like this happen before they'd gotten to know each other better made her feel extremely embarrassed. She was at a loss for what to do. The gambling debt of two million that her uncle owed was far too massive a sum, and she did not have the kind of money needed to pay it off. However, she also could not sit by and watch as her uncle was beaten to death, much less drag Xiao Luo into this whole mess!

Sun Jian'nan's face was bruised and swollen. A trace of blood stained the corner of his mouth. Seeing a young stranger standing up for him, he said, ”Young man, I appreciate your help, but this is my problem. Please stay out of it.”

As a regular at the casino, he knew what these men were capable of. They were like devils who devoured people whole, and he did not want Xiao Luo to come to any harm for his sake.

Manager Geng sneered, ”You hear that? The man doesn't want your help. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. So how about you delete that video now and get out of here as far as you can!”

These people were hardened thugs, and threatening to call the police did not faze them.

Realizing that he was getting nowhere, Xiao Luo changed tacks and asked, ”How much does he owe you?”

”Two million!” Manager Geng replied, holding up two fingers. His eyes narrowed in a mischievous smirk. ”Why? You want to pay up for him?”

”I don't even know this man, so why would I pay his debts? Even if I wanted to, I don't have that much money,” Xiao Luo reasoned, before offering his counterpoint: ”I do, however, know this man's niece. Now that I have gotten involved, I can't just walk away from this.”

Manager Geng and his seven underlings looked at Xiao Luo like he was an idiot, thinking to themselves, Look at this big-shot talk. Who does he think he is? 'I can't just walk away'? This is just a poor kid talking out of his a*s.

”Debts must be repaid. We have every right to claim what is owed to us. What do you think you can do about it?” Manager Geng laughed coldly.

”Give me half an hour. I'll get you two million in chips and settle his debt,” Xiao Luo replied.

He could have used violence to rescue Sun Yu's uncle. However, the people running the casinos were part of the local underground and would not give up so easily. He might be able to stop them once, but he would not be around all the time. The simplest way to resolve this issue was to clear the debt between the two parties, once and for all.

Manager Geng was a sharp man, and he regained his composure quickly. ”You mean you want to come to our casino to play a few hands and win two million in chips?”

”What, am I not qualified to enter?” Xiao Luo retorted.

”Hehe. Of course, you are! As long as you're not a minor, it's no problem. However, do you have money to play?” Manager Geng's smile widened.

At high-end casinos like theirs, every dealer was a specially trained professional gambler. To even consider winning two million from gambling was a nonsensical idea. It was a ridiculous pipe dream.

The other seven men smiled in amusement. This was the funniest joke they had heard since they'd started working at the casino.

Xiao Luo pulled out a card from his pocket and said, ”There's a hundred thousand on this card. Is that enough to play at your casino?”

A hundred thousand?

Manager Geng was slightly taken aback before grinning in glee. ”Our minimum bet is ten thousand, so a hundred thousand is more than enough. Please, follow me.”

He made a welcoming gesture. If someone with money appeared on their doorstep, they had no reason to turn him away.
