Haris understood his current plight. Once he saw Li Du sitting there, sipping his coffee like an important guest, while Salman— who had been in cahoots with him—was stabbed in the thigh and whimpering on the ground, he could immediately tell his position in this matter.

He said truthfully, ”Sorry, buddy. I made a mistake this time. It was the Dog Ears that contacted me—Dog Ears Jeffery Rick. That fella’ asked me to set you up.”

”F*ck!” Hans couldn’t hold himself back, ”Dog Ears, that b*stard, couldn’t win against us fairly, so he played dirty.”

Haris said, ”That’s right. Li has earned a fair of money bit from storage auctions recently—more than a million dollars in the past few months. Rick persuaded me to set a trap to scam you out of your money.

”I originally didn’t want to mess with you, because I don’t understand the accents of Chinese people well. In the end, he got me a helper, which was that Chinese man, Rooney. I didn’t want to offend Rick, so I had to cooperate with him.”

Rooney was Lin Ping’s English name; he had always looked up to famous football players. The only other thing that guy liked besides gambling was football. Of course, combining the two into betting on football would have been the best of both worlds for him.

Li Du would have been a fool to believe in Haris. He had pushed all the blame away, making himself seem like a pure-white lily.

However, he had mainly wanted to know the truth behind the incident, and why the other party had specifically chosen to prey on him.

As for what role Haris played in this incident, he didn’t care much. To him, Haris was just another tool.

Also, he didn’t want to attract too much trouble. Haris and Marlin’s relationship was definitely complicated; Marlin didn’t want to treat this younger relative of his brutally, and this could be seen from the difference in treatment between Salman and Haris.

Then, Marlin said, ”The situation is clear now, Li. Sorry that this younger brother of mine has harmed you, but the good thing is that nothing major has happened.”

Li Du said, ”I understand. From what I can gather, I should leave the casino now, right?”

Marlin said with a slight smile, ”We’re just a small casino—it’s too hard to receive a god of gambling like you.”

Li Du nodded and said, ”I understand. I’ll leave immediately, together with my money.”

Marlin’s eyes narrowed, and he said with a laugh, ”No problem, you can go and exchange the chips. The money that you’ve won all belongs to you.”

Li Du said nonchalantly, ”Of course, I’ve won that money fair and square–it naturally belongs to me. What I meant was that the one million dollars that were scammed from me should be returned to me too.”

Black Leopard creased his brows and took half a step forward.

Marlin remained smiling. He stretched out his hand to stop his man. ”Although that lost money was a ploy by Haris, you did, in fact, lose...”

”Aren’t you the one who understands how I lost the most?” Li Du smiled.

Marlin stared straight at him with an icy gaze.

Li Du didn’t care, and continued, ”What belongs to me, I’m taking it. Whoever caused you to lose that money should pay it back to you.”

Hans understood what he meant, and added, ”That’s right. That money was lost by Li, but the root of the problem was Dog Ears Rick, that b*stard, was trying to mess with us. I think that debt should be collected from him.”

The atmosphere was cold. Black Leopard and a few others began warming their hands up, while on the other side, Godzilla clenched his fists in preparation.

The playboy didn’t make any movements until now, and stood up. ”Boss Marlin, we should stick to the rules for such things.”

The crowd looked toward him, and he continued, ”If you guys won Li’s money through unfair tricks, then it should be returned to him. On the other hand, if Li cheated, then he shouldn’t be allowed to take back the money he won.”

Marlin decided quickly and said, ”Alright, Li. You can take that money away, but you have to tell me how you won!”

Li Du said plainly, ”My five senses are better than the average person’s. When your dealer was shaking the dice, I could roughly observe the trajectory of the dice, and with my hearing, through the sound, I was able to figure it out. I’ve played these things before and never lost!”

Haris said in shock, ”That’s impossible...”
