C16 (1/2)
The chips on the gambling table were piled into a small hill, and the five of them had already conceded. Yang Lin, Xu Zhu, the young master of the Lord Taishang of the Stronghold, Chen Ze, Young Master Zhang, and Young Master Wu were still left gambling. Yang Lin had secretly yet to open the cup, but now it was Xu Zhu's turn, he hesitated for a moment before betting 20,000 chips.
”I'll follow.”
Chen Ze was a regular customer of this casino, so it wasn't hard for Yang Lin and Xu Zhu to find him. After meeting up with his, he did not say much and just went straight to the gambling table. Chen Ze couldn't remember how much he lost either, he only felt that everyone at the table was losing, and only the Yang Mansion was winning.
Perhaps it was due to the turn of events, but this time, he actually shook a huge dot. The opportunity to turn the tables finally came. Although he forced himself to remain calm, he still revealed a hint of joy. Seeing that Xu Zhu was still following him, he almost didn't even think as he pushed out 20,000 chips, and followed suit.
”Me too.”
Young Master Zhang and Young Noble Wu were both young masters of the large family, so when they heard Xu Zhu introducing Yang Lin as the old master of the Yang Mansion, they were even prepared to win against him.
”Follow me.”
Yang Lin was anxious, although he knew that he was the biggest, but looking at them, they seemed to be full of confidence, and it seems that they were not bad either. If that was the case, it would be troublesome. He would rather win a little less each time than kill them all at once.
Experienced gamblers did not win often. They would always win two rounds, lose one match, and when they lost they would even shout, letting everyone know that they had lost. However, when he won, it was a big win and when he lost, it was a small loss. That way you can get people to gamble with you. Who would gamble with a man who won't lose?
”Dark Follower.”
Yang Hu, Yang Bao, He Yi, He Man, Gong Dou, and Gong Dou who were standing behind Yang Lin, involuntarily started to worry for him. They were also frequent customers of the casino, so they knew that being so secretive was just a matter of luck.
When he arrived at the Forbidden Land of Fire, Yang Lin told Yang Bao to find the four of them and ask them to help him eliminate the bandits. These fellows were straightforward and agreed immediately. After all, they had nothing to do, so when they heard that there was a reward for exterminating the bandits, they quickly followed Yang Bao over.
A gamble like this was not something they could bear. They stood by the side and watched, casually helping Yang Lin to count the money. After betting for such a long time, Yang Lin had already won quite a lot, and normally, those few guys would have already retreated after knowing the difficulties.
In the blink of an eye, the dozen laps had passed, and the chips on the gambling table had increased in number. However, not a single person stopped, and the eyes of the gamblers grew redder and redder. It was Xu Zhu's turn again. He looked at the chips in front of the others, clenched his teeth, and pushed 200k of chips.
”It's troublesome to bet round after round. I bet two hundred thousand yuan at a time, will you follow me or not?”
Chen Ze obviously did not expect Xu Zhu to bet two hundred thousand every time. According to the rules, he could bet twenty thousand at most. But if Xu Zhu wanted to bet two hundred thousand, it was also within reason. But how could Chen Ze be willing to admit defeat? Without hesitation, he caught up to the two hundred thousand.
”Two hundred thousand is also going to follow, I must see a real chapter today.”
It was Young Master Zhang and Young Master Wu's turn, but they started to hesitate. Looking at Xu Zhu's stance, he definitely had a big idea, but they had their own big ideas too. They could not bear to give up, and after considering for a while, the two of them followed suit.
”Follow me.”
After a few more laps, each of them had staked more than a million chips. Because he wanted to ask Chen Ze to do something, Yang Lin did not want to kill him too ruthlessly. However, Xu Zhu did not care about the consequences and only cared about his own happiness, forcing Yang Lin to have no other way out. Even if he admitted defeat, Chen Ze would not accept his kindness, and might as well squeeze them all dry.
”I'm betting a million, do you guys still want to follow?”
Yang Lin was stunned. Yang Lin was betting a million, he was betting on two million, but he didn't have that many. He raised his head and looked at Yang Lin. He could see Yang Lin's confidence in his eyes, and after hesitating for a bit, he rationally chose to give up.
”You guys play, I give up.”
However, Chen Ze didn't understand the look in Yang Lin's eyes. He was still immersed in his own big point, and Xu Zhu's withdrawal, increased his confidence even more. Although he only had one million chips left, he raised his hand. Not long later, the fat Casino Owner ran over.
”Lend me five million chips.”
This was the biggest casino in the Realm of Flame Heaven, and the Casino Owner was not an ordinary person either. Casino Owner did not hesitate to agree to the request for the young master to borrow some chips. After Chen Ze wrote down the documents, the boss waved his hand, ordering his men to bring over 5 million chips and place it beside Chen Ze.
”I'll keep up with the two million. Are you guys going to follow?”
Young Master Zhang and Young Master Wu's eyes turned green, looking at the chips on the table, they were truly unwilling to give up, but looking at Chen Ze's stance, the ideas in their heads were not ordinary, they could not help but feel guilty. After a moment of hesitation, the two conceded.
”Chen Gongzi, you still have four million, I bet two million, I'll give you a chance to open the cup.”
Yang Lin smiled at Chen Ze and continued to pin him down. He had calculated correctly, Chen Ze still had 4 million gold, he would definitely open the cup. He was already at this stage, and could not retreat in the slightest. He did not want to let Chen Ze win the money without any reason. Even if they wanted to give him money, they had to give it to him in the open.
”Alright, I'll bet 4 million. Open the cup.”
”Spring in the Courtyard.”
Chen Ze was the first to open the lid of the cup, and the result caused a wave of shocked exclamations. He laughed proudly, as if victory was already in his grasp. But Yang Lin also smiled, and intentionally rubbed his hands together, and gently opened the lid of the cup.
”Jiang Long.”
This time, the screams were even louder. Some of them were even screaming. Chen Ze's face was ashen, he suddenly sat down, pressing down on the seat beneath him, causing it to creak loudly. He looked ahead, and only after a long while did he regain his senses, stand up and walk out.
”Please wait, Chen Gongzi.”
Yang Lin and Xu Zhu immediately chased and stopped Chen Ze. The reason they entered the city this time, was to look for Chen Ze, they did not expect to kill Chen Ze without leaving a single person alive. Hearing someone call out to him, Chen Ze stopped. He looked at Yang Lin and Xu Zhu, his face filled with suspicion.
”What did you two call me for?”
”Chen Gongzi, it's already noon. How about we invite you to have a drink of water?”
This was a business tradition, Yang Lin used it here. Chen Ze was in a terrible mood, there was no room for him to worry about the wine, 5 million was a huge sum of money for him too. If his father were to find out, he would be reprimanding him again.
”Forget about drinking.”
”Chen Gongzi, isn't it just a few million? Do you really need to care so much? If Young Master has any difficulties, I will return the five million to Young Master. ”
”Not really. I'm just not in the mood.”
”Chen Gongzi, I have something to talk to you about. Maybe it can help young master earn a few million.”
Oh, what method does Master Yang have?
”Let's go, let's drink and chat.”
Chen Ze looked at Yang Lin and his, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed. Yang Lin called for the work at the hotel, which led the three of them to a private room. After Yang Lin arranged the dishes, he waved his hand and chased out of the hotel.
”Chen Gongzi, to tell you the truth, we came here specially to find you.”
”A few days ago, bandit Zhang Dazui, Wang Laosan and Liu Ergou attacked Yang Family Villa. Although we chased away the bandits, many of our fellow villagers died. As long as we do not eliminate the bandits, we will not be able to live peacefully. Therefore, we wish to request the Lord Taishang to eliminate these bandits. ”
”Hehe, I can't make that decision. I am now the County Officer General, so I understand those County Warriors very well. They have not fought in war for a long time and have neglected training. Besides, those bandits are from outside the city, we don't care. Moreover, they are all hiding in the mountains, so even if you go and fight them, they won't be able to escape. ”
