370 You People Are Not My Children (2/2)
”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!]
