Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Young Master actually lost! The Young Master whom the goddess Li Nianwei liked most actually lost?
This result was a surprise for everyone present, even the Fifth Lord slightly squinted his eyes.
According to his expectation, the person that Li Nianwei liked naturally wouldn’t be someone weak. But now, this Young Master actually lost so quickly. This result was more or less out of his expectation.
Actually, the Fifth Lord should check on Hong Dali’s background carefully first. But the interesting was that once Hong Dali came to Silver-blue super-planet, he practically spent all his time with the Galaxy Aristocrats. Simply speaking, the level of people Hong Dali interacted with was too high.
Hong Dali was akin to a standard second-generation rich and second-generation government official. His background was naturally very strong, but the crucial thing was that only those people of the highest level would know of him. No one could expect a mafia to recognize the son of a military general, right?
Therefore, things now became very interesting.
The current Hong Dali was a classic example of a very fat pig that was dripping with oil, and these five mafias were staring at this pig drooling. Hong Dali was not only rich, but the women beside him were very pretty too. If they didn’t take the opportunity to cut some meat and blood of him, it would be a waste of this opportunity that heaven granted them!
But luckily, Fifth Lord did things very carefully. If not, he would have been chopped up and fed to the dogs by his enemies a long time ago. Therefore, even though he chanced upon such a fat pig like Hong Dali, he didn’t really expose too much of his ugly side. Seeing the other four people already eager and couldn’t wait anymore, Fifth Lord hurriedly smiled and said, “Hahaha, oh my, thank you for going easy on me, young man. This has really made my old face look good. Since this is the case, why don’t we play something else?” Saying so, he made a look with his eyes towards the others beside him. The other four were quite anxious at first, but upon seeing Fifth Lord’s hint, they decisively held back their words and nodded in unison.
“Oh, no thanks.” However, Hong Dali listlessly waved his hand and said, “I had quite a fun time today, hehe. I am a bit tired now, I shall be returning home to rest now. I only have five million-plus left on me anyways, there isn’t much point in playing something small.”
The people around them sucked in a cold breath.
He only had five million-plus left on him... What the heck, was he a moving bank? And even that was only what was left after all these?
Seeing that Hong Dali wanted to leave, it would be indeed a pity if they let this prodigal escape. Therefore, Fifth Lord hurriedly turned his eyes, smiled and said, “Then, why don’t we play something thrilling? This time, let’s not bet on money, but bet on our estates instead, how about that?”
“Huh?” Hong Dali sniffled and said, “Bet on our estates? Let me think, hm...”
Hong Dali looked at Ling Xiaoyi and said, “Xiaoyi, help me tabulate my estates and randomly choose a few.” Saying so, he looked at Fifth Lord and asked, “Oh right, how much worth of estates are you planning to bet on?”
He took the bait, hahahaha!
Fifth Lord and the other four secretly shared a look. Then, Fifth Lord excitedly said, “To be honest, this Meizhi Casino is one of my estates too. Currently, it’s valued at 34 million dollars. Let’s bet on something of this level, how about it?”
An estate worth 34 million!
Hearing that the gamble was of such a level, the people watching were all very excited! All of their eyes were shining with light!
This was a large gamble that might not happen even in a few years, but they actually witnessed it. This wasn’t easy!
“Oh? This is indeed quite interesting.” Hong Dali seemed to become even more blurred. He humped and asked, “Then, how do you want to bet?”
“The rule is very simple.” Fifth Lord smiled and pushed another woman beside him up one step. He said, “This woman of mine has very fast hands. This time, let’s bet on picking the correct option! There will be three boxes, and one of the boxes will have an attribute gemstone inside it. As long as you can guess correctly which box the gemstone is in, you win. How does this sound?”
“Alright, it does seem quite simple.” Hong Dali gave out a long yawn and said, “Then start preparing now. I am tired, I shall take a nap first. Which of you are betting too, go count your estates first.”
Therefore, Hong Dali brought a large group of people with him, found a god spot, laid on Li Nianwei’s thighs and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.
Tang Muxin softly asked Li Nianwei, “Sister Nianwei, do you think that Dali purposely asked Sister Xiao Yi to lose in order to bait them? But can he really win the gamble later?”
“Hehe, Young Master’s strategies are always very unfathomable.” Li Nianwei gently said, “We only have to trust in the Young Master. Although those people could be considered to be old foxes, they are definitely not a match for Young Master’s wisdom.”
“That’s true.” Tang Muxin had a deep understanding of how amazing Hong Dali’s various moves and tactics were. She grinned and said, “It’s just that I still feel a bit unwillingly that Sister Xiao Yi had to lose.”
“Hm.” At this moment, Hong Dali suddenly humphed and said, “Winning or losing isn’t important, there’s no need to mind these minor details...” Then, he continued to sleep.
This rascal!
...
On Fifth Lord’s side.
The other four gathered around him at looked at Fifth Lord leisurely drinking grape wine. In their hearts, they were a bit puzzled.
“Little Five.” Lizard Man snatched over Fifth Lord’s wine glass and anxiously said, “You have already tested him just now, how is this Young Master exactly? Are we able to bit a large piece of him or not today?”
His question was what the other three wanted to ask too. Therefore, all of them waited to see what he would say.
“This Young Master should be the descendant of some large family. The type where he is the sole heir.” Fifth Lord thought for a while and slowly said, “I looked at him carefully just now. Out of the people around him, the woman who fought just now is the most powerful, that’s why I requested to bet on a fight. However, from her battle with my Fire Rose just now, her strength is roughly at the limit of a Third Order Planet Warrior, nothing much to worry about.
“For a Young Master from a large family, we can tell of his family’s strength through the guard sent to protect him. Therefore, I can basically be certain that this Hong Dali’s family is rich, but not very strong, not something that we can’t mess with. Since this is the case, it wouldn’t be right if we don’t win something from him now that he has already come to our casino, right?”
Hearing his words, the other four people’s eyes all lit-up.
If they don’t cut off a large piece off such a fat pig, they might as well not make a living in the underworld anymore.
“Hehe, that’s good, that’s good!” Lizard Man laughed loudly. “This Young Master is a rare fat pig. Being able to lose tens of millions and not even blink an eye, his family is definitely very rich. This time, we must definitely cut off a large piece of meat off him. Anyway, we’re inside the casino, he has no one to blame if he loses until he goes bankrupt here.”
The other three people agreed with his words too and the four of them nodded together.
“Of course I know that.” Fifth Lord touched his chin, smiled and said, “Once he signs the contract, it will be too late for him to regret. By that time, no matter how powerful his family is, they can only swallow this down quietly. Therefore, how much are you guys planning to bet?”
“Isn’t that simple?” Lizard Man shrugged. “This is such a good opportunity, of course, it’s the same as just now. I shall bet some of my estates too, about 20 million. How about you guys?”
The others all nodded. Therefore, this matter was decided.
According to their agreement, everyone shall bet on about 20 million worth of estates. Fifth Lord shall bet a bit more, about 30 to 40 million. Plus the fact that it was his people who would be executing the scam, he would be taking about 40% of the profit and the rest would be taking 15% each.
Hong Dali would need to bet double, so it would be about 70 million worth of estates.
...
Elentina and the others were softly discussing on the side.
One of the attendants asked an audience member beside him, “Hey, bro, who do you think will win later?”
That person replied, “Is there a need to ask? It’s definitely Fifth Lord’s woman who’s more powerful! Let me tell you this.” Saying so, as if he was being a thief, he softly said, “That woman is nicknamed God’s Hand, she’s very powerful! Countless experts have lost to her, she isn’t just an ordinary person!”
The female attendant: “So incredible? Doesn’t that mean that she is cheating?”
The audience: “Which casino doesn’t have such an expert watching over the place? If not, wouldn’t the casino lose everything if some expert gambler came? Therefore, hehe...”
“Amazing!” The female attendant stuck out her tongue and then said, “Looks like casinos are really not someplace to play at. I wonder whether Young Master will be able to win later, this is such a large bet...”
...
Time passed very quickly, an hour had passed in the blink of an eye. Hong Dali finally woke up and stretched. He smiled and said, “Ah, that’s a really good nap. Well, when is the gamble starting?”
We are waiting for you to wake up, you rascal!
“Haha, Young Master, you are awake?” Seeing that Hong Dali had finally woke up, Fifth Lord and the others hurried over. This fat pig was right in front of their eyes, they must grasp hold of him firmly. If not, they would definitely regret not taking hold of this opportunity.
“Ah, I am awake. So, let’s play?” Hong Dali looked at Ling Xiaoyi and asked, “Xiaoyi, have you tabulated my estates?”
“Yes.” Ling Xiaoyi nodded an asked, “Young Master, how much are you planning to bet?”
“Just bet 80 million first.” Hong Dali sniffled and said, “I don’t need so many estates anyway, just bet on them for fun.”
Everyone watching sucked in a deep breath. Elentina clutched her chest. “My god...”
“Oh right.” Hong Dali looked at Fifth Lord and asked, “How much are you guys planning to bet?”
Fifth Lord and the other four shared a look. Then, he smiled and said, “Since Young Master is betting 80 million, we have to bet a bit more. Let’s do it this way. We won 10 million just now, plus our capital of 25 million, we will be betting all of this in too. Adding in our estates, the total is about 150 million. How is it?”
80 plus 150 million! A total bet of 230 million! Such a spectacular gamble was enough to shake everyone’s eyes!
Everyone stared with eyes wide and jaws hanging. Some of those timid ones even drooled.
230 million, that was definitely a super large figure!
“Yup, not bad.” Hong Dali didn’t feel much about this, he just nodded and said, “Let’s do it this way, then.”
Therefore, the thrilling gamble of choosing the correct option started!
