Chapter 48: The God of Gambling, Fifth Master, Takes the Stage

  Qiao Qian stepped out, exuding an aura of authority without even raising her voice. The gamblers who had been arguing and shouting just moments before suddenly fell silent, exchanging warning glances with each other.

  Liyang may not know Qian's identity, but that doesn't mean these gamblers don't. They all looked at this middle-aged woman wearing black sunglasses with a mixture of fear and respect, automatically retreating several steps to clear a path for her.

  Qiao Qian walked up to Li Yang, her face serious: "Li Yang, isn't it just 3.6 billion? I'll give it to you! But after giving you this money, you have to make a bet with Fifth Uncle, do you have any objections?"

  Qiao Qian pointed at the grey-robed old man behind her after finishing speaking.

  Li Yang said in surprise: "No gambling is okay, Auntie, I really have something today, I'll leave."

  "Hmph! You've won so much money from us, and you think you can just walk away with a pat on the back? Do you think we're running a charity here? Today, unless we don't want to gamble with you anymore, you're not leaving this casino." Qiao Qian said with a stern face.

  "Aunt, can I just forget about this money?" Li Yang's face turned dark with anger.

  Qiao Qian sneered: "That's the money you deserve, I want it, and I'll win it back from the casino."

  "Since Auntie has given an order, I'll agree to it." Li Yang said with a hateful tone, his fists slowly clenched.

  Isn't it just the underworld? What's with the domineering attitude?!

  My old man has a mining ship as his backing, are you guys scared? What kind of crap high-hand, no matter how powerful can it be more powerful than alien technology?

  Qiao Qian gave him a sideways glance and handed over several checks.

  Liyang took a look and found that there were as many as six of them. The larger ones had a face value of 800 million, while the smaller ones had a face value of 400 million. It seemed that Longteng Company, despite its large size, had also managed to scrape together 3.6 billion in cash from six bank accounts.

  After clearing this huge sum of money, the 100 million chips that Li Yang had just pressed were naturally returned, and together with the remaining 60 million chips, they were put together.

  Li Yang's emotions were stirred as he put away the checks, thinking to himself that this was not much slower than digging for diamonds. However, looking around at Qiao Qian and the casino staff, who all had unpleasant expressions on their faces, his heart skipped a beat.

  It's already come to this, Lei Yang clearly couldn't gamble anymore, Qiao Qian couldn't just let him off easily, so he steeled himself and calmed down.

  Yin Tianlong, who was beside him, was now trying his best to suppress his emotions, but the angry expression still couldn't be stopped from appearing on his face. This kid had already jumped behind the roulette machine and started punching and kicking the croupier while scolding him.

  An old man in grey clothes stretched out one hand and slightly raised it, and two well-dressed young men came up beside him holding two instruments that scanned Lei Yang's body from top to bottom, shaking their heads slightly before retreating to the side.

  Li Yang angrily clenched his fist and said: "What are you doing? The roulette machine is fully enclosed, controlled by you, how can I cheat?"

  He has already let the mining ship put the plastic balls back in place, turning them into a bracelet on his hand. The technology used by the mining ship is not something that these instruments can detect, and it would be strange if they could find any problems.

  "Young man, don't be impatient. I'm just taking a look. Anyone who dares to cheat in front of me has been thrown into the Yellow River to feed the fish." The old man in gray said quietly.

  The old man smiled slightly, and his body suddenly moved. He saw that he tapped the edge of the roulette table with his toes, and a swallow flipped over and entered behind the roulette equipment where the croupier was standing earlier.

  He had just stepped in and swiftly raised his hand to stop Yin Tianlong from continuing the violence. Then he bent down and used a pen-like object to tap around, only to see him scanning around with sharp eyes like an eagle, seemingly checking where the problem was.

  The scene fell silent, with everyone holding their breath.

  Apart from Li Yang, all gamblers knew that the grey-robed old man in front of them was the legendary God of Gamblers, Wu Ye!

  After ten minutes of suffocating silence, Fifth Master finally spoke up: "Young Master Yin, this matter is not Little Tian's fault, let her go."

  "Yes! I believe in Fifth Master!" Yin Tianlong respectfully made a fist and bowed to the old man, while the two black-clad men beside him released the disheveled and injured female official.

  "Thank you, Master Wu! Thank you for saving my life!" The female official's face was bruised and swollen, with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. She knocked her head on the ground several times.

  The old man stood with his hands tied behind his back, not even looking at her, and waved his hand: "Get out. From now on, you should also quit this line of work and find a stable job to live a good life!"

  The female official nodded repeatedly with a sorrowful expression and retreated with a limp.

  A well-dressed middle-aged man waved his hand at the crowd and said, "Disperse, everyone! Those who want to continue betting can do so. Just now, our Longteng Company has already paid out 3.6 billion yuan in checks to Laiyang. You all saw it. Today, the banker seems to be a bit unlucky. Don't you want to take advantage of this opportunity to make some money?"

  This man is the person in charge of the casino. After hearing what he said, all the gamblers who were watching the commotion earlier dispersed to look for their own favorite ways to gamble, and the atmosphere in the casino returned to its previous bustle.

  Yin Tianlong's face was unpredictable as he said to Li Yang, "Li Yang, please, Fifth Master won't be betting money here. Let's go to the VIP room."

  Li Yang knew he could only take it one step at a time, so he nodded and followed, with Xiaoli carrying a full tray of plastic chips behind him.

  After Lai Yang left, Qiao Qianping dismissed everyone around her and walked to the old man in gray clothes, asking softly: "Fifth Uncle, did this kid really not make any moves?"

  "Boss, I've checked carefully and the machine is fine. It's probably a problem with the remote control. This kid just got lucky and stumbled upon it. I took a closer look and earlier Xiao Tian pressed both buttons zero and one on the remote control to death, but the machine still didn't listen, which means Xiao Tian is not the problem."

  "What luck! Fifth Uncle, do you know that every time Li Yang has good luck, our company loses one-third of its assets!" Qiao Qian exclaimed.

  "No matter how good the machine is, it will always make mistakes and can't be compared to human reliability. Don't worry, Master, I'll go see that kid myself later and not only make him spit out all 3.6 billion but also leave behind the over 60 billion on his body."

  "Good! Fifth Uncle, a thousand days of training soldiers is used in one moment, I've been waiting for this sentence from you!" Qiao Qian said emotionally.

  A luxurious and extraordinary suite, Li Yang and Wu Ye sat face to face at both ends of a large table, with several robust disciples of Wu Ye standing beside him with their hands clasped together, while Yin Tianlong hung his head behind Wu Ye thinking about something.

  Li Yang sat there with a smile on his face, carefully sizing up Wu Ye.

  He was not tall, slender, in his sixties or seventies, with white hair and a short beard under his chin, and triangular eyes that shone brightly. He had a high nose bridge, thin lips and a small mouth, with the corners of his mouth drooping downwards. His grey cotton cheongsam suit made him look sharp and neat. Thinking about how he had slipped into the roulette table with such agility, Li Yang felt that he was an all-round master.

  "Young man, speak up! What kind of wager would you like to make? I'll go along with whatever it is." Fifth Master said in a soft voice, his goat-like beard quivering as he spoke.

  Li Yang spread his hands and said, "Let me choose? I'm not good at anything. I see others playing poker and it looks like a lot of fun, you can determine the outcome with just three cards, may I ask, sir, do you know how to play this game?"

  "Bring the poker? Alright, come on, bring a deck of cards." Fifth Master's mouth corners slightly curved into a smile, thinking to himself that he was most skilled at playing poker. You're asking for it yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless later!

  Push-and-pull machine, is the most junior gambling method in poker games. The characteristics are the most energy-saving, the fastest, one flip card, two staring eyes.

  The disciples of Master Wu around him all showed a relaxed expression when they heard that Li Yang was going to gamble with playing cards.

  The room had long been prepared with various gambling equipment, and a blonde woman, the dealer, quickly walked over with a brand new deck of poker cards. With her blue eyes and pale complexion, she was surprisingly a foreign beauty.

  The poker cards were opened and inspected by Li Yang and Wu Ye, after which Yang Ni's familiar hands began to shuffle the cards. The poker cards flew back and forth in her hands, fluttering in mid-air like butterflies dancing among flowers, leaving Li Yang staring in amazement at her dazzling shuffling skills.

  After shuffling the cards, this deck of poker was put into the card dealing machine. The dealer dealt them their first card with a flourish. As agreed earlier, whoever got the higher card would be the banker.

  The first card of the two people was turned over. Li Yang's was the eight of spades and Wu Ye's was the ten of clubs. In the first round, Wu Ye was the banker.

  The dealer quickly dealt the remaining two cards to both of them. Because there was a mining ship's survey function, Li Yang put his cards on the table without looking at them and knew that one of his cards was a red three and the other was a six of spades, which added up to eight points. Even if the opponent had only one ten-point card, he would still lose for sure.

  At the same time, Li Yang glanced at Wu Ye's card, red peach 4, black peach A, plus that clear card plum blossom 10. The largest card was black peach A, and Li Yang absolutely won.

  Both sides have a bottom line of 10 million. If Li Yang admits defeat, he can directly concede and lose his 10 million to Wu Ye without revealing his hand.

  If Li Yang wants to compare the size of the cards, he must put up 20 million to see the cards. If Li Yang wins, he will take away Wu Ye's 10 million base gold; if he loses, he will have to hand over 30 million with both hands.

  Lei Yang, who knew the inside story of both sides, was about to concede defeat when he caught a glimpse of Fifth Master's hands holding up his sleeves and making a slight movement before slapping down the card on the table, changing its face!

  Li Yang took a closer look and saw that the cards on the table had changed to Plum Blossom 10, Square 10, and Red Peach 10!

  This is clearly a bomb!

  Through the holographic image transmitted by the mining ship, Li Yang's heart was filled with rage! No wonder this old man was so confident, it turned out he was a master, and had already taken control of himself!

  He took a closer look and found that the old man had a clever mechanism in each of his sleeve openings, hiding a deck of cards. He had just used an extremely fast technique to swap out the card in his hand!
