  The rock said disdainfully: "A nation like this, how can it become strong? The common people are all gamblers, their bodies have been emptied by wine, lust and gambling. I think that if a war breaks out, this big city may not be able to hold on for a few days." Yan Li echoed: "Yes, no wonder it's called the Dark City. I think, except for those officials and casino bosses who got rich, these ordinary people will eventually be emptied like Uncle Vatana. Hmm, do you see that? Is that the casino?" He pointed to a small shop with the most traffic, but there was no obvious sign on the door, only a large character written in the language of the Fallen Empire, which the three did not recognize.

  Wattana sighed and nodded, "The words on the door are just a gamble, it's just a small casino, it doesn't count for anything. What you said is right. I don't know about other places, but most people in Dark City are in a state of decadence, most people work just to earn more money to have fun in the casino. We're not afraid of fighting at all, who doesn't know that the Church will protect us? We are the most loyal followers of God, God will bless us."

  Yan Li disdainfully said: "If God is going to bless people like you, then He's really blind."

  Wattana's eyes flashed with a hint of anger, he was a devout follower of the Heavenly God, but now he had to ask for help from someone, and didn't dare refute Yan Li's words. He could only mutter under his breath: "Heavenly God, please forgive this ignorant fool." His face wore an expression of piety, as if the Heavenly God would truly protect him.

  "Ah-Dai said: "Uncle Watanabe, take us to the Magician's Guild first, I'll get the money to repay you."

  Just as Wata was about to agree, he was stopped by Yanshi. He gave a wink and then pulled Ah Dai aside. Ah Dai asked in confusion: "Brother Yanshi, what are you doing? I've already agreed with Uncle Wata, and I must do it. Don't try to persuade me, I believe Uncle Wata won't cheat me."

  The rock smiled slightly and said, "What's the hurry? I didn't say you can't help Watanabe pay back the money. It's just that this money can't be paid by the Magician's Guild. After all, it's a debt from gambling. Although you're doing it to help someone, it may still affect your reputation in the Magician's Guild and be detrimental to your future. This matter is better handled by us ourselves."

  "Ah, stupid!" he said with a start, "How is it, big brother, you still have money?"

  The rock smiled mysteriously, pointing to the small casino across the street, saying: "Although I don't have it, they do! Since the casino took Watanabe's family fortune, let the casino help him pay it back."

  Ah-Dai scratched his head, somewhat puzzled by the rock's meaning, and asked doubtfully: "Big brother, are you telling me to go gamble? Didn't you say last night that gambling harms people, how can we go?"

  "Gambling is indeed harmful, but if we can win steadily, we won't be harmed ourselves. Who knows, we might even help those gamblers vent their frustrations. Ah-Dai, with your ability to change circumstances, you should be able to control many things. When the time comes, just enter the casino and listen to my instructions. I guarantee that you'll be able to win back all of Wata's debts."

  A'Dai still had confidence in the rock, nodded and said: "Alright, brother I'll listen to you."

  The two of them walked back to Wattana's side, Wattana's face was pale and he lowered his head without speaking. Yanshi said: "Uncle Wattana, don't worry, we will definitely help you pay the debt, but first, take us to that casino and let's see how it harms people."

  "Watana shook his head repeatedly: 'No, no, I won't go. That's a place that harms people! I don't want to gamble for the rest of my life.'"

  "Uncle, don't worry, we're not going to make you gamble. We just want to see how this casino is harming people," Yan Shi comforted him. "Later, you just need to tell us the rules of those games and that's it." As he spoke, he pulled Wata Na along with Yan Li and Ah Dai, and the four of them headed towards the casino.

  The rock thought, since this Watan was once a wealthy merchant, the places he went to were all high-end casinos, and he would never visit such a small casino on the edge of the city. Naturally, no one here would recognize him. As soon as they entered, they won over two attendants, who immediately nodded and bowed upon seeing A's magician attire, and invited the four of them in. Indeed, no one noticed Watan.

  "Gentlemen, what would you like to play? I can introduce you."

  Just now, Watanabe was still saying that he would never gamble again, but as soon as he entered the casino, listening to the familiar shouts and the collision of various gambling tools, his heart seemed to be boiling over, with excited lights flashing in his eyes. Ah-Dai and the others were here for the first time, feeling a bit dazed. Iwao said to the attendant, "You don't need to take care of us, we'll just take a look around and then decide what to play." Although he had told Ah-Dai that he was confident of winning, it was actually because he had full confidence in Ah-Dai's abilities, believing that no matter what kind of gamble, there was always the possibility of changing the outcome. As for gambling, Iwao had always been deeply disgusted by it, and he had heard many stories like Watanabe's before. His goal was to take down this casino. He turned to ask Watanabe, who was excitedly looking around, "Uncle Watanabe, what makes the most money here?"

  "Of course it's the roulette, that big wheel over there with a lot of people around it. You see, the wheel has one hundred slots, divided into black and white colors, each slot with its own number. The big table next to it is where you place your bets. As long as you buy chips and go there to bet on what you want, that's it. Most people bet on either black or white, so there's a 50% chance of winning. After the wheel starts spinning, the casino staff will release a small ball onto it, which will spin in the opposite direction of the wheel. When the wheel stops, the ball will land on a slot with a certain color, and those who bet on that color win. However, because the chances of winning are high, the payout isn't very high either, just 1:1."

  "Then why did you say this roulette is the fastest way to win money, uncle?"

  As soon as the word "gambling" was mentioned, Watanabe immediately forgot his own affairs and put on a seasoned gambler's face, saying: "Of course, I have my reasons for saying this. On the roulette wheel, you can not only bet on black and white, but also on numbers. Generally, casinos allow betting on multiples of 3, 5, 7, 9, and 10. In other words, if the final ball lands on a number that is a multiple of 3, those who bet on multiples of 3 can win three times their stake, betting on 5 can win five times, and so on. If you can bet on multiples of 10, it's one to ten! One gold coin can become ten in an instant. This is not the highest payout ratio, the highest can reach one to twenty-five, that is, betting on a single number.

  Yan Shi nodded and said: "Indeed, the odds are very high. Ah Diao, give me the money that Ka Li Hui will give you, I'll go exchange it for chips."

  Yan Li was startled and grabbed Yan Shi's hand: "Big brother, what are you doing? How could you really come here to gamble? That's our living expenses for the future!"

  The rock smiled slightly and said, "Big brother has his own purpose, don't worry about it. Ah-Dai, give me the money." Ah-Dai hesitated for a moment before deciding to trust the rock and handed over the pouch of money. The rock followed Vatana's excited guidance to the exchange counter at the casino, and soon returned with a servant in tow, carrying a large tray laden with purple chips. Vatana was stunned, "So you guys are so rich! One purple chip represents five gold coins!" The surrounding gamblers also cast admiring glances at the servant's tray of chips, clearly taking Ah-Dai and his companions for high-rollers.

  A somewhat lewd and thin man leaned in close to the rock, saying in a low voice: "Sir, since you have so much money, why do you still come here to gamble? Come to our Golden Fortune Casino instead. The service there is top-notch, with beautiful girls serving you. As long as you can afford it, we can satisfy your every desire."

  The rock in his heart moved slightly, he glanced at him and said: "Since we've come all the way here, let's have some fun first. If we win some money, then we'll go to your place to play around."

  "Alright, alright, then I'll just wish you a victorious start, Grandpa." The thin little man said with a flattering tone. After finishing speaking, he quickly squeezed into the crowd and disappeared from sight.

  Yan Shi walked to Ah Dai's side and whispered, "Let's go play that wheel thing." After speaking, he led the way towards the wheel. Ah Dai had no choice but to follow Yan Shi.

  Wattana excitedly stuck to the side of Rock, and as soon as he reached the roulette table, the people next to him suddenly made way, clearing a space around the wheel. In this small casino, bets were usually made in units of silver coins, and some ordinary people even came with dozens of copper coins just to have fun. Seeing Rock's big spending, they naturally made way for him to see his lavish betting style.

  A few people gathered in front of the roulette wheel, and Rocky leaned into Ah-Dai's ear, whispering: "Later, I'll press something, you use your internal energy to control the ball to fall there. However, be sure not to emit any aura, it's best to transmit the internal energy from the ground into that machine." Actually, Rocky could barely do it himself, but in order to have a better grasp, he let Ah-Dai take care of it.

  The banker looked at the rare big gambler and thought, this time he must let these guys lose completely. He shouted loudly: "Hurry up! Place your bets." The small gamblers around him placed their bets one after another, but Yanshi didn't move. He leaned in to Ah Dai's ear again and said: "You try first, control the ball in grid 55 and see if it works."

  The fool nodded slightly, and the banker saw that they didn't participate, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, ordered his men to start spinning the wheel. The gamblers on the side kept shouting their own bets, the cries rising and falling, the wheel quickly started spinning, the banker put a small wooden ball inside, the ball kept jumping lightly on the wheel, making a "dada" sound.

  The idiot lowered his head, the magician's cloak completely covering his body. He closed his eyes and urged the true energy in his body to converge the light, carefully inserting the air into the wheel. As soon as the air entered the bottom of the wheel, he was startled, because through the feeling of the air machine, he found that there was a person inside the wheel machine. The idiot didn't understand why someone was there, but he knew he couldn't let that person discover his air, so he carefully urged the air to pass through the wooden board and enter the wheel. At this time, the rotation of the wheel had slowed down. The idiot used invisible air to quietly control the jumping wooden ball, and the wheel gradually stopped, but the ball was still jumping continuously. All the gamblers stared with wide eyes, waiting for the ball to land. The speed of the rolling ball slowed down, and finally, after a jump, it rolled into the fifty-fifth grid.

  The croupier was a bit strange, this time he gave the signal for number sixty-three, but it turned into fifty-five, what's going on with that guy down there. The method of cheating at roulette is simple, in the wooden box under the wheel, there is a person who can also see the numbers on the wheel from underneath. Before each round starts, the croupier will give him a signal and he will place a strong magnet under the iron wheel according to this signal. After the wheel spins, the wooden ball with an iron core will naturally be attracted by the magnet and has more than an 80% chance of falling into the slot below where the magnet is placed. In order to better control it, the person underneath usually places magnets in several different slots, so the casino can be said to be a stable winner.

  A gambler suddenly shouted, "I won, I won, my bet on five times the stake is correct! Quick, quick pay me, I bet one gold coin, haha, haha, hahaha!"

  The rock also rejoiced, his own judgment was indeed correct, Ah Dai really had this ability. The landlord's face didn't change, this small mistake was sometimes unavoidable, five gold coins were nothing, the losers were still the majority after all. What he cared about most was this big customer who had exchanged thousands of gold coins. He took back the small ball and ordered his subordinates to pay out money to the winning gamblers. Looking at the rock, a professional smile appeared on his face as he asked: "Sir, won't you play two hands?"

  "Here comes, of course, you want to play, are you ready for the next round? I'm going to place a bet."

  The banker secretly rejoiced, adjusted the roulette wheel, and at this time, the previous round had already lost all the money. He shouted loudly: "Good, start betting, the more you bet, the more you get."

  The gamblers put down their chips in the places they thought were good, and Rocky took two chips from the tray held by his attendant behind him and placed them on number thirteen, saying: "I'm betting on number one."

  The banker cursed in his heart, this guy must be a stupid fool, actually daring to bet on the single number, even if I don't cheat, you can't possibly win. "Alright, betting is closed." His subordinates stopped collecting bets, the banker forcefully spun the wheel, quickly glanced at the betting board, and swiftly gestured several numbers with his right hand to the people below, then released the wooden ball into the wheel.

  He stared intently at the rapidly spinning wheel, not in a hurry to control the wooden ball. Controlling it too early would only arouse suspicion. The wooden ball continued to bounce around, and when the wheel was about to stop, his internal energy quietly wrapped around the ball again. When the ball landed on thirteen, he accurately guided it into the grid. How can the suction power of a magnet compare to the energy of internal energy threads?

  The landlord stared blankly at the wooden ball that had indeed fallen into the thirteenth grid, muttering: "Impossible, this is impossible!" Earlier, he had made a gesture to let the people below put magnets in the twelfth and fourteenth grids, so that the wooden ball would be attracted by the magnets on both sides and could not enter the thirteenth grid at all. But things went against his wishes, and the fact was before his eyes.

  "Watana shouted loudly, 'We've won! We've hit the single number! Quick, quick, pay out the money!'"

  The landlord calmly pointed to his subordinates to return the chips to Yanshi, two purple chips were ten gold coins, twenty-five times was two hundred and fifty gold coins!

  Yan Shi smiled slightly, everything was within his calculations. He took the tray from the servant's hand and handed all the chips to the banker, saying lightly: "I'm going all in on number thirty-six."

  The banker's face changed, and if such a large bet really hit, under the odds of 25 times, that would be a huge number! He turned his head and whispered something to his subordinates in a low voice. One of his subordinates quickly squeezed out of the crowd and left. The surrounding gamblers saw such a big bet and all stopped their hands, fixing their eyes on the rock and the banker.

  "Since no one else is betting, let's get started."

  Due to the previous two mistakes, the banker had already lost confidence in his heart. At this time, the person who left earlier had brought back a stout middle-aged man. The banker looked at the middle-aged man and the middle-aged man nodded slightly towards him. The banker said, "Good, it's settled." He started spinning the wheel again. The stout middle-aged man's gaze was fixed firmly on the Rocky group, without any relaxation. The wooden ball began to bounce around the wheel again, while Rocky watched the bouncing ball with a carefree expression. As the wheel slowed down under Ah-Dai's control, the ball accurately landed in the 36th empty grid. The whole scene erupted into chaos, and the banker stood there stupidly, clearly aware that this time all ten grids surrounding the 36th had magnets attached to them, but the final result was still being controlled by the opponent. His body trembled slightly - twenty-five times one thousand two hundred fifty gold coins were more than thirty thousand gold coins!

  A stout middle-aged man walked up to Zhuang's side, his eyes flashing with cold light, staring fixedly at the rock, and said in a chilly tone, "Pay compensation."

  The banker nervously agreed, using gold chips worth 100 gold coins each to compensate the Rock. The Rock didn't take all the chips back, smiling and saying: "Looks like my luck is still pretty good today, I'll just bet on number thirty-six again, all in." The banker's body went limp, almost collapsing to the ground. The short, stout middle-aged man spoke in a low voice: "Brother, sometimes knowing when to stop is not a bad choice. Don't ruin yourself for a moment of greed." His words were already quite threatening, with a strong sense of danger, and the surrounding gamblers didn't dare continue betting, quietly watching the Rock and the short, stout middle-aged man.

  Yan Shi sneered, "What, does this casino still have a limit on the amount of bets? This is somewhat unreasonable. Here's 35,000 gold coins, can't I just bet it all?"

  A stout middle-aged man knew that he had met a formidable opponent today. If he was defeated again, he would have to pay more than 800,000 gold coins, which was not something this small casino could afford. He shouted loudly: "Everyone, our casino has temporarily closed due to unexpected circumstances, please come back another day!" Dozens of burly men poured out of the casino, each holding a wooden stick, slowly surrounding him. The gamblers saw that things were not going well and left, most of them being small merchants who feared getting into trouble. Everyone knew that those who could open casinos had strong backers.

  The rock held back the angry Rock Power, turned around and rushed to Wattana: "Uncle, please wait for us outside." Wattana, who was pale, seemed eager to do so and hurriedly ran out. Ah-Dai looked at the rock, and the rock still smiled without making a sound. After a while, except for Ah-Dai's three people, all the gamblers had left the door. The short and stout middle-aged man ordered his subordinates to close the gate. Dozens of thugs surrounded Ah-Dai's three people in the center. He looked at Ah-Dai's magician attire and said coldly: "The three of you are probably not locals, but since you've come, you're guests. If you want to take your winnings and leave immediately, that's fine. If you still want to continue gambling, I'll accompany you." Although the more than 30,000 gold coins were a huge sum for him, the cunning and treacherous middle-aged man also understood that these people were not easy to deal with, especially since they had a magician on their side.

  Yan Shi burst out laughing and said: "Of course we have to bet, I've already placed the stake. Let's get started then."

  A stout middle-aged man said, "I am the boss here, others call me Fat Uncle. Although one of you is a noble magician, this is Dark City. If you don't want to die, leave immediately."

  "The rock growled: 'What if we don't leave?'"

  Fat Uncle's face trembled slightly, his narrow eyes narrowed, and a fierce light flashed continuously. He said in a cold voice: "Then I can only send you on your way. Come on, first kill that magician."

  Dozens of thugs shouted and rushed up, with more than a dozen people rushing towards Ah-Dai. How could Ah-Dai take these weak thugs seriously? He was furious, his energy bursting out of his body, and his intense fighting spirit filled him. The thugs who rushed to his front were blown away in an instant. Yan Shi and Yan Li did not draw their weapons, using only their fists and feet, and in just a few moments, they beat the thugs until they fell to the ground, moaning incessantly, losing their ability to fight.

  Fat Uncle's face was trembling with rage, but he didn't show any fear. He glared at the Rock Brothers and bellowed: "You dare to cause trouble here? Aren't you afraid of death?"

  With a flash of black light, Yan Li's large axe was placed on Fei Shu's neck, and he sneered: "Looking for death? I think it's you who will die first."

  Yan Shi Dao: "Normally, you've also squeezed out the blood and sweat of many people. Today, if you don't shed some blood, we won't leave. Hmm, with a casino of this scale, you must have assets worth over 100,000 gold coins."

  The chill that seeped from the battle-axe made Fat Uncle's chubby face turn exceptionally pale, and his voice trembled as he said: "Y-you, what do you want to do? I-I'm a relative of the city lord, now quickly roll out and I can still plead with the city lord on your behalf, spare, spare your lives."

  Looking at the fierce appearance of the fat man, Ah Diao frowned and said: "Brother Rock, how are we going to deal with him?"

  The rock smiled slightly and said, "People like this who open gambling dens are all scum, killing him wouldn't be excessive." With a coordinated effort, the war axe pressed down on Fat Uncle's dignified head, causing him to fall to the ground under the heavy pressure. The sharp edge of the axe had already scratched the skin on his neck, and the searing pain made this arrogant casino boss finally feel fear. "Don't, don't kill me. I surrender." For him, life was always more important than dignity.

  The rock growled and said, "We don't have to kill you, but you must give us all your family's possessions."

  "Alright, alright, I'll give you 50,000 gold coins. That's all I have."

  The rock looked at the casino, which was about 300 or 400 square meters in size, shook its head and said: "You don't have any sincerity at all! 50,000? Do you think we are beggars? Alright, give us 100,000 gold coins and we will leave immediately. However, your casino is not allowed to open again from now on. Otherwise, next time we come and see you again, we will take your head directly."

  "Uncle Fatty cried out: 'You, you want my life! Where would I have that much money?!'"

  Gangshan Dao: "A casino of this scale, one million gold coins is already a low price, hurry up and pay, otherwise don't blame us for being impolite."

  Fat uncle said with a bitter face: "Although the income here is still possible, most of it has to be handed over to the city master, and there's hardly anything left for myself. Master, just let me off."

  Fat uncle's tearful face softened Ah Diao's heart, and he said, "Big brother, forget it."

  Yanshi glanced at Ah Dai, sighed slightly in his heart and said: "Ah Dai, have you forgotten that Vatana was driven to attempt suicide by these vampires? Asking him for 100,000 gold coins is not too much."

  Thinking of Wata's crying last night, Ah-Dai frowned and didn't say anything else.

  Yan Li's patience was wearing thin, and with a downward swing of his battle-axe, there was a faint "crack" sound. Fei Shu's right arm snapped instantly, and the intense pain made him let out a blood-curdling scream like a pig being slaughtered. He rolled around on the ground non-stop. Yan Shi glared at Yan Li with a stern expression and said in a deep voice, "Do you want money or your life? Choose one for yourself."

  The intense pain distorted Fat Uncle's face, and he gritted his teeth, saying: "I, I'll give, I'll give." As he spoke, his trembling hands reached into his bosom and shakily pulled out a card, which he handed over. Rock took the card and saw that it had many strange symbols on its black surface. "What is this?"

  Fat Uncle said: "This, this is a magic crystal card used nationwide, which records all my family property. You can withdraw money from any silver shop, with a total of over 103,000 gold coins. Give it to you, let me go."

  This thing is rock-solid, it's the first time I've seen it, and I'm a bit puzzled, Ah-Dai walked up to him, feeling the extremely weak magical energy on the card, said: "This card is made of special metal, and there are weak energy fluctuations, it should be real. Big brother, let's go." In fact, Ah-Dai couldn't confirm whether the card was real or not, but the atmosphere in the casino made him feel very uncomfortable, especially the wailing voices, which filled his kind heart with conflict. He knew that these people were not good people, but he still couldn't bear to see them suffering.

  "Alright, let's go. Fat Uncle, remember this: if I see you reopening this gambling den again, watch out for your pig head."

  At this moment, the casino's door suddenly opened and a team of soldiers in black light armor rushed in under the leadership of a general. Fat Uncle was overjoyed to see the newcomers, "General Ma Rui, please save me! These robbers are going to steal my property."

  The general, called Ma Rui by Fei Shu, frowned and looked at the people lying on the ground. He shouted angrily: "Where are you from? Dare to be wild in our Dark City." His soldiers quickly drew their weapons and surrounded A Dai and his two companions.

  The three men were shocked at the same time, these soldiers may not be strong, but they represent the army, if there is a conflict with them, it will inevitably affect their main purpose for coming here. Suddenly, Ah-Dai's mind flashed with an idea, and he quickly said: "Brother, we originally came here to gamble and have some fun, but this casino cheated us, so we made them compensate for our losses." As he spoke, he kicked the roulette wheel, revealing a trembling casino staff hiding inside.
