Chapter Sixty: Dark Tycoon Nightclub

  Everyone please support San Shao's new book "Only I am a Cultivator": /showbook.asp?Bl_id=40717

  Ma Rui didn't know how Fat Uncle was cheating, he had never had a good impression of this fat man, but the fat man and the city master were somewhat related, so he had to take care of him. Usually, Fat Uncle would indeed give him some benefits. But now, he didn't dare to make a move against the three people in front of him, because he clearly saw the nine golden six-pointed stars on Ah Dai's shoulder. He wasn't very familiar with magic, but he had heard that the more six-pointed stars a magician had on their shoulder, the higher their status in the Magician's Guild. The fire magician in front of him actually had nine six-pointed stars, which meant he was an important figure in the Magician's Guild. Although the Magician's Guild didn't have much influence over the Empire of Sunset, the magicians' superior status couldn't be ignored. They had a close relationship with the Church, and the Church was the Empire's greatest reliance. Not to mention him, even the city master wouldn't dare offend them. Moreover, in Black City, strength represented everything. The three people in front of him were obviously not weak, if they really clashed, he wouldn't end up well either. Thinking of this, he hastily said: "Mr. Magician, although it's cheating at the casino, you've already injured many of them. I think we can just let this matter go."

  The three of them were stunned at the same time, they originally thought that these soldiers would definitely help Fat Uncle deal with them, but unexpectedly they were so easy to talk to. Ah-Dai said: "Since General said so, then forget it, Rocky brother, let's go." He pulled up Rocky and walked out.

  Fat uncle covered his broken arm, crying and shouting: "General Ma Rui, they robbed me of my money! That's all my family's property, you, why don't you catch them? I paid so much tax, doesn't the army protect my property?"

  Ma Rui glared at him and said impatiently, "Less nonsense." The sharp gaze made Fei Shu dare not argue again, watching Ah Dai and the others leave with wide eyes. After Ah Dai and the others left, Ma Rui said to Fei Shu, "Didn't you see that there's a high-level magician among them? Even if it's the lord of the city, he won't easily offend the Magician's Guild. Don't you understand the rules of Hei An City? Great power is everything. This time, admit defeat, Fei Shu."

  "Uncle Fatty trembled and said: 'But, but they took away my family's livelihood! How can I live in the future?'"

  Ma Rui coldly snorted, "Wealth can be earned again if it's lost, but lives cannot be regained once they're gone. If that magician uses a high-level fire spell, not only will you be finished, but we'll also be hard-pressed to escape. You want your wealth back? Go get it yourself! I'm not daring to offend the Magician's Guild so carelessly. You clean up this mess yourself. We're leaving." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left with his subordinates, leaving behind Fat Uncle who was trembling all over in pain due to most of his family property being stolen.

  As they left the casino, Rock pulled Watanabe along, and the four of them quickly made their way to a dark corner. They stopped in their tracks, and Watanabe asked anxiously, "Earlier, I saw the military go in - are you guys okay?" Rock shook his head, saying, "We're fine, Uncle Watanabe - do you recognize this thing?" He handed over the magical crystal card that Fat Uncle had given him.

  Wattana's eyes lit up and he said: "This is a savings card commonly used in the Empire of Sunset! You're not outsiders, are you? How do you have this?"

  The rock smiled slightly and said, "It seems that fat guy didn't cheat us."

  "Big Brother Rock, can we not do this kind of thing anymore? I feel very uncomfortable." He stood there with his head down, a growing sense of disgust churning in his chest.

  "Ah-Dan brother, these are all the casino's tricks to swindle money from those gamblers. We haven't done anything wrong, you're just too kind-hearted."

  Ah-Dai still hung his head and said, "Although the casino cheated people out of their money, which is not right, didn't we also go too far? If Fat Uncle loses everything, how will he live in the future?" The events that occurred at the casino deeply shocked him, and the act of taking by force made him feel extremely uneasy.

  The rock smiled and shook his head, saying: "Silly brother, you're still too simple. You think that fat guy only has this much money? He must have other savings, otherwise, even if it's just to save his life, he wouldn't take it out so readily. Alright, don't say anything else, big brother promises you, we won't do this kind of thing again, is that okay?"

  "Big brother, thank you." Ah Diao said gratefully with a surge of joy in his heart.

  Yanshi burst out laughing and said, "We're all brothers, what's there to thank? Let's go, first help Uncle Vatana return the money. Then we still have important things to attend to."

  Three people in a casino, despite the obvious disadvantage, still managed to leave safely and even won money, which greatly increased Vatana's confidence in them. He was no longer as fearful as before and led the three of them towards the dark city. The dark city was indeed very large, and the four of them walked for over two hours, passing through seven or eight major streets before arriving at the casino where Vatana had lost all his possessions. This casino was a four-story building with a magnificent exterior, and there were two slender young girls standing at the entrance, constantly flashing professional smiles. Although there weren't many gamblers coming and going, most of them arrived in luxurious carriages, clearly not in the same league as Fat Uncle's casino.

  Wattana gazed at the casino in front of him, his eyes revealing a bewildered expression, muttering to himself: "It was here, it was here, my family's fortune was completely lost here!"

  Looking at the huge golden sign of the casino, Ah-Dai read out loud in the sacred language: "Dark Night Casino". He suddenly felt a warmth in his chest, reached into his pocket and took out the Spirit Ring, only to find that the green glow on it had intensified. A hint of joy flashed across Rocky's eyes as he whispered to Ah-Dai: "Brother, looks like we're going to have to make another bet, this casino might just have a member of the Spirit Clan."

  A'Dai nodded, saving the spirit was more important than anything else. He clenched his fist tightly around the Spirit Ring and asked, "Then what should we do?"

  Yan Shi Dao: "Let's go in and help Wata Na pay back his debt first, then we'll play it by ear."

  Wattana seemed to be reminiscing about his past, staring intently at the entrance of the Dark City Nightclub. "This is absolutely the biggest money pit in Dark City," he said. "My tens of millions of assets were all entrusted here. Why, why was I so stupid? I threw away my life's work, accumulated over twenty years!" As he spoke, his body trembled with agitation, and his eyes became moist.

  Ah-Dai patted Watan's shoulder and said, "Uncle, don't be sad anymore. Once we help you pay back the money, you can start over again. And from now on, don't go gambling again."

  "Wagering, wagering, I was ruined by this. From now on, I will never set foot in a gambling den again! Ah-Dai younger brother, I now just want to live an ordinary and plain life!" As he said the last sentence, Wataina suddenly revealed a look of yearning.

  "The Dark Castle itself is a huge dye vat, sometimes it's not something you can control. I suggest you leave here thoroughly and go to the Hua Sheng Empire instead. That place might be a paradise for you."

  Vatana's eyes lit up, saying: "The Hua Sheng Empire, yes! Maybe in that righteous country I can find a way to survive. But, but I've heard that they're under martial law over there, and they won't welcome someone like me from the Rakuyo Empire either."

  The rock smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, we have a way to help you. Let's go, we should get going, first pay off your debt, and then there's nothing to worry about later. Uncle Vatana, remember, after we enter, just say that we are your distant relatives, hearing that you're in trouble, we came specifically to help you, we don't want the casino people to be suspicious."

  Wattana nodded, took a deep breath, and strode towards the Dark Emperor Nightclub. The three idiots followed closely behind him. As they reached the entrance, the two lovely young girls greeted them with smiling faces.

  "Hey, isn't this Watanabe the boss? How is it that you have money again? The people who came to collect debts just got back. If you haven't brought the debt from your gamble, I advise you to quickly flee in defeat." Two young girls covered their mouths and laughed, laughing with blooming flowers. Their plump bodies kept shaking, buttocks and breasts trembling continuously.

  Ganryu stared intently at the two girls' plump bodies, swallowing a mouthful of saliva. Wattana glared at the girl who had spoken, saying: "Master is back today to repay his debt, didn't you see that I brought honored guests? They are my distant relatives, do your bosses teach you to treat customers with this attitude?"

  The eyes of the two girls first fell on the majestic body of the rock, and suddenly shone brightly. One to the left and one to the right, they surrounded the rock, "So it's a noble guest arriving! I'm so sorry, come in quickly!"

  The rock let out a cold hum, and the glint in his eyes sent shivers down the spines of the two girls, who didn't dare to get close. Along with Ah-Dai, they followed Vatana into the distance. Rock stayed behind, pinching a girl's buttocks with force, revealing an intoxicated expression, "Miss, are you free tonight?"

  These two door-keeping girls were obviously well-trained and didn't get angry at all despite Rock's thin build. One of the girls leaned against Rock, who was a head shorter than her, and said in a soft voice: "Sir, although we're not free tonight, if you're willing to pay a good price, our boss will let us go with you. At that time, what do you want to do, isn't it up to your heart's desire?"

  Yan Li was being teased by two young girls, Yan Qi and Yan Er, in the Pu Yan tribe. He had always been tightly controlled by his elders and never had the chance to indulge himself, plus he was short in stature. Although he was a renowned warrior in the tribe, those beautiful maidens all looked down on him, and up until now, he still hadn't touched a woman. These two flirtatious girls had already stirred up the most primitive flames in his heart. "A Li, what are you doing? Hurry up and come in." Yan Shi saw that Yan Li wasn't following him in, so he went back to look for him, but instead saw Yan Li laughing and joking with the two gatekeeper girls, which made him slightly angry inside.

  Yan Li was startled and quickly broke free from the entanglement of the two women, running to Yan Shi's side. Yan Shi's face was as cold as water, his voice stern: "A Li, remember this, if you dare to touch those filthy women with polluted souls, don't blame me for not recognizing you as my brother, I'll immediately send you back to the Pu Yan tribe."

  For rocks, Rock still fears, face red, head down and said: "Big, big brother, I didn't..."

  "Not yet, if I don't come out again, you'd probably want to execute me on the spot. What's so good about those women? Who knows how many people have messed with them? I didn't notice before that you still have a lustful habit. Hmph."

  "Big brother, spare me, I won't dare anymore. Ah! Hurry up and leave, or we'll lose Daidai later." He said, rushing to run inside. Yanshi let out a helpless sigh, it seemed that he really had to keep an eye on this little rascal, absolutely couldn't let him go astray. Sometimes, taking one wrong step could change a person's life.

  Inside the Dark Luxury Nightclub, the decorations were more luxurious than the exterior. The floor was covered with red carpet, and crystal palace lanterns hung on the walls. Beautiful waitresses flitted about, their stunning looks dazzling to behold, making one's mouth water in awe. These waitresses were far more beautiful than the ladies guarding the entrance. After entering, there was a large hall of over 100 square meters. The circular hall was five meters high, surrounded by many plants that added a touch of elegance to its grandeur. On either side, there was a staircase leading up to the next floor. Directly opposite, a golden door with a horizontal plaque bearing three large characters - "Fu Hua Hall". The door was tightly shut, making it impossible to see what lay inside.

  Wattana explained to the three: "This underground casino is divided into four layers. To put it bluntly, it combines sex and gambling as one. The first layer consists of ordinary gamblers, but they must exchange chips worth thousands of gold coins to enter. The second layer consists of some wealthy people, with a minimum exchange of 10,000 gold coins per chip. As for the third layer, they are all high-society people, mostly nobles or extremely wealthy tycoons, as well as some alchemists and magicians."

  "Ah? What? Alchemists also come to this kind of place?"

  Wattana nodded, "Yes! Alchemists are even more respected than magicians. Some of the items they refine can be sold for a high price, making them one of the richest people on the continent. They are also the most honored guests at this Dark Night Club, usually going straight to the third floor."

  Ah-Dai thought to himself, surely Professor Goris wouldn't come to a place like this. He too had never been here before, and if not for Vatana having said that he had lost tens of thousands at this very location, he would have found it hard to believe that such an opulent and grandiose place was actually a den of thieves.

  Wattana continued, "The fourth floor is usually not accessible to many people. It's reserved for customers who can afford it and have a very high social status. I've heard from others that it's not a gambling venue, but rather like a hotel where the most esteemed guests from the third floor can rest. They say that on that floor, no matter what you want to do, the nightclub will satisfy you. There are many beautiful young girls inside."

  "Uncle, you said this Dark Luxury Nightclub has how many assets?"

  Wattana's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he muttered: "It's hard to say, but just this property alone is probably worth tens of millions of gold coins. Their daily income is absolutely not less than one million gold coins, which means it's equivalent to the tax revenue of an ordinary city. However, I heard that about half of their income has to be handed over to Dark City. Although Dark City may not be the richest city on the continent, it's definitely among the top three. But that doesn't mean everyone in this city is wealthy; only those nobles and big merchants are the real winners. Even my family business back then was nothing compared to them. In the rich district of the city, many people own assets worth tens of millions or more."

  Everyone was pondering Wata's words, shocked by the situation in Dark City, when suddenly a somewhat sharp voice rang out: "Ah! Wata, you actually dare to come back, just in time to save me from having to go find you. Today, if you don't pay up, you won't be leaving here alive!" A slender middle-aged man walked over, followed by two burly henchmen. Ah-Dai detected that they all had considerable martial arts skills from the aura around them.

  Wattana saw the middle-aged man, and his whole body shook. Subconsciously, he hid behind Ah Dai. Ah Dai stepped forward and said, "Don't bother Wattana uncle, we're here to pay him back."

  The middle-aged man was shocked when he saw Ah-Dai's magnificent magician attire, and the number of magicians in the Empire of Dusk was extremely rare. Although he had seen a lot, he couldn't tell Ah-Dai's level. He politely said: "So you're a magician, sir. I apologize for earlier. Your presence here is truly an honor to our humble abode!"

  "Are you the boss here? We've come to repay Uncle Vatana's debt."

  The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Magician, Jin Bo is just a small manager, not the boss. Since you are willing to pay back Wata's debt, let's talk about it later." He made a gesture of invitation to Ah Dai. Ah Dai turned his head to look at Yan Shi, who nodded slightly towards him.

  Four people followed Jinbo to a large room on the first floor of the nightclub. The room was tastefully decorated, with walls wrapped in luxurious decorative cloth, and a large table in the middle, flanked by several wide sofas. Jinbo said: "Please take a seat."

  The sofa was soft and comfortable, sitting on it had a feeling of sinking in. After several people sat down, Jin Bo walked to the back of the table, pulled out a piece of paper from a neatly arranged stack, and said: "This is the IOU written by Mr. Vatana when he borrowed money from us, totaling 15,000 gold coins. Up to now, it has been three months overdue, with interest accrued, and should be repaid with 45,000 gold coins. Since you are all here to help him repay the debt, please pay up."

  Wattana's face turned red with anger, and he exclaimed, "What? I borrowed 15,000, how did it become 45,000 gold coins when I repay it? It's only been three months!"

  Jin Bo's mouth curled up in a faint, cold smile. "Wattana, don't forget, we're running a usury business here. Out of respect for the magician, sir, we've already reduced the interest by several points. This isn't a lot, to be honest. If we were to calculate everything, I'm afraid even 50,000 wouldn't be enough."

  A'Dai's anger surged, and Vatana had already been driven to this point. This Dark Night Association still wouldn't let him off, and he couldn't help but angrily say: "You're being too ruthless! Suddenly demanding an additional 30,000 gold coins, aren't you trying to drive Uncle Vatana to his death? What if he doesn't have the money?"

  Because Ah-Dai was a magician, Jin-Bo didn't dare to be too presumptuous and said lightly: "This is the rule set by our boss, I have no way. If you can't pay back, then I can only say sorry, human life is worth more than these gold coins after all. However, since you are a magician, you shouldn't mind this small amount of money."

  Forty-five thousand gold coins were actually called small change by him, and even the kind-hearted Ah-Dai couldn't help but feel a surge of anger. Now he finally understood why Yanshi had been so ruthless to Fei-Shu earlier. Just as he was about to argue back, he was stopped by Yanshi. Yanshi threw the black magic crystal card obtained from Fei-Shu onto the table and said: "You should recognize this thing. Take the money out of it, it's enough to pay off the debt that Wata-Na uncle owes you."

  Jin Bo saw the black magic crystal card and suddenly had a smile all over his face. "Alright, alright, since you've helped Mr. Watanabe pay back the money, we guarantee that we won't bother him again from now on. The reputation of our Dark Night Club is absolutely the best. You few please wait here for a moment, I'll go and come right back." As he spoke, he turned around and walked out. His two bodyguards stood at the door, clearly with the intention of keeping an eye on them.

  Ah-Dai looked at the rock and frowned: "Big brother, how can you give them so much money? They're taking advantage of us."

  The rock let out a cold hum and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, the wool is on the sheep's back. Now you know how despicable these bastards are. After we deal with Uncle Vatana's matter, we'll get it back using the old method. There's a trace of the Spirit Clan here, we must find out something."

  This time, Ah-Dai no longer refused. Not only to save the spirit, but also for Jinbo's appearance earlier had ignited a fire of anger in his heart. He also wanted to teach these human-eating demons a lesson.

  Wattana sat there awkwardly and said dejectedly, "I, I didn't know it would be like this. To think that you all spent so much money, how can I show my face?"

  "Uncle, don't say that," Ah Diao smiled and said. "Since we promised to help you, we will definitely see it through to the end."

  In a short while, Jin Bo returned with a smile all over his face. He respectfully handed the card back to Rocky and said: "I have already transferred 45,000 gold coins from the card. From now on, we no longer have any debt problems with Mr. Wattana." As he spoke, he picked up the IOU on the table and tore it into pieces in a few quick movements.

  Yan Shi asked: "Mr. Jin Bo, I don't know if it's possible here to directly withdraw cash using a magic crystal card."

  Jin Bodao: "No problem, sir wants to take some money and have a little fun?"

  The rock smiled slightly and said, "Dark Night Casino is the largest casino in Dark City. Since you're here, it's not right to leave without playing a few rounds. How about this? I think there are still over 50,000 gold coins on this card. Take out 55,000 gold coins for me, exchange 50,000 of them into chips, and change the remaining 5,000 into purple crystal coins."

  As soon as he heard that the rock was going to be exchanged for 50,000 gold coins, Jin Bo's eyes lit up and he repeatedly agreed, turning around and running out, this time even his bodyguard followed him.

  "Uncle, wait a moment and I'll give you 5,000 gold coins. Take this money to the Hua Sheng Empire. When you arrive at the garrison, just say that Dragon Magic sent you, and the guards shouldn't stop you. With this money, it's enough for you to live a peaceful life for the rest of your days. Ah-Dai, do you have any token or something? It would be best to give one to Uncle Wata Na. That Xifei guy is too suspicious."

  Ah-Dai thought for a moment, then said: "I really don't have anything to use as proof, how about this: when Jinbo gets back, I'll get him to lend me paper and pen, and I'll write a letter to Uncle Vatana."

  "The rock nodded and said, 'It's fine this way.'"

  Wattana's whole body trembled with gratitude, tears streaming down his face, and he knelt to the ground, about to kowtow to the three of them. Ah Dai and Yan Shi hastily pulled him up, Ah Dai saying: "Uncle, please don't do this, it would be too humiliating for us."

  "Watana burst into tears and exclaimed: 'You, you are truly my reborn parents! If there is another life, I will definitely repay you by being a cow or a horse.'"

  At this time, Jin Bo had already returned at a speed twice as fast as before. One of his bodyguards was carrying a large tray with stacks of golden chips on it. He also held a leather bag made from high-quality cowhide in his hand and handed the bag to Rocky, without even looking at Vatana on the ground, saying: "Sir, there are fifty diamond coins inside, I think you'll find them convenient to use. These are chips, you can go straight upstairs and play with them. I've already given instructions. Our people will definitely provide you with the best service."

  Yan Shi stuffed the money bag into Wata's hand and smiled: "Mr. Jin Bo, you're really thoughtful!"

  Jin Bo still had a hypocritical smile on his face, nodding and bowing: "Serving noble guests well is our highest mission and honor. Here is your magic crystal card, when you leave, you can also directly transfer the money you won to the card."

  "Ah-Dai asked strangely: 'How did you know we would win?'"

  Jin Bo's face turned red with rage, but he forced a smile and said: "Just one look at you few is auspicious, I think, you must be able to win."

  Yan Shi coldly smiled and said: "Then thank you for your auspicious words. Mr. Jin Bo, can I borrow your pen and paper to use?"

  "Of course," Jinbo hastily replied. He took out a sheet of white paper from the table, smoothed it out, and handed over the pen. Ah-Dai took the pen, thought for a moment, and was about to start writing when he noticed Jinbo still standing beside him. He let out a cold snort, his aura surging, Jinbo's face changed color, a flash of cold light passing through his eyes, and with an awkward smile, he retreated to the side.

  The silly pen moves like a dragon and snake, quickly writing a good letter, handed it to Wattana's hand, "Uncle, you take it and go, it will definitely work. It's time to leave."

  "Hey, gentlemen, aren't you going to play anymore?" Jinbo asked hastily from the side.

  "Hey, what's the rush? We have to see Uncle Vatana off first!" After saying that, the three of them accompanied Vatana all the way to the door. Only after Vatana thanked them profusely did he turn and leave. Watching Vatana's back, Ah-Dai revealed a warm smile, for helping others was always his greatest joy.

  "The rock said in a low voice: 'Brother, we're starting again, same old way.'"

  The three of them returned to Jinbo's office, where Jinbo handed the chips to Rocky and said, "You three please go ahead. I won't accompany you anymore. If there's anything that doesn't satisfy you, just come find me and I'll definitely help you resolve it."

  "Hopefully you're not here to pressure us for debt," Ah Dun said coldly. "Let's go, big brother." With that, the three of them turned and left the room.

  Watching the three people leave, a strange smile appeared on Jinbo's face, and his eyes sparkled, completely erasing the humble and submissive look from before.

  Three silly men came to the second floor of the Dark Night Club, the casino's entrance on the second floor was almost identical to that on the first floor. The sign above it read "Rich and Noble Hall" in three large characters. However, there were two rows of young girls standing in front of the door, wearing light blue short skirts and white sleeveless vests, their full figures exuding temptation, their bare long legs teasing the hearts of the three men. As soon as they saw the three silly men coming up, three of the most beautiful girls immediately came forward to greet them.

  "Welcome, esteemed guests, to the Dark Emperor's Nightclub, Hall of Wealth and Honor." A silvery voice rang out, giving people a comfortable feeling.

  Yan Li's face turned red, and he rubbed his hands excitedly, clearly moved by the girls. Ah Dai faced this situation for the first time, suddenly feeling at a loss, looking to Yan Shi for help. Among the three of them, only Yan Shi could maintain a calm state, these girls were full of temptation, but how could they compare to the fairy cloud girl in his heart? Cloud girl was dead, and Yan Shi's heart was also dead, looking at these beauties, there was no ripple in his heart. He said calmly: "Take us inside."

  Three girls bowed simultaneously, "Yes." One of the girls took over the poker chips from Iwaki's hand, while the other two girls opened the door and made a welcoming gesture.

  The hall of wealth is extremely large, with an area of over 2,000 square meters. The floor is still covered with red carpet, and various gaming equipment is sparsely placed inside. There are not many gamblers, less than a hundred people, but each person has a girl dressed in the same attire as the girls outside the door accompanying them. They have smiles on their faces, throwing out or receiving chips for their customers.

  Those wealthy merchants, with their bulging bellies and fat faces, were mostly engaged in lavish gambling while constantly groping the young girls beside them. The girls didn't dodge or evade, occasionally bursting into silvery laughter, their alluring eyes making one feel like committing a crime. Some slightly less attractive servant girls continuously carried various fine wines and pastries among the guests, allowing the wealthy merchants to take whatever they wanted.
