"Haha! Looks like I've won this round!"
He Shen laughed heartily at Gambling Life, secretly chuckling to himself. With Gambling Life's skills, it's truly not an exaggeration—play against Gambling Life a thousand tis, and he still won't know what hit him.
"You won." Gambling Life uttered the three words he didn't want to say, but he couldn't discern how He Shen cheated, so he reluctantly admitted defeat. Even if he wanted revenge, it's best to wait until Ye Hao returns; otherwise, he certainly can't confidently win against He Shen.
"Haha, precisely 380 million." He Shen laughed joyfully, but his gaze drifted toward the dozen or so bags of cash from the luxury mansion.
"Pay up." Gambling Life struggled to say these two words; Lv Dong didn't budge, nor did Qiu San.
The two assistants accompanying Gambling Life had no choice but to step forward and count the money to pay He Shen.
He Shen laughed, "Seems like the luxury casino can afford to lose."
"I said it, the luxury mansion opens its doors to do business." Gambling Life coldly snorted; though he lost, he still had to honor the bet and admit defeat.
"Then let's continue!" Seeing Gambling Life's expression, He Shen only smiled slightly, not turning harsher despite his cold tone.
Gambling Life saw He Shen's aggressive deanor, and felt infuriated, wanting to continue. But Lv Dong took out a ssage for him to see.
Gambling Life glanced at it; upon seeing it was a suspension order from Qin Xiweng, he forcibly resisted the urge to wager again.
The reason Qin Xiweng sent the suspension ssage was because he'd received information that Ye Hao was returning to Huaxia—a ti to hold off for now. Otherwise, losing strategically now and later seeking trouble would be ridiculed.
Indeed! Although being forced into suspension would also be laughed at, at least their strength remained—they'd just wait until Ye Hao returned to decide what to do.
"What? Not continuing?" He Shen, observing Gambling King's deanor, guessed it might be the luxury mansion's big boss halting operations.
"Yes, the luxury mansion will suspend operations for reorganization from today." Gambling Life hesitated at first, but felt relieved after making the decision.
"Haha, suspending operations?" He Shen laughed heartily, refraining from direct taunts against the mansion, but his laughter unmistakably mocked their ineffectiveness—after just a few bets, they needed to suspend operations to close down.
"Yes." Gambling Life repeated.
Onlookers chuckled disdainfully.
"Seems like the luxury mansion is strong outside but weak inside!"
"Exactly! Only two bets, won one and lost one; yet losing one cost them 380 million, making a suspension understandable." So expressed understanding towards the mansion.
"Well, regardless of the mansion being closed, there are other casinos to enjoy; let's go!" So expressed that the mansion closing wouldn't affect their gambling elsewhere.
More people mocked the mansion, even berating it as useless.
Gambling Life, Lv Dong, Qiu San, and others turned pale, but what could they say in such circumstances? They were simply outmatched.
Yet being outmatched—what then? Talk tough? That would just incite more ridicule, so they all stood in silent frustration.
He Shen noticed and laughed even more arrogantly, saying, "Initially, I thought the mansion could at least satisfy a gambler's desires, but not a chance, not a chance!"
"What do you an?" Gambling Life abruptly cald down.
"I an, the mansion is just trash..." He Shen shed his initial steadiness, adopting arrogance and flamboyance.
"Those who insult the mansion usually don't end well; that's my advice to you." Gambling Life replied coldly.
"Oh really, then what? Unhappy about not continuing?" He Shen smirked provocatively at Gambling Life.
"I won't co, but I can tell you without reservation, today you insulted the mansion; soday, the mansion will definitely visit you." Gambling Life finished and ordered the casino cleaned, suspending operations.
"Haha, cowards. If the mansion has any skills, just co! Today you suspend; next ti won't be so easy—even when the mansion retires." He Shen boasted arrogantly.
Gambling Life ignored him and left the casino, intending to report directly to Qin Xiweng—despite Qin being younger, he was the mansion's president as decided by Ye Hao.
Moreover, during Qin Xiweng's tenure, they all witnessed Qin's thods, earning their wholehearted respect.
Lv Dong snorted, "We'll rember everything you said today."
Qiu San snorted too, "Hope you won't regret it."
"Haha! , regret? Impossible. If you're displeased, co find in Macau!" He Shen exclaid laughingly, taking the money—his gesture enraged Lv Dong and Qiu San, who almost wanted to hit him.
After He Shen departed, Lv Dong and Qiu San instructed their subordinates to dismiss the onlookers, intending to reorganize the mansion casino luxuriously before inviting guests again.
When the mansion casino shut down, word spread locally. Many people were curious why the mansion casino closed and when it would reopen.
After leaving the mansion casino, Gambling Life directly called Qin Xiweng—being part of the mansion's leadership, calling Qin directly was permissible.
Upon connection, Gambling Life spoke forlornly, "President Qin, I lost."
"Haha, winning or losing is normal in warfare; who hasn't won or lost in life? The key is to enjoy feeling of loss, then break through and find one's shortcomings." Qin Xiweng chuckled over the phone.
"But I lost 380 million, and the mansion casino closed." Gambling Life wanted to match Qin's optimism, but losing three billion genuinely weighed on him.
"Isn't it just 380 million? Weren't you given a billion? There's still 620 million left." Qin Xiweng chuckled.
"What do you an, President Qin?" Gambling Life asked, bewildered.
"Haha, the boss said to let you lose a few billion first, so there's an excuse to trouble people later; otherwise, without them profiting, we'd lack reasons." Qin Xiweng laughed.
"Ah? The boss is back?" Gambling Life excitedly inquired.
"Just arrived, probably back at Dragon and Phoenix Castle now. Regarding the casino, once the boss handles matters, he'll naturally take you to Macau to reclaim." Qin Xiweng reassured Gambling Life.
"Haha, fantastic, the boss is back—President Qin, you wouldn't believe how annoying that He Shen is, acting all superior after winning." Gambling Life ranted angrily.
"Haha, doesn't matter; he'll be unable to laugh soon enough." Qin Xiweng appeased Gambling Life once more.
At this mont, Ye Hao also returned to Dragon and Phoenix Castle... (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welco to visit QiDian (qidian) to vote for recomndation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian to read.)
