Kohei Kojiro, at the mont he saw Luo Chao, his expression slightly changed, and he quickly made his way through the crowd toward Luo Chao.
"Sir, is this sea bream sashimi not to your taste?" Kohei Kojiro asked, sowhat surprised, as he looked at the half-eaten sashimi on Luo Chao's plate.
At this point, everyone in the restaurant except Luo Chao had already polished off their plates of sea bream sashimi. Leaving only Luo Chao with a half-eaten portion, this clearly wasn't just a case of eating slowly.
Kohei Kojiro's culinary skills were exceptional, and he had imnse confidence in his dishes.
In all these years, he had never encountered soone who didn't finish his dish.
"No, no, it's quite delicious." Luo Chao smiled gently and picked up another piece of sashimi to eat.
"You didn't dip it in soy sauce," Kohei Kojiro observed coldly, staring at Luo Chao.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot." With that, Luo Chao dipped another piece of sashimi in a bit of soy sauce before eating it.
"You forgot the wasabi this ti!" Kohei Kojiro's tone noticeably grew more displeased.
"Uh... I'm not used to wasabi." Luo Chao gave an awkward smile.
"Not used to it?" Kohei Kojiro pointed at Luo Chao's plate, where half the wasabi was left, and said, "You're not used to it, yet you ate half the wasabi?"
"Oh, that's because I..." Luo Chao was just about to give a forced explanation, but Kohei Kojiro interrupted him.
"Enough! Stop brushing off! Tell , what's wrong with my sea bream sashimi?" Kohei Kojiro demanded angrily.
Although Kohei Kojiro was asking Luo Chao, his grip on the two sharp knives suggested that if Luo Chao's answer didn't satisfy him, he might just stab him on the spot!
Luo Chao was a bit helpless. To be fair, Kohei Kojiro's sea bream sashimi was indeed well made.
But Luo Chao, having tasted many top-notch dishes, had a very discerning palate.
Besides, he had a bowl of noodles before boarding the cruise, so he simply wasn't hungry.
"Sorry, I'm full."
Luo Chao had avoided telling the truth to spare Kohei Kojiro's pride, but as Kohei Kojiro seed about to lose his temper, Luo Chao had to speak frankly to prevent the situation from escalating.
"Full?"
Hearing this, Kohei Kojiro had to suppress his anger. After all, if soone said they were full, he couldn't force them to eat.
But Kohei Kojiro had witnessed soone once go to the extent of inducing vomiting just to make room to eat his dishes!
So overall, it was clear his sea bream sashimi hadn't entirely captivated this young man here.
Considering this, Kohei Kojiro steeled himself, ready to use so special thod to make Luo Chao vomit what was in his stomach!
As Kohei Kojiro was about to take action, Zhou Delong suddenly interrupted, "Hey! Young man, if you're not planning to eat it, can I have your sea bream sashimi?"
Listening to Zhou Delong's words, Luo Chao knew Zhou Delong was helping him out.
So Luo Chao glanced at Kohei Kojiro and, seeing no extra expression on his face, quickly put on a flattering smile and went to Zhou Delong with his plate.
"Master Zhou, please enjoy!" Luo Chao pretended not to know Zhou Delong and offered him the half plate of sashimi.
"Haha, young man, then I won't hold back!" Zhou Delong took the sashimi with longing, almost drooling!
Soon enough, amid the envious gazes of the crowd, Zhou Delong polished off the rest.
"Hmph!" Kohei Kojiro glared angrily at Luo Chao and quickly left the restaurant.
...
Not long after Kohei Kojiro left, the cruise's restaurant broadcast ca on.
A sweet female voice announced, "Honored guests, the Eastern Star Cruise Ship has reached international waters. After your al, you can head to the cruise hall to enjoy high-stakes gambling!"
"Co on, guys, let's go play cards. I'm going to win big today!"
"Let's go, let's go. My luck is great today; I plan to win at least thirty million tonight, hahaha!"
"Heh, my luck isn't enough for winnings. I brought eight million today and plan to gamble until I'm wiped out. Gambles are for fun, after all!"
These rich gamblers were heavily addicted, and gambling had beco their psychological dependency. So didn't even aim to win, just wanting to have fun!
Soon, the large dining room, once filled with gourts enjoying food, was now empty as the gambling bug drove everyone to the cruise gambling hall.
Zhou Delong and Luo Chao weren't there for gambling today, but until now, Chen Yaoyang hadn't shown up.
Thus, Luo Chao gave Zhou Delong a look, and the two of them followed the crowd to the gambling hall.
When they arrived, many people were already engaged in gambling.
There were poker gas, dice gas, and even slot machines.
Of course, the slot machines on the Eastern Star were modified, accepting tokens worth ten thousand each instead of coins.
At Luo Chao's suggestion, the two headed toward a dice table from a certain distance.
"Big! Big! Big! Oh no, how is it small again? Three smalls in a row!"
"Haha, you're silly! I told you to bet small with , you'd have been right!"
"Damn it, alright, I'll bet three hundred thousand this ti, safe as a dog! Watch win it all back!"
"Small! Small! Small! Shit, how co when I bet small, it cos out big? My luck is too bad!"
At the gambling table, the crowd roared with excitent, with winners and losers. In the end, the only guaranteed winners were the dealers of the World Gambling Association.
At this table, the croupier was a young beauty in her early twenties with decent skills.
Though she was a rookie dealer, her dice control was already more than enough to handle these rich but luck-reliant gamblers.
Among the gamblers, Luo Chao glanced at a surveillance cara in the ceiling's corner and smirked, "If you want to play, I'll play with you!"
