And many more high rollers of all kinds have begun to appear at casinos.

They enjoy the feeling of spending lavishly.

More addicted to the thrill of instant wins and losses, that intense dopamine release...

Those who enter this place all, to varying degrees, harbor this kind of mentality:

Today's high-stakes gamble with rubies, win or lose, seems to bring me a little closer to the King of Northern Myanmar, Lin Dong.

"General Prasong of Thailand just won $300,000 at the baccarat table." Yan Cheng, who was patrolling the hall, heard the report from the monitoring room through his earpiece. "The jadeite rough stone owner at table 17 has already lost $800,000."

The short and stout Lai Changsheng, and the elegant Ling Feifan.

Both of them had just returned to Kokang from China by plane yesterday.

They had just spent over half an hour chatting with Lin Dong, and were still feeling excited...

At this moment, Peng Demin, dressed in a self-defense army uniform, strode over from the end of the corridor.

He leaned close to Lin Dong's ear and whispered his report:

"Boss Lin, the golden Buddha statues have all been stored away, and the Savage Mountain treasure has been handed over to Boss Kun according to the inventory list..."
