Ye Mohan nodded and said, "Our arrival should have been known to the old fox long ago."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

The two then ended the conversation prematurely.

"Brother Yin, are you resting?" Blake's voice came from the tightly closed front door.

Gong Yixue and Ye Mohan exchanged a glance, then looked up at the doorway. "Not yet."

Ye Mohan got up and opened the door.

He saw Blake and nodded to him.

After all, his current role is that of a bodyguard, and he has to maintain appearances.

Then, Blake walked in.

Gong Yixue sat in a chair and looked at Blake, saying, "Brother Blake, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

Blake was quite embarrassed and said, "There was indeed an unexpected incident."

"Brother Yin, my grandfather wants to see you."

Gong Yixue and Ye Mohan exchanged a glance, just as they had expected.

However, Gong Yixue still pretended to be very surprised and said, "See me?"

Blake nodded. "Yeah, but don't worry, I told my grandpa you're my friend, and he won't hurt you easily."

After all, his grandfather's reputation wasn't good, and he figured that as "Brother Yin," he must know that, so he offered an explanation.

Gong Yixue: If your grandfather knew the purpose of their trip, I'm afraid your words wouldn't carry much weight.

She didn't show it on her face and said, "Since I'm new here, I really should pay a visit to the old man."

"Brother Blake, lead the way."

Blake was taken aback at first, and it took him a while to react.

He then smiled and nodded with a sigh of relief.

He originally thought this matter would be difficult to handle, since the two were not familiar with each other.

This request is somewhat abrupt.

The reason he invited "Brother Yin" over was that he thought "Brother Yin" was very skilled at gambling, so he could learn from his experience and make more friends, which would broaden his future prospects.

As she was leaving, Gong Yixue sensed a resentful gaze.

He immediately looked over.

I almost forgot that Ye Mohan was still here.

Gong Yixue spoke up, "Brother Black, may I bring my bodyguard?"

Blake turned to look at Ye Mohan and nodded, saying, "Of course."

This is the Atlantean family, so it's only natural that Brother Yin would bring a bodyguard to ensure his safety.

Blake walked in front, with Gong Yixue and Ye Mohan following behind.

After getting on the bus, we headed towards the mountaintop together.

...

At the mountaintop, the main residence of the Atlantean family.

The vehicle drove from the foot of the mountain all the way to the main house at the top before stopping.

Blake turned to Gong Yixue and said, "Brother Yin, we've arrived."

The group then got out of the car.

Gong Yixue looked at the European-style villa with its classical charm. The gray walls were covered with upright rectangular semi-circular windows, and what was even more distinctive was the triangular spire that was unique to R country.

The villa is surrounded by a large lawn, which looks like a great place to take photos.

Blake looked at the villa in front of him, still feeling somewhat worried. He couldn't figure out what his grandfather was planning to do.

But he didn't dare disobey.

Blake turned to look at Gong Yixue and said, "Brother Yin, let's go in."

Gong Yixue nodded.

Blake and Gong Yixue walked side by side, while Ye Mohan lagged a few steps behind Gong Yixue, following beside her.

With Blake leading the way, the group quickly arrived at the hall.

From a distance, Gong Yixue spotted the first man, a thin-looking old man with sharp features.

My first impression was that this old man was no pushover.

While Gong Yixue was sizing up Conrad, Conrad was also sizing her up.

What a handsome young man.

Is such a person really as ignorant and incompetent as his eldest grandson?

Why does he always feel it's impossible?

While the two were secretly observing, Gong Yixue, led by Blake, had already arrived at the center of the hall.

Blake looked at Conrad and said, "Grandpa, Brother Yin is here."

Conrad nodded slowly, his face expressionless.

Then he looked directly at Gong Yixue and said, "You're the friend my good-for-nothing grandson brought back?"

“Grandpa,” Blake called out disapprovingly, muttering under his breath, “My friend is here, you should at least give me some face.”

Conrad looked at him and sneered, "Am I not telling the truth?"

"Go out and ask around. Who in Boshan County doesn't know that my Atre family is a gambling addict who spends all his time chasing after women?"

Blake fell silent.

Grandpa was telling the truth; his reputation in the entire Boshan County was indeed not very good.

When people talk about their generation, he is the negative example.

Seeing that Blake didn't speak, Conrad turned to look at Gong Yixue.

Gong Yixue said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Brother Blake and I can be considered friends, but what you said is too absolute. Who says that gambling is necessarily a sign of ignorance?"

Blake's eyes lit up as he looked at Gong Yixue.

This was the first time he had ever heard someone say that gambling was not a sign of ignorance or lack of knowledge.

Conrad sneered, "So, according to you, young man, gambling is a good thing?"

Gong Yixue said, "It's not exactly a good thing, but it certainly doesn't mean I'm ignorant and incompetent."

Laymen might think that gambling is simply a matter of winning or losing, and doesn't require any skill.

But those in the know understand that a casino is also a battlefield, and gambling requires both talent and learning to win more than you lose.

Blake nodded in agreement.

Finally, someone understands him.

He just loves gambling.

Only in this area could he surpass his two half-brothers.

Gambling gives him a sense of accomplishment that he doesn't have in other fields.

That's why he loves gambling.

Conrad, however, scoffed at this.

"Gambling is gambling, young man, you don't need to make it sound so nice."

Gong Yixue said, "Does the old man want to make a bet with me? I guarantee that the old man will definitely lose."

His words were full of disdain.

It seems to be saying that if you don't gamble, you're not good enough.

Over the years, Conrad, who held a high position, had never seen such a look in his eyes.

With a wave of his hand, he said, "I'll gamble then! Do you think I'm scared?"

“The old man is still not afraid,” Gong Yixue said with a smile.

Soon, Conrad ordered his servants to bring the gambling paraphernalia.

Gong Yixue said, "Since the old man doesn't seem to want anyone who wants to study this, let's play dice and guess whether it's big or small."

Conrad said, "Either way is fine."

Blake stood excitedly beside Gong Yixue, wanting to pick her up from the airport and learn from her.

Completely ignoring Conrad's expression.

After all, such an opportunity is rare.

Gong Yixue picked up the dice and said, "Okay, let's have three rounds then, the one who wins the most wins."

After the third set, Conrad looked very unwell.

"That doesn't count, start over."
