Zhuang Li leaned lazily against the back of the chair, his long legs crossed, his trouser legs slightly slid up, revealing his slender ankles in white socks, and his black and clean shoe uppers gleaming under the crystal chandelier.
His hands were crossed and hung naturally on his knees, with a huge gem ring on each of his thumb, middle finger and ring finger.
He dressed very luxuriously, but this extravagance was far less attractive than the arrogance, nobility and cynicism that emanated from him.
He raised the corners of his crimson lips and smiled nonchalantly, and the boxes of chips piled beside him became the best embellishment.
Several staff members were helping him count the chips. The dealer, receiving instructions from his superiors, had to bend down and put on a stiff smile. "Guest, congratulations on becoming the biggest winner tonight."
At the same time, colorful lights lit up in the casino, cheerful music played, and a laser banner read "Congratulations to Zhuang Li for winning the largest bet in the history of blackjack."
All the gamblers turned their heads to look for the lucky player, their eyes flashing with enthusiasm, becoming even more addicted to this decadent game of getting rich overnight.
"The big winner is here!" A gambler pointed at Zhuang Li and shouted, and everyone gathered around.
Fang Yu looked at the dark, ever-increasing crowd and felt a surge of fear. He worried that these greedy people would crush him to pieces or tear him to pieces. The fire in their eyes was like lava from hell.
These are a group of people who are obsessed with gambling, they are so crazy!
Sun Xiaojia also realized that he seemed to have operated improperly, causing a greater crisis.
She cursed and quickly ordered the security team to go down and rescue people.
However, the security guard couldn't squeeze through at all! There were too many people!
The heat and stench generated by the gathering of people is spreading rapidly, which is a dangerous signal!
However, Zhuang Li, who was at the center of the storm, was not panicked at all. He always had an amused smile on his face.
When the dealer tried to pull him and protect him behind him, he waved his hands, slowly stood up, stepped onto the soft sofa and stepped onto the gambling table, picked up a whole box of chips on the table, and threw it into the air.
Red, green and blue chips fell on the crowd like raindrops, making an extremely pleasant and crisp sound when they collided in the air.
The gamblers who had gathered around Zhuang Li jumped up quickly, snatching up the chips from the air, then squatted down and frantically picked up the chips on the ground. They screamed, laughed, and shouted.
Zhuang Li stood at the gambling table, clapping his hands and laughing. His face, which was originally full of arrogance, was now transformed into a gorgeous look by excitement.
He was like a demon, taking pleasure in toying with people's hearts. Seeing the grotesque and ugly behaviors of mortals due to greed, he was as happy as a child.
Money, which everyone pursues so crazily, is just a toy for him to have fun.
He was obviously pleased by the active participation of the crowd, and he raised another box of chips and threw them into the sky without hesitation.
Ding-ling-dang, this is the sound of money falling to the ground, and it is also the most beautiful sound in the world.
The guests in the casino were having a great time, picking up chips and laughing, while some were dancing, singing and jumping.
"Oh my God! He's crazy! I love him so much!" A female gambler who lost the last penny in her pocket picked up a few large chips and shouted excitedly.
This was the most generous gift she had ever received!
"I have booked the banquet hall upstairs. All drinks and food will be provided free of charge to all guests tonight. For those who are looking for happiness, please have fun." Zhuang Li threw out his last handful of chips and laughed out loud.
His handsome face radiated a dazzling glow under the crystal chandelier.
Everyone was looking at him, their eyes filled with fanatical admiration. They were cheering for him, screaming, jumping for joy, and even worshipping him.
Tonight, he was the only focus in this small, frantic world.
Fang Yu stood under the card table, looking up at Zhuang Li with disbelief.
He had always known Zhuang Li possessed a handsome face that was considered top-tier even in the entertainment industry. This face had propelled him to success, and he had become an instant star, with even greater success on the horizon.
He has been popular for decades and has always been at the top, never falling from the altar.
Before today, Fang Yu had been completely baffled by this. In his opinion, Zhuang Li's only good looks were impressive, and he had absolutely no talent. So, how could he remain so popular?
If I copied his path, I would definitely be more popular and more successful than him!
But now, looking at Zhuang Li's unrestrained smile, his unrestrained charm, and the way he controlled everyone's emotions and ignited everyone's soul like a devil, Fang Yu understood that there was a reason why this man was so popular.
He is so charming!
He makes people want to chase, worship, and even surrender to him madly!
Every inch of Fang Yu's skin was covered with goose bumps because of Zhuang Li's words.
"System, what's the situation in the live broadcast room?" he asked in a trembling voice.
"Host, public opinion has completely reversed. See for yourself." The Golden Finger System imported the situation on the Internet into Fang Yu's mind.
By the time Zhuang Li lost his temper, his audience had completely lost hope in him. Comments of him quitting following him, backstabbing him, and turning against him filled the public chat room. In just a few hours, Zhuang Li's account had lost hundreds of thousands of followers.
But now, watching the crazy scene of him standing on a high place and throwing money, these audiences realized that his previous embarrassment was just a performance. The gambling that could make others bankrupt overnight was nothing more than a game that he could completely manipulate in his hands.
What he pursues is the thrill of winning, the joy of toying with people's hearts, and even the feeling of being superior to all others.
Money has no value to him.
He is crazy, arrogant, and extremely intelligent.
Strip away the idol's perfect facade and you'll find the real him to be a demon. But demons are precisely what make them so captivating. They're evil, yet possess qualities that drive people mad with love.
Humans are born with a strong desire to be strong. They are easily fascinated by powerful and beautiful creatures.
At this moment, Zhuang Li, who is standing on the card table and throwing money, is undoubtedly such a person.
The livestream was a constant stream of enthusiastic praise. This was an external broadcast, visible to the entire world, and as a result, not only did Zhuang Li's previously lost fans run back crying and apologizing to their idol, but netizens worldwide were searching for this madly adorable Eastern man.
God, I really wish I could be there right now!
He's so charming! He's so charming! I can't take it anymore!
Praises from different countries and languages flooded into the live broadcast room like a tide.
Zhuang Li’s fans were dazzled and their pride was about to explode. They immediately began to educate people about their idol.
Fang Yu looked at the overwhelming amount of praise in the comments section, and his heart ached with jealousy. This was not the result he wanted at all!
"System, cut off the live broadcast signal!" he ordered.
"Host, I've tried, but the signal cannot be cut off. When I was broadcasting live before, I was afraid that the humans in this world would interrupt my live broadcast, so I set the anti-interference mode. I suspect that this mode has also blocked my signal. I have no way to control the live broadcast room now. Wait a minute, I'm debugging." The system's tone sounded a little exasperated.
Fang Yu gritted his teeth and urged: "Hurry up!"
He realized that he had lost more than he gained! He didn't even get a penny of the so-called commission. Not only did he not destroy Zhuang Li's popularity, but it actually reached a new level!
Even more frustrating was that the brothel was located in Chinese territory, where gambling was legal. As a Chinese citizen, Zhuang Li's actions were also legal.
He did not receive any punishment.
Fang Yu was so angry that his heart ached, but the corners of his mouth still rose naturally, revealing an expression of elation. He raised his hands and clapped vigorously, turning his palms red.
People who didn’t know him would think he was just happy for his friends.
In a corner of the casino, Sun Xiaojia, accompanied by an unusually tall and strong man, watched the scene silently.
Behind them stood bodyguards in black suits, but none of them were needed now.
The devil standing on the card table didn't need anyone's protection at all. He easily gained everyone's fanatical love and sincere worship.
The tall and strong man stared at him without blinking, with an unfathomable light in his emerald green eyes.
Sun Xiaojia asked in a low voice: "Godfather, are we still going over there?"
The man didn't respond.
Sun Xiaojia calmed down and asked again, "Godfather, he has booked the banquet hall upstairs. Should we still help him host this celebration banquet?"
The man's profile seemed frozen.
Sun Xiaojia repeatedly called out, "Godfather, godfather, godfather?"
Seeing that the man still didn't respond, she bravely touched his arm.
The man blinked, and the nearly frozen light in his pupils began to slowly flow. With great difficulty, he retracted his gaze, lowering it to look at Sun Xiaojia. He said in a deep voice, "He said he wanted to book the whole place, and you let him pay for it himself. Do you know what you're doing now?"
Sun Xiaojia blushed and didn't dare to answer. She could tell that her godfather was extremely dissatisfied with her.
It’s all Fang Yu’s fault for giving her random advice!
The man sneered, "You're like those old ladies with bound feet from the old days. They'd be so distressed if they put a little extra kerosene in the lamp at night that they couldn't sleep all night. Do you know what this place is?"
Sun Xiaojia's face turned from red to purple because she heard the bodyguards' mocking laughter.
"This is a den of incest." She lowered her head and answered weakly.
"Yes, this is a den of money. It can make people rich overnight, or destitute overnight. This is an ocean made of money. Some people are lost in the whirlpool of money, like them."
The man pointed at a group of gamblers who were laughing wildly while holding their chips.
"Some people are sailing on the huge waves of money on a sailboat." The man pointed to several casino executives who were standing outside the crowd, watching the feast indifferently.
"Some people manipulate money, squander money, play with money, and even treat money as dirt." The man pointed at Zhuang Li who was standing at the card table and looking down at everyone.
"And what do you look like? Do you know?" The man looked at Sun Xiaojia with dark eyes.
Sun Xiaojia's lips moved slightly, but she didn't dare to answer. She had a premonition that her godfather would say something even more unpleasant.
The man pointed at the gambler lying on the ground, feeling around in every nook and cranny, trying to find any chips that hadn't been picked up, and said, "You're like them, a slave to money! For a few bucks, you'd crawl on the ground like a dog. You can't see high up, only the corners and crevices. Others are making money, but you're just picking at it, picking it up, and snatching it."
Sun Xiaojia's head felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, drooping lower and lower.
The bodyguards laughed even louder.
Even several senior executives looked at her with disdain.
"You even want to pick up the money from between your teeth. I find it hard to believe that you have the ability and courage to manage a casino." The man gave his final judgment.
Sun Xiaojia immediately broke out in a cold sweat and regretted her decision. She quickly brought up her father who had passed away long ago and pleaded with the man.
Her father died to save the man, and the man had to repay this favor.
In the end, the man gave Sun Xiaojia a chance.
When he left, he turned around and looked at Zhuang Li deeply.
