"Boss, he..." The stall owner was about to explain the situation when his boss arrived, but the boss stopped him, saying, "No need to say anything, I already know everything."
“My friend has already made millions, it’s about time to stop,” the boss said meaningfully.
"Are you the owner here?" Tian Qi didn't get up but sat down and sized up the middle-aged man in front of him. He was wearing a black suit and had his hair slicked back. He had a certain air about him.
"That's right, I am the owner here, Shinichi Takahashi. I wonder what I can do for you, my friend?" Looking at the young man in front of him, who dared to continue sitting and talking even though he had come in person, he felt displeased.
He was like a god in this town; everyone trembled with fear when they saw him.
"I wouldn't presume to offer advice, but I'd like to ask Mr. Gao, you run a casino to make money, and I'm here to make money too. Why don't you stop us when we lose money, but you won't let us play when we win? What's the difference between your behavior and robbery?" Tianqi directly questioned Shinichi Takahashi.
"Since I dare to open this casino, I'm not afraid of you winning. But with your way of playing, I'll probably go bankrupt in a few days. How about we call it quits for today?" Seeing Tianqi say that he was like a robber, he felt annoyed again.
Although it is true, with so many people watching, he absolutely cannot admit to it, otherwise who would dare to come in the future?
"Okay, let me give you two solutions, what do you think?" Tianqi knew he probably wouldn't be able to make any money next, but he still wanted to try one last time.
"Oh, tell me your solution, I'd like to hear it." Hearing that the other person said there were two solutions, he immediately became interested and wanted to see what they were.
"You definitely won't agree to me continuing to gamble here today, but I haven't won enough money yet, and you're just letting me leave like this. I'm sure I'll be resentful."
“The first solution is that you give me five million, and I’ll get up and leave immediately. You can get rid of me, and I’ll feel better after getting my money. What do you think?” Tianqi stood up and said.
"Forget about that, let's get straight to the second one." He rejected the first offer without even thinking. They wanted to take five million? You're happy, but I'm heartbroken. And if I have to compromise in front of so many people, how am I supposed to survive here in the future?
"I guess you definitely won't agree either, so let's talk about the second solution. The second option is that you and I make a bet. If I lose, I'll return all the money I won today and never set foot here again."
"If you lose, you'll have to pay me another ten million in cash. What do you think of that?" Tianqi crossed his arms and looked at him arrogantly.
After listening to Tianqi's words, Shinichi Takahashi fell into deep thought. Although the second plan was better than the first, it was only slightly better, and it was still different from his original expectations.
Moreover, if he loses, he will have to pay ten million, which is by no means a small amount. Ten million is a third of his assets, but if he doesn't get rid of this person, he will still have to pay.
“Okay, let’s go with the second solution,” Takahashi agreed through gritted teeth, but he also increased his bargaining power.
“The second option is good, but it’s unfair. If you lose, you just have to return the money you won and never come here again. You won’t lose anything. If you want to gamble with me, you have to increase your stakes.” Shinichi Takahashi stared intently at the man in front of him.
"Oh? Increase the stakes? What stakes do you want me to increase?" Seeing that the other party agreed, Tianqi knew that the matter was probably settled.
"If you lose, you'll have to come up with an extra five million. If you can agree to that, we can gamble. But it seems you don't have that much money with you." Shinichi Takahashi made an outrageous demand, asking Tianqi to come up with five million before he would gamble.
"It's just five million. I have that little bit of money. If I lose, I'll get the money for you. I still have that kind of credibility," Tian Qi said slowly.
"Hmph, why should I believe you on our first meeting? If you lose and have no money, then this bet is meaningless. Or are you planning to get something for nothing?" Shinichi Takahashi looked at Tian Qi with disdain.
“I do only have a little over two million on me right now, not that much money. But my family is from Konoha. If I don’t pay you, you can take it to the Konoha Enforcement Team. You should be relieved now,” Tian Qi said, waving his hand.
Although he said that on the surface, he was thinking something else entirely: If you dare to beat me, I'll raze this place to the ground. You want money? Do you even have the life to take it?
Meanwhile, Shinichi Takahashi, upon hearing that the other party was from Konoha, was secretly relieved. In the Land of Fire, Konoha was known for its integrity, and even if the other party reneged on their debt, he could still send out his Flying Stream to kill them.
The Flying Stream Wanderer was a Jonin in strength. He had to provide this person with good food and drink every day to keep him here. However, it was precisely because of this person that he did not have so many concerns and was able to continue to grow stronger.
“Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll trust you this once. Let’s go to the private room.” After saying that, Shinichi Takahashi turned around and walked towards his private room, and Tianqi followed him.
After they left, the stall owner breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone started discussing it.
"Wow, this guy's got guts! Daring to challenge the boss, awesome!"
"Didn't you hear they say they're from Konoha? To dare carry over two million yen, their background must be extraordinary."
"Even if he's not simple, he's still just an ordinary person. I heard the boss has ninjas under his command. How can an ordinary person compare to ninjas?"
"Holy crap! Seriously? This boss is that powerful? He even has ninjas working for him!"
...
"Hmph, you dare to embarrass me like this? You're dead this time!" The dealer said viciously to Tian Qi in the opposite direction as he left. He knew his boss's strength; the ninja under his boss was no ordinary ninja. That guy was stronger than many ninjas from major ninja villages.
Meanwhile, Tianqi entered the private room and sat down, observing the room. "I thought the outside was already nicely decorated, but this room is even more beautiful than the outside. Looks like your business is quite large."
"Heh, I've always been very particular about life. Isn't the purpose of making money to make my life better?" Hearing Tianqi's words, Shinichi Takahashi felt a little better.
“You don’t seem like the kind of person who’s short of five million. Just give me five million and I’ll leave. That would save us all this trouble. Why do you have to go through all this trouble?” Tianqi asked Gaoqiao with a curious look.
“Although I don’t lack the five million, it would take me three years to earn it back. Why would you work for three years for nothing?” Shinichi Takahashi retorted directly to Tianqi.
