“Hehe, it’s impossible to work for free, let alone for three years. But sometimes you have to admit defeat. Takahashi, don’t you agree?” Tianqi said, squinting at Takahashi while holding his hand.
"Hahaha, how many years have I, Takahashi, been humble to get to where I am now? If you want me to back down, show me your strength. Without strength, you're useless." After laughing, Takahashi said to Tianqi with a serious face.
"You're right, I like to let my strength speak for itself. Enough with the nonsense, let's get started." As soon as he finished speaking, Tianqi took out his two million and put it on the table. Gaoqiao also had his subordinates take out two million, so there were now four million on the table.
"How do we play?" Takahashi asked, taking out his money and looking directly at Tianqi.
"You wanted to see my strength, so let's just compare sizes. That would be much faster." Tianqi didn't want to waste any more time; he was exhausted today.
"Perfect timing, I don't want to waste time here either, let's deal the cards," Takahashi directly instructed the dealer to start dealing the cards.
"No need to deal, let's just grab them. I have two million, I'll bet two million with you this time," Tianqi said, standing up and walking to the dealer, taking the cards in his hand. "How about it, Takahashi, are you brave enough to come?"
"This..." The dealer looked at Takahashi with a blank expression. Takahashi waved him away. "Do you want to bet such a high stake?" Two million at a time is indeed a high stake. He was a little shocked when he heard Tianqi say that.
"Enough talk. If you're scared, just give me ten million. Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate. The bold get rich, the timid starve. If you're not afraid, come on!" With that, Tian Qi activated his Sharingan and memorized the positions of the various cards while shuffling them. After shuffling, he lined up the cards in a row. "Come on, Takahashi, do you want to draw first, or should I?"
"Come on, I'll draw first." Seeing Tianqi's expression, Gaoqiao gritted his teeth, stood up and walked to Tianqi's side. Looking at the row of playing cards, he hesitated for a moment and then grabbed the card on the far right.
When he flipped over the Ace of Hearts, Takahashi grinned. "Hahaha, I'm having a lucky day. Looks like you're out of luck, you're going to lose..."
"Stop! How do you know I'll lose before I even draw my cards?" With that, Tianqi reached for the Ace of Spades from his memory of the shuffled deck.
"This is it." Without hesitation, he flipped the card over, revealing the Ace of Spades in front of Tianqi. "Sorry, Mr. Gao, your two million is mine." With that, Tianqi took the two million from Gaoqiao.
"Hmph, I just got lucky in the first hand. It's only two million, I can afford to lose." Looking at Tianqi's Ace of Spades, which was only slightly higher than his own, Takahashi sighed that they were truly destined to be enemies. Then he had someone bring out another two million.
"I'll shuffle the cards this time, I don't believe you can win." After saying that, he took the cards and started shuffling. It has to be said that Takahashi is indeed a casino owner, his various fancy shuffling techniques are much better than Tianqi's.
"Come on, you can draw first." After shuffling the cards, Takahashi gestured for Tianqi to draw. This time, he remembered the positions of the four Aces, and he didn't believe Tianqi could still win.
Unbeknownst to Takahashi, Tenki had also memorized the positions of the four Aces. "Hehe, here I come, don't regret it!" With that, Tenki grabbed the Ace of Spades again and flipped it over.
Takahashi was completely dumbfounded when he saw Tianqi catch the Ace of Spades again. Was he pretending to be stupid or was he really that good? How did he know the Ace of Spades was here?
"Sorry, Mr. Gao, you lost again. The two million is mine again." After saying that, Tianqi prepared to take Gaoqiao's two million.
Just as Tianqi was about to take the money, the bewildered Gaoqiao stopped him, saying, "Wait, I suspect you cheated, this round doesn't count."
Seeing that Takahashi had changed his mind, Tianqi was a little puzzled. Why did he suddenly change his mind? Then he saw a person appear at the door. He looked like a ninja, and a not weak one at that. He understood.
"So that's why you suddenly changed. Turns out someone's backing you up. I was just thinking you were pretty good and even considered recruiting you to work for me. But alas, Takahashi, you've really disappointed me." He genuinely thought Takahashi was a good person, but it turns out he's just a hypocrite.
"Hmph! You think you can make me work for you? Who do you think you are? Fei Liu, eliminate him!" Seeing his backer ninja arrive, Takahashi immediately shouted that he wanted Tian Qi dead.
"Don't order me around." He was instantly annoyed that Takahashi, an ordinary person, dared to order him around.
"Fei Liu, I've spent so much money supporting you, and this is how you talk to me? Hurry up and I'll eliminate him and get my money back." He felt a little uncomfortable seeing his backer ninja speaking to him like this, but there was nothing he could do. This ninja was indeed very strong and useful.
"Hmph, if you weren't rich, do you think you could command me?" Takahashi Hiryu looked at him with disdain.
Then he looked at Tianqi and said, "Hand over the money obediently, and I might leave you with a whole corpse. You'd better not be ungrateful, or don't blame me for making sure you die without a complete corpse."
"Hahaha, are people this arrogant nowadays? I remember the last person who said that to me, the grass on his grave is already three meters high." Tian Qi was so angry that he laughed when he saw how arrogant the ninja in front of him was.
"So you're not going to obediently hand over the money?" Fei Liu mobilized all his chakra, ready to strike at any moment.
"Hehe, arrogance comes at a price." Seeing that the other party was about to make a move, Tian Qi immediately activated the Kaleidoscope and unleashed his strongest physical attack eye technique.
"Amaterasu!" As a tear of blood flowed from Tianqi's eyes, a black plume of fire appeared directly on Feiliu's head.
"Aaaaaah! What the hell is this?" Seeing flames appear above his head, Fei Liu frantically patted them with his hands, trying to extinguish the flames, but unfortunately, the Amaterasu flames wouldn't go out until they burned everything.
His hands, which were patting the flames, were also covered in fire. "Ah! Help! Help me! I was wrong, please forgive me!" Fei Liu, who could no longer bear the burning, begged Tian Qi for mercy.
“I told you long ago, arrogance comes at a price. It’s too late to beg for mercy now.” Blood tears streamed from Tianqi’s other eye as well. “Kagoto-no-Mikoto!”
In an instant, flames engulfed Fei Liu's entire body, and within a few dozen seconds, Fei Liu was burned to ashes amidst cries of pain.
Seeing his strongest backer ninja killed so easily, Shinichi Takahashi was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground.
"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life! I was blind and didn't recognize you. I didn't know you were Konoha ninjas. I'm willing to hand over all my property to Konoha. Please spare my life!" Takahashi knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Tianqi, saying that he was willing to hand over all his property.
