Chapter 41 The Gambling King [VIP]
Cheng You won another game, and he awkwardly scratched his head again, saying, "Ah... I'm still so lucky this game..."
Those who lost the game: ………………
We'll believe you if you get lucky once or twice, but if you've won so many times, why the hell are you still relying on luck? Are you trying to fool us?
Cheng You continued to smile, and the next second, three burly men walked up to his side, casting shadows that completely blocked Cheng You's view. He looked up, a puzzled expression on his face: "You...you are..." They've come. Cheng You smirked inwardly. They've come.
Of the three gambling tycoons, the first two look like muscular hunks, but the third is clearly of normal build and looks much more pleasing to the eye.
"Kid, you're pretty arrogant!" A gambling king patted Cheng You hard on the shoulder.
Cheng had a feeling this guy was about to shove his internal organs out. "Damn it, I'll remember this." Thinking this to himself, he kept a straight face and smiled, "Luck, luck~"
"Luck? Come on, play a game with me and see if you have the skills." The gambling king plopped down opposite Cheng You, and Cheng You felt the whole table shake.
"Of course, hahaha," Cheng replied with a laugh.
"Kid, you're pretty arrogant, aren't you? Our boss is informing you, and you've already agreed to go ahead with it?" another gambling king said angrily, raising his hand to slap the other man again.
Cheng's eyes, no longer childish, now held a sharp edge. He caught the large hand the other person was swinging at him, his voice barely audible, "Move again, and I'll kill you." His tone was full of warning.
The third gambling king withdrew his hand and silently moved closer to his elder brother.
The second gambling king was somewhat confused, because the third gambling king had completely blocked Cheng You's figure, and he hadn't seen Cheng You's eyes. He also moved closer to his eldest brother.
The third gambling king quickly explained what had just happened to his two older brothers: "It's unbelievable! He's incredibly strong! He easily caught my attack!"
"You're really useless. You can't even handle a fragile college student. What excuse are you making?" The second gambling king said with a look of disdain.
The third gambling king was anxious to defend himself, and the two were just one spark away from starting a fight. Fortunately, the first gambling king waved his hand, which calmed the two down.
"Don't underestimate our opponents," said the number one gambling king casually. Although he said that, his expression and tone were full of disdain, and he was not swayed by his underling's words at all.
"Shall we begin?" Cheng asked calmly, ignoring their jokes.
"Open it." The number one gambling king snorted coldly.
From afar, Morofushi Kagemitsu observed the tension and fear Cheng You outwardly displayed, but he could tell from the other's steady hands that he was completely at ease. He didn't stare at Cheng You for too long, knowing that Cheng You was also a cautious person and very sensitive to gazes. He couldn't let Cheng You discover him yet, otherwise, Cheng You would definitely pretend otherwise.
Morofushi Kagemitsu didn't necessarily want to expose Cheng You's true identity; he just needed to know whether Cheng You's purpose would affect his and Zero's undercover mission, and he didn't know if Cheng You would do anything to harm the public.
Not long after, another commotion arose. Cheng had won. The three gambling kings on the other side looked terrible, as if they were so ashamed that they wanted to kill each other.
Zhu Fujing frowned, always ready to secretly help Cheng You.
Cheng You looked at the three faces in front of him, which were painted in various colors, and smiled: "That's it? Didn't you say you had a gambling king here? Where is he? Let the gambling king come and pick me!"
The number one gambling king was also very capable. He suppressed his anger and shame and tried his best to maintain a calm and gentle demeanor: "It seems you are still very capable."
He was also quite puzzled. What was going on? He had just seen that the guy's technique wasn't anything special. Was it really just luck? Tsk, a few lucky wins had made this kid so arrogant. He really needed to be taught a lesson. He should teach the kid a good lesson and let him know that not just anyone can be king in a casino.
"Hahaha, just good luck, maybe I have some ability too," Cheng You laughed.
"How about another round?" the number one gambling king asked, squinting his eyes.
"Ah...this...maybe not. Who knows if we can win the next round..." Cheng You deliberately pretended to be in a difficult position to make the three opponents lower their guard.
When the gambling kings saw him like this, they were even more pleased, convinced that Cheng You's success was 80% luck and barely 20% skill.
"It's alright, we think your technique is pretty good, you just need to practice more," the gambling king said with a smile. When he smiled, his already unfriendly face looked even more lewd.
"Well... okay then." Cheng You agreed hesitantly.
Cheng You won this round again. He laughed and said, "A close call! Just as you said, the more you practice, the better your skills become!" He was particularly excited, looking as if he had finally solved some incredibly difficult advanced mathematics problem.
Gambling King: …………
They were filled with anger, hatred, and ruthlessness towards each other, and were about to raise their hands to teach the other a lesson when Cheng Youyou said, "No, no, let's play another round. I feel like I'm still more lucky this round."
The gambling tycoons calmed themselves down and slowly said, "This... are they making a fool of us!"
"Let's play a round, I'll let you win," Cheng You said with a wave of his hand, his eyes narrowed as he smiled, his tone light and casual.
"..." The gambling king felt that if he kept holding back, he would turn into a turtle. The number one gambling king slammed his fist on the table, his voice muffled: "What did you say, brat?"
The noise was so loud that it attracted the attention of everyone in the casino. They looked over, but when they saw that it was these three burly men, they awkwardly looked away.
This is clearly a threat.
But to Cheng You, it was just a light complaint. He smiled and said, "What? You can't beat them, so you throw a tantrum?"
The three gambling kings in front of them felt deeply humiliated. The number one gambling king gave the number three gambling king a wink, signaling him to find an opportunity to beat up that kid Cheng You.
But the number three gambling king had been intimidated by Cheng You's eyes not long ago. He was terrified and dared not make a move. This time he finally understood why one had to be calm and collected to survive in the underworld. Some people may look simple and ignorant, but they may actually be gang leaders who can take someone's life in a minute.
“Big brother, how about…” The third gambling king was about to refuse, but his big brother was a ruthless character and too confident in himself. Seeing the fear on his little brother’s face, the first gambling king smiled contemptuously.
He waved at Cheng You and said with a smile, "Little brother, you want to go find the gambling king? Sure, we'll take you there." The wrinkles on his face were twisted together, and a few lewd and vicious features appeared on his greasy face.
"He has ill intentions. Is he planning to meet with me alone and then get rid of me?" Cheng thought to himself, but this was exactly what he was planning.
“Okay~” Cheng raised an eyebrow, his tone flippant.
Upon hearing this, none of the others dared to step forward to stop him. They all knew what the gambling king meant, as many of them had experienced similar situations. However, at most, they had angered the gambling king by being unable to speak or act properly. But this young man dared to directly defeat the gambling king and even verbally humiliate him. It was not hard to imagine what kind of suffering this brother would face in the future.
Watching from afar, Morofushi Kagemitsu, having been an undercover agent in the Black Organization for so long, was well aware of certain rules of the Japanese mafia. He naturally knew how blatant Cheng You's actions had been, completely threatening the interests of the underground casino.
But since Cheng You was sent by the international side to eliminate the black-clad organization, he was naturally not ignorant. He must know the rules here, so his actions were just to provoke the gambling king, so that he could have the three gambling kings talk to him privately and settle things quietly.
None of the people present were worried about the gambling king. They wouldn't find out for a while, and Cheng had a perfect opportunity to leave at that time. As a technician, he must have a clear view of the surveillance video.
Everything was done in such an orderly manner.
A glint of light flickered deep in Zhu Fujingguang's eyes. He no longer had any doubts; he had completely identified Cheng You with the iced coffee in his mind.
Over there, Cheng You left with the three gambling kings. Several people were snickering and whispering, probably mocking Cheng You's ignorance. He was only there for the first day and he was already half-beaten to death. He might actually be beaten to death, after all, this was a gangster place.
"Why are they all snickering? Are they laughing at you? After all, you really look like clowns," Cheng said without changing his expression, deliberately raising his voice.
"!!" Upon hearing this, those who were laughing suddenly stopped, their faces filled with panic, their eyes darting away, not daring to look at the three gambling kings.
Cheng suddenly clutched his stomach, his face quite pale: "Ouch, I'm going to the bathroom first, then I'll go find the gambling king with you guys. I'm slipping away now, I'm sure you three gambling kings can handle these guys."
The number one gambling king was afraid that he would escape, and he also felt that the man in front of him was not intelligent enough to realize that they wanted to kill him, but he still went with him.
He left behind his hot-tempered second brother and his gentlemanly madman third brother.
The two men surveyed the scene, their tone filled with malice: "Just now... who was laughing?" That question was very damaging. Although those people weren't actually mocking the gambling king, the moment those words were uttered, the face-conscious gambling king naturally felt ashamed and angry.
"...It wasn't me—"
"We didn't...we didn't dare laugh at you...we just—"
"I didn't!! I didn't—"
Under the ruthless gaze of the gambling king, they couldn't help but tremble with fear. Finally, they couldn't help but try to explain, but before they could finish speaking, they were punched in the face by the gambling king.
"Pah! Do you think I have a bad memory? I remember everything." So the two gambling kings gave that group a good beating. "Get out! You have no right to play here today, get out!"
Those who had been beaten left, clutching their wounds and faces, limping away. Others were so badly beaten they couldn't get up, but fearing the gambling king, they could only roll away.
Just then, Cheng You and the number one gambling king walked out of the restroom. Cheng You noticed that the card room was somewhat empty and nodded in satisfaction. He held grudges; those who mocked him would be dealt with by others without him having to do it himself.
"Let's go find the gambling king," Cheng said arrogantly.
"Let's go." Gambling Kings Number Two and Number Three had just finished bandaging their bloodied hands after beating someone.
Watching the white-clad youth and the three gambling kings leave, Morofushi Kagemitsu pulled down his hood, slung his bass bag over his shoulder, and followed them. After seeing them enter a room, he took out a pistol hidden inside his clothes, loaded it, and slowly approached.
You could hear sounds of hand-to-hand combat coming from inside, along with fierce howls.
Morofushi Kagemitsu: ...Although I had guessed this would happen, I was still greatly shocked.
"You guys just said... you were going to teach someone a lesson?" Cheng You said leisurely, sitting on the back of the burly man lying on the ground with his legs crossed.
"I..." The number three gambling king, lying on the ground unable to fight, could not utter a word.
"Who are you?!" The second gambling king, whose hands and feet had been crippled, was filled with hatred.
"Me? Can't you guess who I am?" Cheng You curled his lip.
"!" The number one gambling king reacted first, "You are the Ice Coffee who accepted the bounty mission?!" They originally thought Ice Coffee was also a fierce and strong man, and they had strengthened security today. Unexpectedly, it was their own people who invited the enemy in.
"Yes, but I won't kill them all." Cheng You squatted on the ground, propping his chin on his elbow, and said with a smile, "I'll keep one alive; he'll be very useful."
After taking care of everything, Cheng You came out of the room, intending to stretch and relax before leaving.
Who knew—
As soon as the door opened, Cheng You saw the blue-clad man leaning against the wall. The man was carrying a bass bag, had stubble, and his blue cat-like eyes held a hint of sternness and inquiry.
“Ice, coffee?” he said.
Cheng You: "?!?!?!?!"
