Chapter 128: Gambling Money is Boring, Let’s Gamble with Our Lives!
Tang Chen’s words made the other gamblers nod one by one. Yeah, you said he was cheating, but the dice cup was in your hands, so how could he cheat? Even if there was cheating, you were the one most likely to be the cheater.
The dealer was speechless for a moment. He had spoken out of anger and had no answer to Tang Chen’s words. Damn it, how could he respond to that? Could he really say to these idiots that he had tried to cheat and failed, then lashed out in anger?
“This can’t be! If you weren’t cheating, how could you predict the outcome every time before I shook the dice? And three times in a row!” Although the excuse sounded weak, the dealer stubbornly argued back.
Tang Chen stood up in displeasure and sneered coldly, “Idiot, are you stupid or what? Young Master could predict the outcome because his sixth sense is sharp. If you can’t afford to pay Young Master, just say so. It’s only a few billion, isn’t it? Young Master doesn’t have all the money in the world, but he can afford that much. If you can’t pay up, Young Master can forgive you for being poor.”
The dealer felt like vomiting blood. He really wanted to vomit blood—how could there be such a shameless person? And he even claimed his sixth sense was sharp? Did he think he was in a movie? Could a sixth sense accurately predict the outcome three times in a row? Besides, what did he mean by saying our gambling hall was too poor to pay his money? Everyone knew that the Dragon Phoenix Gambling Hall was the largest underground casino. How could someone be so despicable?
In a private room, Fu Yanjie, who was watching the surveillance footage, chuckled softly and said to Wang Zhi beside him, “Brother Wang, you’re the gambling king, a veteran with plenty of experience. Can you tell if this guy is cheating?”
Wang Zhi narrowed his long, narrow eyes and replied, “Although I can’t see exactly how he’s tampering with the game, he’s definitely cheating. I don’t believe anyone could be that lucky in a casino.”
“Cheating, huh?” Fu Yanjie’s face turned cold. The audacity of someone cheating in his casino—this kid really didn’t want to live. He looked at Wang Zhi and said, “Brother Wang, it’s time for you to step in and take a look.”
Wang Zhi grunted in acknowledgment, then wordlessly walked out the door. After Wang Zhi left, Fu Yanjie relaxed and smiled again, lightly tapping the table beside him as he muttered, “Daring to cheat in front of the Gambling King Wang Zhi? Let’s see if you have the life to walk out of the Dragon Phoenix Gambling Hall’s doors.”
By now, Tang Chen was too lazy to waste any more words on the dealer. He said coldly, “If you can’t handle losing, why the hell are you even running a gambling hall? You might as well just shut down for good.”
“Kid, this is the Dragon Phoenix Gambling Hall. Watch your mouth! Be careful—you might win the money, but you might not live to enjoy it.” The dealer was furious as he spoke, the chill in his words sending a shiver down the spines of the surrounding gamblers.
Yeah, winning money seemed lucky, but didn’t you forget this was someone else’s casino? If you embarrassed them and ran off with so much money, weren’t you afraid they’d come after you?
What these people didn’t know was that Tang Chen had come today precisely to cause trouble—so why would he be afraid of trouble?
Upon hearing the dealer’s words, Tang Chen laughed loudly and said, “Are you threatening Young Master? Let Young Master tell you—in his lifetime, he’s never been afraid of threats, especially those from useless idiots who only know how to talk big. Since Young Master dared to come and win money, he’s not afraid of leaving with it!”
“Little brother, you’re too impatient.” A slow, deliberate voice came through as Wang Zhi approached. Zhang Kangzhan, accompanied by burly bodyguards, cleared the way, pushing the curious gamblers to both sides and creating an empty space around Tang Chen’s table.
“Brother Wang, Brother Zhang.” The dealer quickly greeted them. In front of these two, his status was much lower—he was just a small-time dealer.
Tang Chen didn’t show any sign of being intimidated. Instead, he looked at Wang Zhi, who had walked up to him, and said arrogantly, “Are you the boss of this gambling hall?”
“Screw you! How dare you talk to Brother Wang like that? I’ll kill you!” Zhang Kangzhan was enraged, rolling up his sleeves as his subordinates prepared to take action.
“Brother Zhang, it’s fine. I don’t mind how this brother speaks.” Wang Zhi remained much calmer. After sizing up Tang Chen, he said to him, “Brother, it seems you have pretty good luck. Do you mind playing a couple of rounds with me?”
Tang Chen curled his lip disdainfully and said, “What are you? If you want to play with Young Master, does that mean Young Master has to play with you? Do you think Young Master is just some ordinary gambler?”
Wang Zhi didn’t get angry at all. He walked directly up to the dealer, who automatically stepped aside. Wang Zhi picked up the dice cup, shook it a few times, and said, “I just heard you say your sixth sense is sharp. Coincidentally, my sixth sense is also quite accurate. Let’s gamble. If you win, you leave with the money. If you lose, you leave one of your hands behind.”
The surrounding gamblers felt as if cold sweat was soaking their backs. To demand someone’s hand so casually—it seemed the legendary Gambling King Wang Zhi was also angry.
Yu Tianyi’s face flushed with rage, and he was about to explode when Tang Chen said, “Sorry, Young Master doesn’t want to gamble. Besides, Young Master’s hands are attached to his arms. If he doesn’t want to leave them behind, no one can make him.”
When the dealer heard that Wang Zhi was going to step in and gamble with Tang Chen, he felt a surge of excitement. He knew Wang Zhi—he was the most skilled expert under the young master’s command. Not only that, but he was also a master at cheating. It was Wang Zhi who had taught all the dealers here how to rig the dice cup.
Seeing that Tang Chen dared to defy Wang Zhi, the dealer sneered and said, “What’s the matter? Just now you said we didn’t dare to refund your money, but now you don’t dare to gamble either?”
Tang Chen raised an eyebrow, then looked coldly at the dealer and said, “Do you think that just because your master is here, you can speak recklessly to Young Master? A dog will always be just a dog.”
Smack!
As soon as Tang Chen finished speaking, he moved swiftly, rushing up to the dealer and slapping him. Then he lifted the dealer upside down and slammed him onto the gambling table. With a loud thud, blood spilled out. The dealer’s body twitched once, then he collapsed to the floor and didn’t move again.
“He killed someone!” a gambler screamed. No one had expected this guy to dare to hit someone in such a situation. Was he truly fearless?
“You’re asking for death!” Zhang Kangzhan roared, pulling out his mobile phone from his pocket while the other bodyguards took out stun batons and other weapons.
“Let’s see who dares to move!” Yu Tianyi was extremely loyal to Tang Chen. Even though they were outnumbered, on one hand, Young Master Tang had said they were there to mess with the Dragon Phoenix Gambling Hall today, and on the other hand, he would never allow anyone to harm Young Master Tang. Thinking this, he drew two daggers from his chest.
With the dealer dead right in front of him, Wang Zhi didn’t even blink. Instead, he sighed and said, “Brother, this is our gambling hall. I really don’t want to escalate things. So, either obediently gamble with me, or you and your man will leave here horizontally instead of vertically today.”
Although Tang Chen appeared calm on the surface, he felt somewhat nervous inside. The other side had about twenty people. If he were alone, he might barely manage to fight his way out, but with Yu Tianyi along, it would be impossible. By now, Chen Laosan and the others should have arrived, but they were waiting for his signal to act. The key was—how could he call and give the signal at such a moment?
Tang Chen’s eyes shifted as he glanced at Zhang Kangzhan, then he got an idea. He said to Wang Zhi, “Since you want to gamble, Young Master can gamble with you. But gambling for money is boring—let’s gamble with our lives.”
“Let’s gamble with our lives.” In all the world, the only person who could say those words so calmly was probably Tang Chen!
Wang Zhi grunted and also smirked coldly, saying, “How do you want to gamble?”
After all, he was once a gambling king and had tried all kinds of games. Gambling with his life was nothing difficult for him.
Tang Chen pursed his lips, then said seriously, “Do you know Russian Roulette?”
Wang Zhi’s expression froze for a moment, a look of surprise crossing his face, but his eyes held more fervor. A trace of excitement appeared on his face as he said, “You want to gamble Russian Roulette with me? Excellent, excellent! It’s been a long time since I’ve gambled like this with anyone! Brother Zhang, bring your handgun!”
Zhang Kangzhan looked somewhat reluctant, but considering the other’s status with the young master, he obediently brought over his revolver.
Wang Zhi first removed five bullets, then spun the cylinder. With a snap, he placed the handgun back on the table and said to Tang Chen, “It’s been a long time since I’ve played roulette with anyone. Since you want to play, I’ll accompany you.”
Russian Roulette originally started as an authentic gambling game in Las Vegas casinos, but later, in the hands of a group of maniacs, it evolved into a method of gambling with lives. One revolver, one bullet—two people take turns shooting themselves in the head. Whoever gets shot loses, and of course, what they lose is their life.
