Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Tian Heng nearly jumped up from his chair.
Although the four warriors behind Shen Lang pretended to not hear anything, they were stunned by what he said.
“Shen Lang, are you insane? What on Earth are you saying?” roared Tian Heng.
Besides him, the four warriors also felt that Shen Lang was daydreaming and humiliating himself.
Tian Heng couldn’t break Tian Thirteen’s legs. He was also not planning to pay up the 19,000 gold coins.
It was already perfect if he could agree to one of the conditions. However, Shen Lang wanted both!
Was he stupid or sothing?
“Hahaha...” Tian Heng laughed out of anger, “So I am striking a deal with a lunatic?”
Shen Lang swayed his body slightly and crossed his leg.
Tian Heng said as he stared at Shen Lang, “I told you that Tian Thirteen wanted to kill your entire family, and I sent him. However, I won’t hurt him at all. You want to break his legs and make lose my reputation? Dream on! Moreover, I will not give you any gold coins.”
Since they had fallen out, they already had nothing to lose.
Tian Heng continued, “If you are capable, ask the Earl to get the money from ! I wonder if he will break your legs?”
Shen Lang was brazen, but the Earl still wanted to maintain his reputation.
To ask him to ask for the 19,000 gold coins on behalf of Shen Lang? That was impossible. It made more sense for him to break Shen Lang’s legs.
For hundreds of years, the rules of the Palace of the Earl had been stringent; none of their family mbers dared to go to a casino.
If the Earl asked for money on behalf of Shen Lang, the news would spread like wildfire and people would say that the Palace of the Earl of Xuanwu was in financial crisis and needed their live-in son-in-law to gamble to win money for them.
Therefore, Tian Heng decided to play cheat.
“You want to stir things up with the few hundred gamblers outside?” laughed Tian Heng, “Dream on, I will pay them the 9000 gold coins they won. However, I will not pay you any money that you have won. What can you do to ?”
When he said that, Tian Heng opened the window and shouted to the few hundred gamblers who were waiting downstairs, “Since I opened a casino, I will be able to pay up. I will pay every single cent that all of you have won. Co, pay the custors accordingly!”
When he said that, the few hundred gamblers went crazy with excitent.
Then, the accountants of the casino started to exchange money for the gamblers.
After 30 minutes, all the 9,000 gold coins were exchanged.
“All hail Gang Leader Tian!”
“You are amazing, Gang Leader Tian!”
“You are the best, Gang Leader Tian!”
“I love you, Gang Leader Tian!”
It was that person again. He really craved for love.
As he heard these, Tian Heng sneered, “Shen Lang, did you see how these people curried favor? I have already paid them their share of the money. Do you think they will still stand by your side and help you?”
Of course not.
Once these gamblers received their gold coins, so left, and so continued to gamble. Everyone went their own ways, and nobody would care about Shen Lang.
“The money these gamblers have won does not even belong to them. They are rely safekeeping it for ,” said Tian Heng, “do you believe it? In less than half a month, the 9000 gold coins would return to . I might even get more.”
Of course, Shen Lang believed that. The ti they needed was perhaps even lesser than two weeks. Seven to eight days was sufficient.
The money of gamblers would never stay with them for long.
The outco of a gambler would be to lose everything. They would never realize their mistakes.
Winning was rely the process, and the outco was a loss. The only difference between gamblers would be the amount of money they lost.
“They don’t want to stir up a drama with you, and the Earl would definitely not ask for money on your behalf,” sneered Tian Heng, “so what if you won 19,000 gold coins? I will not give you any of them, so what can you do to ?”
“And you still wanted to break Tian Thirteen’s legs, dream on!”
“Clap, clap, clap, clap...” Shen Lang applauded with strength. “Good job, Gang Leader Tian, I appreciate your shalessness, but...”
Shen Lang took a sip of tea.
“It’s useless,” said Shen Lang, “you think you can escape this by cheating?”
“Gang Leader Tian, there’s no point in struggling any further. I can win all the gas in the casino. Do you think I care about the 19,000 gold coins?”
“Hahaha...” Shen Lang laughed with a sharp voice like a revel. “Co on, as long as your casino is open, your money is mine. I can win as much money as I want to. Not only will I win, but I will also bring the gamblers along.”
“Unless you close your casino or you go bankrupt, I will think of it as a good deed, I don’t need any coins, but I will make the gamblers win your entire fortune.”
“Unless you would block from entering the casino! Do you dare to send people to block from entering? Would you dare to hurt ?”
Then, Shen Lang shouted to the gamblers downstairs, “Don’t leave yet, I will help all of you win more money. Let’s make Gang Leader Tian bankrupt!”
“Gang leader Tian, I will take my leave first...” Shen Lang turned and left.
...
Then, Shen Lang returned to the casino and continued to win money.
Like swarm locusts, he led several hundred gamblers in the win.
It had been proven that Shen Lang was not lying! He could rule over the casino and win every single round!
Therefore, everyone in the casino lost miserably.
Nobody could stop him!
The few hundred gamblers went insane. That was easier than picking up money from the floor.
As long as they followed Shen Lang’s bets, they would definitely win.
Therefore, everyone working in the casino could no longer stand the imnse pressure. They began to spit out white foams and fainted.
The staff mbers kept reporting the current situation to Tian Heng.
“Master, we have lost 3000 gold coins.”
“Master, we have lost 5000 gold coins.”
“Master, we have lost 7000 gold coins. Shen Lang only won one gold coin every round. The rest is won by the other gamblers.”
Tian Heng’s face was pale, and he began to tremble.
Tian Fourteen rushed over and roared, “Foster Father, I will chase Shen Lang out now.”
After saying that, Tian Fourteen rushed downstairs and was about to chase Shen Lang out and go into a fight.
Shen Lang covered his forehead and said, “What are you doing? Are you trying to hit ? I am not fit, and I will fall imdiately once you touch . Whoever dares to hit the young master of the Palace of the Earl will see their whole family dead soon thereafter.”
Tian Heng heard this conversation clearly from upstairs.
He could not imagine how Shen Lang managed to say such shaless things.
He was seriously not ashad at all!
In anger, Tian Fourteen pointed at Shen Lang’s head and roared, “So what if I hit you? Co, chase Shen Lang out now!”
In the next instant...
The four warriors surrounded Shen Lang and drew their swords.
Hehe, the gangsters from the Black Clothes Gang wanted to fight with the warriors from the Palace of the Earl? Why were they even trying to hurt the young master of the Palace of the Earl?
Indeed, under the new governance, the Palace of the Earl would not be able to interfere in regional affairs or catch people from the Black Clothes Gang.
However, if they offended Earl, they would die.
Before a minute could pass, the four warriors would begin to fight.
Even if the team of warriors from the Black Clothes Gang attacked and defeated the four warriors from the Palace of the Earl after ganging each warrior with twelve opposing soldiers on their side...
Then... The Black Clothes Gang would be in greater trouble.
After that, the cavalry of the Palace of the Earl would attack and take down the entire casino.
The Palace of the Earl of Xuanwu did not stir troubles, but they were definitely not afraid.
If nobody offended them, they would not hurt others.
If anyone offended them, they would make sure that those people would die.
That was Shen Lang’s amulet.
Those who ca forward to defend were not only the warriors of the Palace of the Earl but also countless gamblers who sward and protected Shen Lang in the center.
“What are you doing?”
“Is the owner of the casino afraid to lose?”
“Trying to hurt young master Shen? Over my dead body, cough, cough, cough...”
These groups of people would sway their loyalty according to their gains. Earlier on, they hailed Tian Heng for exchanging coins for them.
Now, when Shen Lang led them to win more money, they hailed Shen Lang.
So what now?
Would they chase an entire group of gamblers out?
Tian Heng was still sitting on his chair. He had never hated soone so much before in his life. He really wanted to tear Shen Lang into a million pieces.
He regretted it so much!
If he could go back in ti, he swore to kill Shen Lang imdiately, chop him up into pieces, and feed him to a dog. He would definitely not listen to Shen Lang at all.
Indulging one’s enemy was to ask for trouble.
Unfortunately, there was no such thing as regret on Earth! 4
What should he do with the current situation then?
Tian Heng closed his eyes and said, “Close the casino temporarily.”
“Roger!” Tian Fourteen and the cashier replied in agony.
After that, the cashier’s voice could be heard from downstairs.
“Today, the casino will temporarily close. Please return tomorrow to exchange for the money you have won.”
After that, Shen Lang said, “Gang Leader Tian has four more casinos in Xuanwu City, let’s go and win in every single one of them, alright?”
“Yes!” the few hundred gamblers replied excitedly.
Then, Shen Lang brought the few hundred gamblers and headed towards the next casino like a swarm of locusts. 1
Tian Heng closed his eyes in agony.
After a long while, he replied with a hoarse voice, “Temporarily close all the casinos.”
“Roger!” Tian Fourteen replied while gritting his teeth.
Everyone knew it was a painful decision to make.
The five casinos made up more than 60 percent of his daily inco.
Now that he had to close all of them, how much loss would he suffer?
Only the heavens knew!
However, he would rather endure such a significant loss than complying with Shen Lang.
If he broke Tian Thirteen’s legs, his reputation would disappear. The spirit of the Black Clothes Gang would also leave.
In the future, who else would be afraid of him?
“Shen Lang, you want to sever my arms? Dream on!”
However, the trouble for Tian Heng rely just began.
That was because he was not the only one who owned the casinos. Many people were earning from the casinos too.
In rely half an hour, soone had looked for him.
“Sir Zhang Pu wants to make a trip over since he wanted you to do sothing!”
Tian Heng had a terrible headache. The thing he was most worried about had happened.
Indeed, the ones who would put the final nail on your coffin are those close to you.
