70: Chapter 69 A Hundred Million Bet!
“Alright, brother, this way please.” Liu Zhuang chuckled, leisurely making his way upstairs.
Liu Fei’er glanced at the departing Liu Zhuang, then lowered her head to Ye Tian and said, “Are you dumb?
His actions are obviously well-prepared.”
Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders and said calmly, “If I acted directly, I’d cause you a lot of trouble, and also, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy tonight to the fullest.
So since he wants to play, I’ll just play along.
I dared to agree because I’m prepared, just be assured.”
Liu Fei’er felt sowhat touched.
She now deeply understood Ye Tian’s prowess; if it really ca to a fight, a hundred Liu Zhuangs would be no match for Ye Tian.
He was acting this way for my sake.
Ye Tian patted Liu Fei’er’s hand and leisurely walked up to the second floor.
There, the large hall was filled with many gambling tables, featuring various gas—dice, poker, and many more.
Around each gambling table was a gathering of people, all chatting and laughing vivaciously, not at all like the desperate gamblers one might see in other casinos.
Those who could co here were sowhat wealthy individuals.
Spending a few hundred thousand or even a million was nothing; they gambled rely for entertainnt.
In the center of the hall was a grand gambling table, with two chairs opposite each other.
Liu Zhuang was already seated elegantly, savoring a glass of red wine.
Beside him stood a croupier, dressed in professional attire.
A lot of onlookers gathered around, clearly curious about who was occupying the best spot and starting a gambling ga.
Ye Tian smiled, walking over with Liu Fei’er at a leisurely pace.
“Bring a chair for Fei’er,” said Liu Zhuang casually, with an air of nobility and superiority.
Ye Tian slowly took a seat, and Liu Fei’er sat down beside him.
“What shall we play?” Ye Tian asked Liu Zhuang calmly.
Although he found Liu Zhuang’s self-important airs quite disagreeable, he remained silent.
“You choose, I know a bit of everything.” Liu Zhuang sipped his wine lightly, his deanor suprely smug.
Even Ye Tian had to admit his ability to show off.
Many onlookers nodded their heads at Liu Zhuang’s bearing; anyone could see he was a person of high status by his elegance.
So won were even looking at him with starry eyes.
A big head and a thick neck: he might not be a wealthy man, but definitely a contractor.
Liu Zhuang’s head might not be big, nor his neck thick, but he certainly was a wealthy man!
Ye Tian glanced at the croupier, thought for a mont, then looked at Liu Zhuang with a questioning look, “One I’d know how to play?”
“Hmm.” Liu Zhuang nodded, continuing to savor his drink with a carefree look, especially as the admiring gazes from many won seed to lift him off his feet.
“Let’s play a ga of high card, low card.”
Pfft!
Liu Zhuang nearly choked on Ye Tian’s words; his eyes bulging as he looked at him.
He had guessed many possibilities, thinking that Ye Tian, being a country bumpkin perhaps, would know so of the simplest gas, but he never expected a childish ga like high card, low card!
Nevertheless, Liu Zhuang felt contempt for Ye Tian and his sense of superiority grew even stronger.
Just a worthless person, huh!
The surrounding crowd was also astonished by Ye Tian’s choice.
Seriously, in such a luxurious and imposing setting, with so many onlookers, you pick a ga of high card, low card?
“What’s the matter?
You don’t know how to play?
I rember even kindergarten kids know this ga.
Should we change to sothing else?” Ye Tian asked, apparently unconcerned about the expressions of those around him, though almost making Liu Zhuang explode with irritation.
This guy was clearly looking for trouble!
Right then, Liu Fei’er couldn’t help but laugh, whispering to Ye Tian, “Co on, the great Master Liu Zhuang wouldn’t know how to play such a simple ga?”
“Then his act clearly shows he doesn’t know how.” Ye Tian shrugged with complicity, “I also know how to play hopscotch; shall we play that instead?”
The people around looked at Ye Tian with disdainful eyes.
Despite his good looks and the presence of a beautiful woman with him, what he said really did sound like a country bumpkin.
As for Liu Zhuang, he was nearly fuming with anger.
He understood now; Ye Tian was playing him!
“Since you suggested high card, low card, let’s play that,” said Liu Zhuang indifferently, looking at Ye Tian.
“However, since we are playing, naturally there should be a stake, right?
I have prepared ten million; how much did you bring?
If it’s not enough, I can lend you so.
We’re just here to have fun, after all.”
“Shh!
Truly wealthy!
Just casually throwing around ten million!” The onlookers gasped.
They were mostly wealthy, but casually putting up ten million for a bet was sothing not many could afford to do.
Ye Tian, clearly sensing the contempt in Liu Zhuang’s voice, smiled faintly, silencing Liu Fei’er before she could speak, “Ten million?
Look, Master Liu Zhuang, is that all you have?”
The crowd looked at Ye Tian in amazent, disbelieving.
After all, what Ye Tian had said earlier was incredibly unsophisticated.
Liu Zhuang was nearly scared to death by Ye Tian’s words.
Was this implying that his money amounted to more than that?
Liu Zhuang was skeptical, but then, rembering the croupier was on his side, he scoffed and said, “Then how much do you propose we bet?”
“Let’s play ten rounds, one million a round, dare you?” Ye Tian offered with a devilish smile, the corner of his mouth bearing a subtle hint of mockery.
This made Liu Zhuang truly fearful.
If he wasn’t certain that the dealer was in his pocket, he would have flipped the table and refused to play, given Ye Tian’s confident appearance.
