Chapter 278: Tears in Both Eyes (5 updates)
Ye Ling followed the blonde beauty to a tightly closed door, the blonde beauty nodded at two strong men outside.
Creak, the strong men pushed open the door, which slowly swung open.
Ye Ling followed the blonde beauty through the door, and upon entering, he was completely shocked by the scene before him.
This was an exclusive area, dazzlingly lit, resplendent with gold, its luxury a hundred times greater than outside, and the waitstaff were all hot-bodied, pretty bunny girls.
Inside this area, there were only seven or eight tables, each with gamblers of varying expressions, intensely focused on their gambling.
"Damn! What the hell is this place, a brothel or a casino?" Ye Ling was shocked. Are foreigners really this liberal?
The blonde beauty didn't seem the least bit uncomfortable, as if she was used to all this, and she smiled slightly, "In this place, everyone is a god. There's nothing you can think of that we can't do."
"What about you? What if I want you?" Ye Ling grinned cheekily at the beauty beside him.
The blonde beauty wasn't angry either, but nodded, "Sure, but the price for me is quite high. First, try to become number one among these world-class gamblers, then we'll talk."
After hearing this, Ye Ling was overjoyed, "That's what you said, so wait for it, you're destined to be mine, hehe."
Having said that, Ye Ling suddenly spotted a familiar face, yellow-skinned, and he felt amused—his target was finally found. In the entire hall, this was the only person, so it seemed he must be Jiang Bin.
Walking over to the table, Ye Ling smiled at everyone, "May I sit down?"
"Yo, another yellow monkey. Sorry, Jiang, I don't mean you—you're different, your gambling skills are great," one skeletal white man mocked with a sneer.
Ye Ling immediately knew that the guy had to be his target as soon as he heard the name Jiang.
The Huaxia man at the table was indeed Jiang Bin, whose gaze was fixed on Ye Ling, and a sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart.
"Did they send you from back home to find me?" Jiang Bin put down his cards, leaned back slightly, and asked with a sneer.
Ye Ling was startled, then spoke disdainfully, "Who are you, which green onion? Don't talk to me in Huaxia, I won't buy into that. Haven't you heard that there are no fathers and sons at the gambling table?"
"Don't try to get chummy with me. Even if you were my son, I'd still take everything from you today, even your underpants!" Ye Ling laughed heartily.
Hearing this, Jiang Bin felt somewhat assured but remained on guard. Ever since he had betrayed his country, it meant his life could be in danger at any time.
"Yo, all in, I like it." Ye Ling immediately pulled up a chair and sat down.
Then, with great arrogance, he placed his one billion chips on the table, looking proudly at the few people there, "What are you looking at, never seen so much money? A bunch of bumpkins."
"Ha ha! Ridiculous, Jiang, is this guy from your hometown? Embarrassed to show off one billion chips, yet so arrogant. You're killing me with laughter!"
"Tsks, young man, the minimum requirement to get into this place is one billion chips, you're the lowest of the low."
Hearing this, Ye Ling clenched his teeth in anger. Damn it, daring to look down on him like that, just wait to have all your money taken!
"Deal the cards!" Ye Ling said fiercely, and the Croupier looked again at the others at the table after hearing the command.
"Deal the cards, hurry up and take this bumpkin for everything, make him run a lap around the Queen's Casino naked, ha ha!"
"Old Clin, you old goat, that's so disrespectful!"
Facing everyone's mockery, Ye Ling was not in a hurry at all. A bunch of old coots, you'll know just how awesome I am in a moment.
The croupier dealt the cards. The hole card in Ye Ling's hand was an Ace, and so was the card face up, two Aces, already dominating the table with a grin.
"Heh heh, not bad, not bad, my luck's still pretty good. Let's start easy, I'll bet two grand for fun," Ye Ling said, legs crossed.
The faces at the gambling table all darkened, and the croupier quickly said, "Sir, the minimum bet is one hundred thousand."
Hiss, Ye Ling feigned a sharp intake of cold air: "Damn, that's steep. If one were to lose every round, it would only take so long to blow through a hundred million, and that's before placing a bet."
"What are you looking at! I'm going in with ten million! If you've got the guts, follow me!" Ye Ling gritted his teeth and directly threw out ten shiny chips.
Everyone looked at their cards, then all chose to follow, and the croupier continued to deal.
Ye Ling got another Ace and immediately burst into laughter, jumping onto his chair, squatting on it, with an air of smugness.
"Haha! It seems my luck isn't too shabby, tell you what, I'll make a small bet, thirty million!"
Saying this, Ye Ling threw out the chips, a thirty-million bet was far from small.
The few people at the table angrily threw in their cards, choosing not to follow, cursing under their breath. How could this damn bastard be so lucky?
"And you, are you following or not? For the sake of us being from the same hometown, I'm telling you, you'd be better off surrendering. Otherwise, your loss will be huge."
Ye Ling was all arrogance. Jiang Bin looked at his hole cards, three old Kings, leisurely tapped the chips, then threw out thirty million.
Continue your adventure at empire
"I'll follow. I don't believe you have three Aces right now," Jiang Bin said, and the croupier continued to deal.
Another Ace, yet another Ace for Ye Ling, who burst out laughing, while Jiang Bin was also dealt a King. Now both had four of a kind Aces and Kings but neither knew the other's hole card.
"Tsk tsk, my fellow countryman, when countrymen meet, the tears should flow, and I think you're really going to cry this time."
With those words, Ye Ling threw all his chips in: "All-in!"
There were now over two hundred million chips on the table. Jiang Bin clenched his teeth, analyzing Ye Ling, wondering if this guy was really so arrogant or just pretending.
"I don't believe your luck can be that good, I'm in!" Saying so, Jiang Bin threw all his chips in as well.
The clattering sound of the golden chips dazzled many eyes and many waiters swallowed hard, too thrilling for words.
The croupier continued to deal. The last card for both was no longer important; the real contest was whether they had four Aces or Kings.
Ye Ling looked at the money on the table, shook his head, and sighed: "You really won't cry until you see the coffin. Let's make it clear for you. My luck has always been this good."
With a sweep, Ye Ling revealed his card, and Jiang Bin's pupils dilated dramatically. It was really four Aces!
"Haha! My fellow countryman! You start crying now, I'm taking it!"
Ye Ling dramatically hugged all the chips on the table into his arms, pulling them all to his side in an arrogant manner that made onlookers seethe with anger.
"Deal!" Jiang Bin lit a cigar, spoke viciously.
