Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Spending Half a Billion for a Friend

Chu Feng had a thrilling win, and Huang Lan was overjoyed, but Poker was already sweating on his face.

Having lost over twenty million in just two rounds, if this rate of loss continued, not to mention his own principal, even the entire gambling ship might end up being lost.

Poker couldn’t understand how Chu Feng was so incredibly skilled; even a Superpower User might not be capable of this.

The game was still going on, but Poker’s heart was growing colder and colder.

In just one hour, Poker had lost twenty times what he had in the previous hour. He had lost two hundred million in one go.

If they included what was lost on dice before, the two of them had already lost nearly 2.4 billion.

Although this gambling ship was the largest in Southeast Asia, the nightly turnover on board was only about a dozen billion. After deducting various gray costs and the maintenance overall, the profit of the gambling ship was merely around thirty to fifty million.

After all, it’s impossible for a gambling ship to only win without losses; if so, who would come back in the future? In other words, in just a short while, the two had already lost the profits of a whole week for the gambling ship.

"The two billion is already there, but since you don’t wish to stop, let’s continue," said Chu Feng.

It wasn’t that Poker didn’t want to stop; he had wanted to quite some time ago but couldn’t without the boss’s command.

Chu Feng said, "I’ll go all-in on the last round."

The final result was naturally Chu Feng’s win, which instantly turned the more than two billion into five billion, far exceeding the tenfold that Chu Feng had previously promised Huang Lan.

"Mr. Chu, Miss Huang, my name is He Sheng, and I would like to invite the two of you upstairs for a talk, if I may." Just as Chu Feng was preparing to continue betting, He Sheng finally showed himself.

Chu Feng looked at the old man with a pale face and a kindly expression, who seemed to be around sixty years old, and admired the steadiness of the elder’s state of mind.

His appearance was absolutely spot-on; he didn’t show up at the beginning. If he had, Chu Feng would have definitely refused him, nor did he appear when Chu Feng had achieved his goal, which would make him seem petty.

He chose to appear after Chu Feng had won big. It was a clear indication to Chu Feng. The surplus was his welcome gift, and if Chu Feng and Huang Lan now refused, it would be a snub, and if he then ordered action, no one would say a word.

"I think we’ve won enough; let’s go upstairs," Huang Lan was also very adept at saving Chu Feng face, taking the initiative to suggest she had won enough.

Chu Feng smiled and said, "Since Sister Lan says it’s enough, let’s go upstairs."

Chu Feng and Huang Lan followed He Sheng upstairs to his opulent office.

Once in the office, Chu Feng fully sized up He Sheng’s four leading experts.

These four individuals were definitely top-notch experts, among them the two who had not faced off with Chu Feng in Nine Points and Mahjong were the highest in Cultivation, both had already reached the Profound Level.

"Please take a seat," He Sheng said with a smile, ushering Chu Feng and Huang Lan to sit down.

Chu Feng and Huang Lan took their seats, and He Sheng also sat down in his own position.

He Sheng wore a smile and said amicably, "Miss Huang, although Dragon Soul and I can’t be called partners, the word ’friends’ still counts, right? Today, you’ve come to my gambling boat and caused quite a scene. Isn’t that a bit unreasonable?"

Before Huang Lan could speak, Chu Feng said, "Having a ’friend’ like you is truly a bit sad for me. Is this how you treat your friends, by sending them to their deaths?"

"Mr. Chu, although I don’t know what your relationship with Dragon Soul is, don’t you think you’ve been too excessive today?" He Sheng’s tone had clearly become colder as he spoke.

"Chu Feng is one of Dragon Soul’s own," Huang Lan interjected swiftly.

She was warning He Sheng not to act rashly.

However, He Sheng was clearly unmoved and didn’t take Chu Feng’s words seriously at all.

Chu Feng stared at He Sheng and said, "She has already answered for me regarding my relationship with Dragon Soul. As for the matter of me being excessive, I’ll answer that for you. If I wanted to, I could have been much more excessive than I just was."

He Sheng’s killing aura was no longer hidden as he said, "Mr. Chu, I don’t know by what means you won my money, but your actions today have indeed crossed the line. I can completely keep you on the boat."

Chu Feng replied with a cold laugh, "If you had evidence that I was cheating, you wouldn’t be here threatening me. Intimidation is more suited for adults scaring children; we’re not children anymore. There’s no need for such tactics. Besides, your casino is here to do business, and as long as you can’t prove I cheated, I can go down and continue gambling. Do you think it’s better for you to lose this month’s profits or this year’s?"

He Sheng’s killing aura was unmasked, and his four top experts also encircled Chu Feng and Huang Lan.

Huang Lan nervously gripped Chu Feng’s hand. Indeed, the pressure from the four top experts was immense.

He Sheng said, "Do you realize how dangerous it was, the way you just spoke to me? We’re in the Public Sea; even if I killed you two and fed you to the sharks, no one would ever know."

Chu Feng was completely unconcerned by the threat of the four top experts behind him and said, "If that were possible, you would have already made your move. You dare not attack because you’re afraid. First, you don’t know the extent of my abilities. You’re not sure whether I could kill you before your men lay a hand on me."

Chu Feng paused and then stated, "As for that answer, I can tell you unequivocally that I could take your life before they even move. Second, if you attacked, it would mean you’ve made a complete enemy of Dragon Soul. With your intelligence, you should be able to guess the reason Dragon Soul sent Huang Lan this time is not just because someone doesn’t want to see Huang Lan alive, but also because some people have their eyes on you."

He Sheng squinted his eyes and looked at Chu Feng, "How can you be so sure that I’ve seen through all of this?"

Chu Feng said, "Because you are a smart person. If you were a fool, you would not have allowed Sister Lan to gamble with dice. If Sister Lan really wanted to play, her money would be gone in less than three days. You gave Sister Lan three days, and you gave yourself three days too. You needed to consider everything and calculate all possible outcomes."

He Sheng said with interest, "Then what do you think my calculated outcome is?"

Chu Feng confidently said, "What outcome you’ve calculated isn’t important anymore. Because I’m already here, and any outcome you could have calculated can’t match the one my arrival will create."

He Sheng laughed heartily, "Truly, heroes emerge in youth. I, He Sheng, have roamed the Jinghu World for so many years. The only young hero I’ve ever admired is you alone, Mr. Chu. Five billion in exchange for a young hero; this deal I’ve made is worth it."

Upon hearing He Sheng laugh heartily, Huang Lan also breathed a sigh of relief.
