Chapter 898: 655 A single stone stirs up a thousand ripples (4k, thanks for the tip!)

"Ah, Mr. Cai, it seems like luck isn’t on your side today, why not call it quits?"

Inside one of the many casinos in Haojiang.

A man with a northern Mainland Chinese accent, wearing an unremarkable jacket and of an age where his hairline had receded to a Mediterranean-like pattern, with the center of his head bald, stood out among the gamblers who tried their luck at the casino. Despite having lost over three million, he appeared unperturbed.

"It’s fine, Director Wang, this is how card games go. There’s always a turnaround."

The man beside the Mediterranean-looking male laughed as if it was no big deal.

If "Director Wang" exuded an air of officialdom with his movements, the speaker had a business air about him. Also middle-aged, he remained stoic and composed even as his companion lost millions, treating money as if it were dirt.

"Should we...try again?"

Director Wang asked tentatively.

Mr. Cai nodded.

Director Wang looked at him.

Understanding the signal, Mr. Cai suddenly smiled, gestured to a casino ’Stacking code’ nearby, and imperiously commanded, "Go get another ten million in chips."

Director Wang smiled with satisfaction, then refocused his attention back on to the card table.

People always have their hobbies, and his seems to be gambling.

Contrary to what one would expect, the Stacking code tasked with getting the chips remained unmoved.

After some time, seeing that the Stacking code was still foolishly standing there, Mr. Cai’s face showed surprise, "Didn’t you hear what I said?"

"Will you be paying in cash or by card?"

The Stacking code politely asked.

Exchanging money for chips in a casino is the norm, so the Stacking code’s query was reasonable. However, Mr. Cai was caught off guard and froze.

Furrowing his brow and instinctively asserting his authority, he asked in a stern voice, "Are you new here? Don’t you know who I am?"

"You’re Mr. Cai."

The Stacking code promptly replied, clearly aware of his identity, but still stayed put.

Mr. Cai’s face darkened completely, unable to lose face in front of Director Wang. While the other party still had some chips left, he coldly ordered the Stacking code, "Call the manager over."

This time, the Stacking code was very obedient and immediately notified the manager.

"Mr. Cai, what’s the matter?"

The manager, with the Stacking code, approached wearing a friendly smile, clearly recognizing Mr. Cai as a regular customer.

"Ji Shen, have you started hiring just anyone now? Will you take anyone that comes along?"

Mr. Cai was nearly showing his displeasure on his face and completely disregarded the presence of the Stacking code.

Indeed.

After all, how many Yu Guangrongs are there in Haojiang?

Even Yu Guangrong was bossed around when he first started as a Stacking code.

"What seems to be the problem, Mr. Cai?"

Manager Ji Shen looked at the Stacking code, then asked.

"Ask him yourself."

Mr. Cai was stern.

"Mr. Cai wants to exchange for ten million in chips, and I asked Mr. Cai how he would like to pay."

The Stacking code quickly explained, in detail.

Manager Ji Shen showed a look of understanding, and instead of scolding the Stacking code for ignorance, he whispered to Mr. Cai, "Mr. Cai, could I have a word in private?"

Mr. Cai, with a grim face, quietly moved aside without a word.

Manager Ji Shen followed, still smiling amicably, "Mr. Cai, you’ve accrued a bill of thirty-six million here, is it time to settle up?"

By rule, credit is not allowed in casinos.

But rules are for the adherence of fools and the guidance of wise men.

Special customers, naturally, receive special treatment.

"There’s truth in the saying ’the borrower is lord’; rather than feeling embarrassed when the other party came asking for payment, Mr. Cai only grew more irritated.

"Ji Shen, what do you mean by this? Do you think I can’t pay up?"

"Mr. Cai, please don’t misunderstand, I’m not implying that at all."

Manager Ji Shen remained calm and explained gently, "Who Mr. Cai is, he wouldn’t care about this small amount of money. But our casino is about to perform its quarterly book balancing, so we’ve been collecting payments recently. It’s not personal against Mr. Cai, and I hope you can understand."

Mr. Cai frowned and looked at the outwardly calm and inwardly firm casino manager.

He was certainly not a fool; he could already sense something amiss from the other’s behavior and attitude.

Account balancing?

Complete nonsense!

In the world of gambling, he knew the ins and outs all too well.

He was a regular at the casino, not much of a player himself, mostly there for "entertaining" purposes. But as the brother-in-law of the fourth wife and indeed the ’gambling king’s brother-in-law’, in all of Haojiang, encountering someone demanding payment in such a manner was a first.

Of course.

Cai Kang was a man with status, and despite his inner frustration, he wouldn’t disgrace himself by reneging on his debts.

"I’ll have my finance department transfer the money in a couple of days."

Manager Ji Shen immediately nodded, smiling gratefully, "Thank you for understanding, Mr. Cai."

Cai Kang no longer engaged and headed back to the gaming table, hesitating before whispering an apology to the engrossed Director Wang, "Director Wang, my apologies, my sister just called and asked me to come home."

Though Director Wang was reluctant to leave, he was not unreasonable and nodded his approval, "It’s alright, take care of your business first. We can always play another time."

"Then you take a rest, Director Wang, I’ll be right back."

After leaving the casino and making sure Director Wang was comfortable, Cai Kang, who owned several medical companies in the Mainland, immediately took a car to the fourth mistress’s villa.

"Sister."

Upon seeing her younger brother arrive, the fourth mistress exhibited little enthusiasm, not even bothering to greet him. She walked down the stairs and without a word, sat down on the sofa.

It wasn’t surprising that she showed little sibling affection.

The saying ’no one visits a temple without a cause’ fits her brother perfectly.
