Chapter 1154: 390. Transylvania’s first offline casino is about to open!_3

She snorted and said,

"Morphy’s style doesn’t suit you, after all, you’re not a vampire, no matter how much you disguise, you don’t have that naturally evil flavor... better smile, Mr. Huo.

Your smile is very affable, which makes your deception highly successful.

As for the purpose of my visit today, it’s very simple.

Profit sharing!"

She smiled, then tossed a pouch full of Gold Coins onto the table, which made a satisfyingly heavy sound indicative of money.

However, Old Huo didn’t even glance at the share of profits that could make an ordinary player rich overnight. He showed his usual gentle and modest smile and said,

"So, the sales for scratch cards are going well?"

"Good? No, no, no, I wouldn’t use ’good’ to describe that magical, Little Cutie. I’d use more vivid words like ’explosive,’ ’sought-after,’ ’crazy.’"

Doris’s voice was full of unconcealed delight as she said loudly,

"Just the earnings from the first issue, after deducting the payout for the first, second, and third prizes and consolation rewards, and after deducting the cost of machines and labor I paid to my subordinates, this session of scratch cards has netted us..."

"No, don’t tell me! I don’t care about these."

Old Huo raised his hand to stop Doris’s report.

It wasn’t a pretense; he genuinely didn’t care.

The sharpness forged from his time in the business world shone in his eyes as he said gravely,

"As I said before, this little venture was just a ’small gift’ to earn the trust of the Blood Rat Gang and the Shadow Intelligence Bureau.

If you’re satisfied with this, can we start discussing the real ’big business’ now?"

"This isn’t big enough?"

Doris retorted somewhat dissatisfied,

"The profits from this session are already comparable to what I used to make in a month in the black market! My subordinates are hailing me as wise and heroic, and I can see admiration and loyalty in their eyes.

I think that’s enough to satisfy Lady Adel, yet you’re saying this is just a petty business that can’t make it to the big stage.

To be honest, Mr. Huo, I’m starting to regret it. This deal with you has already struck fear in me, not just because of your attitude towards money.

But also because it seems like I’m seeing your ambition.

Is it too late for me to back out now?"

"If you want to see the admiration and loyalty in your subordinates’ eyes disappear, I can accept your withdrawal at any time, and I’ll find another partner."

Old Huo shrugged his shoulders and said,

"Lord Maxim is currently forming the new Transylvanian People’s Army, and as everyone knows, training an army is very expensive, I’m sure he wouldn’t want to miss this ’patriotic enterprise.’

Or perhaps Miss Phemis has been raising funds for the construction of the Midnight Tower.

She’s a wise Psychic, surely she can see the benefits of cooperating with me. Not to mention building a Mage Tower, even ten or a hundred could be constructed.

You see, Miss Doris.

Although Lady Adel’s status as Sir Morphy’s Blood Descendant won’t change due to her poor performance, I believe Lady Adel surely wishes to prove her capabilities to Lord Morphy and contribute to Sir Morphy’s enterprise.

At least she wouldn’t want to perform worse than Morphy’s other Descendants.

And as one of Lady Adel’s Descendants, you should also consider your senior’s face and dignity when making decisions...

I’ve studied the culture of vampires, you don’t think I chose you as my partner on a whim, do you?"

Old Huo gave a sly smile that made Doris grit her teeth. Then he picked up the approved plan from the table and handed it over. Doris glanced at it and said with difficulty,

"Although this thing isn’t forbidden, it..."

"Power must be used wisely, Miss Doris. Transylvania is in need of revival, and to quickly restore prosperity to this land, sometimes we have to take unconventional paths."

Old Huo shook his head and said,

"Besides, we’ve added enough restrictions to minimize its local impact. My suggestion is, take our plan to Lady Adel.

It’s just building a casino for Beilao and Xilan People to spend their money, nothing that goes against the moral grain. After all, whose money we earn doesn’t matter, right?

Draining their blood to aid our development, isn’t that a beautiful thing?"

"A casino, that’s all?"

Doris squinted her eyes and said,

"I’m starting to wonder what exactly you did back in your Plane, Mr. Huo. Can you really speak of such things so casually?

Any rational ruler would know the terrible consequences of letting such things spread unchecked in their domain!

You are challenging the order that Transylvania has so hardly established."

"I’m not, I haven’t, and I’m not mad enough to damage my own interests because I’m part of the one who forged this order. If I dared to do anything to undermine it, you wouldn’t have to lift a finger; my peers would find ways to severely punish me first."

Old Huo shrugged his shoulders and explained,

"It’s just a kind of ’development experience,’ nothing more. It has already been tested by another history.

I believe Sir Morphy would understand me; he’s an excellent ruler who knows how to make good use of any tool that can help him.

And once we have support from the Shadow Intelligence Bureau and the Blood Rat Gang, we can start construction right away. I’ve already contacted the Stonemason Brothers’ Association, and they will send some novices to build the main structure of the casino here.

In just one week!

In a week at most, the casino will be ready to open.

The timing is perfect, right when the first batch of Beilao merchants finish dumping their goods in Transylvania and having plundered the wealth of this land.

Neither earlier nor later would work.

Whether we can establish a reputation depends on this gamble, hence I hope you would take the initiative to help both of us push this plan forward!"

Old Huo paused.

He looked at the hesitant Miss Doris, and threw the last ace, saying,

"Of course, all related links in the security and logistical support chain of the casino business will be undertaken by your subordinates. I can’t guarantee that they will all become rich, but I can assure you that they will be grateful for this new job and see you as the eternal and only leader of the Blood Rat Gang.

In this way, not only your status and power in Transylvania can be secured.

It may even go one step further, perhaps... Lady Doris?"
