Outrageously Luxurious!
601: Chapter 601: Touching Intelligence!
Outrageously Luxurious!
Humans possess seven deadly sins.
Greed is one of them.
Could Kun Qianxi, who was addicted to gambling like it was his life, pass up the chance to win hundreds of millions in a bet?
Though he was not as skilled in card games, betting on football was a different story.
The cost of relying on luck was huge!
Tang Xiao believed that Kun Qianxi was very likely to accept the challenge.
Of course.
The reason Wu Jie didn’t argue was very simple.
First, lure Kun Qianxi here and then talk about it.
As for whether to gamble with him or not, that could be decided later!
What if they both favored the same team by then?
There would be no need to bet, right?
Moreover…
killing him for revenge was more urgent than betting with him on football!
Fang Guozhi didn’t tarry and immediately stood up.
“Alright then, I’ll go invite him now.
The two of you follow He Yue to the betting hall!”
Fang Guozhi stepped forward, ready to leave.
Just before he left, he suddenly turned back and reminded them:
“Right!
We must keep everything that happens on the cruise a secret among ourselves, and no one should mention it to Qingya!”
Tang Xiao said with a laugh, “Don’t worry, Fang!
Once Kun Qianxi is dead, we’ll leave the cruise!”
Fang Guozhi nodded solemnly.
Not long after he left, He Yue walked in.
“The betting hall will be extremely lively tonight.
I will take you there now!”
He Yue was extremely respectful and made a welcoming gesture.
Wu Jie and Tang Xiao exchanged a smile.
Plans never keep up with changes!
Initially, they planned to test the poison with their own bodies, but now…
With the acquaintance Fang Guozhi, things were even more convenient.
Tang Xiao believed.
As long as they could meet Kun Qianxi…
With Wu Jie’s incredibly skillful abilities, was there any worry they couldn’t kill him?
The grudge hidden for many years, the desire for revenge held back for so long, was finally about to be fulfilled.
Tang Xiao couldn’t help but get excited, although she forcibly restrained herself.
But Wu Jie could see that her eyebrows were smiling, her eyes becoming more spirited.
However…
They hadn’t walked far from the private room when they encountered another ‘acquaintance’.
Damn it!
A super large cruise ship with a displacement of several hundred thousand tons.
It could accommodate thousands of people, with thousands of rooms of different functions and lots of entertainment and consumer venues.
Of course, Meng Sihua was alright.
Though he was overweight with a big belly, at least he still looked like a man.
But Nangong Yao, that damn queen, simply gave Wu Jie the creeps by looking at him.
Slender and delicate, with soft skin and a handsome face.
If dressed up a bit and switched to women’s clothes, he could probably bewitch many homebodies who didn’t know the truth.
Seeing Wu Jie and Tang Xiao, this fellow had a very odd look in his eyes.
Just like Meng Sihua, they didn’t expect Wu Jie and his wife to come to a revelry place like Joy World.
Surprised, Meng Sihua gestured for the housekeeper He Yue to step aside.
Walking up to Wu Jie, Meng Sihua asked in a low voice:
“Could I trouble you for two minutes to step aside and talk?”
Wu Jie said with a smile, “Sure!
I was just about to ask you two why you keep lingering like bad karma!”
The four of them left their housekeepers behind and returned to the temporarily empty private room.
The door closed.
Nangong Yao crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the door, with a sour face.
“Did you two spread the word that we have AIDS?”
Wu Jie rolled his eyes.
“Talk about what?
To whom?
My wife and I are just here on the cruise to enjoy our holiday and incidentally bet on football!”
“And what about you guys?
You got sick, and you still want to continue enjoying life?
Aren’t you afraid of infecting others?”
“Afraid?” Meng Sihua said through clenched teeth: “We’re doing it on purpose to infect them!”
“Oh, really?” Tang Xiao snorted with a laugh, “And what does that have to do with us?”
Nangong Yao said loudly, “Of course it’s related!
If you two spill the beans, Meng and I will definitely be expelled from the cruise, and we won’t be able to take our revenge!”
“So?” Wu Jie retorted, “You want us to keep a secret, how much are you planning to pay us for that?”
Meng Sihua and Nangong Yao exchanged glances, both stunned.
And Tang Xiao…
…was instantly dumbfounded.
My goodness!
How formidable my husband is!
He never forgets to take advantage of others!
Watching the two in a stupor, Wu Jie said with a smile:
“Are you new to this game?
Even if you threaten or tempt us, you can’t beat us in a fight, so coercion is out of the question.
That only leaves temptation!”
“And temptation, of course, means money!
You want us to keep silent, right?
Two million Gold Coins a day, and we guarantee we won’t talk!”
When Wu Jie spoke up, he was aiming to retrieve his initial investment!
Boarding the Brune Cruise, didn’t he and his wife spend two million Gold Coins a day?
His ridiculous wife!
Apparently, she wouldn’t suffer any loss!
So…
would these two blockheads agree?
Meng Sihua furrowed his brow in deep thought, while Nangong Yao bit his red lip lightly.
Wu Jie sighed deeply, and advised earnestly:
“Don’t hesitate anymore!
Just transfer the money!
We’re only staying for three days!”
“What’s the most painful thing in the world?
Isn’t it dying without spending all your money?”
…
Tang Xiao smiled without a word, silently watching Wu Jie’s performance.
Meng Sihua hesitated, pulling Nangong Yao to one side, and the two murmured for a while.
Wu Jie leaned close to Tang Xiao’s ear and whispered:
“Want to make a bet?”
“Bet on what?
Is there even a need to bet?
It’s clearly a sure win!”
Tang Xiao pouted and smiled.
As expected!
The two blockheads came back.
Wu Jie and Tang Xiao exchanged a look and smiled as if they saw two wealth-bringing kids.
When thoughts veer into the extreme, intelligence is bound to decline.
Meng Sihua and Nangong Yao didn’t even think about it.
If they could bribe their way aboard with money despite being sick, then others could too.
How could other billionaires and wealthy ladies not come up with the same idea?
Certainly, someone must have done it already.
After all, to each their own, as some like radishes and some prefer cabbages.
Those billionaires and wealthy ladies coming aboard the cruise aren’t necessarily here for debauchery.
Just as Fang Guozhi mentioned before, some billionaires come on vacation just to find Kun Qianxi for a game of cards.
They know he’s not good at it, so they come to win money!
So, those bound to be infected don’t need anyone to transmit the disease to them – not using protection and playing wildly, they are doomed sooner or later.
Yet, how could those who keep themselves clean possibly get infected?
But their low IQs had already become a major flaw, so they were incapable of understanding this!
And yet they were willing to spend money to ensure Wu Jie and his companion kept their secret.
Isn’t that just blatantly giving away money?
In face of such a windfall, how could Wu Jie and his friend have the heart to refuse?
Suddenly.
Meng Sihua got in touch with the VIP customer service center.
He had them charge the daily minimum spend of one million Gold Coins to his and Nangong Yao’s accounts for Wu Jie and Tang Xiao respectively.
As for other expenses, they wouldn’t be responsible.
Once everything was set and promises of secrecy made,
Wu Jie and Tang Xiao, barely containing their laughter, left the private room and hurried to the betting hall with He Yue.
Meng Sihua and his companion stayed behind closed doors.
What they were up to, no one bothered to guess or imagine.
The betting hall was located in the sports complex, right next to the soccer field.
It looked like a big open-air food stall that was a mix of a bar, luxury buffet restaurant, and more.
And it was just that.
The billionaires could place bets and enjoy the game while having their fill of food and drink, and even kick a few balls around on the field.
The projection screen was massive, no smaller than a movie theater’s IMAX screen.
With its huge display!
Surround sound!
Being there felt almost like watching the game live on the scene.
And if one actually went to the opening ceremony, they couldn’t bet openly on the games.
Where else could one find such freedom and leisure?
At this moment.
The big screen was broadcasting the grandiose World Cup opening ceremony, with singing and dancing, very lively.
Inside the hall, many guests had gathered, including quite a few billionaires and wealthy ladies with companions on both arms.
Some were savoring fine food and flirting with beauties.
Others were studying their bets, preparing to take a gamble.
With complete on-site facilities, one could place bets on the official lotteries of many countries, as well as participate in some international underground private betting.
The cruise organizers also ran their own betting pool, but the stakes were frighteningly high.
Buying a lottery ticket starts from two coins, but here…
A single bet couldn’t be less than one million Gold Coins!
Wu Jie brought over a variety of delicacies, discussing soccer with Tang Xiao while they ate.
In front of them sat a smart tablet on the table.
There were still forty-some minutes before the game’s kickoff.
The most diverse play options and attractive odds were still the cruise’s official bets.
One could bet on win-lose-draw, scores, number of goals…
Even on how many red and yellow cards there would be and which half would see more.
In short, there were too many options, each with different odds.
Of course.
The more unlikely the probability, the higher the odds.
Like the upcoming match.
The strengths of both teams were evenly matched, none being a traditional powerhouse.
Guessing the precise score would be very difficult.
“If one bets a million Gold Coins on a seven-nil score and it’s correct, one could win fifty million Gold Coins, the odds are high!” Tang Xiao mused to herself.
Wu Jie scoffed with a mock laugh, “How is that possible?
Two evenly matched teams pulling off a seven-nil scoreline?
That’s as likely as the sun rising from the west!”
“Then how do you suggest we bet?” Tang Xiao asked curiously.
Wu Jie glanced at the screen and snorted,
“The opening game can’t afford a loss.
They’ll be attacking like mad.
I think we just bet on a single match, Seni-Continent to win!”
“Forget about total goals, scores, the number of cards, and stuff.
Those are too hard to guess!
Don’t let your money go down the drain!”
“The minimum bet is a million Gold Coins, don’t just waste money!”
Tang Xiao nodded slightly, casually opening the betting interface.
She spent six million Gold Coins betting on a single Seni-Continent victory.
“Even if it’s an upset and we lose, it’s no big deal.
It’s as if those idiots Meng Sihua and his friend never gave us the money!”
Tang Xiao was quite good at consoling herself.
Wu Jie just smiled without saying anything.
The odds weren’t high, after all!
Betting six million Gold Coins to win would only bring a profit of over seven million including the stake.
But if they lost, not a penny would remain.
But Tang Xiao had a point – after all, that money was ‘given’ by those two fools, so a little gambling for fun wasn’t too bad.
Sitting there, one couldn’t just do nothing.
Other billionaires around were betting hundreds of millions to a billion at a time, not afraid to lose it!
Of course.
The game hadn’t started yet, and no one could be certain of the outcome.
After all, the commentators said that the strengths of the two teams weren’t much different; it all depended on who performed better on the day.
So…
If they won, a tycoon betting a billion could suddenly make tens of millions in Gold Coins, right?
As the seconds ticked by.
The game was about to start, but Fang Guozhi was nowhere to be seen.
Wu Jie and Tang Xiao glanced around more than once.
The teams were entering the field on the projection screen.
The game was about to commence, and the various betting pools were about to close.
Could it be he wouldn’t show up?
Surely Kun Qianxi wasn’t too afraid of losing to risk a billion Gold Coins on a game?
Just as Wu Jie and his friend were growing impatient,
at last.
Fang Guozhi made a formidable and dominant entrance with a group of people…
