Chapter 648: Chapter 648: Statue of Liberty

The casino was bustling with excitement, with numerous tourists lingering in front of each gambling table, some delighted, some sorrowful, others crying or laughing. The myriad life experiences were fully on display here.

Having been through a life-and-death experience, Yang Xudong gained great insight and now, seeing this familiar scene again, felt no ripples in his heart.

Yang Xudong knew that "Caesar" casino’s owner, Robertson, was an influential figure in Las Vegas with connections reaching high places. After being driven out of the hotel, he was certain that every move he and his people made would be closely monitored by Robertson’s men, even their entry into the casino would be under surveillance by the casino’s security systems.

Yang Xudong also knew that not only did Robertson have many strong subordinates, but he himself was a Meta-Human, with an extremely robust physique and remarkable combat skills, equivalent to an Earth Level Martial Artist from Huaxia.

In fact, the scariest part about Robertson wasn’t his own formidable strength or his numerous powerful subordinates; it was his connection to the "Statue of Liberty," the Meta-Human organization from America that struck fear into everyone’s hearts.

Having been established for over a hundred years, America’s "Statue of Liberty" had gathered many individuals with special abilities from all over the world. The collective strength of the organization was immense, not inferior to the "Dragon Guard" from Huaxia.

Just this fact alone was enough to deter many opponents.

To Yang Xudong, although people like Fang Bai, the Dragon Maiden, Long Da, and Long Er were all powerful, even a fierce dragon could not suppress the local snakes on their own turf. This was Robertson’s domain, and with the backing of the "Statue of Liberty," it would be difficult for Fang Bai and the others to gain an advantage in any conflict with Robertson here.

However, seeing that Fang Bai and the others didn’t seem to care at all, Yang Xudong refrained from saying anything discouraging. After all, any conflict between Fang Bai and Robertson’s group was inseparably related to him. Whatever happened next, he would stand together with Fang Bai and fight side by side.

After all, his life had been saved by Fang Bai—it would only be a matter of returning the favor if it came to that.

To this moment, Yang Xudong still didn’t understand the identities of Fang Bai, the Dragon Maiden, and others, nor the reasons they had traveled from Huaxia to America. Yang Xudong never took the initiative to pry into these private matters.

If Yang Xudong knew that the "Dragon Guard," to which Fang Bai and others belonged, and the "Statue of Liberty" from America were both parts of the world’s seven major Meta-Human organizations, he wouldn’t have these worries.

The "Dragon Guard" and the "Statue of Liberty" were of equal renown. In America, even though the "Statue of Liberty" had the advantage in terms of timing, location, and people’s support, they would not risk a do-or-die situation, causing mutual destruction with the "Dragon Guard," to avoid giving the other five major Meta-Human organizations an opportunity to take advantage.

Therefore, the conflict between Fang Bai and the others and Robertson would not escalate to an uncontrollable situation.

In fact, the "Statue of Liberty" received news of the conflict between Fang Bai’s group and Robertson almost instantly. They had not intervened yet simply because they wanted to use Robertson as a pawn to weigh the caliber of the "Dragon Guard" squad led by Fang Bai.

With the "World Meta-Human Organizations Elite Championship" about to commence, the "Statue of Liberty," as the host, aimed to win the championship and smoothly take over the leadership for the next five years of the world’s seven major Meta-Human organizations. They needed to know both themselves and their opponents well, then plan their strategies accordingly.

Even if the conflict between Fang Bai’s group and Robertson hadn’t occurred, the "Statue of Liberty" would have secretly engineered other incidents to test the strengths of the participating squads from the world’s six other great Meta-Human organizations, including "Dragon Guard."

Every "World Meta-Human Organizations Elite Championship" attracts squads from all over the world, numbering in the dozens, but those from "Dragon Guard," "Statue of Liberty," and the other five great Meta-Human organizations possess the most strength, with the rest essentially serving as cannon fodder.

Despite this, the championship still attracts many organizations sending their squads to compete, in order to showcase their presence.

Regarding the world’s major Meta-Human organizations, Yang Xudong didn’t know much, only that America’s "Statue of Liberty" was very powerful, strong enough to contend with his former sect, one of the big branches of the Hidden Sect, "Ghost Doctor Valley."

Yang Xudong silently followed behind Fang Bai, vigilantly watching his surroundings to guard against Robertson’s men suddenly appearing and causing harm to them.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yu was being held by the Dragon Maiden, refusing to leave her embrace.

"Brother Yang, you used to be a regular here, what’s the fastest way to win money?"

Fang Bai suddenly turned his head and asked.

When Yang Xudong heard the words "regular," he felt a bit embarrassed but still honestly replied, "Many games of gambling can result in quick wins or losses. However, the one I liked most was ’Sic Bo,’ which is a dice game for betting on big or small..."

"Sic Bo," also known as a game of big or small, is a method of gambling with dice where various players place bets against the house. Before each bet, the dealer shakes three dice in a covered vessel. Once all bets are placed, the dealer opens the vessel to reveal the result and distribute payments.

Because the most common bets involve guessing the total points of the dice to be big or small, this game is often referred to as betting on big or small.

After hearing Yang Xudong’s explanation, Fang Bai laughed and said, "Alright, let’s play ’Sic Bo’. No real need to learn this one, I’ve seen it often in movies and TV... haha..."

Yang Xudong couldn’t help but give a wry smile, thinking that Divine Doctor Fang was being a bit naive, thinking that casino money was easy to win. Little did he know, there were many experts in a casino, especially the dealers, who were experts among experts. To win money, one had to either be extremely lucky or have accumulated years of experience. Otherwise, the chances of losing were incredibly high.

Yang Xudong admitted that Martial Artists had a keen sensitivity in their senses and had a certain advantage when playing Sic Bo. But if the dealer was an expert, then this advantage would be neutralized, and it would all come down to luck.

In the past, Yang Xudong frequented casinos because of poor luck, consistently losing battles and, on one occasion, losing millions of US Dollars after drinking, which forced him to fight in several underground boxing matches for Robertson, eventually getting injured in the ring.

Seeing that the Divine Doctor was intent on playing big, Yang Xudong worried that the one million US Dollar chips he had exchanged would not be enough to cover their losses.

Under Yang Xudong’s lead, the two quickly arrived at the Sic Bo gambling table.

There were many clients playing Sic Bo, with skin colors yellow, white, and black all present, crowding around the table, placing their bets in various sections.

A short, stout dealer of Asian descent with a round face, speaking fluent English, was energetically encouraging everyone to place their bets.

Fang Bai stood at the table for a moment, his lips curling into a knowing smile, then casually threw a fifty thousand US Dollar chip into the area of the table marked "big."

"Let’s start small, test our luck first!"

Fang Bai said to Yang Xudong with a smile.
