Chapter 724: Chapter 723: Not focusing on the game, who allowed you to have such thoughts?
Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin’s expression, indulgently smiled with tenderness, and leaned on Wen Xin’s neck, his voice soft as he gently reminded her, “It’s okay to have a little fun, but don’t stir up trouble, after all, we have other important things to do.”
“Yeah, don’t worry, I know my limits…” Wen Xin just wanted to gamble for fun without any intention of causing trouble. Winning or losing didn’t really matter to her since she was wealthy.
Mu Chengxi watched Wen Xin’s excited expression, let go of her hand, patted her waist gently from behind, and spoke tenderly, “Go and have fun, just make sure you enjoy yourself.”
With Mu Chengxi’s permission, Wen Xin happily walked towards the exchange counter to get some chips, while Mu Chengxi followed, pulling out a black gold card from his pocket to pay.
Wen Xin had intended to use her own bank card, but when she saw Mu Chengxi toss his card over, she tactfully put her own card back into her pocket. She had to admit, Mu Chengxi was indeed wealthier than her, he had a card she didn’t possess.
Mu Chengxi followed behind Wen Xin, carrying a box of chips for her, wherever Wen Xin went, Mu Chengxi would follow.
Even though all of Wen Xin’s skills were formidable, she seemed to lack a natural talent for gambling, always losing no matter what she played. Within twenty minutes, out of the 50 million in chips, only tens of thousands remained.
Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi with a pitiful expression. Mu Chengxi just smiled indulgently and raised his hand to gently ruffle Wen Xin’s hair.
“I’ll help you win it back.”
After speaking, Mu Chengxi pulled Wen Xin and switched places with her, taking the seat Wen Xin had just vacated. He grabbed the dealer’s sign from the side and placed it in front of himself, starting to act as the dealer.
A few foreigners watched Wen Xin’s actions and exchanged glances with each other, scoffing with ridicule. They thought that regardless of who it was, neither Wen Xin nor Mu Chengxi could do anything but lose sitting there.
And now, Mu Chengxi was daring enough to act as the dealer, which probably meant he would lose his chips even faster. They were eager to see how this pair of Chinese would end up losing everything and leave.
They had seen too many people lose everything they had here, these naive newcomers weren’t their first encounter. Those people had already anticipated just how terribly these two would end…
Mu Chengxi sat calmly in his spot, facing the scornful glances surrounding him with a faint smile.
The first round began, and Mu Chengxi gambled all of the remaining chips Wen Xin had left, directly onto the table. He wasn’t someone who liked to leave himself a way out. It was all or nothing for him, either he wouldn’t have a penny left or he would be the biggest winner.
Seemingly tasting victory already, those people saw Mu Chengxi’s move and their smug smiles grew more apparent. They began to bet, placing the same bet as Mu Chengxi, not intending to leave him any escape…
After everyone had placed their bets, the card dealer began to deal cards. Everyone rubbed their hands together in anticipation. They were thrilled to have come across these two unlucky souls today; it had been a long time since they had won so comfortably.
Mu Chengxi picked up his cards from the table, glanced at them, and his lips curled into a mysterious and confident smile.
“Wait for the reveal…” Being the dealer and having bet all his chips, Mu Chengxi could only wait for others to challenge him with a threefold stake…
Seeing Mu Chengxi’s arrogant and confident demeanor, the other four people glanced at each other and subtly exchanged looks. Three of them threw down their cards to fold, allowing the one with the best hand to reveal his cards.
The last one looked at his cards, holding an unassailable hand, confident that Mu Chengxi’s cards couldn’t beat his. This time, he could directly send these two home!
“Five times… not challenging…” The blue-eyed man’s gaze fell on Wen Xin, who was leisurely leaning against Mu Chengxi, his eyes lecherous and arrogant.
“Hey, do you want to raise the bet? For example… that little beauty by your side, I can value her at 10 million…”
Men had already set their sights on Wen Xin. The moment they laid their eyes on Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi, they could hardly contain their drooling over her.
Seeing Mu Chengxi looking rich, they really felt embarrassed to make a move, but now, they thought Mu Chengxi must be out of money; otherwise, he wouldn’t avoid exchanging his bet and still try to turn the game around here.
“I’ll put in 20 million…”
“I’ll put in 30 million…”
“I’ll put in 50 million, and as long as the girl is with me, I can guarantee the girl…”
The man hadn’t finished speaking when a streak of blood appeared on his cheek; nobody knew how it got there.
The men who were speaking up jolted to their feet, looking for the danger around them, but they found nothing out of the ordinary.
At that moment, Mu Chengxi still stood calmly in his spot, one arm wrapping around Wen Xin’s waist, seating Wen Xin on his thigh, his mouth curving into a bloodthirsty smile.
“Little ancestor, I just wanted to simply gamble with you, but I didn’t expect that others would harbor such inappropriate thoughts. I wonder if I should kill them, or… castrate them? Which would you prefer for dealing with them?”
Mu Chengxi’s voice was not loud, but the few men around heard him loud and clear. They exchanged glances and let out a contemptuous laugh.
“Do you know where you are? You’d be lucky to leave this place alive, let alone have extravagant hopes…”
One of the men looked disdainfully at Mu Chengxi. He reached for the weapon at his waist to take action against Mu Chengxi, but before he could finish his words or draw his weapon, he stood frozen in place, unable to move.
The other three, shocked by such a scene, stepped forward to check and saw three gleaming silver needles in the man’s arm, neck, and head, clueless about what they were…
“What… what is this?”
“It’s something that can take your lives out of thin air!” Wen Xin, seated in Mu Chengxi’s arms, looked at the men with an arrogant gaze, let out a cold laugh, and unconsciously tapped her hand against the edge of the table.
“If you’re going to gamble, then gamble properly. There’s no point in having irrelevant thoughts… Well, do you still want to play? If not, consider it your concession, and it’s time for me to collect the money!”
Wen Xin looked at the men standing motionless, daring not to make a move, and laughed disdainfully, her tone arrogant and reckless.
“Of course we’ll play…”
The last man holding his cards saw that the frozen man was not in any immediate danger, his sense of security returning. Since they couldn’t have the beauty, they didn’t want the money within grasp to slip away either. They couldn’t end up empty-handed, right?
After speaking, the man returned to his seat, counted his chips, and pushed them into the betting pot, declaring, “Open at five times…”
