It seems the staff on the previous shift had forgotten to replenish the cash box this afternoon, resulting in such a blunder.
Just when she was about to apologise and inform Long Yu that she needed to go procure more money, she suddenly thought of an idea.
Picking up her purse, she took out exactly 450 yuan and was about to add it to pile, when she heard a tap on the glass window.
Long Yu who saw her flustered actions, stopped her.
"Miss, you don't have to do that. I'm not in a hurry. How about you go get the money while I wait for you here," he said to her after getting her attention.
In truth, it wasn't that Long Yu wanted to linger around. Rather, he was afraid that the casino might not reimburse the lady if she really used her own money.
Xiao Lan's face became red from embarrassment when she realised that the young man had noticed her blunder.
"This… Alright, thank you sir for your patience. I will be back with the money as soon as possible," she apologised before swiftly leaving through the door behind her.
Seeing that he had nothing to do at the moment, Long Yu once again activated his x-ray ability.
Within seconds, a large vault hidden behind the wall near the counter, caught his attention.
Long Yu had to strengthen the x-ray ability's effect, before his vision could pierce through the vault's walls.
After seeing what was inside, he finally understood how lucrative it was to own Nanjing's largest casino.
The amount of wealth inside could compare to some of the largest banks in Nanjing city.
From the thousands of stacks of bills that he saw inside, he estimated that its worth would definitely reach hundreds of millions of yuan.
Somewhere next to the vault, he also spotted a storage consisting of various firearms. As expected, such a large amount of wealth would surely have some kind of protection.
Suddenly, Long Yu was roused from his exploration of the casino's secrets, by a familiarly sweet voice.
"Excuse me sir..sir?"
Reflexively, he looked towards the direction where the voice was coming from.
Instantly, Long Yu's heart and brain stopped working.
What he was staring at right now, was Xiao Lan's body, in its full glory.
From her ample perky bosom and perfect waistline, to her modest woodlands, and finally to her beautiful bare long legs. He was taking it all in.
Long Yu, in all his life, had very little close interactions with other females, except for his little sister. Seeing a beautiful female, naked, especially close up, was too much of an impact for him.
He could immediately feel a reaction in his pants as well as a pressure gushing up to his nose.
Luckily, Long Yu was saved by the timely deactivation of the x-ray contact lenses' ability.
[Activation duration left: 0 minutes]
Xiao Lan who did not receive any response from him, was feeling really nervous. She thought that she might have had taken too long, which angered the young man.
"Ahem," Long Yu cleared his throat and tried to calm his emotions.
Inside, was a part of him that felt apologetic towards the lady, yet there was also a part of him that felt glad, that the incident happened.
"Ah, my bad for being distracted. So I take it the money is ready?" he finally responded.
Seeing that Long Yu was not angry, Xiao Lan felt relieved.
"Yes it is. Thank you sir for waiting. I once again apologise for having to make you wait," she said, before handing him a small black duffle bag.
"No its fine, I don't mind at all," Long Yu replied with a smile, as he unzipped the bag to check the contents inside.
"Oh yes, here's a tip for your service." He handed her a stack of bills, which he took from inside the bag.
Xiao Lan, who was still in a relieved state of mind, froze. One single stack from the bag was equivalent to 10,000 yuan!
She could not comprehend why this young man, was rewarding her with such a huge sum of money, especially after the mistake she just made.
Little did she know that, it was because she had impressed Long Yu twice already.
The first time was her kind-heartedness, which he noticed, when he tried to exchange for chips.
Whereas, the second time was her, willingly using her own money to take responsibility, and correct the mistake she made.
'I definitely did not increase the tip to compensate for a certain incident. Definitely.' Long Yu convinced himself as he maintained his smile.
...…
5 minutes later.
After seeing the smile on Long Yu's face turn upside down, when she repeatedly tried to reject the tip, she finally relented.
"In that case… thank you very much sir for your tip," she thanked him politely.
Hearing what he wanted, a smile immediately appeared on Long Yu's face again.
Xiao Lan could not help but feel like she was tricked. 'Wuu..I fell for it. He was pretending to be angry after all,' she complained in her heart as she watched him leave.
Just steps away from the exit, Long Yu suddenly turned around and walked back towards Xiao Lan again.
She was frightened when Long Yu suddenly grabbed her by the shoulders.
At first, she wanted to shrug him off and protest against his rude actions. However, once she saw the serious expression on his face, she stopped struggling.
"Listen carefully, in less than a month, something terrible will happen. A catastrophe on a global scale will most likely happen, this place included. I advise you to stock up on as much water and preservable food as possible," he said as he stuffed his contact number into her hands.
Before Xiao Lan could react, the young man was already walking towards the exit once again.
"Oh right, if you trust me, you should quit your job soon and try not to leave your house on the 30th this month." She heard his voice entering her ears again, before he disappeared from her sight.
Xiao Lan could only stare at the piece of paper with the young man's contact number written on it, with a confused look.
'What was that all about?' she thought to herself.
