Chapter 438: Solving Problems at the Gambling Table!
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
Ling Feng's voice was not loud, but with the help of true qi, it reverberated throughout the room, falling clearly into everyone's ears.
"You! You little brat, you have some nerve to repeatedly insult me!" Sun Tianba trembled with rage and glared at Ling Feng, almost bursting with anger. "You're asking for death!"
As he spoke, Sun Tianba prepared to have all his men swarm and crush the arrogant boy to pieces.
"Wait a minute!"
At that moment, the gambling master, who had been sitting quietly and highly respected by Sun Tianba, suddenly stood up and gently pressed down on Sun Tianba's arm while smiling faintly. "Boss Sun, since we are in a casino, we should resolve our issues through gambling. What do you think?"
"Hmm?" Sun Tianba was puzzled. "Brother Tuoba, what do you mean?"
Tuoba Cheng, the gambling master, stroked his small mustache and whispered in Sun Tianba's ear, "Boss Sun, this kid's background might not be simple. In the imperial capital, we must not act recklessly. Offending the scions of powerful families could lead to consequences beyond what we can handle."
Sun Tianba's eyes twitched as he scrutinized Ling Feng, nodding in agreement.
"Let's do as Brother Tuoba suggests."
Sun Tianba took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and waved his sleeve, signaling his aggressive subordinate to stand down.
Tuoba Cheng smiled faintly and took a few steps forward to Ling Feng, offering a fist-and-palm salute. "Young sir, I am Tuoba Cheng."
Ling Feng squinted, sized up Tuoba Cheng, and with his arms crossed, replied indifferently, "How do you propose we resolve this through gambling?"
Among those present, there were indeed some experts, especially Tuoba Cheng, whom even Ling Feng found difficult to read. Solving the issue without a fight would be ideal.
However, if it came down to a fight, Ling Feng had the despicable donkey by his side. If necessary, he could deploy it to ensure everything would be fine.
"Opening the doors for business naturally means valuing harmony. Our Batian Society and the Lin family casino are merely negotiating some business matters. There is no need to draw swords."
Tuoba Cheng laughed. "Everything has its reasons. In the past few days, I have won continuously at the Lin family casino, and now the Lin family casino owes our Batian Society over a hundred billion crystal coins. Our boss Sun is willing to forgo the gambling debts if we can be compensated with the property deeds of West City. That seems fair, doesn't it?"
"Hmph, our Lin family can come up with a hundred billion crystal coins. Take the money and leave!" Lin Moyun said angrily.
"Straightforward!" Tuoba Cheng glanced at Lin Moyun and laughed. "But I don't want to leave just yet. I want to keep gambling until someone can beat me."
"You!" Lin Moyun's chest heaved with anger. If the Lin family casino had someone who could beat Tuoba Cheng, they wouldn't have lost so badly in the first place.
It was clear that they wanted to crush the Lin family's business completely, leaving them with no way out.
Tuoba Cheng shook his head and grinned. "You can roll ten times in a row. If you surpass me even once, I lose."
"No need. Since we agreed on one round, one round it is."
Ling Feng shook the dice cup haphazardly while silently communicating with Zifeng, "Zifeng, it's all up to you now!"
Under everyone's gaze, Ling Feng shook the dice cup randomly, with no discernible technique.
Almost everyone believed that with such poor skills, Ling Feng had no chance of winning against even a moderately skilled gambler, let alone a master like Tuoba Cheng.
The Lin sisters held their breath and felt like they were almost suffocating. Every time Ling Feng shook the dice cup, their hearts tightened and inched closer to despair.
Thud!
Finally, Ling Feng slammed the dice cup onto the table and calmly said, "I'll reveal mine first."
"Go ahead." Tuoba Cheng smiled slightly. He was confident of his victory regardless of whether Ling Feng revealed his dice first or not.
Raising an eyebrow, Ling Feng slowly lifted the dice cup. All eyes were on the dice as they gradually appeared.
"Six! Six! Six...!"
By the end, everyone could see clearly: three fives and three sixes!
Lin Moyao and Lin Moyun exchanged a glance, both surprised at Ling Feng's luck.
This is a pretty high score, but against a gambling master like Tuoba Cheng...
Lin Moyun clenched her fists. For the past three days and nights, Tuoba Cheng had consistently rolled six sixes every time!
"Young friend, your luck is quite good." Tuoba Cheng smiled faintly. Ling Feng's roll didn't pressure him at all.
"Enough talk, it’s your turn."
Ling Feng knocked on the table with his finger while maintaining a calm demeanor.
No one noticed the nearly invisible purple dot swiftly approaching Tuoba Cheng's dice cup and slipping inside silently. No one present could detect its presence.
That purple dot was, of course, Zifeng.
Knowing his gambling skills were inferior to Tuoba Cheng's, Ling Feng had to use some tricks. With Zifeng around, Tuoba Cheng would be hard-pressed to roll higher than six!
