Uncle Mu looked at him with a smile and said, "You think I'm cheating? Why don't you let everyone see if you still have cards in your sleeve?"
The fat man glared at Uncle Mu, took off his clothes, shook them off as he did so, and seeing no cards fall, he retorted...
You're definitely cheating!
"I've been a casino gambler for years, and I've rarely seen such a winning hand. You got it as soon as you sat down at the table."
"It's hard for anyone to believe."
"If you didn't cheat, I'll chop your hand off right here and feed it to the dogs!"
Li Chen was also somewhat bewildered, his gaze fixed on the two arguing over the same issue.
This fat guy has a problem, Uncle Mu has a problem too.
Both of them seemed to have used special methods to change the appearance of the cards. The energy fluctuations were very small, but Li Chen could sense them.
The casino naturally has a detection system in place.
Regardless of who is using their abilities, they can be sensed immediately, but these two seem to be relying purely on their skills.
The energy fluctuations are small because when they use techniques, their bodies naturally carry their own internal energy.
This does not require extremely precise energy control.
For now, just be a bystander.
Uncle Mu remained calm and said, "You can check the surveillance footage, or check if any cards are missing from the deck."
As he spoke, he shook his suit jacket, and no cards fell off, proving that he had not cheated.
The fat man was very unwilling, after all, to expose someone's cheating, one must at least see the cheating process, and he naturally knew the method.
But does he dare to say it?
If word got out, I'd probably be skinned alive by the gamblers around me.
"You just wait." Just as the fat man cursed Uncle Mu viciously and tried to leave, a hand blocked his way.
The dealer, expressionless and with an unusually cold gaze, looked at the fat man and said, "You should go to the mine."
"Unless you hand over the 50,000 Merit you just borrowed, you're not leaving today."
The fat man's face immediately turned pale.
Speechless for a moment, they looked pleadingly at Uncle Mu, who had just been cursing them.
Fifty thousand Merits is too much.
To these people, it might just be a game.
But if you really lose, this money is money you'll lose your life for.
Uncle Mu neither responded nor stopped him, but patted Li Chen on the shoulder and said, "Take the chips with you, we're going to exchange them for Merit."
"That Gluttony guy must have noticed us too."
"They're probably already watching this show from somewhere."
Li Chen nodded, took all the larger chips, and simply threw the smaller ones on the table; he didn't have that much room to put them.
Moreover, those smaller ones weren't worth many Merits, so he simply didn't take them.
After the two left.
The fat man lay limp on the ground, still being dragged away by two security guards.
Uncle Mu didn't even glance at it, but instead explained, "Gluttony's power is measured by its mineral resources and this casino."
"Gamblers lose money, can't repay their loans, and are eventually dragged into working for free in the mines. They can also use casinos and mines to earn free labor on a large scale and make a lot of money."
"Then doesn't your faction make money?" Li Chen, somewhat puzzled. Although he knew that Uncle Mu was Sloth Authority Holder, other factions had places to earn Merit, so what about Uncle Mu?
Uncle Mu calmly replied, "Uh... of course there are, but they're shared with those in Authority Holder. Haven't we already earned enough Merit points this time?"
"I, Sloth Authority Holder, earn my living through my own abilities, which is far better than theirs; at least I don't exploit the weak."
Li Chen twitched his lips. No wonder he was Sloth; now I see...
The two quickly converted their chips into Merit and deposited them into their phones.
At this moment, a dealer wearing a mask walked over. You could tell from her voice that she was a woman, but you couldn't tell from her clothes.
"Sir, Lord Gluttony requests your presence upstairs for a chat."
"Good."
Uncle Mu glanced at the surveillance camera directly above him, smiled slightly, and realized he had already expected this.
The two followed the dealer into an elevator.
This underground casino seems to be quite deep.
The elevator took almost a minute to arrive at its destination.
The two had just come out.
The security guards then conducted a search, checking for any weapons being carried.
However, it only lasts for a short while.
Li Chen also took the opportunity to observe his surroundings. Everything was made of glass, allowing him to see the outside world.
It's not City of Sin, but an underground mine.
Countless people are currently working hard to mine inside, while many armored figures are watching them to prevent anyone from slacking off.
And there was a familiar face among them.
That fat guy from just now, one second he was a big shot at the gambling table, the next he was a hardworking slave.
That is the truth.
After the security guard finished his inspection, he said coldly to Uncle Mu, "He can't come in. This is Lord Gluttony's territory."
Uncle Mu smiled slightly, a faint aura of death swirling around him, and said, "Could it be that I, Sloth worker, am not qualified to lead people?"
"Or is Gluttony trying to start a war with me?"
The security guard broke out in a cold sweat, unsure of what to say. He was only doing his job, caught between two sides, and dared not utter another word.
At that moment, a very young voice came from the camera next to the elevator.
"Let them in."
The security guard suddenly felt the world lighten and quickly made way for him.
Uncle Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, unsurprised, and teased, "Still the same old stinky temper."
The two walked through the glass walkway.
The mine is right beneath their feet; no one can see inside, but those inside can see out.
Li Chen was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Do these people have to pay off all the money they owe the casino before they can leave?"
Uncle Mu nodded, then shook his head.
"This mine is a deadly place; very few people can leave alive unless they are extremely strong and have enough potential. Perhaps Gluttony will assign them to work as security guards to continue paying off their debts."
"The main purpose is to smooth out their horns and make them forever subservient to him, and that's why Gluttony has been able to look down on everyone in the City of Sin."
Li Chen looked down at the men and women below, but didn't feel sorry for them. The City of Sin was essentially a large prison; they were just in a different place to continue serving their sentences.
Moreover, it was the result of their own Greed.
At the end of the glass passageway, a large door that had already been opened came into view.
There seemed to be painful screams coming from inside.
"No, I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you."
"I still have 10,000 Merit on my phone, I'll give them all to you..."
Uncle Mu walked in first, expressionless.
Li Chen followed behind.
The interior space is very large, surrounded by glass walls, and enclosed by rocks on the outside. A huge chandelier shines brightly in the center.
A man covered in blood lay on the ground, his hands severed and tossed into a nearby trash can.
A red-haired man sat with his arms crossed in front of a desk, his scarlet eyes coldly watching the man on the ground, seemingly oblivious to Uncle Mu and his companion entering.
The man on the ground, his face covered in blood, looked at the red-haired man with utter fear in his eyes and pleaded.
"I'll give it to you, please."
Let me go.
