After the dice were opened, the result was exactly the opposite of everyone's bets at the table, leaving the dealer looking disappointed.

"Wha... what's going on?! You guys are in cahoots, aren't you?!"

Some gamblers, caught up in their anger, even turned their ire on Cifer and his companion, launching into a tirade of insults.

Who do you think we are?

A hint of anger flashed across Nolan's handsome face, and the gamblers belatedly realized what kind of person they were questioning. They hurriedly covered their mouths, not daring to breathe.

"But you're quite bold, daring to cheat right in front of us!"

Nolan shifted his gaze to the dealer, a disdainful smile on his face.

Even without the ability to Awakening Neural Scan, his hearing, which is far beyond that of ordinary people, is enough to identify the little tricks he had just made.

"What cheating? Do the mighty 'Sky Woman' and 'Black Winged Great Demon' intend to renege on their debt?!"

The dealer was starting to regret his foolish behavior, but he could only stubbornly insist that they couldn't afford to gamble.

People always enjoy watching a good show, especially when the gossip is about a famous or important figure.

The dealer's loud question drew all eyes to the table, and he felt a little more confident.

No matter what, without evidence, you can't just take action in front of so many people, can you?

Such important figures, unless they are notorious for indiscriminately killing innocent people, will care about their reputation.

"Rise."

Nolan raised her hand and flicked her fingers, causing the entire table to rise vertically and float in the air, revealing the hidden mechanism underneath to everyone's eyes.

"They're cheating! This casino is cheating!"

Even knowing that the casino is the big winner, most people can only hand over their money there. Many people will also take a chance and think that they will be one of the few winners.

But once the glamorous facade is stripped away and the scam is laid bare, the losers will feel that they are one of the many victims harmed by these fraudulent schemes.

The focus shifted instantly, and the casino dealers and staff became the targets of scorn, though they dared not speak out against it.

"I... I don't know what this thing is either. You can't just say I used this thing to cheat, can you?"

The dealer persisted, insisting that as long as there was no evidence, it was fine.

"Mr. Ulquiorra! This is a misunderstanding!"

The casino manager had heard his subordinates' report and rushed over from his office, arriving just in time to prevent the situation from escalating further.

"Boss! They..."

The dealer was even thinking of turning the tables, accusing them of slandering him for cheating, and believing that his boss would definitely protect his people, but...

"Say less!"

A slap landed on the croupier's face, making him cover his face and dare not speak again.

"So you mean I'm slandering your people?"

Nolan had already put the table down, while Cifer sat in his chair, watching the newcomer with great interest.

"I absolutely did not mean that. Please understand, our small temple is truly no place for a great deity like you."

"Mr. Ulquiorra, all the money you win today will be handed over to you without missing a single penny. In addition, I will personally offer you 100 million Belly for tea. What do you think?"

The person in charge leaned against Cifer and whispered, his extremely upright posture surprising Cifer.

Last time I tried to make money at Crocodile's casino, the person in charge refused to pay without saying a word, forcing me to resort to violence to collect the debt.

"Furthermore, my subordinates upset everyone today, which is due to my poor management of them. I will definitely deal with this seriously."

"How about this: everyone who loses money today can take their principal with them intact, and everyone who wins money can take all of their winnings!"

Seeing that Cifer did not directly refuse, the person in charge straightened up and shouted these words to everyone in the casino, while ordering his subordinates to begin clearing the place.

For casinos, reputation is of paramount importance.

Even though everyone knows that nine out of ten gambling games are scams, there are some things that can't be discussed openly.

Moreover, as major players, their main source of income is not cheating; cheating is merely a low-level tactic used only in special circumstances.

Therefore, he can choose to temporarily sacrifice his interests, and the most important thing is to leave a good reputation.

When the gamblers in the casino heard that they could make money for free, they all rushed to the front desk, took their share of the money, and left quickly.

Within ten minutes, the entire casino was emptied, leaving only the casino staff and Cifer.

During this time, the person in charge's men kept piling banknotes in front of Cifer.

"Since Mr. Ulquiorra discovered that he cheated, then he must have cheated!"

"His life is at your disposal, sir."

The dealer wanted to use public opinion to protect himself, but the person in charge had a completely different idea.

First of all, he knew very well whether his subordinates had cheated. He had clearly been told not to cause trouble, but he ignored the warnings, which led to this result.

Therefore, he must pay the necessary and heavy price for the casino's losses.

Secondly, the reputation of such important figures cannot be discussed in public.

He said that even if you didn't do it, you still had to have done it.

Otherwise, he would lose face, and the consequences could extend far beyond just one person.

"Really... you're so sensible, I don't even know how I should cause trouble anymore..."

Cifer rested his chin on his hand, looking helpless.

The other party was a smooth talker like Bater. As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. Cifer was really embarrassed to make a move against this kind of person.

"It is truly a pity that I have disturbed your enjoyment."

The person in charge, however, smiled with relief at that moment. Having received this reply, the problem was essentially solved.

"Since he's one of yours, then you can handle him. I have no interest in bothering with such a small fry."

"My arrival here is merely to find someone."

Cifer ignored the mountain of money that the person in charge had his men move in front of him, since he would need it later.

The Banlong was drawn from its sheath, a flash of light appeared, and a powerful sword aura poured out, shattering everything in its path, turning half of the casino into ruins.

But that terrifying sword energy stopped in a corner of the casino.

As the dust settled, a man dressed entirely in purple, wearing wooden clogs, and with two crisscrossing scars above his eyes stood at the end of the sword mark.

The manager merely frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping over him, while everyone in the casino became excited upon seeing the figure:

"That's wonderful, it's a lifetime!"
