Family Is a Lingering Ghost (Continued)
The owner from Siracusa immediately frowned.
Lin Yuhsia's actions were so rough and reckless that he instantly connected the woman outside who was about to wreak havoc throughout the casino with the other party.
But Lin Yuhsia shook her head.
"No... but I came here for her."
"You came for her?"
"We'll fight her off for you, and in return, you'll have to hand over 30% of the shares in this store..."
"That's impossible!"
Upon hearing this, the man almost immediately refused.
Thirty percent?
This could kill him!
It's important to know that he himself only owns about 60% of the shares in this store; the rest are held by other stakeholders.
Once you hand over 30% to the other party, your control over the store will collapse instantly!
This is something he absolutely will not allow!
"Don't be nervous... I don't want this stock permanently..."
Seeing the other person's excited appearance, Lin Yuhsia wasn't in a hurry.
She just kept talking to herself.
"I'll only be here for a week... The 30% stake is just a matter of this week. When the time comes, you can buy it back at market price... I know you're masters of this kind of tactic. I won't interfere with the market price then; that's your prerogative."
"As a guarantee, I will not transfer this equity in any other way within this week... I just need you to declare that I will be the owner here, and not let anyone know... Is that alright?"
"... Who exactly are you?" The Lupo frowned, his eyes darting around uncertainly. "Besides, why should I believe you can defeat her?"
"You don't need to believe it, because you can't find anyone else to help... I already know you've called on quite a few people, but none of them could beat her..."
"The only way you can save this place now is to take back the money by force... I know that's what you're best at. Many of your compatriots in Lungmen do the same thing." Lin Yuxia said calmly, but her words made the boss frown.
He carefully examined the girl in front of him.
Knowing about Lungmen, he remained calm... and Ernesto was also there with him...
"Are you Lin Yuhsia?"
Is this important?
"... Perhaps it's not important." Realizing that the other party was the eldest daughter of the Lungmen gang, the Lupo boss frowned, but his emotions gradually calmed down.
He remained silent for a long time, unsure of what the other person was up to.
But the truth is indeed as the other party said; now it seems that the only way for him to go is to use violence to take back the money Maria won.
However, once he chose this path, he could no longer stay in this city.
Moreover, he didn't trust the girl in front of him... Was she helping him get through this round just for a week's public statement?
Something's not right about this transaction.
But soon, his underling rushed over.
"Uncle, something bad has happened!" A young Lupo man came running up, panting heavily, his face grim. "It seems she's planning to continue gambling with us!"
"At this rate, we can't afford to lose anymore!"
"... It seems you don't have much time left." Lin Yuhsia laughed upon hearing this.
Although she didn't recognize the strange woman in black, she had to admit that the other woman had done a good job.
This created a very good opportunity for me.
Seeing that her boss was still hesitating, Lin Yuxia delivered the final blow.
"You're from the same family, aren't you?"
"..."
"I understand your social system. A large part of you is family-based... Although you have been marginalized from Siracusa in recent years, you still operate according to your own rules."
"Have you considered how you will respond to your family members if you fail here?"
Lin Yuhsia smiled, a smile that was extremely aggressive.
These words became the final straw that broke the man's back.
After a long silence, he gritted his teeth again.
"I see..."
Soon, the girl who had signed the contract with the man arrived at the casino, full of self-satisfaction.
Meanwhile, in the vast casino, the last few people stopped playing games and all sat around a table, watching Maria confront the sweating dealer in front of her.
The other person's hands were trembling, and cold sweat was pouring down their forehead.
Before him, Maria's ton of chips was enough to suffocate anyone who saw them.
At that moment, Lin Yuhsia's lips curled slightly, and she decisively walked to the side, becoming the troublemaker who disrupted the situation amidst everyone's astonished gazes.
"Please... redeal the cards?"
She smiled, pushed out her chips, and gave Maria a defiant look.
After a moment of silence, Maria didn't say much, but quietly took back the chips in front of her, allowing the girl to join in midway.
The betting... has started again!
"So... is Ms. Maria really here?"
"Don't rush, the perfume here is too strong, I can't judge them all, okay?"
On the bustling streets, Texas and Lappland were diligently sniffing the air.
After learning that Maria remembered them, they were eager to have more contact with Maria.
Unfortunately, Maria also had her own things to do.
Therefore, they never have much free time.
Having learned from Little Regret that Ms. Maria was out having fun, Lappland couldn't wait any longer and prepared to go out and find Maria.
Texas, though conflicted, followed suit.
To adapt to the environment, the two of them changed their attire slightly.
Lappland's outfit hasn't changed much; she's just taken off her coat and is now wearing a tube top and hot pants.
Meanwhile, Texas reluctantly changed into a more conservative swimsuit, revealing her beautiful figure, but also stubbornly put on a jacket, looking somewhat restrained.
The two of them followed Maria's unique scent as they searched for her.
Soon, they arrived in front of a casino.
Meanwhile, a large crowd was gathering nearby.
"You've all done well..."
The leader was a young man in a suit and tie. He looked somewhat young, but he couldn't hide the gangster aura about him.
This piqued the curiosity of both Lappland and Texas.
But the other party seemed completely oblivious to the girls' approach, still busy mobilizing the group of thugs in front of them.
"If anything goes wrong later, all of you rush in... Don't worry about the other customers or anything else, just beat them all up, then take as many chips as you can and run! Remember, you're here to rob people, don't worry about anything else!"
"But..." one of the thugs asked, somewhat confused, "Isn't this the boss's shop? What would we gain from robbing this place?"
"You don't need to worry about that, just do as I say!"
The young man didn't explain much to these people, but simply continued giving orders.
"If you get caught, you're out of luck. We'll give you a fixed amount of money. If you don't get caught, we'll also give you money based on the amount of chips you robbed... The only requirement is that when you're in there working, you have absolutely nothing to do with us. You're the ones who organized this and wanted to cause trouble, understand?!"
"Yes!"
Although the young man phrased it subtly, that was enough for the petty thugs.
They didn't care about anything else; all they knew was that going in to grab chips could be exchanged for money, and that was enough for them.
Upon hearing this, Lappland and Texas understood everything.
"As expected, you're still using the same old tactics... Is it because someone has beaten you by too much, and you can't just take direct action, so you've switched to this method?"
Lappland pursed her lips and walked out.
Upon seeing the distinctive family crest on the other person's clothing, she curled her lip in disdain.
"The Losoloya Family? You've all come to this place? What a bunch of stray dogs."
"..."
Texas didn't reply; she just stood to the side, looking somewhat downcast.
Meanwhile, the young man on the side didn't recognize the two women in front of him at all; he just frowned and shouted sternly.
"I don't care who you are, this is a matter for the Losoloya Family... Since you know that, then mind your own business!"
"Quite the boast."
Lappland curled her lip, stood unceremoniously in the center of the group, and her eyes turned malicious.
"Keeping guys like you around will only tarnish the reputation of the Siracusa Family."
"Now that you've been driven out of Siracusa, stop calling yourselves a family. As vermin, you should stay in the garbage dump with pineapple pizza!"
"Don't be so arrogant!"
As she spoke, a faint silver light flickered in her eyes.
Such arrogant words instantly enraged everyone present, who glared fiercely at the two girls in front of them.
A battle... is about to begin!
Inside the casino.
Maria tilted her head slightly, glanced to the side, and then looked away.
In front of her, Lin Yuhsia, with a forced smile and twitching lips, still confidently threw out the cards in her hand.
"Four Aces, ma'am... I have four of a kind, the highest four of a kind..."
"Sorry, straight flush... you lost."
Maria discarded her cards and calmly announced the final result.
The calm words immediately caused Lin Yuhsia, who was standing next to him, to widen her eyes in surprise.
How is that possible?!
To be honest, she really found it hard to believe the cards Maria played at that moment... but she also knew that Maria could not possibly have cheated.
Because...
"I hope you can tone it down a bit next time... I don't really like these little tricks."
Maria wiped away the extremely thin glass shards from her cards, placed them quietly on the table, and silently watched the girl.
She had discovered the girl was cheating early on... She had transformed the dust and sand into glass and secretly smuggled it into the deck.
Those fragments, less than a millimeter in size, adhered to the playing card, and to an outsider, they were completely indistinguishable.
But...
To Maria, any means of dealing with such people were laughable.
Her eyes are like terrifying scanners.
Seeing that her cheating methods had been exposed, Lin Yuxia was speechless. She just gritted her teeth and silently got up.
"I lost..."
