In the casino's back room.
Ron and Golden Lion were both stunned.
They hadn't expected a casino that looked neither big nor small to be absolutely rolling in money behind the scenes.
Besides bundles of cash, there were all sorts of gold bars, necklaces, rings, and even various beautiful pieces of jade.
"Jihahaha!" Golden Lion laughed happily as he stuffed things into a bag.
Sure enough... wherever you were, money could buy smiles. Golden Lion was the most direct proof of that saying.
"Give me a break. None of us have it easy out here." In a corner of the back room, the casino's owner had been beaten black and blue. Blood kept streaming from his nose, dripping onto his shirt, which had already been tugged askew.
"Why didn't you give me a break when I was winning earlier?" Kaido went up and landed another solid punch, his fist striking the owner with a dull thud.
"I'm sorry. My men didn't recognize you. It was our fault," the owner said rather meekly.
Kaido ignored him and turned to Ron, who was rummaging through the cabinets and chests. "Hey, Ron, should we kill this guy?"
"Do whatever you want," Ron replied without even looking back. He didn't care anyway.
With that, Ron suddenly turned around and looked at the owner huddled in the corner.
Holding a wooden hairpin in his hand, he raised it a little and asked suspiciously, "I can understand a casino having gold and silver jewelry, but you accept things like this as collateral too?"
"I liked the look of it, so I accepted it. Purely a personal preference," the owner said.
As soon as he finished, before Ron could speak, the owner hurriedly added, "If you like it, you can have it. Girls all love this style."
