Master Xing, the God of Gambling

This was the largest underground casino in South City, and also its most mysterious place. Though called a casino, it was really more of a place for conducting transactions.

Things that could not easily be traded in the open, or people who could not easily appear in public, could be traded here.

To this day, no one knew who owned the underground casino. All anyone knew was that the owner was a formidable person. After all, someone who could avoid the forces on both sides of the law in a place like South City, independently carve out a place like this, and bring goods from all over the world, both legitimate and illicit, into circulation was no mere fish in a pond.

Rumor had it that the underground casino had countless ties to the underground auction house in Nanyang and was an operation under the protection of the godfather of South City's underground auction house.

Here, gambling was only one of the attractions.

Deep inside, there was even a fighting arena. More precisely, it was a place to bet on fights.

Bets were placed on the winner and loser before the fight began, and what was wagered was human lives.

All sorts of people mingled here, a chaotic clamor filled the place, and strange smells hung in the air.

Ji Chuxing had only managed to slip in with difficulty, yet she strolled through the casino as though she were out shopping. She looked this way and that before stopping in front of the largest gambling table, which also had the most people around it.

The game at the biggest table was nothing special. The players simply bet on big or small.

But by now, everyone's eyes were red from gambling, as if they had gone mad.

"Big, big, big! It's definitely big this round!"

"Open it! I won, hahahahahaha!"

Voices rose in a clamor. The winners were smug, the losers dejected. Only Ji Chuxing looked on with curious eyes, like a little fairy who had wandered into a world of fame and fortune by mistake.

Her looks were striking, and after she had stood there for a few seconds, she drew the attention of the people around her.

Someone gave a wolf whistle.

"Hey, beautiful, come over here. Big brother will look after you!"

A yellow-toothed young man standing a few steps away from Ji Chuxing let his gaze roam over her without restraint.

"Here alone, beautiful? Come on, stick with big brother, and I'll take you flying!"

"Hahahaha, what kind of flying are we talking about?"

"Hey, don't go taking advantage of a beautiful girl who doesn't know better. Don't listen to him, little beauty. How much money did you bring? Got a hundred? Hahaha, if that's not enough, big brother will give you some!"

Laughter erupted around them, and ill-intentioned gazes lingered on the girl.

Ji Chuxing did not even spare them a glance. Her gaze rested casually on the dealer's hand as he shook the dice. Listening to the sound, she had already figured out how to play!

The yellow-toothed young man's face darkened when he saw her cold attitude and realized she was giving him no face. Just as he was about to make trouble, the dice for the new round were shaken and brought down on the table with a slap. The lid was about to be lifted, and everyone's attention turned to the dice cup, so the yellow-toothed young man did not come over to bother Ji Chuxing again.

When the dice were revealed, big or small was settled. Some cheered, while others wailed.

For the next round, Ji Chuxing pulled five crumpled bills from her backpack and placed them on small.

None of the gamblers who came here were ordinary. Their bets started at four figures, and this was the first time they had seen a young girl put down five ten-yuan bills.

The yellow-toothed young man from before burst out laughing.

"Hey, little sister, if you don't have any money, why don't you come with big brother?"

Ji Chuxing finally spoke, slowly. "If you're going to gamble, then gamble. If not, get lost."

Her voice was clear and melodious, but it carried a chill. The yellow-toothed young man's expression froze. "Heh, you've got a big mouth. When you've lost every last cent, I'd like to see how you walk out of here!"

As he spoke, he placed his bet on big, opposite Ji Chuxing's.

Ji Chuxing did not spare the yellow-toothed young man a glance.

Her action instantly quieted the people around them.

The girl looked young, but she placed her bet without hesitation.

Even the person shaking the dice could not help glancing at her.

Ji Chuxing looked so calm that she did not seem to be there to gamble.

After a stir ran through the crowd, the dealer lifted the lid.

Everyone looked over. It was small!

The yellow-toothed young man froze. It was his first loss that night.

He instinctively glanced at Ji Chuxing, only to see what looked like a provocative look in the girl's eyes.

In fact, he was reading too much into it. Ji Chuxing had not looked at him at all, because he was ugly. The yellow-toothed young man refused to accept it. What kind of dog-shit luck had this girl stumbled into?

In the next round, Ji Chuxing again bet on small, and the yellow-toothed young man followed by betting on big.

He lost again!

The yellow-toothed young man seemed to grow bolder with every battle. In the third round, when he saw Ji Chuxing bet on small, he once again bet on big.

After five rounds, he had lost every one. Nearly everything he had won that night was gone, leaving him with only ten thousand yuan.

Ji Chuxing, on the other hand, had brought only fifty yuan with her, but she had now won a thousand times that amount. Each time she won, she bet all of it on the next round.

Ji Chuxing's fifty yuan quickly became fifty thousand.

The yellow-toothed young man gritted his teeth. In the sixth round, he followed Ji Chuxing and bet on small.

He put down everything he had.

When the dice were revealed, it was big.

The yellow-toothed young man froze on the spot, but he quickly came to his senses.

"You tricked me!" This round, Ji Chuxing had bet only thirty yuan!

He reached out to grab Ji Chuxing's arm. "You fucking bitch, you did that on purpose..."

But before he could touch Ji Chuxing, a bang rang out.

The yellow-toothed young man had already been sent flying with a kick, landing five meters away.

The surroundings fell silent. Only the sound of the yellow-toothed young man's anguished wails could be heard.

Ji Chuxing's gaze was indifferent. "What bad luck." Couldn't he just gamble properly? He talked too much!

No one around them dared make a sound. Those who had spoken so rudely earlier belatedly realized what had happened.

The girl looked young, but how could anyone who came to the underground casino be an ordinary person?

A true person could not be judged by appearance! She might well have a big shot backing her.

Those who had spoken rudely earlier were now a little shaken.

After all, they were here to gamble, not to wager their lives.

But this minor incident naturally did not cause much of a commotion. People came to the underground casino to win and lose, and there were plenty who could not take a loss and no shortage of troublemakers. Everyone was used to it. Someone soon came and dragged the yellow-toothed young man away.

Ji Chuxing did not get greedy. After winning fifty thousand yuan, she left the table, having lost interest.

On the casino's second floor, behind a huge, one-way floor-to-ceiling window, Wei Xingzhou stared at the scene in a daze, still unable to process it.

Bo Yanchen sat in his wheelchair, the smile at the corners of his lips deepening.

It took Wei Xingzhou a long moment to find his voice. "This... your little girl is a bit rebellious." She had clearly agreed to sleep at home.

Are you sure you brought back a good little darling and not a little cannonball? What if she blows you up one day?

Young Master Wei then thought back carefully and recalled that he had been quite polite to Ji Chuxing.

Mm, one look was enough to confirm she's someone I can't afford to provoke. Especially when there's another master behind her I can't afford to provoke.

Bo Yanchen gave him a chilly glance, and Wei Xingzhou immediately shut his mouth.

Fine, fine, fine. No matter what, your little girl is the best in the whole world. She's your ancestor!

I can't bear to watch.

"But what did she come here for?" Wei Xingzhou wondered aloud.

He saw Ji Chuxing heading deeper inside. From the way she carried herself, it did not look at all like her first visit.

Someone who did not know better might think she owned the underground casino.

Bo Yanchen said, "The little girl is quite sensible. She may be a little money-grubber, but she has principles. She just gave the Wen Family fifty thousand today, and tonight she earned it back. Not a penny more or less."

Wei Xingzhou: "..."

Master, could you possibly be any further off the point?
