ZhengBang's three gambling experts were repeatedly humiliated!
Blackjack...lost!
All in... lost!
Dice... lost!
Baccarat...I lost!
Roulette... lost!
It's all about losing!
Every single hand is a loss!
Tang Bao was getting restless. He paced anxiously around the casino. Although Zheng Bang Casino had only lost a little over 20 million since morning, which wasn't much for a decent casino, the other side showed no sign of stopping or showing any mercy.
He's determined to completely destroy Zheng Bang!
"Alright!" Tang Bao walked over and slammed his hand on the gambling table. "Broken Arm, what do you want in return for today? I, Tang Bao, admit defeat, Zheng Bang admits defeat. Just say the word, what will it take for you to stop!"
The man with the severed arm stopped betting, toying with a chip in his right hand, his gaze turning venomous as he looked at Tang Bao. "Heh, I know, as the head of a gang, you're under a lot of pressure. Fine, I'll give you one chance... Cut off your left arm, then kneel down and pour me a cup of tea." He paused, then chuckled sinisterly, "Also, after Gao Jin lost to Chen Yifeng last time, he vanished without a trace. Is he dead or alive? If he's still alive, then please tell me his address; I need to go see this old friend in person! Heh heh!"
With a severed arm, it emitted a chilling laugh.
Upon hearing that the demand for amputation was so outrageous, Tang Bao shouted, "Amputation, don't go too far!"
Inside the casino, Zheng Bang's dozens of henchmen instinctively rushed towards the severed arm.
"Ha!" The man with the severed arm remained unfazed. "What, trying to cause trouble?"
The four dark-skinned men behind him glanced at Zheng Bang's henchmen with utter disdain, and a fighting spirit gradually rose in their eyes!
Tang Bao waved his hand, signaling his men not to act rashly. "A severed arm, that means there's no room for negotiation?"
At this very moment...
"Uncle Tang! I'm here!" Gao Jianfei's voice came from outside the casino, and then he stepped into the casino.
Tang Bao and the man with the severed arm both turned their gazes toward the source of the sound.
They all saw Gao Jianfei.
Suddenly! The muscles around the severed arm's eye twitched wildly, his lips twitched involuntarily, and his gaze was fixed on Gao Jianfei!
Chapter 139 I'll deal with him!
Chapter 139 I'll deal with him!
As soon as Gao Jianfei entered the casino, he glanced around and immediately knew everything that was happening inside the Zheng Bang Casino!
The one-armed man had an arrogant and sinister expression. Behind him, four thugs exuded a menacing and dangerous aura.
Tang Bao's face was flushed and his breathing was erratic. The henchmen around him looked resentful and frustrated; the dealers were timid and hesitant; three men who looked like gambling experts at Zheng Bang Casino had expressions of despair on their faces; and most of the gamblers in the casino looked gloating.
Gao Jianfei smiled and walked straight toward Tang Bao.
Although Gao Jianfei sensed the piercing, menacing gaze of the man with the severed arm, a gaze that openly displayed hostility, he deliberately avoided looking at him. He didn't even glance at him! Instead, Gao Jianfei simply passed the man with the severed arm and walked towards Tang Bao.
Suddenly! Just as Gao Jianfei brushed past the severed arm, the severed arm stood up abruptly! Pointing its halberd at Gao Jianfei… “…Your surname is Gao? What is your relationship to Gao Jin?”
According to normal human instinct, for example, if you're walking towards a certain location and someone suddenly jumps out and yells at you, you should, in principle, pause, or show surprise. But Gao Jianfei was strange; he walked straight towards Tang Bao without stopping or changing the frequency of his steps!
Ignore it.
This is called direct ignoring.
Gao Jianfei's reaction startled the man with the severed arm. His outstretched arms froze, and his expression instantly turned ugly.
"Uncle Tang." Gao Jianfei walked up to Tang Bao and greeted him with a relaxed smile.
At this moment, Tang Bao seemed to temporarily ignore his formidable rivals, including the one-armed man. He pulled Gao Jianfei along, looked him over from head to toe, and then laughed heartily, "Tsk! My nephew, you're really handsome! Nephew, when your uncle first saw you, you were like a country bumpkin coming to the city, so green. But now... it's different! Now you really look like a senior manager of a big company! Not bad, not bad! You've improved! Our nephew has improved!" After a pause, Tang Bao pulled Gao Jianfei's hand, "Come on, nephew, didn't you have something to say to me? Let's go upstairs and talk." After saying that, he beckoned the three gambling experts, "You guys keep playing with this guy."
As he spoke, Tang Bao led Gao Jianfei toward the second floor.
"...Stop! You stop right there!" The man with the severed arm pointed furiously at Gao Jianfei's retreating figure. "You must be Gao Jin's relative, right? Gao Jin's crippled relative... Come here, let's gamble! You're Gao Jin's relative, he must have taught you gambling skills! I can't deal with Gao Jin myself in this life, so how could I let his relative get away with this? Come here! Sit down and let me teach you a lesson and humiliate you, just like Gao Jin did to me!"
Extremely insane!
Suddenly, Gao Jianfei turned around, extended his right index finger, and pointed it firmly at the severed back. A strange aura completely suppressed the shouts and clamor of the man with the severed arm. Gao Jianfei didn't say a word, quickly turned around, and walked with Tang Bao to the second floor of the casino.
The two stood behind the railing on the second floor, looking down at the lobby on the first floor as they talked.
"Nephew, this is none of your business. Don't worry about it. Your uncle will handle it," Tang Bao said nervously to Gao Jianfei, seemingly afraid that Gao Jianfei, young and impulsive, might do something foolish. After all, Gao Jin's name had been mentioned earlier when the arm was severed. Tang Bao was genuinely afraid that Gao Jianfei would be provoked and rush down to gamble with that madman who had lost his arm.
In short, Tang Bao's every word and action was filled with care for Gao Jianfei.
This is genuine. Gao Jianfei could sense it.
Gao Jianfei remained silent, glancing sideways at Tang Bao, his father's former close friend.
Tang Bao had a rugged face, a thick beard, scars on his face, and fine crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. This reckless appearance, however, gave Gao Jianfei a warm feeling.
"Uncle Tang, this guy came here for revenge because he lost to my dad before, right?" Gao Jianfei asked softly.
Meanwhile, the man with the severed arm continued to ravage the three gambling experts at Zheng Bang Casino. He didn't dare to directly confront Gao Jianfei; after all, this was Zheng Bang's territory. However, he could continue with his original plan, frantically raking in money until Zheng Bang couldn't sustain it any longer!
If Gao Jianfei is really good at gambling, I believe he will participate!
Tang Bao sighed, "Back then, I should have killed this guy. I was too arrogant. Brother Jin was riding high, and I never imagined he'd become such a threat. Alas... it's too late to regret it!"
Tang Bao's tone carried a sense of a hero's decline.
Gao Jianfei asked, "Uncle Tang, is there no other way to handle this?"
Tang Bao patted Gao Jianfei on the shoulder. "Nephew, there are many things you don't understand. In the underworld, people are often caught in a web of injustice. What goes around comes around. Casinos have their rules, and so do the underworld. Casinos are like battlefields. If I lead my men in and kill them, our Zheng Bang will incite public outrage. Then our organization will quickly decline and crumble. Ah, nephew, you really don't understand casino matters. You'd better not ask. Just live an honest, law-abiding life. Actually, even if this one-armed guy hadn't come looking for trouble today..." Our Zheng Bang Casino won't have an easy time either. In Dongxing, Hushi, a new gambling king named "Little Gao" has emerged, and his skills are likely even more terrifying than this one-armed guy. Dongxing has already announced that their "Little Gao" will sweep through all the underground casinos in G province. Our Zheng Bang Casino will be the first to suffer. Heh, actually, it's a cycle. Things change, don't they? Back when Brother Jin dominated the gambling world, sweeping through all the casinos in G province, how triumphant he was! And now… it's time to pay the price, it really is time to pay the price.”
"Uh... Uncle Tang, are you afraid of that 'Little Gao'?" Gao Jianfei felt a bit like laughing and crying at the same time.
"I'm afraid! What casino owners are afraid of is the gambling kings of other casinos. Of course I'm afraid," Tang Bao said, picking his nose. He was straightforward and honest.
Gao Jianfei said nothing more. His gaze fell on the swaggering severed arm. A full minute passed before Gao Jianfei turned to Tang Bao and asked, "Uncle Tang, what's that guy's name?"
Tang Bao was taken aback for a moment, but quickly replied, "His real name should be Hao Yizhao, but he has now changed it to 'One-Armed'."
“Okay.” Gao Jianfei took out his phone, smiled at Tang Bao, and then didn’t say anything more. He dialed Song Zhui’s number directly.
"Hello, Mr. Song. This is Gao Jianfei. Could you please have Huang Bojun search for someone's information online for me? His real name is Hao Yizhao, nicknamed 'One-Armed.' Yes, I need his real information and data in ten minutes. Is that alright? Okay, I'll wait for your call."
After hanging up the phone, Gao Jianfei patted Tang Bao on the shoulder, "Uncle Tang, let's go sit over there."
After speaking, Gao Jianfei and Tang Bao sat down on a sofa behind the railing.
Tang Bao looked at Gao Jianfei suspiciously. "Nephew, who did you call just now? What information were you looking for? You wanted to find information about the severed arm? Well, nephew, as I said, your father has withdrawn. Our Zheng Bang will take over this matter, even if it means suffering heavy losses. You absolutely mustn't get involved! You're an honest and simple boy. Brother Jin is right; you should live a normal, ordinary life. Don't get involved in this mess! You don't have the ability to get involved in the underground forces and gambling circles right now. Nephew, listen to your uncle, don't get involved in these things."
Gao Jianfei shook his head and chuckled, took out a pack of cigarettes, opened it, gave one to Tang Bao, and lit one for himself. Gao Jianfei knew that if he explicitly told Tang Bao that he was the gambling king "Little Gao," Tang Bao would absolutely not believe him!
So, a hundred words are not as effective as one deed. Let's wait and see, and prove it with our actions later!
Of course, Gao Jianfei wouldn't act rashly. Since he already had a cooperative relationship with the Song family, he would take advantage of them when the time came! Before taking action, he needed to find out the true details about the severed arm!
Anyway, it's just letting him be arrogant for another 10 minutes!
Gao Jianfei sat down in a chair and chatted casually with Tang Bao.
About ten minutes later, Song Zhui called...
"Mr. Gao, I have found the information you requested. Furthermore, I have contacted my family and had them verify the authenticity of the information I am about to provide you!"
Song Zhui is also very capable. Since this is his first time working with Gao Jianfei, he naturally wants to handle the tasks that Gao Jianfei has put forward perfectly.
"severed arm"
Hand speed: 95
Eye Speed: 88
Hearing: 87
Memory: 86
Overall rating: 89
World Ranking: 77
Affiliation: Bangkok Pistol Club, Thailand
Record (matches with official witnesses): 25 matches, 25 wins, 0 losses.
"Huh? A lousy guy?" Gao Jianfei was taken aback. This data was strange; the one-armed guy was only fast in hand speed, his other stats were mediocre. He was a cripple!
Song Zhui chuckled on the other end of the phone, “Mr. Gao, you must be wondering, right? Judging from the photos of this man with the missing arm, he's disabled, having lost his left hand! Why would someone who's lost a hand have such fast hand speed? Mr. Gao, let me explain briefly. For example, if someone loses their eyesight, their hearing will be very strong; if someone loses their ears, their eyesight will be exceptionally good. Therefore, a person who has lost a hand will use their remaining hand for everything. They'll also practice their other hand even harder. Hence, their hand speed will be very fast. Such a person excels at dice rolling. Also, this man with the missing arm is a gambling prodigy who suddenly appeared last year, directly affiliated with an underground force in Bangkok, Thailand. He's won 25 consecutive matches, achieving a very high status in Thailand! Mr. Gao, do you want to deal with him?”
Gao Jianfei smiled noncommittally, then asked, "Is his data accurate?"
“Absolutely true!” Song Zhui said with certainty.
"Alright, thank you, Young Master Song." Gao Jianfei hung up the phone. Then, he stood up abruptly!
Tang Bao had been observing his nephew ever since Gao Jianfei made that phone call. He noticed something strange about his country bumpkin nephew today.
Not only has his image improved significantly, but even when he makes a phone call, his attitude, tone, and expression are full of confidence and a kind of... indescribable aura!
At this moment, Gao Jianfei stood up and said to Tang Bao, "Uncle Tang, I'll go deal with him!"
After saying that, Gao Jianfei went straight to the first floor.
The way he walks really makes him look like someone who has achieved great success in a certain field!
Full of confidence!
In a daze, Tang Bao's memories overlapped!
Back then, whenever Gao Jin was about to deal with gamblers causing trouble at the casino, he would say the same thing to Tang Bao: "Bao, I'll deal with him!" Then, he would turn around and walk downstairs with the same confident and determined steps!
Tang Bao rubbed his eyes hard, then ran downstairs as fast as he could.
The man with the missing arm, seeing Gao Jianfei come downstairs, refused to glance at the three gambling experts from Zheng Bang who were already devastated by their losses. He merely stared sideways at Gao Jianfei as he descended. Like Tang Bao, the man with the missing arm also experienced overlapping memories!
Back then, when he caused trouble at Zheng Bang Casino, Gao Jin used the same attitude to run down and gamble with him!
However, the man with the severed arm didn't take Gao Jianfei seriously. Gao Jianfei was too young and too inexperienced.
Gao Jianfei went downstairs and went straight to the gambling table. He said softly to the three down-on-their-luck gambling experts from Zheng Bang, "Please take a break, I'll play with him."
Under Gao Jianfei's gaze, the three gambling experts naturally stepped aside.
At this moment, Tang Bao also rushed downstairs. He found that he couldn't muster any thought to stop Gao Jianfei. His mind was in complete turmoil; he couldn't tell whether the person standing in front of the gambling table was his nephew Gao Jianfei or the former God of Gamblers, Gao Jin!
