Those who bet on Gao Jianfei's winnings only received a paltry $300 million.
Gao Jianfei then walked over to the area where Tang Bao and the others were sitting and chatted casually for a few minutes.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
Suddenly, the clock hanging in the center of the casino struck eight times, indicating that it was now 8 p.m.!
The allotted time for the match has arrived!
At the same time, the casino's main entrance swung open, and a group of people strode in!
The man at the front, in his forties, had a sharply defined face and thin lips, giving him a sharp and sarcastic air. His eyes were bright and expressive, radiating a powerful confidence that permeated his being.
Chen Yifeng!
Chen Yifeng, the world's number one gambling god!
"Clap clap! Clap clap! Clap clap clap!"
As soon as Chen Yifeng entered, enthusiastic applause erupted from the VIP seats. This applause was much louder and more enthusiastic than the applause when Gao Jianfei entered.
The King of Thailand and others even stood up, clapped vigorously, and waved to Chen Yifeng.
In the casino environment, Chen Yifeng clearly possessed an extremely imposing presence. He waved back to his supporters with a smile and then walked to the "chairman's" platform, where he warmly shook hands with Yamaguchi Harukoku, Obasi, and others.
Indeed, he possesses the style of a master!
In fact, the Yamaguchi-gumi's scheduled match time was 8 PM, and both sides were required to enter the venue in advance. However, Chen Yifeng timed his entry very precisely, arriving just at 8 PM. This caused a delay in the actual start of the match.
However, neither William, the president of the World Gambling Association, nor Song Qian were dissatisfied with Chen Yifeng's failure to enter the venue in advance.
The guests in the VIP section showed no sign of dissatisfaction.
Just kidding, the world's number one gambling god can of course be late, can act like a big shot, he has the right to!
Soon, William, the president of the World Gambling Association, stood up and announced loudly into the microphone on the 'chairman's' platform, "Alright, both sides of today's competition are here! Mr. Chen Yifeng, ranked number 1 in the world in gambling skills! Mr. Gao Jianfei, ranked number 51 in the world in gambling skills! Please come to the gambling table! The competition is about to begin!"
Gao Jianfei and Chen Yifeng walked slowly towards Song Qian.
Gao Jianfei subconsciously touched the gold watch on his left wrist. Chen Yifeng caught this gesture out of the corner of his eye and his heart skipped a beat. For a moment, he had a strange feeling... Was this Gao Jin's watch? Gao Jin wore this watch every time he participated in a competition?
He even had the illusion that he couldn't tell whether the person he was competing against was Gao Jin or Gao Jianfei!
However, Chen Yifeng quickly shook his head... "Hmph! Gao Jin is my defeated opponent, and today's Gao Jianfei is just the second Gao Jin! What do I have to worry about?"
Gao Jianfei's hometown is ZG City.
Gao Jin pressed the phone tightly to his ear, his whole body trembling violently… “World number one… Chen, Chen Yifeng; world number 51… Gao… Gao… Gao Jianfei… My son, actually, actually entered… entered the gambling world just like me… World number 51? This… competition? My son is challenging Chen Yifeng…”
At this moment, Gao Jin felt as if he were in a dream! His entire consciousness and senses were becoming hazy! In a daze, a memory that had been buried deep in his heart suddenly surfaced in his mind, and then gradually merged with what he had heard on the phone!
It was as if he had followed his son into the casino, stood by the gambling table, and faced off against Chen Yifeng!
Tokyo's Grand Casino!
"Please welcome tonight's head referee, the world's number one referee, the renowned Mr. Song Qian, known for his fairness and authority in the gambling world!"
William announced loudly.
Applause immediately erupted in the casino.
Song Qian stepped forward with a graceful demeanor and said with a smile, "I have been retired from the refereeing profession for many years. Since the match between Yi Feng and the former Gao Jin, I have not officiated any gambling matches. The reason I am back today is because the duel between Mr. Gao Jianfei and Yi Feng today may be as high-profile as the match between Gao Jin and Yi Feng! Well, of course, this is just my opinion. The true value of the match will depend on the upcoming games. So, please wait and see!"
After saying that, Song Qian nodded to Gao Jianfei and Chen Yifeng, "Please, both of you!"
Gao Jianfei and Chen Yifeng sat down on either side of a large, gleaming gambling table.
Chen Yifeng took out a piece of chewing gum, put it in his mouth and chewed it, which was his signature move in every competition.
Gao Jianfei gently stroked the gold watch he was wearing.
Their gazes met in mid-air, passing over the gambling table, igniting a silent battle that entangled and intertwined!
"Before the match begins, I'll announce the bets!" Song Qian stepped forward as well.
The entire room fell silent.
"The two sides have already discussed the stakes for this match. First and foremost... the limbs of both sides! The loser will have their limbs amputated!" Song Qian said expressionlessly.
It's as if what he meant by cutting off limbs wasn't cutting off a person's limbs, but rather randomly cutting off a cat or dog!
That's true. Song Qian had hosted countless gambling competitions throughout his life, and in his view, dismemberment wasn't anything particularly rare. He frequently encountered life-or-death competitions, so dismemberment was commonplace!
A collective gasp rippled through the VIP section, but this initial shock was quickly replaced by the burning intensity in everyone's eyes.
Most of the guests clenched their fists tightly, their hearts filled with excitement!
Once these international celebrities arrived at the casino, they temporarily abandoned their identities; they were now all fanatical gamblers! Bloodthirsty spectators! The bigger the bet between Chen Yifeng and Gao Jianfei, the more excited and wild they became!
"Huff... huff..." Some guests even let out low hissing sounds like wild beasts!
Feilong's wife held Feilong's hand tightly, her palms sweating profusely.
"Wife, don't worry, don't be nervous, Jianfei will definitely win!" Feilong kept comforting her.
"The bet is on limbs. Now, both of you, please confirm again. Is there any problem?" Song Qian glanced at Chen Yifeng, then at Gao Jianfei, and said righteously. Of course, there was a hint of schadenfreude in his gaze towards Gao Jianfei. If Chen Yifeng won against Gao Jianfei's limbs and crippled him, then Song Qian and the others would have fulfilled the mission entrusted to them by the Qingcheng Sect.
"I have no problem. I have no problem with whatever the bet is." Chen Yifeng chewed his gum lightly. "Because no matter what the bet is, no matter what game we play, I'll always be the winner."
This isn't about showing off; it's a natural confidence. A confidence born from the loneliness of being at the top!
“I’m fine with it too.” Gao Jianfei didn’t say anything more and just nodded.
Song Qian nodded, then continued, "In that case, I will announce the second bet agreed upon by both parties. Mr. Gao Jianfei has proposed to bet all of Yi Feng's properties! So..." He paused, then waved to William on the 'chairman's' platform.
William stood up abruptly, holding a notebook, and read aloud, "According to the statistics, the total value of all of Yi Feng's assets, including stocks, cash, businesses, futures, real estate, funds, as well as private helicopters and private yachts, is 46.7 billion US dollars!"
"Whoosh..."
Upon this announcement, many guests in the VIP section couldn't help but let out a low murmur.
Chen Yifeng's net worth is terrifying!
However, the world's number one gambling god deserves this status. After all, Chen Yifeng is affiliated with many forces, including several national powers. The monthly commission he receives is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Moreover, Chen Yifeng has extensive international connections, and his investments in stocks and businesses have almost never lost money. Over the years, his money has been making money, with profits snowballing.
Of course, Chen Yifeng also won all of Gao Jin's assets in the battle, which was a considerable fortune.
“Then…” William looked at Gao Jianfei with a gaze that contained a hint of disdain and ridicule, “Mr. Gao Jianfei, if you want to gamble on all of Yi Feng’s assets, then you must present wealth equivalent to Yi Feng’s assets, which is no less than 46.7 billion US dollars!”
William didn't believe that Gao Jianfei had raised such a huge sum of money.
Chen Yifeng and Song Qian also didn't believe it!
The guests in the VIP section also shook their heads.
How could a young man possibly come up with as much money as a seasoned gambling king?
It's hundreds of billions of US dollars, which most of the guests present couldn't afford.
"Heh, if you can't come up with that much money, don't even mention betting my entire fortune. Otherwise, you're just asking for a beating!" Chen Yifeng looked at Gao Jianfei with disdain.
At this moment, Harumi Yamaguchi stood up abruptly. "Our Yamaguchi-gumi has reached an agreement with Mr. Jianfei, allocating 10 billion US dollars as his betting capital!"
"Hmm?" Chen Yifeng felt displeased. "Yamaguchi-kun, you should think this through! If Gao Jianfei loses this match, not only will he lose everything, but he will also be crippled and have no ability to repay the debt!"
"Hmph!" Yamaguchi Harumi sneered, "Mr. Chen Yifeng, you don't need to worry about our Yamaguchi-gumi. It's just a mere 10 billion US dollars!"
Chen Yifeng was speechless. He wouldn't dare to compete with the Yamaguchi-gumi, an international underground force, in terms of wealth. His eyes darted around, "Ha, 10 billion US dollars? I'm afraid that's the maximum amount the Yamaguchi-gumi can lend Gao Jianfei! Not enough!"
"Haha, the rest of the money will be lent to Mr. Gao Jianfei by me, Mohammed." At this moment, Zhu Cong stood up casually, "It's only a little over 30 billion US dollars, nothing, nothing."
“Uh…” Chen Yifeng stared at Zhu Cong, his teeth itching with hatred… Damn it, that piece of shit Gao Jianfei actually managed to curry favor with Yamaguchi Haruko and members of the Arab royal family!
"Is everything alright?" Zhu Cong asked William.
William gave an awkward smile. "Since Mr. Harumitsu Yamaguchi and Chief Mohammed are providing the funds, there's no problem! Alright, the betting is settled!"
"Alright!" Song Qian announced loudly... "In this match, the stakes are on both sides' limbs, and also on their assets worth 46.7 billion US dollars!"
The stakes were so high that they exceeded the expectations of the guests present, and for a moment, they all held their breath.
Even Obasi frowned.
zg city.
Gao Jin clearly heard Song Qian announce the stakes. He was completely bewildered, muttering to himself, "Just like back then! Just like back then! Betting limbs, betting all my assets... Jianfei, this kid Jianfei, he wants to avenge me! He wants to take back everything Chen Yifeng took from me, with interest! Jianfei... you... you... you have to win! You must win!"
Suddenly, a sharp, incomparable light appeared in Gao Jin's usually cloudy eyes... "Chen Yifeng, today, I will personally witness how you lost to my son!"
For some reason, Gao Jin suddenly developed a kind of confidence in Gao Jianfei! The source of this confidence was also unclear and inexplicable.
"My gambling skills, Gao Jin's, truly surpass yours, Chen Yifeng's! Like begets like! My son, Gao Jin's son, will surely defeat you, Chen Yifeng, today!"
Tokyo's Grand Casino!
"Alright, now that the stakes are settled, please suggest the terms of the game," Song Qian announced loudly.
"I don't care, let's give him a chance." Chen Yifeng pointed disdainfully at Gao Jianfei. "You decide what to bet on, how about it?"
“Heh, I don’t need you to give me a chance,” Gao Jianfei laughed. “Today, I’m going to completely defeat you. If I set the bet, you’ll inevitably feel resentful after you lose. How about this… let referee Song Qian set the bet!” After a pause, Gao Jianfei lowered his voice and said, “In fact, you’re all in cahoots. Letting Song Qian set the bet is actually a bargain for you. But I don’t care.”
"You!" Chen Yifeng glared angrily at Gao Jianfei, but fortunately, he was very shrewd, and the anger on his face disappeared in an instant. He waved to Song Qian and said, "Very well, Grandpa Song, you decide the bet."
At this crucial moment, Song Qian remained remarkably composed. After a moment's thought, he declared loudly, "Alright! Let's play three games! First, grab the cards! Second, all-in! Third, dice! Three games, best of three. Do you two have any questions?"
These three types of betting are actually the three types that Chen Yifeng excels at!
To be fair, Song Qian was clearly biased towards Chen Yifeng.
In the VIP section, some guests who were familiar with Chen Yifeng's gambling skills understood the situation. As a result, they began to look down on the Song family, who were known for their fair and impartial refereeing.
“No problem!” Gao Jianfei and Chen Yifeng answered at the same time.
"Alright, the competition officially begins!" Song Qian announced authoritatively. "The first round is card grabbing!"
Chapter 355 Stealing the Cards!
Chapter 355 Stealing the Cards!
The competition has officially begun!
Best-of-three format!
First round... grab the cards; Second round... all in; Third round... dice!
Song Qian waved to an assistant referee, who was also a member of the Song family. The referee handed Song Qian two brand-new decks of cards.
Song Qian announced, "There are two decks of cards here. In a moment, I will split the two decks and throw them into the air! Mr. Gao Jianfei, Mr. Chen Yifeng, please each draw 8 cards and compare their hands! When I say comparing hands, A is 1 point, and J, Q, K are 0 points. This is a very simple card-drawing game. Get ready."
