Sister Hong moved a stool and sat behind the railing on the second floor of the casino lobby, crossing her legs and smoking. Behind her stood 10 thugs wearing camouflage vests, their arms thicker than an average person's thigh.
"Damn it! Does that kid dare to come again? If he's got guts, let him come and cause trouble again tonight!" Sister Hong cursed.
At this moment, the mistress quickly ran to Sister Hong, bent down and said, "Sister Hong, the troublemakers are here! They've entered the casino!"
"What?" Sister Hong stood up abruptly from her chair, glaring fiercely at the entrance of the casino.
At the same time, the mistress, holding a walkie-talkie, nervously relayed the message, "Attention everyone, the target is about to enter the casino, everyone be careful!"
At this moment, Old Zhao, who had an earpiece in his ear, suddenly stopped and said to Shen Hong with a slightly serious expression, "Brother Shen, the other side is here!"
Shen Hong said "Oh," and his gaze swept towards the entrance of the casino, his pupils slightly contracting.
As for Sister Hong's casino, Gao Jianfei and Chen Yaohui had already entered the casino in full view of everyone!

Chapter 186 A Gamble with Life!
Gao Jianfei temporarily put aside the troubles caused by those monks and now focused all his attention on Sister Hong's casino!
This is when Gao Jianfei is fighting Hong Jie with bayonets; how can he afford to be distracted by anything else?
Those monks, killing them is no big deal. Gao Jianfei has already disposed of the bodies and covered his tracks, so he's not afraid of anyone investigating, and indeed, they won't find anything!
As for killing a few monks, it would definitely provoke the dissatisfaction of the other monks in Qingyan Cave, and they might even hunt him down! Their internal martial arts were indeed giving Gao Jianfei a headache! However, with the Super Ghostly Hand, what are a few monks worth?
One comes, kill one! Two come, kill both!
The moment Gao Jianfei stepped into the casino, he felt countless eyes focused on him!
The thugs, bodyguards, loan sharks, and gamblers who had heard a bit of the news all instantly fixed their gazes on Gao Jianfei! Among the many gazes, two people's eyes directly caught Gao Jianfei's attention!
In the casino lobby, there were some simple lounges. In one corner, ten burly bodyguards stood in a row, while a woman with bared teeth and a cigarette dangling from her lips glared fiercely at Gao Jianfei!
Gao Jianfei raised his eyelids and glanced at the woman.
Hmm, not bad, very imposing. She naturally exudes a kind of ruthless, domineering aura, strikingly similar to Chen Yaohui's!
That was a vicious, selfish, brutal, and ruthless spirit—a "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free" attitude!
"Sister Hong?"
Gao Jianfei immediately guessed the woman's identity!
The underworld boss of ZG City!
The second gaze that caught Gao Jianfei's attention was that of a seemingly refined man, around 30 years old, standing beside a baccarat table. His gaze was intense and sharp, like a hungry vulture circling in the desert, searching for a corpse!
Gao Jianfei noticed that Old Zhao, the gambling expert at Sister Hong's casino, was acting like a coward, accompanying this man. Gao Jianfei immediately guessed the man's identity…
Gambling expert!
A gambling expert who rushed over from the provincial capital, D city, to lend a hand!
At that moment, the gambling expert's gaze pierced deeply into Gao Jianfei's pupils! It seemed as if he were investigating! Studying!
Gao Jianfei smiled calmly and gave him a dismissive look.
Both of them had eyesight far superior to that of normal people, their eyes were full of energy, and in an instant, they had observed every detail of each other's appearance!
Two gambling masters have already clashed silently once!
Just then, Sister Hong pointed her spear at Gao Jianfei... "Fine! You son of a bitch! I thought that 'Little Gao' was someone important, turns out it's just you... You hit my son, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you have the nerve to bully me! You son of a bitch! Trying to take over my casino? I'll kill you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the ten bodyguards behind Sister Hong all reached for their waists! Their waists were covered by the hem of their camouflage vests, but it was clear that there was a bulge in that area, as if something was hidden there! Without a doubt, it was a gun!
As Sister Hong shouted angrily, and as the bodyguards reached for their guns, some of the other bodyguards scattered throughout the casino also reached for their waists!
The atmosphere instantly became tense and confrontational!
Hong Jie stared at Gao Jianfei with bloodshot eyes, gritting her teeth.
Enemies are especially hostile when they meet!
The vast majority of gamblers in the casino lobby, upon seeing such a situation, fled in terror.
At this moment, Chen Yaohui stepped forward. He looked up at Sister Hong and said, "This must be Sister Hong from ZG City, right? I am Chen Yaohui, the boss of the Dongxing Gang in Huzhou City, G Province! Today, our casino's gambling expert, Gao Jianfei, is going to wipe out your casino! If you have the ability, then accept the challenge; if not, then close down! If you think you can take us down just because you're a local bully, then the World Gambling Association will teach you a lesson!"
In terms of momentum, Chen Yaohui didn't want to lose!
In truth, deep down, as the head of the underground forces in a developed coastal city, Chen Yaohui looked down on "country bumpkins" like Sister Hong. Entering the casino and observing its facilities and management, Chen Yaohui really wanted to ridicule Sister Hong... Damn, is this what you call a casino?
Gao Jianfei stared at Sister Hong for a few seconds, his eye muscles twitching slightly, and his right hand touched the throwing knife at his waist. If he used Little Li's Flying Dagger, he could kill Sister Hong instantly! Or even just by launching a hidden weapon, he could take her down.
Gao Jianfei has already listed Sister Hong as someone he must kill! To Gao Jianfei, she's equivalent to tens of thousands of experience points!
Gao Jianfei also deeply resented her numerous sins.
However, Gao Jianfei knew that now was not the time to kill. Leaving aside whether he could even leave the casino unscathed after killing Sister Hong, the crime of assassinating the top figure in ZG City's underworld would be enough to make him hunted down by all the underworld forces in the entire province!
Therefore, it's best to suppress our murderous intent and crush Sister Hong's power first! When Sister Hong is reduced to a down-on-her-luck leader of an underground organization, killing her will be as easy as killing a chicken!
Gao Jianfei glanced sideways at Sister Hong. "Sister Hong, let's set aside the grudges between me and your son for now. I'm also a Chinese, and I've returned to my hometown this time, undoubtedly hoping to make a name for myself. Coincidentally, I'm interested in your casino. Since you've opened a casino and started doing business, you should accept normal challenges. If you can't even do that and want to solve problems with violence, then... you're not qualified to run a casino! Also, you can try to fight me. I'm telling you for sure, if I die in this casino today, you'll be dead within a week! And if you want to kill me, you'll have to pay a price, a sufficiently heavy price!"
Gao Jianfei fixed his gaze on Sister Hong, and the spirit-locking technique of Little Li Flying Dagger directly entangled Sister Hong!
A cruel smile crept onto Gao Jianfei's lips. "If it comes to fighting, I'm not afraid. You need to understand that." His right hand slowly moved towards the Little Li Flying Dagger at his waist.
Li Xunhuan's Flying Dagger never misses its target!
Gao Jianfei's fatal blow!
"You think you can scare me?" Sister Hong shrieked sharply, but there was already a hint of cowardice in her voice. For some reason, despite her life being stained with blood—a true survivor of the knife's edge—she felt a sudden, inexplicable chill run down her spine under Gao Jianfei's gaze.
Finally, she waved her hand and said to the bodyguards, "Alright, let's see how capable this kid is!" She slumped down, gestured towards Shen Hong with her lip, and said loudly, "Mr. Shen, it's up to you now."
Gao Jianfei smiled with satisfaction.
Once upon a time, he was just an extremely lowly and insignificant laborer in this city! For example, someone like Sister Hong could make Gao Jianfei vanish into thin air as easily as crushing an ant!
At this very moment, Gao Jianfei was able to stand up to Sister Hong without fear! He completely overwhelmed her in terms of momentum!
Times change, circumstances change!
At this point, more and more gamblers left the casino, leaving only a few very daring ones who remained.
Shen Hong, with a strange smile on his face, walked directly towards Gao Jianfei.
Chen Yaohui's dozen or so henchmen were on high alert, fearing that Shen Hong might take aggressive actions if he got close to Gao Jianfei. Chen Yaohui also increased his vigilance.
Gao Jianfei smiled calmly, "No problem." He went straight to meet him.
Gao Jianfei and Shen Hong faced each other, and both extended their hands to shake hands in tacit agreement, appearing polite and refined. However, a strong fighting spirit throbbed in their eyes!
"Shen Hong," Shen Hong said with a faint smile, "you must be Xiao Gao."
“I don’t want to hide anything. I haven’t intended to hide anything since I stepped into this casino. Yes, Gao Jianfei.” Gao Jianfei smiled gently.
"You've been making quite a splash lately." Suddenly, a flame of jealousy flared in Shen Hong's eyes. "Indeed, you've achieved fame at a young age, are in your prime, and are showing your full potential!"
In fact, Shen Hong was an extremely narrow-minded person. He only felt he had the capital to compete for status and fame in the gambling world after he turned 30, while Gao Jianfei was only 22!
envy!
From the moment he first saw Gao Jianfei, he vowed... he must defeat this man!
“You came here for this casino, and my mission is to protect it,” Shen Hong shrugged. “This means that we are destined to have a showdown.”
Both of them withdrew their hands.
Gao Jianfei took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and started smoking. "How do you want to play?"
"World Gambling Championship!" Shen Hong said, emphasizing each word. "I want to challenge you! A proper competition! We can go all out!"
World Gambling Skills Ranking Tournament!
This is a brutal form of competition in the gambling world!
You can gamble with money, status, or even your body.
Gamble with your life!
"Oh?" Gao Jianfei looked at Shen Hong with great interest.
“I’m a very pragmatic person. I want to climb the ladder, and you are a good stepping stone,” Shen Hong said sincerely.
"What right do you have to issue a challenge?" Chen Yaohui retorted directly. "I, Xiao Gao, the gambling king of Dongxing, am ranked 51st in the world! I've checked, and your world ranking is only 81st. You want to challenge Xiao Gao... are you worthy?"
Generally speaking, if two gambling experts are ranked 20 places apart, the one with the lower ranking wants to challenge the one with the higher ranking, but the one with the higher ranking can refuse.
Shen Hong glared at Chen Yaohui with sharp eyes, "Shut up! You're not one of us, shut up!"
Chen Yaohui was furious. Gao Jianfei waved his hand at Chen Yaohui, then said to Shen Hong, "It seems you really want to be famous. So, tell me, if I agree to compete with you, can I set the stakes?"
"The bet, we'll negotiate it ourselves!" Shen Hong's eyes were burning with fervor.
Gao Jianfei gestured towards the nervous-looking Sister Hong upstairs, "This casino belongs to her. Is your bet valid?"
"Her? She has no ability to save her casino! If it weren't for Uncle Yao asking me to help her, she would have nothing after tonight! She has no right to speak! None!" At this moment, Shen Hong seemed slightly deranged!
The world's 51st ranked player, Koga, is right in front of him!
Fame and fortune are both at my fingertips!
Within reach!
Shen Hong had been hiding his identity for several years, honing his gambling skills, all for this day!
"You!" Hongjie was so angry when she heard Shen Hong's words that she stood up and gritted her teeth, but she really couldn't find any words to refute him.
“Okay! I accept your challenge. My wager is Sister Hong’s casino and 300 million in cash!” Gao Jianfei said directly.
“No problem! We’ll bet on Sister Hong’s casino, on the one in Dongxing. Plus 300 million in cash.” Shen Hong quickly nodded. “However, that stake is clearly not exciting enough! I’ll add one more thing… our lives! Ha! A life-or-death bet!”
Shen Hong was extremely confident in his gambling skills. He was certain he could defeat Gao Jianfei. Moreover, betting his life was a rare occurrence in the world gambling rankings. If he could defeat Gao Jianfei, he would become famous in the gambling world! Famous!
Just like when Gao Jianfei won Wu Youcun's hands.
Gambling with one's life is clearly more intimidating than gambling with one's hands!
"It seems you're the kind of person who'll stop at nothing to achieve your goals. You're someone who'll gamble everything." Gao Jianfei smiled helplessly. "Gamble with my life? Have you thought it through?"
“I had no choice,” Shen Hong said, his voice trembling. “Ever since I stepped into the gambling world, I’ve had no choice! I only have two paths before me: first, success and wealth; second, death!”
Gao Jianfei stared at this extremely abnormal and crazy gambler, this real gambler, and said, "K, I agree to your request."
Shen Hong said, "Okay, I'll immediately notify the staff of the World Gambling Association's D branch to come over and apply for the world ranking competition on our behalf. Also, you can notify the Song family, the referee family. I know you have a good relationship with the Song family. Haha, I want the world's number one referee family to personally officiate this match, my match that will make me famous!"
