Upon hearing Pei Buji's words, everyone present became tense.
Playing a game?
This was a deadly game!
At this moment, everyone knew that Pei Buji was definitely not as amiable and kind as he appeared. He was a person with a smiling face but malicious intentions, someone impossible to fathom.
Anything he said was certainly not sincere, and anyone who believed him would be a fool.
Pei Buji's gaze swept across everyone present and he smiled, "I'll give you a chance. Who wants to come out and play a game of blackjack with me?"
With these words, he walked over to a gambling table and sat down, ready to begin.
Yun Feihe also approached and stood behind Pei Buji, looking excited.
Everyone present exchanged glances, feeling fearful and uneasy. They all remained silent, and no one dared to be the first to participate in this deadly game.
"Hey, what's wrong with you bastards? Weren't you all having a good time just now? Why is no one playing now? You look down on my big brother, is that it?" Yun Feihe angrily shouted.
The crowd fell even more silent.
At this point, no one wanted to be the first to be killed.
After all, they were all wealthy individuals who valued their lives greatly.
Pei Buji and Yun Feihe were clearly ruthless and terrifying criminals. If they played along, even if they didn't die, they would lose a significant part of their lives.
"So, no one wants to come out, huh? Fine, I happen to have a list here, and we'll play by calling out names."
"After all, on this vast open sea, ordinary security firms and mercenaries won't be able to find us in a short period of time."
"We have plenty of time to have fun."
Pei Buji's smile was full of excitement as he took out a list and carefully examined it.
As the crowd saw this, their expressions darkened, and their mood became incredibly gloomy.
If there was a list, then none of them would be able to escape.
Pei Buji glanced at the list and revealed a sinister smile, "This name is interesting. It shares my surname, but different characters. You must be the richest man from Malaysia, Pei Butong."
"Come on, Brother Pei, step forward."
As he spoke, he looked at everyone in the casino and said, "Not only do we have a list, but we also have photos. Brother Pei, you can not escape. Stand up obediently."
His voice was soft, but it clearly reached the ears of every person present.
In the crowd, a sixty-year-old man stood up, his eyes filled with fear, trembling slightly.
He wore gold-rimmed glasses, had fair skin, and dressed elegantly, exuding an air of superiority.
Despite nearing sixty years of age, his face was rosy, hair jet-black, and he seemed particularly spirited due to medication and traditional Chinese medical care.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with fear, and his body trembled with fear.
"Pei Butong, come, come, come, sit down," Pei Buji smiled.
Pei Butong's eyes were filled with fear, and his legs were shaking uncontrollably, making it impossible for him to move.
"What a useless person!"
Yun Feihe walked over, grabbed Pei Butong, and lifted him up as if he were catching a chick. He then placed Pei Butong in front of Pei Buji at the gambling table.
"Brother Pei, since we have two characters in our names that are the same, it means we were from the same family five hundred years ago."
Pei Buji took out a deck of playing cards and placed them on the table, pushing them towards Pei Butong, saying, "Since we're all family, let's play a game of blackjack. You'll be the dealer."
"Now, it's your turn to deal the cards."
"Brother, since we're all family, let's talk nicely. Whatever amount of money you want, I'll give it all to you. Please don't kill me, okay?" Pei Butong trembled as he spoke.
"That won't do. Even though we're family, rules are rules. We still have to follow the rules. If I take your money like that, won't we become robbers?" Pei Buji calmly smiled and said, "So, we must play through the gambling table to decide the flow of wealth, right?"
Bang!
Yun Feihe slammed his palm on the gambling table and scolded, "Stop the nonsense! Our Boss Pei wants to play with you because he respects you. Deal the cards immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Hurry up!"
His voice thundered, shaking Pei Butong to the core.
Pei Butong dared not say anything else and quickly began shuffling and dealing the cards, giving cards to Pei Buji and himself.
Pei Buji didn't look at his cards and said, "Since you're older, I'll address you as Big Brother Pei. We made a deal. If you lose, your assets will be mine."
"If I win, will you really let me go?" Pei Butong asked.
"Of course, I keep my word," Pei Buji nodded.
Pei Butong was overjoyed.
With these words, he still had a glimmer of hope.
After finishing dealing the cards, he picked up the two playing cards. They felt as heavy as Mount Tai, and his hands trembled as he held them. He was filled with anxiety, his heart pounding like thunder.
His sweaty hands were trembling nervously, and his heart felt like it would burst out of his chest.
"It has to be a good hand!"
Pei Butong prayed in his heart, then clenched his teeth and looked at the cards.
As soon as he saw them, his eyes widened, and he burst into laughter, slamming the two cards onto the gambling table in excitement, "Hahaha, I won, I won!"
Everyone looked over, and his cards were an Ace and a King, a typical blackjack hand.
Moreover, he was the dealer, so he won this round!
Pei Buji glanced at Pei Butong's cards and didn't even bother to look at his own. He clapped his hands and laughed, saying, "Congratulations, you won."
"So, can I go now?" Pei Butong looked at Pei Buji, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Yes, men, make way for Mr. Pei!" Pei Buji said.
As he spoke, the mercenaries guarding the main entrance started clearing a path.
"Thank you, Mr. Pei, thank you, Mr. Pei."
Pei Butong was overjoyed and immediately rushed out.
However, just as he reached the door, Yun Feihe suddenly pulled out a pistol, aimed it at the back of Pei Butong's head, and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and his head immediately exploded, blood splattering everywhere. He fell to the ground, dead.
Even in death, his eyes remained wide open, unable to believe how he had met his end.
"Brother Pei, I apologize. I promised to let you go, but my brother Yun didn't make that promise," Pei Buji chuckled.
Joseph, Liu Xiangqing, and the others witnessed this scene, feeling utterly hopeless.
At this point, they could not fathom Pei Buji's intentions.
If this person wanted money, he would not have killed Pei Butong because that would prevent them from getting his assets.
Yet, Pei Buji still had the Malay tycoon killed.
What exactly did they desire to achieve?
At that moment, everyone looked at Pei Buji's eyes differently, sensing that this person was unfathomable and unpredictable.
"Well, let's continue with the roll call," Pei Buji uttered calmly, waving his hand for others to remove Pei Butong's body. He then picked up the list and said, "Okay, next up, please welcome Ms. Shen Bing!"
