"Wang Chao?"
Shen Bing, originally filled with despair, her heart pounding like thunder, her palms sweaty, felt as if she were trapped in the gates of hell, unable to see a way out.
Wang Chao's voice was like a dawn breaking through the darkness, filling her with ecstasy.
She quickly turned her head to look towards the eastern gate.
Pei Buji, Yun Feihe, Liu Xiangqing, Joseph, and others also looked in that direction.
At the entrance, Wang Chao stood tall like a mountain, his eyes sharp as a sword.
He had taken off the clothes of a mercenary, reverting back to his previous appearance, relaxed and at ease.
"Your Highness!"
Zhou Xinghe was now standing behind one of the mercenaries, preparing to strike at him. When he saw Wang Chao, his eyes filled with joy.
With Wang Chao here, everything would be fine.
"Wang Chao, you're finally back." Shen Bing stood up, looking at Wang Chao, and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Who?"
"Don't move!"
After seeing Wang Chao's arrival, the mercenaries at the gate finally reacted and quickly aimed their guns at him.
Everyone's gaze became serious, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Pei Buji and Yun Feihe also had solemn expressions.
All the entrances and exits were guarded, yet Wang Chao had managed to come in without making a sound. This indicated that the people outside had been silently taken care of by Wang Chao.
"So many guns. Didn't your boss say he wanted to have a good time with us? You're so eager to kill me already? Do you not regard your boss Pei highly?" Wang Chao said calmly.
As he spoke, he waved at Pei Buji, "You must be Pei Buji, right? How about it, don't you want to have a little fun with me?"
Pei Buji furrowed his brows slightly and signaled to the sword-wielding warrior standing at the eastern gate.
The sword-wielding warrior immediately understood and quickly rushed out of the eastern gate to check the situation outside.
Upon seeing the scene outside, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he stood there in shock, completely dumbfounded.
On the corridors and decks of the ship outside, corpses were scattered everywhere.
All the mercenaries were lying on the ground, devoid of breath and heartbeat.
What's even more terrifying is that those people didn't have a drop of blood on them, and their eyes were wide open in terror before they died, as if they had witnessed something unimaginably horrifying.
Moreover, they died without making a sound, indicating that they must have encountered some terrifying entity right before their deaths.
But how did Wang Chao silently kill so many people?
The sword-wielding warrior swallowed hard, turned his head to look at Wang Chao's figure, his eyes filled with horror.
He couldn't even accomplish such methods himself.
"Don't just stand there stupidly, what's happening outside?" Yun Feihe reprimanded.
The sword-wielding warrior shook his head when facing Yun Feihe and Pei Buji.
Pei Buji and Yun Feihe's expressions changed.
Everyone outside was gone?
"Boss Pei, everyone outside is dead," Yun Feihe whispered.
As he spoke, he made a throat-slitting gesture, his eyes filled with darkness and killing intent.
They had set up so many experts outside, but they were all killed by Wang Chao.
He instinctively felt that Wang Chao was extremely powerful and not to be underestimated, making him feel wary.
His intuition told him that they had to kill this man, or else they would all be in danger.
"It's alright, proceed with the plan!"
Pei Buji still had a smile on his face as he looked at Wang Chao, his eyes filled with confidence. "Since this brother wants to play, then let's play."
With his words, the mercenaries looked at each other but had no choice but to holster their guns.
However, their gazes towards Wang Chao remained vigilant and filled with killing intent.
Wang Chao walked to Shen Bing's side, took the cards from her hand, and smiled. "President Shen, let me open these cards for you."
"Okay, you go ahead."
Shen Bing looked at the side profile of Wang Chao, and her panicked emotions calmed down. She immediately made way for him and handed the cards to Wang Chao.
With Wang Chao by her side, all her fear, nervousness, and insecurity disappeared.
In their place was a unique sense of peace!
Wang Chao was her pillar of support and her sense of security!
However, when she handed the cards to Wang Chao, she couldn't help but take a curious glance.
And with that glance, she broke out in a cold sweat once again.
The card in her hand is a 10!
With an 8 and a 10, the total is 18.
However, Pei Buji and Yun Feihe both have 20 points. If she doesn't draw another card, she will definitely lose!
Even if she draws another card, the chances of winning against them are very low.
"When did they switch the cards?" Shen Bing's thoughts raced.
From the beginning to the end, the deck of cards was always in her hands, and Pei Buji and Yun Feihe did not touch them again. Why did the cards she arranged change?
Wang Chao remained calm, patting Shen Bing's shoulder and speaking in a low voice, "You lack experience. You've been played."
"You can't win this round of cards."
"Why? Is it a problem with my skills?" Shen Bing asked softly.
"It has nothing to do with your skills. The cards have been tampered with. You haven't dealt with some swindlers before, so you are easily deceived."
Wang Chao sat down and placed two cards in the middle of the gambling table, looking at Pei Buji and Yun Feihe. "You two only have twenty points. It's not yet twenty-one, and you think you've already won. Are you ready to reveal your cards?"
"Stop the nonsense and reveal the cards!" Yun Feihe exclaimed angrily.
Wang Chao didn't even look at Yun Feihe, his gaze fixed on Pei Buji. "Mr. Pei, your subordinate seems a bit hot-tempered."
"That's just his personality. I can not control him. Actually, I'm quite curious about your hole card," Pei Buji uttered with a smile.
"If you desire to see my hole card, there will be a price."
"What price?"
"Your life!"
Wang Chao stared at Pei Buji with icy eyes. "Before revealing the cards, let's add another wager. If I win, your life will be mine."
"And if I lose, my life will be yours."
"Damn it, who do you think you are? Just a measly bodyguard, not even worthy of shining our boss Pei's shoes, and you dare to gamble your life with our boss?" Yun Feihe sneered.
Wang Chao coldly smiled.
He flipped over the 8, presenting it in front of everyone.
Then, with a flick of his wrist, the playing card shot towards Pei Buji and Yun Feihe.
The card was like a knife!
The killing intent soared!
Its speed was as fast as lightning!
"Seeking death!"
Yun Feihe's gaze turned icy as he drew his fight sword and fiercely struck at the playing card.
Clang!
The sound of clash between metal and gold resonated as Yun Feihe's sword broke into two pieces.
"What... what?" Yun Feihe's pupils contracted intensely, his face filled with disbelief.
The playing card lost no momentum and continued to be as fast as lightning, rushing towards Yun Feihe's face.
Yun Feihe's expression drastically changed as he hurriedly tried to dodge.
Plop!
The playing card flashed like cold electricity, leaving a bloody wound on Yun Feihe's forehead before embedding itself in the wall behind him.
Only a small portion with the number 8 remained exposed.
Yun Feihe sat in his chair, his forehead split open, a gruesome and bloodied gash, a horrifying sight.
Blood streamed down his face, giving him a more ferocious and terrifying appearance.
He looked at Wang Chao with a terrified expression in his eyes.
If he had reacted a moment slower just now, his head would likely have been cut in half.
Pei Buji's smiling face froze, replaced with an extremely grave and focused gaze fixed on Wang Chao. He whispered, "Seven-star-level War God?"
Everyone present gasped in astonishment, their mouths wide open, dumbfounded.
When a master makes a move, one can roughly gauge their true strength.
Just a seemingly ordinary flying card in Wang Chao's hands displayed such terrifying lethality—absolutely horrifying!
Wang Chao remained calm, saying indifferently, "Mr. Pei, do you now think my life is valuable?"
