Chapter 1016: Chapter 61 Temptation, Temptation_3
Although Ah Dai did not attack, the energy of the young girl was still nullified by him, and she couldn’t help but turn pale, staggering a step sideways, her face changing dramatically. She couldn’t understand how Ah Dai’s martial spirit could be so strong that, even in such a disadvantageous situation, he was able to dissolve her sneak attack. Ah Dai glared at her, looking at the girl coldly, but he could not say anything for the moment, as he himself had also cheated by using his martial spirit to change the direction of the wooden ball. Her surprised demeanor softened his heart, and he frowned, shifting his gaze to the croupier behind the roulette wheel.
Yan Shi had no idea of the danger Ah Dai had just faced. Amidst cheers from the other two gamblers, he said to the pale-faced croupier, "Pay up. That’s a total of one million eight hundred and seventy-five thousand Gold Coins."
The croupier cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "I’m sorry, I don’t have that many chips here. Please wait a moment, I’ll go and get them."
Yan Shi inwardly praised him, noticing that despite losing so much money, the croupier still managed not to panic. Although he went to seek help, he showed no intention of refusing to pay. The croupier quickly left. Ah Dai was still glaring at the girl beside him. She no longer had the seductive look from before; her complexion suddenly became extremely cold, and a chilling light flashed in her eyes as she stared back at Ah Dai without relaxation. Ah Dai suddenly felt that the girl, with her austere face, was much more adorable than the coquettish one from before, and with a soft heart, he sighed lightly but still said nothing.
The girl was constantly annoyed with herself for her impulsiveness. Her mission was not to influence Ah Dai, but when she felt the energy fluctuations emitting from Ah Dai, she was taken by the idea of testing his power. However, her rash action failed, and Ah Dai might even become wary of her. She had thought Ah Dai would surely be distracted by her influence and was prepared to defend against his attack at any moment. Ah Dai, though, merely glared at her and did not take any further action, as if nothing had just happened. What shocked her the most was that after seeing her return to her usual demeanor, a hint of admiration flashed in Ah Dai’s eyes, without his previous rejection. She subconsciously thought, could it be that me, cold as ice, is more lovable than the masked me?
The croupier finally came running back, accompanied by Jin Bo. Jin Bo did not seem to be nervous about the croupier losing so much money. Behind him, a burly man held a large tray with stacks of dark red chips neatly piled up, seemingly about two hundred in total.
"Gentlemen, I didn’t expect to meet you so soon again. It turns out you are all masters of the gambling world—I was truly disrespectful before. These are the chips you’ve won, and you can exchange them for cash at our Dark Grandeur Casino at any time. Please accept them." With that, he motioned to the burly man behind him to pass the tray forward.
Ah Dai took the tray and was amazed to find that the chips were all worth ten thousand Gold Coins each, and even more surprisingly, the dark red chips were made of Red Crystal. With so many pure dark red crystals, their value was extremely high. It seemed that the strength hidden within the Dark Grandeur Casino was indeed astonishing!
Yan Shi moved closer to Ah Dai. Unaware of the earlier incident between Ah Dai and the girl, his attention was solely on Jin Bo. He smiled faintly and said, "Today’s luck really isn’t bad, hitting the single number twice in a row. Many thanks to Brother Jin for his good words earlier! Brother Jin, I wonder if I bet all this money on the single number again, would your Dark Grandeur still be able to cover the bet?"
Jin Bo’s expression changed slightly, and he smiled unnaturally, "Of course, we can cover it, but you gentlemen are no longer suitable to play here anymore."
Yan Shi’s expression darkened as he asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Jin Bo suddenly became composed, smiling and saying, "Don’t misunderstand, sir. What I mean is that with your current assets, plus having the esteemed identity of a Mage, you are fully qualified to move to the third floor for better treatment. There, you will receive the best hospitality."
Yan Shi and Ah Dai exchanged glances and said, "Good, we’ve long heard that your casino’s third floor is a paradise on earth. This will be a good opportunity to see for ourselves. Please lead the way, Brother Jin."
Jin Bo glanced briefly at the girl next to Ah Dai from the corner of his eye, then turned and made a leading gesture, heading the way. The three young girls followed behind Ah Dai and the others, quickly leaving the Wealthy Hall. Just as they were about to ascend the stairs, Yan Li realized that Xiao Mei, the lovely girl he had "cherished" for so long, wasn’t following them, and couldn’t help asking, "What’s this, aren’t they coming up with us?"
Jin Bo forced a smile and said, "They are the attendants of the Wealthy Hall; the Noble Hall upstairs will have even better attendants, a cut above these. Rest assured, in the Noble Hall, you gentlemen will certainly receive the best treatment. Please, this way."
"Wait a moment," Ah Dai suddenly called out to Jin Bo. Jin Bo was taken aback and asked, "Sir, is there something else?"
Ah Dai nodded and said, "I don’t want any other attendants, just let her accompany me." He said this while pointing at the girl who had just tried to sneak attack him. He was very curious about this girl. When she was entangling him with a seductive look, he hadn’t realized that she was a master of martial arts. After her sneak attack, she had turned into an ice mountain, and Ah Dai didn’t understand why he wanted to keep her with him. It was just that in her clear eyes, he sensed an air of sadness and resentment.
