Chapter 101: The God of Gambling's Hegemony
Bors rushed in first, pushing aside the people blocking his way, and walked directly to the front of Cheng Zihang, staring coldly at Jack.
Cheng Zihan didn't look at Bors, her eyes were always on the young man behind him.
Compared to five years ago, he seems to have matured a lot. His face is no longer as tender as it was back then. His originally pale complexion has turned into a healthy wheat color. Wearing all white clothes makes him look like he's not of this world.
His mouth was slightly curved with a faint smile, standing there as if he were a fine jade, emitting a warm aura.
Han Yi's appearance here this time is a beautiful coincidence, Han Wei went back and told him that Benjamin's people were going to make a move on Cheng Ziheng, he listened to Han Wei's description and felt that the young man in his mouth had some similarities with Cheng Ziheng, with doubts in his heart, he rushed over with Han Wei.
Just arrived downstairs, met Bors, Bors had a few dealings with Han Yi, so the two greeted each other, and Han Yi followed him up directly.
As soon as he entered, when he saw Cheng Zihan, the unfamiliar face made him a little disappointed. In these five years, he had traveled all over the world, just wanting to find Cheng Zihan, but unfortunately, he spent five years and almost walked through every major city in the world, yet still didn't see Cheng Zihan.
The young man in front of him looked unfamiliar, but he had a faint sense of familiarity. Han Yi didn't leave or enter the room, he just stood at the door, with his arms crossed and his eyes slanted, looking at the situation inside.
"Jack, what do you mean?" Bors stared at Jack, not backing down one bit. Although Benjamin's power was among the top in Las Vegas, this place near the Golden Casino was tacitly considered to be under Bors' jurisdiction. Moreover, the Venetian Hotel originally had its own forces for protection; otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to survive so well in a place teeming with casinos.
This time, however, no one from the Venice Hotel side showed up, presumably to sit back and watch the fight, observing with a cold eye.
Cheng Zihan withdrew her gaze from Han Yi's body and returned to her usual carefree and leisurely demeanor, sitting there, picking up the tea that had already gone cold on one side, taking a light sip, and then putting it down.
The cat jumped onto Cheng Zihans lap and found a comfortable spot before lying down.
Cheng Zihan gently stroked the cat-like creature on her thigh, casting a sideways cold glance at Jack.
Jack obviously didn't expect Bors to show up in person, as Jack is younger than Bors, who is of the same generation as Benjamin, after all they are both big brothers.
"Mr. Bors, I don't know if this is your place, but this kid has been cheating in our casino, and I was just sent to bring him back." Jack was taken aback for a moment before quickly reacting, his improvisational skills were quite good.
Cheng Zihan smiled coldly and continued playing with the cat on her thigh, showing no intention of responding to Jack's words.
Boers' face suddenly changed, saying that Cheng Zihang was an old swindler, which is the greatest insult to a gambler, especially for a master of gambling like Cheng Zihang, it's a great shame!
Even if Cheng Zihan can tolerate being ignored, now Cheng Zihan is going to represent their casino to participate in the future God of Gamblers tournament. If it gets out that the person sent by their Golden Casino is actually a cheater, that would be a **slap in the face!
Boers took a deep breath, then looked at Jack coldly and sarcastically asked: "What did you just say? You actually said my noble guest is a swindler? You must apologize now, otherwise, don't think about walking out of this door!"
Cheng Zihan saw Bors's performance and smiled with satisfaction, lowering his head to poke the cat uncle's neck with his finger.
The cat uncle closed his eyes in enjoyment and stretched out on top of Cheng Zihans thigh, letting Cheng Zihan do whatever she wanted to him.
Today's events made it clear that Cheng Zihan was not going to personally take action, but rather wanted to see how Bors would perform and to what extent he could protect himself.
For now, his reaction is still okay.
"YOU!" Jack's anger flared up, never expecting that Bors would risk falling out with Benjamin just to protect Cheng Zihuan.
He really couldn't understand why Cheng Zihan was able to win money at the Flamingo Casino this time, it was purely an accident, just a stroke of good luck, and had nothing to do with her gambling skills. What's wrong with Bors, is his brain kicked by a donkey or something, that he would actually try to protect her like this?
"Mr. Bors! Are you going against our boss?" Jack took a deep breath before saying coldly.
Boers sneered, "Sorry, she's my person. I can't let her make a slight mistake in my place. You, apologize immediately and leave! What you just said is absolutely a personal insult to my friend!"
Jack's mouth twitched, just wanting to refute Bors' words, when Cheng Zihan suddenly stood up, pointing at Jack and saying coldly: "Hmph! Your rotten bird casino can't afford to lose, so you close the door and that's it? You think winning money is cheating? You're the one who's cheating, your whole family is cheating! Get them all out of here!"
Cheng Zihan showed her might. As soon as she finished speaking, Bors didn't hesitate and directly took action, sending Jack and the others flying out.
Han Yi, standing at the door, saw Cheng Zihan suddenly burst into anger, and some familiar glows flashed in his mind. It seemed that at some point in time, Cheng Zihan had also tried to drive away people who came to make trouble with such a majestic and overbearing attitude.
That inexplicable sense of familiarity caused Han Yi's heart to thump excitedly.
However, he had been fighting earlier and naturally wanted to find a place to dodge. He dodged directly into the bathroom next door and closed the door, ignoring the commotion outside.
Bor's numerical advantage was obvious, and since they were in the Venice Hotel, if a big fight broke out and anything was damaged, the owner would not let them off easily. Jack had his reservations, so he couldn't fight freely, and was at a disadvantage everywhere, ending up being beaten out of the place in disarray.
As soon as he stepped out of the room, Jack let out a loud "hiss" and was about to go back and discuss countermeasures with Benjamin.
Cheng Zihan's eyes narrowed fiercely, it seemed that this Benjamin was also about to meet his end.
Anyway, he died around this time in history, so let Cheng Zihang end his life.
With a faint smile, Cheng Zihan shifted his gaze to Bors in front of him. "This time I owe you one favor, and next time I'll return it to you. But what you promised me, not a single bit can be less. Alright, I'm tired and need some rest, you go back first."
Boers was overjoyed when he heard this, being able to get Cheng Zihang to owe him a personal favor was absolutely a great thing, and unexpectedly, he even got a big bargain out of it.
Bors thanked him and left the Venice Hotel with his men, but he still arranged for many people to secretly protect them. As soon as Benjamin's men appeared, they would take action immediately, and they had to ensure Chen Zihans safety.
After Bors left, Cheng Zihan glanced at the closed bathroom door and said coldly, "How long do you want to hide in my bathroom? Don't come out yet?"
Han Yi felt a bit embarrassed, opened the door and walked out, looking at Cheng Zihans somewhat shy scratching his head, this big boy always had this attitude towards girls, making Cheng Zihan smile.
"Come and sit down." Cheng Zihan pointed to the chair next to him and said to Han Yi.
Han Yi was somewhat surprised and delighted, hesitated for a moment before walking over to sit down next to Cheng Zihan, Han Yi still couldn't quite believe all of this was real.
Cheng Zihan looked at him and saw the playful interest in his eyes, so she directly stretched out her hand and hooked his chin, "What? Are you afraid that I'm lonely living here by myself, do you want to come keep me company? The weather in Las Vegas isn't cold, but sleeping alone at night is indeed a bit lonely. How about this, tonight I'll make an exception and let you stay over to roll around in the sheets with me?"
Han Yi jumped up at the words, his face flushing bright red, where was the elegant young master's demeanor just now?
Cheng Zihan looked at him covering his mouth and smiling secretly.
Han Yi also realized that he had been fooled. He stared at Cheng Zihang and asked cautiously, "Haven't we met somewhere before?"
Han Yi's cautious inquiry was motivated by a deep-seated fear that the answer might not be what he had hoped for, and would thus lead to his disappointment.
Cheng Zihan looked at him and smiled slightly, then suddenly stretched out her hand and touched her neck.
Han Yi took a look, thinking she wanted to do something, and hastily retreated several steps, still adorably covering her chest with both hands, that appearance again provoked a burst of giggles from Cheng Zihuan.
"Look at you, scared. Am I going to eat you up?" Cheng Zihan coquettishly glanced at him and asked with a smile.
Han Yi shook his head and said seriously: "Men and women should not be too familiar with each other."
Cheng Zihan burst out laughing again, probably because there's no one more old-fashioned than Han Yi in this world.
She helplessly tore off the skin on her face, revealing her true appearance, and stared at Han Yi, saying: "Take a closer look, who am I."
Han Yi was stunned the moment he saw Cheng Zihan's face, standing there like a wooden chicken, staring at Cheng Zihan, and couldn't say a word for half a day, his eyes seemed to be stuck with super glue, unable to move away.
Those eyebrows, those eyes, those lips, that one raised eyebrow and smile, all so familiar, familiar to the bone.
It's been five years and he thought he would never see the person again, but here she was, smiling and standing right in front of him. How could this not make him overjoyed?
He was so surprised that he forgot to react at all.
Cheng Zihan couldn't help but laugh at his appearance, and deliberately put on a serious face to look at him, coldly asking: "Do you want to see what time it is? Are your eyes going to move away from my face?"
Han Yi heard this and was taken aback, hastily withdrawing his gaze, with some surprise he looked at Cheng Zihuan and asked in astonishment: "Zihuan, are you really okay?"
"If I had something going on, how could I still be standing in front of you?" Cheng Zihan burst out laughing and gestured for Han Yi to sit down.
Han Yi was as obedient as a well-behaved pet, this young man who was aloof and distant to everyone in front of others, but in the face of Cheng Zihan, he remained the same as before, never changing.
Cheng Zihan looked at Han Yi, suddenly having a feeling of time disorder. She was touched, five years had passed, and the young boy who was once so green had also grown up. The current Han Yi was more handsome and elegant than before.
"It's great that I can see you again in this life." Han Yi was touched, looking at Cheng Zihuan, his eyes were slightly red.
Cheng Zihan patted his face with her hand, the warmth on his face, the familiar delicate touch, all made her nostalgic.
"I almost never got to see you guys again." Cheng Zihan lowered her head and smiled lightly, with a hint of relief and emotion in her tone.
If it wasn't for Xue Long arriving in time to protect her heart, she would have probably died on the spot and there wouldn't be a Cheng Zihuan today.
She now, because her body was severely damaged back then and died and reborn, instead gave her a great opportunity.
Before, she had many opportunities, and a lot of energy accumulated in her body. However, much of it remained stored inside without being fully absorbed. This time, her adventurous choice to self-destruct actually allowed her body's meridians to be rebuilt and widened, enabling them to hold even more energy.
Even if he really faced Lao Yan again, Cheng Zihan was confident and had the ability to escape. Of course, wanting to defeat that old monster was simply impossible.
Misfortune turns into blessing, it seems like this is indeed the case.
But that time was really thrilling, now thinking about it, she still has lingering fear, if given another chance, she would definitely not take such a risk again.
"At first, you chose to self-destruct, and we all thought you were dead. Your parents would often ask about your news, but we didn't dare tell them, only hiding it from them. But I'm sure they had their suspicions too. After that, no one ever mentioned you again. Do you know how worried and heartbroken we were when you suddenly appeared like this? The most heartbreaking thing is probably Uncle Gong. He aged a lot in an instant, thinking you were dead, he went white-haired overnight. Later, to fulfill his promise to you, he single-handedly took on all the responsibilities of Yu Jing Tai, now it's listed and has become one of the top real estate companies in the country. Since you're fine, why don't you come back and see us? Even if it's just a visit, let us be heartbroken no more." Han Yixi couldn't help but complain again after her initial joy.
Cheng Zihan sighed and slowly said, "It's not that I didn't want to go back and see you all, but at the time, I was seriously injured and almost died. I was in a coma for over three years before waking up, and after waking up, I needed a long time to recover. I couldn't even walk and could only slowly recover. For a very long time, I wanted to go back and see you all. But after that one experience, how dare I casually go back? So after leaving the Tree Spirit Space, I came directly to Las Vegas, and unexpectedly ran into you here."
Cheng Zihan spoke reminiscently of many things about her injuries, and Han Yi also told her one by one the things that happened after Cheng Zihan's accident. The two people talked for a long time, until the sky was completely dark before they stopped.
Thinking back to the past, Cheng Zihuan was still feeling emotional. Even if she had been reborn, her life experience was still too shallow. If she had experienced more things, she wouldn't have lived such an easy life all along. Since childhood, she hadn't encountered any setbacks, or at least she could handle many things well and wouldn't make a mess of them.
But having gone through this experience, she has gained a lot of wisdom this time around.
Cheng Zihan finally asked why Han Yi became the Southeast Asian god of gambling, but Han Yi always avoided talking about it, seemingly having some hidden story.
Han Yi didn't want to say anything, and Cheng Zihan didn't force him, so they skipped this topic directly.
Before she knew it, the sky had already darkened. Cheng Zihan stood up with Cat Uncle in her arms, "Alright, that's enough reminiscing for now. Let's go eat something first, I'm starving."
"Good." Han Yi also stood up, but looked at the black cat in Cheng Zihan's arms with some confusion. Just now, he felt strange too, this cat, he actually had a very familiar feeling.
"Zi Han, you this cat..."
Cheng Zihan looked down at the cat in her arms and smiled, "I picked up this cat when I just came out, it was already **in heat** on a big spring day, then it mated under someone else's building and almost got beaten to death by people chasing after it. I saw how pitiful it was, so I picked it up."
Cheng Zihan was speaking, the cat in her arms stretched out its sharp claws, looking like it wanted to scratch Cheng Zihan to death. The fierce appearance made Cheng Zihan feel a wave of comfort and relaxation in her heart.
Han Yi watched the interaction between the person and the cat, and couldn't help but laugh. His originally depressed mood also improved.
The two people left the room and didn't even bother to go out, so they just ate in the hotel's restaurant.
After eating and drinking enough, the two of them returned to their room together.
Looking at Han Yi who had been following behind her, Cheng Zihan couldn't help but tease: "Han Yi, what's going on? Are you really planning to come and keep me warm in bed tonight, stay over at my place?"
Han Yi's mouth twitched violently and two red clouds quickly flew up on his face.
"This hotel should still have rooms available?" Han Yi naturally couldn't stay in the same room as Cheng Zihan, not only because of their age difference - Han Yi was supposed to address Cheng Zihan as "Aunt" - but also because they were male and female, so it was impossible for them to share a room.
"It's all gone, don't you know that it's peak tourist season in Las Vegas now? Every day is fully booked, and I only managed to book this room because someone cancelled their reservation." Cheng Zihan spread out her hands, looking very helpless.
Han Yi furrowed his brow upon hearing this, seemingly somewhat conflicted.
Cheng Zihan likes to live in this hotel, outside the hotel is a clear river, at this time you can still see people playing on the river with boats, there are also water casinos, small boats, set up a gambling table, when idle and nothing to do, a few people gather together, can gamble a little. In addition to this, there are cruise ships, which are more upscale, generally private casinos, only people with special identities who receive invitations can get on the boat to play, but relatively speaking, there are fewer of these.
In the streets of Las Vegas, you can see slot machines everywhere. Slot machines are indeed the most widely used gambling device here, and they live up to their reputation.
Cheng Zihan's hotel room is on the sixth floor, from here you can see part of the night view. The night view of Las Vegas is very beautiful, neon lights adorn the dark night, giving people a sense of intoxication.
Han Yi was still entangled in the problem of where to sleep at night, and Cheng Ziheng had finished watching the scenery and returned. He was still sitting on the ground with his hands propping up his chin, thinking about this issue.
Looking at him, Cheng Zihan couldn't help but laugh and walked over to squat down in front of Han Yi. With her head tilted, she looked at his tightly furrowed eyebrows and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Are you planning on staying here and not leaving?"
Han Yi heard this and raised his head, but found that Cheng Zihan's face was just a few inches away, scaring him to fall backwards, directly landing on the ground with his four limbs in the air.
Cheng Zihan covered her mouth and smiled again, "Alright, there's an empty room next door. I booked it on a whim since I had nothing better to do. You can make do with resting there. However, don't forget to pay me the rent! It's $10,000 per night!"
Han Yi wiped away a cold sweat from his forehead and hastily nodded before making a swift exit out of Cheng Zihans room.
Coming out of Cheng Zihan's room, his heart still couldn't calm down, touching the violently beating heart, Han Yi was a bit dazed.
For more than twenty years, for the first time a girl made his heart skip a beat, but that person happened to be Cheng Zihuan.
Why did it have to be her?
Han Yi sighed, his heart full of worries.
After Han Yi left, the cat uncle who had been sleeping lazily in his blanket again poked his head out, gazing at Cheng Zihang with a lazy and disdainful expression, "Bad taste."
Cheng Zihan gave him a white eye, "What's wrong? Recently, you're not happy with me warming the bed for you, are you? Do you want me to find a mother cat and bring it back to breed?"
The fat tom cat's body shook violently as he was clearly intimidated by the mother cat, and he meekly retreated back into himself, but in his heart he let out a resentful roar.
Heavens! What have I done to deserve this?! Why did you give me a cat's body instead of a human soul?!
Such a roar, for five years, almost every day, Cat Uncle's classmates would repeat it once.
Cheng Zihan ignored him and went straight to take a bath with her pajamas.
After resting, it's another new day.
On the bustling streets of Las Vegas, Cheng Zihan had changed back into women's clothing. In this state, she wouldn't attract attention no matter where she went. The black cat that symbolized her identity had been ruthlessly abandoned and was now pitifully lying by the window in the hotel room, silently watching the back of Cheng Zihan as she strolled hand in hand with Han Yi.
"You've come to Las Vegas, also to participate in the recent God of Gamblers tournament, right?" Holding Han Yi's hand, Cheng Zihan had a faint smile on her face.
The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful; no matter how you looked at them, they seemed like a pair of golden boys and jade maidens who had walked out of a painting.
Both of them spoke in their native language, and people around only saw that they seemed to be talking, but neither could understand what the other was saying.
"Actually, I was going to, but if you're participating, then I won't go." Han Yi smiled, with a friendly face.
Cheng Zihan rolled her eyes and poked his forehead, "You're stupid, why didn't you participate? Of course, I did! It's a group competition later on, we won't meet until the final match. You should be more ruthless at first and win more money for me to come back stronger. I need a lot of money to make a comeback."
Han Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded vaguely, and didn't know if he had understood or not.
Cheng Zihan looked at him like this, and was really anxious. She hastily brainwashed him, "Han Yi, I'm telling you, now we're both poor people, very poor people with no money, no power, and no influence. If I rashly return to the Great Huaxia, I'll probably be hunted down by many people. The first person to come out and fight me to the death will definitely be the old demon of the Yan family. Think about it, I crippled him, cutting off one of his arms, an irreconcilable vendetta, just like a blood feud. As soon as my foot steps into the Great Huaxia's national gate, he'll probably immediately come after me with a gang of people to kill me. What do we do at this time?"
Han Yi's face turned serious as soon as he heard Cheng Zihan's words, "Let's go all out against him!"
Cheng Zihan almost fell over and patted his head again before saying seriously: "Stupid! Can you beat him?"
Han Yi shook his head honestly.
He found himself today towards Shang Chengzi Han, as if he had forgotten to bring his brain out.
"If we have enough money and a strong backing, do you think he would dare to move against us after weighing the pros and cons?" Cheng Zihan continued his brainwashing.
Han Yi nodded seriously, "I will."
"So our goal now is to make money from foreigners and then get them to sacrifice their lives for us, got it?"
Han Yi seemed to understand and yet not understand, but still nodded his head, "Understood."
"So now you know what to do?"
"Alright, I'll participate in the God of Gamblers tournament and win all the foreigners' money."
The child can be taught, and Chengzi smiled with satisfaction in his heart.
Han Yi looked at Cheng Zihan's smile and also revealed a satisfied smile.
He doesn't want much, as long as he can stand by her side and see her happy, that's enough.
After strolling around the streets of Las Vegas for a morning, Cheng Zihan and Han Yi directly returned to their hotel.
Cheng Zihan dressed up as a man again and parted ways with Han Yi to go make money from foreigners.
The money on the gambling table is the easiest to earn, and Cheng Zihang and Han Yi have special skills on their bodies.
Cheng Zihan's first target was naturally the Flamingo Casino.
But she is now the target, going directly will definitely be detected by the other party, so the final task of making money at the Flamingo Casino fell on Han Yi's head.
As for Cheng Zihan, he naturally had a more important task to accomplish.
What she had to do was go to Benjamin's lover's house right now and get rid of him!
Men are men, Benjamin is no exception. He has many mistresses and every day at a fixed time, he would go to a woman's house and indulge in romantic entanglements with her.
Cheng Zihan had already done his job beforehand, so after leaving the hotel, he rushed straight to Benjamin's mistress's house in the south.
It will take about two hours to get here, and it is estimated that when they arrive, they will have just reached the most critical part. This is the best time to strike, letting him die in the midst of extreme pleasure, which can also be considered a mercy for him.
Cheng Zihan took a taxi and headed straight for her destination.
Benjamin was very cautious and even when he went to his lover's house, he set up many sentries in the vicinity, just in case someone took advantage of the opportunity to assassinate him.
Unfortunately, he met Cheng Zihan.
Cheng Zihan walked over with a swagger, the black cat behind her baring its claws, while the guards around them seemed to have seen nothing and watched Cheng Zihan pass by with their eyes wide open.
After they entered the apartment, one of them suddenly asked the guy standing next to him, "Hey, did you just see something go in?"
The person next door also looked like he had just woken up from a dream, shook his head, nodded, and then said: "It seems like there wasn't, but it seems like there was, a cat walked by."
The two people looked at each other, both somewhat puzzled.
Cheng Zihan had by then successfully entered the apartment and found Benjamin's mistress' residence.
She wasn't fazed by the lock of this era, directly took out a bank card, inserted and twisted it, and the door creaked open.
Passionate voices came out from inside the house, listening to which made Cheng Zihans scalp tingle, and the black cat behind him seemed to have a somewhat strange expression, standing at the door but not entering.
Cheng Zihan held a modified small-caliber pistol in her hand and cautiously moved forward in the direction of the bedroom.
The door was slightly ajar, and Cheng Zihan gently pushed it open to see the two naked men and women on the bed. Benjamin was currently lying on top of his lover, his body constantly moving up and down. Cheng Zihan raised an eyebrow as she looked at him, this man's physique was well-maintained after all. But unfortunately, he would soon die under her gun.
Cheng Zihan pulled the trigger, aiming at Benjamin's back, and fired a shot. The loud gunshot echoed through the quiet apartment, accompanied by a woman's piercing scream.
Cheng Zihan furrowed her brow, indiscriminately killing the innocent wasn't her style. However, the opponent had seen her appearance and would eventually be a disaster. Moreover, this woman had followed Benjamin for so many years, and good people were limited. So Cheng Zihan didn't hesitate at all, aiming at the woman who was running wildly in the room, she fired one shot.
The woman let out a miserable cry, and the bullet hit her chest. She fell to the ground, convulsed twice, and then stopped breathing.
Cheng Zihan walked over, turned Benjamin's body over, made sure he wasn't breathing, and then, still uneasy, shot him in the forehead before wiping off the gun muzzle and turning to leave the apartment.
A fire broke out suddenly after she left.
When Cheng Zihang and Cat Uncle walked out of the apartment, the entire building had already fallen into a sea of flames.
Cheng Zihan turned back to look at the sea of flames. This time, even if Benjamin had a magical power that could reach the sky, he would still be dead without a doubt.
After settling Benjamin, Cheng Zihang directly took Cat Uncle out of the apartment with a swagger.
Several of Benjamin's men who were guarding outside had a bad feeling in their hearts as soon as they heard the gunshot, and when they saw the sea of fire, they rushed in.
Cheng Zihan didn't bother to deal with them and directly took Cat Uncle, hailed a taxi on the side of the road, and headed back to the Venice Hotel.
It was just an afternoon when Cheng Zihan arrived at the hotel, Han Yi had already returned, looking at his appearance, he should have made a big profit.
Cheng Zihan looked at him and playfully whistled, "Hey, handsome guy, do you want to have some fun together tonight?"
Han Yi's mouth twitched, and he gave Cheng Ziheng a white eye before hastily entering the hotel lobby.
Cheng Zihan followed him into the elevator, watching as Han Yi's elevator had already gone up ahead of her. She slowly walked over and pressed the button for another elevator to go upstairs.
Han Yi had a big harvest today, making a killing at the Flamingo Casino and winning a lot of money. He directly handed his bank card to Cheng Zihan, with a rich and arrogant attitude, making her want to rush over and hug him tightly to express her inner excitement.
"Korean Yi, how much did you win today?" Cheng Zihan asked curiously while fiddling with the black bank card in her hand.
Han Yi furrowed his brow and thought carefully, "Roughly, I won a hundred or so billion in one afternoon, not much money."
As soon as Han Yi's voice fell, Cheng Zihan suddenly spat it out. If outsiders knew that this local tyrant didn't take money seriously, they would probably be so angry that they would fart.
However, in a place like a casino, winning over 100 million in an afternoon doesn't seem like much.
There are many gamblers gathered in the casino, and it is estimated that a single casino can accommodate 1 million gamblers per day. If each person loses only $100,000, that would be $10 billion!
This is indeed a good place to make money, it seems that this time I have come to the right place.
Cheng Zihan smiled with satisfaction as she put away her card, a mischievous glint in her eye.
Han Yi glanced at Cheng Zihan before asking: "Where did you go this afternoon?"
He had just seen her get out of a taxi.
Cheng Zihan gave a mysterious smile and said, "I won't tell you, you'll know when you watch the news tonight."
Han Yi was curious in her heart, but Cheng Zihuan was unwilling to say it, and he could only wait anxiously for the evening news.
As soon as Benjamin's death news came out, Han Yi immediately guessed that it must be Cheng Zihan's doing.
This girl is really careless.
But it's good that Benjamin is dead, to avoid future trouble. Now that Benjamin is dead, he can openly take over the Flamingo Hotel and Casino.
As soon as the news of Benjamin's death came out, his subordinates would naturally be in a state of panic. This was exactly the time for him to make his move. With the reputation of being the Southeast Asian God of Gambling and his vast wealth, taking over the Flamingo Hotel would be an easy task.
But Han Yi doesn't plan to tell Cheng Zihan about this for the time being. The Flamingo Hotel and Casino, when the time comes, after Cheng Zihan becomes the World Gambling God, it will be given to her as a gift.
After reading the news and having dinner, Cheng Zihang went out for a run all day and was tired, so he rested early.
Han Yi went back and didn't rest, instead he immediately ordered his subordinates to arrange the acquisition of the Firebird Hotel and Casino.
Because Benjamin died without leaving a will, he was married and had a son, so when he died, the inheritance naturally belonged to his wife and son.
But Benjamin, when he was alive, relied on his wealth and power, and didn't know how many people he had offended. There were many who couldn't wait for him to die. Now that he's dead, the orphaned children and widow he left behind have become targets of everyone's attack, as everyone wants a share of the property in his name.
At this time, Han Yi took action to acquire the industries under his name. His wife was naturally eager to sell them off quickly, regardless of whether the price was fair or not, and directly sold them at a low price.
Han Yi took over the Flamingo Hotel and Casino, as well as some of Benjamin's other interests, but did not publicly reveal his own identity. Someone caught a glimpse of him from behind, and then reporters began to spread the news widely.
During the day, Cheng Zihan and Han Yi still went their separate ways because something had happened on the side of the flamingos, so they didn't go to gamble there anymore. The Golden Casino was now considered Cheng Zihan's own people, she wouldn't go to cheat her own people, so she changed places and continued to gamble heavily.
They had a casual lunch and didn't meet up again until they returned to the hotel together in the evening.
Dinner was eaten in the hotel room, Cheng Zihang ate while watching TV news.
When she saw the news that a mysterious person had acquired Benjamin's company at a low price, she couldn't help but shake her head and say: "I think this person is really ruthless, taking advantage of the situation to kick them while they're down. He must have an irreconcilable feud with Benjamin, otherwise why would he do such a thing to his widow and son? Han Yi, don't you think so?"
Han Yi was so embarrassed by Cheng Zihan's words that he almost lost his composure, and directly lowered his head without saying a word, silently attacking the beef in front of him.
Cheng Zihan looked up at him and saw that he didn't seem to want to talk, so she also stopped talking and quietly continued eating.
After finishing the meal, the hotel's room service staff came to take away all the tableware. Cheng Zihang suddenly picked up the elegant black cat that was strolling around in the room, hugged it in his arms and teased it for a while before stopping due to its angry meows, then threw it back onto the floor.
This month in Las Vegas is the time to make a fortune, Cheng Zihang and Han Yi separately enter various large casinos, winning away a large amount of money every day. Soon, all major media outlets in the United States are reporting that two gambling gods have appeared in the Las Vegas casino city, undefeated and invincible, with a huge amount of funds pouring into their pockets.
Many gamblers flocked to Las Vegas just to witness the skills of these two gambling gods.
Against everyone's expectations, both legendary gamblers were Asians and seemed to be from a small and unknown country called Dà Huá Xià.
But what's more, people with discerning eyes could see through Han Yi's background at a glance. The legendary gambler who rose to fame in just one short year and became a household name throughout Asia and even Southeast Asia - they were naturally no strangers to him.
Han Yi is a legend in the gambling world, he personally created an undefeated legend.
Another youth who looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old was a complete stranger to everyone, and nobody knew where he came from or what his background was.
As time goes by, the God of Gamblers Championship has also entered the countdown.
Cheng Zihan sat idly in the hotel room, holding a watermelon and scooping out its insides. Han Yi sat across from her, listlessly flipping through a travel magazine.
After this God of Gamblers contest, they will definitely leave Las Vegas, but where to go next has not been decided yet.
Cheng Zihan's intention is that now is the entrepreneurial stage, after the end of the competition, continue to stay in Las Vegas for a period of time, first gather some forces here and then go to other places.
But how could she possibly recruit the long-standing gang forces here?
So Han Yi holds a different view on this point.
His opinion was that it would be better to develop his own power rather than recruiting the chaotic dark forces here, and now the most able to gather talents is obviously the mercenary profession.
Now they have a lot of money on hand, and mercenaries are all about making money, but it's not impossible to cultivate loyal mercenaries. So what Han Yi means is that instead of wasting time trying to recruit the local gang here, it would be better to establish a mercenary alliance directly, which can gather top talents from all over the world, and they can also choose some for special training and development into their own strength.
Moreover, they can also establish specialized institutions for cultivating mercenaries and train absolutely loyal mercenaries.
Cheng Zihan hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Han Yi's proposal.
Han Yi's proposal was much more feasible than what she had initially thought, and indeed, as a child of militarized education, in this aspect, Cheng Zihuan had to admit that she couldn't compare with Han Yi.
After finally determining the direction of development, Cheng Zihan directly gave Han Yi an important task.
To develop a mercenary alliance, it is necessary to have a fixed base, and the choice of location is very critical.
In addition, if we are to cultivate our own people as Han Yi said, we must undergo a series of rigorous training. In that case, the place chosen must have harsh conditions that can temper people.
Cheng Zihan initially chose the Sahara Desert, guessing that there is no place in this world that can temper a person's willpower more than the Sahara Desert.
So now Han Yi is holding a travel magazine, starting to understand the situation on the other side of the Sahara Desert, and also preparing for future entry.
"Ding dong, ding dong." The doorbell broke the harmony in the house. Han Yi put down the magazine he was holding and glanced at Cheng Zihuan, who was sitting on a chair with her legs crossed, looking relaxed. When she heard the doorbell, she just smiled faintly and looked back at Han Yi.
"Should I go open the door?" Han Yi hesitated for a moment before asking.
Cheng Zihan nodded, "Of course we have to go, you hide first, it's Bors and them."
The God of Gamblers' contest is about to begin, and Bors naturally has concerns about the situation with Cheng Zihang. It's normal for him to come over and probe into military affairs at this time.
The God of Gamblers tournament has three days left, after which it will be divided into three competition zones. One of the zones is located inside the Golden Casino, where about 10,000 people are participating. The first round is a crazy knockout, directly eliminating 99% of the players, leaving only 100 people to advance to the next round.
According to the regulations of the competition, the first round adopted a game method using everyone's luck, and the organizing committee changed it according to the rules of everyone's luck game, and directly applied it to this competition.
The competition is divided into 500 groups, with 20 people competing each time. Each person gets a hand of cards and can call out bets infinitely. The last one whose points on the hand are infinitely close to 9 wins.
Only one person in each group will advance, with a single match determining the winner and minimizing the duration of the competition.
The casino has only 100 gaming tables, so 100 games can be played at a time. The final 500 people will then proceed to the second round of competition, and the top 100 winners will advance to the next round.
This match is naturally easy for both Cheng Zihang and Han Yi.
Han Yi's participating casino is not the Golden Casino, but the Four Queens Casino, and the rules there are also the same as the Golden Casino.
The first round of matches will last for three days. Even if they finish early, the next round cannot start until the fourth day.
Cheng Zihang and Han Yi both won with an overwhelming advantage, and they both ended the competition on the afternoon of the second day.
After the game is over, you can go back to your own residence to rest.
This match wasn't very interesting, and Cheng Zihan roughly understood the strength of her opponents. Among them, she also encountered many masters who were out of the ordinary, and some even had special abilities. However, these were all trivial matters to her, and naturally, she wouldn't take them seriously.
However, underestimating the enemy is the biggest taboo in the military, and Cheng Zihang will not underestimate these opponents. After the game was over, she went back to her hotel room to rest directly.
Han Yi then seriously watched every match, determined the strength of all opponents, and didn't return to the hotel until night.
After two people met, they roughly talked about the situation of the promoted candidates and then rested to nourish their energy.
The next day neither of them had a match, so they decided to dress up and go to the last casino to check out the situation.
The battle on that side is much more intense than the one between Cheng Zihan and Han Yi, with many more masters. It seems that the distribution of strength is also a big problem. No wonder they finished their match on the second day, while it's already the third day here and the competition is still going on fiercely.
But I guess it also has something to do with the number of participants in this competition venue.
The venue for the third match was chosen at the Royal Casino, which is the largest casino in all of Las Vegas and can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. This time, nearly 50,000 players participated in the competition, which is also estimated to be one of the reasons why the competition has not ended yet.
Moreover, many of the contestants have similar strengths, and in the end, only a bloody battle can be held to select the last one hundred people who will advance.
Choosing 100 people out of 50,000 is completely different from choosing 100 people out of 10,000.
The game here is expected to continue until late at night, and there are still around 7,000 to 8,000 people left, with most of them holding chips that are roughly the same amount.
Cheng Zihan and Han Yigang found a spot and stood on the platform to watch the competition below.
The Royal Casino was a circular building, somewhat similar in shape to the ancient Roman Colosseum. The ground floor was where the arena was located, while the upper floors were made up of small rooms. In order to ensure fairness in the competition, all matches were held in the large hall on the first floor. At this moment, Cheng Zihang and Han Yi were standing on the third-floor corridor, while the second-floor corridor was already packed with people. From upstairs, one could only see a sea of black heads.
From where Cheng Zihang is standing, the view is just right, and he can take in the entire situation on the court at a glance.
Cheng Zihang and Han Yi were extraordinary people to begin with, so their eyesight was naturally incomparable to that of ordinary people.
"This time, our strongest opponents should be the ones below. Their hearing, eyesight and perception are all very strong. You see that person over there hasn't." Cheng Zihan said, pointing to a middle-aged man wearing a black vest, with many gold ornaments on his body, a thick beard, and a mouthful of gold teeth, who was sitting at a gambling table below.
This man is Malaysia's gambling king, Lin Mugong. His eyes were born with the power of penetration, and it can be said that after so many years of gambling, he has never encountered a strong opponent. The champion of the previous Gambling God Contest was this person.
Lin Wutong is actually almost eighty years old this year, but he is also a Taoist practitioner who pays attention to physical maintenance in his daily life. Now that he is nearly eighty years old, he looks like he is only in his forties. He is skilled at gambling and can be considered the number one person in the gambling world.
Han Yi nodded, and for the Asian gambler, he was naturally more familiar than Cheng Ziheng, after all, he had been in the gambling world for a longer time.
"I've gambled with him before, he's indeed very strong, but still not my opponent." Han Yi glanced at the man below him with a faint gaze, his tone couldn't convey any sense of pride, as flat as if he was saying today's weather is good.
Cheng Zihan silently glanced at Han Yi, no matter how he was in front of her, but this man in front of others, was always a majestic and dazzling existence.
"Since he's not your opponent, then don't bother with him. The others aren't worth worrying about either." Cheng Zihan glanced casually at the people below again, and smiled as she spoke.
"No, there are two more people you need to pay attention to." Han Yi shook his head with a serious expression.
Cheng Zihan was somewhat surprised, even Lin Wutong had won, who else could make him afraid?
Noticing Cheng Zihan's confusion, Han Yi pointed to the oldest man at the far left corner of a gambling table. The old man looked like he was in his sixties or seventies, thin and dark-skinned, with skin tightly clinging to his body, looking more like a mummy.
Cheng Zihan searched in her mind for a moment, but there was no information about this person.
"Have you seen that person? This man, no one knows what his background is, and he rarely appears in front of many people, but he can't be underestimated. Perhaps the older generation may have some understanding of him, he is the so-called King of Kings, Zhou Xingxing." Han Yi introduced the thin and short man with a serious expression.
Cheng Zihan's forehead slid down a few black lines. Is that Zhou Xingxing? Truly an existence that destroys three views.
After introducing Zhou Xingxing, Han Yi pointed to a tall and handsome man in the corner on the right. The man looked like he was only in his thirties, with a charming and captivating appearance. His eyes seemed to have a mesmerizing magic that made it impossible for people to look away.
Cheng Zihan was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he knew that person was definitely not ordinary.
"This man is the Asian gambling king, no one knows his name, but wherever he goes, there will definitely be a bloody storm. It's said that fifty years ago, in a god of gamblers competition on Shanghai Beach, he finally won the championship, but afterwards, none of the participants returned, and the entire sky of Shanghai was stained red with blood, for three days and nights the bloody smell didn't disappear. After that, he disappeared without a trace, never to be seen again." Han Yi's brow furrowed as he spoke, seemingly not having a good impression of this person.
Cheng Zihan also furrowed her brow, looking at the person below with a face full of disdain. Can't tell from appearance that they look like a human being, but what they do is beastly.
She pouted and stopped looking.
Afterwards, Han Yi introduced her to several European and American gambling gods. Cheng Zihan could also see the special aspects of them, and it seemed that none of them were simple.
The tournament on the Royal Casino side ended at 10 pm, and a total of 109 players entered the second round.
The three-day event has finally come to an end. Tomorrow at 9:00 am, the second round of competition will be held at the Royal Casino, where group matches will take place. Ten players will compete in each room, with one player advancing from each room. Out of the remaining 309 players, 31 will advance to the final round of the Poker King Championship.
The second round of the game was more brutal than the first, with ten people in a group, whoever lost all their chips would be out, and the last one left at the table would be the winner.
Everyone's minimum chips must not be less than ten million, and additional chips cannot be added halfway, so it is necessary to prepare enough chips from the beginning in order to stay for the longest time.
This competition is not just a test of strength, but also a test of financial resources.
Cheng Zihan and Han Yi had only prepared 100 million chips, which was enough for them.
The game uses cash only and does not exchange for chips.
When entering the scene, Bor's subordinates handed over a box to Cheng Zihang, with one hundred million US dollars in cash, twenty boxes in total, which was quite impressive.
But Cheng Zihan entered the competition room and found that the money he had prepared was actually the least! The others had at least 40 or 50 boxes.
And their boxes are all twice as big as Cheng Zi Han's!
Bling bling!
Cheng Zihan seemed to have seen countless money growing wings and flying towards her.
After sitting down, Cheng Zihan roughly looked at the few people present and didn't recognize any of them, guessing that they hadn't met during the competition.
After sitting down in their own position, they started waiting for the game to begin.
At 9:00 sharp, the referee finally brought in a deck of cards and showed them to everyone. After explaining the rules again, they wasted another half hour before the competition finally began.
Cheng Zihan slowly sat down, looking at the dealer dealing cards to himself, and lazily picked up his cards to take a look. The bottom card looked pretty good, two Aces.
Others' chips were not as big as Cheng Zihans', so in the first round, Cheng Zihan was the first to bet.
Cheng Zihan thought for a moment, grabbed a bundle of money and threw it out, "One million."
She had just placed her bet when people around her looked at her with disdain.
It's all come down to the final match now, still playing around with tens of thousands, when can we make our opponents lose all their money?
The person sitting next to Cheng Zihan, almost as soon as Cheng Zihan had just placed his bet, immediately took out a large sum of money and threw it onto the table. "Kid, if you don't have any money at home, then don't come out and try to learn from others how to gamble big. I'm embarrassed to take your 100,000, let's raise it to 2 million!"
Cheng Zihan was speechless, thinking to herself, "Big brother, you're so kind to send me money, I have no reason to refuse, right?"
Others also nodded in agreement and added their comments one after another.
Cheng Zihan was speechless. She just didn't want them to lose too badly out of kindness, so if they were willing, she let them add more.
Cheng Zihan opened the box and took out two million US dollars, throwing them up. The dealer continued to deal the cards.
Cheng Zihan is a pair of A, and she continues to bet on it.
She had just grabbed a bundle of money ready to throw it away, when the person next door started speaking in a sarcastic tone, "Hey, I'm saying if you're going to keep playing like this with tens of thousands, then hurry up and admit defeat! Look at that little family property of yours, we'd really be embarrassed to let you go back empty-handed."
Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched slightly, and she silently glanced at the man before throwing a few more bundles of money down. "In that case, let's just make it 10 million then."
Everyone looked at him with disdain again.
Cheng Zihan didn't bother to respond, sitting with her arms around her, watching them place their bets. This round they added another 50 million, and Cheng Zihan could only helplessly add another 40 million.
The fourth card came down, Cheng Zihan held three aces, the man sitting next to her had a small sequence of plum blossoms, and two others looked at their cards estimated to be also flush, the rest were all pairs.
Cheng Zihan hooked her lips and smiled coldly, thinking for a moment before starting to bet.
"Five million." After throwing the money away, the cash on the table had already piled up into a small mountain. Cheng Zihan sneered in his heart, these idiots were really stupid enough, they liked to die so let them die cleanly.
Everyone else followed suit, and the last card was dealt. Cheng Zihan didn't even bother to look at it, directly throwing out all his remaining money. "I'm going all-in."
Others looked at each other in dismay, especially those holding the same suit as the card that was played. After some thought, they all followed suit. Since Cheng Zihans money was not as much as theirs, as long as everyone contributed the same amount of money, it would be fine, even if Cheng Zihan himself had gone bankrupt.
But those three strips were directly abandoned, even if they had four strips, they couldn't compare to Cheng Zihang's four strips, so they simply gave up.
Cheng Zihan smiled ambiguously at the followers, snapped her fingers at He Guan, "I want to go to the restroom, please seal the card first, and open it again when I come back."
During the competition, this requirement for contestants is still acceptable. The dealer brought over a crystal cover and covered up Cheng Zihang's tile. Others also requested to have their tiles covered before heading off to the restroom.
Cheng Zihan returned from the bathroom when those people hadn't come back yet. She sat there with her legs crossed, waiting.
In about five minutes, everyone came back and sat down.
"Come on, kid, don't waste everyone's time, deal the cards already." The man sitting next to Cheng Zihan looked confident.
What he held in his hand was a straight flush, although it wasn't the biggest one, but wanting to win against Cheng Zihans four of a kind was enough.
Cheng Zihan looked at him with a sarcastic smile, shrugged his shoulders, and let He Guan take away the crystal cover, then opened the card in front of everyone's expectant eyes.
Four Aces with a black jack of spades.
Seeing Cheng Zihan's card, the people with the card all smiled. In their view, Cheng Zihan was out of the game this time. She had already gone all-in, and according to the rules of the competition, losing everything meant being eliminated.
The man sitting next to Cheng Zihan let out a sly laugh, and under everyone's gaze, he revealed his hand, "Sorry about this, I have 5-6-7-8-9, all spades in sequential order."
After the man opened his card, he found that something was wrong with the situation in the room. Everyone looked at him with a silly face.
He was somewhat perplexed and looked down at his own card. At this glance, he was so angry that he almost fainted!
He flipped over the one that was supposed to be a plum blossom 9, but it's clearly just a black peach 9!
But he had just seen the bottom card was clearly a plum blossom 9, why did it suddenly change?
He suddenly stood up, "My Mingming is Plum Blossom 9, why did it become Black Peach 9? Someone must be cheating!"
As soon as the man's voice fell, the door was pushed open and several burly men walked in, directly putting a gun to his neck.
The official also smiled coldly, "Sir, please mind your actions, just now everyone saw clearly that no one touched your cards. Are you trying to tarnish the reputation of our royal casino?"
The man knew he was in the wrong and honestly didn't say anything else, having only to admit defeat.
Cheng Zihan simply played with her own fingers and smiled coldly.
The linesman warned the man and play continued.
Others also started showing their cards, and surprisingly, they were all straight flushes. The clear royal flush that was visible earlier had vanished into thin air during the time spent in the restroom.
Although everyone had some doubts in their hearts, they all just went out and there was only He Guan alone in the room. It couldn't be said that he swapped everyone's cards, so this dumb loss could only be borne by themselves.
In the first round of competition, Cheng Zihan won, and the prize money rose from 100 million to over 650 million.
But most of the money brought by people here is not a small amount, and even after this **bleeding**, there is still more than half of the money left, and the game continues.
Cheng Zihan smiled and looked at the person sitting next to her, her target for today had been determined, it was this annoying man. Judging from his appearance, he must have brought no less than 10 billion yuan with him. She would win all his money and let him see what it means to be wealthy but lacking in refinement, and what it means to hide one's true nature!
