Chapter Fifteen: Casino Melee
After playing for half a day, I've won and lost; the fun has been had, the thrill has been enjoyed, and it's time to leave. Suddenly, someone shouted loudly: "Cheater! The banker Ling San is cheating!" Why does this voice sound so familiar?
Hu Fei turned his head in surprise, and indeed, the one who had shouted was none other than Ci Dou San, who had come with him! "Old Three, you..." Hu Fei originally intended to stop Ci Dou San from shouting so disorderly.
Every casino has cheaters, but they are all secretly operating in the dark. Once a cheater is caught, he will be beaten to death or even lose his life! Therefore, it's easy to provoke strong reactions from others when accusing someone of cheating in a casino, let alone the casino owner himself.
Since it's a casino, security measures must be strict and there are many bouncers. All sorts of people come to gamble, and without sufficient armed protection, the casino can't operate. Whether true or not, exposing the casino owner's cheating in public is like declaring war on the entire casino! Hu Fei doesn't want to make a big scene in this casino at all now; he just wants to leave quickly and attend to his proper business.
Hu Fei wanted to end the matter peacefully and leave the casino quickly. However, what he thought in his heart was not the same as what others thought. After Pockmark Three let out a loud shout, he bent down, picked up a chair, and threw it at Ling San with a "whoosh"!
Ling San, the shopkeeper, was suddenly accused of being a cheater. He was stunned! It wasn't that he had never cheated before, nor was it because he was particularly honest. Ling San was puzzled. Usually, when encountering those so-called masters who were either lucky or skilled, they would all be defeated by his unpredictable cheating techniques. But today, he really hadn't cheated!
Hu Fei lost the last game, it was supposed to be lost, his luck had run out, and Hu Fei himself made a wrong bet! Ling San hadn't even had time to use his ultimate skill when he saw the outcome of the last game. The casino owner's eyesight is absolutely top-notch! When there were still 30 or 40 pieces left on the board, he could see whether it was an odd or even number. Since it was already a winning bet, Boss Ling naturally didn't need to cheat anymore.
Ling San felt wronged at the time, and suddenly felt a gust of evil wind. Instinctively, he quickly dodged to one side. In his ear, he heard a loud "Bang!" A solid wooden chair was smashed onto the gambling table.
The quality of the gambling table was good, and under this heavy blow, the surface was intact. However, the four legs supporting it below could not withstand this sudden force, "crack" one leg broke off. The good table lost its balance and immediately collapsed to one side. The Go pieces, dollars, banknotes and other betting chips on the table "scattered all over the floor".
The gamblers in the room saw the money scattered all over the floor and immediately became agitated. "Great, someone's cheating! This is my money!" The gambler who had lost money bent down to pick it up. Since someone was cheating, the money he had lost earlier didn't count, so he would first retrieve his own stake before doing anything else!
On this table, gamblers who were betting were busy trying to get back their bets. Those who weren't betting on this table also wanted to take advantage of the situation. Since money doesn't have a name on it, whoever picks it up gets to keep it! As a result, a scramble broke out in an instant!
As long as it's on the ground, everyone bends down to pick up the money, no one cares if the money is theirs or not, as long as they can get their hands on it, it's theirs.
Just now, a short gambler who was competing with Hu Fei for a seat grabbed a large denomination bill with his hand and suddenly felt delighted. He just wanted to take it back, but found that one corner of the bill was pressed under the leg of the chair. Half of the money couldn't be used, so he stretched out his hand to grab the leg of the chair and tried to lift it up to get the bill out completely. At this moment, another hand suddenly reached out from the side, grabbed the bill with force and pulled it back. "Whoosh", the bill was surprisingly intact in his hand.
"This is my money!" The short gambler's eyes saw his money being snatched away by someone halfway and suddenly became furious.
"What's yours is mine! Once I get my hands on it, it's mine!" The man who robbed the money not only showed no remorse but glared viciously at the short gambler and continued to search for more money under the table legs and chair legs.
"Damn it, you stupid thing! You dare to rob your ancestors' money? I think you're asking for death!" After scolding a few sentences with his eyes wide open, the short gambler picked up some broken porcelain pieces from the ground and flung them out!
An untrained person's aim is poor, at such a close distance, not only did he fail to hit the one who robbed him of his money, but instead hit the one behind him! The one who was hit had just picked up a big coin and was overjoyed, when suddenly his head hurt, and when he touched it with his hand, he was pricked again, and the shard of porcelain was still stuck in his head! This guy gritted his teeth and pulled it out, only to see that his hands were covered in blood!
Wow, you dare to smash me! His eyes turned red at that moment. The blood on his head flowed into his eyes, and he couldn't help but turn red. This gambler saw the blood and flames rising three feet high, jumped up, grabbed a chair and hit it! Who knew that when swinging the chair, he used too much force and bumped into the person next to him. The person next to him rushed over to chase and fight for the chair, and the chair was used to smash the porcelain, several people suddenly started fighting.
In the chaos of the battle, it was inevitable that other people were also injured. The scale of this conflict is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people are participating!
The casino was triggered by a group of cheaters and eventually led to a big fight!
The scar-faced man threw a stool but missed Ling San, the shopkeeper. He then flung out a glass teacup. This time his aim was quite good and with a "crack" it smashed onto the back of Shopkeeper Ling's head!
Ling San covered his head, looked up and saw Pockmark Liu, "Ah, it's you little rascal coming to stir up trouble on purpose! Wang Cheng, Li Hu, come over and catch these three turtle eggs for me!" Three? Boss Ling's eyes were sharp, he had already figured out that Pockmark Liu, Sun Lao Liu, and Hu Fei were in cahoots with each other.
The casino's thugs were already on the scene, how could they still be hiding in the back with the situation so chaotic? It was just that this riot and melee came too quickly and on such a large scale that the thugs couldn't subdue everyone at once. They were preparing to join forces to take down several of the gamblers who had started fighting and destroying casino equipment the earliest. As soon as the boss gave the order, the thugs immediately followed it.
As soon as Ling San's voice fell, two thugs jumped over from the other side! The fat one wasn't really fat, but rather muscular! He was over 1.9 meters tall, with muscles all over his body. It's unknown how he trained to get like this, but his arms were almost as thick as a normal person's waist. The thin one wasn't very tall, wearing all black from head to toe, with piercing eyes that shone brightly, clearly a skilled fighter!
These two people each took a rolling pin that was two feet long and came over without saying a word, swinging the pins to hit!
Hu Fei and his group were in the city to eat, and gambling was also a sudden idea. They didn't bring any weapons with them. The knives, guns, and other weapons were all left at the large carriage store outside the city. Now that they suddenly encountered an enemy, the few of them could only use whatever they saw. They overturned tables, threw chairs, grabbed brooms, boards, stools, and the two fat and thin men fought together in one place.
