Power and Wealth

Chapter 1592

Casino.

Office area upstairs.

As soon as the words were heard, the atmosphere in the room became tense.

The manager hurried over, followed by over a dozen staff members, some in disbelief, others visibly tense.

"Are we seeing this right?"

"How could it be someone from the first page?"

"Those three have never been to our casino before."

"This shouldn't be happening. Xiao Zhou, double-check to make sure, don't scare us."

"I hope it's not those three. Otherwise, it's going to be big trouble."

Everyone abandoned their tasks because they knew the three people's power from the third category's first page. The former gambling prodigy Zhou Hu, who had won tens of millions in several casinos, was only ranked on the third or fourth page of the casino's third category list. Therefore, it was unimaginable what caliber of people the three on the first page were. Things would be hard to handle if one of them appeared at their casino. So, almost everyone pitched in to help.

The manager's breathing became hurried, and he forced himself to remain calm. "Pull up the video footage and compare. Find out which one of those three it is."

A young man quickly clicked the mouse and brought up the footage from the hallway. Cameras froze the frame, extracted it, enlarged the image, and then brought up the third person's photo on the first page of the internal data. "It's the newcomer."

The photo was clear, and the features were distinct. Although they had anticipated it, everyone in the room still gasped in shock. It was unmistakable. The photo was an exact match.

The manager's expression changed slightly. "It's him."

A middle-aged man behind him asked, "Who is he exactly?"

"How would I know?" The manager said stiffly. "There's no information about him, not even his name, only records of one gambling session."

"How could someone like this be unknown?"

"But no one in the circle recognizes him."

"How did he learn his gambling skills? And what's his track record?"

"You don't even know that?"

"Well, he only just made it to the first page. I didn't have time yet."

The manager sighed and turned to the young man. "Pull it up for everyone to see."

Many of the staff members had already known, and some had heard a bit about it, but there were still one or two who didn't understand. Soon, a row of text appeared on the screen.

Name unknown.

Age unknown.

Hometown unknown.

The only recorded gambling session involved betting three times on the roulette wheel, all three times winning. A round of mahjong. Four consecutive hands: the first was a heavenly win, the second was a heavenly win with big three dragons, the third was a heavenly win with big four winds, and the fourth was a heavenly win with a pure one-color luxurious seven pairs. He played cards with the gambling god Zhou Hu, who conceded defeat. On the slot machine, he only bet one chip. On his first try, he got triple sevens. Ultimately, it was calculated that he used only one chip with the lowest value and walked away with two billion US dollars, equivalent to over ten billion Chinese yuan. The casino was forced to close early.

The staff who hadn't seen the information before were left speechless. Every time they read the simple description, their hearts couldn't calm down.

A single low-value chip won over a billion Chinese RMB from the casino.

The middle-aged man nearly fainted. He finally understood why this person was added to the dangerous list on the first page of the third category in the internal data. If this kind of person wasn't dangerous, then nobody was. This was too ruthless. He hit the jackpot every time in roulette, three consecutive times, and even in mahjong; how could every hand be a heavenly win? He even won with the big four winds and seven luxurious pairs. It wasn't surprising that the gambling god Zhou Hu lost to him. However, how could he hit the jackpot with just one chip in the slot machine? Other things might have involved cheating methods, perhaps using some unnoticed techniques, but how could he cheat on the slot machine?

Someone asked, "What cheating methods did he use?"

The manager shook his head. "I don't know. Even from what we know, he didn't show any signs of cheating. He behaved just like any ordinary gambler, betting and winning, betting and winning. And he's proficient in mahjong and card games, roulette, and baccarat. According to someone with him on a gambling ship then, he didn't even choose what to play; whatever others suggested, he could play. He had a flawless record. From this point of view, the other two people on the first-page list might not even compare to him."

There was silence.

The manager looked at them and pointed to the photo of Dong Xuebing on the screen. "Now, this person who bankrupted a casino with just one low-value chip is coming to our place. Let's hear everyone's thoughts on what to do."

"Well..."

"What does he want?"

"Yeah, we don't even know his purpose."

"We haven't offended him, have we? We don't even know him. Why would he have a problem with us?"

"We can't kick him out. He has no misconduct record, and we can't prove cheating."

This was the most significant legal casino in Macau, not filled with thugs as rumored. They had their rules and regulations, too.

After discussing it, everyone didn't know how to handle the situation. After all, they had never had someone from the first page of a dangerous list come to their place before.

"I'll contact the boss." The manager was also at a loss, and given the magnitude of the situation, he would need to report it upwards. The person on the screen wasn't ordinary; he was an extremely dangerous individual who could win tens of billions within two hours. There was no time to waste, so he quickly dialed a number and then took a moment to instruct his subordinates: "What are you still looking at? Follow the surveillance cameras and track what the target is doing."

Click.

The call connected.

The manager respectfully said, "Boss."

"What's the matter?" The voice on the other end was middle-aged.

The manager hurriedly said, "We have a situation. Someone from the first page of the dangerous list is here."

"Which one?"

"The newcomer to the list." The manager glanced at the screen and said, "We don't know the other party's purpose yet. The surveillance cameras are tracking him. He just entered the casino and hasn't exchanged chips yet."

The boss said, "Have you made contact with him?"

"Not yet. We didn't dare to act rashly."

After contemplating, the boss said slowly, "For the three people on the first-page list, if you can avoid offending them, then don't. Make contact with him, politely ask him to leave, remember, ask him to leave."

The manager said, "Yes, I understand."
