"Damn, why didn't I bet all my chips just now!"

Wu Jian looked at the pile of chips left in front of him with a gloomy face, muttering to himself in frustration.

It's no wonder he's annoyed, just now he acted cautiously and bet conservatively, as a result, he missed out on several million more. How could Wu Jian not feel frustrated?

Don't be fooled by this kid exchanging forty to fifty thousand in chips in one go, looking like he's wealthy, but in reality, this is already a major part of Wu Jian's assets. After all, Wu Jian is still a relatively honest second-generation official.

It's only by following Qin Fang that he dared to take out so much at once; otherwise, Wu Jian definitely wouldn't be willing to part with so much.

Now, after just one round, his assets have multiplied tenfold. If he had bet everything earlier, his tens of thousands would have suddenly turned into millions, so that when Wu Jian mixes with a group of young masters in the future, he wouldn't appear so out of place...

"Don't worry, you can't earn all the money in the world..."

Upon hearing Wu Jian's words, Qin Fang just smiled confidently, and like magic, with a slight movement of his fingers, a cigar appeared at his fingertips.

"Of course, of course... as long as I'm with Brother Qin, there's definitely money to be made!"

Wu Jian's eyes widened, somehow managing to take out a lighter, and quickly lighted the cigar for Qin Fang, happily flattering him as he spoke.

"Brother Qin, how much should I bet this round?"

Just then, as the croupier was done paying off and started shaking the dice cup again, Wu Jian squinted, cautiously asking.

"You brat..."

Qin Fang smiled helplessly. Although Wu Jian was actually a bit older than him, this kid had long considered Qin Fang as the boss, ignoring the age gap between them.

But jokes aside, it was time to bet again. Qin Fang didn't bother to look, and directly pushed the fifty thousand chips won from the last round onto the two-point leopard.

The chance of the leopard appearing is relatively low, only one-sixth, but the casino set it up with increased odds, allowing bets on single-point leopard, with odds of one to twenty, although still quite a rip-off, at least it's double the regular point odds of one to ten.

"Leopard?"

Wu Jian was a bit surprised, apparently somewhat unexpected, but he already trusted Qin Fang, and the previous round had proven Qin Fang's ability, so he didn't hesitate to push all his chips up, joining Qin Fang's pile, making quite an impressive sight.

With odds of one to twenty, placing nearly two million in bets at once, the croupier's face slightly changed, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

If these two guessed correctly, the casino would have to pay nearly forty million to them... Such a huge bet was really putting him in a bind.

The croupier was in a dilemma, hand resting on the dice cup, unsure whether to reveal the dice or do something else...

Cheating was definitely out of the question; this casino is quite legitimate, without those manipulative devices found in some shady casinos. After all, those entering here are either rich or noble, and if things were exposed, the Light Club's reputation would be thoroughly ruined!

In Jiangzhou, big-name clubs aren't limited to just Light Club. Whether it's Drunken River South, Beiguo Fengguo, or the Americas Club that Qin Fang hasn't visited, they're all rivals of Light Club, all hoping Light Club makes a major mistake...

Losing a stake might just cost a few tens of millions, but if Light Club's reputation goes bad, the loss would be calculated in billions.

"Open it!"

Just when the croupier was at a loss about what to do, a cold voice softly spoke in his ear, making the croupier's body shiver suddenly. A sinister-looking man had somehow appeared behind him.

What this man was called, the croupier wasn't sure, but he knew this person was with the big boss, clearly holding a higher position than a small croupier like himself.

"Open... Two points, leopard!"

With the man's instruction, although the croupier was still very nervous, he gained a bit of confidence and slowly revealed the points on the dice inside the cup.

Behold, it was indeed three two-points forming a leopard!

Nearly forty million just vanished like that...

The croupier's face turned deathly pale, and his eyes were filled with fear as he looked at the man who seemed somewhat cold, his legs trembling.

Although losing money in casinos is quite normal, even if more than a million was lost in the previous round, the croupier remained calm. Every croupier has a certain payout limit... If the casino only won and never lost, who would want to gamble here?

But this round required a payout of forty million, which far exceeded this croupier's payout limit, and even many times beyond. Could he not be afraid?

It's said that there was once a croupier who lost over twenty million for the casino, and he never appeared again. Several days later, his body was fished out of the Huangpu River, and the state of the corpse... was too terrifying!

And this time, he lost even more, nearly forty million, far worse than that previous person. Could he still survive?

"We won! We won! We won again..."

Compared to the croupier's trepidation, the situation was entirely different on Qin Fang's side. When the three dice were revealed, Qin Fang remained unfazed, casually smoking a cigar as if the matter had nothing to do with him. However, Wu Jian was stunned for a long time and, upon realizing what happened, couldn't help but shout excitedly...

This kid had never held more than one or two million in his life, with regular expenses and social events consuming much daily, leaving him without much extra cash...

But now, within a couple of minutes across two rounds, the hundreds of thousands he invested not only remained intact but had multiplied by over six hundred times, turning into more than 26 million, instantly elevating Young Master Wu from "destitute" to "landlord."

"Keep busy with your work..."

Though the croupier anxiously awaited this man's verdict, he was surprised when the man didn't even seem to notice him, casually gesturing for him to continue working, as though losing forty million for the casino was of no consequence, like a pile of wastepaper.

"Gentlemen, your chips exceed the first-floor limit. Would you like to continue on the first floor, or would you prefer to move up to the VIP lounge upstairs?"

Ignoring the trembling croupier, the cold-faced man courteously asked Qin Fang and Wu Jian.

After compensating Qin Fang and Wu Jian, the chips in their hands amounted to ten million and twenty-seven million respectively, both exceeding the first-floor limit by five million. His inquiry was reasonable.

Upon hearing this man's question, Wu Jian naturally looked towards Qin Fang. Being a small follower, he obviously took his cues from Qin Fang.

"Let's go to the second floor..."

Qin Fang had nearly finished his cigar, flicking the ash with precision into an ashtray two meters away as he calmly suggested, standing up at the same time...

"Exchange the chips, then follow me upstairs..."

Suddenly, Qin Fang instructed Wu Jian, catching him momentarily off guard. However, Wu Jian understood quickly enough, promptly responding and heading to exchange the chips.

Previously, it was Wu Jian exchanging money for chips, but this time he was exchanging chips for money, transferring it into his own account...

In just ten minutes, this kid Wu Jian netted twenty-seven million. The speed was astonishing.

Yet Wu Jian understood Qin Fang's intention. Winning money in the second-floor VIP lounge wouldn't be as easy; most bettors there gambled against each other, with far fewer rounds hosted by the casino itself... Winning the casino's money wouldn't be straightforward.

The second-floor VIP lounge had a five-million threshold, but there was no upper limit, essentially hosting the casino's high-stakes games.

As for the so-called two-million threshold on the third floor, the Supreme Lounge rarely opened casually. Generally speaking, having even one game at this level every two to three months was considered good operation for the casino; sometimes, there might not be a game for half a year...

A threshold of two million meant the game involved funds exceeding a hundred million—this was all cash... surely a spectacular high-stakes gamble.

There were many wealthy people in Huxi, quite a few billionaires, but some of these billionaires were overly speculative. Though their assets might tally ten billion, they often lacked much liquid capital... Many engaged in "Karate," operating real estate speculation groups, stock trading daredevil teams, and the like, too numerous to count!

The third-floor games generally required long prior appointments to organize; thus, Qin Fang's hope of advancing directly to the third floor was dashed, leaving him to "slaughter" on the second floor instead.

However, since the appearance of this cold-faced man, Qin Fang realized the other party had already taken action, fearing that even on the second floor, winning easily wouldn't be an option.

Originally, Qin Fang winning money from other gamblers had nothing to do with the casino, but once certain people knew Qin Fang had arrived, they obviously wouldn't remain idle.

For example, as soon as Qin Fang set foot on the second floor, under the cold man's guidance, entering the largest VIP lounge on the second floor, six gamblers were already seated there, waiting as if somewhat impatient...(To be continued.
