Chapter 229: 139. The despair blooming from the abyss is incredibly delicious
In the end, he's a man who only cares about himself.
Zhou Fengtai, caught in the madness of greed, seemed to forget that everything he could obtain was provided by this plump catfish.
Tahm licked his lips with his tongue, extended his slimy webbed paw, and said, "Deal."
With two Gold Coins in hand, Zhou Fengtai confidently stepped into the casino once more.
In less than two hours, he became the most dazzling jewel of the casino.
He earned a total of 2 million in chips!
Feeling triumphant like a horse galloping ahead with the east wind, Zhou Fengtai spent lavishly.
The casino offered winning gamblers additional services... Beautiful ladies, various wines, and delicacies...
Zhou Fengtai indulged in the tender embrace of these professional prostitutes, who knew how to please a man and serve him well.
Their skin was fair, their faces adorned with delicate makeup, far more beautiful than that wretched woman at home.
Zhou Fengtai was enraptured by it all.
Generous and magnanimous with his spending.
Dropping tens of thousands of cash on a whim.
He had no regard for how this money could free his wife and daughter from their so-called slave status.
As Zhou Fengtai revelled in music and pleasure, a seductively dressed woman pressed close, holding a glass of fine wine to his lips.
The woman softly whispered, "Master, your luck is really amazing... This night, I will surely serve you well..."
Instinctively reaching out her hand to caress, she touched only air, her expression halted, and she looked up at Zhou Fengtai, puzzled.
The formerly ecstatic Zhou Fengtai, seeing her expression, showed a hint of embarrassment and shame.
He suddenly stood and said, "I'm stepping out for a bit, wait for me here!"
After speaking, Zhou Fengtai quickly left the private room, and as he closed the door, he seemed to hear mocking laughter behind him.
"Damn, thought I found a rich fool with good luck, turns out he's a eunuch! Hey, can we squeeze money out of an eunuch?"
...
Feeling both ashamed and furious, Zhou Fengtai returned to that alleyway.
With his call, Tahm emerged from the shadows once again.
Zhou Fengtai showcased his winnings: "I won, you have to help me!"
Tahm grinned and said, "Alright."
Tahm pointed his claw at Zhou Fengtai, who immediately felt a change in his body; instinctively, he squeezed his legs together, a look of joy appearing on his face.
"Hahaha! I'm a man again! Foolish women, wait for me to deal with you!"
Ecstatically joyous, Zhou Fengtai had barely taken two steps when he suddenly remembered something, quickly turned, and fixed a fiery gaze on Tahm: "How about we make another bet?"
Facing this greed-driven human, Tahm laughed with delight, knowing that the higher a soul soars, the more delicious its despair when it falls.
"Oh, what kind of bet do you want to make?"
"I go to the casino, if I win another 5 million, you give me one more... no, no, three Gold Coins! How about that?"
Having tasted wealth, Zhou Fengtai no longer wished to return to poverty, fearing that the two Gold Coins in his hand would lose their potency; he needed to obtain more wealth from this demon in front of him.
Tahm cheerfully agreed with a grin.
Zhou Fengtai joyfully rushed back to the casino, initially wanting to teach a lesson to those prostitutes, but upon thinking it over, he realized that wealth was more important.
As long as he had wealth, those prostitutes would have to grovel at his feet.
He immersed himself once more at the betting table.
Throwing money around extravagantly.
This kind of frenzied gambling drew the attention of the entire casino, with all eyes fixed on Zhou Fengtai.
...
"Damn, who the hell is this guy? Is he cheating the whole casino? That damn guy is the only one winning!"
"Boss, we've investigated him thoroughly; this guy is just a low-life from the slums, an old gambler. He used to gamble at small joints and suddenly his luck got insanely good, coming here and consistently winning. Damn it, he's already won over 2 million, now it's almost 3 million!"
The casino owner, with a gloomy expression, coldly said, "We're in business, we have to play fair, but we can't let him fleece us like we're a fat sheep! Send someone to warn him, tell him to quit while he's ahead and go gamble at another casino."
Running a casino business requires the ability to take risks.
At least for now, the casino owner is still within his capacity to manage.
If Zhou Fengtai heeds the advice and leaves to gamble elsewhere, the owner can guarantee to do nothing to harm him.
After all, if Zhou Fengtai leaves the casino and meets with an accident, word would spread that the casino owner was responsible, resulting in a massive loss of patrons.
After all, gambling is about winning money; if winning in your casino means risking one's life, who the hell would gamble at your place?
But if this guy keeps refusing to listen to advice.
The casino owner would go all out to make Zhou Fengtai realize that earning money wasn't going to be that easy!
As a suited croupier approached Zhou Fengtai with a glass of fine wine, trying to persuade him gently and tactfully.
Zhou Fengtai had just won another round, excitedly gathering the chips to his side.
Upon hearing the croupier's words, he suddenly flew into a rage, grabbed a handful of chips, and hurled them at the croupier's face, cursing: "Damn, the moment someone wins money at your casino, you don't let them play anymore? And you tell me to go to another casino! What? Can't take a loss?"
