Ling Yun stayed put in his seat and grimaced.
“This past month, you won one hundred million yuan as you trampled over my Green Dragon’s turf in Qingshui City!
“I didn’t want to bother with you lot when you started. Besides, you were right, we shouldn’t be scared about customers winning if they have the ability to win in a casino. That was why I allowed you to win that hundred million yuan!
“However, not only were you not satisfied with that, but you brought ten times that amount to our turf and announced that you were going to bankrupt us!
“Did I ask you to stop and show some mercy before we started gambling? Do you still remember what you said? Close shop if you can’t gamble!
“You want to leave quietly after losing one billion? Don’t you think that’s really disrespectful of us, Green Dragon?
“You come and go as you like. Do you really think we’re your toys? Naive!
“We didn’t touch you not because we don’t dare to, but because we have rules. We’ll win against you on the gambling table before anything else!”
Ling Yun was like a crouching tiger revealing his fangs. He didn’t give the other party a chance at rebuttal!
“Boss Gong!”
“Yes!”
“Chase all the people unrelated to our casino out. I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with this lot!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Green Dragon started to clear the place out. Many customers left in excitement, relishing in the miracle Ling Yun showed.
Soon, only the relevant people were left in the casino. Ling Yun, Tang Meng, Tie Xiaohu, Abing, Gong Hongguang, and a few brothers from Green Dragon that he could trust, as well as their opponents. The rest were sent outside to stand guard.
There was dead silence.
“Everyone, please take a seat. I have a few things to say,” Ling Yun said towards that beautiful girl.
“First, you have to give me ten times the amount of money you won here. I’ll chop one finger off for every cent that’s missing!”
“We’ll start with you!” Ling Yun pointed at the beautiful lady.
She shivered and hid her hands under the table quickly.
“How… how dare you. I’ll tell my father if you dare to touch a hair of mine. My father will take care of you!”
She brought her father up instinctively when she heard that Ling Yun actually wanted to chop off her fingers.
“You can test if I dare or not…” Ling Yun grinned.
“Second, tell me, who’s the one who asked you to come and trample on our turf? Spit it out!” he continued mercilessly.
Everyone knew that these gambling masters were here because someone wanted to destroy the Green Dragon Sect. Ling Yun would have to uproot these weeds. If not, there would be endless trouble for him.
The gambling masters were shocked at Ling Yun’s domineering aura. He was so young but was already an old fox.
“Erm…” They were now in a tight spot. All of them looked towards the middle-aged man. He was obviously the decision-maker amongst them.
“This is against the rules…” the middle-aged man said after a long while. He was drenched in his own sweat.
“For every grievance, someone is responsible, for every debt, there is a debtor. We, the Green Dragon Sect, didn’t offend you, yet you took money from someone else to destroy us. Is this within the rules then?
“Tie Xiaohu!”
“Yes!”
“Pull your knife out! Cut off one of their hands if they continue to keep quiet!”
Ling Yun might be smiling, but his gaze was cold and merciless, much like a blade that had been sleeping in ice for a million years.
Woosh! Tie Xiaohu pulled out the dagger he carried around with him. The dagger’s surface reflected light from the incandescent lamp!
“I’ll give you one last chance. Will you say it or not?” Ling Yun asked calmly.
Ling Yun wasn’t joking, he wouldn’t be merciful to anyone who meant him harm, no matter if it was a man or a woman.
“I’ll spill!”
That beautiful woman couldn’t sit still when she realized that Ling Yun wasn’t joking. All of them practiced gambling since they were children. One of the most important things for them were their hands. How could they allow them to just chop their livelihood away!
“It’s… Qingyun Productions… The bosses of the Beijing Qingyun Productions paid us to find trouble with you…” she bit her lip and said with a reddened face.
Ling Yun, Tang Meng, and Tie Xiaohu glanced at each other at the mention of the name. They then started to act up, roaring with laughter, holding their bellies, convulsing hard.
So it was Qingyun Productions! They were here for revenge!
There was really a grievance, a huge one!
Qingyun Productions were messing with the right people. All three of them went to trash their company the first time, while Tie Xiaohu personally took Green Dragon to crush them the second time.
Ling Yun had also made a dozen of them eunuchs. It might have been covered up by the Lin Family and Li Yifeng, but Qingyun Productions still had to compensate these people. It would have been a lot of money!
Tie Xiaohu had become the boss of Green Dragon, and Qingyun Productions wanted revenge on Tie Xiaohu, so they rightfully took it out on Green Dragon.
The three of them howled with laughter and nearly teared up. Everyone else was dumbstruck since they had no idea why they were going crazy.
Ling Yun was the first to stop laughing. He coughed twice and rested for a long while as the redness in his face subsided. “You came because Qingyun Productions asked you to come? What did they give you?”
That beautiful woman looked down in silence this time.
Qingyun Productions looked for her father first, but her father knew that the Green Dragon Sect wasn’t an easy opponent to deal with, so he flatly refused. This young woman arrogantly thought it was nothing, so she went to Qingyun Productions herself and took up the job secretly.
They gave them five hundred million yuan. Any winnings belonged to them, and any losses belonged to Qingyun Productions.
The results of the first trip were that they won eighty million yuan happily. They then went back to Beijing to gloat. Qingyun Productions tasted the sweetness of revenge, so they gave them another five hundred million yuan. That was a total of one billion yuan for them to screw with Green Dragon’s casino.
The result — they lost everything after meeting Big Brother Yun.
They weren’t able to face Qingyun Productions now that they lost everything. Even more, they had to pay ten times the price. How much could professional gamblers have? She had lost all of their money in one shot.
Ling Yun turned towards that middle-aged man after seeing that the lady was unwilling to speak.
“Friend, I’ll be honest with you. We are the disciples of Zeng Liuzhi. This is Zeng Liuzhi’s daughter, Zeng Yingying. This whole matter has been our mistake. Our master doesn’t have any knowledge of this incident at all… I hope… I hope you can be merciful on us…” That middle-aged man gave Ling Yun a hold fist salute helplessly.
Ling Yun didn’t know who Zeng Liuzhi was, but the faces of everyone else changed when they heard the name.
“You mean the Gambling God of Huaxia, that Zeng Liuzhi?” Gong Hongguang asked excitedly.
Could this Zeng Liuzhi be famous? Ling Yun was a little startled. He turned to look at Gong Hongguang and Tang Meng and affirmed his suspicions.
That senior disciple had no choice but to tell them his master’s name. He didn’t forget to glare at Zeng Yingying.
What a huge damage to their master’s reputation!
Gong Hongguang pondered for some time before placing his mouth at Ling Yun’s ear. “Boss, this… I don’t think they’re lying based on their skills. Senior Zeng Liuzhi has won the gambling championship in Asia for three consecutive years. I think this matter should be swept under the rug since he didn’t have any knowledge about it…”
Ling Yun didn’t show any emotions after Gong Hongguang was done. That senior continued, “We admit our defeat. We lost one billion yuan to you just now. We can return the eighty million we won from you now, but we really can’t pay ten times that amount. We can only… only pay double… Junior Sister!”
He bellowed at Zeng Yingying right after he was done.
“Junior Sister, come over and apologize to this person immediately!”
Zeng Yingying snorted heavily and looked up at Ling Yun. She then looked at her seniors before apologizing grudgingly to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun laughed. He had earned one billion yuan from this. He might as well give them some face since they were disciples of the Gambling God.
He nodded. “Alright, I’ll cut you some slack since you’re the disciples of Zeng Liuzhi. However, you have to pay us at least five hundred million yuan for tormenting us!”
“You!” Zeng Yingying stomped her foot on the ground upon seeing how Ling Yun was so arrogant even after her father’s name was brought up.
“We don’t have so much money with us!” Zeng Yingying retorted.
“Give us whatever you have first and sign an IOU!” Ling Yun smiled
