#54 - Chapter 54: Make the Best of a Mistake

Shopkeeper Qin still didn't speak, only walked towards the outside with his hands behind his back, the manager of Gambling Hall Five hurriedly followed.

The two arrived at a small hall in the back. As soon as the manager entered, Shopkeeper Qin suddenly turned around and slapped him.

This slap was full of force, and the manager was slapped away, heavily hitting the wall.

The manager hurriedly got up and knelt down heavily, saying, "This subordinate is guilty, Great Shopkeeper, please calm your anger!"

Shopkeeper Qin was expressionless, looking at the manager with his hands behind his back, and said, "Zhang Xu, do you know where you went wrong?"

Zhang Xu's face still had a bright red palm print, and his face was burning with pain.

However, he didn't dare to rub it with his hand, and honestly said, "This subordinate mismanaged, letting such a big opportunity slip away, causing the gambling house to suffer huge losses. This subordinate deserves to die!"

"Bang!"

Shopkeeper Qin kicked out again suddenly, Zhang Xu's body flew up again, heavily hitting the wall.

A look of pain appeared on his face, and at least two of his ribs were broken by the kick.

However, he didn't dare to complain in the slightest, and knelt down again with a grimace, saying, "Great Shopkeeper, please calm your anger. For the sake of this subordinate's hard work over the years, please spare my life."

"Idiot!"

Shopkeeper Qin said with a gloomy expression, "You still don't know where you went wrong?"

A look of astonishment appeared on Zhang Xu's face, and he cupped his hands and said, "Please enlighten me, Great Shopkeeper."

Shopkeeper Qin said coldly, "Being bid up two thousand times, betting three thousand and winning six million, is this a big loss? Is six million a lot for our gambling house? What does it have to do with you if someone picked up a bargain? That's the appraiser's problem!"

"Your mistake is that you actually wanted to mess with those two guests? Wanting to investigate those two guests, and saying it in the gambling hall? What if a strong person could hear your words? Are you an idiot?"

"Six million is nothing!"

"This time, for us, it's not only not a loss, but a great opportunity, a great opportunity for our gambling house to become famous throughout Yunzhou."

"We must not only not harm these two guests, but also protect them, and not let anything happen to them!"

"Two young masters who don't know anything, betting on stones blindly in the Qilin Gambling House, betting three thousand and winning six million, soaring two thousand times, getting rich overnight — do you know how much of a sensation this news will cause when it spreads?"

"Six million Profound Stones, to make our gambling house famous in the stone gambling world of Yunzhou, is it expensive? How many gamblers can this attract to the gambling house! How much profit can it bring? Why do you think I want to give out VIP cards? Can your pig brain understand this?"

After Shopkeeper Qin finished speaking, Zhang Xun immediately understood. He was indeed very stupid, and actually wanted to mess with Jiang Han and Jiang Lang.

He was still talking about this in the hall. If someone with ulterior motives heard it, the reputation of the gambling house would be completely ruined in an instant. The loss at that time would probably be hundreds of millions of Profound Stones…

"Pa ~"

Zhang Xun reacted very quickly, gave himself two slaps decisively, and lowered his head to admit his mistake, "Great Shopkeeper is wise, this subordinate has a hole in his brain and almost ruined the Great Shopkeeper's important matter."

"Black Hawk!"

Shopkeeper Qin ignored Zhang Xun and shouted in a deep voice. A middle-aged man in black walked in from outside.

Shopkeeper Qin ordered, "Did you hear what I just said? Immediately arrange for someone to secretly protect those two young masters, at least nothing can happen in our Dark City."

"Also… arrange for someone to spread the word about this matter, the more mysterious the better. I want all the gamblers in Yunzhou to know about tonight's events within two days."

"In addition!"

Shopkeeper Qin thought for a while and ordered again, "In the next half month, let more opportunities slip away, even if it's at a loss. I want the Qilin Gambling House to be completely famous in Yunzhou within this half month!"

"Yes!"

The middle-aged man in black cupped his hands and left, and Shopkeeper Qin looked out the window with his hands behind his back.

He frowned and pondered for a moment, muttering, "Are these two young masters really lucky against the heavens, or are they stone gambling geniuses deliberately putting on a show?"

The two stone gambling geniuses are currently in the largest restaurant in the city, having opened the largest private room, ordering the most expensive dishes and the most expensive wine in the restaurant, spending 30,000 Profound Stones in one go.

Looking at the table full of delicacies, looking at Jiang Lang, who was gobbling and drinking and had a mouth full of oil, Jiang Han sat there dumbfounded, his face full of speechless expression.

Jiang Lang took a sip of wine, glanced at Jiang Han, and said vaguely, "Eat, why aren't you eating? Don't waste such expensive dishes!"

"Your heart is really big!"

Jiang Han sighed and said, "What are we going to do next? Go around a few times tomorrow morning and go back?"

The impact of this incident is too great. If the two continue to take action, the risk will increase exponentially, and if they are not careful, they will lose their lives.

After thinking about it, Jiang Han decided to cut off this path to wealth. After a few years when the situation has calmed down and his strength has become stronger, he will come back to secretly do a little bit.

"Go back?"

Jiang Lang spat out a bone, grinned, and said, "If we don't earn a few hundred million Profound Stones, what face do we have to go back? It's not easy to come out once, so let's plan to stay outside for half a month this time."

"What?"

Jiang Han raised his eyebrows and stood up abruptly, saying, "Are you crazy? Do you want money more than your life?"

"Don't worry, little brother!"

Jiang Lang threw away a large piece of meat in his hand, picked up the tablecloth and wiped his mouth, saying, "Let me tell you, there are definitely people monitoring us outside, and there's more than one group of people."

"If we go back now, we'll be courting death, and our identities will be exposed very quickly. It will be difficult to even want to live at that time, and it will also implicate Yunmeng Pavilion."

Jiang Han was stunned, he thought about it and said, "We can go around a few more cities, and if it really doesn't work, we can buy two more masks, will we still be discovered?"

"It's useless, unless you buy Heaven-Rank Profound Artifact masks."

Jiang Lang shook his head and said, "Some tracking experts can easily lock you down by smelling the scent on your body."

"Earth-Rank Profound Artifacts can hide from ordinary martial artists, but they definitely can't hide from professional trackers. Tonight's incident has become a big deal, so we can't leave for the time being, we can only stay in this city."

Jiang Han was worried about Jiang Li, bit his teeth and said, "How many Profound Stones are Heaven-Rank masks? If it doesn't work, we'll buy two."

"Heh heh!"

Jiang Lang glanced at him and said, "Don't mention two, you can't even afford one, starting at one hundred million Profound Stones."

"One hundred million…"

Jiang Han sat down powerlessly, his face turned gloomy, and his face was filled with regret.

"Don't be so depressed!"

Jiang Lang walked over and sat next to Jiang Han, saying, "No one could have predicted that a top-grade product would be opened. Now that the matter has already happened, then we can only make the best of a bad situation and go all the way to the end."

"Make the best of a bad situation?" Jiang Han didn't quite understand.

"That's right!"

Jiang Lang's face became solemn, "I have a new plan — I plan to stay in this Dark City and work in the Qilin Gambling House for three to five days, earn hundreds of millions of Profound Stones from them, make a killing, and then leave!"

"Hundreds of millions?"

Jiang Han's eyes widened, and he said, "Are you crazy? This gambling house is in the top five in Yunzhou, how terrifying is the force behind it? Are you tired of living too long?"

Staring at a gambling house and薅ing it for a few days, and still earning hundreds of millions continuously? Even if the gambling house owner is an idiot, they will find a problem.

It's impossible for a person to be so lucky all the time, and even if they can't catch him cheating, they will become suspicious.

At that time, not to mention them, if they follow the vine and find out about Yunmeng Pavilion, the entire Yunmeng Pavilion will be finished.

"Don't panic!"

Jiang Lang smiled confidently and said, "Little Hanhan, we only have one chance. After this one, we won't have a chance to take action again for at least three to five years, so we must make a killing this time."

"Don't worry… I have my own way to get away, I guarantee that no one will dare to investigate us, I guarantee to take you away easily, and I won't expose our identities!"
