Livestream Conflict-solver: The Whole Internet Begs Me for Justice!

102: Five million for an invitation letter”Y-you... what nonsense are you spouting! I don’t know anything about the World of Ultimate Bliss, and I don’t have any invitation card!”

Sun Peng’s voice became sharp; he yelled while nervously scanning the other people at the card table.

Everyone present was a second-generation rich kid from Jianghai City, and upon hearing that name, their expressions became subtle.

Clearly, some people in this circle had heard rumors, to varying degrees.

”Impossible!” Sun Peng practically jumped up, pointing at Zhang Ze.

”Who exactly are you? If you dare to spout nonsense again, don’t blame me for being impolite!”

However, his slightly trembling fingers and evasive gaze had already completely betrayed him.

Sun Peng wasn’t just afraid of losing the bet; he was more afraid of the secret of the ”World of Ultimate Bliss” itself.

Zhang Ze saw right through him.

When dealing with a good-for-nothing who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, forcing the issue was useless.

He suddenly smiled, dropping his aggressive demeanor. He leaned back lazily against the chair, waving his hand: ”Alright, alright, no more gambling. Young Master Sun, don’t get agitated, it was just a joke. If you can’t handle it, forget it.”

The tense atmosphere at the table immediately eased. Seeing that Zhang Ze no longer mentioned the word ”bet,” Sun Peng secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sat back down, though his eyes remained fixed on Zhang Ze, full of vigilance.

”Gambling hurts feelings.”

Zhang Ze changed the subject, revealing his true intention: ”But business, we can discuss.”

He extended a finger and gently pushed the mountain of chips in front of him.

”I’m not particularly sensitive to money, but I do like novel and exciting things.”

”Young Master Sun, name your price. I don’t want to bet anymore, I want to buy.”

”Buy?” Sun Peng was stunned.

”Yes, buy.” Zhang Ze nodded. ”With these chips on the table, I’ve won about two million from you, plus two million from them. Now, I’ll add another million. I’ll use this five million-plus to buy the admission ticket for tomorrow night’s auction that you have in your hand.”

He paused, his tone full of temptation: ”This way, not only do you get back all the money you lost tonight, but you also net three million. You lose nothing; you just miss one party. No matter how you calculate it, this deal is a massive profit for you.”

These words precisely struck the most vulnerable spot in Sun Peng’s heart.

Sun Peng’s brain began racing.

His father was usually quite strict with him, and his allowance had been shrinking lately.

If he sold the invitation, he would get back all the money he lost, plus earn an extra three million!

Not only would the hole from tonight be filled, but he would also make a huge profit!

As for the auction... if he didn’t go, he didn’t go!

This guy named ”A Zhou” also seemed very mysterious and had significant influence. Since he dared to buy it, it meant he had his own connections.

Why should he bother wading into these murky waters himself?

The more he thought about it, the more worthwhile Sun Peng found the deal.

This was simply a windfall!

His breathing became rapid, and the fear in his eyes was gradually replaced by greed.

”A-are you serious?” Sun Peng’s voice trembled slightly from excitement.

”When I, A Zhou, do business, I rely on a single word: ’Trust’,” Zhang Ze said casually, as if three million was just a number to him.

Sun Peng’s psychological defenses completely collapsed.

He gritted his teeth, as if making a momentous decision, and slammed his hand on the table.

”Fine! I’ll sell it to you!”

He shakily pulled a card out of the inner pocket of his suit jacket.

It was a pure black metal card, cold to the touch. The front was engraved with a coiled, strangely alluring snake using silver thread, with no other text or pattern.

This was the highest-level invitation card for the ”World of Ultimate Bliss” auction.

Zhang Ze gave An Yang a look.

An Yang immediately stepped forward, expressionlessly took the card from Sun Peng’s hand, checked it carefully, and then nodded to Zhang Ze.

He tried hard to maintain his persona as a cold bodyguard, but internally, a storm raged: Brother Ze is awesome! He pulled this off?! Bloodless victory!

”Very good.”

Zhang Ze nodded in satisfaction. He didn’t even bother to glance at Sun Peng again, merely waving his hand dismissively at the dealer.

”Cash out all these chips for Young Master Sun.”

He stood up, adjusted his collar, walked over to Sun Peng, who was already frantically counting the chips, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him a meaningful smile.

”Young Master Sun, it was a pleasure doing business.”

Having said that, he didn’t linger. He took An Yang and turned to leave the smoky private room.

Walking out of the ”Yujingxuan” entrance, the cool breeze of the late night felt especially refreshing on his face.

From Zhang Ze’s miniature earpiece came Chen Hu’s voice, steady as ice.

”trump card, is it settled?”

Zhang Ze got into the ferrari’s driver’s seat and spun the cold black card once on his fingertip.

”It’s settled.”

”Ice Block, Iron Pot, pay attention.”

”Tomorrow night, we’re going to cause a scene.”

Back in the ferrari, An Yang held the black snake-shaped card, turning it over and over, his face flushed with excitement.

”Brother Ze is awesome! It’s settled just like that? A bloodless victory!”

He shouted excitedly, ”Then tomorrow, let’s just charge right in and turn the place upside down!”

Zhang Ze drove, glancing at him in the rearview mirror, and said irritably: ”Charge in? Do you think you’re raiding a bird’s nest in your backyard? Use that iron-walnut brain of yours to think.”

Chen Hu, who had remained silent in the passenger seat the entire time, suddenly reached out and took the card from An Yang’s hand.

He looked at it once and, using his completely flat tone, said: ”One problem.”

”What problem?” An Yang leaned closer.

Chen Hu pointed to a tiny mark on the back of the card.

”This is a top-tier invitation card, very high specification. But according to standard practice, for this level of security, one card can only bring one accompanying person at most.”

An Yang’s smile froze on his face.

”Huh? Then... doesn’t that mean only two people can go in? What about Brother Hu? No way, no way, we can’t leave Brother Hu behind!”

He scratched his head anxiously, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration: ”I’ve got it! We can stuff Brother Hu in the trunk and sneak him in!”

Chen Hu slowly turned his head and stared at An Yang.

That look was as if he were staring at an idiot.

”The trunk has infrared and vital sign scanning. Furthermore, I am not luggage.”

”Alright, alright, Iron Pot, stop showing off how low your IQ can go.”

Zhang Ze interrupted them, ”Ice Block is right. Forcing our way in or exploiting loopholes are not the optimal solutions. We need to change the way we play.”

He held the steering wheel with one hand, rapidly formulating a plan in his mind.

”Since they only let two people in, we’ll split up.”

”One in the open, one in the shadows. One acts as bait, one acts as the dagger.”
