Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 836: Gamble? If you want to gamble, then gamble.

”Brother Xiao, what do you think if I buy this?”

Xin Yiran held the crystal in her hand and turned to ask for the opinion of the person behind her, only to find that Xiao He didnʼt seem to have noticed her inquiry.

”Brother Xiao?”

”Ah, sorry, I have already asked this clerk to put everything you purchase later on my tab. I have some other matters to attend to, so I will be leaving first.”

Xiao He regained his focus, turned his head, and said to Xin Yiran with an apologetic expression.

”Ah, okay, okay—wait, no, thereʼs no need, no need. Donʼt put it on Brother Xiaoʼs tab, we can pay for it ourselves—”

Xin Yiran was stunned for a moment, then realized that Brother Xiao had offered to pay, so she quickly tried to refuse, but Xiao He had already instructed the clerk and turned to leave.

Before leaving, he didnʼt forget to warn the clerk, ”The few guests lining up to come in later are my friends. When you make recommendations, donʼt recommend those messy things, and donʼt continue leading them further inside.”

Things like dark amulets and Kuman Thong inside looked creepy; those with weak hearts might even have nightmares.

”Okay, okay.”

The clerk nodded repeatedly.

Consequently, Xin Yiran could only watch Xiao He leave.

She felt a bit confused, but in the end, she could only let out a long sigh and continue looking at the amethyst in her hand.

After walking out of the Feng Shui shop, Xiao He greeted the other people queuing at the door, then circled around to enter the casino through another entrance.

This time, he specifically checked the surroundings, and only entered the casino after confirming there were no acquaintances nearby.

He wanted to avoid accidentally bringing someone else in again, which would cause trouble later.

Unsurprisingly, Dong Huai and Bao Wenqi had just finished this gambling match.

The fat man Xiao He had seen earlier had already disappeared, leaving only a pile of colorful chips on the table.

The onlookers surrounding them had also gradually dispersed to other areas.

Clearly, their ”game” had ended.

As for the target they had set their sights on, he had likely lost everything, down to his underwear.

Xiao He had no interest in pitying a gambler who had lost his mind and walked into a dead end, so he walked straight up to the two men.

”Huh?”

Seeing Xiao He reappear here, Bao Wenqi and Dong Huai, who were originally talking, were both stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao He in surprise.

”I heard you have remaining spots for the good luck charms. I wonder if you could give me one?” Xiao He got straight to the point. ”I can pay double.”

”Oh? Mr. Xiao has actually heard about the good luck charms?”

Bao Wenqi had a strange expression, then scoffed and said apologetically, ”Then Iʼm sorry. Our spots are already full, and we donʼt have any extra to give you. Even if you pay me more money, my Bao Family doesnʼt lack that.”

Xiao He narrowed his eyes, looked at the person in front of him calmly, and suddenly laughed, ”Alright, it was too presumptuous of me. Then, is your invitation from earlier still valid?”

Bao Wenqi and Dong Huai exchanged glances.

The invitation from earlier?

Just a moment ago, Bao Wenqi had walked over and taken the initiative to invite Xiao He to gamble with them in front of everyone.

It was just a pity that Xiao He had refused.

So, had he changed his mind and was now prepared to gamble a round with them after all?

That would be great!

Dong Huai, who had just finished a game, licked his teeth and sized up the person in front of him. Thinking of what Bao Wenqi had told him about Xiao He earlier, he suddenly felt eager to try. ”Alright, Iʼll gamble with you.”

He immediately sat back down at the Baccarat table.

Bao Wenqi looked at Dong Huai, then at Xiao He, thought for a moment, and nodded with a smile, ”Alright, but Iʼll state this first: regarding the good luck charms, we really canʼt help. If you just want to play a few rounds with us, thatʼs fine.”

”Sure.”

Regarding Bao Wenqiʼs preemptive disclaimer, Xiao He treated it as a flag the other party had set for themselves and agreed readily. However, he glanced at the Baccarat table, shook his head with disdain, and said straightforwardly, ”Iʼm not interested in games like Baccarat that rely purely on luck.”

”Besides, in this kind of game, luck isnʼt something I can manipulate, is it?”

Xiao He said with a cryptic smile, ”Letʼs go to the upper level; weʼll play something else.”

Having their petty schemes for the previous gambling matches so bluntly exposed by Xiao He, Bao Wenqi and Dong Huai exchanged glances, looking embarrassed. The dealer standing behind them also immediately lowered their head.

Fortunately, Xiao He didnʼt intend to call them out on it, and simply continued, ”The gaming experience that this casino should provide, I assume it will be available later, right? I hope you can arrange a suitable dealer for everyone by then.”

”That goes without saying.”

Since Xiao He had already spoken to this extent, Bao Wenqi and his group naturally didnʼt dare to pull any tricks.

Moreover, with their level of authority, they really had no way to manipulate the wins and losses in the upper-level casino.

After all, those who could go to the upper level all had some status and background. As juniors of the Bao Family and Dong Family, even if it was their home turf, they couldnʼt make the final decisions.

As it happened, Bao Wenqi and Dong Huai, having just finished their game in the lower-level casino, were already planning to go to the upper level to start some truly exciting gambling activities.

So, very quickly, Xiao He was led by the two of them to the upper level.

The upper level was much quieter than the lower level, with fewer people and half the interior space, but it was decorated more luxuriously and magnificently. There were still quite a few casino staff and gamblers walking around.

Bao Wenqi walked around for a bit and quickly found a suitable gambling table.

As it happened, there were other suitable gamblers at the table.

A man who looked to be in his thirties or forties had just finished their gambling match.

The staff beside him was diligently helping him organize the chips won from this match.

Beside him sat another young man with an average appearance, wearing a wine-red suit and a slightly flashy tie. He was currently drinking red wine while sitting with his legs crossed, holding a scantily clad woman who was practically sitting in his lap. The two were whispering intimately as if no one else was around, completely ignoring the other passersby.

The last gambler was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreigner with superior looks and deep features; looking at him for a long time, he seemed to carry an air of melancholy.

Since Bao Wenqi started frequenting casinos, he had naturally gotten to know many gamblers one after another. Since people of their same social class often played together in such situations, Bao Wenqi was very familiar with these people and began greeting them as soon as he approached.

Dong Huai, on the other hand, had been confined at home by Mrs. Dong during this period and was not allowed to go out, so he mostly gambled online and spent less time in offline casinos. He wasnʼt particularly familiar with these few people, but they could still be considered to be in the same circle.

”Long time no see!”

Bao Wenqi greeted the few people very familiarly, then introduced Xiao He to everyone.

”Yo, rare to see, you actually brought a newcomer.”

The first one to strike up a conversation with Xiao He was that flashy man in the red suit, who whistled directly and then waved enthusiastically at Xiao He, ”Ah, I know you! The big star from the mainland! Xiao He! I heard that a while ago you just purchased a royal garden estate in Beijing. I wonder if youʼre interested in sharing your experience with us? Iʼm very curious about that!”

The He Family, He Ziye. According to seniority, he should be one generation higher than Xiao He and the others; he was the fifth uncle of the current Young President He, though he was actually younger than Young President He.

The man sitting next to He Ziye, who looked quite fierce, was Zheng Ji from a security group. In his early years, he was a legitimate member of a Gang who had gone straight. Later, he opened a well-known security group company and had very close cooperative relationships with the {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} people of the three major families of Hong Kong.

As for the last foreigner, he was a freelance investor from abroad.

However, what caught Xiao Heʼs extra attention was that in the other partyʼs profile, there seemed to be a description regarding superb gambling skills.

So he couldnʼt help but look at the other party a few more times.

And that foreigner also nodded slightly towards him.

Looking at the luxurious lineup in front of him, Xiao He was not afraid but laughed instead.

Such high-spec treatment was truly flattering.

But itʼs interesting, isnʼt it?
