Chapter 2381 — Unmasking the Madman
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
Brother Gambling was on the verge of tears. Which mattered more, money or his life? Had he known this girl belonged to that monster before him, he would never have come down to make a nuisance of himself! Seeing that Wei Zhao dared kill even the men sheltering the Zhao family and Park Huotai, it was obviously no difficult task for him to finish off Brother Gambling!
"Is the machine broken?" Wei Zhao walked over, glanced at Brother Gambling, and asked mildly, "Old Master Pi, why don't you help him fix it?"
"Uh... it's not broken... no need to fix it..." When Brother Gambling saw Old Master Pi step forward and walk toward him, he was so frightened he nearly lost control of his bladder. A Heaven-rank expert! Have a Heaven-rank expert fix his machine? He might as well fix Brother Gambling!
If he still could not hear the displeasure in Wei Zhao's words, then all his years in this business had been wasted!
"If it's not broken, what are you doing here?" Wei Zhao asked in return.
"I... uh... right, I saw this young lady win a great deal of money, and I was afraid someone might do her harm, rob her, so I brought some security men to protect her! That's all it was!" Brother Gambling said hastily, seizing on the idea.
"Is that so?" Wei Zhao naturally knew Brother Gambling was talking nonsense.
"Of course, miss, you can keep playing..." Brother Gambling's heart was bleeding. Keep playing, and he would go bankrupt!
"Forget it, it's no fun. Arrow Brand Bro, you look hurt—is it serious?" Seeing Wei Zhao covered in blood, Shen Yushu naturally had no interest in playing any longer.
"I'm fine. If you're done playing, let's go home." Wei Zhao did not want to linger in the casino either; he wanted to get back and tend his wounds and recover his stamina and true qi as quickly as possible, so he had no wish to waste time here.
"Oh, okay." Shen Yushu could also tell Wei Zhao was badly hurt, so she gave up the idea of continuing and said to Brother Gambling, "Cash out the chips and transfer the money."
"This..." Brother Gambling could only smile bitterly. "Miss, our casino doesn't have that much liquid capital right now. Could you possibly give me a few days' grace?"
Brother Gambling had shed his earlier arrogance and turned cautious, which filled the onlookers with utter contempt. By now they all understood that Brother Gambling had been bullying the weak and fearing the strong; presumably he had been frightened by these people and no longer dared argue, and could only cash out the chips—except... did he still seem to want to welch on the debt?
"No money? A casino as big as yours, and you don't even have twenty million in liquid capital?" Shen Yushu naturally did not believe it.
"This... to be honest with you, my daughter was kidnapped earlier, and the kidnappers just extorted twenty million from me. Right now, for the moment, I truly can't scrape together that much. Could you grant me a month's grace? Just one month..." Brother Gambling said rather helplessly, thinking to himself how unlucky he had been lately: first his daughter kidnapped by some unknown force, and now he had offended a whole pack of cultivators, including a Heaven-rank expert!
"Fine. Whatever money you have now, transfer it to me first." Wei Zhao actually believed Brother Gambling, because he had just seen someone being kidnapped, and Qiu Lingshan was working that very case, so he did not press him.
"I have five or six million right now," Brother Gambling said gratefully.
"Transfer that for now. The rest, give me when you have it," Wei Zhao said.
