"can I/we join in as well?" 'Yang Tie' could clearly hear this words. These word contained some pressure. There were like a majestic person speaking.they had slight commanding tone as well.
"hmm?" 'Yang Tie' glanced to who spoke.
Young Master Chen and Yun had already withdrawn to the back.
They'd embarrassed themselves enough for one night—and more importantly, they had already lost all the money they had brought. With nothing left to bet and pride thoroughly bruised, they couldn't bring themselves to stand at the front any longer.
But one figure remained unmoved.
Young Master Peng still stood there, calm as ever, as if none of it affected him.As if he hadn't just witnessed Yang Tie turn the tables upside down.
He didn't laugh. He didn't sneer.He simply watched.
It seems like he is thinking something but cannot tell what due to his 'poker face'.
The ones who had spoken were none other than Feng Jun, Jing Jhen—with his elegantly dressed girlfriend by his side—and the ever-graceful Lady Ning.
'Yang Tie' gorgeous girlfriend's expression slightly changed. He could feel slightly chilly. He tightly gripped her palm and tried to tell her calm down.
She lightly calmed down.
"can I play as well?" 'Feng Jun' asked with his smiling poker face.
"…" 'Yang tie' gorgeous girlfriend wanted to reject it, but her palm was lightly squeezed. It was 'Yang Tie'. She turned to him.
"…sure…" he squeezed a smile. He had come to earn money. So he only wanted to do that. He has nothing to do with her or this dangerous 'Feng Jun'. he already has his loads of problems. he could not take it anymore. More importantly, this is an unknown person. Although she is beautiful but one shouldn't talk or contact a person they don't know.
Also, he has that 3-month deadline which 'Song Meng' has given, and after nearly 5 month's he has his high school beginning. He cannot offend this person, and also, He cannot stay any longer here and decides to leave.
"Could you guys go home?" 'Fenj Jun' smiled and spoke to the rich kids standing at the back.
.
"sure! Sure!" they were terrified. So, they instantly ran. Only a few were remaining now. Young master Chen' angrily glared at 'Yang Tie' and gritted his teeth. He wanted to teach the poor brat 'Yang Tie' a lesson, but he could not do that now, and he was also afraid of 'Feng Jun'. Just before he went out,
"ouch!" he felt a light pain in his neck. And he went out.
Now, only a few remained at the table.
Everyone else had either lost everything, lost their nerve, or simply faded into the background, unwilling to challenge what was unfolding before them.
The game master remained, of course — as he must.
Yang Tie, seated calmly, his new gorgeous girlfriend beside him, still glowing from their recent string of improbable wins.
Lady Ning, composed and elegant, her eyes scanning the room like a seasoned predator sizing up the hunt.
Jing Jhen, smug and unreadable, with his equally striking girlfriend clinging to his side, amusement dancing in her eyes.
Feng Jun, relaxed but sharp, the kind of man who looked careless but missed nothing.
And off to the side, quietly leaning against the wall, Young Master Peng — not participating, not interfering.Just watching.
"So shall we play?" 'Feng Jun' smiled giving no reason for 'Yang Tie' to avoid.
"of course" 'Yang Tie' lightly spoke. He wanted to avoid him. His intuition tells him that he is very dangerous, but he does not know how to avoid him.
"do you want to continue?" the game master politely asked. He was watching everything silently but spoke nothing. His job was to manage the game for the customer, not butting in their personal business.
"Yes!!" they spoke in unison.
"So now we are going to Level 5?" 'Game Master' politely asked. After a certain depending your win streak, Game Master automatically suggests increasing the game level As per the caisno rules. Otherwise, it can be a loss for the casino. if the Better doesn't want to, they can choose to leave the casino with their wining's or switch to another game.
"y…"
"Wait!!" 'Yang Tie' was interrupted just when he was about to say yes.
"What, sir?" 'Game master' politely asked.
"Let's leave this pointless … and just go straight to level 10?" 'Fenj Jun' suggested.
"This…" 'yang Tie' was slightly taken back. What was this fellow getting at?
"Level 10?" 'Yang tie' spoke.
"yes! Young master tie! What do you say jhen?" 'Feng jun' turned to 'jing jhen' and spoke.
Jing Jhen turned his gaze toward Feng Jun, his eyes narrowing slightly — sharp, calculating, like a hunter sizing up a rival.
His expression seemed to say:What's this foxy fellow up to now?
But he didn't question it.Didn't challenge it.Just gave a small, almost lazy nod.
"Alright… go on," Jing Jhen said coolly.
Feng Jun smirked faintly, as if amused by the unspoken tension, then turned his head toward the quiet figure standing just to the side.
"Miss Ning?"
His tone was polite, but there was a teasing edge behind it — the kind only someone like Feng Jun could get away with.
Lady Ning, as always, remained an enigma. She didn't flinch. Didn't even blink.
She simply stood there, her expression unreadable — calm, mysterious, distant.
And said nothing.
Feng Jun chuckled lightly to himself, not offended in the slightest. He waved a hand as if brushing off the silence.
"As elegant and cryptic as ever."
'Feng Jun' then turned to 'peng', but he acted like he did not care about. There was a slight, unnoticeable change in the expression of 'feng Jun' but soon turned normal.
But one person noticed this. it was 'Yang Tie'.
"so young master tie?" 'Fenj Jun' asked again.
"ok…" 'Yang Tie' had no choice but to go with the flow. But he hesitated slightly.
He really did not want to participate in it. According to the rules of the royal casino, if you win five times in a row, you have to go to the next level, but the payout also increases every 2 levels. At the 10th level, the payout becomes 5 times the winning of the first round, and it is very beneficial for him. But it also has its risks. As the level increases winning chance drastically decreases. Until level 4, he had managed somehow, but it had also become difficult. And level 10 is the last and most difficult. The chance of losing is highest. Also, there is that 100% chance of losing, which he avoided with minimal losses due to his intuition.
"eh! Let me make a call!" 'Feng Jun' made an excuse to make a call.
"Be on alert," Jing Jhen whispered quietly to his girlfriend, his voice low and serious.
She gave a tiny nod, her posture straightening ever so slightly.
'Yang Tie' used his 'Electric Eyes' to see through the wall to look at what 'Feng Jun' is doing. Since his intuition was telling him He was dangerous.
Blurry outlines.
Distorted vision.
Like a signal being jammed.
What…?
Yang Tie frowned slightly. This had never happened before.
After a few seconds 'feng Jun' came. There was no change in his expression. After few minutes a waiter came with drinks. He placed the drinks in front of each person. 'Feng Jun' took a light sip.
Others did not drink even a slight drop of the drinks.
*gulp* 'Yang Tie' was very thirsty, so drank it without thinking about anything.
'This fellow suddenly became an idiot?' Everyone was looking at him, and there was this kind of expression on everyone's face except 'feng jun'. there was a light smile on his face.
"It was slightly different," 'yang tie' thought.
'Why is everyone looking weirdly at me?' 'yang tie' thought.
Just before the waiter left, A faint puff of powder, barely visible, fell from his pocket and scattered briefly in the air.
"I want to go to …!" 'Yang Tie' gorgeous gf wet outside.
Lady 'Ning' also went outside.
Few minutes passed. They did not start the game. They were waiting for 'Ning' and 'yang tie 's gorgeous girlfriend.
They chatted among each other lightly.
…
…
…
Nearly 30 minutes passed.
"Why hasn't she come yet…?"
Yang Tie's gaze drifted toward the entrance, though his expression barely changed. Just a flicker in his eyes.
He was getting slightly restless.
Will girls really take this long for that, even if it's…Even if it's that special case?
Even though she was not related to him, he was worried about her. He was having a slight feeling, but could not tell what it was. Another few minutes passed.
He became more restless. His face became slightly panicked. His heart was telling him that she had not gone home and to go look for her. He was thinking what to.
Another minute passed. Nearly 45 minutes have passed. His intuition was telling him to go look for her.
He finally could not hold back and "Excuse me!!" he rushed out!. Everyone's expression greatly changed. What was he in such a rush for?
He did not look at their expression, and he just rushed out. He was having a real bad feeling that if he did not go now, it would be too late.
