Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 90: Who are the Sacred Beings?
Although the voices of the surrounding guests were not loud, but Jia Ruidao and his three disciples could still hear them clearly. The same expression could be seen on their faces. Especially for Jia Yelei, her handsome and graceful face had turned red with anger.
Tang Xiu walked towards Jia Yelei's side and spoke lightly, “If you can't even endure such shame and humiliation, you won't go too far in your life. We may also directly admit our losses and lose gambling houses today. ”
“…”
The burning anger within Jia Yelei was as if it was extinguished by ice water and completely extinguished. The hope he had right now was for Tang Xiu to take all back and take their revenge. If Tang Xiu lost the gambling house today, then they would bite the bullet and lose all their hopes.
“Master Tang, please calm down. I'll do as you say, “ replied Jia Yelei and bowed.
Tang Xiu nodded. Then, he stepped onto Jacobs' steps from the luxurious docked passenger car.
Passenger explorers are 135.06 meters long, 16.5 meters wide, 24320 tons Gross Register Tonnage with a height of 10.3 meters at the top of the water channel to the main deck. The ship is capable of carrying 2,000 passengers and crew. It had a 4-layer deck, with the lowest being engine and power space. The second deck is the main deck for the passenger room, the third deck is for entertainment and recreational areas such as the dining room, multipurpose room, karaoke, gym, and other fun and entertainment. And the casino is precisely located on the upper deck.
Jia Ruidao was already familiar with the layout, as the five of them then entered each passenger room on the second deck. They quietly waited for the passenger explorers to sail out to sea. Gambling is illegal by law, so explorers would sail into international waters whenever gambling houses were held.
“The power of science and technology really cannot be underestimated!”
After Tang Xiu got tired of staying alone in the room, he then went outside to the deck. Passenger explorers are already sailing, but move slowly when crashing into the waves and wind. There was only a vast, boundless ocean around along the entire length of the screen. Many tourists have gone out to enjoy the view of the sea, causing the atmosphere to become noisy. Tang Xiu, who wanted a calm scene, frowned. He looked around before his eyes fell and stopped at the glass window on the fourth deck.
On the fourth deck …
Tang Xiu entered the beautiful scenery room and sat by the window. There's only a few people here. Only 2 or 3 people sat there as they spoke in low whispers.
“Hah?”
A few minutes later, a successful looking middle-aged man surrounded by a group of men came, making a loud noise. The middle-aged man approached and came in front of Tang Xiu.
“Halo, Mr. Tang.”
The first time he saw Tang Xiu, Miao Wentang originally wanted to leave immediately, as seeing Tang Xiu reminded him of the embarrassing event where he humiliated himself last night. However, he had no choice but to admit that Tang Xiu was extremely powerful. After pondering and criticizing himself for one night, he admitted that he was wrong. He was the one who spoke inappropriately, and ended up saying and doing something wrong. After she admitted it, a feeling of admiration towards Tang Xiu was spontaneously born in her heart.
“Ah, is this you?” Tang Xiu's brows furrowed. A cold and detached expression appeared on his face.
Miao Wentang deeply felt Tang Xiu's demeanor as a feeling of awkwardness and shame suddenly surfaced in his heart. She thickened her face because she wanted to mend her relationship with Tang Xiu and also wanted to know more about him. Then, he directly said, “Mr. Tang, I didn't sleep last night and did some self-reviewing and contemplation. I'd like to apologize to you for my words and attitude last night. So, I sincerely ask if you can forgive Me. ” [1]
Tang Xiu sat tight and firm as if a mountain. He nonchalantly said, “Your attitude is commendable.”
Miao Wentang quickly said, “This is my fault, so of course I have to fix it myself. Mr. Tang, I wanted to make amends yesterday. I Hope You can give Me a face today and let Me invite You to Paradise Club. So I can officially apologize to you. ”
“No need!” Tang Xiu immediately refused.
The few middle-aged men around Miao Wentang were all elite businessmen. For people like them, their status and identity were taken for granted, and it was only natural that others respected them. And Tang Xiu's attitude touched their bottom line, as Miao Wentang was their honored guest. But, Tang Xiu did not even give a face and boldly rejected Miao Wentang. This meant that he also humiliated them.
“Sister Miao, this guy?” A middle-aged man could not accept Tang Xiu's attitude, so he asked openly.
Miao Wentang was still staring at Tang Xiu with an awkward and embarrassed expression, but the sudden question of the middle-aged man suddenly pulled him away from the awkward situation. Although he could barely escape from that embarrassing situation, but he was a veteran businessman who had gone through a lot and met a lot of people. She was smart enough to say that Tang Xiu did not want to be bothered. So he replied with a simple introduction, “This is Mr. Tang.”
Immediately, Miao Wentang took the business card holder out of his pocket and placed his business card on the table in front of Tang Xiu and said, “Master Tang, this is my business card. If you have time, you can call me anytime. I owe you one. ”
After saying that, he did not even ask for Tang Xiu's business card. He turned around and nodded to the people around him and then walked towards another beautiful room. Several fellow businessmen around him looked at each other, as their hearts were filled with puzzles and mysteries.
Who her? Is he a holy creature?
Miao Wantang was the president of the Qingzhou Miao Group, a very famous and powerful figure throughout Qingzhou. In addition, he is also rumored to be a very formidable martial artist, and his security services company is listed in the top 10 across the country. But, how did such a powerful figure become so timid in front of a young man?
These few business elites of Jingmen Island exchanged glances. Then, they took out their business cards and placed them on the table in front of Tang Xiu. They introduced themselves with the simplest words and then quickly followed Miao Wentang to leave.
“These people are so boring!” Tang Xiu muttered in his heart. He grabbed and looked at some business cards but did not put them in his pocket. Dealing with other people is not his forte because he is not good at interpersonal relationships. Even when he was in the Eternal World, he …
Recalling past events made Tang Xiu's mood subside. Due to Jia Ruidao's matter, he wasted a few days, so he firmly decided that, regardless of the result of winning or losing, he should end this matter completely today. After which, he had to find a large amount of medicinal herbs, rare ores, and precious materials to aid his cultivation.
In another beautiful view room …
A middle-aged man turned his head and glanced at Tang Xiu. Then, he looked at Miao Wentang and whispered, “Sister Miao, that boy surnamed Tang, what's the origin? And where did it come from? A brat like him won't even give you a face? ”
Miao Wentang's smile let out a forced and wry smile and said, “You should have heard about the event at Everlasting Feast Hall last night, huh? Shao Mingzhen and I have broken through to the third layer of the Thousand Revolution Array. And we become honored guests of the Eternal Celebration Hall. But he ... he amazingly went into the sixth layer. ”
“What?”
“How is it possible?”
“Heaven!”
A flabbergasted expression suddenly revealed on the skin of the Jingmen Island business elite as they immediately exclaimed loudly in shock.
Miao Wentang smiled wryly, “Your shocked expression also happened to me. I don't think that's possible. But the fact is there, and I witnessed it personally, so how could I make a mistake about it? The reason I apologized to him was because I ridiculed and mocked him before he challenged the Thousand Revolution Array, and I embarrassed My own face. ”
A middle-aged man whispered, “Sister Miao, but he is too young! I know he's under 20. How could he be that strong? ”
Miao Wentang smiled, “You can ask me, but to whom should I ask? In short, with such talent and intelligence, it is better that we do not provoke this unexpected young man. In this world, having many friends is much better than having many enemies. ”
“Ya Yes!” Those people nodded and obeyed him repeatedly.
Noon, 1:50 noon …
Tang Xiu came to the casino on the fourth deck. Many people come to casinos today. Casinos are filled with all kinds of gambling machines, items, and tools, as they are surrounded by gamblers who want to try their skills. Paradise Club provides gambling venues but does not involve itself in gambling fights. However, for every gambling game held here, they get a 1% stake for the total amount of money wagered on the table. But, even though it was only 1%, given the number of days and people who gambled, it was fortunately quite large.
“Master Tang, the gambling house will be held in the VIP private room. My master is waiting for you in the VIP room. “Gong Dalong was waiting at the Casino Hall when he immediately approached and respectfully greeted Tang Xiu as soon as he saw him.
“It seems that only a few minutes are left before gambling betting is held. Lead the way and let's finish the game. Besides, I still have other things to take care of .. “Tang Xiu nodded and said.
“Alright!” Gong Dalong respectfully complied.
The VIP private room was several hundred square meters in size, with all kinds of gambling tools already set up. Apart from Jia Ruidao and his students, and Chen Kai with his highly paid professional gambler, Ye Taifu, there were hundreds of people who came to watch. The people who are qualified to enter this VIP private gambling room are of exceptional status. They should at least get recommendations from others before they are allowed to enter. Other than Miao Wentang, among the spectators, there were also some elites of the business circle from Jingmen Island.
Miao Wantang also saw Tang Xiu's arrival. But an empty expression suddenly revealed on his face as Tang Xiu seemed to know the party that was going to gamble. Some others also looked at each other in confusion.
Although there are many people in the VIP private room, but orderly with more than 20 black-clad security guards in the room to ensure that there will be no distractions in the gambling house trip.
“Ah, you have finally come, Brother Tang! The game is about to start! ”Jia Ruidao and the others who were already burning with anxiety and impatience, quickly greeted him.
Tang Xiu said, “Quiet, I know my wisdom.”
He looked at Chen Kai across the table and could see an erratic expression from his eyes. Instead, the bald middle-aged man by his side looked extremely excited and rubbed his hands. Tang Xiu stepped forward. Under the gazes of all the spectators, he looked at the middle-aged man and spoke in a deep tone, “You Ye Taifu? A professional gambler from Macau, called the Golden Finger, huh? ”
The middle-aged man raised his chin and looked at Tang Xiu with disdain and said, “That's me, yes. And who are you? Jia Ruidao had lost her gamble and then she did not dare to play. So now, you will bet as his replacement ?! ”
Tang Xiu pulled out a chair and sat on the opposite side of Ye Taifu. He nonchalantly said, “Ya. Today I'll play with you. But, I'm afraid people are afraid of problems and don't like complicated gambling, how? ”
Yutai Fu asked, “How simple?”
Tang Xiu said, “How about we play Tie Golden Flower and compare the numbers?”
Tie the Golden Flower and compare the numbers?
Ye Taifu sized up Tang Xiu with a strange expression. He chuckled and then smiled, “You sure you want to bet by comparing cards? But I have to tell you in advance, I don't want to have a small gambling bet ... What about 1 million in deposits as the lowest stake? Do you dare? ”
“Why should I be afraid? Agree! ”Cold rays flashed in Tang Xiu's eyes as he happily replied.
\[1\] A saintly being here means as a respected person/very skilled but not known to the public.
\[2\] I have to cut the line here for the words Miao Wentang .. I don't want to write the entire contents of the idiom and cut to the point because it's boring if I find it all the time. It was too long to apologize. Polite words to apologize in Mandarin, but translating them into English will take a lot of words …
