Chapter 8 8 Casino situation

*

"Bang!"

The heavy card table was opened by the man, cards were flying in the sky, and brilliant gold coins were scattered all over the floor with a clanking sound.

The atmosphere in the casino was quiet for a moment due to the sudden movement. For a while, only the sound of people breathing could be heard, but then the noise started again, and the atmosphere in the casino was still lively, as if the previous pause was just a kind of silence that never existed.

illusion.

A group of people who were watching the excitement gradually gathered around the card table, completely blocking the way out.

"What happened?"

"Ah...it's that pirate..."

"What? What? Is it going to start again?"

One by one, they couldn't see any trace of the panic and worry that ordinary people would have about chaos. On the contrary, they were whispering to each other, and their faces were all full of excitement and excitement that they were about to eat something.

Li Guanqi: “…………”

It seems that this is not the first time something like this has happened here.

Li Guanqi looked at the expressions on the faces of the people around him with a nonchalant attitude, thinking that all the good people in the world were just average. In a hall full of people, there was no one who could help a weak person like her.

The righteous heart of the students who secretly called the police.

Tsk, tsk, tsk... What a declining world, what a desolate human heart, what a desolate world.

As the saying goes, if you don't help someone when you see someone being bullied, you are an accomplice.

Li Guanqi did not dare to compliment the moral character of these "good people". Even though she had long understood that good people were like this, when the facts were faced, she still felt sincerely that there was a bottom line and a lower limit for being a human being.

That's good.

Li Guanqi withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened, and looked again at the still angry man in front of him, sighing silently in his heart.

Alas... now this person is also lacking in great virtue.

"You are cheating!!"

The man roared angrily. His face turned red and his eyes were bloodshot. He was full of the anger of a gambler who was angry because he lost a card.

"Do you think you have won these gold coins? No! You despicable bastard! Dirty poor man! I will kill you! So that you pay for your actions!"

"You can't accuse someone wrongly just by talking about it. What's more, you said I was a cheater, but you have no evidence."

Facing the man's doubts and anger, Li Guanqi sat calmly on his chair and smiled politely. Even when the man standing opposite became angry and flashed his knife in anger, he still had an indifferent look on his face, "That's it?"

"I'm willing to admit defeat, sir." Li Guanqi waved his hand, as if greeting a puppy, and asked the casino waiter to come over and collect the gold coins on the ground and put them into bags. "This is an unchanging rule in the casino."

"...I didn't lose!"

The man looked at Li Guanqi in a daze. Although he was still angry because he failed to deceive people, he was deceived instead, but he was also wary at the same time.

After all, someone who can kill an admiral's wife and child and still escape unscathed must not be a brainless idiot.

Although the man was targeted by the navy and abandoned his identity as a pirate and became depressed, his murderous and sadistic nature did not change.

The casino was a geomantic treasure he found after escaping from the sea.

A man born with an evil face, coupled with a tall figure, allows a man to show off his power and domineering in the casinos of various small countries by virtue of his strength value, which is not even ranked in the Grand Line.

According to past experience, when he sneers and shows a fierce look, the most common thing he sees is that people's faces turn pale, showing panic and fearful expressions.

But no matter what, it shouldn't be like Li Guanqi, who is indifferent, unaware of the impending disaster, and can even talk to you calmly with a smile.

This guy's reaction is abnormal.

Speaking of which, it was the same when I entered the casino before...

This guy didn't hesitate at all and came directly to him... Damn it, could it be a scam?

Thinking of this, the man was somewhat frightened, so facing Li Guanqi's confident attitude, he subconsciously softened his tone and restrained his anger unconsciously, "...This makes no sense at all. There is no way I can lose everything to you.

!”

"Haha, you're so funny. Gambling is unreasonable, sir." Li Guanqi shook his head and said with a smile, "What's more, I'm very lucky today."

"You are so lucky that you can win all my gold coins with two gold coins?! That's a full one hundred and fifty gold coins, boy!" the man said through gritted teeth, with a fierce expression on his face, "I don't believe you can

Such a good life!"

Yes, I think so too. Li Guanqi nodded and agreed with the man's statement. As soon as three came out, three more came out. What a good life.

"It's because you are lucky that you can win money."

Lazily throwing away the three [A] cards in his hand, Li Guanqi shrugged, "Besides, I didn't really just use two gold coins to win your money, sir."

man:"…………"

"Two arms, two legs, and a pair of eyes."

Li Guanqi stood up from the chair, opened his hands, and slowly turned around in a circle as if displaying goods, then sat back on the chair again, straightened his back, and nodded to the man politely and reservedly.

, "This is a bargaining chip that you personally selected and approved, sir."

"...But you are cheating, you are cheating!" The man stared into Li Guanqi's eyes and raised his voice, "This doesn't count at all."

"Don't count? But in this gambling game, you pick the chips, you decide the game, you get new cards, and even the right to shuffle the cards is always firmly in your hands. If this is the case,

If you can't even count, how can you count? Bet until you win?"

Li Guanqi spread his hands, with a look of helplessness on his face, an expression that said, "I'm easy to talk to, but can you really act unreasonably like a child?" He looked particularly hooligan in such an occasion.

"If you really think so, the slaughterhouse can satisfy your requirements better than the casino. Not only that, sir, they may even give you money there, so why do you come here to find pleasure?"

The crowd around him burst into laughter because of this humorous description, and this made the good-looking man so angry that he yelled - "But you were the one who dealt the cards!!"

"It makes sense, sir, and it doesn't prove anything."

Li Guanqi almost laughed out loud because of the man's angry look, so he cleared his throat tactically, maintained a calm look, and continued, "Since you think I'm cheating, you can catch me on the spot, so you can now

It’s empty talk and, to put it bluntly, it’s slander.”

"Slander? I slandered you? How is that possible?!"

The man wanted to take action, but Li Guanqi's fearless attitude convinced him that there must be a scam. If he really wanted to take action, he might fall into this kid's trap and lose his life.

Wait... Xiao Ming?

Why did he think this bean sprout, which looked not yet adult, would threaten his life?

Cold sweat unknowingly climbed up the man's forehead. Although his subconscious told him that admitting defeat at this time was the best choice, his habit of doing evil all the time made him feel angry at Li Guanqi's attitude.

"What nonsense are you talking about anymore?!"

"Okay, then you just think I'm talking nonsense." Li Guanqi nodded indifferently, as if he said, "I don't care about my son." He continued to ask kindly, "Sir, what do you want to do? I'll give you back the gold coins."

Bet?"

"...Okay! That's it!" The man was silent for a moment, and then agreed with a ferocious expression, "Give me back the gold coins, and let's gamble again!"

The crowd began to commotion. After all, the man's behavior was so rogue that they who watched the excitement despised the man's behavior.

However, even so, no one stood up and accused the man of rogue behavior.

After all, it's none of their business, and no matter how much they despise men's behavior, they can never become the kind of heroes who draw their swords to help when the road is rough.

Yes, they are just a group of gamblers who are watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

"...You are really shameless." Li Guanqi paused and smiled, "Okay, let's do it like this, but I don't have that much time, so let's go a little crazy and showhand.

)Bar."

"Then the same goes for you...not just the gold coins! It also includes your two arms, two legs, and your eyes! You have to stake them all too!"

Li Guanqi: “…………”

Good guy, you can really climb up by borrowing a pole!

Li Guanqi was not surprised by the man's behavior. After all, he was an old man with low morals and zero credibility. Whatever he did was normal.

It's just quite jarring.

He was fucking like a wild dog, staring at her hands, her legs, and her eyes, with the full intention of killing her, wanting to bite her to death!

No grievances and no grudges...how outrageous, isn't it?

Li Guanqi felt sincerely angry about this. Although she still maintained a smiling appearance, an emotion called anger began to boil and burn in her blood silently, like a cannonball.

Her mind was racing.

After all, there is a saying from our ancestors - I will not offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, then I will kill him!

Hiss, what a famous quote! How well said! Li Guanqi just wanted to applaud.

"Okay, after all, it's stud! You shuttle and I shuttle, and we all have a lot of fun together!" Li Guanqi nodded slightly. She still maintained her smile, as if she was wearing a mask that could only smile, "But it's the same

Yes, you also have to bet on your hands, feet and eyes, otherwise it would be unfair to me. You know, I have been accommodating you from the beginning, sir."

man:"…………"

The man was silent, his face changing. He thought for a long time, wondering whether he should just give up, accept defeat, and then leave.

But he thought about it for a long time, and in the end, greed for money and the desire to kill the weak took the upper hand.

"It's a bet!"

"Okay, then, before the bet is officially established, I'll ask you one last time, have you really considered it, sir?"

Li Guanqi asked again as if he was sure. After all, the rabbits of flower farmers are gentle at heart. But before doing anything serious, they must deliberately give people a chance to rein in the situation as a courtesy and to retain basic decency and dignity.

.

"It's not too late to regret it now."

Li Guanqi said this and put away the smile that always hung on her face. She looked at the man expressionlessly, her black and white eyes shining with a strange light like a dead fish.

It doesn't make people feel scared, but it definitely doesn't make people feel comfortable...it's inexplicably creepy.

"You know, don't say you didn't predict what you said."

[And if the other person is not decent——]

"…Stop fucking so much, kid!"

The man shuddered, but still didn't believe that the bean sprouts in front of him could make any big waves. He just instinctively felt angry at his retreat. His eyes turned red, he took a deep breath, and growled, "You're dead!"

[Then let’s help him look decent.]

Li Guanqi: “…………”

Li Guanqi smiled: "Okay."

Oh shit.

Die.

Apologizing is no longer useful.

You should prepare the coffin board!
