Urban Ace Bodyguard

Chapter 1194 - 1263: The Gathering of the Three Gambling Kings

"Clap, clap!"The sound of applause came through.

A young man with pale skin and handsome features, dressed in a tailcoat, walked out.

Judging by his appearance, he looked like he was just over twenty, and his standard young man's looks could probably charm many young women to death.

"I thought you looked familiar earlier, but I never expected to see the Spades Queen's 'Shifting Flower and Wood' in person today."

The man stared at Lei Jing, displaying a gentlemanly smile.

"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that South Korea's first-class gambling expert would join the Eighth Prince's ranks." Lei Jing also gazed at him, showing a hint of being on high alert.

The man glanced briefly at Lin Hai. After seeing Lin Hai's rough hands, he seemed to lose interest in him and focused his attention back on Lei Jing, saying, "If you're here to help Lin Hai, then you're making a huge mistake today. Besides me, there are two Gambling Kings here. With your first-class gambling skills, it's unlikely you can turn the tables."

Lei Jing snorted coldly, "What big words. If my elder brother were here, I wonder if you would still dare to speak like that?"

"Haha, Thunderbolt Hand Lei Hao hasn't been active internationally for years. You should know, people do improve." The man said with a smile.

"Is that so? I wonder if Mr. Jin's injuries from his duel with my brother years ago have healed?" Lei Jing's tone was unapologetic.

The man's face turned unpleasant, and those black eyes that could draw many girls became dark.

"In your Huaxia, there's an old saying: 'When someone returns after a brief separation, they should be viewed with new eyes.' It's been so many years, I, Jin Ye, would love to compete with Lei Hao again, to see if his Thunderbolt Hand or my Night Phantom is stronger!"

"What the hell?"

Upon hearing the man's name, Lin Hai's eyes widened. He hurriedly said to Ouyang Xiaoya, "Honey, this guy is such a fake. Listen to his name; it just screams rogue, tsk tsk, Jin 'Ye'."

Ouyang Xiaoya rolled her eyes in exasperation, thinking that even at this moment, the dead beast still didn't forget to stir up trouble.

Jin Ye's face immediately turned ashen as he glared at Lin Hai.

Lin Hai's voice wasn't masked, although he spoke softly, it was loud enough for those nearby to hear clearly.

"Your words lack decorum." Jin Ye said coldly.

Lin Hai retorted fearlessly, "I'm just stating facts. Besides, we're here to see the Eighth Prince. Who do you think you are, daring to stand in our way?!"

"What did you say, sumida!" Jin Ye stared daggers at Lin Hai.

"I said a good dog doesn't block the path, or are your ears not working?"

Jin Ye's fists clenched with a cracking sound, "Believe me, I can make your death extremely unpleasant."

"Haha, I'd give that crap of yours a score of two, just for consolation."

"You'll regret that!"

Suddenly, Jin Ye had five playing cards in each hand, which he flicked toward Lin Hai's neck with a whoosh.

Lei Jing quickly threw the playing cards in her hand.

Clang, clang—

The air was filled with sounds like metal clashing.

Jin Ye's cards and Lei Jing's cards all fell to the ground.

Clearly, these were not ordinary playing cards. The cards from both of them cracked the cement pavement, revealing half of themselves.

Ouyang Xiaoya tensed up inside for Lin Hai. If these cards hit a person's neck, it was clear what the consequences would be.

"Damn, do you want to commit murder in broad daylight? This is Yanjing!"

Zhuge Jianguo took out his phone and threatened.

Seeing his attack successfully countered, and with just five cards from the opponent neutralizing his ten cards, Jin Ye's expression grew more irritated.

"Enough, Mr. Jin, the Eighth Master instructed that while we can make money in Huaxia, we shouldn't be too blatant. Huaxia's authorities are not like those in your Han Country; they're quite formidable." The tattooed black-clad man reminded, subtly blocking Jin Ye at the same time.

"Hmph, the Spades Queen's gambling skills are truly exquisite. Let's settle this in the casino!"

With that, Jin Ye snorted angrily and turned to enter the casino.

"Mr. Lin, do you still think it's necessary to meet our Eighth Master?" the tattooed black-clad man asked.

Lin Hai smiled. Clearly, the other party was trying to intimidate him into backing off.

"Of course, why not? I also plan to have a good chat about the principles of being a decent person." Lin Hai replied with a smile.

The black-clad man nodded, "You are very courageous."

"Spare me the theatrics. Lead the way."

"Alright!"

The black-clad man wasn't annoyed and turned to lead the way.

On the surface, this place looked like a small cinema of sorts.

But in reality, underground was the Eighth Prince's casino.

The interior design was very much like a scene from a Gambling God movie, clearly a deliberate choice by the Eighth Prince.

Soon, under the guidance of the tattooed black-clad man, Lin Hai and the others smoothly entered the casino.

On the way, there were security personnel patrolling, apparently to ensure customers could gamble safely and perhaps to thwart any sudden police raids.

The group soon arrived at the casino lobby.

It was almost identical to a scene from a Gambling God movie. On either side of the entrance were spiral staircases, and in the center was the largest baccarat table. Surrounding it were roughly a dozen different gambling tables, all of which were currently busy with customers placing bets.

Among them were some reckless gamblers who were dragged out by expressionless security staff after making frantic outbursts.

Waitstaff weaved through tables, some helping guests exchange chips, others providing drinks and cigars.

Ouyang Xiaoya and her companions, visiting such a place for the first time, couldn't help but curiously look around. To them, everything here felt full of curiosity and adventure.

Lin Hai casually took in the surroundings, noting a considerable number of personnel subtly stationed around—clearly indicating that the Eighth Prince was a cautious individual.

Considering this, it made sense. Anyone who could open a casino in Yanjing was unlikely to be a simple-minded individual.

Eventually, his gaze settled on the large central gambling table.

There, four chairs were set up, each occupied by a different person.

Aside from Jin Ye, whom they'd encountered earlier, there were three other strangers with arrogant faces.

One was a man with bandaged hands, resembling a Muay Thai fighter, with a menacing scar near his left eye.

Another was dressed in a black suit, his gaze full of malice and aggression, exuding an air of chill and terrifying strength.

The last was a person with a lazy demeanor, but the occasional flicker in his eyes suggested that the entire casino was beneath his notice.

"The one with the bandages is a Gambling King from Thailand, Baniesg. He has a twin brother who's also a gambling expert."

"The man in the black suit is a gambling woman from the Philippines named Li Shengli, who rivals my brother in skill."

"And the last one, the strongest among the four, is the Gambling King of all South Asia, Chou Jiu. It's said that even if he's utterly naked, he can magically hide a hundred cards, and even the most advanced equipment can't detect how he cheats."

Lei Jing spoke with a tone full of concern, clearly not expecting that such three Gambling Kings would be present at the insignificant Eighth Prince's casino.
