Chapter 804: Two Fat Sheep
Chapter 804: Two Fat Sheep
"This is the deal, today my younger brother and a man named Lin Feng are about to go to your gambling ship to gamble against you. I hope you can win against them decisively. Rest assured, that Lin Feng has a lot of money, and I’m worried that he might exceed your appetite. How does that sound, isn’t it good news?"
Huang Yu said this with a laugh, clearly aware of the female Gambling King Catherine’s capabilities—one of the top three gambling kings in the world, undefeated. However, she had a rule, that anyone who wanted to gamble against her had to do it on her gambling ship. That’s why he went through the trouble to invite Catherine over, aiming to have her beat Huang Shi, fulfilling his previous intentions. Although Huang Shi was beaten, the final outcome had been beyond his expectations. Now, he could only rely on Catherine to win against Lin Feng and thereby release his pent-up frustration.
Of course, he had other motives; when inviting Catherine over, he had already agreed with her on a 40/60 split. If Lin Feng lost this time, the money he would get could be astronomical. The thought alone thrilled him—although he had lost the company’s shares, if Catherine won against Lin Feng this time, his share would far exceed his anticipations. Lin Feng was very wealthy, so the sum lost would definitely be astronomical.
In Huang Yu’s view, basically no one in the world could beat Catherine, hence Lin Feng and Huang Shi were inevitably doomed to lose. Just the thought of Catherine winning meant he could suddenly become wealthy. Even if the company’s shares were gone, it didn’t matter. What he would gain this time would be much more than he initially expected. That outcome was something he could reluctantly accept. With so much capital, he could even start his own company.
"Hehe, this really is good news. If it’s as you say, rest assured, I will make sure those two lose everything," Catherine chuckled.
Hearing Huang Yu say this, Catherine felt joyful inside as she clearly understood Huang Yu’s implication—these two were ripe for the taking. In front of Catherine, no one had ever won money before. This time, she was sure to have a big harvest, and it’s no wonder she was elated.
Thinking this, Catherine’s mood was greatly uplifted, and her tone became even more coquettishly charming as she giggled responding to Huang Yu, also firmly deciding in her heart that if these men dared to board the ship, she would definitely strip them clean. She had no doubts about Huang Yu’s words—Huang Yu wouldn’t dare to lie to her, having witnessed the capabilities of her bodyguard. Even if Huang Yu had the guts, he wouldn’t dare to deceive her!
With this, the trip to Tianhai could be smoothly concluded, and the harvest this time would be enough for her to take a break for a while...
"That settles it, hearing Miss Catherine say this, I feel at ease too. By the way, Miss Catherine, about last time—" As Huang Yu heard Catherine speak, he too was relieved. As long as Catherine took it seriously, Lin Feng and Huang Shi had no chance of resisting. They were definitely going to lose, a fact that brought him extreme joy.
Then, Huang Yu couldn’t help but ask about the division of the previous bet revenue—nearly forty million US Dollars. How could he not be ecstatic about that? However, for fear of offending Catherine, he didn’t make his meaning explicit. Given Catherine’s intelligence, she would certainly know what he meant.
"Huang Yu, the last time’s revenue didn’t reach the level you promised, so I gave you just a 20% share. As for today’s game, let’s talk about it afterwards. Just make sure that Lin Feng and Huang Shi really have that much money, then we can discuss the rest."
Catherine knew exactly what Huang Yu meant, but she had no intentions of fulfilling their previous agreement. As she saw it, a 40% share was too high; Huang Yu had not achieved what he promised last time, so giving him a 20% share was enough. Even if Huang Yu had any ideas, he couldn’t do anything about it—who cares about a mere twenty million less; it’s still better than giving it away for free!
However, Catherine was more eager to see how much money would be won this time. Thinking about what Huang Yu had mentioned earlier, she became even more excited, already planning in her mind what to do once those two board the ship...
"That’s... fine! Let’s do it that way, but I would like to settle last time’s money first, is that possible?" Upon hearing Catherine say this, Huang Yu nearly jumped up in anger, never expecting Catherine to be so eager to snatch his 20% share. This infuriated him to the core; he nearly smashed his phone!
But after his initial rage, Huang Yu felt extremely helpless. He knew Catherine’s capabilities—he truly had no standing to negotiate terms with Catherine. That Catherine would leave him a 20% share was not bad after all. If Catherine really got angry, he might not even get that last 20%, something he did not want to see.
Now, he had decided, to avoid further complications, it would be best to get the share in hand first; otherwise, it was uncertain what might happen next. It was safer to have the money in hand. With this in mind, Huang Yu could only suppress the anger in his heart and speak to Catherine in a calm and level-headed manner.
"No problem, just come to the gambling ship," Catherine responded, knowing Huang Yu had conceded. This was also good, preventing any unnecessary issues. With that, Catherine directly instructed Huang Yu to come aboard, planning to transfer the money directly to him. After all, Huang Yu had brought her these two big prizes; giving him some share was only fair.
After finishing the call, Catherine walked towards a large mirror, looking at her reflection with a smile growing on her face—thinking of the two big prizes that had taken the bait. This time, she certainly had to take full advantage, after completing this deal, it was time to leave Tianhai...
On the other hand, Huang Yu was frowning, extremely irritated by Catherine, but faced with such a situation, he was helpless. Since Catherine had agreed, what was he waiting for? He immediately left the room, got in his car, and drove straight to the yacht club at the port.
Now, he was becoming impatient, truly afraid that if he was late, even that remaining 20% would be swallowed up by Catherine—that would be a total loss...
Lin Feng and Huang Shi arrived at the port and directly boarded Huang Shi’s yacht to the high seas, where they went aboard a gambling ship. As they set foot on the gambling ship, they were greeted by curious gazes from the people lounging on the deck.
"Isn’t that Huang Shi?"
"Uh? Who’s this guy?"
"Didn’t Huang Shi lose nearly a hundred million US dollars last time? Why is he here again?"
"Who’s the one walking in front of Huang Shi?"
...
There were many gamblers at the casino, and they were all from Tianhai. Many recognized Huang Shi immediately, their eyes filled with surprise. They wondered how Huang Shi, having lost 96 million US dollars last time, could possibly be here again. Could it be that Huang Shi had come to gamble again?
How could that be? After losing 96 million US dollars, how could the Huang Family allow Huang Shi to gamble again? It simply wasn’t possible. What on earth was going on? What was Huang Shi doing on the gambling ship? Despite much speculation, they couldn’t figure it out. Everyone focused on Huang Shi, who appeared particularly indifferent, hoping to discern from his gaze what he intended to do, but to no avail.
What puzzled them even more was the young man joining Huang Shi on the gambling ship. From the moment they boarded, this man had walked in front of Huang Shi. What puzzled them more was Huang Shi willingly walking behind the young man. What was going on? Who exactly was this young man?
They were all very familiar with Huang Shi. Among the youths in Tianhai, there wasn’t a single person deserving of Huang Shi’s subservience, yet... yet the young man in front of them had managed to achieve it. They all saw in Huang Shi’s gaze that he was genuinely willing to follow behind the young man, behaving almost like a subordinate. This was utterly incredible; had they not witnessed it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed such a thing could happen.
In their eyes, someone like Huang Shi would never submit to anyone. The Huang Family, being such a prominent family, would never allow Huang Shi to act as someone’s subordinate. This raised questions about the identity of the young man. At the very least, they were sure of one thing: this young man wasn’t one of Tianhai’s notable youths. Simultaneously, they all thought of the Capital. Could this young man be from the Capital? With this thought, suspicion filled their eyes as they shifted their gaze from Huang Shi to Lin Feng, trying to determine who he was.
Lin Feng and Huang Shi, unfazed by the stares, calmly walked into the gambling ship. For them, their purpose here today was to recover Huang Shi’s losses—there was no need to concern themselves with what others thought. They were indifferent to the opinions of others.
As the two walked into the inner part of the gambling ship, they attracted even more attention. Upon seeing Huang Shi with a young man this time, curiosity surged, and all eyes were upon Lin Feng, sparking a flurry of whispers.
"Um, who is this young man?"
"Don’t know, never seen him around Tianhai before."
"Wait, he looks kind of familiar."
"What does it matter? In the days we’ve been here, Catherine has already won so much money. Is Huang Shi really here to turn his fortunes around?"
"Do we even need to ask? If not to win back his losses, why else would Huang Shi come to the gambling ship?"
"How could that possibly happen? What basis does Huang Shi have to win back his fortune? Could this young man be some kind of gambling god?"
"Are you joking? Do you think a gambling god is as common as cabbage? They’re not just found anywhere."
"Well..."
