Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 805: Betting on Catherine Again

People inside the gambling ship’s main hall stared at the newly arrived Huang Shi and Lin Feng, all expressing their astonishment. They were equally curious about who this young man accompanying Huang Shi could be, and even more perplexed as to how someone of Huang Shi’s status could possibly follow behind another person. What was going on? Normally, Huang Shi would not behave like this. However, they all knew something: given Huang Shi’s current capabilities, he had to place himself behind someone else, meaning this young man must not be simple.

Despite the curiosity about Huang Shi and Lin Feng’s arrival, the crowd merely murmured among themselves privately, and then that was it. They didn’t believe Huang Shi was here to turn his losses around because that seemed utterly impossible. The female Gambling King on this ship had proven herself formidable over the past few days; the gamblers of Tianhai had all learned from experience. No one could defeat the female Gambling King. So even if Huang Shi was truly here to recover his losses, it was deemed impossible. After losing 96 million US dollars last time, was he really here to throw away more money? Unthinkable!

With these thoughts, they all withdrew their gazes and focused on the games they were playing at their tables, smiles hanging on their lips, preparing to watch Huang Shi lose all his money again. In their view, Huang Shi was definitely set to lose, without a doubt. They themselves didn’t dare to challenge the female Gambling King and simply stuck to playing regular games in the hall for some fun.

"Master Huang, why have you come back?"

"Master Huang, you... you’re back again?"

"Master Huang, you’re here to gamble?"

...

Upon seeing Huang Shi, several of his friends immediately threw down their cards and hurried over to his side. They all knew what had happened two days ago. Huang Shi had lost 96 million US dollars—a massive amount. Even they lacked the courage to come here anymore, so why was Huang Shi back on the gambling ship? Could it be... could it be that Huang Shi wanted to win back his losses?

Thinking this, they started asking with concern. They didn’t want Huang Shi to sink any deeper. These days, Catherine’s notoriety had reached every corner of Tianhai. Many, feeling defiant, had challenged Catherine to a bet, but the truth was, not a single one had won against her. Instead, anyone who gambled with her lost everything. Knowing how fierce Catherine was, what could Huang Shi possibly be thinking by coming here?

Was he really here to challenge Catherine again to recover his losses? That was absolutely out of the question. There was no one in Tianhai, not even in the whole world, who could beat Catherine. If Huang Shi was really here to try and recover his losses by betting against Catherine, they, as his friends, had to stop him no matter what. Continuing to gamble, knowing he would lose, was purely masochistic!

"You guys are here too? Isn’t gambling the whole point of coming to a gambling ship? Besides, I lost so much to Catherine the other day; today I’m here to get it back."

Huang Shi nodded to his friends as a greeting and then explained his purpose for coming. Although his voice was not loud, the surrounding people heard him clearly. After saying this, Huang Shi didn’t say much more, turning his gaze towards Lin Feng in front. Seeing that Lin Feng had nothing to say, he felt more settled. With the Boss here, winning money was definitely not a problem.

What, has Huang Shi gone crazy?

He wants to gamble with Catherine again, is he insane?

Has he lost his mind, how could he possibly win against Catherine?

...

Hearing Huang Shi’s words, everyone around turned their heads towards him, their eyes filled with disbelief. Catherine was so formidable that defeating her seemed impossible, and yet he still thought of winning back his losses from her? That would be foolish; no sane person would do such a thing knowing it was a losing bet. Huang Shi must be crazy if he truly harbored such thoughts.

Thinking this, their eyes filled with sympathetic glances, almost seeing Huang Shi losing a huge sum of money again and leaving in a somber state. In their opinion, Huang Shi defeating Catherine was a mere pipe dream—an impossibility. They had all witnessed Catherine’s incredible gambling skills, which were simply unbeatable. By doing this, Huang Shi was behaving as recklessly as one courting death.

"Master Huang, you really shouldn’t gamble this time!"

"That’s right, Master Huang, Catherine is too tough. Don’t gamble!"

"Master Huang, please listen to your brothers this time. Do not bet with Catherine; you are no match for her!"

...

Huang Shi’s friends became anxious upon hearing his words. They had speculated that Huang Shi came to the gambling ship possibly to gamble with Catherine, but they hadn’t thought their speculations would turn out to be true. Huang Shi was indeed here for Catherine, and knowing how formidable Catherine was, the idea of recovering any losses seemed impossible. As Huang Shi’s friends, they could not simply watch him leap into the fire pit, especially after the great loss he had already suffered last time. They were determined to stop him at all costs.

Thinking this, they immediately surrounded Huang Shi, not wanting him to go and gamble with Catherine, and they all tried to persuade him to abandon his previous idea, resolute not to let Huang Shi engage with Catherine as they could not stand idly by and watch him fall into the pit.

"Thanks for your kindness, but since I’ve come this time, I naturally have full confidence. I don’t engage in unsure bets, so you all don’t need to worry about me,"

Huang Shi was touched by his friends’ concerns and was pleased to have so many caring friends. However, he had come here today with the Boss to retrieve what originally belonged to him. With the Boss present, it was impossible to lose, so Huang Shi simply expressed his gratitude, then broke away from them and walked over to Lin Feng. He then moved ahead of Lin Feng to lead the way directly to Catherine’s room.

What a joke, thinking of winning against Catherine, dream on.

How could that possibly be? If Catherine was that easy to defeat, someone would have beaten her a long time ago.

This Huang Shi is really delusional, thinking he can win and recover his losses. He’d be lucky not to lose his pants!

...

The bystanders, upon hearing Huang Shi’s words, showed even more disdain. They absolutely didn’t believe Huang Shi could ever beat Catherine; it was simply impossible. In fact, they looked forward with great anticipation to see what kind of expression the heir to the Huang Group would have if he lost again.

What! Huang Shi is confident?

How... how could that be? Where does Huang Shi get his confidence?

Who is that young man? Could that be where Huang Shi’s confidence is coming from?

Could it be... could it be that this person is some sort of Gambling King? Otherwise, how else could Huang Shi be so confident?

...

Huang Shi’s friends were rendered speechless upon hearing his assured words, unable to comprehend where his full confidence came from. No one in Tianhai could beat Catherine, so where was Huang Shi’s confidence really coming from? Was it really... the young man before them?

They then noticed Huang Shi had moved over to Lin Feng’s side and observed Huang Shi’s demeanor towards Lin Feng, feeling incredibly puzzled. They wondered who this young man was and why Huang Shi was behaving this way, something unprecedented, as if Huang Shi, a notable heir, was acting like a subordinate by this young man’s side. What... what was going on?

They focused intently on Lin Feng, but no matter how hard they looked, they couldn’t discern any special ability in this young person. However, one thing they confirmed for sure was that among the Tianhai elites, this young man was not known to them. Realizing this, they looked at each other, eyes filled with immense confusion, ignorant of this person’s true background.

But as things had reached this point, they had done what they could. With a deep sense of helplessness, they couldn’t keep Huang Shi from proceeding. It wasn’t their fault, as they watched Huang Shi confidently enter the VIP room with the young man, stunned by Huang Shi’s resolute gaze signaling to them that he was very sure about today’s affair.

Is this... is this real? Could this young man be Huang Shi’s hidden ace? How... how could he possibly defeat Catherine...

The group now felt even more bewildered, unable to conceive how anyone could beat Catherine. With this thought, they all raised their heads and looked towards the large screen, eager to see what was happening inside the VIP room and if Huang Shi could really win against Catherine today.

As Huang Shi led Lin Feng through the door, he was greeted by a familiar fragrance, but didn’t ponder it further and promptly seated Lin Feng on the sofa. As for Catherine, she would naturally become aware of their presence upon their entry into the room, and expectedly, she would appear soon.

Lin Feng also detected the captivating scent and instantly had a rough idea. He scanned the room, everything appearing natural. However, ultimately, Lin Feng’s gaze landed on the strikingly enchanting flowers on the windowsill, a faint smile playing at his lips as he guessed why Huang Shi had lost previously.

So it was, no wonder no one could beat this Catherine. The key turned out to be these several pots of flowers. Others might not recognize them, but Lin Feng was very familiar with these exotic blooms, having seen an introduction to them at his humble master’s place. The aroma of these flowers could subtly induce illusions, thereby undermining the resolve of those who smelled them. He hadn’t expected to encounter such rare blooms here, but this Catherine was indeed no ordinary person, able to obtain flowers that were nearly extinct.
