Chapter 1009 911: The Gambling King's Female Bodyguard
This young man is none other than He Jie, the seventh grandson of Gambling King He from Australia. Therefore, people generally address him as Mr. He. Australia is located at the southernmost point of Huaxia, far removed from the political center. It has always been ahead of the world, so it has developed very rapidly.
Although both Australia and Hong Kong are special administrative regions, some local tycoons still try every possible way to establish relationships with influential families in the Capital City. Especially major families like the Gambling King's, they've long sought to interact with the top families there.
Upon hearing that Yang Tian is the sole heir of the Chen Family in the Capital City, a hint of excitement flashed in He Jie's eyes. He hurriedly stood up, saying, "Mr. Chen, I didn't expect you to come here from the Capital City to have some fun. Our He Family is the biggest here, so whatever you need, feel free to ask me."
As he spoke, He Jie proactively extended his hand.
Yang Tian looked at He Jie's exuberant face, nodded, and shook his hand. After all, the He Family is renowned not only in Huaxia but also in Asia. Although not as shocking as the Chen Family, the He Clan holds sway over Australia. Yang Tian wanted to gather Gambling Technique Qi here, and interacting with the He Clan seemed necessary.
He said lightly, "Just call me Yang Tian..."
He Jie laughed heartily and quickly replied, "I'll follow Yinghao's lead and call you Yang, Brother Yang. Please have a seat. Would I have the honor of sitting together with you to play a few hands of cards?"
"Of course..."
Yang Tian looked around and noticed that the entire second-floor gambling hall was as big as a football field. Each gambling table had two uniformed dealers and players. Gold and silver glittered on the tables, with stacks of Suo Coins neatly placed there. The VIPs were chatting and laughing, occasionally clinking glasses of red wine. The entire gambling hall seemed very upscale.
With a glance, Yang Tian realized there were over a hundred VIPs here, and he could gather a portion of the Gambling Technique Qi.
So he sat down and said, "Brother He, is this Bao Lai Casino owned by your family?"
He Jie laughed heartily, "Yang, Brother Yang, rest assured. No one will stop you no matter how much you win. It all relies on luck here, and if you're lucky enough, winning billions isn't a problem."
"Alright!" Yang Tian knocked on the table, saying to Li beside him, "Li, exchange one million Suo Coins for me..."
Li suddenly sat beside Yang Tian. "Let Ling Ying handle that. I want to play with you too."
Murong Yinghao and He Jie heard Li's voice and looked over, seeing Li, Ling Ying, Eliza, and Wu Zetian. Their eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but praise, "Yang, Brother Yang, I never expected your companions to be such stunning beauties. With them accompanying you, the whole gambling hall seems brighter. Compared to them, our companions seem pale by comparison..."
Yang Tian responded lightly, "With your abilities, Brother He and Brother Murong could find any type of woman you desire."
He Jie laughed, "Even if we find big stars, they wouldn't compare to what you have..."
Murong Yinghao quickly chimed in, "Brother He, why don't you call over a few stars? Without celebrities accompanying us, we can't even measure up to Brother Yang..."
He Jie laughed and quickly made a call. Within five minutes, two glamorous women arrived. The woman on the left wore a white rabbit fur coat, exuding elegance, while the one on the right wore a tight dress, showcasing her exquisite figure.
As the two women appeared, Yang Tian recognized them at once. They were both well-known second-tier celebrities in Huaxia. The woman on the left, wearing the rabbit fur coat, was Zhang Chenfang, a domestic famous actress, but people knew her mostly because she had an international star sister, Zhang Chenyi. The woman on the right, wearing the dress, was Zhang Biyao, a second-tier singer in the country.
Once the women arrived, they walked smilingly towards Murong Yinghao and He Jie, snuggling up to them, chatting and laughing merrily.
He Jie squeezed Zhang Chenfang's fair little hand and smiled at Yang Tian, saying, "Yang, Brother Yang, we don't need to introduce these women. You should recognize them. They're celebrities, but compared to the beauties behind you, they pale in comparison."
Yang Tian shrugged. He sat with Li at one end and saw that Ling Ying had already exchanged Suo Coins. He calmly said, "Brother He, Brother Murong, let's cut the chatter and start."
Everyone sat down, and the dealer began dealing cards. They played poker, a game very popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Both Murong Yinghao and He Jie were wealthy, carelessly placing their bets.
But soon, Yang Tian noticed the female bodyguard behind He Jie.
From the start, Yang Tian spotted the Martial Artist aura within this female bodyguard. She silently stood behind He Jie, and at times, brought up three glasses of red wine: "Sir, here is the 1984 Lafite red wine you requested…"
He Jie smiled at Yang Tian and Murong Yinghao: "Yang, Brother Yang, Brother Murong, this 1984 Lafite red wine was specially ordered from France for Brother Murong. But Brother Yang's arrival excites me so much. Brother Yang, grant me this honor, let's down a glass..."
Red wine is meant to be savored gradually, but He Jie, clearly a forthright person, wanted to down it in one go.
But for some reason, Yang Tian noticed the female bodyguard behind He Jie had eyes flashing with a murderous intent. He operated his Divine Sense to probe into the three glasses of red wine, and soon, his eyes flashed coldly; the wine was poisoned.
Yet, evidently, only one glass was poisoned.
Yang Tian was curious. This female bodyguard, a Martial Artist, had poisoned the wine, but who was she intended to kill?
Next to him, Li also noticed the female bodyguard's oddity. She operated her Demon Sense to tell Yang Tian, "Big brother, the female bodyguard poisoned the wine..."
"Let's see who she intends to kill!"
Yang Tian responded using his Divine Sense.
Everyone remained silent, and soon the female bodyguard handed out the three glasses of red wine to Yang Tian, Murong Yinghao, and He Jie. Yang Tian's eyes showed doubt: "He Jie's glass is poisoned; could his bodyguard be planning to kill him?"
"Come on, let's drink this glass!"
He Jie stood up first.
"Brother He, your wine is poisoned..."
Yang Tian said, used Spiritual Breath to give a slap, breaking the glass of wine in He Jie's hand. The spilled wine foamed blood red on the table...
Seeing this, everyone's faces changed drastically...
