Chapter 501: The First Battle!


    In such a gamble, where the stakes involve physical maiming, the great majority of people would be terrified. Minghui tried looking for signs of fear in Huang Xiaolong’s expression.


    Once a person reveals fear, that means they have a w!


    But…


    Huang Xiaolong seemed to be unaffected, showing a carefree smile.


    Minghui observed him for several seconds but failed to spot any hint of fear in his eyes, only seeing – indifference and disdain for the world!


    “Hmm~~~” Minghui shook his head and muttered. “Mr. Huang, your spirit has no w. As expected, I didn’t misjudge you. In fact, from the first glimpse of you in that video taken at the Litchi District in Huahuan Street, I sensed an extraordinary confidence and strength in you… Unfortunately, tonight, we each stand on our own…”


    Minghui took off his sses and began cleaning the lenses with a velvet cloth. “Like I said before, Mr. Huang, if you change your mind, ourpany’s doors are always open to you. Tonight, let’s both go all out.”


    The moment he put his sses back on, a sharp gleam emanated from Minghui’s eyes!


    From a drawer, he took out a contract and handed it to Huang Xiaolong. “Mr. Huang, please sign this contract.”


    “Let me quickly go over the details of the contract with you, Mr. Huang.” As Minghui’s speech quickened, he sounded very professional. “There are four challenges. For the first challenge, the prize is 10 million RMB. For the second, the prize is 20 million RMB. For the third, the prize is 40 million RMB. For the fourth, which is the ultimate challenge, the prize is 100 million RMB. This means, if you pass all four challenges, the cumtive prize will amount to 170 million RMB.”<div>


    “On the other hand, Mr. Huang, if you fail any of the challenges, not only will you not receive a single penny of the prize money, but you will also lose your hands.”


    Minghui emphasized seriously. “Of course, Mr. Huang, if you sessfully pass all four challenges, you can take away both Miss Su Xiaoman and Mr. Su Xiaoqiang. If there are no issues, please sign your name on the contract.”


    Huang Xiaolong casually signed his name on the contract without even reading it, smiling as he did so. “By the way, is this contract legally binding?”


    “Mr. Huang, within the gambling industry, such contracts are recognized and are protected by the World Gambling Association. If anyone vites the contract, they will be wanted and hunted down by the World Gambling Association.” Minghui collected the contract and said calmly. “From ancient times till now, no one has ever been able to vite such contracts and escape thew. Actually, the power of the World Gambling Association is no less than that of the EU.”


    “Hahaha~~” Huang Xiaolongughed upon noticing the warning in Minghui’s tone, dismissing it with a scoff.


    In Huang Xiaolong’s view, a mere piece of paper held no power over him!


    The sole ghost official of Hell, the Yin Emperor, need not fear a mundane World Gambling Association, right?


    If he was annoyed, he could simply obliterate it!


    After the contract was signed, Minghui stood up, “Mr. Huang, pleasee with me.”


    The two men left the office.


    Outside, Lin Zicong and Bai Gang stood with curious expressions.


    “Teacher, what’s going on?” Lin Zicong asked anxiously.


    Bai Gang, however, looked timidly at Minghui, his legs trembling. “Mi… Minghui steward…”


    For a local influential figure like Bai Gang, seeing the butler of the Ji Shi Group was like a dreame true.


    Indeed, their social statuses were iparable. One was like a firefly, while the other was like the sun and the moon in the sky.


    So, when Bai Gang saw Minghui treating Huang Xiaolong with such politeness, he was even more startled – who exactly was this guy?


    “Nothing much, preparing to gamble a few rounds.” Huang Xiaolong gave a smile to Lin Zicong.


    Lin Zicong was taken aback; he had never seen Huang Xiaolong gamble before…


    Soon, Minghui led Huang Xiaolong and the others to a luxurious hall where several beautiful young women were standing.<div>


    “Mr. Huang, please have a seat. There are four separate rooms ahead in this hall, each representing one of the four challenges. Soon, you’ll start with the first room.” Minghui said, smiling.


    Huang Xiaolong nonchntly took a seat on a couch, “Let’s get started.”


    “Alright, I’ll go make the arrangements, we’ll be starting soon.” Minghui nodded and immediately turned to leave.


    “Wait a minute~~” Lin Zicong called out. “I want to join the teacher in the room to watch.”<div>


    “I’m sorry. That’s impossible.” Minghui tly refused.


    “I’m Lin Zicong of the Binhai Lin Family! What? I don’t even have the right to watch from the side?” Lin Zicong was indignant.


    “Heh~~” Minghui scoffed, then courteously suggested, “Well…please, Young Master Lin, apany me to the control room. Watching from there is our bottom line.”


    “You!” Lin Zicong was red in the face and flustered.


    Huang Xiaolong said with a light smile. “It doesn’t matter, go to the control room.”


    “Well…okay then…” Lin Zicong nodded. “Teacher, you must be careful.”


    Having said that, Lin Zicong felt he was making a big fuss about nothing. Given his teacher’s mysterious abilities, what could a mere casino do to him?


    Thereupon, Minghui led Lin Zicong and Bai Gang out of the hall.


    Not far from the hall, there was a control room.


    At this moment, arge group of office workers, both men and women, sat in front ofputers, typing away.


    The control room was spacious, covering hundreds of square meters. On several couches, many sharp-eyed, calm individuals were sitting.


    Mr. Ma, the Cat of Nine Lives, was sitting cross-legged with a ss of red wine in his hand, standing out amongst the crowd.


    On one wall of the control room, there was arge LCD screen disying the interiors of the four rooms. However, all the rooms were currently empty.<div>


    Lin Zicong and Bai Gang casually found a vacant couch to sit on.


    “Mr. Ma, everything is set up. Who should participate in the first round? Since you’re ourpany’s pir, you should control the overall situation.” Minghui politely said to Mr. Ma.


    “Ah~~ For the first game, Bai Shan, you go.” Mr. Ma casually issued his orders.


    Bai Shan turned out to be Bai Gang’s cousin!


    “Ah! Cousin! You’re going to y? Great! Cousin, teach that little prick a lesson!” Bai Gang adored his cousin’s gambling skills. They not only had familial ties but also grew up ying together. Bai Gang’s support for Bai Shan was only natural.


    “Hmph!” Lin Zicong merely scoffed.


    “Mr. Ma, you’re letting Bai Shan y the first round?” Minghui asked Mr. Ma, puzzled.


    “Bai Shan is the star yer of this Elysian Pce in Binhai. Although his world ranking is below 100, he is more than enough against this unknown nobody.” Mr. Ma leisurely sipped his red wine, his gazending on Bai Shan. “Go on, remember, don’t bring disgrace upon thepany.”


    “Huh~~~” Bai Shan drew a deep breath, his eyes zed with excitement and a resolute determination to fight. “Mr. Ma, Brother Hui, rest assured, I won’t let you be disappointed. I won’t let thepany down! I’m off!”


    …


    Huang Xiaolong sat in the hall, appreciating the beauty of the young girls around him.


    Suddenly, Minghui’s voice sounded through the hall’s loudspeakers – “Mr. Huang, please enter the first room. The first of the four challenges will begin soon. We wish you all the best.”
