Chapter 81: Chapter 77: Sorry, I Never Gamble"Hey, An Yan? This is Bai Yan." Bai Yan made the call to An Yan, using the number An Xiaowan had given him. "Mm, I’m at work, what’s up?" "I wanted to ask if you know anything about Li Lai Casino?" "Li Lai Casino?" Inside the CEO office of the Shen Zhou Group building, An Yan’s expression turned serious: "How did you get mixed up with the crowd at Li Lai Casino? Did something happen to Xiao Wan?!" An Yan’s first concern was for her sister’s safety. "Xiao Wan is at school attending classes. It’s a friend of mine who’s been kidnapped by people from Li Lai Casino." Bai Yan spoke with a deep voice: "I must rescue them!" "As far as I know, Li Lai Casino is a strong underground force in Mo City, with powerful backers and formidable self-strength. They pretty much have influence over both the lawful and the underworld." An Yan rubbed her temples, a headache forming: "Anyway, don’t rush there. I’ll see if I can get someone to rescue your friend." Having said that, An Yan sternly instructed: "Don’t underestimate Li Lai Casino, don’t act rashly!" She didn’t want this man to get into trouble. "I understand." Bai Yan responded calmly, then hung up the phone. An Yan’s pretty face turned red with anger: "This damn kid, trying to play the hero again!" An Group’s reach was vast; Bai Yan had merely made a call to An Yan to inquire about the background of Li Lai Casino. But clearly, An Yan’s knowledge about Li Lai Casino wasn’t extensive; it was a very mysterious local power. Bai Yan frowned, while driving he texted Jinx, asking her to get in touch with "Blood Hand" Domit. As the crownless king of Mo City, Domit should know something about Li Lai Casino, right? Bai Yan drove in silence, speeding towards Li Lai Casino in his Maybach. If he put all his hopes on An Yan and Domit, Li Xiaoman would really be in danger. A girl caught in such a poisonous den could be subjected to unimaginable indignities; Bai Yan didn’t even want to think about it. Li Xiaoman was his Demon Servant, and if he couldn’t protect his own people, what kind of Demon Lord was he! "Roar!" The Maybach roared as Bai Yan’s destination held firm—Li Lai Casino! In the CEO office of the Shen Zhou Group’s Mo City branch. An Yan sat on a black leather chair, her hand on her forehead, consumed by a fierce headache. If something happened to Bai Yan, she didn’t know how to explain it to Xiao Wan. This damn kid... truly troublesome! After some thought, An Yan picked up the phone and dialed a strange six-digit number. If someone from the higher echelons saw this number they would be quite astonished. It was a special internal number for the military district chiefs in Hua Xia, accessible only to special personnel for direct contact with military chiefs. "Hello? My dear granddaughter, haha, what made you think of calling your grandpa today?" A venerable and authoritative voice came from the other end of the line; the old man sounded pleased to receive a call from An Yan. "Grandpa, a friend of mine in Mo City got kidnapped by a place called Li Lai Casino. Can you think of some way to help~" An Yan’s voice carried a hint of coquettishness. "Li Lai Casino? Never heard of it..." The old man hesitated: "If it’s abroad, it’s a bit tricky to deal with, as it’s beyond my reach, but I’ll try asking some old friends. If not, send your own security forces." Li Lai Casino was too minor for the old man to have heard of such an underground force in Mo City. After all, no matter how strong an underground force in Mo City was, they weren’t on the same level as the bigwigs of the Hua Xia military district. The old man was confident in the powerful security forces at An Yan’s side. Unless they were special individuals from the Dark World, there was basically no match for them. ... "Screech!" The Maybach stylishly swung around in a U-turn, coming to a stop at the entrance of Li Lai Casino. This Li Lai Casino was located on the third underground level of Night City, a semi-open underground casino. Bai Yan pushed open the doors of Night City, and a few staff members walked out from inside, bumping into Bai Yan. "Hey! Sir, we’re not open during the day, please come back at night." A white staff member spoke very politely to Bai Yan. "I’m here to find someone. Where’s the entrance to Li Lai Casino?" Bai Yan’s tone was very cold. "Are you Mr. Bai?" The staff member suddenly realized, then spoke with a smile. "Cut the crap, take me to Li Lai Casino!" Bai Yan’s gaze sharpened, and his right hand shot out, grabbing the staff member’s neck. The other staff members looked at Bai Yan with terror; they were all just ordinary attendants. "Fine!....*cough cough* I’ll take you there." The staff member’s face turned beet red as he spoke with difficulty, coughing. Led by a few staff members, Bai Yan smoothly arrived at the Li Lai Casino located on the third underground floor. Inside the Li Lai Casino was dark, perhaps because it was not open for business, the lights were not yet turned on. The staff member opened the gilded doors of the Li Lai Casino and respectfully said to the inside, "Miss Celine, Mr. Bai is here." "Click!" The lights suddenly turned on, revealing the full view of the Li Lai Casino to Bai Yan. The first thing Bai Yan saw was the enormous statue of Lord Guan at the entrance; the sculpture was made of copper and was as tall as a person. Candles and incense burned in front of Lord Guan, with the smell of sandalwood permeating the air. Unexpectedly, these foreigners also believed in Lord Guan. Bai Yan’s gaze swept around calmly. Rows upon rows of gambling tables, slot machines, mahjong tables, and other facilities were all present—it was an underground casino with the size of a sports field, quite large! Several Caucasian attendants stood at the entrance, dressed in shirts and leather shoes, adorned with bow ties, their faces carrying their trademark smiles, they looked at Bai Yan: "Please, Mr. Bai." Bai Yan remained silent, his expression calm as he walked into the casino. At a gambling table, a few people sat, heedlessly playing cards and dice, with a number of black men in sunglasses and dressed in black, standing behind them with their hands behind their backs—likely bodyguards. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Bai Yan didn’t understand gambling and wasn’t sure what they were playing. "Clean sweep! Pay up!" A chubby white man with a cigar in his mouth laughed loudly, his voice brash to the extreme. The fat man turned to a fiery redhead bombshell beside him, proudly chuckling, "Not bad, eh, Celine? My skills are pretty good, right?" "That’s right, Mr. Harold, you are Mo City’s King of Gamble!" The voluptuous and beautiful woman laughed charmingly, her waist twisting as she deftly and subtly sidestepped the fat man’s lecherous hands. Harold’s face fell, then he shouted to the others at the table, "Come on, come on~! Keep going, today I’m going to crush everyone!" "Mr. Harold, let’s call it a day. We have a visitor at the casino." The croupier said with a smiling face. Harold pouted, his small eyes scornfully glancing over Bai Yan at the entrance: "Just a yellow-skinned monkey who’s come to die. He counts as a guest?" Bai Yan was unaware that those who could gamble at the Li Lai Casino when it was closed, were basically all prominent figures in Mo City. "Yo, this must be Mr. Bai? You look rather delicate; even I would feel sad to bully you." Celine turned her delicate body around and said to Bai Yan with a coy laugh. Celine was wearing a white shirt that bulged at the chest and a pair of high heels that accentuated her tall and slender frame, highlighting her sexy contours. Bai Yan was completely unmoved, his expression extremely cold: "Where is Li Xiaoman?" Celine covered her cherry-like mouth with a giggle: "Mr. Bai, no need to rush. Your friend won’t have any trouble. But the fierce words you said over the phone earlier really scared me—you don’t believe me? Come and feel it, my little heart is still thumping nonstop." Celine said as she stepped forward, but Bai Yan’s eyes flickered, his gaze icy as he looked at this demon-like woman: "I won’t say it a second time! Where is she!" "Kid, you’ve got quite the mouth on you." Harold spat a wad of saliva, his chubby face trembling slightly, his lips twisting into a sinister grin: "The nerve to come alone to Li Lai Casino to demand someone, I admire your guts!" "Celine, can I have some fun with this kid?" The fat pig Harold turned to ask Celine. Celine laughed so hard her flowers shook, her chest heaving wildly, fixing every man’s gaze tightly onto them: "How could I stop you, Mr. Harold? You own a five percent stake in our Li Lai Casino. Since you want to take charge, who am I to stand in your way?" Harold smiled; although Celine was ostensibly in charge of the Li Lai Casino, she was also the mistress of the actual owner behind the scenes, with a very strong hand—so much so that even he did not dare to underestimate this woman. "Yellow-skinned monkey, you want to take someone from Li Lai Casino, it’s not impossible, but you must abide by the rules of Li Lai Casino." Fat pig Harold stood up, lit a cigar, walked up to Bai Yan, his fat face filled with disdain: "Bet on a game, win and you take the person. Lose, and you leave your life." A puff of smoke exhaled from Harold’s mouth, hitting Bai Yan’s face. "Do you dare to bet?" Harold laughed wildly, looking forward to seeing Bai Yan scared enough to wet his pants. The others at the gambling table leaned back in their chairs, their faces showing the same gleeful, playful smiles; they hadn’t seen such a greenhorn barge into the casino for a long time, and they didn’t want to miss the fun. Judging by Bai Yan’s youthful and delicate appearance, he must not be a veteran of the streets. The crowd figured that Bai Yan was just a rookie. Suddenly, Bai Yan laughed. He looked at Harold up close and said with a cold smile, "Bet? Sorry, I never gamble." Not everyone is qualified to threaten Bai Yan. Harold sneered condescendingly, but just as he was about to speak, The next second, the unexpected happened! "Whoosh!" Bai Yan moved incredibly fast, darting behind one of Harold’s bodyguards and pulling a gun from the bodyguard’s waist, pressing it against Harold’s fat head. Instantly, the whole scene was in shock. Such a fast movement! Harold’s face was full of astonishment; the cold touch at his temple sent cold sweat dripping down his forehead. Damn it, this stinky kid is so quick! Could he know the legendary Chinese Martial Arts? "I’m asking one last time, where is Li Xiaoman!" Bai Yan’s icy voice echoed through the Li Lai Casino.
