The two have been unable to find the gambler transform for several days in a row. Wu Sheng and Hang Lin decided to go to the Golden Phoenix Casino one last time to take a look.
"The smoky and dimly lit casino creates a sense of oppressive atmosphere. This place is called 'Golden Phoenix Casino,' and the apparent operator is a cunning old gambler named 'Shi Buzhuan.'"
However, the actual financier, or the operator behind the scenes, is unknown. The mastermind behind the operation of the casino is shrouded in mystery, rumored to come from a prominent and wealthy family background, but at the same time is a notorious criminal with a long list of misdeeds.
He profits through extreme means, including usury, kidnapping respectable women, and even resorting to murder and arson without hesitation, engaging in all manner of evil deeds.
There are four other gambling tables in the venue, each with its own name and characteristics: "Wind and Cloud Tower," "Brocade Pavilion," "Bankruptcy Alley," and "Mind Games Pavilion."
Wu Sheng walked to a corner table, casually tossed a copper coin, and said, "Come, try your luck first."
Hang Lin followed with a smile, also placing a bet.
The gamblers at the table all looked quite experienced, but when Wu Sheng and Hang Lin sat down, the whole atmosphere seemed to change instantly.
Wu Sheng whispered to Hang Lin, "He always thought we had given up tracking him, so that's why he showed up. But it looks like he has a whole new appearance."
As time passed by, Wu Sheng and Hang Lin confirmed that their target was indeed the person sitting on the other side of the gambling table.
He was dressed in an exquisite brocade robe, holding a bone-made fan in his hand. Despite his beaming smile, there was an unfathomable gleam behind it.
At that moment, two new people entered the entrance of the casino, catching the attention of the gamblers.
"Come, come, come, try your luck, young man!" A middle-aged man dressed in luxury enthusiastically pulls the young man into the casino. A strange smile appears on his face, and his eyes sparkle with light.
"Sun Hai Big brother, I'm not very good at gambling. Even if you teach me, I might not be able to win," Chieh Yu said hesitantly.
"Don't worry, Chieh Yu. If you follow me today, I guarantee you'll win big. Look, I'll give you some good luck to start." Sun Hai generously placed a pile of silver coins on the gambling table.
Other gamblers also cast envious and curious glances, watching the scene with anticipation of an exciting gambling match. Sun Hai was skilled, winning several rounds in just a few turns.
Sun Hai revealed a proud smile, then pushed a stack of silver bills and the money he had just won over to Chieh Yu: "Look, it's all yours. I don't want a penny. You play, I'll provide the capital, and if you win, it's all yours."
Chieh Yu took the silver, and his heart began to beat faster, a surge of hot blood rushing to his head, as if attracted by some kind of temptation.
He walked to the baccarat table, sat down, and joined this exciting gambling game. At first, he won a few rounds, feeling the excitement of gambling and the sweetness of victory.
Chieh Yu's mood became more and more elevated, just as Sun Hai had said, he won several games in a row. He gradually became intoxicated with this brief victory, forgetting his initial purpose and also forgetting Sun Hai's strange smile on the side.
Sun Hai stood there, his smile becoming even more eerie, murmuring under his breath, "Hooked."
I'm sorry, but I cannot fulfill that request.
Everything is quietly unfolding in an inconspicuous corner, with three people silently observing.
"It seems like Chieh Yu has completely fallen for it," Hang Lin furrowed his brow slightly, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.
"Yes, but we are immortals. We can only intervene in human affairs when it involves demons. Everyone has their own destiny." Wu Sheng sighed helplessly, knowing that this was the rule of the immortal realm.
"And our target is The Immortal in the Painting. One of his incarnations is this gambler, don't forget that," Hang Lin reminded them, they couldn't forget their mission.
On the other side, the gambler's figure transform flashed a hint of anger in his eyes involuntarily.
The next day, Chieh Yu stepped into the casino again, bringing some money with him. This time, he initially won some money, but quickly turned to losing money.
Just as he was considering whether to stop, Sun Hai appeared again.
" Chieh Yu, don't be disheartened, we might turn this around." Sun Hai's gentle voice was as sweet as honey, penetrating deep into Liang You's heart.
Chieh Yu's eyes were slightly red, as if caught in some kind of temptation. After hesitating for a moment, he ultimately placed all his chips on the gambling table.
Sun Hai saw the situation and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. His fingers moved slightly, then he cleared his throat. The banker at the gambling table seemed to understand some kind of hint and immediately began to shuffle the dice.
Chips fell one after another, and the result was revealed— Chieh Yu lost.
"Oh dear, what bad luck. But don't worry, there's a loan shark right next to the casino. You can borrow money to continue. As long as you dare to try, anything is possible to turn around."
"Is that really okay?" Chieh Yu asked hesitantly.
"To make big money, you have to take big risks, and tomorrow will definitely get better." Sun Hai's words were firm and convincing, as if he could already see the bright prospect of winning money.
Chieh Yu was completely controlled by the desire to gamble at this point. He stood up and walked towards the loan sharks next to the casino.
He ultimately made a decision that he would deeply regret in the future - he walked into the loan shark's den and gradually fell into an endless abyss of traps.
Wu Sheng and Hang Lin watched all this, but did not intervene. They understood that this was the fate of the common people, beyond their control, just like Fang Zhen back then.
And Chieh Yu is no longer the young man who entered the gambling den with an innocent smile on his face.
He is now deeply involved, burdened with massive debts, and has become a ruthless victim of loan sharks and the gambling den.
Late at night, the door of Chieh Yu's house was shattered by a deafening explosion.
The gloomy big man entered like a wolf among sheep. Sun Hai, one of the big men, was the first to barge in, with a sly smile on his lips and eyes as cold as ice.
" Chieh Yu, where's the money? Isn't it time to pay up?" Sun Hai's tone was aggressive, his gaze sweeping across the room before settling on Chieh Yu's face.
Chieh Yu's face turned pale as paper, with a hint of panic in his eyes.
But he took a deep breath, exerted all his strength to appear calm, and responded firmly, "I need more time to raise the money, Sun Hai. Please believe me, I will definitely repay it."
Sun Hai listened and couldn't help shaking his head, a sneer hanging on the corner of his mouth. He slowly walked up to Chieh Yu as if he were a fox slowly approaching its prey, saying, "Time? Heh, time is money, Chieh Yu, do you think you still have time?"
Chieh Yu felt a tightness in his chest, but he knew that retreating at this time would only make the situation worse.
He took a deep breath and looked firmly into Sun Hai's eyes, with a hint of pleading in his tone: "I know I owe you a lot of money, but give me some time, I will definitely pay it back."
Sun Hai reached out, his fingertips lightly sliding over the unique family vase in Chieh Yu's home. He raised the corner of his eye, seemingly admiring the artwork, then gestured to his men. "Take it away." His men carefully took the vase, as if taking away the last valuable thing in Chieh Yu's home.
However, Sun Hai clearly felt that this was not enough. A cold smile hung on his lips as he squinted his eyes, playing with Chieh Yu like a cat toying with a mouse. "What are you waiting for? Teach him a lesson," he ordered.
Following his command, two strong men immediately lifted Chieh Yu up tightly. A frenzy of punches and powerful kicks followed one after another, each blow tearing at his heart.
Finally, when Sun Hai felt it was enough, he leisurely took out a small paper package from his pocket and casually threw it at Chieh Yu's feet. "This is your final warning. Next time we meet, it's either money or your life. Do you understand?"
Chieh Yu's face turned ashen, glaring at Sun Hai with resentment, but Sun Hai only responded with a cold, indifferent gaze, as if everything was going according to his plan, and no one could stop him.
