The man wanted to roll his eyes. He had no idea how many self-proclaimed important people step into the building's halls. Lee Hao was just an ordinary person. If it weren't for the fact that his boss was trying to get connections in Haicheng, he wouldn't even have the right to purchase this luxurious card.
Now his son wanted to be arrogant?
However, just as he was about to turn them away, his phone rang. He picked up the phone, and his face paled. His features changing drastically, he took one look at his guests and bowed.
"Young Master Lee," he mumbled. "I've offended you. Of course, you are all qualified to enter this establishment."
As soon as he said this, Kong Wanying laughed. "You really are amazing, Young Master Lee," she said loudly. "Even the Chen Family is scared to turn you away."
Bai Xiaoxuan almost jumped in excitement. Her cheeks were flushed red. There was something about Lee Yueze's domineering personality that had drawn her in. Was this a show of how powerful he was?
Even if Ye Chen owned that Rolls Royce, he couldn't lift a finger if Lee Yueze had a say in it.
However, while everyone was singing praises about his performance, Lee Yueze felt...awkward. Was this really because of his father? He didn't question it further as he waved his hand. "Let's go."
Ye Chen suppressed the urge to scoff.
Of course he had heard the man's voice at the other end of the line. While he may not be aware of his purpose yet, there was no way that mysterious caller wanted to become friends with Lee Yueze.
Just as he was about to step forward, he saw that Xia Yuting was trailing right behind him. "Shouldn't you follow them up?"
"I..."She flushed.
Ah. This kind of place was too dangerous for a university student. It was normal for Xia Yuting to be scared. He ruffled her hair with a smile. "Don't worry," he whispered. "I'll protect you."
"Hm..." With a slow nod, they went into the elevator.
The elevator door opened, and all of them gasped. It was as if they had stepped into a different universe. Everything was so beautiful and glamorous.
Under the dazzling chandeliers were men and women dressed in the most exclusive designer brand. They were all drinking from golden champagne glasses as they casually threw their dices onto the table. All the amounts they called out was enough to last a family several lifetimes.
Their eyes widened as they took in the bright atmosphere.
Would it be possible to live the life they are living now? Their gazes shone with so much longing.
While they were busy staring, Ye Chen yawned and stretched his arms. In his previous life, even his servant had something like this—even better. How could a mortal building compare to what he once had.
However...
The tips of his ears perked in attention. Something was different...There was someone here—far more powerful than the other guests.
Ye Chen looked from afar and spotted a man with a green suit. He was fixing his cufflinks—his gaze were on Lee Yueze.
That man wasn't as simple as he seemed. Although he didn't have the domineering expression and intimidating appearance that other men had in this casino, he still managed to stand out. However, he wasn't interested in that.
He was interested in the three men following behind him.
The one in the middle was breathing heavily, his eyes were narrowed and focused. The one of the left had his arms out like a tiger. And the other appeared much lax. However, the way he walked was dainty—as if his feet weren't touching the ground.
These three men were the three great guardians of the Cheng Family! The Lion's Roar, the Rock Shattering Palm, and the Xuanji Step—all of them were here to protect the patriarch of the Cheng Family, Cheng Bouxan.
Ye Chen stared at the three great guardians. He had heard of them before, but he had no idea what level they were in. "Come," Lee Yueze voiced out, pulling him out of his thoughts. "Let's play a game of cards. Whoever loses gets to be a dog."
"You really are courting death." Ye Chen sneered.
However, as they headed to the gambling table, the man in green unexpectedly followed. "Friends." He smiled. "Do you mind if we play together?"
The three elders stood behind him silently.
Lee Yueze was a little hesitant at first, but he was confident in his gambling skills. He also had Wang Guangyao and Chen Feng working from the inside. Besides, he didn't want to lose face. "No problem," he finally replied. "But we bet a lot here. You think you can manage?"
One of the elders growled. "You dare—"
"Stop." The man in green smiled warmly as he casually threw a couple of chips onto the table.
A purple crystal!
Not wanting to fall into a disadvantage, he flicked his bank card onto the table. "Fine," he snapped. "Ye Chen, do you have money on you? You want me to lend you some money?"
Ye Chen however, remained unfazed. He threw his car keys onto the table. "This car can be my collateral."
"Go, put it in chips!" Chen Feng greedily gazed at the key as he waved the waiter over. The Rolls Royce was worth at least 7 million! It was more than Ye Chen's family assets combined.
"Ye—"
Xia Yuting bit her lips as she pulled at the corner of his shirt. However, before she could say anything, he smiled. "I'll be fine."
When Bai Xiaoxuan saw this, she gritted her teeth. It wasn't easy for him to acquire a luxury car, and now he's overestimating himself again. Did he think he could compare to someone like Lee Yueze?
There was no way this guy was worthy of her time!
Very quickly, the waiter shuffled and distributed the guards.
As he was doing so, Ye Chen moved his finger and focused his energy on the playing cards. While the exterior appearances of the cards had not changed, the digits in the cards had.
As the first two cards were handed out, Lee Yueze suppressed the urge to smirk. An ace and a king!
He began to raise the stakes and even tempted the others to raise their bets even more. There was no way he was losing this time around.
The five cards were distributed, and his excitement was going through the roof! His other cards were a Queen, a Jack, and a 10!
He'd definitely win!
He was actually this lucky!
There was no way they'd win against him now.
That idiot Ye Chen would be bankrupt, and he'd be able to break his limbs one by one. But before all that...he must profit first.
