Central City 15th District, Thirteenth Street Underground Casino.

This underground casino had dozens of reception areas, and each reception area had a special person in charge responsible for receiving them. To prevent the police from finding him, the entire process was led to the casino center by a waiter.

There were two types of people inside. One was that they had status and position, and were also frequent customers and distinguished guests in casinos. The second reason was because they didn't come often, and as soon as they did, they won a large amount of money from their guests.

Jiang Tao and Leng Hanxuan belonged to the latter. For these two distinguished guests, the casino would specially make a mask for them. It was a symbol of their identity and also something to conceal their identity in order to cause unnecessary trouble. Those who knew the rules would never question the identity of the masked man again. Some would even go out of their way to gamble or bet with him.

Jiang Tao pushed the door open. Dozens of red beams swept over Jiang Tao and Leng Hanxuan. After the light stopped sweeping their faces, a humanoid robot walked over with two strange masks in its hands. One was a silver mask that covered more than half of the left face, while the other was a black mask that covered more than half of the face.

"Your identity has been confirmed. Please put on your masks and follow me." The robot passed the mask to Jiang Tao and Leng Hanxuan, who put on their masks and followed the robot to a spacious venue. The golden walls, the golden ground and the golden ceiling, under the light of the lamp, appeared as though they had arrived inside a mountain of gold.

At the entrance, the waiter bowed towards Jiang Tao. According to the rules that stated that robots could not enter, before the robot approached the entrance, it would follow its original route and leave. The corner of Jiang Tao's mouth curled up into a smile. He lowered his body and took the opportunity to take out a few bills, stuffing them into the waiter's hands. He said, "I haven't been here for quite a while. I wonder how the situation has been recently."

The waiter was also a sharp-eyed person. He flipped his hand and stuffed the money into his sleeve, then quickly bowed to Jiang Tao and Leng Hanxuan and said, "Everything has been normal here for the past three months. However, there have been a lot of thieves recently and they have often been found out about theft. In the Chess area, there is a wealthy businessman who comes in every day. He is undefeated and has been given the nickname of 'General Chang Sheng'. "

"Oh? Interesting, Xuanzi, shall we go to General Chang Sheng? " Jiang Tao turned around and looked at Leng Hanxuan, whose face was covered by a mask. Leng Hanxuan smiled, "It doesn't matter who you win, it's all the same to you."

"Get up!" Jiang Tao laughed heartily and walked straight towards the Chess area.

Chess is the quietest place in the casino. Chess is played with your hands, not your mouth. So most people don't say a word in normal times, when people have no chess except at home, and so make an appointment to play together.

Jiang Tao strolled around the Chess area, looking for his target. As he was walking around, his eyes suddenly lit up. He saw a table that had been reported to him by a crowd of onlookers to the point that not even a drop of water could trickle through. When Jiang Tao saw this, he immediately shouted, "Wah! Who dropped so much money!?" No need, right? This is at least a million! "

The moment the voice was heard, it successfully attracted the attention of the audience. As soon as Jiang Tao finished his words, he immediately grabbed Leng Han Xuan and rushed inside.

The two men who rushed to the front only saw a middle-aged man with oily skin on the left side of a table. He looked like a typical merchant, but he was too fat to sit on the seat, and his fat hands were rubbing against the huge gem ring.

"What's wrong? Are you prepared to admit defeat? " The merchant grinned, showing his gold teeth that could blind everyone's eyes. The merchant carefully rubbed the gem ring on his finger and sighed, "Since you've admitted defeat, then sign your name on the slave agreement."

"We haven't even reached the end! "You, just you wait!" The thin man mustered his courage to speak out loud to cheer himself on, but it was obvious that he lacked confidence. The merchant smiled disapprovingly. After glancing at the man, he lowered his head and carefully rubbed the gem ring.

Standing at the side, Jiang Tao looked at this game of chess. The aura of a superpower on the board caused his brows to tighten as he began to size up the merchant. He had always found it strange. Intermediate cities were considered mediocre, while Adepts were valued by the country. Most of them were upper-tier cities. There were very few high-ranked Adepts in the middle class.

Adepts also had levels, ranging from low to high – rookies, low to medium – Adepts, high level Adepts, and holy powers.

The newly acquired Discipline was called 'Nooblet'. This kind of person would not be able to use it stably yet. Those who could steadily use their Disciplines and were adept at manipulating them were known as low-level Adepts. The higher one went, the more familiar they were with their Discipline.

If the man in front of him could use his ability in public without being discovered by the machine, then he definitely wasn't a low-level Adept. Jiang Tao stared fixedly at the merchant. He finally realized that every time it was the merchant's turn to play chess, the merchant would only pretend to move the control board a few times. The chess piece was actually moving by itself.

"It seems pretty boring. Let's go." Jiang Tao yawned out of a hundred boredom. Chess normally didn't cheat. After all, it was controlled by humans and everyone's eyes were on it. However, Adepts were different. Adepts could simply muddle their way through and cheat in front of everyone's eyes. As long as one wasn't a rookie or a low-level Adept, no one would know.

Leng Hanxuan saw through the trick and looked at Jiang Tao, who had lost interest. He then nodded at Jiang Tao and replied, "Then forget it! "Since you don't want to play anymore, then let's go!"

Just as Leng Hanxuan was about to leave, Jiang Tao turned around and walked back towards that area. Leng Hanxuan was startled, and immediately held onto Jiang Tao and asked, "Hey! What are you walking back for! "

Jiang Tao paused for a moment and turned around to look at Leng Hanxuan as if he was looking at an idiot. He then said, "As a citizen of the third class, how can he allow a bad guy to commit heinous acts!"

When the latter heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched as he silently cursed in his heart, "When did you become so kind?" Usually, it would be a miracle if you didn't go and bully the previous round, right?

To be honest, everything had to find out why things happened. Leng Hanxuan looked at the thin man once more. He was dressed in sackcloth, and there seemed to be only a few bones left on his body. It was probably because the poor families hadn't eaten a good meal for a long time that they took the risk. Just as Leng Hanxuan's gaze left the thin man's body, he saw a familiar red figure barging into his line of sight. Looking in that direction, he saw a woman in red tights standing beside the thin man, looking like a blooming Resurrection Lily. And this woman just so happened to be the boss he met this morning, the woman who had been teased by Jiang Tao, Zhu Zhu Zhu Rong!

Seeing Zhu Zhulong standing there, Leng Hanxuan's eyebrows twitched and he could not help but scold in his heart, I was wondering why he suddenly found out about it. So it was to curry favor with the Director, and to dispel the 'crime' of teasing the Director this morning! Heh, at that time, don't flatter me like that.

As he thought of this, Leng Hanxuan suddenly felt that something was amiss. How could the brilliantly dressed Zhu Zhu Rong be the same as the thin and weak man dressed in hemp clothes?

"I'm sorry you lost." The merchant's mouth curved into a sardonic grin, and he watched as the control panel prepared to take the next step. A strong hand grabbed his own in midair, and the force of it, with the merchant's hand, flipped to the left, causing him to scream in pain and slam into the table. The pawns floating on the table suddenly disappeared. Actually, before Jiang Tao could grab the merchant's hand, a knife had already been unsheathed and was pasted onto Jiang Tao's neck. As if he didn't see the knife on Jiang Tao's neck, his body leaned forward a bit, and he moved closer to the merchant. The knife was already tightly pressed against Jiang Tao's neck, and if Jiang Tao moved a little bit more, his carotid artery would be cut and he would have blood flowing out. Jiang Tao smiled at the merchant without a care. However, he exerted even more strength in his hands, scaring the merchant into screaming: "Painful …." "White, white …"

"Eh?"

Jiang Tao smiled faintly, but he put even more force into his hand, making the merchant think that his hand was about to break. Seeing that Bai Yubai's knife was already glued to Jiang Tao's neck, as long as he gave the order, the man's head would move.

But he was afraid!

From the fearless expression of the person in front of him, he was very confident that the moment he gave the order to kill this person, the person in front of him would kill him.

"White …" "No, Bai Yu, give me, me, me, and put down the blade!"

The merchant stammered out an order, and the person standing behind him was Bai Yubai. After receiving the order, he immediately moved his body away from Jiang Tao's neck.

"You're also a smart person!" Jiang Tao smiled and did not clarify his meaning. He then looked at the merchant as if nothing had happened. Blinking his eyes in innocence, he continued, "It's not good to give away money. You see, you're so fat, and you look like a fat pig. Looking at their parents, they looked like a row of skeletons. "Don't you feel ashamed if you do that?"

"AHH!" So you were cheating! "You shameless bastard …"

"Shut up! When adults speak, children don't make up for it! " Jiang Tao shouted at the thin man. The thin man was scared and didn't know what to say. He held in a breath in his heart and thought to himself: "From the looks of it, you are much younger than me!"

"Oh? I'd like to ask you, how did Chess get into trouble? Relying on your own strength, that's all. " The merchant revealed a treacherous smile as he looked at Jiang Tao. The latter looked at the merchant disapprovingly, using her peripheral vision to size up the man dressed in a warrior's outfit and the two sabers on his back. She smiled and said, "Indeed. You wouldn't be discovered if you weren't a special ability user." Because you're using your superpower to create illusions in front of this man, directly affecting his judgement. It's against the rules in an underground casino. It's because you're fighting an ordinary person who doesn't have any special abilities that you're able to achieve your goal, am I right? "

"I … I don't know any superpower!" The merchant suddenly leaned back and tried to retract his hand, but he could not move.

How could this person be so strong!

"Don't be in such a hurry. Let's sit down and talk about life, talk about ideals, and think about the future. Isn't that great?" Jiang Tao ignored Bai Yan's killing gaze and firmly held onto the merchant's hand, causing him to be unable to move. He casually threw the frail man, who was originally sitting on a chair, and sat down on his own, smiling as he looked at the merchant, as if he was looking at an old friend he hadn't seen for many years. Then, he happily started to chat with him, "Say, the society is so chaotic now, and people are killing and looting everywhere, and it's not even taking advantage of the dark night, don't you think that some people are too rampant recently?"

The merchant was sweating. As a mercenary, he knew very well that this man with a knife on his neck was no ordinary person. However, he couldn't let this man who called him a swindler get away with it! If he were to be found out, not only would he be fined by the casino's manager, he wouldn't care about this amount of money. More importantly, if he were to be found out, his reputation would be ruined!

In the midst of his nervousness, the merchant suddenly thought of a man, a man wearing a mask with an ox head and an exquisite appearance. The man suddenly found him one day, asked him to find a person called Bai Yubai as his bodyguard, then brought Bai Yubai to the underground casino. He was clearly doing the same thing as in the script, but what should he do now!? The arrival of this man who was holding his hand had disrupted all of his plans!
