Hong Kong film: People in Wo Luen Shing, summoning the King of Fighters.

Inside, a woman with wavy hair, wearing a black short dress and leopard-print high heels, was secretly taking cards from her sleeve, trying to switch the cards in her hand with the cards in her sleeve.

Her movements were very fluid, clearly indicating she was a repeat offender.

Chen Jialuo, hands in his pockets, asked, "When did she arrive?"

Maxima said, "I've been here for over four hours, and I've won three or four hundred thousand by cheating. If my men hadn't told me she was your woman, I would have dragged her out and chopped off her hands long ago."

As he said this, he looked at Chen Jialuo and clicked his tongue, "Brother Luo, this chick doesn't look that great, except for her legs which are somewhat alluring. She's nowhere near as good as your other girls, how did you manage to get her?"

It sounds like I feel sorry for Chen Jialuo.

Chen Jialuo looked at the monitor and said, "You know, it's like climbing a mountain for a man to pursue a woman, but as easy as piercing a veil for a woman to pursue a man."

I was just in a bad mood that night, and the Malay girl was very proactive. Anyway, one wrong step can lead to eternal regret. Looking back, I realized I'd already lived a long life. I silently complained to myself.

Chen Jialu walked towards the door, went out, walked through a long corridor, and then pushed open a security door. What came into view was a casino of more than 500 square meters.

The casino is divided into three sections: horse racing, card games, and dice.

The card betting area was the largest, with a total of twenty tables. Each table was over ten meters long, and at peak times, it could accommodate more than fifty people betting at the same time.

During peak season, the daily turnover here is no less than 300,000, and the monthly net profit is over 9 million. Even in the off-season, it's still around 3 million. The casino is the main source of income for Chen Jialuo.

He went straight to table number 2 in the card area. By then, the Malay girl had already switched the cards, and when the dealer announced the results, she exclaimed with feigned surprise, "Ah! I won! I won!"

· ····Requesting flowers···· ·······

She swept the chips on the table in front of her, and just as the dealer was about to speak, she saw Chen Jialuo grab her.

The Malay girl was startled, thinking she had been caught cheating. Her face turned pale instantly. Turning around, she saw Chen Jialuo and was immediately overjoyed, throwing herself onto him. She wrapped her legs around his waist like a doll.

She exclaimed happily, "You're here! How did you know I was here? Oh, I know, you missed me, didn't you? Well, wait until I finish this game."

... ..... ...

As she spoke, she loosened her grip, wanting to continue playing at the gambling table, but Chen Jialuo grabbed her again, pulling her by the hand and leading her behind the iron gate.

Upon reaching the corridor, Chen Jialuo released her hand. The Malay girl, thinking Chen Jialuo wanted to get intimate with her, tiptoed slightly, pouted, and leaned towards his mouth.

Jialuo reached out and slapped her mouth, saying, "What's going on in your head? How did you end up here cheating? If you get caught, your hand will be chopped off, don't you know that?"

The Malay girl's face instantly showed embarrassment as she asked, "When did you find out? I thought my cheating skills were pretty good."

Jialuo said, "You saw it when you played the first game."

The Malay girl was even more embarrassed. She lowered her head and said, "I just wanted to try it out. Besides, I know this is your place. If I get caught, I'll just say your name and everything will be fine. You don't need to worry."

Jialuo was almost laughing at her words, saying, "I really don't know if you're genuinely stupid or just plain stupid. In casinos, how many men and women have been caught cheating and giving my name? Do you even know? My men don't believe you; they'll just chop you up with a knife, and you'll have nowhere to cry then."

Chapter 412 Maxima's Hidden Meaning

The Malay woman then felt a chill run through her body, swallowed hard, and asked, "So how did you get here?"

Jialuo casually lied, saying, "I just happened to be here to talk to Maxima about something. Maxima was in the monitoring room, and as soon as I got there, I saw him pointing at the monitor and saying he was going to cut off your hand. So I came over."

The Malay woman seized on the loophole and said suspiciously, "You're lying to me, aren't you? You said I was caught cheating the first time, so why are you only arresting me now?"

When Jialuo lies, he doesn't even bother to prepare a draft; he just opens his mouth and fills in the gaps. "If we want to warn others, we'll definitely fatten you up before killing you."

The Malay girl shrank back slightly upon hearing this, feeling a sense of relief, and said with immense gratitude, "It's a good thing you came to do business, otherwise I would have been disabled."

At this point, she suddenly asked, "If I became disabled, would you still love me?"

Jialuo didn't understand why women always talked about love. Did saying it mean it was true? Obviously not.

He said, "I don't love you. Now that you're a normal person, I still don't love you."

The Malay girl's heart skipped a beat. Looking at him, she said, "You really are honest. You won't tell a single lie."

Jialuo shrugged. His relationship with the Malay girl was just a fleeting affair, so there was no need for him to lie.

He said, "I'm an honest person, and I'll never do anything like cheating again."

The Malay woman said sullenly, "I know, but I can't help it, I'm a little short of money."

Jialuo looked at her with surprise and said, "You're the Datuk's man, doesn't he give you money to use?"

The Malay woman's pupils contracted, and she said, "I'm not his woman. I just came here on vacation with him. How could you say that? Oh, do you think we have that kind of relationship?"

Chen Jialuo had absolutely no interest in any of this. He said, "I didn't think about anything."

He then took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out a stack of Hong Kong dollars, and handed it to him, saying, "This is all the cash I have. You can take it. It may not solve your problem, but it's better than nothing."

The Malay girl initially wanted to refuse, but the harsh reality made it impossible for her to maintain her pride. She accepted the offer with embarrassment and shame, feeling as if her self-esteem had been trampled on.

She couldn't help but think, could it be that Chen Jialuo thinks she did that kind of thing with him for money? Yes, yes, he must think she's that kind of person.

Her nose stung with tears, and she lowered her head, pretending to be cheerful as she patted the money on her shoulder, saying, "You, the dignified Crown Prince Luo, are only giving such a small amount of money? It's really not worthy of your status. At least it should be eight thousand, if not ten thousand."

Plop, tears fell to the ground.

At that moment, Maxima came out of the monitoring room, saw him, and shouted, "Brother Luo, let's go see the new guy."

Chen Jialu waved his hand at him, indicating that he understood. He said to the Malay girl, "Yeah, I've always been this stingy. Let me remind you again, don't cheat. Find an ordinary job and live a simple, uneventful life, that's good enough."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Maxima was waiting for him ahead, and when he saw him coming, he handed him the cigarette that was tucked behind his ear.

Chen Jialuo reached out and took it, examined it, and said, "How long has this been around? It looks like it's developed a patina..."

The white cigarette body has turned yellow.

Maxima said, "It hasn't been long. Mad Dog gave it to me two days ago. I haven't touched it. I couldn't bear to eat the Marlboro, so I was thinking of giving it to you, Brother Luo."

Chen Jialuo instantly threw the cigarette at Maxima with disgust, exclaiming, "Damn! Good thing I asked, otherwise I would have inhaled it mixed with your sweaty body. Please, when you take a shower, wash your ears and the back of your head too, damn it!"

Maxima shrank back, not seeing anything wrong with it, and said, "Why do men need to wash themselves so thoroughly? That's enough."

Chen Jialuo said, "Damn it, I don't care how you wash it, just don't give me that cigarette tucked behind your head again."

Maxima chuckled and said, "Okay, okay. Brother Luo, you only smoke the ones in the pack." As he spoke, he took a cigarette out of his pocket, opened the pack, and found there was only one left inside.

He took the cigarette out and handed it to Chen Jialuo, tossing the box aside. He said, "Here you go, boss. Just took it out of the pack. Sigh, this is the last Marlboro of 4.7. I don't know when I'll get another one."

Chen Jialuo took it, put it in his mouth, and Maxima lit it for him with a lighter. After taking a puff, Chen Jialuo laughed and cursed, "You, Maxima, if you want something, just say so. Why do you have to beat around the bush? What, are you afraid I won't give it to you?"

Maxima chuckled, denying it, and said, "I didn't beat around the bush, the facts are the facts. I don't talk like that."

Chen Jialuo glanced at him and said, "Are you implying something?"

Chapter 413 Should I step down from my position as the boss?

Maxima's eyes darted around, and he exclaimed, "Brother Luo, I didn't do that! Don't wrong me. I'm a straightforward person, I don't understand any of that kind of beating around the bush. I could never learn that kind of thing."

“Everyone has their strengths.” Chen Jialuo glanced at Maxima. “People aren’t products on an assembly line, all made from the same mold, even their functions are the same. You should spend more time enriching yourself, instead of always focusing on other things, it will hinder your development.”

He knew who Mark was referring to: Ralph Jones. Ralph was a smooth talker and would often call to check on him, whether there was a reason or not. He called at least once every two days, offering words of comfort and concern.

Mai Shiranui, Leona, Carina—none of them call as frequently as he does. Rachel's abilities are decent, ranking around 14th among his current fighters, and he's good at flattery. Tell me, how could Jialuo not like someone like that?

No one dislikes being flattered or complimented. Chen Jialuo is an extremely vulgar person, so naturally, people tend to like him.

It was common for the venues and funding he was given to exceed the prescribed limits. He considered himself to have kept it very discreet; the only people who knew about it besides himself were Lavrov. He guessed that Lavrov had been drinking and hadn't kept his mouth shut, which Maxima overheard, so he took the opportunity to provoke him.

But no matter what, he wouldn't listen. He's the boss; even ten fingers are of different lengths. What difference would it make if he favored one person? So, with a laugh, he started talking about Maxima.

A hint of displeasure appeared on Maxima's face as he asked, "Brother Luo, that's true, but I think the most important thing is to look at ability. Only in this way can we promote fair competition within a company."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jialuo narrowed his handsome eyes, stared at him, and said, "These two days of training have not been a waste of time. You've even started healthy competition. What, you have a problem with me being the boss? How about I step down from the boss's position and you take over?"

The sharp gaze and cold words made Maxima tremble involuntarily. He was afraid that Chen Jialuo would throw him into the dark room. He never wanted to stay in there again, not even for a second. He still remembered the scene when he was first summoned, when he didn't take Chen Jialuo seriously and was thrown into the dark room. He was unable to move, there was no air, and no food or water.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder again. He regretted what he had just said, and he couldn't help but curse himself inwardly. Had all those training courses been for nothing? He had forgotten the golden rule that a boss is a boss, not a brother, not a friend. "Boss, I only have two words for you—support. I will support whatever decision you make. But how could a roughneck like me be qualified for this position? Only you, Boss, are capable of this. All of us brothers will follow you and fight for you."

He rattled off a long string of words like a machine gun, and by the end, he didn't even know what he was saying anymore, only picking out the nice things to say.

Jialuo said, "Alright, stop flattering me. You said you'd show me something good, but where is it?"

"We'll be there soon, Rhodes," Maxima said.

He led the way, and soon a locked security door came into view. He pulled the key out of his pocket and turned the doorknob twice.

Then he pushed open the door, and Chen Jialuo followed him inside. As soon as he entered, he saw something uneven covered by a white cloth. Maxima lifted the cloth.

Dozens of fine mahogany furniture pieces came into view, unpainted yet, but their high price was already evident. Besides the mahogany furniture, two styrofoam boxes, roughly the size of ordinary freezers, were piled in the corner.

Maxima beckoned Chen Jialuo forward, and Chen Jialuo walked over with one hand in his pocket. Seeing him approach, Maxima opened the lid of a styrofoam box.

Suddenly, the skin of an adult tiger appeared before his eyes. Chen Jialuo couldn't help but reach out and touch it. The skin was soft and warm to the touch. He estimated that the tiger weighed at least 400 kilograms, or 400 jin.

The skinner was very experienced; he started by cutting along the throat, a technique best suited for skinning without damaging the hide. Besides tiger skins, this alley also sold bear and Tibetan sheep skins. The quality was all quite good.

The other box in the corner contained some ivory and tortoise shells. The tortoise shells were shimmering and had very special patterns. Chen Jialuo remembered that they were the shells of hawksbill turtles.

He stood frozen in place. In his time, these were all protected animals; killing even one would land you in jail. But now...

Jialu tilted his head, looked at Maxima, and asked, "Where did you get all these things? They're all good stuff."

Maxima chuckled and said, "There's this guy named Ye Cunzhou who lost over a million at the casino, and he used these things as collateral. These kinds of things aren't common here, so I agreed."
