Urban Cultivation: Starting with Winning Back My Wife and Daughter

The atmosphere became incredibly tense, with everyone's eyes fixed on the dice cup.

Only Wang Xingyu remained relaxed, leaning back in his chair with his legs crossed, watching the bald dealer's actions with a smile.

The bald croupier shook the drum for a full half minute without putting it down, his forehead covered in sweat.

It turned out that Wang Xingyu had secretly attached his divine sense to the three dice, causing the bald dealer's ability to listen to the dice to become completely ineffective.

Is it possible for a dealer who can't tell the dice rolls to win?

The answer is of course no.

After shaking the dice for another half minute, the bald dealer still hadn't put down the dice cup.

The gamblers couldn't wait any longer.

"Why don't you just put it down already?"

"Are you even capable? It's been a whole minute already."

"A win is a win, and a loss is a loss. What's the point of dragging this out like this?"

.......

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Lu Jian sensed something was wrong, and his face turned extremely pale.

Keep in mind that this is a billion US dollars; you can't usually earn that much money in a quarter.

Half a minute later, Wang Xingyu slightly relaxed his control over the dice, allowing the bald dealer to hear the sounds coming from inside.

The bald dealer was overjoyed and, seizing the opportunity, immediately slammed the dice cup face down on the table.

Unbeknownst to him, the moment the dice fell onto the table, Wang Xingyu had already used his divine sense to change the numbers on the three dice.

Wang Xingyu chuckled and said, "I thought you were going to shake it for another half hour."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Everyone burst into laughter.

The bald croupier wiped his sweat with a towel handed to him by a staff member and asked, "Can we start now?"

"certainly."

Wang Xingyu made a gesture of invitation.

The bald dealer removed the dice cup.

Everyone looked over at the same time.

"1, 1, 2, four points."

"Holy crap, we won."

That's freaking amazing!

"How did he do that from so far away? Was it magic?"

......

The bald dealer said incredulously, "This is impossible. I clearly rolled three sixes."

Wang Xingyu said calmly, "Nothing is impossible. Your gambling skills are terrible."

The bald croupier pointed at Wang Xingyu and shouted sternly, "You're cheating!"

Wang Xingyu smiled and said, "Your surveillance cameras have been pointed at me the whole time. I guess the technical department is watching my every move. Mr. Lu, you can check it frame by frame. If you find anything wrong, I'll refund the entire billion dollars, and I'll leave my hands in your casino. If you can't find anything, then you, the chief dealer, are framing me. My request isn't much; just leave his hands. What do you say?"

Lu Jian had already heard the technical department's report through his earpiece. Upon hearing this, he said, "Mr. Wang, please calm down. He's a bit desperate after losing so much. I apologize on his behalf. Could you please provide me with an account? I'll transfer one billion US dollars to your card right away. Our casino admits defeat today, so please don't push us too far."

Wang Xingyu stood up and said, "I never intended to wipe them out. This billion dollars was just a lesson for your casino. No matter how incompetent the Lin family may be, they are not someone your Tianming Group and that little Guo family in Hong Kong can touch."

"Who's spouting such nonsense here?"

A loud, arrogant voice rang in everyone's ears.

Everyone turned to look and saw a handsome man in his thirties with a cool expression, dressed in Armani, appear in the VIP room.

Needless to say, this person is Guo Jun from Hong Kong Island.

He was followed by four men, Lin Shuo, and Lin Le.

Lin Shuo and Lin Le's eyes lit up when they saw Wang Xingyu and Lin Yingfan.

Although the two were not subjected to any abuse, being locked in a hotel room without internet access or the ability to go out was still very difficult.

Wang Xingyu ignored Guo Jun and instead handed a bank card to Lu Jian, saying, "Transfer the money. I won't be coming to your casino again."

Lu Jian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Wang."

Guo Jun stopped about five meters away from Wang Xingyu.

He glanced at Wang Xingyu, then at Lin Yingfan, and said, "Young Master Lin, this gentleman doesn't seem to be a member of the Lin family, does he?"

Lin Yingfan said, "He is my brother-in-law and is fully responsible for handling matters between us."

Guo Jun said, "That makes things easier. Give me 1.8 billion US dollars, and we'll each go our own way."

Wang Xingyu stood up and said, "It's only 1.8 billion US dollars, which is nothing to the Lin family. However, you have to give us a chance to win it back."

Guo Jun raised an eyebrow and said, "You don't have time for another bet with me."

Wang Xingyu snapped his fingers, and Lin Yingfan understood, taking a document out of his briefcase.

"This is a 10% share transfer agreement for Lin's Realty, betting on the 3% share and 1.8 billion US dollars you win."

Wang Xingyu waved the documents in his hand, a smile on his face, and said, "Young Master Guo, dare to play again?"

Lin Yingfan tried to provoke him, saying, "Brother-in-law, let it go. The Guo family is on the decline. Even if you gave Young Master Guo the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to gamble with you on this."

Guo Jun sneered, "What a clumsy attempt at provocation."

Wang Xingyu said calmly, "The people who can gamble in this VIP room are all top figures in their respective industries. You can choose not to gamble today, but within three days, high-ranking people in various circles will know that you, Guo Jun, are a coward. At the same time, in the next month, I will publicize in Hong Kong that you, Young Master Guo, have acted like a coward. At that time, it won't just be you who will be embarrassed, but the entire Guo family."

Damn, this guy is ruthless!

Everyone secretly complained to themselves.

The wealthy families in Hong Kong Island are not short of money, so what they value most is never money, but face and the glory of their family.

Wang Xingyu's actions were undoubtedly a dirty trick on Guo Jun.

If he were allowed to criticize Guo Jun as a coward for a month on the internet and in newspapers, Guo Jun would become a laughing stock in Hong Kong's elite circles.

It could even affect his eligibility to become the successor of the Guo family.

Guo Jun's face turned ashen. He said, "Fine. Since you want to gamble, I'll gamble with you."

Wang Xingyu asked, "What did you bet with those two about?"

Guo Jun said in a deep voice, "All in."

Wang Xingyu nodded and said, "Then let's go all in. Ten percent of Lin's Real Estate's shares are worth about 42 billion. You have three percent of Lin's Real Estate's shares and 1.8 billion US dollars, which is about 24 billion. I won't cheat you, let's cap it at 24 billion."

Guo Jun sneered, "No need. I have three billion US dollars in my account, which adds up to about four hundred and forty billion. In terms of wealth, you may not even be as good as me."

Wang Xingyu said, "Then let's cap it at 44 billion Xia Yuan. That number is too high, how about converting it to 7 billion US dollars? What do you think?"

Guo Jun said, "Sure. But I doubt you have that much money."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jian walked over and respectfully handed the bank card to Wang Xingyu, saying, "Young Master Guo, you can rest assured. Mr. Wang has four billion US dollars in his account, and there are absolutely no problems with the funds."

Guo Jun said, "Alright, let's bet seven billion US dollars. The base bet for each round is one hundred million US dollars, and each bet must be no less than one hundred million US dollars. Let's finish this quickly; I don't have time to waste with you."

Wang Xingyu made an OK sign and said, "No problem."

A commotion broke out at the scene.

"Today I'm going to have my eyes opened."

"The $14 billion bet between the two sides is likely to break all records."

"This is the best bet ever. All those other so-called big bets before are nothing compared to this."

"Exciting! I'm feeling quite excited right now."

......

Half an hour later, Wang Xingyu and Guo Jun, led by Lu Jian, entered the largest VIP room.

According to casino rules, when dealing with large bets exceeding one hundred million US dollars, they take a 3% cut.

In other words, Tianming Casino didn't have to do anything; it just provided some services and still earned $4.2 million. It was incredibly profitable.

Lin Shuo and Lin Le have been sent to Lin Yingfan's side.

The two of them lowered their heads, too ashamed to utter a single word.

There were about a hundred people sitting in the VIP room.

There is a large screen at the very front.

Everything happening at the gambling table can be seen by everyone on a large screen.

Wang Xingyu and Guo Jun each sat opposite each other at a gambling table, with seventy chips representing one hundred million US dollars in front of them.

To ensure a fair betting game, the dealer wore only a vest and shorts.

Although it was somewhat unseemly, it completely eliminated his chance to help others cheat.

Don't assume that the so-called card-switching techniques shown on TV will work in real life.

Under top-tier surveillance cameras, slowed down fifty times, all your tricks will be wasted.

If it's discovered that you cheated, not only will you lose the money back, but you'll also lose your hands—that's the rule.

Everyone held their breath.

The betting begins.

Wang Xingyu and Guo Jun simultaneously threw in a chip.

The machine shuffled the cards, and the dealer dealt them one hole card and one face-up card.

Wang Xingyu has the Ace of Hearts, and Guo Jun has the 4 of Diamonds.

Guo Jun picked up the card and looked at it, his expression calm, revealing no flaw whatsoever.

Wang Xingyu didn't even look at his cards, and said with a smile, "It seems like I'm the one speaking. So, five hundred million US dollars it is then."

Guo Jun's pupils contracted slightly. "Aren't you going to look at your cards?" he asked.

Wang Xingyu shook his head and said, "I don't want to see it. I want to experience the thrill of the moment the cards are revealed."

In fact, the entire deck of cards was under Wang Xingyu's divine sense, so he couldn't hide what cards the two had from him.

In other words, the moment Guo Jun agreed to the bet on the license, he had already lost.

Guo Jun's hole card is a 2 of diamonds, which gives him the opportunity to form a straight flush, a flush, and a straight.

"I agree."

Guo Jun threw in five chips.

The dealer dealt the third card, and Wang Xingyu received a 3 of diamonds, while Guo Jun received a 2 of spades.

Wang Xingyu smiled and said, "It's me speaking again. Mr. Guo, it seems your luck isn't so good."

Although Guo Jun no longer had the chance to form a flush or a straight, he gained two 2s, which greatly boosted his confidence.

"How do you know I'm unlucky if you haven't even seen the cards?"

Wang Xingyu knew that as long as Guo Jun dared to continue, he would definitely win the first round, so he said, "I've always believed in the saying that luck in cards depends on momentum. Whoever has the stronger momentum has a greater chance of winning. Since my first two cards were higher than yours, you're bound to lose this round."

After saying that, Wang Xingyu picked up twenty chips and threw them in, saying, "One billion US dollars."

"Holy crap."

"They didn't even look at their cards, just two cards, and they dared to bet 1.5 billion US dollars. That's incredibly audacious."

"See that? Both of them are clearly gambling masters; their facial expressions are perfectly controlled."

"With a total betting pool of 14 billion, they're not going to go all in on the very first hand, are they?"

......

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

A wealthy man, his face flushed with excitement, quickly took out a nitroglycerin pill and swallowed it.

Even so, his eyes remained fixed on the big screen.

Guo Jun did not hesitate at all and said, "I will give you one billion US dollars."

The fourth card was dealt.

Wang Xingyu has a 3 of hearts, and Guo Jun has a King of spades.

"Ha ha ha ha"

Wang Xingyu laughed and said, "It's me speaking again. Let's go all out and bring in another 1.5 billion US dollars."

Guo Jun's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes revealed a solemn look.

He only had two 2s, while Wang Xingyu had two 3s.

There's only one card left. If a useless card comes along, it's all over.

Guo Jun could tell that Wang Xingyu had extremely strong mental fortitude.

Trying to steal a chicken from him is not an easy thing.

Thinking this through, Guo Jun covered up three cards and said, "I'm not calling."

Wang Xingyu was taken aback, and a sense of admiration rose in his heart.

This guy is pretty decisive.

"Young Master Guo, your trump card isn't a 2, is it? Otherwise, why did you run away so fast?"

Wang Xingyu said with a playful tone.

Guo Jun seemed unaffected, his expression calm, and said, "The hand is too weak to withstand, so naturally we have to concede."

Wang Xingyu nodded and said, "No wonder you were able to beat Lin Shuo and Lin Le; your mental fortitude is far superior to theirs. By the way, would you like to see my trump card?"

Guo Jun said calmly, "It's definitely not 3."

Wang Xingyu flipped it over and saw a 2 of clubs. He laughed and said, "Very wise. Your next card is almost certainly not going to be a 2."

Guo Jun looked at the dealer and said, "Next round."

The dealer shredded the playing cards with a shredder, took out a new deck, shuffled it three times in a row, and said, "Please."

Guo Jun tossed down a chip and said, "I want to cut the cards, remove the first six."

"Swish, swish, swish"

The dealer worked extremely fast, removing six cards in an instant and putting them into the shredder.

Wang Xingyu said, "I also want to cut the deck, keeping only the last ten cards."

"Swish, swish, swish"

The dealer counted out the last ten cards and put all the rest into the shredder.

Since Wang Xingyu was the winner of the previous round, the dealer had to deal cards to him first.

Wang Xingyu had precisely grasped this point, which is why he only kept the last ten.

Judging from the cards on the table, Guo Jun will have three 4s, one Ace, and one Queen, with the 4s being the hole cards.

You will have three 3s and a pair of 10s, with the 3s being the bottom card.

Most importantly, Wang Xingyu was completely dominated by Guo Jun, who had the final say in every round, which gave Guo Jun the opportunity to go all in.

Sure enough, after the two cards, one face down and one face up, were dealt, Wang Xingyu received the 3 of hearts and the 10 of spades as the bottom card.

Guo Jun's hole cards were the 4 of hearts and the ace of clubs.
