I attained immortality through meditation in the Great Qian Dynasty.

"What if you lose?"

"I lost. This silver is yours, and so is my life."

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Gambling is just about making money, but this kid is gambling with his life!

Black Tiger licked his chapped lips.

Good! Good! Good! You have a path to heaven but you choose not to take it, and you barge into hell when there's no way out!

Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!

Gambling skills? I've been playing dice for twenty years, how could I lose to some little bastard?

"Okay! I'll bet with you!"

"Let's bet on this!"

"I'll shake it myself!"

After saying that, he pushed aside the dealer who was blocking his way and walked to the head seat of the gambling table.

"Go! Bring me that ebony one from my study!"

The servant scrambled away.

Soon, he returned carrying a wooden dice cup.

This dice cup is larger than ordinary ones, made of dense wood, and extremely heavy.

Black Tiger picked up the dice cup and then selected three ivory dice from a large plate of dice.

"Kid, one last choice, really want to gamble?"

Zhao Zian did not think.

"bet."

"good!"

Black Tiger grabbed the ebony dice cup and shook it!

Shake it! Shake it hard, you bastard!

This ebony dice cup is made of agarwood from the South China Sea, and its inner wall is inlaid with layers of soft fabric.

It is specifically designed to counter those skilled at listening to dice.

I've got my hands on your life!

The ebony dice cup was pinned to the gambling table by Black Tiger.

"Kid! Big or small!"

This black tiger is quite something.

Ordinary people rely on skill and some shady methods to roll dice.

His technique relies purely on the explosive power of his muscles and the wrist strength he has developed over many years.

Even the most skilled dice player would be stumped.

"big."

Black Tiger flipped open the dice cup!

"This...this is impossible!"

One of the gamblers screamed.

six!

six!

five!

665, 5 PM!

It's huge!

And it's the second largest spot after the leopard!

No...not possible!

That's absolutely impossible!

Black Tiger's mind went completely blank.

How could it be big?

With his twenty years of experience, he clearly felt the odds were on the low end! He was absolutely certain of winning!

This kid cheated!

"impossible!"

He snatched the three dice from the table and rubbed them repeatedly in his palm.

There are no mechanisms!

He picked up the ebony dice cup again and turned it over and over.

No interlayer! No magnet! Nothing at all!

Zhao Zian stood up.

"Tiger, I won the bet."

Black Tiger didn't speak, he just stared at him.

Zhao Zian didn't care at all.

"As agreed, all this silver on the table belongs to me."

"However, I'm not very interested in these yellow and white things."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback again.

Free of charge?

Why make such a big commotion, risk your life, and then refuse the money you won?

What exactly does he want to do?

Black Tiger also raised his head.

He had assumed that the other party would take this opportunity to make exorbitant demands.

They either want half of his Four Seas Casino shares, or they want his territory in the south of the city.

"What...what do you really want?"

Zhao Zian smiled.

"I told you, I don't want the money."

I want to be alone.

"one person?"

Black Tiger frowned.

He has many skilled men under his command. Could this kid be trying to poach them?

"Three days ago, wasn't there a man named Li Kang who gambled here and owed money?"

Black Tiger was stunned for a moment.

A steward leaned close to his ear.

"Tiger, it's true. That kid is a gambling addict who gambled away his entire fortune. In the end, he pawned his sister here, saying she would be his concubine."

"You...you came for that girl?" Black Tiger asked.

Zhao Zian nodded.

"The one request I won was her."

"Hand them over."

Black Tiger understands!

How absurd!

How ridiculous!

Is it worth making such a big fuss over a worthless girl?

"What a heroic rescue!"

"Bring men!"

Black Tiger practically roared those two words from his throat.

A thug shoved and dragged a woman out.

The woman was pushed to the center of the hall and nearly fell.

She staggered a few steps before finally regaining her balance.

Zhao Zian looked at Li Hongyun.

Her clothes were plain, coarse cloth, typical of a peasant woman, but even so, they couldn't hide her slender figure.

She was slender, yet possessed a graceful, delicate charm.

Black Tiger was also slightly taken aback.

He had seen far too many women who wore heavy makeup and acted coquettishly.

But I've never seen anyone like this before; even though she looked haggard, she was still incredibly charming.

Li Hongyun instinctively hugged her arms tightly, her eyes darting away.

Her gaze swept over Zhao Zian.

She recognized Zhao Zi'an.

Zhao Zian's gaze also fell on her.

"Bring the person over here."

The thug who had pushed Li Hongyun out gave her another push, albeit somewhat reluctantly.

Li Hongyun came over and hid behind Zhao Zian.

Black Tiger sighed. If he had known Li Hongyun was so beautiful, he should have taken care of things much earlier.

"Young Master Zhao, you have skillful methods! Since you have won, you may take this person with you!"

He gestured for Zhao Zian to hurry up and leave.

Zhao Zian said to Li Hongyun indifferently, "Let's go."

Li Hongyun nodded.

Outside the gambling den.

Li Hongyun felt a sense of relief.

She knelt down in front of Zhao Zian.

Zhao Zian heard a noise behind him and turned around.

"Uncle..."

Li Hongyun's voice choked with sobs, almost choked with tears.

"I can never repay your immense kindness!"

She knew that if it weren't for Zhao Zian, she would probably have become the plaything of those filthy people tonight.

Zhao Zian frowned slightly.

Get up.

Li Hongyun did not move.

Zhao Zian knew that she was genuinely grateful.

But he saved her not for this show.

"I said, get up. The ground is cold, don't get cold."

Li Hongyun then used her hands to support herself on the ground and stood up.

Her legs were a little numb, and her body swayed. Zhao Zian reached out and supported her arm.

"Thank you, Uncle..."

She withdrew her arm.

Zhao Zian withdrew his hand and asked, "Do you still want to go home?"

If she wants to go home, he can find a way to take her back.

"go home?"

Li Hongyun suddenly looked up.

"No! I won't go back!"

"My mother sold me for my brother's sake! I'll never go back to that home!"

Tears blurred her vision again.

She thought Zhao Zian would think she was unfilial and ungrateful.

After all, in the eyes of the villagers, parents and brothers are always the most important people.

Zhao Zian waited until she finished speaking before saying, "In that case, you should go to my house first."

"Sister-in-law, she's very worried about you."

"But...I..." Li Hongyun hesitated.

She felt that with her current status, how could she possibly set foot in the Zhao family's home?

That would cause trouble for the Zhao family and for my sister.

Zhao Zian interrupted her thoughts.

"There's no 'but' about it."

"Let's go back to my house first. My sister-in-law will make arrangements for you."

Li Hongyun nodded.

She had nowhere to retreat; she had no choice but to trust Zhao Zi'an.

......

Gambling den.

Black Tiger sat in the chair, his face grim.

"Tiger, are we really just going to let this go?"

"One of the thugs asked."

Black Tiger smashed the teacup on the ground.

"Investigate! Investigate for me!"

"Find out who that kid really is!"
