I practiced my spirituality alone in Hong Kong.

Fu Zongze knew that it was possible to bring Wen Zhilan to this place that had absolutely nothing to do with her identity.

It could only be this ordinary-looking young man in front of him, whose demeanor struck him as somewhat peculiar.

In the instant their eyes met, Li Chang'an also sensed the extraordinary nature of the man in front of him who was of Portuguese descent.

Since he began his cultivation, Li Chang'an has met many people with impressive presence.

For example, Huang Zhengli, the "King of Legs" in Hong Kong's martial arts world, possesses the dignified and aloof demeanor of a traditional martial artist.

Chen Dingkun, the heir of Wo Shing Wo, appears gentle and refined on the outside, but harbors a sharp and ruthless nature within, possessing the cunning and shrewdness of a triad tycoon who has risen to power through clean-up.

But Fu Zongze's aura far surpasses theirs.

It's the aura of someone who has long held a high position; even though he's just standing in front of you, you feel as if you're being looked down upon.

Many people would probably feel their legs go weak just standing in front of him, let alone being stared at by him.

But for Li Chang'an, this kind of imposing aura of a powerful official was nothing more than that.

After killing Lin Guoyun, he clearly understood his own strength level.

Without the intervention of firearms, he is a tiger within ten steps who can easily take a life.

Whether you are an emperor or a nobleman, or a commoner, there is no difference when you are in the tiger's mouth.

This great power stemmed from his own self-confidence, allowing Li Chang'an to calmly face Fu Zongze's scrutiny.

"Hahaha~"

Fu Zongze suddenly laughed.

"You're quite an interesting young man. This is the first time I've seen someone look at me with such calmness and confidence. No wonder Xiaolan is willing to date you."

"Uncle Fu, what are you saying? Li Chang'an and I are just friends..."

Wen Zhilan felt a sudden panic and quickly began to explain.

Fu Zongze waved his hand and said:

"Young man, your name is Li Chang'an, right? Are you going to participate in this race later? How long have you been training as a professional motorcyclist?"

"Never trained professionally."

"Coming to the competition without any training?"

Fu Zongze glanced down at the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Sport Steel watch on his wrist and said:

"Alright, the match starts in five minutes. How about we make a bet?"

"What are we betting on?"

"If you win first place in tonight's competition, I'll pretend I never met Xiaolan tonight."

"On the contrary, I will tell Mr. Wen about Xiao Lan sneaking off to Kowloon with you tonight."

Mr. Wen is extremely strict with his family; you might never have the chance to see Xiaolan again in your life.

Fu Zongze revealed a calm smile, then took out three warm ivory dice and played with them in his hand.

"Let's add a little game: guess whether the dice are big or small."

There are no prizes for winning or losing; it's just for fun. The answer will be revealed after the competition.

"Okay, but I'd like the class monitor to roll the dice."

Fu Zongze narrowed his eyes, looking somewhat displeased, but still handed the dice to Wen Zhilan.

Wen Zhilan threw the dice into the dice cup, started shaking it, and then put it aside.

Li Chang'an stared into Fu Zongze's eyes and said:

"I bet on a leopard, and this leopard must be a triple 1 (one of three identical digits)."

Fu Zongze gave him a deep look.

"The 'One Leopard' is also known as the 'Heavenly Leopard,' and it's the hardest leopard to appear. Young people, it's not a good thing to get into extreme gambling."

"But if you bet on 'one leopard', then I'll bet on 'big'."

Watching Fu Zongze leave, Wen Zhilan walked to Li Chang'an's side, her expression somewhat worried.

"Uncle Fu is very skilled at riding motorcycles."

Although he is not a professional driver, his skills are not much weaker than those of international professional drivers. He has privately raced on all the tracks in Hong Kong and Macau with John McDonald, who is known as the legend of the Macau Guia Grand Prix.

Mr. John has praised Uncle Fu's skills on many occasions.

John McDonald, four-time champion of the Macau Grand Prix, champion of the Macau Grand Prix Motorcycle Race, and champion of the first Guia Motorcycle Race.

The only rider in Macau to have simultaneously won the Grand Prix championships in motorcycle, car, and touring car categories; an internationally renowned professional rider.

Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an calmly replied:

"Trust me, class monitor."

"Besides, I've already won the first step."

"Winning the first step?"

Wen Zhilan glanced at the dice cup beside her, and with her keen intelligence, she instantly realized what was going on.

In intense, even life-threatening, competitive events, many athletes habitually prepare a token to relieve stress and boost confidence.

This can greatly affect a player's performance on the day.

For example, Alan Jones, the 1980 Formula One World Champion, considered a pair of red underwear to be his lucky charm.

During the final round of the Canadian World Championship that year, he discovered before the race that he had left his lucky red underwear, which was a symbol of his birth year, in his caravan at Brands Hatch circuit in the UK.

But he had already flown to Canada. In extreme anxiety, he panicked and immediately sent his wife back to England to find the lucky underwear.

They even arranged for an overnight international express mail service to send the lucky underwear from the UK to the Canadian competition venue.

Finally, Alan Jones, wearing his lucky red underwear, won the race and secured the F1 World Championship.

Fu Zongze naturally also has his own lucky charm.

When he suggested using dice to bet on big or small without placing any bets, Li Chang'an keenly realized that his lucky charm was the dice.

It is highly likely that Fu Zongze would make a bet with other players before each competition.

As the son of the gambling king, he must have a way to ensure that he wins every dice game and his opponent loses.

This is how one establishes a psychological advantage over others.

That's the balance of victory and fortune, and it's on my side.

This psychological advantage is like stacking buffs in a game, allowing players to perform at 120% of their potential!

Li Chang'an's decision to have Wen Zhilan roll the dice caused the dice rolls to slip out of Fu Zongze's control, casting uncertainty into his belief in victory.

Li Chang'an then proposed the odds of winning the "one-leopard" bet.

But whether it's a leopard or not is not important; what's important is raising this extreme possibility.

This will further increase the uncertainty in Fu Zongze's mind, which will definitely affect his performance in the game.

Perhaps at some point in the game, this seemingly insignificant psychological impact will be magnified infinitely, ultimately leading to his complete defeat.

Wen Zhilan felt that, given Uncle Fu's insight, he must have realized Li Chang'an's scheme.

But he couldn't refuse, because he was the one who proposed the bet.

He fell into Li Chang'an's open conspiracy.

buzz-

The roar of a motorcycle engine at the starting line ahead pulled Wen Zhilan back to reality.

The match is about to begin.

The competitors are starting their motorcycles on the spot, rolling the tires over the ground to heat them up and increase their grip.

Li Chang'an pushed his Honda motorcycle and said before leaving:

"Class monitor, I will definitely beat Mr. Fu."

"I'm the class monitor's only believer. I can't just never see my idol again."

Wen Zhilan was somewhat touched, and couldn't help but chuckle. She whispered reproachfully:

"Can't you say something nice? Someone who's been trapped like this isn't a bodhisattva, she's clearly a princess, okay!"

After Wen Zhilan finished speaking, she watched Li Chang'an get on his motorcycle and added a sentence to herself.

And the one who can save the princess is not a believer... but a prince.
