Nangong Wu also sized him up. He had a fair complexion and looked quite refined, but the way he looked at people made people uncomfortable, revealing a hunter's interest in toying with his prey.

"You're the boss here?"

The man leaned back and nodded. "You could say that."

"That's good." Nangong Wu nodded. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have had enough money to enjoy myself."

"Haha!" The man chuckled twice. "Young Master Huang, you think my 'Money Rolling In' gambling den isn't worth a million taels of silver, since this little bit of silver you have doesn't even amount to a million taels?"

"I have ten million taels of silver notes." Nangong Wu pulled open her cloak, took out a money bag from her waist, and poured out all the silver notes inside.

This time, the amount of money involved was much larger, ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 taels.

"So much silver, what a generous gesture..."

Those around gasped at the sight of so many silver notes, their eyes burning with desire.

The man sat up straight, his gaze on the banknotes becoming increasingly sharp.

"Who are these two? They look to be only in their early twenties, yet they manage to carry ten million taels of silver on them?"

"Since Zhu Yi brought them, they must be from a noble family..."

Nangong Wu listened to the whispers and remained calm. "Boss, do you have an equal amount of wealth to me? If so, we'll begin; otherwise, I'm not playing."

"If these banknotes are genuine, I'll risk my life to accompany you today." The man glanced at Steward Fang.

Manager Fang understood and wanted to check the silver notes on the table.

"Wait a minute." Nangong Wu pressed her hand on the money bag. "You can look if you want, but the money can't leave my hands."

Then she removed them one by one, revealing the bank's seal on them.

Because it is an official banknote, it bears the seals of the Ministry of Revenue, the prefecture, the bank, and other relevant authorities, so it is absolutely genuine.

These silver notes were taken from the Jing Prince's Mansion, the Wan family, and the Fan family. She originally intended to give them to Bei Chenyan, but he said there were too many silver notes to store, so they have been in her space ever since.

The sight of ten million taels of silver notes made the eyes of the surrounding gamblers turn red with envy.

Most of these people were desperate criminals; some even sold their children for money. Seeing so many banknotes, they couldn't wait to rush forward and snatch them.

The people around them drew closer and closer, their greedy eyes fixed on the silver notes on the table. If they could snatch just one, even the smallest one worth ten thousand, they would be set for life.

Bei Chenyan reached for the pistol at his waist, while Pei Xing's hand rested on the hilt of his sword.

"What are you doing standing so close? Get out of the way and hurt Young Master Huang, or you'll regret it!" Zhu Yi drew his sword and pointed it at the people around him.

Upon seeing Zhu Yi's yamen runner uniform, the people around him reluctantly took a few steps back.

"Alright, I've checked my silver. Now it's time to check yours." Nangong Wu looked at the man opposite her.

She's thrown out such a big bait; she doesn't believe he won't take it.

"Manager Fang, reveal our bottom line as well." In the man's mind, those ten million taels of silver were already his.

"This..." Manager Fang hesitated for a moment, then whispered a few words in the man's ear.

Nangong Wu's ears twitched slightly. The voice was very low, but she still heard it. Manager Fang said they didn't have that much silver.

"What? You don't have enough money to gamble? Then we're leaving!" She put away the banknotes and made a move to leave.

"Bring up all the banknotes, cash, and gold," the man ordered.

"Yes!" Manager Fang replied and went to prepare the gambling funds.

"Master, it's just a small gambling den. How could these people possibly come up with ten million taels of silver? Even the national treasury probably couldn't afford that!" Eileen said, somewhat incredulous.

"We don't need them to have that much; we just need to expose all their secrets," Nangong Wu said.

"Someone, close the door. Tonight, I'm only entertaining these two young masters Huang. I don't want to disturb their enjoyment." The man ordered the door to be closed.

Ten million taels of silver are here. Once this gate is closed, they're his.

Upon hearing this, the onlookers' expressions changed slightly, and many quietly withdrew.

In just a short while, the gambling den was almost empty.

They knew that these people would likely not make it out of this door.

But Nangong Wu didn't seem to sense anything was wrong, and nodded in agreement, "That's fine, it'll be quieter this way."

I heard that a few wealthy and powerful people have arrived, so the people who were originally on the second floor and in the basement have all moved to the first floor.

"Bang!" The door slammed shut.

Looking at the people in the room, Nangong Wu realized that almost all the people who were actually gambling had left, and those who remained were probably members of the Snake Spirit Society.

Before long, a dozen or so boxes were carried up, opened, and revealed silver, gold, and some silver notes inside.

"Just this little bit of silver? I'm afraid it's not even a million taels, is it?" Nangong Wu said disdainfully.

"Three hundred and forty thousand, four hundred and twenty thousand silver ingots, and twenty thousand taels of gold," Manager Fang reported.

Nangong Wu did the math, "It's worth about 800,000 taels of silver."

"This is all the money we have right now, but please rest assured, Young Master Huang, I have already sent someone to fetch more from elsewhere. Let's enjoy ourselves for a while," the man said.

"Alright! This money is enough for us to play for a while," Nangong Wu said impatiently. "Let's get started!"

She slapped the word "small" on the 100,000 tael silver note and said, "I'll buy the small one."

"In that case, I'll bet on the big one." The man took out a 100,000 tael silver note from a box and placed it on the word "big".

Manager Fang reached out and picked up the dice cup on the table. With a flick of his arm, three dice fell into the cup and began to shake.

"Buy big or small! Place your bets now!"

Manager Fang shook the dice for a while, then slammed the dice cup down heavily on the table.

"Bang!"

Eileen, inside the spatial dimension, glanced around and exclaimed happily, "Master, it's me! You won!"

Manager Fang opened the dice cup. There were three dice, and five of them were facing up, which was exactly the small number.

"We won!" Pei Xing was overjoyed to have won so much silver in one go and took back all the silver notes with the words "Big" and "Small" on them.

"This time, let's play for something bigger." Nangong Wu placed half of the silver note on the word "small".

"One game to decide the winner. I have five million taels of silver here. If I win, all these chests are mine; if I lose, the five million taels are yours. Do you dare?"

"Young Master Huang is truly a straightforward man! One round to decide the winner, just what I wanted." The man's gaze fell on the silver notes in front of her. "Why don't you all bet all your silver notes, and I'll also bet this gambling house."

"Haha..." Nangong Wu sneered twice, "Your shabby gambling den is worth five million taels of silver? Do you think I'm a fool?"

Hahaha~~

A low chuckle rippled through the crowd, as if mocking her for being a fool!

"I don't want your gambling den. That's all the bets. Let's get started! My time is very precious." Nangong Wu said impatiently.

There are still five more places waiting for her to go.

Manager Fang picked up the dice cup again, scooped it onto the table, and three dice fell into it. He then shook the cup in the air, his arms flying up and down, making the cup spin back and forth...
