Pirate King: I'm determined to be the King of Sons-in-Law!

Chapter 197 Tea Pig's Reminder

The lobby on the first floor of the King of Gold Hotel.

The hall, which resembles a plaza, is filled with all kinds of gambling tables; every imaginable type is available.

In the center of the hall, there is a small arena where guests can even send people to participate. If they win, becoming a billionaire overnight is not difficult.

Bakara greeted them, and soon a servant brought over a box of chips, which was respectfully presented to Loya.

"Black-haired Lieutenant General, here are 3000 million Berries in chips, a free gift from Lord Tesoro. If you don't want to play anymore, you can exchange them for Berries!"

"Wow, that's really generous."

Loya raised an eyebrow in surprise.

If the 3000 million Pelé chips were lent to him, he could understand, but giving them to him as a gift seemed a bit too "friendly".

This was quite different from the Tesoro he remembered. Given that guy's personality, he shouldn't have gone to such lengths to please him.

Could there be some unexpected change here?

Loya nodded almost imperceptibly, signaling Lu Yun to take the chips. Since Mr. Tesoro was so generous, he couldn't spoil the fun.

Play along with him!

"Loya, let's go watch the fight!"

Yamato didn't think too much about it and excitedly scanned the hall, his eyes fixed on the arena in the center.

Playing cards is a bit too difficult for her; simpler games are better.

"it is good."

Loya smiled and nodded, focusing intently on playing with Yamato.

Perhaps it's because of a different perspective, but he has little interest in gambling. No matter where he is, as long as he has the power and status, he will never lack money.

If you don't lack money, you won't crave unexpected wealth.

The two arrived at the arena, found a seat, and Yamato watched the fight below, yelling excitedly.

"Press on Red! Red!"

The silly girl had been locked up on Ghost Island for too long, so anything interesting or new could pique her interest.

While playing with Yamato, Loya kept an eye on the gamblers around him and spotted more than a dozen well-known wanted criminals in less than three minutes.

And the navy.

"Wait, could that man be...?"

Loya's gaze sharpened, and he whispered a signal for Lu Yun to watch over Yamato before getting up and leaving to go to a gambling den next to the arena.

A group of old men sat together, playing a dice game.

Loya sat down cross-legged and greeted him with a smile: "Vice Admiral Chaton, it's quite a surprise to see you here."

"Loya, buddy?"

Chaton was also surprised to see Loya.

It wasn't that he was surprised to see Loya, but rather that Loya came to greet him. Although they were both lieutenant generals in the headquarters and had met a few times, this was the first time the two had spoken.

Loya chuckled and teased, "Where's Vice Admiral Momousagi? I've heard that you and Vice Admiral Momousagi are inseparable."

"Brother Loya is joking."

Tea Pig gave a wry smile.

His pursuit of Gion was widely known within the Navy, but most people just wanted to laugh at him.

After all, his confession had been rejected by Gion nearly a hundred times, which was hardly a glorious thing, but he had long since gotten used to it.

"Miss Gion went upstairs."

Chaton sighed helplessly. He wanted to follow Gion, but Gion ignored him and stayed downstairs to play.

Perfect timing, an old friend is here too.

The old man sitting next to Chaton looked up, revealing a crisscrossing scar between his brows and a blank look in his eyes.

"Brother Jiaji, are you a friend of yours?"

"Brother Yixiao, Lieutenant General Luo Ya is the black-haired guy who's been causing a lot of trouble lately. You should have heard of him."

Tea Pig introduced it to his old friend.

"So you're the black-haired lieutenant general. My apologies."

"Mr. Yixiao, you're too kind."

Loya responded politely.

The man before me is the future Admiral Fujitora, and he and Chaton seem to be old friends who have known each other for many years.

"Brother Yixiao, hurry, the market is about to open!"

"Ah, I haven't decided which one to bet on yet!"

Well, I should say fair-weather friends.

Watching the two old gamblers anxiously waiting for the betting to start, Loya couldn't help but feel exasperated. Couldn't they be a little more reliable?

"Loya!"

A short while later, Yamato arrived, completely satisfied.

Loya stood up and left: "Well then, I'll take my leave first. Vice Admiral Chaton, Mr. Issho, we must have a drink sometime."

"Wait a minute, Loya."

Chaton called out to Loya, hesitated slightly, and glanced at Yamato, giving him a meaningful reminder.

"Be careful when you get back."

"Thanks."

Loya felt a chill run down his spine.

Cha-ton is a veteran lieutenant general with a reputation for being a good-natured person and enjoys high prestige among the people. His reminder could not have been unfounded.

Is someone in the Navy targeting him?

He is quite sensible in his actions. Although he has caused a lot of trouble and often disobeys orders, these are minor issues.

The lieutenant general in this unit won't be so easily dismissed.

But if they start with the people around him...

Loya looked at Yamato waiting to the side. There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. Yamato's identity will be exposed sooner or later, and he is the easiest target.

"interesting!"

He wanted to see who was foolish enough to target him.

Slot machines, racing games

After spending some more time with Yamato, the two went to the hotel's viewing balcony to rest and watch a performance at Bakala's invitation.

Below is the largest stage in Golden City.

The audience area was packed, with everyone eagerly awaiting the performance.

"Show Time!"

As the band played their hearts out, Tezzolo stepped onto the golden stage amidst the adoring gaze of the crowd.

After a simple opening performance, Tezzolo snapped his fingers, and a large amount of gold poured out from the water below, forming another stage wrapped in flower petals.

"We also have a special guest today who will be performing with me!"

"Clatter!"

The petals unfolded, revealing the mysterious guests inside, including the lead singer and several backup dancers.

"So fast! So fast! So fast!"

"I'd be so popular if I lost weight."

That's why I deliberately don't lose weight.

"Funk!"

Under the spotlight, her round body moved nimbly as she sang and danced!

It's a punk band from the beasts!

The atmosphere at the scene was instantly ignited by the high-energy punk performance, and the audience shouted "Funk!"

Hotel observation deck.

"puff!!!"

Loya and Yamato both spat out their drinks at the same time.

"Quinn???"

Loya was a little confused.

This guy must be Quinn, right?

You probably can't find another fat guy this good in the whole world.

"It's Quinn!"

Yamato pointed at the stage and yelled, "Is he here to take me back?!"

No, I don't think so.

Loya waved his hand forcefully.

Thinking about it carefully, Quinn's appearance in the Golden City wasn't entirely unexpected, but the way he made his entrance was truly shocking.

Putting aside personal likes and dislikes, it has to be said that Quinn's performance was indeed quite exciting, as can be seen from the audience's reaction.

Also, Tesoro and Quinn seem to get along really well!

Loya frowned, somewhat puzzled. Recalling Chaton's earlier reminder, he felt increasingly uneasy.
