He slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
Just as things were getting a little bad, a man folded up his umbrella and quietly squeezed near the gambling table.
Lightning was thinking of a solution when she suddenly felt a light tap on her shoulder.
She turned around, startled at first, then a fleeting look of joy: "Commander... Mr. Luo?"
The voice was so low that it went unnoticed by others, who assumed it was just some nobody the beautiful lady knew.
Luo Fan nodded, then asked, "What's the situation now? Were you caught cheating?"
"...Not yet, but MCX went a bit too far, getting two flushes and getting suspected by a bigwig in the Quinn Consortium."
Lightning was also somewhat troubled, but there was nothing she could do, since she couldn't let others discover that they had conspired together.
It's fair to say that no one present, except those already in the casino, was in a position to help MCX out of the predicament. After all, if they did, they might be suspected of colluding with the casino to rip people off. Therefore, Tom and 16 Pigeon needed a legitimate reason to show up and help.
The two were still arguing, but MCX seemed to be enjoying himself, which could make the situation worse. It seemed necessary to step in and resolve the issue.
"Where are the casino managers? Pull up her sleeves or clothes, I refuse to believe there aren't hidden cards inside!"
"Hey, isn't it a bit inappropriate to get physical?"
MCX wasn't afraid of the other party, but their aggressive attitude was really annoying, and she didn't want to cause them too much trouble or future problems.
"Who knows if you touched or groped anyone when you were drawing the cards?"
Unfortunately, the enraged mad dog bit people in their territory.
As a gang leader, power naturally gave him the capital to be arrogant, and he often had blood on his hands, so this female gambler in front of him was no exception.
He lost money and face, so he has to give me something in return.
"Take off your clothes to check, or come with me for the night, otherwise you'll crawl out tonight."
He snatched the bottle, smashed it, and pointed the sharp edge at MCX.
Amidst the awkward laughter, MCX glanced sideways at his teammates, looking as if he were asking for help.
"Why is everyone staring?! Someone come and help me, I'm being dragged into a car!"
However, the girls only saw one thing: "Commander, you don't even dare to get four five-star units in one construction run, how come you get two straight flushes...?"
Fortunately, she spotted a rather conspicuous figure among the group of people dressed in black, who was winking at her repeatedly.
"Okay, OK~"
......
“Hey buddy, calm down, I’ll treat you to that bottle of Château Danish wine.”
A hand slowly pressed down on the bottle in his hand, and he then realized that a young man had unknowingly come to his side, seemingly intending to stop him.
He was a stranger, but the other soldiers didn't stop him; perhaps he was from somewhere else...
"Who are you? Do we know each other?"
Although caution was necessary, he still found himself more attracted to the beautiful woman in front of him.
“I’m just a local from the Thomson family. I won’t say more. Just understand that you’ve messed with my woman.”
Luo Fan maintained his polite smile, after all, he himself hoped that things could be resolved in a simpler way.
It all depends on whether the other party is willing or not...
484. Making trouble
"Are you from this family?"
"Yes, although our status isn't very high, we're still considered official members. The conglomerate probably wouldn't want to start a fight with us right now, would it?"
Although the ever-smiling man claimed to be of low status, many people should have heard rumors of his arrival in the "Promised Land" tonight. As a formal member of the family, he would certainly have heard something. And given that he knew his identity, the fact that he could still speak to him so naturally meant his status was definitely not low...
"But what if I said I'm interested in your woman?" He still chose to take a bite of the fatty meat. If it wasn't as tough as he had imagined, the white chunk of meat was quite delicious in his mouth.
......
Luo Fan closed her eyes slightly, then glanced at MCX behind her. At this moment, her predicament was no longer there, and she only looked like she was watching the show and cheering herself on.
Emmmmmm.......
After a moment's thought, Luo Fan smiled and said, "Okay."
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Everyone present was stunned. How could their attitude change so quickly?
"But you have to play a game with me. If you win, I'll let her stay with you for the night."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the man had already returned to the dealer's seat at the gambling table.
...It's just a gamble; you won't lose much even if you lose, so you can give it a try.
“Okay,” Joris nodded, then sat back down.
This time, the two chose the relatively simple five-card game. Fewer people meant less competition, but more importantly, it required skill.
The problem is that Luo Fan had no intention of actually gambling with him, but rather to teach him a lesson so that Tang Ge and his group could take action legitimately. That was his real goal.
Grina, however, did not see through Luo Fan's thoughts and could only feel nervous for him as she washed the cards in her hands.
It should be said that, apart from the two godfathers and the Iron-Blooded Dolls hiding behind the screen, no one else could figure out Luo Fan's purpose. MCX was sweating profusely with tension, as if she had been put on the table as gambling chips...
Oh no, this is terrible! The commander's hands smell so bad, she's going to lose her chastity tonight!
After the shuffling was finished, the cards were slowly dealt to the two players.
As he received the cards, Luo Fan slowly arranged them, then smiled and said, "You're from the conglomerate, right? Why didn't you tell me you were coming to the venue all of a sudden?"
Joris's attention was drawn to the man sitting opposite him, who didn't even look at him, but was just arranging his hand of cards.
He couldn't possibly not know; perhaps he was just asking casually...
"The stakes are high here, and there are new ways to play. As for mentioning it, I already did. Also, what about the Danish Manor you mentioned?"
"Here you are, I'll definitely take care of you~"
Luo Fan casually picked up a bottle of wine from beside his feet and rolled it across the table.
"..."
This attitude displeased Joris, but he still accepted the bottle of expensive wine and had his men pour it into his glass.
"Is this all you're offering as a settlement fee? Can't you come up with anything else decent? Or is it that besides a bunch of women, you have nothing else to offer but to make money by spreading your legs?"
......
Luo Fan was finally drawn to the other party's attention, and slowly raised his eyes, which were full of coldness and hostility.
Even the girls at the table seemed restless, as if they were ready to tear it to shreds at any moment...
Just as he was about to play his card, Luo Fan waved his hand: "That's still better than someone taking the family's money and going to gamble in other people's places. Things have been so peaceful lately, there's no fighting, so we can only be parasites, right?"
His words were equally sharp, but he wasn't done yet; he had plenty of time to waste.
“You’ve fallen so low that you have no work to do and can only live in a corner,” Luo Fan grinned. “In our Donghuang dialect, we say that if you eat vegetarian food every day, your babies won’t have butts.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Joris's men slammed their fists on the table and shouted, "What did you say?!"
“Oh well, let him be arrogant for a bit,” Joris said dismissively, holding a small deck of cards in his hand. “That’s just how this family is, a bunch of women. They finally have a man, so they’re bound to use his name to act arrogantly.”
Then, she raised her eyes, gave Luo Fan a wry smile, and asked, "Right? By the way, what should I call you?"
......Oh.
Luo Fan did not answer. In a sense, he might agree with this statement, as if it were a joke.
The arrangement was complete, and Joris went first. Just as he raised his hand to play his card...
“Wait a minute,” Luo Fan raised his chin and sneered, “Pass the seven of bamboo.”
...The arrangement is complete, now it's time to dismantle the cards.
Joris had no choice but to hand over half of his deck to Grinna and exchange it for a new one.
The new cards were arranged, and he raised his hand, ready to play the new small cards, but was glared at by Luo Fan.
"Hey, don't you know the rules? Huh? You've already hit me!"
"..."
Oh well, it's an away game, I'll just have to bear with it. I came here for that pink-haired girl anyway, so ten minutes won't make a difference.
Grinna picked up the dice and threw them into the middle of the table.
"8 points"
As the card game began, Mondragon secretly approached Lovan from behind and poured him a glass of red wine.
It seemed as if he was the godfather here, and all the rules only had effect when they came from his mouth.
"Thank you."
After thanking him quietly, Luo Fan picked up his wine glass and slowly poured himself a sip.
Joris stopped, his voice low and serious: "17."
"puff"
A pool of dark red liquid sprayed out and splashed directly onto Yoris's forehead.
A chill made him very uncomfortable, and he subconsciously wiped it away. When he opened his eyes, the man in front of him was shaking the wine glass in his hand, full of mockery.
"Sorry, sorry, my hands were shaking. It's been cold lately, and I'm feeling a bit weak."
...Is this a sarcastic remark implying that he hasn't slept with as many women as her?
It's not appropriate to cause trouble at an away game...
He chose to remain silent, not responding immediately, and patiently waited for Luo Fan to make his move.
"Wow, you're really good at holding back, aren't you?"
I didn't expect him to be so rowdy just now, but now he's suddenly calmed down. Did he receive the news, or does he really want to openly and legitimately acquire MCX?
"You want to mess with my woman? Eat shit!"
After saying that, Luo Fan splashed all the red wine in his hand out.
A full glass, infused with the aroma of aged wine, doesn't look out of place on a suit, but the wine is filled with a man's hostility towards another man.
He was caught off guard and got splashed all over his face.
"You fucking trying to cause trouble, huh?!"
His men couldn't contain themselves and strode toward Lovan, but were blocked by Mondragon and the Measuring Officer.
Joris, having composed himself, slowly rose and walked toward the other side of the gambling table.
He realized then that this man had no intention of playing along honestly; he was simply looking for trouble...
485 Clearance
Given this situation, he wouldn't choose to sit idly by and wait for his fate...
The executioner, the alchemist, and Eleanor intended to stop him, but before they could, Lovan slowly pulled them behind him.
Seeing that the other party did not choose to have his men stop him, Joris naturally stepped forward and placed his hands in front of Lofan.
"Do you really think I wouldn't dare to do anything to you in your territory?"
But Luo Fan slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "Hit me! Try it! You dare to hit me? You touch me and I'll lie on the ground. When the Godfather comes, he'll check the security footage, and the next day you old ghost will chop your head off!"
Luo Fan's expression was even more arrogant than his, looking completely fearless. After all, this was their territory, and the girls were all there. If they made a move, they would be the ones to die.
"Go ahead and hit me?" Luo Fan continued to provoke him. The other party was still shocked and dared not do anything to him. He could only continue to stare at him in order not to be at a disadvantage in terms of aura.
Grina watched with extreme tension. Although she could earn a lot of money working here and had everyone protecting her, the situation was clearly not a simple gambling dispute!
"Why isn't it responding? Huh?!"
With a roar, Luo Fan slapped him across the face.
He deliberately didn't use too much force to avoid him falling to the ground. Luo Fan knew very well how strong he was now, and if he didn't control it well, this slap could easily knock him unconscious on the spot.
Now, it only made him stumble slightly, which was exactly the effect he wanted.
MCX jumped slightly, accompanied by cheers: "Well done! A beautiful face-down! Uh..."
