I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping Chapter 2115 - 1359: Hall King? Gambling King! (2)

Even after taking control of Haojiang, Boss Jiang doesn't oversee it much, yet he's far from oblivious, particularly given his past experiences there.

"Not using their own funds to gamble?"

Bai Haoran inquired.

Jiang Chen gave a casual shrug without replying, then went on, "Haojiang's gambling sector has outpaced Las Vegas in earnings for quite a while now, with 70% of those profits stemming from the VIP rooms in the different casinos. That's why these VIP lounges form the core of Haojiang's income. Right now, over thirty such lounges exist, and Zhong Xiaoye controls 12. He might not hold the title of Gambling King, but he's absolutely the Lounge King."

Who could have imagined that the suicide of a mere college kid would connect to someone so powerful and commanding.

"If only he used that sharp mind elsewhere, he'd thrive too."

Though Fang Qing skimmed the pages swiftly, she grasped the details fully.

"Exactly."

Jiang Chen chuckled, "In certain aspects, this guy's approach is truly something to study. Despite operating casinos, he tracks patrons through a detailed database. He knows their favorite fruits, preferred beverages, and even odd quirks inside out. Birthdays get timely gifts without fail. Luxury rides handle pickups and drop-offs, complete with a private VIP-only route, plus a dedicated finance team. If you go broke, they quickly evaluate your holdings, arrange sales, and link you up. The goal? Make you feel right at home."

"Provided the customer still has cash left."

Jiang Chen agreed with a nod, "Sure, but once the funds dry up, things shift; if you're wiped out and can't settle debts, even your closest kin turns cold."

"Report him?"

Bai Haoran suggested.

Jiang Chen paused in surprise, then grinned while eyeing the files she held, "Based on this alone? As a lawyer, do you really believe this scrap of proof suffices?"

It was merely a light tease, and Fang Qing set the documents aside, "You're right, it's not nearly enough. The visible money trails exceed 130 billion, backed by more than ten thousand underlings. His reach isn't limited to Haojiang—VIP outposts dot Southeast Asia, forming a worldwide network. Nabbing someone like that through standard methods proves extremely tough."

Jiang Chen let out a soft laugh.

"Qing Gege, watch your position and viewpoint. How could you speak like that? Before the law, all stand equal."

Fang Qing ignored it entirely, "Plenty must resent him these days."

A peculiar spark lit Jiang Chen's gaze.

"What makes you think so? His VIP lounges generate massive gains for Haojiang's casinos."

"Surface level only. Deep down, he's overstepping bounds by leveraging client info to bind Haojiang's casinos, compelling their alliance."

Jiang Chen's look sharpened further.

Certain details never appeared in those records.

"On top of that, given his drive, settling for mere Lounge King status seems unlikely. Someone who's climbed this high thrives on raw ambition. He surely craves the Gambling King crown."

"Put yourself in his shoes—what would you do?"

Jiang Chen probed carefully.

Fang Qing spoke freely, "Control both sides. No matter how much the VIP lounges grow, he's still a hanger-on. If Haojiang's leaders sacrifice a bit of profit, ousting him becomes simple. In his place, I'd partner with casinos while drawing street-level players to my digital site. Special vehicles for transport, and if local games disappoint, ship them overseas; back home, they game online. Eventually, all of Haojiang survives on his whims."

Jiang Chen found himself deeply admiring her insight.

"Lucky for the world you chose law."

Fang Qing's analysis rang true; Moon City, boasting a 10 billion USD build, stands as the planet's biggest online-offline fusion gambling hub. Quick and seamless, accessible via phones or PCs, dropping into a few rounds is effortless like scrolling clips—yet infinitely more thrilling, igniting passion in moments. Servers hide abroad for total security, privacy, and customization. Dialect choices include Cantonese, Minnan, and more. With such investment, Zhong Xiaoye's grand designs shine through; how could he content himself as a mere subordinate in Haojiang's elite?

"Ambition fuels men, but his swells too far. Invading the mainland with Moon City marked his gravest error."

Jiang Chen smiled: "On paper, it seems straightforward, but Qing Gege, curbing desire proves no simple task. Once those gains tempt you, retreat feels impossible—it's just human."

Launching a betting site into the mainland? Even an idiot spots the peril.

Yet the old truth holds.

Risks and rewards usually align.

A mainland market exceeding a billion souls—how immense! Success there dwarfs the world's wealthiest; mere pocket change.

"Your next move?"

Jiang Chen shrugged, "As you noted, facing such a titan demands careful planning."

At the same time,

in Haojiang,

a charity auction unfolded.

The venue sat within the He family's hotel.

Haojiang's modest size meant nearly every major player dispatched reps, including Zhong Xiaoye, who'd overtaken his brother and now surged ahead as the Lounge King.

Clad in a suit, he occupied a prime seat up front, radiating energy.

Ahead loomed Haojiang's entrenched powers, such as the He family.

The He family's fourth daughter stood in for them, as Haojiang's emblem, they led by example. Fourth Lady He vied for the jade token, boosting the 2 million opener to 8 million.

Charity auctions avoid wealth displays—merely signals of support—and on home ground, no one risks ties over goodwill. Though the Gambling King had departed, the He family endured as Haojiang's invincible pillar, beyond doubt, so her bid met no challenge from other elites.

"8 million, first call."

"8 million, second call."

"18 million!"

An unexpected shout rang out.

Just as all assumed the jade token destined for Fourth Lady He, an interloper broke in.

Seated next to Fourth Lady He, Bai Haoran twisted to look, spotting a smug, shadowy visage.

Zhong Xiaoye.

Murmurs rippled through.

Bidding was fine, but leaping the price by 10 million outright? It utterly disrespected Fourth Lady He.

The He family's rising star, Fourth Lady He Yihui, stayed composed despite her sudden prominence, her striking hybrid features betraying no anger or upset.

She simply lifted her paddle again.

"20 million."

The auctioneer wiped faint sweat.

"50 million!"

Zhong Xiaoye countered boldly, not yielding an inch but charging head-on!

Overbearing.

Utterly overbearing.

Yet he backed it with real strength.

Haojiang didn't bow solely to the He family; rival casinos craved his patrons equally, and Moon City fueled his boldness against old-guard powers.

Bai Haoran lifted his paddle.

"60 million."

"100 million!"

The brightly lit hall buzzed with intensified chatter.

"Drop it, let him take it."

He Yihui murmured gently.

Bai Haoran stayed quiet.

His 100 million clinched the jade token, but Zhong Xiaoye followed with a jaw-dropping twist.

"I'm bidding this jade token for Fourth Lady—now I gift it to her. The billion-dollar donation follows in her name too."

The whole venue erupted in shock!

Flattery?

No!

Pure mockery!

What was the intent?

Belittling the He family for lacking funds?

Bai Haoran's stoic face darkened abruptly with menace.

Zhong Xiaoye tuned out the chaos, lounging with crossed legs, spinning his ivory ring, projecting a regal, dominant air.

A single billion?

He'd lavish that on his starlet lover per son born.

The auctioneer stood puzzled.

Only He Yihui held her grace, serene and regal, never faltering publicly, graciously receiving Zhong Xiaoye's gesture.
