The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 1411 - 854: Legendary Deliveryman’s Bloody Underpants
Previously on The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?...
Shi Yidao departed, and the masked woman re-entered the room.
"Your gambling fortune is truly remarkable."
She commented.
As the manager of the Peace Gambling House, her own gambling prowess placed her within the top three of the entire Gambling Society. Therefore, she could readily discern that Liu Zheng had not resorted to any deceit.
"It's merely fortunate equipment assisting me,"
Liu Zheng stated, not eager to claim all the credit.
"If one's inherent luck isn't strong, having abundant lucky equipment proves futile,"
the masked woman remarked, shaking her head.
"Then I shall graciously accept your compliment. However, luck in gambling is not a constant; I do not intend to gamble any further today."
Perceiving the masked woman might be displeased by his winning streak, he clarified.
"You misunderstand. It's merely five million; the Gambling Society can easily cover such a sum. My primary reason for being here is to inquire about your discussion with Shi Yidao."
The masked woman explained.
"What? Is your gambling establishment now concerned with the private dealings of its patrons?"
Liu Zheng countered.
"We do not meddle in the personal affairs of just anyone, but Shi Yidao is an exception. As his creditor, we possess a legitimate interest."
The masked woman responded.
"Whatever he owed, I settled it for him."
He declared magnanimously.
"Very well, Mr. Liu. To be forthright, we wish to ascertain the identity of Shi Yidao's murderer."
Seeing he was not taking the bait, the masked woman decided to reveal her true objective.
"As long as it wasn't you, does it truly matter? Are you planning to report him?"
Liu Zheng inquired pointedly.
"Certainly not. On the contrary, our respect for Shi Yidao's character has always been unwavering, which is why we continued to extend credit to him. Should we identify the actual perpetrator, we are prepared to assist Shi Yidao in seeking retribution."
The masked woman stated.
"So, you intend to exploit the situation for your own revenge, taking advantage of the chaos, aren't you?"
He saw through the masked woman's ulterior motives.
"If you wish to interpret it that way, I cannot offer a rebuttal."
The masked woman conceded.
"I've only encountered hearsay, no concrete proof. Furthermore, such sensitive matters should be addressed directly with the involved party. I am merely a messenger."
Liu Zheng replied.
"You are far too modest, Mr. Liu. We are convinced that you are the one orchestrating everything."
The masked woman said, her tone laced with deference.
"Oh? You have investigated my background?"
He raised an eyebrow.
His demeanor had shifted entirely from before.
"Indeed. For a patron who managed to win five million, understanding them better is only prudent. However, our time has been limited, and our knowledge of you remains incomplete."
The masked woman answered.
Even the scant details they had gathered were enough to unsettle her; when had such a formidable individual emerged on the streets of this metropolis?
"I would advise against digging too deeply, lest you inadvertently attract trouble. The food has yet to arrive—please cancel the order and convert the remaining chips into cash. I will be taking my leave."
Liu Zheng announced.
"Mr. Liu, are you truly unwilling to reconsider? We are prepared to offer a substantial sum."
The masked woman attempted to persuade him further.
"No. It is against my principles to involve my transaction partners in subsequent deals. Are you processing the exchange or not? If not, I shall keep them as mementos; I find your chip designs quite captivating."
Liu Zheng stated, idly fiddling with a black chip.
"Exchange them."
The masked woman gestured, and a young lady with twin ponytails promptly wheeled a suitcase before Liu Zheng.
"Here is two hundred sixty thousand. Please verify the amount,"
The attendant with twin ponytails opened the suitcase and spoke formally.
"There is no need. I trust your count."
Liu Zheng swiftly stored the cash within his System Space and gave the girl with twin ponytails a knowing wink.
"Pfft~"
She could not suppress a giggle, meeting his gaze with a playful glare.
"You people are quite respectable, far superior to that demon's casino in the black market. I won merely tens of thousands there, and he immediately became petty. Utterly classless."
Liu Zheng grumbled.
"Indeed, the esteemed Lord Gambling Snake has extended numerous invitations for a match against that demon, all of which he has declined."
The masked woman concurred.
"Is that so? Well, should he ever agree, do inform me. I would be eager to witness such an event."
He instructed.
If the demon were to lose, he could perhaps deliver a few blows to the vanquished foe.
"Certainly, Mr. Liu. Shall we exchange contact details?"
The masked woman seized the opportunity to propose.
"Very well. Oh, and what is your name, by the way?"
"You may address me as Rixiang."
After exchanging contact information, they parted on amicable terms.
Once Liu Zheng had exited the gambling establishment, the masked woman promptly produced a silver Compass.
The Compass bore intricate engravings of numerous mystical symbols and peculiar creatures. Instead of a conventional pointer at its center, a minuscule snake, seemingly crafted from blood, continuously shifted its position.
"Has the delivery man departed?"
The little snake's body, stained with blood, trembled slightly, emitting a distinct sound. "Yes, my Lord, Gambling Snake," the masked woman responded with utmost respect. "I truly wish I could engage in a gamble with him; it’s a pity I cannot return at this moment," Gambling Snake declared with a sigh. "How fares the situation over in the Spirit Realm?" the masked woman inquired, her voice tinged with concern. "It's acceptable, though no one here seems inclined to gamble with me, which makes things rather dull," Gambling Snake lamented. "Please, refrain from further gambling; you were exiled to the Spirit Realm this time, but who knows where your next exile might be?" the masked woman advised earnestly. Gambling Snake was undeniably adept, yet also possessing a strong sense of pride. As long as her opponent did not resort to cheating, she herself would not engage in such deceit. Ultimately, gambling is a game heavily influenced by luck. When neither party employs foul play, it is inevitable that Gambling Snake would face periods of loss. "Being exiled to the Abyss would be the ideal outcome; then, I could acquire numerous succubi to serve as croupiers," Gambling Snake stated with unwavering confidence.
