Chapter 789 - Gambling
Country L was a famous gambling city. It was a legal place to gamble, so every day, different gamblers from all over the world would come here to splurge on money.Some people became rich overnight, while others lost everything they had. However, gambling was like opium poppy, addictive, and impossible to stop. Even if there was some time left, as long as someone invited them, as long as they ignited a small flame, they would soon feel a strong urge to gamble.
Especially those who gave up on themselves and lacked any self-control were more vulnerable to temptation.The Gong Family was the richest in the world. In the dark, there were many pairs of eyes staring at the Imperial Consortium, thinking that as long as they could earn a sum from it, they would be able to spend a lifetime's worth of wealth.
However, as the patriarch of the Asgard, the owner of the wealth Gong Yexiao, he had an ironclad protection at his side. Moreover, this man had a strong self-control and rationality, so anyone who wanted to get ideas from him would end up in a miserable state if they were to be discovered by Gong Yexiao.Some of the people who had been taught a lesson no longer vowed to hold onto the tiger's fur, because they still wanted to live.
However, other than Gong Yexiao, the man with power and influence, the Gong Family had a group of close relatives that were attached to him.
Because without the strength, he didn't have the qualifications either.
On a cruise ship sailing into the high seas, there were different tables on each floor for nearly a thousand players to play with. The daily profit was over ten billion, which was definitely a paradise for the rich.
On one of these tables was a middle-aged man, his forehead covered in cold sweat, his mouth full of curses and examples. On one of these tables, a middle-aged man, his forehead covered with cold sweat, his mouth full of curses and examples of curses.
He viciously threw the card on the table. The chips in front of him was getting smaller and smaller. It was only enough to play one more game.
"Gong Xiansheng, do you still want to continue playing? Your chips are only enough for one more bet, do you need to stop right now? " A young man tried to dissuade him.
But this Gong Xiansheng immediately snorted coldly, and said with disdain, "What do you mean? Do you think I don't have the money to lose? Let me tell you, I, Gong Chengwei, can definitely afford to lose. "
"Of course Gong Xiansheng can afford to lose! Look at the strength of your cousin Gong Yexiao, he is definitely a super rich person! "
"Don't mention this person in front of me. His wealth has nothing to do with me." Gong Chengwei's tone was full of resentment and unwillingness."Gong Xiansheng, then you are completely wrong. If I have such a rich cousin brother, how could I not ask him for money? Even if he were to give me a bit of it, I wouldn't have to worry about it for the rest of my life. "
"Humph!" He is simply cold-blooded and emotionless, he would not give me any favours! "
"Then it must be because your relationship with him isn't good enough! Gong Xiansheng, do you have the ability to bring Gong Yexiao to our gambling table to play? " the young man asked tentatively.
He was one of the partners in this gambling house. His goal was to lure some of the larger capitalists over to play and he would play with Gong Chengwei because he wanted to use him to get close to Gong Yexiao and lure him to places like theirs to gamble. Even if he had half of his family property, he would already be as rich as a nation.
Gong Chengwei's expression changed slightly, "He won't come at all!"
"Why didn't you come? Every man is a natural born gambler, just that some people have not unearthed it yet. If you have the ability to make Gong Yexiao come here to play, I can give you a hundred million as reward. "
Gong Chengwei's eyes instantly grew two times larger, "What did you say? 100 million? "
When the young man saw his expression, the corner of his mouth curled up into a mocking smile. As a member of the palace, was he already so excited when he heard that it was a hundred million? Then he, as a member of the Gong Family, must have messed around badly."That's right!" If you bring Gong Yexiao here to play, as long as he can stay here for three days, I will immediately give you the money. "
Gong Chengwei's eyes lit up for a few seconds, and then dimmed again. How could he have the ability to invite Gong Yexiao here? If Gong Yexiao knew that he lost all his family assets, he probably wouldn't be able to see him again!When he thought about how, as a member of the Asgard Clan, Gong Yexiao had to get the wind and rain right now, and he could only live the life of an ordinary person, he felt absolute resentment. Now, Gong Yexiao basically did not care about him.
"We'll see!" Gong Chengwei didn't dare agree, but he covered up the last of the chips tightly. He was thinking if he should play the last one or not, and should just exchange it for some money and return.
However, he was unwilling. He had lost 50 million in just a few days, and he had to make a comeback. Otherwise, he would really be done for.And now, his last glimmer of hope was the chip in front of him, the last card.
"Gong Xiansheng, are you still coming?" Looking at his distress, the young man suddenly pushed all the chips in front of him into the middle. "I bet everything!"
At this time, a few other men also followed along and placed all their chips on the table, ready for the final battle.
And at that moment, Gong Chengwei just so happened to be able to give it another try, he clenched his teeth, and pushed all of his possessions over, "Good! I'll bet everything as well, and play the last card. "
While he was talking, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead once again due to the nervousness. He couldn't help but wipe his forehead with his hand as he stared at the cards the dealer had dealt him.
The young man on the other side seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and his lips curled into a disdainful smile, he lightly glanced at the dealer, who then handed the last card over to Gong Chengwei.
Gong Chengwei took a deep breath, held the card in his hand, and then, forcefully rubbed it open bit by bit, intending to test his final bit of luck.However, this wasn't luck at all, but a gamble to trick others. How could he possibly have good luck?
After looking at the last card, the young man in front of him threw out a good one. Gong Chengwei's complexion instantly turned pale white, he placed the card on the table, and his entire mind exploded, becoming blank.
He had just lost all his savings. He had nothing left now and was still heavily indebted. He still had an empty shell company at home waiting for him to fill it, but now, he had lost it all abroad.
"Gong Xiansheng, think about my words. There's a white one hundred million waiting for you!" The young man came over and patted him on the shoulder, reminding him.Gong Chengwei was sweating profusely as he looked at his empty hands.
