Chapter 49: Yan Kuan’s Wager
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Alright, after this match is over, how about we have a match upstairs?”
“We can have a match, but this wager, hehe…”
Devon’s smile was extremely sneaky, and he looked at Shen Xiaoxiao, who was beside Yan Kuan, with an extremely unrestrained gaze. One could tell at a glance what he was thinking.
Devon’s gaze was directed at Shen Xiaoxiao, and Yan Kuan directly said to Devon, “Alright, why don’t we have my K-ONE as the wager? How about it?”
Yan Kuan’s words stunned Devon and Bill at the same time, and they quickly looked away from the Little Oriental Loli. Did they hear wrong? Yan Kuan actually used K-ONE as a bet?
He couldn’t have not understood what they meant, right? His eyes didn’t show any restraint. wasn’t it obvious what he wanted? It was this Little Oriental Loli.
However, Yan Kuan clearly knew that he was going to use K-ONE as a bet, which was unexpected to them.
The two of them looked at each other. This was really a case of sleeping on a pillow. They hurriedly nodded and said, “Really?”
“Of course, really.”
Yan Kuan closed his eyes. After saying this, he no longer looked at them. Instead, he focused on the compet.i.tion at the side.
Shen Xiaoxiao was as surprised as Devon and Bill. K-ONE as a bet? He actually said to use K-ONE as a bet?
Could it be that he did not see that Devon clearly wanted her, but why did Yan Kuan do it?
And in her heart… Why did she know that Yan Kuan would definitely not simply use K-ONE as a bet? He did it to protect her. Her heart kept pounding, as if it was about to jump out of her chest. What was this man trying to do? Why was he doing this?
Shen Xiaoxiao forcefully suppressed the throbbing in her heart and looked deeply at Yan Kuan. She would never admit that she could actually see a trace of longing and tenderness in Yan Kuan’s eyes.
She hurriedly averted her eyes and said indifferently, “The compet.i.tion has begun. Let’s go and sit down!”
Yan Kuan was stunned. This reaction did not seem right. It should not be like this. Why was this little thing not surprised or happy? Could it be that what he did wasn’t obvious enough? It seemed like he didn’t pamper her enough, or maybe the way he pampered her wasn’t right?
On this end, Shen Xiaoxiao, who was slowly calming down, never knew that Qian Weitang actually had such a trick up his sleeve. His gambling skills were indeed impressive. In less than half an hour, only he and the person that Yan Kuan had arranged were left to play the final two-person game.
Shen Xiaoxiao was not good at poker, but she knew that Qian Weitang looked like he was about to steal a chicken. However, his actions and demeanor did not look like it. Instead, he looked extremely nervous.
Looking at the bespectacled man opposite him, he looked calm. The chips on the table of the two of them had long been in the hundreds of millions. Such a grand occasion was indeed rare.
In the end, the bespectacled man still won the champions.h.i.+p of the King of Gamblers Compet.i.tion with a straight flush. Qian Weitang, somewhat disappointed, retreated from the battle and walked to Devon’s side.
Yan Kuan glanced at Qian Weitang and said to Devon, “Let’s go. Aren’t we going to start a round? My bet has already been placed. Devon, you can use this Mr. Qian as your bet.”
As expected, he took the bait. Devon’s heart that had been hanging on all this time was instantly relieved. It seemed that Yan Kuan still wanted Qian Weitang.
Devon and Bill looked alike and immediately nodded. “Okay, it’s a deal.”
“Mr. Dai, you, you promised me…”
Qian Weitang did not expect to hear this news the moment he came over. This was not good news.
Devon had promised him that he would help him set up a bridge to escape to France with Bill. Now, he actually handed him over to this man without a word?
Who was this man? Why did he use himself as a bet again? Moreover, both Devon and Bill seemed to be a little afraid of this man.
What should he do now?
“Shut up. If you lose the match, do you still have the right to talk about chips?”
Devon had always been a person who would turn hostile and not acknowledge others. When Bill saw Devon like this, he mocked in his heart. He had long known this kind of person. Fortunately, he had already arranged everything and was waiting for these big fish to take the bait.
In a separate room, a round gambling table was placed in the middle. Devon, Bill, and Yan Kuan sat directly in three corners.
Shen Xiaoxiao sat next to Yan Kuan, looking at the chips on the table with an inexplicable expression.
The a.s.sets that she had brought out from the jungle with great difficulty were only three times the stakes on these people’s tables. If she really counted, it was really not much.
To think that she had been so smug before, thinking that she was ready to turn the tables again.
Each of them had two subordinates behind them. The people that Yan Kuan brought were not any of the four Hall Masters from before, nor were they Dark 1 and Dark 2. Instead, they were two men that Shen Xiaoxiao had never seen before.
They stood behind Yan Kuan with a cold face and a frosty expression. As for Bill and Devon, there were also people standing behind them. Of course, there was also their bet, Qian Weitang.
At this moment, Shen Xiaoxiao finally got a closer look at this Qian Weitang, whom she had never seen before.
Perhaps it was because of his life as a fugitive abroad, or perhaps it was because of the inhuman torture and mental stress he had suffered along the way. He looked much older than his actual age.
His hair was white. Because he was attending the gambling event tonight, he was dressed more formally. However, his face was exaggerated, and his eyes were listless. He looked like he had suffered a great blow. It seemed that he had originally thought that he had escaped the tiger’s den and entered the rat’s nest. It was really not that easy.
“Good boy, don’t worry. I will naturally do what I promised you. If It’s yours, it’s yours. If It’s not yours, I will s.n.a.t.c.h it and give it to you.”
Shen Xiaoxiao naturally knew what Yan Kuan meant. He was talking about the deal that they had discussed earlier, about Qian Weitang and that Black Ganoderma.
Shen Xiaoxiao remained silent. She became the best partner and maintained her ident.i.ty. She didn’t cause any trouble, wasn’t pretentious, and wasn’t annoying. On the contrary, she was very cooperative and obedient.
However, this kind of Shen Xiaoxiao made Yan Kuan dislike her from the bottom of his heart. He still preferred that little thing that was p.r.o.ne to anger.
Now, seeing her deep in thought, ever since he met the so-called ‘father killer’ Qian Weitang, the little thing had been in an overly calm state. This was not what he wanted to see.
“Why don’t we play dice in the first round? Vivian, How about you play?”
Yan Kuan called out to Shen Xiaoxiao, which not only shocked Shen Xiaoxiao, but also Devon and Bill.
This bet was not a joke. The bet was K-ONE, not child’s play. Was Yan Kuan really that confident? He actually let this Little Oriental Loli bet?
“Me?”
“Yes, you. It’s been quite boring all night. Go play. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose.”
“Yeah, Little Loli. Since President Yan wants you to play, you can play. President Yan has plenty of money anyway.”
Devon, on the other hand, was eager to let the Little Loli play. He was very clear about the people he had trained. This Little Loli had been sold to him since she was young and had never learned anything. She had never even touched gambling before.
He did not believe that she would become the G.o.d of gambling after not seeing her for two to three months. Since the gambling match had already started, the bet would not be easily changed. It would be better to let the Little Oriental Loli play. It would also be easier for them to win.
“Little thing, don’t forget that our bet is Qian Weitang. Go and have a good time. I believe in you.”
“Okay, then I won’t stand on ceremony.”
It was just playing dice. She was really not afraid.
Yan Kuan looked at this little girl who was fearless and even filled with fighting spirit as she sat in Yan Kuan’s original seat. Yan Kuan took a step back and sat beside her.
The dealer saw that the bosses were ready and directly announced the start.
