Everyone focused their gaze.
Suddenly, when Mu Jinyu lifted the cover of the dice cup, what was revealed were no intact dice at all.
They were all broken pieces, fragments of the dice with numbered faces!
And yet, they were all laid out completely intact.
Because the bottom cover of the dice cup was too small, it was impossible to lay out all the fragments of the numbered dice flat, but Mu Jinyu still managed to prioritize the fragments with six and five points, revealing them without being covered by smaller numbered fragments.
As a result, at a glance, people saw a mix of red and white, and without looking carefully, it was impossible to discern they were actually pieces of dice.
"Hiss!"
After everyone saw clearly, they collectively couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
They felt that Mu Jinyu's technique was even more transcendent than that of Li Heshan, the Gambling King; it was truly befitting to call him the contemporary Gambling God.
Subsequently, their gaze toward Li Heshan, whose face was turning ugly, became one of sympathy and sadness.
The points that Li Heshan rolled were six sixes, thirty-six, plus one point, totaling thirty-seven points.
If it were under normal circumstances, he would have definitely won.
But faced with the freak that was Mu Jinyu, who could roll dice with his bare hands but make the dice split as if cut by a knife, extracting all six faces of a dice with their numbers intact.
How could he still be a match?!
Li Heshan saw the strange looks in people's eyes when they looked at him, and his pale face turned even whiter in an instant.
The bad premonition in his heart had proven to be correct. But at this moment, he wished it were wrong.
It was all over.
He had lost.
1.1 billion... growing wings, about to fly away...
How should he explain this to Brother Biao?
No, that's not right...
The originally ashen-faced Li Heshan had a flash of inspiration at this thought and suddenly his eyes lit up as he realized...
Wasn't it Brother Biao who asked him to delay Mu Jinyu as much as possible?
Even though he had lost to Mu Jinyu, this guy might not live to take away the 1.1 billion!
Then he could still make his accounting!
Li Heshan suddenly felt fortunate in his heart.
Mu Jinyu did not know the turn of thoughts in Li Heshan's mind, looking at his pale face and his expression changing unpredictably, thinking that he was considering going back on his word, he said:
"What's the matter? Uncle, won't you go count and see if my points are indeed greater than yours? Or are you saying that you can't afford to lose, intending to welsh on the bet?!"
Mu Jinyu stared at Li Heshan, his tone was calm but carried a hint of coldness.
On hearing this, Li Heshan's body shook, and he quickly came back to his senses. Although his face was still very ugly, he managed to squeeze out a faint smile.
While looking at Mu Jinyu, though he couldn't help but feel a certain schadenfreude for what was to come for him, he still put on a bitter expression and sighed:
"There's no need to count. Your six-point and five-point dice fragments are all neatly laid out; without counting, it's much more than my six sixes and one point..."
Yes, a single dice has a total of twenty-one points, six dice have one hundred and twenty-six points, Mu Jinyu managed to shake all six faces of the dice, revealing the numbered sides. Even without counting the points from the shattered pieces that were pressed underneath, it was more than enough to crush his opponent.
This is an indisputable fact that no one can deny with their eyes open.
"Time to pay up," Mu Jinyu said with a smile, extending his hand.
"Come with me," Li Heshan sighed, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
Mu Jinyu collected all the chips receipts from the gambling table and then followed Li Heshan, leaving the gambling hall under the envious gaze of the many gamblers.
Everyone watched Mu Jinyu's retreating back, one person said enviously, "I envy him so much. In just half an hour, he actually won 1.1 billion. If I had his ability, that would really be amazing."
Hearing this sigh, a group of people echoed in agreement and sighed, but then someone threw cold water on their thoughts, "What's there to envy? That guy doesn't know when to quit while he's ahead. He scooped up nearly a month's profits from the casino. Do you really think the casino will let him take the money and leave?"
"This..."
Hearing what the wet blanket had said, those who were originally filled with envy and jealousy suddenly stiffened.
Indeed.
Previously, Li Heshan had offered Mu Jinyu a deal, to gamble against him and, even if he lost, he could still take 1 billion and leave. It was probably a hint for Mu Jinyu to quit while he was ahead...
But Mu Jinyu, young and full of vigor, didn't take the hint and won 1.1 billion from the casino in one fell swoop. Could the casino really let him leave?
Although this underground casino usually opts to pay off highly skilled gamblers to avoid trouble, it has been said that these few days were when the casino had to settle accounts with their superiors.
With a shortfall of over ten billion all of a sudden, would Li Heshan choose to pay off the trouble caused by Mu Jinyu, or...
...directly deal with the source of the trouble?!
Thinking about this, the faces of those who had envied and resented Mu Jinyu began to show a hint of schadenfreude.
...
Mu Jinyu followed Li Heshan to his office.
After Mu Jinyu entered the office, Li Heshan closed the door and then looked at Mu Jinyu, who was sizing up the office's decor, and sighed, "Actually, you should have quit while you were ahead."
"Huh?!" Mu Jinyu immediately understood that he was preparing to default on the payment.
No wonder he had asked him to come to the office; that way, if he took care of him and reneged on the bet, even if the gamblers outside speculated something, there would be no evidence to prove that their casino really defaulted.
Unfortunately for him, the person he aimed to deceive was Mu Jinyu himself, and that meant the debt could not be simply shrugged off!
Mu Jinyu shook his head slightly and scoffed, "Quit while I'm ahead? Have you ever done that? When you were shamelessly bullying a lonely girl, why didn't you know when to stop?"
Mu Jinyu didn't plan to lay a hand on Li Heshan immediately. He wasn't here to gamble for money, but to thoroughly put an end to the persistent harassment Wen Rou faced from those thugs.
So, he was prepared to be polite first and forceful later, otherwise, he would have simply smashed up the gambling hall from the start.
Why wait until now to take action?
"Huh? What do you mean?!"
Li Heshan, recognizing Mu Jinyu's exceptional gambling talent, had hoped to convince him not to dwell on the money and to leave quickly to save his life.
But hearing Mu Jinyu's words, he suddenly felt that Mu Jinyu's reason for starting trouble might not be for the money but to stand up for someone and demand justice?!
Mu Jinyu looked directly at Li Heshan, and seeing the confusion in his eyes, which didn't seem feigned, he realized that the high-interest rates and protection fees the thugs demanded from Wen Rou weren't orchestrated by Li Heshan, but rather the thugs' own initiative.
"Heh..." Mu Jinyu sneered coldly and then informed Li Heshan of the thugs' treatment of Wen Rou.
