Devouring Evil Martial Arts, Eliminating Demons from All Heavens

Chapter 56 Hong Ying, Beauty Dice

In this city, there are dozens of casinos, large and small, but not all of them buy properties and rent venues on land.

Hong Ying's casino is located on a ship. One of the ships was converted from a passenger ship, and there are several luxury yachts to entertain VIPs.

Because he often stays on yachts, in formal occasions, he is of course a well-known entrepreneur with investments in the mainland, Hong Kong, Bangkok and other places. In informal occasions, people in the industry call him "Old Hong on the Island".

But he is not yet old enough to be called old.

Judging from his appearance, he was about forty years old, in the prime of his life, with thick hair, a square face, thick eyebrows like pine soot, and a thick but not messy beard.

When others meet his eyes, their first reaction may even be that he is full of righteousness.

He doesn't look like someone in the gambling boat business, but more like an impartial inspector.

When Chu Tianshu and Fang Jun boarded the yacht, Hong Ying was sitting in the shade, drinking tea and reading a book.

There were also a few books on the small round table next to it, including "The Rogue's Notes on Sleeping Madman Silang", "Youyang Miscellaneous Notes", and "Annotations to the Classic of Waterways in Vernacular Chinese".

It seems that this person has very mixed tastes.

"What have these guys done wrong? Could you please, Master Fang, bring them to my yacht?"

Hong Ying put down the book and looked over with a smile, but did not stand up.

Fang Jun took off his sunglasses and said, "They attacked our project consultant, Mr. Chu Tianshu. Their behavior is extremely bad."

"And according to their account, your brother Hong Yong was attacked and hospitalized by a suspect we were pursuing."

"In order to learn more details, I have no choice but to bother Boss Hong."

Hong Ying showed a surprised expression and asked the man in black beside him.

"Was Ayong hospitalized after being beaten?"

"I thought he broke his ribs while parading around with bones and fighting with dogs for food."

The man in black said, "It's like this. We saw Brother Yong being chased by a dog with our own eyes. If Young Master Fang needs witnesses, we are all witnesses here."

Chu Tianshu looked over suspiciously.

This person is openly being disrespectful and making things difficult. Is he provoking an old grudge, or is he trying to lure people into negotiating terms?
Fang Jun smiled and said, "Boss Hong, we've always kept to ourselves. Why are you playing these tricks?"

Hong Ying said sternly, "How can we keep our distance from each other? As the adopted son of the Nie family, there are many people in our gambling world who would like to learn a trick or two from you."

Chu Tianshu remembered that he had looked up some information about the Australian region online before coming here.

There are several internationally renowned gambling kings who have been active in Macau. The one who is currently the most famous and lives here is named Nie.

This man once challenged nine gambling kings at the same time in Las Vegas and won all of them.

Two years ago, I heard that this person was diagnosed with a brain tumor, which caused a lot of turmoil in the Australian business community.

But this person seemed to have survived. At least he didn't die at that time, but he seemed to have disappeared in the past two years.

"He's just an adopted son. He didn't inherit his father's talent."

Fang Jun said sincerely, "If I were really good at gambling, why would I join the Special Investigations Division? Wouldn't it be nice to just sit at home and count my money?"

Hong Ying smiled and said, "Perhaps it's because you, as an adopted son, learned the art of gambling so well that you had to join the Special Investigation Division."

Fang Jun sighed, "You already have this opinion. No matter what the facts are or what I say, you're going to take the gamble."

"Not bad!"

Hong Ying stood up and said solemnly, "Those gambling kings are already old. Everyone wants to complete their accumulation and challenge their status."

"Someone has taken the lead in organizing a gambling competition. It will begin soon. The winner will naturally accumulate assets and hopefully be able to take on the challenge."

"Before this gambling match, I want to face off against a strong opponent to get a feel for it."

Fang Jun remained silent.

"If you're worried about damaging the Nie family's reputation, we can compete behind closed doors."

Hong Ying continued, "As long as you show your true ability, regardless of whether you win or lose, I will give you all the information you want."

Fang Jun looked at Chu Tianshu: "If I discard these clues because I don't want to gamble, would that be considered as disregarding the case and neglecting my duties?"

He knew that the consultant was anxious to investigate because a treasured item had been stolen from his own home.

Why did he not ask anyone else but Chu Tianshu? What kind of answer did he want?

Did he also want to gamble, but just lacked a reason?
Letting him gamble is actually the best of both worlds, right?

Chu Tianshu said seriously: "I remember that although gambling is legal for ordinary people here, formally employed civil servants are still not allowed to gamble."

"Do you think I would advise you to break the law?"

Fang Jun slowly took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and laughed out loud.

"Boss Hong, you saw it too."

"Our advisor is standing right next to us. There's nothing we can do now."

Chu Tianshu looked at Hong Ying again and said, "But it seems that I, the consultant, have not yet been officially appointed."

Hong Ying said calmly, "Sir, do you think you are a strong enough opponent for me in gambling?"

"I don't know how to gamble at all, but we're not gambling for money anyway."

Chu Tianshu said, "If I can be your strong enemy, I can get clues. If I can't be your strong enemy, I won't lose anything. If you maintain this rule, of course I will try."

Second Grandpa, I'm not gambling, I'm not gambling, I'm not gambling!
Say the important thing three times.

Just trying a little to get a clue.

"Hehe, since you came here with Fang Jun, I will give you this opportunity."

Hong Ying sat back down and said, "Let's decide the outcome in one round."

Someone nearby brought over gambling equipment.

A strange look flashed across Fang Jun's face.

Because that dice is not an ordinary six-sided dice, but a regular triangular icosahedron dice.

Each side has different text.

"In gambling competitions, using regular dice is always prone to damage, and if you don't use those tricks, it's easy to end up in a tie."

Hong Ying smiled and said, "So besides the formal competitions, when we practice privately, everyone has their own unique style."

"My twenty-sided dice is also called the Beauty Dice. There are twenty words on it."

"Rivers and mountains, beauties, boundless romance, love, hate, and vengeance, all wiped out..." "Life and death are in the hands of God!"

Hong Ying said, "I'll shake the dice. It won't damage them. You guess the word. If you guess correctly, you win."

Chu Tianshu stretched out his hand and said, "Can you let me see the gambling equipment?"

Hong Ying asked his men to deliver it, and his pupils turned slightly blue, indicating that he had entered a state of enlightenment.

Although the other party has no reputation in the gambling world, he must have some skills in cultivation to be able to become an advisor to the Special Investigation Bureau.

Hong Ying wanted to keep an eye on him to see what he was going to do.

But Chu Tianshu took the dice cup, just took a look inside, and weighed the dice twice in his hand.

He didn't do anything.

The posture was like someone who had watched a gambling movie or two and knew that dice could be filled with mercury, so he had to think carefully before making any move.

He looks like a complete rookie.

Hong Ying frowned slightly, and when he saw his men bringing back the gambling equipment, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The telekinesis released, and the dice shot up from the tray, flying into the air with a whoosh.

Hong Ying grabbed the dice cup, scooped up the dice, and shook it violently.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The dice collided and rolled rapidly inside.

Chu Tianshu was five meters away, with his right hand behind his waist, just watching quietly, his eyes not blinking, his body motionless.

If it was a competition with Fang Jun, by this time, many methods of both sides should have begun to clash.

But Chu Tianshu did not use any disruptive means.

After shaking for more than twenty seconds, Hong Ying also felt a little bored.

Click! !

Hong Ying put the dice cup on the tray and said with a dull look, "You guess."

His expression and tone made people feel that he was not just guessing.

But it means "you start guessing."

Gambling is supposed to be about luck, but in the eyes of gambling masters, it is just the lowest and weakest thing.

What they compete with is eyesight, arithmetic, skills, scheming, and even perseverance.

The men in black around them also turned their heads to look here, even though they were wearing sunglasses to cover their vision.

Obviously, he was quite dissatisfied that such a rookie dared to compete with the boss.

Chu Tianshu didn't take it as an offense and said, "I think it's the word 'tian'."

Hong Ying's expression changed and he sat up straight.

Fang Jun was slightly startled, blew out a smoke ring, and smiled happily.

"you……"

Hong Ying stared at Chu Tianshu with a clear gaze and casually opened the dice cup.

The people in black could see clearly that the word "天" was indeed facing upwards.

Chu Tianshu is not good at gambling.

But after he had tried the weight of the gambling tools and the softness and hardness of their materials, he could tell the direction of the force and the effect of the force on the dice just by staring at the movements of the other person's hands.

Even though all twenty characters were written flatly without any indentations, he could still simulate in his mind the entire process of flipping the dice, which way it turned, how many times it turned, and get the result.

This is similar to the skill of listening to the force in Tai Chi.

Besides, Chu Tianshu also practiced magic, so he would be able to feel it even if the other party used telekinesis to interfere in the middle.

"It seems I won."

Chu Tianshu walked forward, grabbed the dice cup, and rolled the dice.

call!
Chu Tianshu's body suddenly retreated three steps, floating as if riding the wind, extremely smoothly.

During these three steps, the dice are inside the dice cup and make no sound at all.

Because Chu Tianshu calculated the speed of the dice accurately, when he took three steps back, he ensured that the dice did not come into contact with the inner wall of the dice cup.

After the dice was touched by the initial immortal force, they began to spin rapidly in mid-air.

It is impossible to tell how many times it has rotated in the air by listening.

It was not until three steps later that Chu Tianshu pushed the dice forward again, returned it to the tray, and put it on.

Hong Ying stared at the dice cup with a mysterious expression.

"I'll just shake it randomly. It doesn't count towards the bet anyway."

Chu Tianshu showed a joking look and let go of the dice cup.

As soon as his hand left, Hong Ying's telekinesis successfully penetrated into it and saw the word facing upwards.

"wind"!
It was not the word that Hong Ying had originally guessed.

"You can roll the dice like this without relying on telekinesis."

Hong Ying clapped his hands and said, "Good, good, I really did learn a trick."

There was a fighting spirit in his eyes, as well as a sense of striving that came from having learned lessons.

This is exactly what a warm-up is all about.

At his age, there are some problems that he cannot feel, which his younger self did not have.

You must warm up with a strong opponent to wake up and be in better condition to fight.

"Then let me tell you, the old man who injured Ayong was almost killed by Ayong's brothers, but someone suddenly broke in and took him away."

Chu Tianshu immediately asked, "Who is the intruder?"

Hong Ying's face turned strange.

"It's the Western Poison, Ouyang..."
