After saying that, Gao Jin gestured for Ueyama Hiroji to enter the private VIP room.

The warm-up was over, and most gamblers, seeing Gao Jin win, were already impatient and rushed to the casino to place bets, making the atmosphere in the casino very lively.

Charon alone is more than capable of entertaining the guests.

Upon entering the VIP room, the staff poured two cups of tea and placed them in front of the two.

Gao Jin also intended to get to know Ueyama Hiroji:

"This is our famous Da Hong Pao tea from mainland China. I wonder if you, as a Japanese, would find it palatable?"

Ueyama Hiroji smelled the aroma of the tea, then took a sip and smiled:

"This tea is indeed excellent. Here, let me toast Mr. Gao. However, the name 'God of Gamblers' is world-renowned. In fact, I already knew that I was destined to lose this bet with you today."

"But I never expected that the God of Gamblers' gambling skills would be so superb that I was completely convinced of my defeat."

Gao Jin returned the gesture, downed his drink in one gulp, put down his teacup, and shook his head.

“Mr. Shangshan, what you said is a bit ridiculous. You knew you were going to lose, but you still bet with me. So every gambler has his own excuse when he loses.”

After saying that, Gao Jin poured himself another cup of tea. He had heard this kind of excuse far too many times.

Hiroji Ueyama did not deny it, but simply took out a check for one million US dollars from his pocket and handed it over:

“Mr. Gao, actually, the reason I traveled all the way to Haojiang this time is to ask you for help. I am willing to offer 100 million US dollars to ask you to do me a favor.”

Gao Jin wasn't tempted by the $100 million; he simply said:

"Just tell me what you need."

As soon as he finished speaking, a serious expression appeared on Ueyama Hiroji's face:

Do you know Chen Jincheng, the gambling tycoon of Singapore?

Upon hearing this, Gao Jin suddenly laughed, a sarcastic expression on his face:

"If I remember correctly, when did even a conman become a gambling king? Chen Jincheng is wanted by most countries and is just a turtle hiding in international waters."

Gao Jin's words were laced with sarcasm: "Does someone who cheats deserve the title of gambling king?"

Hiroji Ueyama sighed:

"It seems that you, Mr. Gao, are also aware of his misdeeds. Three years ago, my father represented our Yamaguchi-gumi and the Crescent Moon-gumi in a struggle for casino profits in Osaka, within the Sakura Country."

"The Crescent Moon Group invited Chen Jincheng, and my father represented the Yamaguchi-gumi to the bet, where the outcome would be decided by the wager."

"But Chen Jincheng cheated and won against my father, causing the Yamaguchi-gumi to lose profits and my father to be stigmatized. As a result, my father could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide out of shame and indignation."

"Actually, I've been practicing my gambling skills diligently lately, and I've already arranged a life-or-death gamble with Chen Jincheng in the waters near Hong Kong Island in about two weeks.

"But I know I'm no match for this cheater in gambling. I want to avenge my father with force. Win or lose, New Moon will not let him die, but I must get my revenge."

Gao Jin shook his head. In the past, he would have considered helping Ueyama Hiroji with this favor.

But now that the Galaxy Casino is open, he can't risk his life, especially since there are no laws in international waters, so even if he kills someone, it's not illegal.

He couldn't readily agree, so he simply said:

“Mr. Shangshan, I am now working for Mr. Ni, so my status is not exactly free.”

“If I were all alone, I might help you, but you can handle this yourself.”

Hiroji Ueyama was filled with helplessness:

“I think so too, but last month our helper said that the Crescent Moon Group and the Yamaguchi-gumi have joined forces and ordered me not to use force to take revenge.”

"But it's impossible to wash away the shame through gambling skills!"

After saying this, Hiroji Ueyama clenched his hands, filled with grief and indignation.

His words were then filled with sorrow:

“If my father had really lost to Chen Jincheng in gambling, I would never have thought of revenge. But it was because he cheated that my father was so ashamed that he committed suicide. That’s why I want to take revenge.”

Gao Jin also understood what Ueyama Hiroji meant:

"Do you think I can definitely beat Chen Jincheng?"

“Indeed, Chen Jincheng is cunning and a skilled gambler. I am not confident in dealing with him, but I am not so sure about Mr. Gao.”

Gao Jin refused outright:

“If I gamble with him on the high seas, he will definitely cheat, and if he finds out I’m going to deal with him, he won’t let me off the hook.”

Even if Gao Jin were a fool, he wouldn't risk his life, especially since he's currently working for the Ni family and wouldn't act rashly.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ueyama Hiroji suddenly took out the kaishakunin dagger he always carried with him, preparing to commit seppuku.

Gao Jin's expression changed, and with lightning speed, he stopped him.

"Why are you doing this?"

Hiroji Ueyama gritted his teeth, his face flushed red.

“If Mr. Gao doesn’t agree, I won’t be able to get revenge. I’ll risk my life.”

"Besides, if I lose in half a month, I will also be doomed."

Gao Jin snorted coldly:

"Whether you live or die is none of my business, but Galaxy Casino has just opened, and I don't want anyone to die. If you die here, it will only affect our business."

“I must report this to Mr. Ni. If he allows me to gamble, I will participate in the game in my private capacity. Even if you are going to die, you have to see me and Chen Jincheng finish this last game.”

Hiroji Ueyama's eyes widened in surprise:

"So you agree?"

Gao Jin sighed. He still admired Shangshan Hongji's filial piety, and besides, Chen Jincheng had ruined so many families. Cheating was an insult to the title of the gambling king.

However, he will also report this matter to Mr. Ni.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Ueyama Hiroji immediately knelt before Gao Jin and performed the dogeza (a deep, prostration gesture).

“Mr. Gao, I will never forget this kindness.”

Gao Jin smiled and took the dagger from his hand:

"I don't need the $100 million. I just want to be friends with you. Once it's done, just give me a box of the best chocolates."

"it is good."

Hiroji Ueyama was extremely excited:

"By the way, Mr. Gao, to ensure your safety, I also brought a bodyguard with me. I wonder if I could introduce him to you?"

"of course."

Soon after, Hiroji Ueyama brought Ryugo over.

"Mr. Long."

Wearing a suit and with a cold expression, Long Wu strode over, his aura alone making him difficult for ordinary people to approach.

Hiroji Ueyama laughed:

"Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Long."

"Mr. Long, this is the world-renowned God of Gamblers. Mr. Long is a good friend of mine. He doesn't understand gambling, but he can help you solve many problems besides gambling."

"Nice to meet you."

Long Wu looked at the God of Gamblers, speaking only sparingly.

Gao Jin smiled and shook hands with him, then noticed the red scorpion tattoo on his wrist.

Are you from Laos?

"No, overseas Chinese."

"Judging by your skills, were you a soldier?"

Long Wu nodded: "I served in the special forces for a period of time."

Hiroji Ueyama was quite confident in Ryugo:

"Mr. Long will protect your safety."

Gao Jin simply smiled;

"However, I think there is generally no need for that. No one in Hong Kong Island would dare to lay a hand on us. But it would be quite interesting to keep Mr. Lung company."

“I need to consult Mr. Ni about this gambling matter. Mr. Long, please come with me to see Mr. Ni.”

Long Wu nodded: "Yes, Mr. Gao."

Ueyama Hiroji was aware of the Ni family's power, and the fact that he was able to recruit Gao Jin into his ranks was enough to prove the Ni family's strength.

Soon Gao entered the upper floors of the Lisboa Hotel and gently knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Ni Yongyao's voice came from inside.

Gao Jin strode up to Ni Yongyao, bowed, and said:

"Mr. Ni, hello. This is Long Wu, who is responsible for my safety."
