A passing traveler through the heavens

As night fell, countless stars twinkled in the sky, and a cruise ship sailed on the boundless sea.

Dressed in a gorgeous evening gown, Ya Zi gracefully linked arms with Ji Lin's strong and powerful arm, and the two stepped into the magnificent and bustling casino inside the cruise ship.

The casino was brightly lit and bustling with noise, a cacophony of shouts, laughter, and the clinking of chips.

They slowly walked to a gambling table and stopped. Ya Zi turned her head slightly and asked Ji Lin beside her in her soft and melodious voice, "Don't you want to try your luck and have a go?"

Ji Lin smiled slightly, shook his head, and replied, "I never participate in gambling activities. I am sworn enemies of gambling and drugs!"

After saying that, Ji Lin's deep and affectionate eyes stared intently at Ya Zi.

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Ya Zi couldn't help but chuckle. She then casually teased Ji Lin, "What about Huang?" Ji Lin understood the meaning behind Ya Zi's words and burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, Yako's companion was drawn to a handsome man at the gambling table and couldn't help but lean over excitedly to ask Yako, "That man playing cards is quite handsome! He must be rich."

Yako glanced at her infatuated female companion, smiled helplessly, and replied, "You wish. His name is Playboy Gao Da. He's famous in casinos all over Asia."

"This guy not only cheats people out of their money, but he also cheats women out of their hearts... Wherever he goes, trouble follows." As Yako recounted the story, Ji Lin began to take a closer look at the playboy Gao Da in front of him.

He secretly wondered, "I wonder if there's any connection between this playboy Gao Da and that gambling god Gao Jin?"

Just as the three were chatting, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

A gambler, his face grim, pointed at Gao Da and suddenly shouted, "It's either eight or nine o'clock! There's definitely something fishy going on here! You're definitely up to something!" His words were like a thunderclap, instantly shattering the previously relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Faced with this sudden accusation, Gao Da's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and he coldly replied, "A bet is a bet, don't give me that nonsense!"

However, the gambler clearly had no intention of letting the matter rest. He gave his men a look, signaling them to come forward and search Gao Da.

Seeing this, Gao Da remained calm and instead breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ji Lin, standing to the side, appeared quite calm. He gently pulled Ya Zi and the others a few steps to the side, quietly watching the good show that was about to unfold.

In the blink of an eye, just as one of his men put his hand on Gao Da's shoulder, a glint flashed in Gao Da's eyes, and he suddenly threw a punch, which landed squarely on the man's chest.

With a muffled thud, the henchman, caught off guard, was forced to stagger backward before finally crashing heavily onto the gambling table.

Immediately following up, Gao Da seized the opportunity, using the momentum of his opponent's fall to leap up lightly and deliver a powerful kick to another opponent who was rushing towards him.

The kick was powerful and heavy, sending the man flying several meters away before he crashed into the wall and slowly slid down.

Seeing his two men so easily dealt with, the gambler was furious. His face turned red, and veins bulged on his forehead.

Enraged, he pulled out a sharp knife from his pocket and lunged at Gao Da.

Ji Lin, who had been observing the situation from the sidelines, naturally wouldn't stand idly by. In a flash, he rushed to the gambler and firmly grabbed the wrist holding the knife.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Lin executed a beautiful back throw, cleanly and decisively slamming the gambler to the ground with a dull thud.

Just then, casino security personnel rushed over and quickly surrounded Ji Lin and Gao Da. The head security guard said with a serious expression, "Hey, gentlemen, this is not a place for you to cause trouble."

Seeing this, Gao Da reached into his pocket with his right hand and pulled out a chip. He calmly said to the security guard, "This was self-defense. Consider this chip as a treat for you to have a meal."

As he spoke, he casually tossed the cigarette butt he had finished smoking onto the ground, then walked over to Ji Lin and the others, thanked them, and swaggered away.

However, before leaving, this guy didn't forget to show off a bit, gently blowing on his bangs towards Yako and the others not far away.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Lin and the other two continued to wander aimlessly around the casino.

Not long after, a clear and pleasant broadcast rang out throughout the casino, and the host's enthusiastic voice could be heard: "Dear guests, we are honored to have the captain give a speech next!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Lin and the other two immediately walked to a relatively quiet corner, each of them picked up a cocktail, their eyes fixed on the huge screen in the center of the casino.

At this moment, the lights in the entire venue gradually dimmed, and the spotlight shone on the captain in the center of the stage. The captain, dressed in a suit and tie, smiled and gave a slight bow to the audience.

Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, accompanied by a piercing gunshot—"Bang!" A bullet, like lightning, pierced straight into the captain's heart.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, the captain's body trembled violently, and then, like a puppet that had lost its support, he fell heavily to the ground with a "thud".

This sudden turn of events was like a bolt from the blue, striking the hearts of everyone present!

The once noisy and bustling casino became completely silent, as if a mute button had been pressed.

The expressions on people's faces, which were originally excited or greedy, now froze into fear and astonishment.

Seeing such a horrifying scene, many people present were so frightened that they couldn't help but scream.

In their panic, they ran around aimlessly like headless flies, trying to find a safe place to hide.

However, at that moment, everyone discovered to their despair that the entire casino had been surrounded by a group of vicious thugs, like an iron barrel, with no possibility of escape.

Immediately afterwards, a group of masked bandits swaggered arrogantly to the center of the stage.

The man at the head was burly with fierce eyes. He raised his head slightly, revealing a sinister smile, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Hello everyone! My name is McDonald. It's fate that we meet here today."

"My brothers and I are just here to make a small fortune. So please, don't resist us. As long as you cooperate, I promise we won't harm anyone."

"However, if anyone dares to disobey orders and not listen to me obediently, then don't blame me for being ruthless and showing no mercy!" After saying that, his sharp, hawk-like eyes coldly swept across the entire room, as if he wanted to see through everyone.

In the center of the stage, McDonald sat leisurely at the gambling table, a barely perceptible sneer playing on his lips.

He then had everyone line up and come up on stage one by one for a life-or-death gamble. Winning didn't count, losing or drawing meant certain death.

However, beneath this seemingly chaotic scene, Ji Lin quietly began to implement his plan.

He calmly released the Shadow Legion's ninja soldiers, these well-trained ninjas moving like ghosts throughout the cruise ship.

The ninjas were agile and swift, approaching the bandits, who were not from the casino, silently.

They worked together seamlessly and acted decisively, subduing and killing the bandits one by one in the blink of an eye. After completing the mission, Ji Lin took out several guns from the system space and quickly threw them into the shadows beneath him.

He then directed several ninja soldiers to disguise the dead bandits as if they had been shot.
