Mysterious Revival

The dinner continued.

But the small restaurant was already filled with the smell of blood.

The bodyguards brought by Boss He had their skin cracked open and blood gushing out, nearly passing out from the pain, but they dared not stop, using a stainless steel spoon to slowly scrape off the tattoos on their skin.

The cause of all this was merely a bodyguard instinctively pulling out a gun earlier.

Boss He did not stop it, knowing that if Yang Jian didn’t teach them a lesson, it would be dangerous for himself.

Besides, these wounds weren’t fatal, just a matter of a trip to the hospital for treatment later.

“Your guys have quite the tolerance. They’re tough, not uttering a word till now. But the tougher they are on themselves, the tougher they are on others. I’m really afraid they’d suddenly pull out a gun and shoot me dead. Sitting with these dangerous people requires quite some courage,” Yang Jian said, taking a sip of the hot milk tea just served, and glanced over.

“The guns in their hands are just toys, they shouldn’t affect you, Team Leader Yang. Why bother with them? Let them take a walk outside instead of being a nuisance here,” Boss He suggested.

Yang Jian looked at him and said, “You want me to let them off? It’s possible, but I believe things need to be fair. Didn’t Boss He just invite me to play at your casino? How about this, I’ll add a rule: if Boss He can make me lose one billion points, I’ll spare one of you.”

“And if you can’t?” Boss He’s expression changed.

Yang Jian replied, “If I win a billion points, then I’d ask one of you to disappear from this world. One billion for a life, I think it’s a fair bet. What do you think, Boss He? Oh, I forgot to remind you, your life is included.”

“What?”

Boss He was shocked and angry, immediately standing up.

“Team Leader Yang, I’ve already shown you a lot of respect. Isn’t this a bit too much?”

Yang Jian, with a cold expression, said, “Too much? You set up a scheme to take away tens of billions from us, nearly bankrupting a few of us. That’s not excessive? As I understand, there are not a few bosses who have gone bankrupt and jumped from your casino. Didn’t you find that excessive then?”

“Willing to gamble must be willing to lose. That’s what you said.”

Boss He’s face changed unpredictably: “Team Leader Yang, do we have to play such high stakes?”

“On your turf, you are the dealer; they abide by your rules. But here, I’m the dealer; you abide by my rules. Don’t let me catch you cheating. Otherwise, when the game ends, I’ll flip the table and make all of you disappear, including you,” Yang Jian said, pointing at the broker, Qian Xin.

Qian Xin’s expression drastically changed, his whole body tensed up. He forced a smile and said, “Team Leader Yang, it’s better to make friends than enemies. Why let things get this way?”

“This hasn’t reached the point of turning hostile yet. If you can win against me, naturally there won’t be any issues.”

Yang Jian said, “I just checked, you have a total of eight people here. Boss He needs to win eight billion from me tonight for this to end; otherwise, if I win eight billion, then I’ll only be very sorry.”

“Headquarters won’t allow Team Leader Yang to do such a thing,” Boss He said in a deep voice.

“You still know headquarters? Not bad, quite informed. Then you can report this to headquarters and see whether they deal with you or with me. Boss He, don’t get it wrong, you guys are the ones who provoked me first. Ordinary people should just stay as ordinary people. Stepping into circles you shouldn’t enter means you have to bear the corresponding risks.”

“It’s already considered restraint that I didn’t outright kill you when we met, and you have time to respond. If you want to survive, then win against us.”

Yang Jian knocked on the table heavily, his expression particularly cold.

At this moment, cold sweat broke out on Boss He’s face as he realized the severity of the situation.

This Yang Jian isn’t here for money; he’s here for his life this time. He had naively thought that compensating some money would settle things, but now it seems the situation is heading for the worst-case scenario.

Sure enough, this fits the style of those in the supernatural circle.

What Boss He didn’t expect was that he’d been the dealer all his life, and now it was his turn for someone else to be the dealer.

“Team Leader Yang, can we discuss this further, without making things so stiff? We’re all in this to make money, after all, why go to such lengths?” Qian Xin tried to persuade Yang Jian to drop the idea, serving as a mediator.

But before he could finish speaking.

Suddenly.

Qian Xin’s body stiffened as he felt something foreign on his chest, a bone-chilling cold instantly coursing through his entire body. He then saw a cold, blackened hand slowly reaching out from inside his collar, directly gripping his neck with terrifying strength as if it was about to snap it.

Suddenly, a strong sense of suffocation and fear surged in.

Qian Xin’s eyes widened in horror, staring at the eerie and terrifying dead hand on his neck, his whole body shivering uncontrollably.

Is this… a ghost?

“You are in this to make money; I’m not. Don’t get it wrong,” Yang Jian said, eyeing him.

Seeing the terrifying hand on Qian Xin’s neck, Boss He’s face turned pale and his complexion was very bad. He knew this was Yang Jian’s supernatural power, and once used, there was no difference from a real evil ghost killing someone.

Ordinary people have no chance against such ghostly powers.

“Since Team Leader Yang insists, I have no choice but to go all out and play with Team Leader Yang. I just hope that Team Leader Yang keeps his promise and doesn’t settle accounts afterward,” Boss He calmed down and decided to take a gamble.

He had no choice.

Because Yang Jian could kill them at any time, he could only adhere to Yang Jian’s rules to play the game.

“Certainly, I’m a person who keeps promises. This is just a gamble. If you win, nothing will happen; if you lose, then you leave your life here today,” Yang Jian said.

“Given that, I’ll take my leave first. My Daxing Entertainment City is just across; Team Leader Yang won’t get lost. I’ll be waiting for Team Leader Yang over there.”

Boss He’s attitude changed too, becoming somewhat assertive as he left with his bodyguards and assistant.

Now that the facade was torn off, there was no need for pleasantries anymore. He’s also not afraid of Yang Jian suddenly making a move since the rules were set.

Yang Jian said nothing, just silently agreeing to the departure of Boss He and his crew.

“Brother Tui, this guy suddenly got so arrogant. Why don’t we block them and let them leave only after we’re done? If we let them leave so easily, they’ll definitely call people for revenge later,” Zhang Wei said.

“You also know they would call people. I just want them to call people. How else can we draw out the ones behind them?”

Yang Jian replied, “Of course, that’s provided the people behind them are willing to stick up for them. If they’re merely pawns, then they’re destined to lose today. I’ll just treat this as an ordinary case.”

“Whether it’s really aimed at me or just a misunderstanding will be determined by if they win or lose this time.”

Zhang Wei said, “Are you really going to gamble? Can you win over eight billion? Don’t kid yourself; I know your skills well enough. You’ve never won at poker once.”

“No. I won’t gamble, and I don’t gamble. I have no interest in such things,” Yang Jian replied.

“Then why did you say you’d gamble with them,” Zhang Wei asked.

Yang Jian said, “I won’t go up; you and Xiong Wenwen will go up.”

“As expected, you finally have to rely on me, Daddy Xiong. Xiao Yang, you’ve found the right person. Tell me, how much starting cash have you prepared for Daddy Xiong this time? I guarantee I’ll make them lose everything and make them kneel and call you daddy and call me grandpa,” Xiong Wenwen stood up proudly, raising his head high.

Wang Bin said, “The money left in the company’s account isn’t much, only a few tens of millions left.”

“What? Only this much left? When I left, there were still several billion. How on earth did you use it all up?” Jiang Yan immediately widened her eyes, incredulously saying.

She was the accountant and had been managing the company’s accounts and Yang Jian’s private account before going back to her hometown.

Wang Bin remained silent.

Yang Jian waved his hand and said, “It’s just money. If we lose, we’ll win it back; it’s not a big deal. Since the other perty has already entered the arena, we should almost be setting off too. Half an hour is enough time for them to prepare.”

“Indeed, it’s time for me, Ah Wei, to shine. Dad, you must watch closely and see how I save you from the brink of bankruptcy,” Zhang Wei stood up; at this moment, he was in high spirits, feeling like a master about to take the stage.

“I’m not counting on you anyway,” Zhang Xiangu glanced at him and said.

“Let’s move; let’s have some fun tonight,” Yang Jian said.

Soon.

“`

The group left Xinji Restaurant and headed to Daxing Entertainment City across the street.

The luxurious casino was brightly lit, with luxury cars coming and going non-stop. Inside, everyone was well-dressed, and quite a few handsome men and beautiful women were seen going in and out.

Yang Jian and his companions entered Daxing Entertainment City and arrived at the points exchange place.

“Two million points for each person. If you win, it’s yours; if you lose, it’s on me,” he offered some benefits to the accompanying managers and executives.

“Thank you, President Yang.”

Jiang Yan pouted unhappily because the money had to come from Yang Jian’s private pocket.

“What about me? I’m sure I deserve more than just this little bit,” Zhang Wei said.

“Daddy Xiong also deserves special treatment,” Xiong Wenwen chimed in immediately.

Yang Jian replied, “You want to be special, Jiang Yan, give me your wallet.”

“What do you want the wallet for?” Jiang Yan took out her wallet.

Yang Jian opened it and handed each person a thousand: “That’s all you guys get.”

“What? Only a thousand? Xiao Yang, you must be joking. They each get two million,” Xiong Wenwen said.

Yang Jian said, “They’re participating, and the probability of losing is higher. You’re guaranteed to win, a thousand is already a lot. If the amount weren’t too small to exchange, I’d think ten bucks would be enough for you.”

“Since you put it that way, a thousand it is. Anyway, it’s Daddy Xiong who’ll win in the end,” Xiong Wenwen nodded and accepted the thousand points.

Zhang Wei said solemnly, “If that’s the case, a hundred is fine for me.”

“Stop bragging, do you think you’re me?” Xiong Wenwen scoffed: “Just don’t sneak off to borrow money when you lose.”

“I, Ah Wei, can crush the opponent with just a hundred bucks,” Zhang Wei boasted, “unless they cheat. But they definitely don’t have the guts for it, if they dare to cheat, Brother Tui will crush them.”

“I’ll quietly watch you brag and wait for you to get slapped in the face. But it doesn’t matter if you lose anyway, because in the end, we’ll rely on Daddy Xiong,” Xiong Wenwen said.

As they spoke, Yang Jian and the others had completed the points exchange.

Wang Bin, Zhang Xiangu, and others each had two million points, ready to play around and participate.

Xiong Wenwen and Zhang Wei each had a thousand points.

Yang Jian wasn’t interested and didn’t participate.

“Since you’re not playing, I won’t either. I only have a bit of private money and don’t want to lose it all,” Jiang Yan said.

“You can follow Xiong Wenwen, let him take you along,” Yang Jian replied.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan’s eyes lit up: “Right, why didn’t I think of that?”

At once, she also went to exchange for ten thousand points.

It’s not that she lacked money, but Jiang Yan was timid and wanted to test it out first. If Xiong Wenwen’s predictions were off, wouldn’t it be a disaster for her?

Better to play it safe.

“Brother Tui, I’m going first, see you later.” Zhang Wei, now excited, charged into the casino with just a hundred bucks and quickly disappeared.

Zhang Xiangu immediately said, “Yang Jian, will he be safe just running off like this?”

“No worries, I’ll keep an eye on him, rest assured. My purpose in not participating is to ensure nobody stirs up trouble,” Yang Jian replied.

“That’s good then.” Zhang Xiangu eased his mind.

“Who wants to follow your Daddy Xiong? I guarantee I’ll lead you to fortune,” Xiong Wenwen’s eyes twinkled as he decided to recruit a batch of followers.

Jiang Yan immediately shouted, “Take me, take me.”

Several accompanying managers also expressed their desire to follow Xiong Wenwen; who would want to miss out on such an opportunity to get rich?

Wang Bin and Zhang Xiangu expressed their wish to explore around.

Yang Jian didn’t object and agreed to their actions.

Soon after,

The group split up inside the casino.

“Is it really safe?” Jiang Yan whispered.

Yang Jian replied, “In a place this small, nothing will happen.”

After speaking, he gestured to a waiter and got a glass of water.

“If you’re uneasy, hold onto this glass of water; it will protect you.” Yang Jian handed the glass of water to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan looked at the glass; through the reflection, she saw a black Evil Hound’s figure appear inside.

“Then I’m relieved.”

She wasn’t afraid, knowing this was Yang Jian’s trick, felt extremely safe, and squinted with a smile.

Yang Jian said, “Go play, I’ll walk around.”

“Don’t go too far, shout if you need me,” Jiang Yan said.

Yang Jian nodded and wandered off alone in a direction inside the casino.

Once he moved,

The cameras in the dark began monitoring him non-stop, almost a 365-degree view with no blind spots.

“Today, keep a tight watch on Yang Jian and that strange kid called Xiong Wenwen. The others might just be decoys, focus on them. Yang Jian and that kid Xiong Wenwen aren’t ordinary people; they’ll certainly have ways of cheating, can’t let them win eight million points.” Boss He appeared in the surveillance room, gritting his teeth as he spoke to the security manager.

“Don’t worry, boss, they won’t be able to win,” the security manager said.

Boss He further said, “If they win eight million today, don’t blame me for being ruthless; if you achieve the goal today, the eight million will be your bonus.”

“Thank you, boss.”

Everyone in the surveillance room became excited.

But Boss He wasn’t happy at all. He walked out of the surveillance room with a grim face because he felt this alone wasn’t enough; he needed to borrow some gambling experts from other casinos to intervene. Aside from that, he had to reach out to Lok Sheng, the one responsible for Da’ao City.

Ordinary methods may have limited effect; supernatural circles need to be dealt with by supernatural people.

“Boss, Lok Sheng has been playing in the VIP room all afternoon and hasn’t left yet,” an assistant reminded.

“He’s still here? In which VIP room, take me to find him.” Boss He looked slightly moved and immediately set off.

He had a hunch; Lok Sheng was waiting for Yang Jian to come over.

And the more it was like this, the more uneasy Boss He became.

Because this might mean he’s being used, the other party intentionally bringing Yang Jian to Da’ao City with his hand, and what would happen after that was beyond his knowledge.

Thus, his sense of panic grew deeper.
