Chapter 1198 - 1267: Thought She Was
"Mr. Lin, although I'm not sure exactly what method you used to win three rounds in a row, the Chou Jiu in front of you is extremely formidable." Lei Jing unconsciously started using the respectful term "Mr.", which was clearly a recognition of Lin Hai's prowess."Oh? How strong is Chou Jiu?" Lin Hai asked curiously.
"Incredibly strong. In the South Asia region, he is unanimously acknowledged as the true first Gambling King, with exceptional skill and a calm mind. It's said his reaction speed surpasses the most advanced surveillance in the United States, and his brain's computational ability and memory far exceed those of normal people."
"Damn, is this some kind of super-brain? That's freakish."
Hearing Lei Jing's explanation, Lin Hai felt like he was facing a weirdo.
"Indeed, he's very freakish, otherwise he wouldn't be South Asia's first Gambling King." Lei Jing nodded.
"What is he skilled at?" Lin Hai followed up.
"You should be asking what he isn't skilled at." Lei Jing sighed, "To my knowledge, as long as it's related to gambling skills, he's proficient in all of it."
"Wow... How did the Eighth Prince manage to bring such a freak to Yanjing?" Lin Hai's eyes widened.
Lei Jing shook her head, "I'm not sure either. No one knows what Chou Jiu was doing before. Ever since he appeared at the South Asia casinos, he started his astonishing journey to become a Gambling King."
Lin Hai glanced at Chou Jiu with surprise.
This guy's past is so mysterious; he's definitely someone with a story, and people like him often give off a feeling of inexplicable prowess.
"Lin Hai, your gambling skills are exquisite. In my lifetime, I've rarely encountered an opponent as formidable as you." Chou Jiu spoke, his tone very calm.
Lin Hai stared into the still and deep eyes of his opponent, calmly replying, "I've heard you're the first Gambling King of South Asia, and I'm very interested to see for myself."
"Just what I had in mind." After a pause, Chou Jiu added, "However, between us, we'll only talk about winning or losing, not anything concerning lives. Regardless of the outcome, you can still see the Eighth Prince."
"Oh? You're able to make decisions on behalf of the Eighth Prince?" Lin Hai asked with a smile.
Chou Jiu nodded, "I'm just passing through Yanjing, and came by invitation. I'm not one of the Eighth Prince's men; he can't afford me. So our win or loss is just a friendly duel and doesn't involve your matters."
Ouyang Xiaoya quietly grabbed Lin Hai's arm and said, "Beast, are you confident you can beat Chou Jiu?"
"Honey, do you think I still have the spirit of a man right now?" Lin Hai took the opportunity to ask.
The Iceberg CEO rolled her eyes harshly at the beast and spat, "You're still hung up on what happened earlier! Beast, put some effort in; we're about to succeed!"
"But I'm lacking motivation," Lin Hai sighed deeply.
"What motivation do you need? At worst, I'll give you a pay raise later, double your monthly pocket money. Is that motivating enough?" Ouyang Xiaoya held back her temper, knowing well that the beast was doing it on purpose.
"Alas, it's still not enough motivation," Lin Hai sighed heavily again.
"Hmph, say what you really want. What do you want?" The CEO angrily crossed her arms.
"Whoa... Honey, how can you say such things?" Lin Hai's eyes widened.
"Isn't it all because I've been stained and influenced by you?" Ouyang Xiaoya was infuriated.
"Cough, cough. The motivation I want is for you to repay the debts from before." Lin Hai batted his eyes, speaking bashfully.
"Debts? When did I owe you debts? You, on the other hand, have been eating my food and drinking my drinks, living off me and constantly annoying me." The CEO huffed.
"Don't you remember those times we bet, you said that if you lost, I'd have the right to do whatever I please, didn't you?" Lin Hai leered, his gaze lingering on the fullness of the CEO's chest.
Ouyang Xiaoya's eyes rolled wildly, thinking the beast wanted to take advantage of the situation, but it turns out it was just this.
Damn it, at such a crucial moment of life-or-death gambling, his mind is nothing but mischievous!
"Apart from principles and boundaries, I can agree to let you do as you please, do you understand me?"
In order to let the beast perform well, Ouyang Xiaoya decided to compromise.
"Oh? What are the principles and boundaries?" Lin Hai asked with a chuckle.
"It's the unbreakable boundaries between men and women!" The CEO gritted her teeth, her small hands clenched tightly, ready to explode.
"What are the unbreakable boundaries between men and women?" Lin Hai asked knowingly.
"Damn it!"
Ouyang Xiaoya's forehead lined with black, biting her teeth, she resigned to explain thoroughly to prevent the beast from causing trouble, deciding to lay everything out.
"That means you can't 'bite', can't do the airplane thing, and no bo-bo push, not even feet. Anything related to that stuff is forbidden!"
"Wow, honey, you know a lot." Lin Hai said weakly.
Ouyang Xiaoya's face turned beet red, even though technically she and Lin Hai were "old husband and wife", this kind of private matter discussed in front of a man was still embarrassingly shameful.
Especially Lin Hai's comment on how much she knows, paired with all kinds of teasing looks, made Ouyang Xiaoya incredibly ashamed.
"Tsk tsk, I always thought of you as 'literary,' but now I see you also have a 'six' side." Lin Hai remarked.
"What do you mean by literary and six?" Ouyang Xiaoya showed a confused expression.
"Literary and six, it's about the shape of the characters. For example, 'literary' is with legs tightly together, representing conservativeness, tradition, and purity. Whereas, for 'six,' the legs open wide below, you get it." Lin Hai demonstrated his eighth-grade language skills.
Ouyang Xiaoya was nearly enraged, realizing the beast was teasing her as a "black ear" type!
This is infuriating!
But in a public setting like this, she couldn't lose her temper!
The distinction between "literary" and "six", only his twisted mind could come up with.
"Cough, cough, alright, honey, just joking to shake off the tension, I'm ready to start with Chou Jiu." Lin Hai quickly changed the topic before she completely combusted, a little tease was fine, but overdoing it might cause serious trouble.
After saying that, Lin Hai looked towards Chou Jiu, saying, "Let's begin."
Chou Jiu nodded, "Since we're high level competitors, let's bet more at once. The wager is, if I win, their lives will be mine. If I lose, I'll agree to three things you ask, or serve as your subordinate for a year. How's that?"
Lin Hai nodded, "Being able to have the first Gambling King of South Asia as a subordinate is quite tempting, I agree."
"Great, we'll gamble on three things at once, roulette, poker, and dice." Chou Jiu suggested.
"No problem."
Top-level players are certainly different from the average; right away, they're engaged in three games simultaneously.
Whether it's the other three gambling kings, Lei Jing, or the rest, they all held their breath and watched intently; a clash of kings in gambling certainly promises a magnificent battle.
"Begin!"
The croupier started dealing cards.
Meanwhile, Lin Hai and Chou Jiu picked up the dice cups and began shaking them.
With the other hand, they each flicked steel balls towards the highest spot on the roulette.
These actions were almost seamless, incredibly fast, and the average person couldn't react at all.
