Chapter 231: Chapter 231: This is a Big Fish (3rd Update)
After the boss spoke, Xu Hong quietly stood aside, remaining silent like a bodyguard.
He knew well that the lobby manager probably mistook the boss for a wealthy young man, thinking he was so young, what could he understand, coming to the casino just to give money away.
Even if they write IOUs, it doesn’t matter. The more they owe, the happier they are, because given Celestial Alliance’s current strength, there are few debts they can’t recover.
Xu Hong couldn’t help but laugh coldly in his heart: Sorry, you’ve got it wrong!
Shi Bao, standing nearby, had no objections to Lin Xi’s last-minute change of plans. After all, his main purpose today was to ensure the safety of Lin Xi and his two companions.
Of course, the priority was to ensure the safety of Xu Hong and Xu Fei, as Lin Xi’s abilities were stronger than either of them.
"Please, this way!" The lobby manager said while leading Lin Xi and his entourage of ten to the private elevator, thinking to himself, "Big fish, today is going to be a windfall!"
Since Xu Hong and this rich young man were both first-time visitors, and since he brought them in, he would get a commission from all their expenses.
"Ding!"
The elevator descended to the basement level two before finally stopping.
After exiting the elevator, they were confronted by a large iron door. The lobby manager took a card from his pocket, swiped it across a sensor, and the iron door automatically opened.
Going inside, after walking for a minute, they encountered another similar large iron door.
The only difference was that on each side of this door stood two burly men. Seeing that it was the lobby manager bringing people in, their watchful demeanor relaxed instantly.
The lobby manager ran forward, whispered a few words in the ear of one of the men, and watched as the man patted his shoulder, gave Lin Xi and Xu Hong a strangely meaningful look, and then shouted,
"Open the door!"
Then, the two burly men near the door each took out a card from their pockets and simultaneously swiped them on the door’s sensors. Immediately, there was a "click" sound and the door slowly opened.
Shi Bao and Xu Hong exchanged a glance, and each saw seriousness in the other’s eyes.
The two iron doors, especially this one, would make it difficult for them to escape if a fight broke out later.
But now that things had progressed to this point, they could only take it one step at a time.
Following the lobby manager through the second door, they turned a corner and were greeted by opulence and a dazzling array of gambling tables.
There were quite a few people, with at least five at each table, and some tables crowded with over ten people.
However, there was one aspect that differed from what most imagined a casino to be: despite the numerous people, the entire casino wasn’t noisy; it had an eerie quietness.
It seemed that the status and standing of these people prevented them from behaving like ordinary folks, who would shout or act dramatically when losing.
"May I know your surname?" The lobby manager suddenly turned to Lin Xi, asking while they walked.
"Lin," Lin Xi replied.
"Well then, Mr. Lin, this is where we exchange chips. You need to exchange before you can play to your heart’s content," the lobby manager explained, clearly intending for Lin Xi to exchange money first before gambling.
Lin Xi nodded in agreement and then said to Xu Hong, "Do you have a million, lend it to me first!"
Without hesitation, Xu Hong took a card from his wallet and handed it to Lin Xi, replying, "Boss, there’s five million on the card, the password is #￥%@@#, just use it as you like, no need for courtesy."
The lobby manager almost jumped with excitement upon hearing their conversation.
