Chapter 539: Show-Off Failed (Part One)
Seeing him being unreasonable about it, the appraisal team was also left with no option. After all, this was a VIP member of the club. “Young Master Lee, 9.5 billion, can’t be more. If you are not willing to take it, then we can only forget about the deal.”
How could he forget about the deal?
He already put the word out there as the younger prince of the Three-Star corporation, it would be super embarrassing if he were to back out right now. Besides, it wouldn’t just be embarrassing to him, but to the whole Three-Star Corporation. He didn’t want him and his family to be laughing stocks in others’ conversations.
After all, in the Bang Nation, Three-Star represented the nation’s face. The saying of ‘If Three-Star coughs, the Bang Nation would get a cold’ was not just a joke. All of the financial groups in the Bang Nation were centered around Three-Star, and this company controlled about 40% of the Bang Nation’s economic income. What does that mean?
That meant such a god-like existence in the Bang Nation would never tolerate being humiliated by someone with just 10 billion. He could tolerate it, but Three-Star couldn’t, or at least that was what he thought.
So, with the justified righteous reason disguising his own pride, Young Master Lee decided that his face must coexist with Three-Star’s face.
Xu Cheng whistled and pointed out Young Master Lee to the other guests and said, “This is the young prince of the Three-Star Corporation, now he’s short of 500 million. Which one of you wants to lend him the money?”
Young Master Lee looked at the three other tycoons at the table and said, “Let me borrow 500 million, I obviously wouldn’t lose all of my money. I will give them right back after I’m done.”
The other guys thought about it, and since he was, after all, a VIP member, they each took out 1 to 2 hundred million for a total of 500 million to lend to him.
When he sat back down at the table with Xu Cheng, he once again resumed the role of the domineering and confident prince of Three-Star.
“I’ve never seen you before, your money isn’t from illegal venues, right?”
“There are way too many low-key people. You people like to be high-profile, it doesn’t mean the whole world would revolve around you. What do you want to play?”
“Whatever is fine.” Young Master Lee said, “I’m sure this money isn’t yours, so I will watch how you repay the debt after you lose it all to me,” Young Master Lee said.
“That’s good, I look forward to it.” Xu Cheng looked over at Haber and said, “Weren’t you curious how I managed to win all that money from Vegas? You can take a good look tonight.”
Haber was looking forward to it very much for sure. He moved his chair closer to him. “I didn’t know you had access to this much money. Man, you really are a deep guy, then why did you still dupe me out of that one billion?”
Xu Cheng lifted his brows. “Don’t like the deal? Then give me back the medicine.”
“Come on man, I’m just joking, we bros! All expenses on this trip are all on me, you don’t have to worry about a cent!”
“Yeah, no sh-t, I just helped you win 200 million, are you still making me pay for the spaghetti?” Xu Cheng glanced at him from the corner of his eyes.
Just then, Young Master Lee whispered something into his bodyguard’s ear.
“Sorry, I think since we are playing big, it’s better to be cautious. I asked a friend to come and play for me,” Young Master Lee smiled and said to Xu Cheng.
Haber’s eyes narrowed, getting a bad feeling about it.
Within a few minutes, the bodyguard came over with a young man with lipstick marks all over his face.
“Jingfan, come and play some cards for me.” Young Master Lee said to this guy that looked a bit unwilling, “Someone is looking down on our Bang Nation!”
“Who?” The man came over, glancing at Xu Cheng. “Asian? Wei Nation?”
Xu Cheng replied, “Your Bang Nation’s ancestor: Huaxia.”
At the scene, there were also tourists from Huaxia. Hearing this, they all laughed as they came over with their wine glasses. Just for how Xu Cheng had the balls to mock the Bang Nation in public, a few of them walked up to Xu Cheng and passed him their business cards.
“Brother, let’s grab a drink later. I like how direct you are. If it’s not convenient later, then you can give me a call when you get back to Huaxia in the future. We can hang out anytime.”

The other Huaxia compatriots also came over and echoed, “Yeah, beat this Bang Nation guy. Lately, I’ve been getting angry whenever I hear about them.”
A more sensible compatriot came over and patted Xu Cheng on the shoulder and said, “Brother, be careful. I know the guy that just came over. He’s a member of the World Gambler Club, and he was also recognized as a national-level gambling professional, Yan Jingfan.”
“Oh?” Xu Cheng was a bit surprised, not about the fact that this guy was a top-tier pro, but the fact that Young Master Lee actually had this guy gamble in his place. To put it plainly, if Xu Cheng didn’t appear here today, he was basically planning to use this guy to win money from the other rich guys.
Yan Jingfan glanced at Xu Cheng, laughed, and said, “If you are scared, you don’t have to play with me. I never force people, because it’s also not fun for me to beat a mentally handicapped person with no skill. But, I’m playing because you humiliated my nation, and if you apologize, then you can leave right now and not lose money.”
Xu Cheng sneered. “Don’t worry about that, let’s just go.”
Yan Jingfan: “What a frog that lived its whole life in a well. In the world of gambling, I have a hundred methods to beat you. But you! You won’t stand a chance at all. Losing a couple of billions just to have some verbal fun, do you think it’s worth it?”
“Just to be able to say ‘go fack yourself’ is enough to make it worth it. Recently I’ve been out of my country but I heard your Bang Nation has been pretty rampant these days. It’s unfortunate that I didn’t pay a visit to your country, but since I met you today, then I wouldn’t be a man of Huaxia if I didn’t win some money from you. Just cut the nonsense and let’s play. What do you want to play?” Xu Cheng said impatiently.
Yan Jingfan narrowed his eyes. “It should be me that asks you what to play, because no matter what you want to play, I’m down.”
Xu Cheng slid over a dice box to him and said, “How about you show your skills to me first?”
Yan Jingfan snorted. Since there were many people watching, he was more than happy to show off his skills. Instantly, he raised the dice cup into the air, shaking the dice inside.
At the same time, he asked Xu Cheng, “You want big or small?”
Xu Cheng: “Then let’s do small.”
After shaking the dice roller a bit, he smacked down forcefully on the desk.
Just at the instant the roller touched the desk, Xu Cheng also smacked down as he shouted, “Great shaking skills.” Although other people just thought they heard the sound and didn’t see the desk move, the desk in fact shook violently inside, causing the dice to change numbers.
When Yan Jingfan lifted the roller, his face immediately turned red.
It was because, not to mention one number that was between 1-3, there were no small numbers at all.
Some of the audiences immediately snorted. “Are you trying to play for small or big?”
At this time, Xu Cheng just said nonchalantly, “Who doesn’t know the Bang Nation people always boast about themselves? They even claimed that paper, a Huaxia invention, actually originated from the Bang Nation. Don’t they know to act humble in front of their ancestors?”
Young Master Lee glared at Yan Jingfan and said in a low voice, “What the fack happened?”
“Accident.” Yan Jingfan lowered his head to inspect the dice and said, “The dice should be fine. Did you guys do something to the roller and the table? Almost all casinos like to do that to scam the gamblers.”
At this moment, the manager of the casino couldn’t bear to listen anymore. “Your Bang Nation casinos like to do that and even got exposed for it, it doesn’t mean everyone else does it. Please do not insult our professionalism. Our guests are all esteemed and powerful individuals, if we actually dared to do anything, our establishment would’ve been doomed a long time ago. How long have you been out of the game now? I seriously question whether you bought your way into the World Gambler’s Club.”
Yan Jingfan awkwardly coughed and didn’t know how to respond. He was really just trying to make excuses for his own failure just now, and he didn’t expect to be called out for it and get face-slapped this soon.
