Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 651 - 661: Provocation (29 more!)
For Brother Fu, a top-tier gambling king, this Ace of Diamonds already represented certain victory.
He JiaChao knew Brother Fu's abilities as well and sneered coldly, eager to see Ye Ling make a fool of himself, "Let's see how you switch cards now, I'm laying it out directly."
Ye Ling shrugged his shoulders, "The Ace of Diamonds, quite large indeed and not bad, but unfortunately..."
As he spoke, Ye Ling flipped over his card, and Brother Fu instantly staggered backward several steps, watching in shock as Ye Ling revealed an Ace of Hearts!
"No, this can't be possible," Brother Fu muttered to himself, having never encountered such a bizarre event before, never.
"Who exactly are you, and why have you come to our He Famil's casino, tell me!"
If He JiaChao still didn't realize by now that this hateful man had come for revenge, he would truly be a fool, so he roared in a low voice.
Ye Ling across from him smiled sharply, "Me? Ye Ling from the inland. I think He Jiaqi and your grandfather should have mentioned me."

"All right, this bet is too small. Let's wager bigger, one billion US dollars!"
Ye Ling threw down his cards and slowly smiled, saying this. He JiaChao, hearing 'one billion US dollars,' was completely shocked; one billion US dollars, that was fifty or sixty billion of Huaxia Currency!
He didn't have the authority to make such a huge bet, where the outcome of a single round could almost affect the changes in the casino's shareholding.
What's more important, he had heard of this Ye Ling. Just a few days ago, his grandfather and brothers who had been in the inland suddenly rushed back, and upon inquiry, he found out that they had encountered a terrifying person.
This person had pressured his grandfather, the man who he thought would never accept defeat, to rush from the inland to Xiangjiang overnight.
"A billion! No, I won't bet with you, you're insane, you're a madman!"
He JiaChao suddenly shouted excitedly, seeing that the situation was certain loss, how could he possibly jump in, and besides, he didn't have the authority, which is why he was terrified.
Ye Ling, however, stood up, "Not betting? I think you have no choice. One billion US dollars, you have to bet, otherwise, it's death. What do you think?"
As he spoke, Ye Fei, who was behind Ye Ling, had already come to He JiaChao's side, with a frighteningly cold dagger appearing below He JiaChao's neck.
The chilling sensation pressed against He JiaChao's neck, causing him to feel terror throughout his body, even the hairs on his body seemed to be sliced off by the chill emitted from the dagger.
"You have no choice, so, let's deal the cards, that highly skilled sir, deal the cards!"
Ye Ling said with a slight smile, yet his words carried an irresistibly commanding tone, causing fear to tremble to the core when heard.
Suddenly, just at that moment, the door to the VIP room opened, and a throng of people entered majestically. The first to enter was Elder He, his furious face supported by his cane.
Following him were local celebrities from various circles, and even high-ranking officials, each of whom had come to cheer for the He Famil and to intimidate Ye Ling.
"Ye Ling, you're pushing things too far! This is Xiangjiang, not the inland. Command your men to lay down their weapons, otherwise, this old man will have an endless issue with you!"
Elder He shouted angrily, and a He Famil member behind him cursed coldly, "Who do you think you are? Release my cousin immediately, or you won't be able to leave Xiangjiang!"
Ye Ling turned his head, looking at the person who was cursing him, and smiled lightly, "You really have quite the courage!"
"Take him down!"
Ye Ling spoke slowly, and in the next moment, Ye Fei moved. His figure was like a phantom, going directly to the young man's side, the dagger in his hand suddenly spinning.
Whoosh, the blade slashed fiercely, and a second later, Ye Fei had returned to He JiaChao's side, the dagger already positioned beneath his neck, while the guy who had been cursing Ye Ling collapsed to the ground, clutching at his knees, howling in agony.
"You can choose to ignore my words," he said, "but then I have to fulfill my promise, because if I didn't, I would be known as someone who doesn't keep his word."
"He JiaChao, today you'll gamble whether you like it or not. I've said, it's not up to you!"
As he spoke, Ye Fei's dagger moved inwards a step further, and He JiaChao's complexion turned pale, his legs trembling. How cruel, he thought, the man before him was nothing short of a ruthless devil.
To save his own life, He JiaChao, with trembling hands, took out a card, dealing one to Ye Ling first, then keeping one for himself.
He carefully turned over the card with both hands, his saliva hard to swallow, feeling extremely nervous. If he lost, he would become the sinner of the He Family!
All the members of the He Family stared intently at He JiaChao's card. When He JiaChao saw his card clearly, he was instantly ecstatic and slammed it down on the gambling table.
"Haha! I've won! I've got the Ace of Clubs and there are no more Aces left, just one deck. I want to see what you're going to do about it, haha!"
He JiaChao was overjoyed, but Ye Ling, on the other hand, casually flipped his card over. At the sight of the card, He JiaChao was instantly dumbfounded.
The Ace of Spades – it was the Ace of Spades. That was impossible; it was cheating, there was no way. All four Aces had appeared in a single deck.
"No! You cheated, you lost, you must have cheated, how can there be five Aces in a deck. It's impossible!"
Ye Ling looked at the hysterical He JiaChao and shrugged his shoulders, "Sorry, in my world, there are no rules. Clearly, I've won."
Ye Ling's words shook the elder of the He Family to the core, trembling with rage. This was a provocation, a blatant challenge. He was being told that even if there was cheating involved, if he claimed he won, then he won. No room for reason!
"Ye Ling! You!"
The He family elder, overcome by anger, collapsed suddenly and fainted, causing immediate uproar in the room. Some people pinched his 'renzhong' acupoint, while others hastily performed CPR on him.
"You're too arrogant, young man, I don't care who you are, you've crossed the line. This is Xiangjiang, not the inland!"
"Young man! You are done for; you're completely done for. I guarantee that you won't be able to leave Xiangjiang!"
Listening to the threats beside him, Ye Ling shook his head, "You talk too much."
As the words fell, Ye Fei was already at the man's side. With a smack, he delivered a ferocious slap to the face of the man, horror-stricken, leaving the clear imprint of five fingers.
"Tell the He Family elder he owes me one billion Huaxia Currency. I'll come to collect it tomorrow. He has only one day's time. Otherwise, don't blame me for starting a massacre!"
After saying this, Ye Ling stood up, and Ye Fei and Li Tianhao immediately rose, following Ye Ling out.
Inside the room, a bunch of dumbstruck people were left behind, all of them stunned, at a loss for what to do.
No one knew that from this moment on, Xiangjiang would be hit by a terrifying storm in the underworld, and it was all started by this one young man.
The cool breeze softly blew, slightly chilly, as Ye Ling and his two companions left the casino, looking back at the chaotic scene with a cold smile.
