Chapter 813: Chapter 813

Linghu Baimei was a person who loved the hustle and bustle. After staying in the room for a moment, she felt a bit bored, so she called Fang Bai and Linghu Qianjiao to go out and have fun with her.

The trio had dinner at the restaurant on the second level of the cruise ship, and upon hearing that there was a casino on the fourth level, Linghu Baimei persuaded the two to try their luck.

The entire fourth level of the cruise ship was dedicated to the casino that featured all kinds of gambling games. After numerous wealthy individuals had their fill, they came here, flanked by beautiful women they fancied, to gamble lavishly.

The wealthy individuals who won money casually handed some to the beautiful women by their sides, making those women burst with joy; those who lost money didn’t seem to care, as they exchanged more chips and continued gambling.

These rich individuals were billionaires to whom money was merely a number, so the stakes they gambled were high, often amounting to millions of US Dollars at once.

Previously, Fang Bai, along with Dragon Maiden and others, had won several billions of US Dollars in America’s gambling city, Las Vegas, scratching his gambling itch. Now exceedingly wealthy, he no longer worried about money, so he had no interest in gambling. If not for Linghu Baimei’s insistent nagging, he wouldn’t have bothered coming.

Speaking of gambling, Fang Bai believed that if he wanted to, he could make these rich guys lose everything down to their underwear.

As a man, Fang Bai naturally took the lead in paying when he was out having fun with two women. Once in the casino, he also exchanged ten million US Dollars in chips on behalf of Linghu Baimei to indulge her gambling addiction, while he and Linghu Qianjiao watched her play, just to pass the time.

Now a Heaven Level Martial Artist, Linghu Baimei’s senses were much sharper than an ordinary person. With her superb hearing, she could accurately predict the outcomes of dice games. Thus, she only engaged in simple bets on these games, unsurprisingly winning more often than losing.

Soon, the ten million US Dollars in chips in front of Linghu Baimei had turned into hundreds of millions, drawing the attention of many wealthy individuals who marveled at her "good luck."

"Haha, young master Li, so you’re playing here too!"

Just then, a middle-aged man around forty, clad in a plaid shirt and flanked by two sexy women, entered the casino. Seeing Lin Yun disguised as Li Jinlin, his eyes lit up and he walked over with a loud laugh.

Fang Bai didn’t recognize this man and initially didn’t want to interact with him, but then he remembered he was currently disguised as Li Jinlin, perhaps a friend of Li Jinlin, so he gave a nod in greeting with a slight smile as a polite gesture.

The middle-aged man, named Zhao Shengshi, was a Chinese businessman and a business partner of Li Jinlin. Both men enjoyed traveling and womanizing around the world, sharing similar interests.

In the past, Zhao Shengshi and Li Jinlin would usually start with a warm hug when they met, and then boast about the beautiful women they had recently been with.

However, Zhao Shengshi was puzzled by the "Li Jinlin" before him, who seemed like a different person and lacked the warmth usually shown between good friends.

"Hehe, young master Li, your bodyguards are getting more and more beautiful! Eh? Xiao Yu is gambling? I remember she never used to touch this stuff! Xiao Yu, how much have you won?"

Zhao Shengshi thought "Li Jinlin" was in a bad mood, hence the lack of usual warmth, but he didn’t mind. He left the two women by his side and approached the bustling Linghu Baimei, placing an arm around her shoulders as he spoke.

Zhao Shengshi and Li Jinlin were good friends, and Zhao was also very familiar with Lin Yun and Lin Yu, Lin Jinlin’s female bodyguards. He would occasionally jest with the bodyguards, who wouldn’t get angry out of respect for Lin Jinlin.

However, Zhao Shengshi never expected that the Lin Yun before him was not the Lin Yun he knew.

Linghu Baimei had won quite a bit of money and was enjoying her gambling when suddenly, an unfamiliar man’s wandering hand invaded her space, instantly infuriating her.

With a cold snort and a quick raise of her eyebrows, she grabbed the hand on her shoulder and twisted it gently, causing a crisp "crack" sound as Zhao Shengshi’s arm dislocated. He immediately broke into a sweat from the intense pain and started howling.

"Disgusting man, blocking my winning streak, go die somewhere else!"

Linghu Baimei never knew what modesty was, and with those words, she kicked Zhao Shengshi right in the butt.

In the midst of Zhao Shengshi’s excruciating screams, his body slid forward along the ground, right to the staircase, then tumbled down from the fourth floor of the cruise ship.

Seeing this, the two beauties who had followed Zhao Shengshi to the fourth floor screamed in horror, their faces pale with fear.

As Zhao Shengshi struggled to rise from the ground, his face was already swollen and bruised beyond recognition.

Guests relaxing on the third and fourth floors of the cruise ship turned their heads towards the commotion upon hearing the noise.

"Old Zhao, getting beaten by a woman, isn’t that too embarrassing?"

"Hehe, if it were me, I couldn’t tolerate it!"

"Yes, if you don’t retaliate today, your reputation will be completely ruined!"

"Don’t you have bodyguards with you? Go fight back!"

"A gentleman must avenge his wrongs!"

"Strike when you must!"

Many wealthy elites around recognized Zhao Shengshi and began to incite him, urging him to take revenge.

Zhao Shengshi’s background was not inferior to Li Jinlin’s, perhaps even slightly better. Although he got along well with Li Jinlin, being so embarrassingly beaten by one of Li Jinlin’s female bodyguards in front of many wealthy elites on the ship infuriated him beyond measure. In pain from a dislocated arm, he began to jump and howl below.

"Li Jinlin, let your bodyguard come down here! If I don’t beat her half to death today, I’m not a Zhao! Don’t protect her, or our friendship is over forever!"

Zhao Shengshi roared angrily.

"This woman, she stirs up trouble wherever she goes!"

Fang Bai listened to Zhao Shengshi ranting on the third floor, and then glanced at Linghu Baimei, who was nonchalantly collecting chips, and he couldn’t help but smile bitterly to himself.

"Stupid man, keep shouting, and see if I don’t shut you up for good," Linghu Baimei said.

Before Fang Bai could utter a word, Linghu Baimei had already walked to the staircase, hands on her hips, standing high and looking down at Zhao Shengshi with a cold smirk.

Thinking that Li Jinlin wanted to protect his subordinate, Zhao Shengshi furiously said, "Li Jinlin, since you can’t discipline your people, I’ll discipline her for you! Ono, Paolo, go and beat her... beat her mercilessly! Just don’t kill her!"

Ono and Paolo, Zhao Shengshi’s bodyguards, were equivalent to High Rank Yellow Level Martial Artists. Ono was a Japanese warrior, while Paolo was American; both were heavily employed bodyguards from the Zhao Shengshi family.
