Chapter 262: The Dragon Master in the Casino

Some people say that we should only do our part because God has a plan for us all. It sounds reasonable but is often used as an excuse for laziness. They don't know how hard it is to play their role well.

This time Xiao Bing had used up all his energy, schemes and everything else he had. He will not regret anything, whether he wins or loses.

All Xiao Bing needed to do now was to wait for the final war. Xiao Bing was still outnumbered and this would be a war between schemes and strength.

There was a privately owned casino in Harbin. Xiao Bing didn't now its owner. He heard of it from Lv Zhe. After having dinner with Yu Wenhua, he asked Lv Zhe to drive him to the casino. Xiao Bing didn't ask Yu Wenhua why he allowed its existence, because he believed that what exists is reasonable. There must be an unknown reason behind it.

The casino was located inside a mansion. When the guard saw that the driver was Yu Wenhua, he let the car in without asking questions. Lv Zhe rolled down the window as Xiao Bing got out of the car, “Though Mr. Yu didn't shut this place down, he still doesn't like it. I should go now because I need to pick him up. Enjoy yourself. But be careful and don't lose all your money!”

Xiao Bing waved his hands. After Lv Zhe drove off, he whirled around and stepped into the mansion.

Ever since Lv Zhe's car drove into the yard, a pale-skinned young man on the second floor had been fixing his eyes on Xiao Bing. Beside him stood a middle-aged man clad in a black shirt. There were two clipped mustaches on his face. He seemed very respectful while bowing.

The young man watched Xiao Bing get out of the car. Then he asked in a faint voice, “Do you know this man?”

The middle-aged man cast Xiao Bing a glance, pondered for a moment and shook his head, “No, I don't.”

Xiao Bing had just taken Master Hou's place for a few days. Most of the others merely heard of his name. Some of them were even not even familiar with this name.”

The young man said, “But I suppose you are familiar with that car?”

The middle-aged man smiled, “Yes, yes. It's Mr. Yu's car.”

“So it's Yu Wenhua's driver who drove him here. I believe few men in Hei Province are given such an honor. Don't underestimate him. I need you to serve him tonight.”

The middle-aged man's face turned serious and he replied respectfully, “As you say, Master Xu. I will go downstairs then.”

“Go.”

The middle-aged man took his leave reverently.

Xiao Bing walked into the hall. The guards didn't stop him. Two servants came to him smiling, “Excuse me, do you have recommendations?”

Xiao Bing shook his head and asked, “What? I need a recommendation to come here?”

The two servants who spoke looked just over 20. They both behaved very respectfully, which showed how well-trained they were. They wouldn't just let anyone in, but at the same time, they are careful not to offend any customer.

One of them put on an apologetic smile, “That's the regulation here.”

Suddenly a deep voice drifted into their ears, “You two can leave. I'll attend to this guest myself.”

The middle-aged man trotted down the stairs. The two servants gasped, “Mr. Lu… We understand. We apologize to you, sir. The house steward will attend to your needs from now on.”

Then the two took their exits quietly.

Mr. Lu came over to Xiao Bing, smilingly. He cupped one hand before another and grinned, “I'm sorry for their rudeness. I assume it's your first time here, right? But I saw you walking out of Mr. Yu's car, and that makes us friends.”

Xiao Bing was not surprised. There were few who didn't know Yu Wenhua's car and fewer still who dared to ignore it. So it was reasonable for him to be so respectful.

Xiao Bing would not be so polite since this Mr. Lu didn't know his identity. He nodded and shot this man a glance. Then he said, “I just want to have some fun here. It's the first time I have come here. I was told that you have everything here.”

Mr. Lu put on a mysterious smile, “Yes. Sorry, I haven't properly introduced myself. My name is Lu Yuanlong and I'm in charge of this place. And may I know your name. Since you are Mr. Yu's friend, I can give you a pass for free. But I need your name first.”

Xiao Bing thought of mentioning his own name, but then he changed his mind and said, “My name is Long Jun.”

Because Xiao Bing was called the Dragon Master both in Jingdu and the Dark World, sometimes he would call himself Long Jun.

“Just call me the Dragon Master.” Xiao Bing added.

“It's a pleasure to meet you, Dragon Master.” Lu Yuanlong searched for this name in his mind, but he found nothing. Yet the smile was still on his face, “Dragon Master, are you in the mood for a few rounds?”

“Of course.”

“Then you have come to the right place. You won't find another place like this in Harbin. This is the only casino in the capital city. Shall I take you there now?”

“Okay.” Xiao Bing quietly followed the steward into a small room near the hall. Mr. Lu gently knocked on a wall twice and then it opened, revealing a tunnel.

Trailing behind the steward, Xiao Bing asked in a calm voice, “How did you manage to open a casino here? The government doesn't care?”

The steward turned around and smiled eerily, “In this world, there are places that are beyond the government's jurisdiction. Don't you agree, Dragon Master?”

Xiao Bing nodded and didn't say anything, because this man was right. Indeed there were places in this world that were beyond the government's reach. But most of them were usually under the protection of certain powerful organizations. Xiao Bing came here to have fun, not to cause trouble. So he stopped asking.

It was a whole new world down the passage. The sounds of mahjong, cards, and dices kept jangling in Xiao Bing's ears. Men and women surrounded one table after another, having fun. In the meantime, the servant girls clad in midriff-baring tops shuttled back and forth in the crowd while holding trays of a variety of drinks. Some girls could not help casting Xiao Bing an extra glance when he passed by them. There were many young and rich players here, but few could have Mr. Lu in their company.

He called a servant over and said something to him. Soon, the servant fetched Xiao Bing a VIP Card and some chips. Xiao Bing took them without looking too carefully at them. Xiao Bing knew that the more he behaved like this, the more importance this man would attach to him. Though Xiao Bing was here merely to have fun, he didn't want his identity to be exposed or suspected.

Xiao Bing looked at this man and said, “Mr. Lu, you don't have to accompany me anymore. I will just walk around.”

“Okay.” The steward was still smiling. “The balance of your card is zero. Normally to get a VIP card one needs to transfer 500 thousand into it. The chips in your hand are worth 100 thousand. If you lose them all, you can just ask a servant to take you to buy more chips with cash or card. I'll leave you then. I hope you can go home with fruitful results.”

“Okay.” Xiao Bing nodded smilingly. “I can help myself.”

Xiao Bing felt a lot more relaxed after the steward left. Though he may look imposing to have a sidekick, sometimes the fun would be spoiled. Then he walked to the tables with the chips.

Sitting straight on the sofa, Master Xu was looking at the big screen in front of him. In the screen Xiao Bing seemed to be looking for a table. A sudden knock on the door drifted into his ears. “Come in.”

Lu Yuanlong walked in. Master Xu asked, “So have you found out who he is?”

“He said his name was Long Jun.”

“Long Jun?” Master Xu frowned, trying to find something that might have anything to do with this name. Then he shook his head, “You know Hei Province better than me. Is there any prominent family named Long in Hei Province?”

Lu Yuanlong shook his head, “No, I haven't heard.”

“Isn't it strange? Because there is no such family in Jingdu. This means he is neither from Hei Province nor Jingdu. But he might be a young master of other prominent families. Otherwise, Yu Wenhua would not have sent him here for nothing. We barely have anything to do with this man.”

Lu Yuanlong grinned, “Actually no matter who he is, it's not necessary for us to waste time on it. You are a powerful man, Master Xu. You don't need to understand Yu Wenhua's purpose.”

Flattery came easily to this slick man.

There was a hint of pride on Master Xu's face. But then he shook his head. “It's too absolute. Though I came from Jingdu, Yu Wenhua is still the governor of this city. He holds great power in Hei Province. We have opened this casino for quite a long time. Though Yu Wenhua dares not shut this place down, it's not a good thing to aggravate him seeing he's a local. There are deeper reasons behind it. We need to keep a good relationship with him. But he's a decent man who isn't so interested in the likes of us. Maybe this Long Jun is a chance for us.”

Xiao Bing came only because he wanted to have some fun before the war began. Yet he had not expected this trip to draw unnecessary attention on him.
