King of Gamblers: Growing from a Student to a Jade King

Chapter 50: Chaos

Old fox, cunning and scheming.

Regarding Boss Wei's generosity, I can only say this: no one is kind to others for no reason, and Boss Wei is no exception. However, his actions are so skillful that they are unexpected and not off-putting or repulsive.

I took a sip of my drink and sat on the sofa, but to be honest, my gaze has never left that pile of money. It's so captivating. How many people have fought their whole lives for this amount of money?How many people can actually succeed?

One day, a stone, a group of people becoming rich, one person losing their life—this is the allure of gambling with stones. People know it's terrifying, yet they still get deeply involved.

Crazy people buy, crazy people sell, and there are still crazy people waiting...

Boss Wei said, "Brother Guang, how should we divide this money? You decide."”

Qian Guang smiled, sat next to me, looked at me first, and said, "Zhao Fei, how much do you think you should get from this money?"

After I heard that, my mouth went dry. I looked at Qian Guang and couldn't believe he actually wanted me to take it. Of course, I wanted to take it all, but it was impossible. One must have self-awareness; the more strength you have, the more money you can have.

I swallowed hard and said, "I only have forty thousand yuan on me. If we divide it proportionally, my share would only amount to one hundred and twenty thousand..."

Boss Wei was a bit angry and said, "Brother Zhao Fei, your contribution is the greatest. Without you, Fat Pig Zhu wouldn't have been able to join the game. I think we should split it evenly."

Although I was very tempted, I refused. I said, "No, that doesn't belong to me. I only take what belongs to me."

My words are very firm. Although ten million is a huge temptation for me, I can't take it. This is money earned without a clear conscience, it's like sucking someone else's blood. Although I, Zhao Fei, am greedy for money, I really can't take this money. I can only take what belongs to me.

Qian Guang looked at me, patted my shoulder, and said, "Brother, in our line of work, we only value loyalty, not conscience. Have you forgotten how Fat Pig Zhu treated you?"A gentleman takes revenge by cutting the roots. Trust me, if he doesn't die, he will rise again. Your relatives and friends, he will definitely not spare them. Xiaomi is the best example. He will torment you bit by bit, making you wish for death. People like him are the most insidious, cunning, and malicious. So, getting rid of him is to eliminate a threat to the people. What are you afraid of? What burden are you carrying?

I looked at Qian Guang, and he spoke very harshly. I knew he was a bit angry, but I said, "Brother Guang, I just want the money I deserve, one million two hundred thousand..."

Qian Guang stared at me, let out a long sigh, and said, "Alright, I understand, Lao Wu, put it on."

Qian Laowu prepared a bag, put 1.2 million in it, and said, "Brother, the boss treats you like a brother. If you don't want it, don't blame the boss for not giving it to you."

I nodded, carrying the money, which felt very heavy. I smiled happily for a moment. Finally, I had earned my first million in life. Although it was bloody and cruel, it was what I deserved. I have no regrets and no burdens.

Boss Wei laughed and said, "Brother Zhao Fei's character is indeed admirable and trustworthy. By the way, Brother Guang, my stock is already depleted. I'm planning to make a trip to Myanmar to bring in a new batch of goods. You all should come along. We'll be playing the most thrilling and exciting stone gambling."

Finally, the key topic has arrived. I knew Boss Wei wouldn't just give away thirty-five million for nothing; he must be waiting behind the scenes.

Qian Guang smiled and said, "Of course, I've wanted to go to Myanmar for a long time, but I never had the chance. Having Boss Wei as a guide is just perfect. However, even among close brothers, we need to be clear about money matters. You're in business, and I'm here for fun, so we should agree on how to split the costs."

Boss Wei chuckled and said, "Let's stick to the profit-sharing by shares. I'm a fair person and believe in speaking based on ability. However, since Brother Zhao Fei is capable, I think we should give him a free share. If he loses, he doesn't have to put in any money, and if he wins, he gets a share. How does that sound?"

This decision, although very beneficial for me, also confines me, so I can't accept it. I said, "No need, take as much as you can based on your abilities. I, Zhao Fei, understand. No need to take care of me."

My aloofness has given Boss Wei a headache, but Qian Guang is quite pleased. Although he hasn't said it out loud, he knows that I am deliberately avoiding Boss Wei's favors, which is something he is happy to see. I know he wants to control me, even though he hasn't said it out loud, but that's how he feels inside. So, I keep my distance from Boss Wei. I know who I am dealing with, so I know whose favors I should accept and whose I should

"Boss Wei, my brother is right. Earning money with our skills is the only way to feel justified. Let's settle it this way, cheers..." Qian Guang said.

Although Boss Wei felt a bit regretful, he still raised his glass and clinked it with ours. Suddenly, at that moment, someone came in and said, "Brother Guang, there are a lot of people outside. Chen Xi and Liu Qiang want to see you. They've surrounded our shop."

Qian Guang stood up, pinched his nose, and said, "Got it, you go ahead, I'll be there soon."

Boss Wei stood up and said, "Brother Guang, you have something to do, so I won't disturb you. I've already counted your share of the money, we'll split it evenly, and I'll take the rest."

Qian Guang nodded and said, "Zhuzi, Lao Wu, let's go..."

I watched the three of them leave, then sat on the sofa and watched Boss Wei call a few people in to start dividing the money. I just sat there watching, those stacks of money looked like paper, dazzling me. When will I ever earn these thirty million? With these thirty million, my life would be different.

The noise outside made the people inside a bit uneasy, and the screams had already broken through the soundproof door. At that moment, I saw two black men come in with guns and say, "Boss Wei, there's a fight outside, we can't leave for now."

Boss Wei frowned and said, "Seal the door, no one is allowed to come in."

A few people immediately loaded their guns, and I watched, a bit scared. Boss Wei said, "Don't be afraid, Brother Zhao Fei. Chen Xi and Liu Qiang came here before. They are only looking for money because of the Fat Pig Zhu incident. They have no evidence. Even if they do hit us, it will just be their underlings. We won't be in any trouble."

I nodded, and Boss Wei didn't say anything more. Instead, he packed the money into the box and sealed it. Outside, things were occasionally being thrown in. I saw people deliberately rushing towards our booth, probably for the money, but there were four or five armed men standing at the entrance, and they didn't dare to come in.

I stood at the door, looking outside, and I was a bit surprised. There were people everywhere, fighting fiercely, smashing the store's items into a complete mess. It was very brutal. I've only seen scenes like this on TV, but this was the first time I witnessed it in real life. However, I have to say it was very exhilarating.

I don't know how long we had been fighting, but we both stopped when the police arrived. At that moment, I saw Zhuzi walk in, his hands covered in blood. Zhuzi said, "Boss Wei, let's go out the back door. The police are here, to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings."

Boss Wei nodded, and a few people lifted the boxes and followed Zhuzi out. The private room instantly fell silent. I sat on the sofa, had a drink, and Wang Gui leaned against the door, saying, "Brother Fei, aren't you leaving?"

I nodded, stood up with the money, and followed Zhuzi out through the back door. Behind us was an alley. After we got out, Zhuzi shoved me into a car and said, "Go hide at Xiao Mi's place for a while. Wait for Brother Guang to notify you. Don't wander around. There are many people outside looking for you. Chen Xi and Liu Qiang are different from Fat Pig Zhu. If they catch you, they will take your life. They believe we took Fat

I nodded, and the driver drove away. I looked at Zhuzi's stout and tall figure; he really looked imposing. Such a person is quite terrifying—capable in both literature and martial arts, able to kill. More importantly, he is also extremely loyal.

The car left the bar, and I watched as many police cars came rushing in. It must be that the bar fight caused quite a commotion, but it doesn't matter, it has nothing to do with me. I don't have to worry; everything will be handled by Qian Guang.

The car arrived at the community where Xiao Mi lived. We got out of the car, and I took out a thick stack of money from the bag and handed it to Wang Gui, probably around 100,000. I said, "Take it and spend it, but save some for later..."

Wang Gui laughed, nodded earnestly, and said, "Then Fei Ge, you..."

"Don't worry about me, wait for my call..." I said, and after finishing, I gave Wang Gui a heavy pat on the shoulder, then went upstairs to find Xiao Mi.

I walked up the dimly lit stairs and arrived at Xiao Mi's door. I knocked heavily, and the door opened. I saw Xiao Mi in her tight-fitting clothes and walked in. She looked at me strangely. I dropped the bag on the floor, sat heavily on the sofa, and recalled today's events. They felt like fleeting smoke, like a dream.

Xiao Mi squatted on the ground, opened the bag, and after a few seconds of silence, she looked at me in disbelief and said, "How much?"

I looked at Xiao Mi's shocked face and said, "About one million or so."

She stood up, took out the money, and scattered it wildly. I watched as a banknote flew through the air and landed on my face. A million really is a lot; it was about to drown me. This feeling made my heart race, and I was very excited.

Xiao Mi said, "You did it, you finally did it. I believe we will succeed, we will definitely surpass Qian Guang, yes."

I looked at her, feeling really down inside, and said, "Someone died today, not something I wanted to see. I just watched as they were thrown off the building, you know?"When a person turns into a pile of meat, it's really terrifying, really terrifying..."

Xiao Mi squatted down, cupped my face, and said, "Fat Pig Zhu? You pity him? Does he deserve pity?"If I really were your girlfriend, wouldn't what he did to me that night be worth killing him for?Zhao Fei, those who come out to mix will eventually pay the price, this is his retribution.

I looked at Xiao Mi and said, "But I can't be happy..."

Xiao Mi smiled, biting her lip, and said, "I will make you happy..."
