Chapter 148 Play a few more games
In the lobby of Jubao Casino, after the silence, there was an ear-splitting noise.

The gamblers around the poker table all stared at Xiao Ran with red eyes, wishing to replace Xiao Ran immediately.

What kind of wealth is 50 gold coins?
It can be said that even for the most powerful families in Zimu City, it is difficult to gather 50 gold coins or the equivalent primordial stones in a short period of time.

"This luck, I don't know what to say."

"He is also very courageous. He actually dared to bet 50 gold coins in one game, and he even won."

"Jubao Casino, it's going to be a disaster this time. If you pay 50 gold coins, shopkeeper Hou will probably feel distressed for a long time."

"Hmph, it's just luck. The first time he bet a gold coin, he lost, but the second time he won, it was pure luck."

"No matter if the luck is good or bad, I have to say that he is really courageous. If it were us, even if we had so many gold coins, we would not dare to bet like this." There were envious discussions all around.

The croupier opposite Xiao Ran had weak legs.

"Master Hou, should you give me the gold coins I won?" Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes and looked at Hou Jie.

Hou Jie gritted his teeth with a gloomy face.

The 50 gold coins must be taken out by Jubao Casino. With so many people watching, it is impossible to renege on the debt.If it really reneges on the debt, then the reputation of Jubao Casino will be completely ruined, and there will be no way to continue operating in Zimu City in the future.

"Brother Xiao is really lucky! 50 gold coins, my Jubao Casino will definitely pay. However, this is a very large number, please give me some time to prepare." Hou Jie suppressed the emotion in his heart Annoyed, he said to Xiao Ran.

"No problem, then I'll wait here." Xiao Ran waved his hands and said nonchalantly.

Hou Jie left the hall and walked up the stairs.

He was meeting his father, who was also the big shopkeeper of Jubao Casino.

50 gold coins is really too much, even his young boss can't take out so many gold coins directly from the gambling house's treasury.Moreover, this matter is of great importance, and father must be informed as soon as possible.

"Is there something wrong?" Hou Jie's father, Hou Zhan, who was sitting in a room on the top floor of the casino, asked naturally when he saw Hou Jie coming in.

"Father, something happened down here..." Hou Jie told what happened.

"A bet of 50 gold coins in a game?" Hou Zhan stood up, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Hou Jie, did this person use some kind of cheating method?" Hou Zhan asked with a quick frown.

"Father, I didn't find out that he used other means to cheat. And he gambled two rounds, and he lost the first round. It's just that he only bet one gold coin in the first round. He said at the time, warm up first." Hou Jie shook his head.

Xiao Ran did cheat. He used his vitality to check the points of the dominoes to determine the size.As for Hou Jie, it was impossible for him to discover Xiao Ran's method.Not to mention Hou Jie, even if Hou Zhan himself was at the scene, it is unlikely to discover Xiao Ran's methods.With the subtlety of Xiao Ran's manipulation of vitality, unless the opponent is a strong person beyond the innate realm, it is possible to detect the fluctuation of vitality controlled by Xiao Ran.

"Well, I'll go down and see for myself!" Hou Zhan nodded and continued, "Go to the vault and get 50 gold coins out."

"Father, do we really want to pay this kid 50 gold coins?" Hou Jie frowned.

"Can we renege on our debts? If we really renege on our debts, the news will spread throughout Zimu City without waiting until tomorrow. In the future, can our Jubao Casino continue to operate?" Hou Zhan glared at Hou Jie.

Hou Zhan came to the lobby of the casino, while Hou Jie first went to the vault of the casino, and after withdrawing the gold card of 50 gold coins, he also returned to the lobby of the casino.

"Little friend, you're lucky!" Hou Zhan said with a smile to Xiao Ran when he arrived near the poker table.

Although he had never met Xiao Ran before, he had already heard from Hou Jie that Xiao Ran came with Rui Qi.Hou Zhan knew Rui Qi, and now Xiao Ran was sitting next to Rui Qi, so he naturally knew who was the one who won 50 gold coins in his gambling house.

"Your Excellency?" Xiao Ran looked at Hou Zhan.

He guessed that Hou Zhan was Hou Jie's father, that is, the big shopkeeper of the gambling house, and deliberately asked Hou Zhan's identity.

"I'm Hou Zhan, the shopkeeper of Jubao Casino." Hou Zhan introduced himself to Xiao Ran.

After Hou Zhan came to the hall, the gamblers' discussions became very quiet.Hou Zhan's prestige is very bluffing.Everyone knew that Hou Zhan was definitely not someone to be trifled with in Zimu City.Of course, without some means, it is impossible to run Jubao Casino in Zimu City, and make the casino the largest in Zimu City.

Hou Zhan himself is a martial artist in the innate realm, and has connections with many important figures in Zimu City.

"So it's the shopkeeper's." Xiao Ran cupped his hands.

"Hehe, you don't have to be polite, little friend." Hou Zhan smiled, then looked at Hou Jie and said, "Hou Jie!"

Hou Jie knew what his father meant, so he stepped forward, took out five gold cards, and put them in front of Xiao Ran.Then, he took out another gold coin and placed it on top of the five gold cards. Another 50 gold coins, not a lot.

"Jubao Gambling House is the largest gambling house in Zimu City. There is absolutely no problem with our reputation. We are not afraid of you winning money here. As much as you can win, we will definitely pay the full amount. Even if It is your ability to win the entire gambling house, and I, Hou Zhan, am willing to admit defeat." Hou Zhan looked around the audience and said loudly.

These words brought him a lot of praise.

In running a casino, reputation is indeed the most important thing.If you have a bad reputation, who would dare to come to your casino?
"I heard Rui Qi say that Jubao Casino has an excellent reputation, but now it seems that it is true. Shopkeeper Hou, thank you very much!" Xiao Ran said with a slight smile.

"Little friend Xiao Ran, you have already won 50 gold coins. Then, do you plan to continue playing a few games, or leave now?" Hou Zhan asked Xiao Ran.

He was testing Xiao Ran.

The casino just admired the 50 gold coins, of course he didn't want to watch Xiao Ran leave the casino with the gold coins.What he hopes is that Xiao Ran will continue to play and lose all the gold coins he won, preferably with Xiao Ran's own capital.But if Xiao Ran decides not to continue gambling, he can't force Xiao Ran to continue gambling.

"I have already won 50 gold coins, which is not a small amount." Xiao Ran pondered.

"Mr. Xiao Ran, how about today?" Rui Qi said nervously in a low voice, he had never seen so many gold cards put together.

Rui Qi was also afraid that Xiao Ran would not be able to keep it, so he sent back the gold coin he got.Xiao Ran was lucky and won a large sum of gold coins, but if he continued to gamble, his luck would not last forever.

Hou Zhan squinted his eyes, looked at Xiao Ran, and waited for Xiao Ran to make a decision.

"However, it's still a bit disappointing! Now that you're here, you have to have fun! Besides, 50 gold coins is not a small amount, but it's not a lot to me. Well, if shopkeeper Hou doesn't object, then I will continue to play a few more." Xiao Ran said with a smile.
