Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

Everyone then regained an objective understanding of the size and luxury of the "Yamal". The dangers and rules of this ship must be beyond the human society in which ordinary people exist. From the guests to the captain, they are all a group of lawless criminals.

"At that time, the whole ship was lit up with red lights. I was in the captain's room on the eleventh floor and could hear the guests on the deck yelling words like 'God', 'Gosh' and 'Crazy'. They probably rarely saw such a huge gambling game." Chu Tianjiao recalled, "An electronic screen rose outside the window. On the huge screen, red and blue characters were written with two billion respectively, in $. I looked out the window and saw that the guests were shocked. Although the casinos outside can gamble up to millions of dollars, how many people have seen such a huge number with their own eyes?"

Yes, you can feel the shock just by imagining it. The zeros following those two numbers are enough to make people dizzy. Not to mention the parties sitting on both sides of the gambling table, even those gamblers on the boat, how exciting and passionate would it be to witness such a legendary gambling game with their own eyes?

"The dealer carefully dealt out two hole cards, a total of four cards. Vincent placed his right hand on the two cards and took deep breaths repeatedly. I was handcuffed, so I just leaned back in my chair and looked at him with a smile." Chu Tianjiao said, "I know that everyone on the boat must be paying attention to this game at this moment, because the electronic screen outside showed the hole cards of both parties being dealt out synchronously. I could hear people shouting and taking deep breaths. When Vincent and I's bottom bets totaling 20 million were thrown into the gambling pool, the shouting outside the window was like fans watching their favorite team win the World Cup championship."

"You don't sound too nervous." Chu Zihang looked at the man again.

Even Chu Zihang himself would find it difficult to remain completely calm in such a gambling game, but from Chu Tianjiao's description, he seemed to have not considered his win or loss at all, as if if he made a mistake, he would only lose a few coins or a dinner, rather than a huge sum of 10 billion US dollars and his own life and property.

"The old guy across from me should be the one who should be nervous. He looks quite shocked, but I know he's just pretending to be calm." Chu Tianjiao smiled. "Vincent looked at me and said that Texas Hold'em is actually his forte. He's also good at blackjack and bullfighting. I said it's really unfortunate. I don't play these three games very often, especially Texas Hold'em. I'm actually best at Landlords."

"I don't know whether the old man believes it or not, but I'm telling the truth and I didn't frame him. Vincent said he would give me a chance to regret it. If I admit defeat, whether it's 1 billion or 2 billion US dollars in gambling debts, they can all be written off, and the 50 million I won on the ship before can also belong to me. But in return, I have to work on his ship for ten years. If you think ten years is too long, five years is also fine, but I want to be his slave wholeheartedly for these five years." Chu Tianjiao rolled his eyes. "The old guy has a good idea. He said I'm still young, and five or ten years are nothing to me. I was still young when I got off the ship, and I didn't waste my time on the ship. There was nothing missing on the ship, including delicious food, fine wine and women. He said I would definitely learn a lot, but I shook my head and said I refused, and I wouldn't make him such an offer, because the old guy is almost dead, and I don't need such an old and ugly slave. The beauties around him look pretty good."

Even Chu Zihang couldn't help but roll his eyes. Vincent was asking for trouble. The old man might be serious, but Chu Tianjiao's random words could make him angry to death.

"The old guy was very angry. He said, 'I won't take the road to heaven. Now I'll have to experience hell.'" Chu Tianjiao said, "At this time, the dealer had dealt all the public cards. The old guy asked me if I dared to not look at the cards first and follow his blind bet. I asked the old guy how much the blind bet was, and he said 200 million US dollars. I smiled and said that was boring. I'll go all in."

"All in!" everyone in the room said in surprise, "All in during the blind phase!"

"Yes, one billion US dollars. I went all in at once. There was no need to look at the hole cards because they were determined after all the hole cards and the public cards were dealt. Unlike Schrödinger's cat, whether you bet one billion now or after the last public card was turned over, there is only one result. From the beginning, the outcome of this game was determined." Chu Tianjiao said in a deep voice, "Of course, the guests on the deck reacted more violently than you. I could see the girls hiding in the arms of their male companions, their whole bodies trembling, and the men's faces flushed with excitement, their hands tightly pinching their female companions' thighs or chests. Everyone said I was crazy because I was betting with the entire ship, and it was a blind bet of a billion. But they were jealous of me because they didn't have the ability and financial resources to play such a thrilling and exciting game."

"What was Vincent's reaction?" Chu Zihang asked.

"The old guy was also scared. His hand under the table pinched the dealer's thigh fiercely. I felt that the woman's thigh flesh was about to be pinched off, but I have to admire her psychological quality. The expression on her face did not change at all." Chu Tianjiao said, "The old guy stared at my face and tentatively asked me if I was serious. I nodded frankly. Suddenly, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. It was a smile of success, as if he was the hunter and I was the prey. At this moment, I finally fell into the trap he had been preparing for."

Chapter 1068 Hearts "2"

"Did he tamper with the cards?" Chu Zihang asked sharply.

"This is inevitable. You don't need to think about it to know that with a bet of billions, the old man must guarantee his victory. He must be 100% sure. He must be a wise man with a thousand considerations and be absolutely sure." Chu Tianjiao nodded and said, "I think the dealer who has been following him has been studying this technique since he was a child. Vincent must have chosen the most talented child back then. The fact that she can appear at his private gambling table shows that this girl has mastered the art of cheating to perfection."

"So have you ever thought about what you would do if you lose this round?" Chu Zihang asked Chu Tianjiao.

“If it really comes to the last step, I can only overturn the entire ‘yamal’ ship, because I knew from the beginning that if old guy Vincent loses, he has no intention of letting me leave this ship.” Chu Tianjiao suddenly smiled confidently, “But I will not lose this bet. Of course, old guy Vincent also thinks he will not lose. The winner takes all, and the loser eats dust.”

It looks like a gambling game, but in fact it is like the most primitive fight between wild beasts. Vincent is a cunning old fox. He has set a deadly trap in his territory, waiting for Chu Tianjiao to jump in. Chu Tianjiao is a brave and fearless lone wolf. He possesses extremely powerful ability and confidence, and can tear Vincent and all his conspiracies to pieces.

The two beasts even skipped the biting stage, they just wanted to swallow each other in one bite!

"Neither of us revealed our own hole cards. Although this was against the rules, we put all our chips on the table at once. It was obviously more interesting to start with the public cards, and we both agreed." Chu Tianjiao paused and said, "But before the dealer was about to reveal the first public card, I asked Vincent a question."

"What's the problem?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

"I looked at the old guy and asked him sincerely if we needed to exchange our cards," said Chu Tianjiao.

Lu Mingfei was stunned, Chu Zihang frowned slightly, and Nuo Nuo lowered her head in thought. No one knew what Chu Tianjiao meant by this action.

"Do you think that the dealer dealt the bigger cards to Vincent's side?" Caesar asked Chu Tianjiao.

"No, on the contrary, the bigger cards must be on my side." Chu Tianjiao sighed and said, "I know better than anyone that the outcome of this game has been determined from the beginning, so I made this suggestion. Who would like to play a game where the outcome is already known? I asked Vincent this just to increase the excitement of the game, and I also gave him a chance, so that the old guy wouldn't lose everything in the end and get mad and throw a tantrum at me."

Chu Tianjiao's thoughts were really hard to figure out. He said he asked this question to increase the excitement of the game and give Vincent a chance, but what if Vincent really chose to swap? Or in another situation, if Chu Tianjiao was the final winner, and Chu Tianjiao gave Vincent a chance but he didn't take it, wouldn't the old man be more likely to get mad?

There is only one explanation. Chu Tianjiao's desire to win is no longer at the gambling table. His level has long surpassed this card game. Playing with money to win or lose is meaningless to Chu Tianjiao. What he finds interesting is playing with human nature.

"Vincent probably didn't agree, right?" Chu Zihang asked Chu Tianjiao.

"Yes, before that the old guy hesitated for a while, he kept staring at me, he was looking into my eyes, trying to catch the meaning of my action from my eyes, finally Vincent's eyes fell on the dealer, I saw him exchange glances with the dealer, they were very tacit, and the hesitation in Vincent's eyes was dispelled a lot." Chu Tianjiao nodded and said, "Vincent asked me if I was so afraid of losing. If I was afraid of losing, I might as well accept his proposal and work on his ship for five years to pay off the 1 billion debt. I said you thought too much, I was afraid that you, old guy, would lose too badly and be forced to jump into the sea if you couldn't pay off the 10 billion. Anyway, I gave you the opportunity, it's up to you whether you want to seize it yourself."

"Vincent's patience seemed to have worn out. He rejected my proposal outright and told the dealer that we could start turning over the public cards." Chu Tianjiao said, "I shrugged my shoulders and could only say in my heart that this old guy was really ignorant and didn't know how to take advantage of the opportunity. I could imagine how he would cry and beat his chest when he lost the game."

"The first public card is 'Q', the Queen of Spades." Chu Tianjiao said.

"It's a very big card, and it can be combined in many ways." Chu Zihang nodded.

"The second card is a spade 'J', a very appropriate card. I can see that Vincent's sunken old eyes seem to be shining." Chu Tianjiao said, "The third card is a 'Q' again, a red 'Q' of hearts."

When Chu Tianjiao said this, Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang exchanged glances silently, and they both smelled a hint of conspiracy.

"The fourth public card is 'J', a red heart 'J'." Chu Tianjiao was interrupted by Nuonuo when he said this.

"Wait a minute, this is too obvious, isn't it?" Nono frowned and said, "Four cards in a row, a pair of 'Q's, a pair of 'J's, how can there be such a coincidence? Is Vincent trying to take revenge on you with the 'Full House' you used to defeat him with before?"

"Not necessarily." Chu Tianjiao shrugged.

"But the cards on the table are already big, two pairs. If your remaining cards can't be bigger than the community cards, wouldn't Vincent still be the winner if they were the same size? Vincent is the banker, so his cards are definitely bigger than the player's," Nono said. "It was so obvious he was cheating, why didn't you expose him right then and there?"

"There is an unspoken rule in the casino that cheating is actually allowed, as long as it is done without anyone noticing, and it is either exposed on the spot or evidence is produced. This is someone else's territory, where would I get evidence?" Chu Tianjiao smiled at Nuo Nuo, "But don't worry, this is just a public card, don't we still have our own cards? They have their methods, I have mine, and I am confident in my own cards."

"Before the fifth community card was revealed, Vincent interrupted the dealer and suggested that he and I show our hole cards first. I had no objection." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent revealed his two hole cards, a spade 'A' and a spade 'K'. I also revealed mine, a heart 'A' and a heart 'K'."

Exactly the same cards, and this time the result once again surprised everyone.

"Not 'Full House'." Chu Zihang whispered, "Vincent wants 'Royal Flush'."

A Royal Flush is the biggest and most powerful card in Texas Hold'em. It consists of the largest straight of the same suit. The probability of encountering it in a normal card cut and deal is extremely rare.

It turns out that this is Vincent's ambition. His desire for revenge is even stronger than imagined. This is the final round. He does not want to use "Full House" to beat Chu Tianjiao, but wants to use the invincible "Royal Flush" in Texas Hold'em to win this great but not glorious victory.

Everything depends on the last public card, which determines who will get the final prize of the 10 billion gambling money. If the last public card is the "" of spades, Vincent will lock in the victory of the final round. His hand and the public cards will form a "royal flush" of spades, and Chu Tianjiao will absolutely have no chance of turning the tables.

And it doesn't matter even if the dealer makes a mistake this time, because except for the suit, Vincent's hand is exactly the same as Chu Tianjiao's. As long as the last public card is a card other than hearts, Vincent can perfectly lock in the victory of this game... Under the watchful eyes of gamblers, it may be a little difficult to accurately cut the spade "10" to a certain card, but to ensure that the next card is not a heart is too easy. Not to mention the dealers who have been trained in cheating since childhood, even the apprentice dealers in ordinary casinos can do it easily.

"'You know, spades are my favorite suit because it's the largest of the four suits. It's an upside-down black heart. What a charming design.'... Vincent told me this in an almost perverted tone, holding his trump card in his hand." Chu Tianjiao imitated the old man's perverted tone perfectly. "I said I don't feel anything for it. In comparison, I think the heart is better because it looks alive and beating."

"Vincent scoffed at what I said, because he likes things that come first, but hearts are only second in the suits of card games, and he doesn't like fresh things. I think it's because of jealousy, because he is a decadent old guy." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent stared at me and asked if he thought the last card would be '10' of spades or '10' of hearts. I pretended to be surprised and asked the old guy how he could be so sure that the last card must be '10'. The old guy waved his hands impatiently and said that there was no need for anyone to continue the show at this point. He just asked the dealer to tamper with the cards. He was cheating, but I had no evidence and no one would know. The guests on the deck could only know the direction of the game through the big screen. Apart from that, they had no idea what happened in this room. I was sure to lose this bet, and he would not let me leave this ship."

"But what the old man doesn't know is that I have seen through their tricks. During this round of the dealer shuffling the cards, she secretly shuffled nine cards and covered the top of the deck with new nine cards, and then repeatedly 'fake shuffled'." Chu Tianjiao said, "This is not a very advanced skill, but her advantage is that her method is concealed and her hand speed is very fast, faster than the world's top magicians, so it is almost impossible for ordinary people to detect it. Even if she is caught on the spot, she has many ways to get away with it."

"Those nine cards are the four hole cards of you and Vincent, and the five community cards on the table." Chu Zihang nodded and said, "So under Vincent's instruction and the dealer's manipulation, the last card must be the '10' of spades. This should be their usual tactic. If it weren't for you and Vincent breaking the rules and showing your hole cards first, other gamblers would not have known Vincent's hole cards. Because of the gambler's psychology, they thought their cards were infinitely close to the 'Royal Flush', so they took a gamble in the last round, placed an unprecedented bet, and then lost miserably."

"Yes, their methods are very common, even old-fashioned, but they are perfectly in line with human nature." Chu Tianjiao nodded and said, "And they won't give anyone the opportunity to expose their scam. I guess those who have entered Vincent's room have all lost everything. When people are hit hard and extremely angry, they will do some violent actions beyond common sense. This just gives Vincent a reason to get rid of them. The eleventh floor of this ship is like an attractive snake nest. Its exterior is decorated with countless gold, silver and wealth. When you are attracted by its glitz and go deeper step by step, you are also entangled by the snakes little by little. When you come to your senses, you are no longer able to break free or resist. That will be the moment you bury the snake mouth."

"That's a very apt description." Chu Zihang nodded. He looked at Chu Tianjiao and said meaningfully, "But even the largest python in the world has something it can't swallow."

"Yes, no matter how cunning and vicious Vincent is, there are always people in this world that he cannot calculate." Chu Tianjiao said with his back against the wall, "The dealer turned over the last card, and everyone was silent. The room was shrouded in deathly silence. As the number and suit of the card were projected on the big screen outside, the silence outside the boat became terrifying. I could even hear the ethereal singing of whales in the distant sea. Other than that, there was only the increasingly heavy breathing and heartbeat."

"The rapid breathing and heartbeats come from Vincent, because he is frightened." Chu Tianjiao produced a gold-plated card from nowhere, and after turning it over a few times with his fingertips, the card fell in front of everyone, "The dealer turned over the last public card, which is a red heart '2'."

The red heart "2", everyone in the room stared at the thin, old card... It was the smallest card in Texas Hold'em, but surprisingly, there was a vivid, beating red heart printed on the corner of it.

The last card was not the "10" of spades, but the "2" of hearts. From beginning to end, no one could make a "royal flush"... How ironic, Chu Tianjiao used the smallest and most inconspicuous red "2" to play a trick on Vincent, the old fox.

"You don't know how lively it was. It was the loudest cheer I've ever heard in my life. The entire ship, from the first floor to the tenth floor, everyone was cheering, men and women, even the waiters in the casino were cheering. They were Vincent's men, but no one cared that their captain lost 1 billion in one breath." Chu Tianjiao said with a smile, "The huge electronic screen was broadcasting colorful fireworks, and they landed on the side that symbolizes me."

Chapter 1069 Deterrence

Chu Tianjiao won. This was a card game involving 2 billion yuan. When the result came out, it would inevitably cause a huge shock on the entire "Yamal"... But compared to the guests' reactions, Lu Mingfei and the others were more curious about Vincent's reaction.

"How can I describe old man Vincent's reaction?" Chu Tianjiao thought for a moment, looked at everyone and asked, "Have you ever seen... a dog that was beaten all over and then had its dog bowl kicked over?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, because Chu Tianjiao's metaphor was really... too down-to-earth. None of them had ever done such a wicked thing as beating up a dog and then kicking over the dog bowl.

Not even Finger could do such a thing.

"It was a physical and mental blow. I could see Vincent's face turned pale, like a corpse that had been soaked in water for hours. Then his facial features began to tremble, and the flesh that had drooped due to excessive aging was crumbling. Then his whole body was shaking, or to be more precise, trembling wildly, like a shaking sieve. The pale expression on his face gradually turned red, and then his entire wrinkled old face turned extremely red. His body curled up at the table like a cooked prawn." Chu Tianjiao was very excited when he talked about this part. "I saw something black and red, sticky, sprayed on the table in front of me. Do you know what it was? It was blood. The old guy was so angry that he vomited blood. Oh my God, his blood also exuded a foul smell of corruption!"

Everyone was silent. Losing 2 billion US dollars in one breath would make anyone vomit blood, let alone Vincent who thought he was sure to win this gamble... He clearly had the right time, place and people, but still lost. He lost in an unclear way and was defeated by Chu Tianjiao with the most ridiculous and humiliating red heart "".

The huge contrast between the before and after is enough to imagine how insulted and devastated the old guy must have felt. It would have been okay if he just vomited blood. There are indeed cases in history where people died of anger after losing too much in a game of gambling.

"Vincent won't let you go." Chu Zihang said to Chu Tianjiao.

"Of course, there are all kinds of stuff on the old guy's ship, and he himself can't be a good man." Chu Tianjiao said, "I noticed the moment the last card was turned over. The dealer next to the old guy was stunned for less than three seconds, and her hand reached under her skirt. I guess there was either a knife or a gun hidden there. And those white-skinned beauties in Christmas uniforms, when they saw Vincent vomiting blood, they were shocked at first, and then their eyes changed in an instant, sharp and full of murderous intent. Sasha and other sailors, or mercenaries, locked the room immediately. In addition to the golden nanmu door, there was also a King Kong code door in the room. It seems that they are determined not to let me walk out of this room with 2 billion US dollars."

“This kind of scene should not be a big deal to you.” Chu Zihang said. After all, he had seen Chu Tianjiao pounce on “God” with his own eyes. He was not even afraid of “God”. So what threat could a group of mortals, even if they were numerous and armed, pose to Chu Tianjiao?

You know, Chu Tianjiao's spiritual word "Time Zero" is more effective against humans than against dragons.

"It's really just a small scene, and he didn't plan to leave like this. Vincent lost 1 billion to me. According to the previous agreement, he has to answer a hundred questions for me." Chu Tianjiao said with a smile, "I do have a lot of questions to ask him, but obviously he won't fulfill my wishes easily. But it doesn't matter. I have seen a lot of people like this. To deal with such guys, as long as your fists are strong enough, he will surrender to you sooner or later."

"How many people were there in the room at that time?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"If you don't count Vincent and I, there were probably a dozen people, including the dealer, the girls in Christmas costumes, and the strong mercenaries." Chu Tianjiao recalled, "Every one of them pulled out a weapon from somewhere on their bodies. Some had revolvers, some had tactical daggers, and some even had submachine guns. I remember the dealer's weapon was the most special, a pair of butterfly knives. The butterfly knives danced in her hands in a dazzling way. I was amazed at how charming Vincent's subordinates were. They were beautiful and obedient, and their deft hands were first-rate in playing cards and knives."

"You don't sound nervous at all. Do you have the leisure to watch a woman playing with a knife?" Caesar asked.

"It's really not worth being nervous. Those guys rushed towards me at the same time. Some of them waved knives at me, and some shot at me. I heard the sound of submachine guns going 'thump thump thump'." Chu Tianjiao said, "But at that time, I kicked the side of the gambling table and slid out against the back of the chair. All the attacks missed, and so did the bullets. There were dense bullet holes on the table and the ground. These guys really killed people when they started fighting, without hesitation."

"I leaned on the chair and crashed into the crowd. I knocked those burly men to the ground. When they just reacted and tried to subdue me, they could no longer see me." Chu Tianjiao gestured, "Because I released my Word Spirit."

Everyone has experienced Chu Tianjiao's "Time Zero". For these mixed-bloods with excellent bloodlines, Chu Tianjiao's speed is difficult to resist, not to mention for a room of ordinary people, even if they are well-trained and have rich combat experience.

I don't know which scholar in history said a classic proverb that has been passed down to this day: the gap between humans and hybrids is as big as the gap between hybrids and pure-blooded dragons.

"By then, my 'Time Zero' could already slow down time within my domain by more than thirty times. However, I didn't need to use my full strength to deal with these guys. I just wandered through the crowd playfully, watching them look around, each one with a look of fear on their face, as if they were searching for a non-existent ghost." Chu Tianjiao thought for a moment, "But I guess in their eyes at the time, I was just a fleeting ghost. Oh, and my hands were still handcuffed, so I took the key from Sasha's pocket. The guy must not have realized that something was missing from his pocket, and I snatched the gun from his hand. In my 'Time Zero' domain, bullets were as slow and powerless as stones thrown by children. I strolled leisurely through the crowd, and their movements were like a slow-motion movie."

"Time Zero" is such a powerful and unreasonable ability. When he was young, Angers could use this ability to suppress the entire Snake Family and was able to move freely during the roundup by the Japanese underworld, not to mention a group of ordinary people without words and bloodlines... For ordinary humans, when they see such an ability for the first time, they will probably regard it as a miracle in disbelief, right?

"When I released 'Time Zero', I was already next to Vincent. The women and the strong men were still looking at each other and shooting around the room with their guns." Chu Tianjiao said, "They didn't react until I coughed twice. At that time, I pointed the Desert Eagle 'borrowed' from Sasha at Vincent's forehead. I could see that the old guy's body was shaking violently, and beads of sweat kept coming out of his forehead. I was actually a little afraid that I would scare the old guy to death, because I still had questions to ask him. But fortunately, the old guy's psychological quality was a little stronger than I thought. He was just gasping for breath, but he didn't faint or die."

It was indeed quite scary. Everyone simulated the scene in their minds. Chu Tianjiao just mentioned his perspective, but if it was from Vincent's perspective at the time, the person in front of him probably leaned on a chair and slid into the crowd, and then suddenly disappeared. In the old guy's blurry perspective, there was probably only a blurry black shadow shuttling back and forth in the crowd, and then a gun was pointed at his head. The disappeared person appeared beside him at some point, and the handcuffs he had been wearing were inexplicably untied.

"I asked Vincent if we could have a good talk. If I really wanted to, it would only take no more than five seconds to kill all the people in the room. I'm not exaggerating at all, even if they are well-trained assassins from the Spy Academy or ace soldiers from the special forces." Chu Tianjiao said, "I told Vincent that I had expressed my sincerity. I didn't kill them all because I came to verify something. I have no grudges against him or anyone on the 'Yamal'. We could have sat down and had a good talk right from the start, but that's obviously unrealistic because we lack trust in each other. So I'll beat you at the poker table first, and then show you my fist. I think we can have a good talk now because the old guy's life is still in my hands."

Using both carrot and stick, the deterrence Chu Tianjiao gave to Vincent was definitely enough. If nothing unexpected happened, the old guy's psychological defenses were almost crushed by fear.

"Vincent trembled for a long time, and finally seemed to calm down. He waved to his men, and those guys put away their guns and knives. I didn't give them face and threw the Desert Eagle on the table." Chu Tianjiao's eyes suddenly condensed, "I thought my sincerity and deterrence were enough, but after I threw away the gun, the dealer next to Vincent suddenly rushed towards me. I have to admire the courage and loyalty of this girl, but I was also a little angry at the same time because she didn't know what was good for her. I suddenly realized that I was too kind. Whether at the gambling table or in battle, these guys were originally a group of thugs. How could I keep showing my kindness in the face of thugs? It's so stupid. There is only one way to deal with thugs, and that is to fight violence with violence!"

"So you killed the dealer?" Chu Zihang asked.

"Yes, at that moment I understood the principle of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. Even though I admired the girl's ability to act, she was obviously the best 'chicken'. I wanted to use her to completely intimidate the crazy monkeys in the room!" Chu Tianjiao's eyes showed a fierce light. "She used the butterfly knife in her hand to cut the back of my neck, but her speed was too slow in my opinion, and there were many flaws. I waited for the moment when she approached and snatched the two knives from her hands. She had no time to resist or dodge, and she didn't even have time to make an expression of surprise. I chose the most cruel way to kill. I used the tips of the two knives to pierce the brain of her eyes and nailed her to the bookshelf behind Vincent. At the same time, I broke her neck because I didn't want to hear the woman's screams."

After hearing Chu Tianjiao's straightforward description, Jiude Aki's face turned slightly pale, and even Nuonuo's eyes changed when she looked at Chu Tianjiao, because they didn't expect that this uncle who looked so easy to talk to could be so skillful and cruel when it came to killing people.

"Everyone in the room was terrified. The retired special forces soldiers stared with their eyes wide open. Some of the well-trained female killers screamed, and some vomited directly on the carpet. The dealer's body was hung on the bookshelf behind Vincent by her own knife, and the blood flowing from her eyes was like two lines of red tears." Chu Tianjiao whispered, "I was a little angry too. I put my hand on the old guy's bald head and said that I didn't want to kill anyone or see blood. This matter can obviously be resolved peacefully. I just want to find out what I am curious about. I sat at the gambling table and gambled with you according to your rules. I am the winner. Even if you shot at me, I didn't do anything out of line. So do you regard my sincerity as garbage?"

In this sense, Vincent and his gang were indeed quite excessive. From Chu Tianjiao's point of view, his killing was not out of line at all, and his behavior could even be defined as self-defense.

"Vincent suddenly stood up, and the old guy suddenly knelt down in front of me with a thump. To be honest, I was also shocked at the time. I even thought he wanted to bite my thigh." Chu Tianjiao scratched the back of his head. "The old guy trembled and said that the dealer's move to kill me was not his intention, but was completely the personal behavior of that woman. He has seen my ability with his own eyes. How dare he fight with me, how dare he fight with the Chosen One?"

"The chosen one?" Caesar raised his eyebrows slightly, a little curious about the title.

"The old guy also confused me. He really didn't act. I just killed his most beautiful and capable subordinate, but he didn't seem to hate me at all. Instead, he stuck to my shoes and cried loudly." Chu Tianjiao's expression was also a little strange. "He said that they have been waiting for a long time. Why didn't I come earlier? They have been waiting for someone like me to appear. They have been waiting for too long. If I had come another twenty years later, he might have been stuffed into the coffin with regrets and secrets."

"They?" Lu Mingfei keenly caught the word in Chu Tianjiao's words.

Obviously, the "they" Vincent was referring to were not the women and mercenaries in the house.

"I'm also puzzled. The old guy is different from when he was gambling just now." Chu Tianjiao shrugged and said, "This time he became mysterious and kept mumbling in German words like 'God', 'Führer', 'Plan' and 'Child of Destiny'. It's hard to understand."

Chapter 1070 Rebirth

"Head of State?" Chu Zihang said in a low voice.

Although he was a typical science student, his liberal arts and history were also quite good. He remembered Chu Tianjiao saying that most of the numbers on the bookshelf behind Vincent were in German, and he could speak German and had lived in Germany when he was young... When it came to Germany and the title of "Führer", Chu Zihang subconsciously thought of a certain historical figure.

"The old guy cried for three or four minutes, as if he was thinking of something sad. His subordinates seemed to be used to seeing him like this. Sasha handed me a glass of wine and told me that their captain was not normal for a few days every month. I could drink some wine first, and there was no poison in the wine to reassure me." Chu Tianjiao said, "Now it was my turn to be a little confused. I asked Sasha what this was. Could it be that the bet and the sudden attack just now were a test?"

It does seem to be the case. Chu Tianjiao defeated Vincent in the gambling game and completely defeated Vincent's men in the battle. He passed the test, so Vincent expressed his true feelings and described him with titles like "son of destiny" and "destined man"... Otherwise, how could the old guy not be angry at all when Chu Tianjiao killed Vincent's most beautiful and capable subordinate in front of him?

"But Sasha told me that this is not a test. Many people have entered this room before, but few have been able to walk out intact. They more or less left something on the ship." Chu Tianjiao said softly, "For some, it's wealth, for some, it's freedom, and for some, it's even life. This is also one of the biggest sources of income for the Yamal. This room is indeed a den of poisonous snakes for those who enter for the first time. Those who are not skilled enough will be poisoned to death and then eaten. Otherwise, Vincent would have been unable to afford such a steel behemoth to sail in the Arctic Circle for many years just by selling tickets and his previous savings. I am the first outsider who made Vincent look like this."

"I asked Sasha what was different about me, and Sasha said he only knew that their captain was waiting for someone. Vincent had been waiting for many years for an ancient plan of his, but such a person never showed up, so long that the crew thought their old captain was going to give up on this idea." Chu Tianjiao said, "Until today I suddenly showed up, and it was the first time they saw Vincent mention these things in front of outsiders."

"There must be something Vincent wants in the Arctic Circle, right?" Chu Zihang analyzed, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have to spend so much money and effort to buy such an icebreaker to keep the 'Yamal' sailing... What he has in mind should be related to the dragon clan."

"That's very strange." Caesar frowned slightly and said, "But just now your father said that Vincent didn't know what the Nibelung was, and it seems that they are also unfamiliar with the power of the Word Spirit. At least they have no experience in dealing with 'Time Zero'."

"Ordinary people's understanding of the dragon world is originally very limited. They may not know that there are dragons in the world, but they believe that there are supernatural powers, magic, or aliens in the world. Anyway, I used to like to think about it." Lu Mingfei shrugged and said, "It is very likely that Vincent also heard some things from hearsay, saying that there are some magical powers in the Arctic Circle. It just so happens that there is a Nibelung in the Arctic Circle. He doesn't know that it is a dragon, but in his opinion, it must be some supernatural power, maybe magic, maybe metaphysics, or maybe 'God'. So Vincent has been wandering around the Arctic Circle. I guess he wants to find magical powers, which should be related to the 'plan', 'head of state' and 'child of destiny' he mentioned."

"After a few minutes, Vincent finally stopped crying. He looked at me with curiosity, as if he was looking at a living alien. I noticed that there was curiosity, excitement and cunning in the old guy's eyes. At that moment, I realized that he had been trembling, so sad, so excited, and he was not afraid at all." Chu Tianjiao recalled, "It was a very complicated emotion, like something that had been expected for many years but never came true. Until you were about to give up, you suddenly saw the light. At that moment, I knew that the old guy must have some kind of deep obsession in his heart. This obsession is more important to him than wealth, women, and even life."

"Plan", "Head of State", "Son of Destiny"... Chu Zihang pondered these words over and over in his mind, combined them with certain folk rumors, and then substituted that famous person in history into the mix. An ancient, secretive and huge concept gradually took shape in his mind.

"Dad, when Vincent was crying excitedly, did he mention any other words?" Chu Zihang suddenly looked at Chu Tianjiao and asked, "For example, 'head of state', or... 'resurrection'?"

"Oh?" Chu Tianjiao looked at his son with interest, "Did you guess it?"

"I don't know if it's right, but I'm 70% sure. When you mentioned those German words Vincent mentioned, I thought of them." Chu Zihang nodded and said, "Combined with what you said before, Vincent lived in Germany, and most of the books on his bookshelf are in German. When it comes to Germany and the 'Führer', people will always think of the famous, or infamous leader of the Neizu Party in history."

"Xi Te La." Caesar slowly uttered the name that was sensational in history.

Even though more than half a century has passed since the initiator of World War II, people still feel scared when their hearts are trembling when their names are mentioned. Some young European children have received education about him and watched movies about him... but they are all negative. In the textbooks of many countries, this name is an absolute sinner in history, a fanatical war thug who wrote his dark legendary life with guns, blood and human lives.

"Historically, after Germany was defeated, Xi Te Li committed suicide by shooting himself in the basement of the German Chancellery at 1945:4 pm on April 30, . His wife Eva also swallowed poison. Afterwards, their bodies were doused with gasoline by their attendants and burned to ashes. Their ashes were also buried in the bomb crater." Chu Tianjiao explained to everyone, "However, the basis for confirming Xi Te Li's death at the time was the several dentures he found in the bomb crater, and the person who confirmed it was Xi Te Li's dentist. This news was announced by the Soviet Union at the time, but even the Soviet military itself did not believe this statement until years later, when a German writer publicly overturned this statement."

"It's really hard to believe that a madman with such obsession would commit suicide by shooting himself." Caesar nodded.

"Not only that, an Argentine writer also put forward his own point of view. He believed that Xi Tebi spent hundreds of billions of US dollars to redeem his life from the Soviet military, which had just ended the war and was short of money. Xi Tebi then fled Berlin with Eva and lived in a secluded village in Argentina until he died at the age of 75." Chu Zihang said, "There is also a Brazilian researcher who holds the same view, but he believes that Xi Tebi faked his death and fled to a small village on the border between Brazil and Bolivia, and died at the age of 95."
