Urban Ace Bodyguard

Chapter 1195 - 1264: Betting Life Against Life

Lin Hai gazed at the four gambling experts, but their looks at Lin Hai were filled with disdain.In their eyes, a gambling expert's hands must be meticulously cared for to achieve the highest speed and sensitivity.

However, Lin Hai's hands were so rough that he couldn't possibly be a gambling expert, posing no threat to them at all.

As for the few beauties, they completely lacked the aura of gambling experts.

Only Lei Jing remained, but she was no match for them.

"The Eighth Prince has made it clear: today, either you win against us at the gambling table and leave safely, or you leave your hands behind, kneel down, apologize, and admit your mistake to the Eighth Prince."

The speaker, in unfluent, nonstandard Mandarin, was the Thai Gambling King, Baniesg.

"Leave my hands? Heh, it's a law-abiding society now." Lin Hai replied with a smile.

Baniesg immediately showed a look of disdain and said, "In the underground world, we have our own order and rules. Since you dare to mess with the Eighth Prince's people, you should have the awareness to follow the underground world's rules."

Ouyang Xiaoya and the other women were extremely curious, wondering what the underground world was. They had only heard a bit about it before, with no firsthand experience at all.

"Fine, since it's the underground rules, winning should mean the Eighth Prince leaves his hands too," Lin Hai retorted.

The Thai Gambling King Baniesg was slightly stunned, not expecting Lin Hai to respond this way.

"The order of the underground world actually focuses on one point, which is fairness, a kind of extreme fairness that allows any method to be chosen to resolve grievances between both parties, and the winner has the right to execute the set punishment and reward. Am I right?"

Lin Hai smiled and asked in return.

"I didn't expect you to actually understand the rules of the underground world." The Thai expert was somewhat surprised.

The rules of the underground world have fewer constraints on moral boundaries, so Baniesg thought Lin Hai was ignorant and purposely proposed incorrect rules earlier.

In reality, regarding the complete order and rules of the underground world, no one present understood better than Lin Hai.

Because Lin Hai has indeed walked in the international dark underground world for seven years.

Moreover, he has participated multiple times as the King of Assassins and King of Mercenaries in black conferences setting basic rules for the underground world.

"Since that's the case, why don't we raise the stakes a bit?"

After speaking, the Thai expert couldn't help but glance at Ouyang Xiaoya, licking his lips.

Lin Hai secretly sneered within; to even want his wife, it's simply courting death. However, he remained calm outwardly and asked, "Oh? How much are you suggesting?"

"If you lose, every girl present must stay and accompany our four brothers in turns overnight, hehe." The Thai said greedily.

Except for South Asia's top Gambling King Chou Jiu, the other three laughed licentiously.

Ouyang Xiaoya and the other women immediately turned ugly, glaring angrily at the others.

Lin Hai snorted coldly, "Why don't we raise the stakes even higher?"

"Oh? How high do you want to bet?" The Thai expert asked with interest.

In his view, today his side was sure to win, wishing Lin Hai bet everything in anger.

"Betting lives, how about that?" Lin Hai said word by word, his eyes icy cold.

To covet his loved ones, they must have the awareness to pay the price.

The Thai expert chuckled lightly, "Are you serious?"

Lin Hai nodded, "I'm betting my life with you, how about it?"

"Who do you think you are? Dare to bet life with me, I have an annual income of tens of millions, a net worth of hundreds of millions." Thai Gambling King Baniesg said disdainfully.

"I hold eighty percent of Linya Pharmaceutical's shares, with the company's monthly capital flow reaching billions, outperforming your entire net worth in a month. Do I qualify?"

Lin Hai displayed this identity.

The eyes of the four masters froze for a moment; none of them expected Lin Hai, whom they initially looked down upon, to be a major shareholder in the now-renowned Yanjing's Linya Pharmaceutical.

"Are you really Linya Pharmaceutical's major shareholder?" The Thai expert asked suspiciously.

Lin Hai snorted coldly, "Your life alone is not worth it, let's bet with the four of you together, shall we? If I lose, not only my life but Linya Pharmaceutical as well, dare to bet?"

The phrase "Dare to bet?" immediately lifted Lin Hai's momentum thoroughly, turning passive into active.

"Since you're looking to die, we can fulfill that wish."

"Great, but it should be me fulfilling you." Lin Hai replied bluntly.

"What do you want to bet on?" The South Korean expert Jin Ye couldn't help but stand up and ask.

Lin Hai didn't rush to answer, glancing at Lei Jing.

"I'm best at playing 'Fight the Landlord'…" Lei Jing whispered.

"…" Lin Hai's previously calm mouth twitched several times fiercely; damn, in such a grand setting with such impressive momentum, how could your elderly self drop the ball like this, play 'Fight the Landlord'! Shouldn't it be Texas Hold'em?

Jin Ye sneered and then spoke, "Why don't we follow the international convention, and play Texas Hold'em!"

Lin Hai looked at Lei Jing again.

The latter nodded with gritted teeth, "Both 'Fight the Landlord' and Texas Hold'em are my strong suits."

The Thai expert Baniesg suddenly interjected, "You play Texas Hold'em with Jin Ye, but if you want to compete with me, it has to be dice."

Lin Hai nodded; dice would be even simpler.

"Alright, I'll go first then." Jin Ye was still nursing hatred for the previous event, eager for revenge.

"First things first, no matter who comes, it's life gambling!" Lin Hai declared the rules.

"Beast Lin, did you take the wrong medicine? Life gambling!" Ouyang Xiaoya clung tightly to Lin Hai's arm.

Lin Hai turned his head to look at the CEO's delicate face, smiling as he asked, "Didn't you want to see my manly prowess just now?"

"But…"

"I don't want to see now; you beast, what's the point of manliness if you die." Ouyang Xiaoya's eyes flashed anxiously, regretting using provoking tactics earlier on the beast.

Lin Hai waved casually, "No worries, darling, didn't you see at the Hilton Hotel how I showcased my poker skills?"

This reminded Ouyang Xiaoya, who was taken aback, then thought: back at the Hilton, the beast's poker play was simply "6" to the extreme, plus he never does anything he's not confident in.

"Are you really sure?" The CEO remained worried; after all, it's life gambling.

"Definitely no problem!"

With that, Lin Hai motioned for Lei Jing to sit at the gambling table while he stood beside it.

"You're not doing it yourself?" Jin Ye asked, looking at Lin Hai with disdain.

"I'm not familiar with the gambling rules, so I asked Miss Lei to help me, but the one gambling life is myself." Lin Hai explained with a smile.

"Hehe, very well, your life is about to be mine, croupier, deal the cards." Jin Ye raised his hand.

Soon, the croupier began dealing the cards, and Jin Ye sneered repeatedly, staring at Lin Hai and Lei Jing.

The first card, the so-called bottom card.

Lei Jing lifted a corner; it was the Spades 3, the second was the Hearts 4, her expression became unpleasant as the points were too small.

On the opposite side, Jin Ye revealed his second card as the Club K, smiling as the statistics seemed favorable for him.

Due to life gambling, there were no other bets involved.

The third card, Lin Hai had Hearts 5, while Jin Ye had Spades Q, making Jin Ye's smile more confident.

The fourth card, Lin Hai had Hearts 2, adding up to 2, 3, 4, 5, while Jin Ye had Hearts J.

"Alright, reveal the cards, unless you have Hearts A, no other card can beat me." Jin Ye spoke, full of confidence, knowing his bottom card was Hearts A, aligning perfectly with 10, J, Q, K, A.

Lin Hai only had one chance, unless drawing Hearts A to complete a straight flush, otherwise it w
