ther, holding his notebook to review the information left by my father."Then what shall we do If these evil people come seeking revenge, with just the two of us... I estimate our ability to resist wou...His hair stood on end, as if electrocuted, with a few strands of gray rising slightly.

The aura lingered outside the door. I glanced at the skinny monkey.

The slender monkey was so tense that its eyes widened, its eyelashes didn't dare to flutter, and its Adam's apple trembled slightly, as if trying to suppress a terrified cry.

Seeing him like that, I winked at Dabao.

Outside, he was clearly a "superhuman." If he suddenly barged in, I'd be nothing but trash in a fight. I could only rely on the big treasure to hold him off while I recited incantations to summon help.

Da Bao straightened his slender frame, indicating that the package should be placed on him.

Just as we were mentally prepared, the jellyfish-like breath outside began to stir again, gently brushing over our heads and continuing deeper into the passage.

"Whew…" the thin monkey quietly let out a breath.

He turned to look at me, a slight pause: "... I wasn't mistaken, you honored guest, you indeed came prepared."

"Let's cut to the chase, what do you know" I asked, frowning.

To be honest, I've made a lot of money staying here for so long. If it wasn't for the strange things happening lately, I wouldn't want to leave..." The skinny monkey came over and squatted beside me, whispering in a low voice.

People who have been operating in the gray areas for years are cunning.

It's impressive that the macaque has managed to thrive here. He hasn't been killed, used as a scapegoat, or left with a criminal record. He operates subtly, both openly and secretly accumulating wealth. He's truly a master manipulator among his kind.

This casino is divided into two areas: the outer area and the inner area. The outer area is a dilapidated place where low-level gamblers gather, while the inner area is reserved for high-end players.

Our country prohibits gambling, drugs, and triad activities. The mastermind behind this place must be incredibly powerful.

"You're right! It's the behind-the-scenes boss..." Thin Monkey whispered, "I've been here for years, and only recently found out there's a woman pulling the strings. She supposedly rarely appears, with agents handling everything. Lately, I don't know how it happened, but she's come back."

"Have you ever seen it" I asked, furrowing my brow.

The skinny monkey shook its head, not to mention seeing it, even internal information was scarce.

After this woman came back, her monthly routine gambling immediately jumped to 100 million, and the stakes were very unique. As long as they were VIPs or regulars here, they would bet "their life and property." If they won, they would get 100 million.

If you don't win, then your deposits, house, car, and everything else will be "recalled" by specialized personnel.

"So, are you saying that someone with little capital can still participate Like, I only have a few hundred dollars, but if I can get into this backroom, I can join" I asked.

"Right!" The skinny monkey patted his thigh.

What a bizarre rule

"What if someone actually wins Wouldn't that be a losing deal" Dabao couldn't help but ask.

"No, no, the rule is: life or fortune. That means if you're a multi-millionaire, you only bet a few hundred bucks, you don't even qualify. Don't underestimate the Black Society's sources of information." Skinny Monkey scoffed.

"...So, many regular customers and wealthy people 'hire' people to gamble Like you." I asked.

The thin-skinned monkey awkwardly smiled and forced an explanation: "No, no, I wasn't qualified to begin with. I'm just here to watch the show. If I dared to participate, I'd probably disappear that day..."

"So you want my young mistress to gamble with you Do you even know how rich she is" Dabao looked down at the skinny monkey.

Shhh... I don't have much wealth!

Apart from the special advisor's allowance and income from handling assignments, what assets do I have

My little house belongs to my father, and I'm only managing the Shen family's vast property!

These two are my parents' "businesses", how dare I use them for gambling.

The thin monkey grinned and said, "Well, with a reliable assistant like you here, hehe…"

He winked at Dabao.

Da Bao was about to lose his temper, but the thin-skinned monkey slowly said, "You drove a beat-up van here, but your family lives in XX District. This district isn't cheap, an average-sized apartment costs two million... And your wife drives a car that's ten times more expensive than your van, don't you think How could I possibly look down on you"

Da Bao was taken aback, and the thin-skinned monkey賠笑道 (made a conciliatory smile): “Don’t be angry, sir. When we see strange cars parked here, our lookout guys immediately investigate. We have some friends in every industry, making things easier. You understand, right”

"Well, I got investigated too" I raised an eyebrow and asked.

"No, I haven't had the chance yet." The thin monkey spread his hands: "I am sincerely making friends with both of you. I tell everything and keep nothing secret, hoping that both of you can help me. I'm taking one last gamble. Life and death are fate, wealth and honor depend on heaven!"

Life and death are predetermined by fate, while wealth and honor are bestowed by Heaven.

I raised an eyebrow and nodded slightly. “Sure, but you have to find someone for me, and track their activity here.”

The slender monkey was surprised and clapped his legs: "You said so."

I told him about the young master Yan's words and deeds. The skinny monkey frowned slightly and whispered, "... I seem to have a little impression, this guy doesn't have much money, but he always gambles in the front field. Recently, because of the rules of this game in the back room, he is also desperately trying to take a gamble... You wait five minutes."

The slender monkey stepped out of the room, and I walked to the door, looking into the depths of the corridor.

This place is like an underground cinema, with some stairs leading up and down. At the end, there's a hint of hostility coming from within.

"Little Madam, Cao Shi has come to see you..." Cao Shi appeared behind me.

"The aura just now was too intense, luckily you dodged it quickly." I said.

"Yes... there should be cultivators here." Cao Shi whispered. "I just went to report to the Emperor Jun."

"Huh Where did he go" Jiang Qiyun had left a while ago, no one knew where he was touring to.

"His Majesty is nearby. Please tell the Young Mistress that there seems to be a flow of malicious energy on the throne. The Young Mistress must be careful when investigating." Cao Shi reminded.

"Exchange positions I do feel a hint of hostility here, it should be to the right at the end of the passage..."

The skinny monkey hurried back, shut the door and whispered, “The kid named Yan that you’re looking for is right here. I heard he brought some things to pawn, saying it was all his belongings.”

"What did you take" I hurriedly asked.

Some tattered old coins, said to be family heirlooms from ancient times, were pawned off at a shop for 80,000 yuan.

"Can I redeem it" I hurriedly asked.

The skinny monkey hesitated, as if in doubt.

"You just help me with this, and I won't take a single penny of the 100 million. I'll give it all to you." I said.

The thin-skinned monkey pressed his voice down, asking in a low voice: "…Are you sure"

"Alright, since you want to back out anyway, might as well help me finish this. I'll make us a fortune and then send you off properly." I said firmly.

He was a little too excited to contain himself, a glint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes: "Good! I'm all in."

I gave Da Bao and Cao Shi a knowing look, they nodded slightly, indicating understanding.

"Go!"ng! Are you going to fight"This must be the neighborhood watch, right I was about to turn around and explain myself when the little boy immediately grabbed my wrist with both hands."Don't go! Don't...
