C23 The Big Man from the Casino Had Lost a Finger

The big man was pushed onto the table by the crowd. He shook his head with all his might and said, "No, no, you're cheating, you're cheating, I refuse to accept this, I refuse to accept this …"

In an instant, more than ten burly men appeared in the gambling house. Each of them stood nine feet tall and surrounded the big man. The skinny man said coldly, "I want his fingers."

Then the big man was pressed onto the table, unable to move at all. He let him scream and shout, and the skinny man stepped on the stool and went up to the table. He stepped on the big man's face and said coldly, "If you lose, then don't play."

The big man began to curse. No matter how ugly it was, he would curse as much as he could. Of course, Yun Yan did not understand these words. Ruojie frowned slightly. The skinny man had a shining dagger in his hand. Just as the skinny man was about to cut the big man, a voice suddenly came from the crowd, "Stop!"

The voice was not loud, but it was enough to cover the commotion on the stage. Everyone turned their heads and saw Ruojie standing by the table with his arms crossed. Someone said, "Don't meddle in other people's business. Be careful not to be chopped up with you."

Ruojie smiled, but there was a trace of killing intent in his eyes. He said coldly, "I bet with you. If you win, all the money on me will belong to you. If you lose, his fingers will belong to me."

As he spoke, Ruojie took out all the money on him. When he took out the gold coins, everyone was stunned. There was a total of a few hundred taels of gold. Fortunately, he had the Cosmos Bag. If he carried these heavy gold coins with him, he would definitely die.

The skinny man's eyes were shining as he said excitedly, "Okay, I'll bet with you. What do we bet?"

Ruojie said, "What do you want to bet?"

The skinny man pointed at a person and said, "He is here to shake the dice, so we will guess the numbers."

Ruojie said, "How do I know if he is on the same side as you?"

The skinny man said, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Ruojie pointed at Yun Yan who was standing at the side and said, "Let's do this. I will guess the numbers, and my brother will guess the numbers. Whoever wins will be the winner. How about it?"

The skinny man thought for a moment and said, "Alright, let's do as you say."

Then Yun Yan and the skinny man respectively stood beside the two of them and began to shake the dice. Yun Yan imitated her and shook the dice in a serious manner. The skinny man stared at Yun Yan's hand that was shaking back and forth. Ruojie's expression was indifferent.

After that, Yun Yan placed the sieve cup on the table. The person opposite him also stopped moving. Ruojie smiled and made a gesture to invite him. The skinny man said, "Five and five."

Ruojie said, "One point."

Another one point. Everyone was puzzled. How could the skinny man be able to shake a point? He could even shake a point by randomly pointing at a person? Could it be that they were really on the same side?

Ruojie said, "Let's go."

The skinny man nodded. Yun Yan and that person opened the sieve cup together. Yun Yan's side had five and one points, a total of six points. However, there was only one point on Ruojie's side. There was only one point up on the color. Everyone was shocked. "Where did the color go? Why is there only one left?"

Ruojie laughed, "Look below?"

Everyone looked at the table. The color had turned into fine ash. The skinny man shouted, "You cheated."

Ruojie spread out his hands and said, "I didn't touch the color from the beginning to the end. How could I cheat? You said that you were willing to bet and admit defeat. Don't forget it."

Then Ruojie signaled Yun Yan to put away his gold. Yun Yan put the gold on the table into Ruojie's Cosmos Bag one by one. Everyone looked at the hundred taels of gold and couldn't help but exclaim, "Country bumpkin, you are really a country bumpkin. He brings silver notes when he goes out, but he brings gold when he goes out."

The big man knelt in front of Ruojie and begged, "Good man, please spare me."

Ruojie threw the dagger in front of him and said, "I said that your fingers are mine. Do it yourself."

Yun Yan went to Ruojie's side and said, "Ruojie …"

Ruojie pressed down the hand Yun Yan was about to extend to him, "He is addicted to gambling. He deserves to pay the price."

The big man endured the pain. He thought that Ruojie's action would ease things. He didn't expect that his finger would only go from one person to another. He looked at his own hand, but in the end, he didn't manage to save it.

The big man screamed and used the dagger to cut off the pinky of his left hand. Then he trembled as he held the bloodied finger and handed it to Ruojie. Ruojie was sitting in a circle chair with a big smile on his face as he looked at the big man. He took the finger from the big man and used the dagger to cut off the flesh on the finger bit by bit. Then he drilled a small hole, put on a rope, and threw it back to the big man. The big man took the broken finger bone. The pain made his face pale, and there was a layer of sweat on his forehead.

Then, he looked at Ruojie with confusion. Ruojie laughed coldly and said, "This is a lesson for you. Don't hate anyone. If I don't want this finger today, you will lose it in the future."

Yun Yan instantly understood Ruojie's intention. Looking at the young master of the Demon Realm, he was actually a bold and careful person. If he wasn't a chatterbox, he would be able to win the girl's heart.

Seeing Yun Yan staring at him, Ruojie went up to him and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Am I not handsome?"

Yun Yan clicked her tongue and turned around to leave the casino with her arms crossed.

"I thought it was a fun place, but now it looks like it's nothing. I won't come back in the future." Yun Yan complained.

Ruojie looked at her and said, "You are... ungrateful. I brought you in because I was curious. Don't tell me you weren't excited just now?"

Yun Yan said, "It's fine if others don't know, but you are a white tiger demon. It's easy for you to do something in the sieve pot."

Ruojie said unconvinced, "I don't want to play these childish games anymore. I don't need to do anything."

Yun Yan said, "If you didn't do anything, why would the sieve pot shatter into powder? Don't think that I didn't see you use your power just now. There was also the black demonic energy in the sieve pot."

Roojie laughed, "Aiya, don't expose me."

"Mighty warrior, please wait." The big man from the casino chased after them.

Ruojie and Yun Yan turned around together. The big man held the broken finger in his hand and said, "Thank you for helping me. In the future, I will never gamble again."

Ruojie patted his shoulder and said, "That's exactly what I meant. If you don't keep your fingers, how can you stop the thought of gambling?"

The big man held his hand and turned around to leave. Yun Yan looked at his back and said, "So that's how it is."

Ruojie whispered into Yun Yan's ear, "Actually, I am a ghost, and I am also a person who saved people. I played these games very well, but I am still doing this for my gold. If I don't have any gold on me, the two of us will have to sleep on the streets and starve."

Yun Yan looked at Ruojie and said, "This is your real goal, right?"
