After everyone left, Chendong brought Lee Xun to a VIP room on the top floor. The two of them sat by the window and drank wine.
Looking down at the night scenery of Las Vegas, Lee Xun felt like he was back in a bustling city on Earth.
"Lee Xun, you're not completely lucky with the bet tonight, are you?" Chendong crossed his legs and shook his wine cup, as he asked with a smile.
"Hehe, I have indeed played a little smart. However, I can only make rational use of the rules." Lee Xun vaguely replied.
"Ten against nine, each with their own ability. When I saw you in the teleportation circle, I knew you were a dragon among men. People like you have a strong sense of purpose. I really want to call you my friend. If you think highly of me, Chendong, and have anything that needs me, feel free to just say it. " Chendong said sincerely.
Lee Xun glanced at Chendong, then said: "Alright, I'll be direct then. I came to Las Vegas this time to raise money. "
"Raising money? If a person like you is in need of money, I'm afraid it's not a small amount. " Chendong was surprised.
"I need 40 billion." Lee Xun immediately stated the amount he needed.
"40 billion?" Lee Xun, this amount of money is enough for two empires to wage wars for ten years. One had to know that Lee Xun and the others were all talking about purple gold coins, but the ordinary people were all using gold coins. 40 billion purple gold coins was 4 trillion gold coins, and ordinary people would only spend a few dozen gold coins a year.
Don't look at the gambling house tonight. Everyone was betting tens of millions of purple gold coins, but one must know that the families that were invited by Shaodong, one of the five casinos in Las Vegas, weren't rich. Compared to Mo Lin and the other two princes, he was much richer. It was not that Mo Lin and the rest could not afford to take out a hundred million purple coins, but as princes, they had to restrain themselves from spending money. If not, when people criticized them for being so extravagant and wasteful, they might not keep their position as crown prince. As for the people who came tonight, all of them had their own backgrounds. For example, Dongtiao Xiaoji, he had discovered an empty gold mine in his territory, although most of it had to be turned over to the national treasury, the amount that he received was very substantial.
However, it was absolutely impossible for everyone to say 40 billion purple coins in one go. Not to mention 40 billion, even 4 billion was difficult. Each of them had their own family background, but that did not mean that they could pull out that much cash immediately. That was why Chendong said that if someone did not have enough cash to sign the bill, that was because he had taken a fancy to their background and ability to earn money.
"Hehe, if you really want to raise military pay for an empire, you wouldn't even need a young man like me, would you?"
"Lee Xun, don't beat around the bush. If you have something to say, just say it, I can talk to my grandfather about the purple gold. As long as there's money to earn, twenty billion is not a problem." Chendong said.
Lee Xun couldn't help but take another glance at Chendong, thinking that this Chendong was definitely someone who would do great things, he was too shrewd and decisive.
"You should have heard of the battle between Fengxiang Chamber of Commerce, right?"
"You are the Lee Xun who defeated Yi Liu?" At this moment, Chendong finally thought of someone who had a good reputation. When he first heard the name Lee Xun, he felt that it had a bit of an impact, but he didn't think about going there.
Lee Xun nodded his head, and laughed: "Hehe, I didn't expect the rumors to be so widespread."
Chendong laughed bitterly: "Yi Liu is known as one of the few geniuses in the last hundred years of Sword Soul Continent, so his name is naturally extremely famous. Originally, an unknown person like you actually won against him, especially since there's Miss Duanmu Ruoxue in the middle of it, naturally the rumors spread even more quickly and widely. Not only that, you even snatched away the fiancee of Emperor Bao Wei of the Tianshun Empire, Princess Han Meiji, and Miss Shangguan Jing'er of the Fengxiang Chamber of Commerce. She was also expelled from the clan because of you. Out of the original Jiakesi Academy's four great beauties, you took three of them yourself, you are definitely my role model. If anyone were to bring up that Rotterdam Lee Xun now, and if they were to say that they had never heard of him before, they would definitely be scolded as an idiot. "
Lee Xun rubbed his nose and laughed: "Let's not talk about this anymore. My goal is to collect all of the Wan's Chamber of Commerce s, but due to the lack of time, I can only temporarily come to the casino. "
"Lee Xun, I know you have a good background, but don't underestimate the strength of the casinos in Las Vegas. You may be able to win billions from here, but it's impossible to take forty billion. Generally, as long as someone wins more than three billion, those old monsters will be lured out. " Chendong said honestly.
"You mean, Heaven Rank Rankers?"
"En, I don't dare to say those small and medium-sized casinos, but for our five big casinos to respectively find two Heaven Rank Rankers s is not difficult at all."
Lee Xun's face could not help but turn serious, he was here to raise money, it would be best if he did not cause unnecessary trouble, he was not afraid, but he could not give Fengxiang Chamber of Commerce any more trouble, it was already difficult enough for them.
"Chendong, then give me an idea." Lee Xun couldn't think of any good methods at the moment.
"Lee Xun, I can bring you to see my grandfather. The task of persuading you can only be left to you, I have no confidence in being able to do so." Chendong said somewhat helplessly. He also knew that the Fengxiang Chamber of Commerce was currently at an absolute disadvantage against the Wan's Chamber of Commerce.
"Hehe, Chendong, then tomorrow morning, do you think it's okay?"
"Alright, don't worry. I will speak up for you when the time comes."
After finishing their business, the two began to chat. They were very engaged, and as soon as they finished, dawn arrived.
"Lee Xun, let's go. My grandfather should be up by now."
"He's in this casino?"
"Hehe, he's an old gambler. How could he leave the casino?"
Leaving the VIP box, Chendong brought Lee Xun to a VIP box that was two doors apart, and knocked on the door.
Not long later, the door opened, and a pair of extremely pure looking twins walked out. They called out to Chendong as they blushed, and then left in a hurry.
Chendong laughed: "Not only is my grandfather a gambler, he is also a pervert. To put it bluntly, he is old and dishonest. Don't be too serious when you talk to him in a while."
"Little Dong, who are you slandering me to?" A high-spirited voice sounded.
Following Chendong in, Lee Xun saw a red-faced old man who was eating breakfast. This old man was Chendong's grandfather, Chen Gu, who was at the twelfth stage and looked to be extremely energetic.
"Grandfather." Chendong replied respectfully.
"Yeah, I heard you've made a new friend, is that the kid?" Chen Gu looked at Lee Xun with his bright eyes.
"Yes, his name is Lee Xun."
"Good morning, old man Chen." Lee Xun laughed.
"Kid, are you mocking this old man?" Chen-Gu's tone was cold.
"Old Master Chen, I can see that the two pure girls that just left are still virgins. It seems like your love for them is quite simple."
"Pfft." The milk in Chengu's mouth splashed all over the place.
Lee Xun and Chendong immediately dodged to the side, while Chendong looked at Lee Xun with a blaming look. If Lee Xun's words were spoken by him just now, it wouldn't be a big deal. But as an outsider, wouldn't that mean he was laughing at his own grandfather's age.
But to Chendong's surprise, Chen Gu wiped his mouth and laughed: "Lee Xun, it seems like you understand me better. Do you think that those two girls just now were cute? How could I, an old man, harm them? You're right. I just admire them. You speak better than our family's little boss. Little Dong, learn from me in the future. " After he finished speaking, he looked at Chendong with a blaming gaze.
Chendong could not help but look at Lee Xun in pleasant surprise, and secretly gave him a big thumbs up. He thought to himself that this Lee Xun was indeed not simple, he was able to understand the old man's temper with just a few words.
"Grandfather, I brought Lee Xun here today because I have something to discuss with you."
"Lee Xun, I found some information about you that really surprised me. However, don't mind me. Little Dong Zi is my designated successor. I will look into anyone who is close to him. "If you have something to say, just say it." Chen Gu said.
Lee Xun was not surprised that Chen Gu would investigate him, nor was he surprised that he could find out some information about himself.
"Old Master Chen, this kid made a bet. The stakes are Fengxiang Chamber of Commerce and Wan's Chamber of Commerce. If you were invited to participate in this bet, which side would you bet on? " Lee Xun asked with a smile.
"Hahahaha, good good good, Lee Xun, you are truly an extraordinary person. Just tell me what my old man can get, and do the marriage for others, and my old man will not do it. " Chenchu became very excited all of a sudden.
Chendong couldn't help but admire Lee Xun secretly. He had casually said that his own grandfather was an old gambler, yet he had used him. He was clearly here to plead for someone, but the words he said were the sound of an invitation, and it was an invitation that no one could reject. His grandfather had always loved to gamble. He had never cared about how big the stakes were, and the bigger the risks, the more he dared to gamble. He had always believed in the principle of seeking wealth from danger, and had gambled for decades with few losses.
"Hehe, old man, then we'll have to see how much you're willing to invest."
"Tell me first, how long do you think it will take for the results to come to fruition?" At this moment, ChenGu's face had turned serious. He no longer had that little face from before.
Lee Xun said confidently: "My original plan was to stay here for half a year, before coming here, I had the confidence to finish it within three months."
"Three months? Good, as expected of a young person who deserves to be feared. 50 billion, and 60 billion in three months. " Chen Gu said.
"Deal." Lee Xun laughed. Originally, Chendong had only said 20 billion, Lee Xun reckoned that Chendong had already said it to be a bit more optimistic, but now Chen Gu had said 50 billion, how much courage did he have? However, Lee Xun understood that Chen Gu did not want to fight a battle with no certainty of winning. Since he had decided to join, he had to be a little more fierce. Lee Xun thought, this old man was really impressive.
ChenGu revealed a wretched smile again as he took out two boxes from the Spatial Ring and said, "There are twenty-four billion inside. Let Little Dong Zi transfer two billion to you. Three months from now, I will wait for your good news. Scram."
Walking out of the room, Chendong's face was still filled with shock: "Lee Xun, to tell you the truth, I have also pursued Shangguan Jing'er before. Until I came to see Grandfather, I was still a little unconvinced towards you. "But now, I truly have to respect you. Let's become sworn brothers. I acknowledge you as my big brother." At that moment, Chendong's face looked serious, as if he was joking.
Lee Xun replied: "Second brother."
"Big brother."
The two of them made a fist and made a bow. Even though it seemed simple, the two of them were sincere. The ceremony was really important to them since they were sworn brothers?
Chendong brought Lee Xun to the accounting office, but was stopped by the manager at the door: "Young Master Sun, the treasury is extremely heavy. Outsiders are not allowed to enter, you should know the rules.
"Elder Wan, this is Lee Xun. The big brother I just met will be a part of my family from now on. It's grandpa who asked me to pay. Give 2 billion to my big brother. "
This man was Hu Kou Casino's chief accountant, Wan Yu, for someone with a different surname to be able to achieve this position, he was naturally loyal and had great capabilities. Hearing Chendong say this, he immediately became respectful towards Lee Xun, he knew that his young master Sun was very capable, and anyone who could be considered as a big brother would definitely be an extraordinary person.
"Young Master Lee Xun, you can't be that Lee Xun, right?"
Lee Xun laughed, although Wan Zhengshu did not say which one, but a few Lee Xun's reputation had risen greatly.
"Elder Wan, you have to keep the matter of my sworn brother and me as well as the matter of me paying you today a secret for three months." Chendong asked. The fact that he had become sworn brothers with Lee Xun naturally could not be spread out for the time being.
"Hehe, don't worry Young Master Sun, I understand." Wanshu was also an experienced and experienced person. Chendong must have had some huge interests in him, but at the same time, he was happy that this Young Master Sun trusted him so much.
After spending the money, Lee Xun's heart became a lot more relaxed. He did not expect this trip to be so smooth, he had originally planned to stay here for two or three months.
Leaving the account room, the two of them walked out. Lee Xun said: "Chendong, we can only be invisible brothers for three months now."
"Hehe, it's only been three months. I won't accompany you out during the day, so that others won't see through it. "
"En, go busy yourself with your own matters, I will go for a stroll in the city."
"Alright, don't forget your date with Princess Sisi and the others tonight. Princess Sisi and Princess Lirou are not simple people. It might be useful to you in the future if you build a better relationship with them. "
"Oh yeah, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten to ask. I think that Lirou is a little unfathomable. How much do you know about her? "
"Hehe, I knew Sister Jing'er wouldn't tell you. Lirou was one of them. Other than her identity as the imperial princess of the Kuga Empire, she was also the granddaughter of the president of the Fagura Association, so she was extremely talented in business. Because there are often people who compare her with Sister Jing'er, the relationship between her and Sister Jing'er is not that good. They have both criticized each other in public. " Chendong laughed.
Lee Xun was aware that the Fagura Merchant Guild's headquarters was located in the heart of one of the three major economies, Agamemnon City. It was around the same size as Fengxiang Chamber of Commerce, but he never expected that Shangguan Jing'er had such a stage. Lee Xun snickered, he must ask Shangguan Jing'er what exactly was going on, it must definitely be very interesting.
