"Ha ha... Xiao Zhao, please don't take offense. Tiger is new here and made some mistakes; I hope you can be understanding. I wonder if Xiao Zhao would be interested in working at the Casino. With your capabilities, you wouldn't need to come in every day; you could only be called in for emergencies. As for the salary, we can consider it based on the Deputy General Manager's pay, which is forty million a year. Of course, we can negotiate the price." The Manager, seeing that the small talk was over, dropped a heavy bombshell, clearly valuing Lin Feng's gambling skills.
Perhaps the Dealer at the gambling table couldn't see anything unusual, but if the Manager who watched the entire process from the surveillance room couldn't figure it out either, then he would have wasted his time. Although he couldn't tell how Lin Feng controlled the dice, the Manager still wanted to keep him around. He believed that as long as Lin Feng was willing to stay, it would become possible to learn that strange method of controlling the dice.
As for how to obtain it, the Manager thought that as long as Lin Feng stayed, he had at least a hundred ways to make him reveal that method. The reason he wasn't using forceful tactics now was due to concerns about certain powers that might be backing Lin Feng.
There were indeed powerful forces behind the Casino, but they were not invincible. That was why the Manager opted for a soft approach; even if he knew there were forces behind Lin Feng, it would still be because of money that Lin Feng chose to stay, thus avoiding offending any particular faction.
"Ha ha... I'm grateful for Uncle Xie's regard, but I really only made this money by luck. I fear I cannot accept such high praise from you. I hope I haven't disappointed you too much." Lin Feng guessed the other party's intentions quite accurately and naturally rejected the proposal.
Right now, he just wanted to take his money and leave; there was no way he would stay. If getting twenty million was so difficult, he certainly didn't believe that the seemingly empty promise of forty million a year would be any easier to obtain.
Moreover, even if they genuinely wanted to cooperate with him, Lin Feng wouldn't agree. It wasn't just a matter of money; he understood that gambling was never a legitimate path. With his rebirth advantage and the magical ring in hand, Lin Feng believed he could definitely find a legitimate way to make real money.
In this world, while quick money might come from shady dealings, the most substantial profits would always belong to those who walked the righteous path.
"You..." Seeing Lin Feng refuse outright, Tiger was about to take action against him.
As for Tiger's move, Lin Feng remained still. He knew that any action from Tiger was likely under the instruction of the Manager. After all, how could a subordinate act on their own without their superior's say-so? Perhaps it happened sometimes, but it certainly shouldn't occur in front of this seemingly ordinary man with sharp eyes.
So, Lin Feng waited; he was waiting for the other party to call off Tiger. Even if they didn't intervene, he was confident he could evade Tiger's grasp, stash the money from his suitcase into the magical ring, and then escape. At that point, there would be no need for politeness.
Sure enough, before Tiger and Lin Feng could make contact, the Manager, who had been watching Tiger without any sign of panic on his face, suddenly shouted, "What are you, Tiger, to treat a guest like this?" After saying that, he stepped forward and slapped Tiger twice, causing Tiger's face to swell immediately.
Seeing that the other two were acting but had resorted to real violence, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation. However, from the Manager's actions, he could tell that the other party did not want to offend him—at least not on the surface.
With this information, Lin Feng felt a sense of relief but also some concern; it seemed that his abilities were indeed being taken seriously by them.
While he wasn't afraid of thieves stealing from him, he was worried about their intentions. Lin Feng began to feel anxious about the potential consequences of his recklessness.
But soon enough, he calmed down. He understood the various tactics employed by the Casino. After all, as long as he came to gamble once every ten days or so, it would be enough for the Casino to tolerate him. It was only natural for them to use various means for that.
"Uncle Xie, can I take this money now?" This time, Lin Feng didn't say anything like "it's okay." If he continued to act weak in response to Tiger's behavior, it would be too spineless. More importantly, since Lin Feng had crafted an image of himself as a member of a prominent family, a bit of arrogance was necessary.
"Oh, it seems my establishment is too small to accommodate you. I won't force it; I hope we can be friends in the future." The Manager, seeing Lin Feng's dissatisfaction with Tiger, didn't try to keep him any longer. However, Lin Feng still sensed a flash of sharpness in his eyes through his tenfold enhanced Mental Power.
"Yes, we will be friends. I'm leaving now." With that, Lin Feng no longer lingered. He picked up his suitcase and left. To be cautious, at the moment he grabbed the suitcase, he had already transferred the money into the magic ring on his right hand. The harsh reality left no room for carelessness; who knew what the other party was plotting?
The same two Brutes "escorted" Lin Feng out of the Manager's Office and down the stairs. At this point, Lin Feng remained vigilant and maintained a steady pace; who knew if they were still watching him from the surveillance room?
To his surprise, when he reached the ground floor, he saw Li Zhong and Chen Sheng looking at him. As for Chen Sheng, Lin Feng didn't want to deal with him and considered him just a passerby. However, seeing Li Zhong was unexpected—though only slightly so. At that moment, Lin Feng didn't want to engage with anyone; he just wanted to leave this cursed place—a place filled with monetary temptation yet riddled with traps.
Soon enough, Lin Feng exited the Casino. Although he was outside now, he knew that did not mean he was safe. On the contrary, if they intended to go after him, this was a prime opportunity since there were no prying eyes from most gamblers here.
Indeed, it wasn't long before Lin Feng felt a gaze from the second floor of the Casino. Drawing on years of mercenary experience from his past life and his current tenfold enhanced Mental Power, he knew that it wasn't a sniper rifle aimed at him.
So, Lin Feng did not look up but instead maximized the release of his Mental Power. In the end, feeling uneasy, he even let Tesla out. With this guy's expression of Mental Power being many times stronger than Lin Feng's, Lin Feng knew that Tesla could sense any danger ahead of him and alert him.
As for why Tesla would warn Lin Feng, it was simple. Although Tesla always acted indifferent towards Lin Feng, he was very clear in his heart that if Lin Feng were to die, he would be forever trapped in the magic ring, unable to see the light of day. Unless another fortunate person obtained the magic ring and possessed a Mental Power ten times that of an ordinary person, it would be futile; Tesla's fate of being imprisoned would remain unchanged.
Therefore, Lin Feng was confident that Tesla would diligently keep watch over him.
"Kid, there are four people approaching you from behind. Based on my perception, those four should be quite capable." Sure enough, Tesla's voice confirmed Lin Feng's suspicion; the people from the Casino were not willing to let him take away twenty million just like that!
What was meant to come would still come. At this point, Lin Feng was not afraid; a surge of adrenaline made him feel exhilarated and ready to unleash his full potential.
Bring it on! It seemed that problems still had to be solved with force! Grandpa Feng had been holding back for too long tonight...
