Chapter 365 The Game with Masks!
After exchanging for the chips, Manager Wang personally came back with the tray.
Song Yun casually grabbed a handful and tossed them onto the table, saying indifferently, "I'm going to have some fun playing a few rounds later, this bit of cash you can all take and enjoy yourselves."
"This... This must be four to five hundred thousand, right... you're really giving it to us?"
Duo Duo stared at the pattern carved on the chips, her eyes gleaming with gold.
She had accompanied big bosses here before, but every time it was the bosses who played, while she just sat by the side peacefully, being nothing more than a vase.
Actually letting her personally spend tens or even hundreds of thousands to indulge, she would be rather reluctant to do so.
"Why would I deceive you? Alright, this little amount of money isn't even enough for a meal for this young master, take it and go find your fun," Song Yun brushed it off.
After sending the three girls and Ouyang Jie away, Song Yun lit a cigarette and excitedly said to Manager Wang, "Shall we go take care of some serious business now?"
"Alright... Please follow me..."
Clearly, Manager Wang had been greatly taken aback by the way Song Yun threw down the chips. A whale like him might only appear a few times a year in the casino, but those few times are all about the casino's big clients!
It looked like today was Manager Wang's lucky day for getting promoted and becoming rich! As long as he took good care of Mr. Song Yun in front of him, his year-end bonus could possibly break one million!!!
With an excited heart, Manager Wang led the way carefully, and the two of them went upstairs, arriving in front of a dark wooden door that was three meters high and carved with patterns.
Manager Wang knocked on the door, and it slowly opened, revealing a man wearing a mask on the inside.
"This is a VIP today, here to join the big game, please see to his accommodations!" Manager Wang said with a chuckle.
The man sized up Song Yun from head to toe, immediately estimating the value of Song Yun's attire to be no less than a million!
It seems Manager Wang has met a stroke of luck!
"Hello, I am the person in charge here, you can call me White Face. The game will start in ten minutes, please come with me."
White Face made a low bow as an invitation to Song Yun.
Song Yun was busy curiously looking around on his own.
Inside was a lounge that spanned over three hundred square meters, furnished with various precious antiques and famous calligraphy and paintings.
At this moment, White Face opened a shelf to the side, took out a black patterned mask and handed it to Song Yun, saying, "We welcome guests with status here, and some big bosses don't like to show their faces, so everyone wears a mask to keep their identity hidden and to prevent the outcomes of the game from spilling outside."
Song Yun really liked this idea, as others might not love the spotlight, he preferred it even less.
Thus, he put on the mask and followed White Face through the lounge to an inner suite.
After White Face opened the door, Song Yun saw that there were already more than ten people sitting around a large table.
These people all obviously paused for a moment when they saw Song Yun come in.
"White Face, wasn't it just us today? How come there's a newcomer all of a sudden?" a woman wearing a pink mask said.
White Face quickly bowed and said apologetically, "Sister, this gentleman is also a big client of our casino, and he has enough qualifications to participate. Moreover, he was personally asked to join by someone from above, I dared not refuse. I assure you, this gentleman's worth is not lower than anyone present here."

The woman in the pink mask just snorted coldly to herself and said nothing more.
The rest, however, looked at Song Yun with curious eyes.
"Hello, I've been participating since the very first game and am a familiar face here, if you don't mind, just call me Brother Black."
A burly man wearing a mask of the same color as Song Yun's walked up to Song Yun with a chuckle and extended his hand.
After shaking hands, Song Yun said indifferently, "If today proves to be enjoyable, I'm sure we can meet again at the next game."
"Hahaha, my young friend, you've spoken right to my heart. I wonder what kind of business you're in on the outside, if there's any..."
"Hei Ge, that's crossing the line."
A man wearing a Pigsy mask said in a muffled voice, "Everyone who entered today is without identity, so it's not good to pry like this."
After being called out, Hei Ge noticeably restrained his anger behind his mask. Everyone here holds a high position, and they would be surrounded by sycophants on ordinary days, who shower them with flattery. Anyone who dares to contradict them is unlikely to meet a good end.
But in this place, everyone is the same, and even if they are angry, there's nowhere to vent it.
Bai Lian played peacemaker and said with a laugh, "It's about time. I ask everyone to return to their seats; we're about to start today's game."
After finishing, he personally found a seat for Song Yun and deliberately placed him next to Pigsy.
Once he was done with these tasks, Bai Lian went out to arrange for the dealers to come in.
"Kid, keep your eyes peeled. Nobody playing here is an easy opponent. If you reveal your own identity, it may be fine if you lose money, but if you win, you might get robbed when you go back to your hotel tonight."
Pigsy said while fiddling single-handedly with the chips in front of him.
"Old Pig, I've tolerated you for a long time! Every time we join a card session, you always undermine me! Why don't we reveal our identities now? Let's see whether your skills are greater or my fists are harder!"
Hei Ge suddenly slammed the table and stood up, roaring.
"Yo-yo-yo, I can't compare with you. Since Hei Ge has spoken, I, Old Pig, will shut up."
Though Pigsy spoke as if yielding, his actions were still as indifferent as ever.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Just as the tension between the two was about to erupt, the door behind the card table opened, and a woman dressed in a kimono walked out gracefully.
This woman wasn't wearing a mask and had a seductive charm with her bright eyes and white teeth.
"Why so hot-tempered, gentlemen? How about giving me some face?"
After this woman spoke, both Pigsy and Hei Ge simultaneously fell silent.
"Gentlemen, harmony brings wealth, so let's now choose the game we'll play today."
The woman laughed flirtatiously and then spun a nearby wheel, with the pointer eventually landing on "Exploding Golden Flower."
"You must be new here, young man. Do you know how to play Exploding Golden Flower?"
She asked Song Yun with a beaming smile.
"There's nothing I don't excel at."
Upon hearing this, she gave Song Yun a seductive look and said, "Then I hope the young boss makes a fortune today, so we can meet tonight~"
"???"
Song Yun looked at Pigsy, puzzled, but Pigsy's eyes seemed to be trying to burrow through the gaps in the dealer's garment.
"Bro, is there any knack to winning money here?"
Song Yun asked, curious.
"Didn't Bai Lian tell you?"
Pigsy replied in surprise, "Whoever is the winner today can take out the dealer of the day without spending a penny. Brother, let me tell you, this woman is named Xing Zi, and she is a real beauty! I once had the good fortune to win a game, and oh, that experience, tsk tsk!"
