Chapter 1240: Invitation
DS, Shan, and Zhang Ya’Er were clearly celebrities in the poker arena. When they came down from the mezzanine level, quite a few people greeted them with smiles. Of course, Zhang Ya’Er was the most eye-catching, with her white pigeons and slender waist, plump and enticing hips. Which man wouldn’t want to take a few more glances?
Looking was one thing, but no one dared to step forward and make a joke. This woman’s ruthless methods were notorious!
LuuYong had his back to them, so naturally, he didn’t notice the changes around him. He was still guarding a big pile of gambling chips and having a great time! It was simply awesome!
Lin Tian had noticed them early on. As he looked at the three of them, their gazes also turned towards him, albeit with a hint of hostility.
"They’ve noticed," Lin Tian thought to himself.
Winning several tens of millions in one night, although a huge amount, wasn’t unusual in such a large poker arena. It rarely drew official attention from the poker arena. Moreover, dice gambling is one of the few gambling methods that can’t be rigged, and the old cheats watching the arena wouldn’t bother with it.
"Tian, those people seem to be coming for us," Wu Yong whispered to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian chuckled and said, "Hmm, it’s probably your face that’s causing trouble; I should’ve suggested wearing a mask."
Wu Yong rolled his eyes, "You dare to say that? Your face clearly attracts more trouble. Last time I went to another poker arena, there wasn’t this much fuss."
"We’ll deal with it as it comes," Lin Tian said, "Let’s observe quietly first."
Suddenly, LuuYong’s shoulder was tapped. When he turned around, he saw a blonde-haired, blue-eyed East Continent person looking at him with a smile. However, there wasn’t a trace of goodwill in that smile.
"Who are you?" LuuYong frowned.
"Haha, everyone calls me DS. You can call me that too. Actually, it’s nothing else, just wanted to invite a brother for a few rounds of other games. This dice game, while exciting, doesn’t engage the mind much. Why don’t we play something else?" DS laughed.
"No play!" LuuYong replied straightforwardly. He wasn’t stupid; why would he agree to such a request?
This foreigner appeared too suddenly and clearly wasn’t someone good. Besides, they didn’t invite anyone else but him, obviously targeting his pile of gambling chips. He understood the principle of ten gambles, nine cheats. How could he fall for it? Moreover, deciding on what to play wasn’t up to him.
"Haha, this brother is quite cautious. Relax a bit; we just came to invite you for a few rounds. If you don’t play, no one will force you. Besides... I also know your words don’t decide." Zhang Ya’Er smiled slightly, arms crossed in front of her, displaying her explosive figure even more.
LuuYong glanced at that explosive figure and immediately withdrew his gaze. He was surprised that she could see that his words didn’t carry weight.
Before LuuYong could speak, Zhang Ya’Er walked over to the side of the gambling table and stood in front of Lin Tian with a smiling face, saying, "Hello, Mr. Lin. Let me introduce myself first. I’m Zhang Ya’Er. I’ve always heard that you’re very skilled in gambling. It’s a pleasure to have you here today; I hope you excuse any lack of hospitality."
Lin Tian nodded with a smile, "No problem, I’m just here for a visit. This place... isn’t bad."
"I hope you come often. Since we’re meeting today, let’s get acquainted." After she finished speaking, she extended her right hand, wanting to shake hands.
Lin Tian didn’t know the woman in front of him, but it’s undeniable that a fiery beauty enjoys privileges - at least she makes a good first impression. If DS, that little blonde, were the one standing in front of Lin Tian, he might not have paid any attention.
"Zhang Ya’Er, a good name." Lin Tian gently squeezed her soft, boneless hand and then quickly released it.
Zhang Ya’Er smiled and said, "Your friend here has quite the lucky streak today. In the blink of an eye, he’s turned his stake nearly 20 times over."
Through the words of this beautiful lady, Lin Tian could confirm that they were targeted from the moment they entered the poker arena, but so what?
"Hmm, I think I have quite good luck too. Didn’t expect to have an encounter here." Lin Tian spoke with a smile, his gaze falling on her impressive chest, seemingly unable to pull himself away. He ended with, "So white!"
This scene made those around watch with hearts pounding, wondering if he could bear the consequences of teasing Zhang Ya’Er so boldly?
To everyone’s surprise, Zhang Ya’Er didn’t get angry or cover up but said with a smile, "Maybe Mr. Lin doesn’t find me appealing?"
"Not quite appealing. It’s pretty white; as for pink, I’m not sure." Lin Tian’s gaze drifted towards her legs.
Previously, Zhang Ya’Er could banter with Lin Tian, but after hearing such explicit and mocking teasing, her face changed, at least that smile disappeared.
"Is Miss Zhang here to invite me for a few games?" Lin Tian asked with a smile, looking at her face.
Their eyes met. Although neither had torn their facade, the tension was palpable. Zhang Ya’Er glanced at him, but don’t know why, she immediately looked away, feeling uncomfortable to make eye contact with him.
Before Zhang Ya’Er could answer, DS spoke first, "Yes, I’ve heard that Mr. Lin has amazing gambling skills, rare to see, and wanted to learn a thing or two."
"Who do you think you are? Is it your place to speak?" Wu Yong interjected, not forgetting to give that foreigner a taunting look. Those white people looked down on Celestial Dragon Continent people, so Wu Yong naturally wasn’t friendly towards him.
Being retorted like that, DS immediately felt embarrassed, wanting to explode but was held back by Shan.
Lin Tian acted as if he didn’t notice the confrontation, just smiled and said, "Today’s luck is quite good, just won a little. However, people should learn to be content, right? This bit of money is enough for a late-night snack; no need to continue playing. Small gambles are pleasant, large gambles are harmful."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ya’Er’s face twitched; no matter how well she maintained her composure, she couldn’t help but want to curse.
Winning nearly 40 million, still calling it a small gamble? Only enough for a late-night snack?
That’s the best boasting imaginable!
"I know that Mr. Lin doesn’t care for 40 million, but only played for a short while and already leaving? That’s a real buzzkill; besides, your luck is hot right now, why not win some more?" Zhang Ya’Er laughed.
The smile on Lin Tian’s face suddenly disappeared, turning gloomy as he said, "What? Does your poker arena only let people lose, not win? Seeing this stance, unless the money is lost, you’re not planning to let us leave? Your poker arena is really overbearing!"
