549: Chapter 544: The Black Fist Casino 549: Chapter 544: The Black Fist Casino “I can wait!”
Ye Tian firmly said, and then he sat down.
The manager’s face was filled with anguish, actually encountering such a client who, despite being immensely wealthy, insisted on stubbornly lingering in the bank.
“But, but…”
The manager felt exceptionally uncomfortable, but seeing Ye Tian’s serious expression, he knew this client was very difficult to deal with, so he could only comply with Ye Tian’s wishes.
“Then, sir, I’ll go prepare the cash right away!”
With that, the manager left; he had to personally prepare the 10 million Rubles that Ye Tian needed.
Ye Tian quietly waited inside the bank.
After all, as a super-wealthy client, the bank’s staff dared not neglect Ye Tian.
They brought him delicious food and bedding for sleeping.
Ye Tian wasn’t shy; he ate and then slept…
Early the next morning, Ye Tian woke up, but the bank manager still hadn’t prepared the money.
However, his actions had suddenly made him famous in the small town of Chekhalov.
Actually, residents had specially come to the bank to watch the excitement, all wanting to see who this person with a universally accepted black card, who came to withdraw a huge sum from a small bank, was.
Seeing that Ye Tian was a Chinese person, the crowd of residents began to discuss…
“Really odd, why would a Chinese person come here to withdraw money?
And such a wealthy person, what are they doing in this small town?”
“That’s right!
It’s so cold in Chekhalov all year round that you can hardly go outside, and there aren’t any famous attractions, it’s really puzzling what he is thinking.”
“Who knows?
The thinking of rich people is often very strange!”
…
Regarding these discussions, Ye Tian didn’t care too much, and for him at this moment, these rumors were necessary.
The bank employee who had been accompanying Ye Tian carefully asked, “Sir, you’ve come all the way to Chekhalov and withdrawn so much money, what exactly are you here for?”
Ye Tian smiled and said, “Actually, I don’t know either.
When a person has enough wealth, the most troublesome thing is thinking about how to spend it.
So, this time I’ve come here to withdraw money and to spend it!”
“This, this…”
Ye Tian’s reply left the employee flabbergasted, in this world there really were such people.
Rich and capricious!
Of course, the employee wouldn’t shamelessly ask Ye Tian for a tip, but he did share Ye Tian’s words with others…
After waiting a few more hours and having lunch, the bank manager who left yesterday finally came back.
“Sir, thank you for waiting!”
In the manager’s hand was a black briefcase, which he directly opened up in front of Ye Tian.
Inside were stacks and stacks of bills!
“Sir, here’s your 10 million Rubles, I will count them for you right away.”
With that, the manager brought the money counting machine and began to verify each bill for Ye Tian, one by one.
Naturally, the money was real, and Ye Tian quietly waited, letting the manager verify every single bill.
By now, quite a crowd had gathered around Ye Tian, and the bank had sent security to maintain order at the scene.
It took quite a long time, but the 10 million Rubles were finally counted.
The manager carefully placed the money back into the briefcase and personally handed it to Ye Tian.
“Sir, please take care on your journey, and welcome to come again!”
Ye Tian left the small bank carrying the briefcase, with all eyes watching him.
The residents of Chekhalov town behind him were pointing and murmuring, some thinking Ye Tian was putting on a show, others believing there was something wrong with his head.
Even more radical ones actually took out weapons like daggers…
“That guy’s alone, and he has 10 million Rubles in his briefcase.
What if we rob him?”
“Probably not a good idea.
If that Chinese man dares to withdraw so much money, he’s definitely not afraid of being robbed.
Chances are, there are a lot of bodyguards lurking around.”
Although many were green with envy, no one actually dared to rob him.
Ye Tian dragged the briefcase and slowly arrived at a narrow alley that barely allowed one person to pass through.
After passing through the cramped alleyway, Ye Tian saw a man at the exit of the lane!
The man had a burly figure; even in the cold extreme of Chekhalov town, he was only wearing a black suit and sunglasses.
“Sir, may I have a word with you?”
The man politely said to Ye Tian.
Ye Tian smiled and said, “Are you thinking of making a play for my money?”
“Sir, please don’t misunderstand.
I guess you must be the same kind of person as me, so I made a point of inviting you!”
“The same kind of person?” Ye Tian looked coldly at the man before him, but did not refuse and directly asked, “Why do you think we are the same kind of person?”
The man continued, “Sir, my name is Ivan, and I am a gambler!”
“A gambler?”
Ye Tian listened to this title and raised his eyebrows, showing his great interest.
“Mister, although money is almighty, too much of it can leave a person feeling empty.
So instead of living with a great deal of money, it’s better to seek excitement.
There’s nothing more thrilling than gambling!” Ivan continued.
“Go on!”
Encouraged by Ivan’s words, Ye Tian showed a bit of interest.
“Yes, sir, if you’re after that kind of feeling, I can guide you.
In this small town, there’s one of the best gambling venues in the world!”
Ivan expressed himself passionately, but Ye Tian slightly shook his head and said, “I’ve been to Las Vegas and Macau many times, but not once have I felt the thrill you’re talking about.
This small town, what does it have that’s ‘the best gambling venue in the world’?”
“No, sir!
I’m not deceiving you, if you don’t mind, please follow me!” Ivan urged eagerly, and after a brief consideration, Ye Tian nodded.
“Alright, lead the way!”
“No problem!”
Ivan then took the lead, arriving at the outskirts of Chekhalov, where the city of ice and snow was eerily quiet, the only sight being the dense coniferous forest.
However, Ivan led the way with ease, guiding Ye Tian into the thick coniferous woods.
After walking some distance, they came to a clearing in the forest, where against all odds stood a small hut with a faint light shimmering inside.
Hanging on the front door was a sign, not with words, but an image of a bear paw.
Ivan ushered Ye Tian into the hut, where an elderly man in a thick winter coat was sitting.
The old man had a sharp gaze; he looked at Ivan, then at Ye Tian, and finally, his eyes settled on the briefcase in Ye Tian’s hand.
“This gentleman is here to seek thrills!” Ivan hastily explained, and the old man nodded before pressing a red button beside him.
Suddenly, the entrance to a basement appeared on the ground, and Ivan led Ye Tian down into it.
While the entrance seemed a bit narrow, the space opened up as they went further inside.
Ye Tian was also quite surprised that such a vast space could exist underground.
“Sir, we’re almost there!” Ivan said with a smile.
Ye Tian could already hear cheering nearby.
Following the sound, the light ahead grew brighter, and at last, they arrived at a spacious hall.
The hall was as large as a football field, almost inconceivable as an underground construction!
In the center of the hall, there was a ring where two men were fighting desperately.
Both were covered in wounds, but they were still fiercely executing killing moves.
Below the ring, the audience was cheering jubilantly, each shouting at the top of their lungs, nearly shaking the hall to pieces…
“Sir, this is the world’s largest underground boxing gambling market.
There’s nothing more suitable for seeking thrills,” Ivan boasted, then introduced Ye Tian to a companion at the door.
His companion was also dressed in a black suit, tall and muscular, a figure composed entirely of muscle!
“Sir, this way, please!” The man in the black suit quickly led Ye Tian, such a distinguished guest, into a luxurious private box.
The box had a great environment and offered an excellent view.
The two men who had just fought on the ring had already settled their match; one had been beaten to death on the spot, while the other was also badly injured, left with barely half a life, carried off on a stretcher.
“Hello, handsome man!”
As Ye Tian watched the two new fighters on the ring, a woman in a red dress with a curvaceous figure slowly walked into the private box.
“Handsome man?
You do have good taste, miss!”
Ye Tian smiled, knowing that this woman was sent by the boxing market to accompany him.
He didn’t hesitate, and wrapped his arms around the woman’s slender waist.
A strong perfume scent hit him.
Russian women, naturally bold, tend to prefer stronger perfumes, which is somewhat different from the women back home.
“My name is Jenny, mister, is this your first time here?”
Jenny wriggled into position, sitting down on Ye Tian’s lap.
Ye Tian took a glance at Jenny; while she couldn’t compare to Yun Xinyan and his other women, she was not bad at all for a small city in Siberia.
“Of course, it’s my first time.
I came to seek thrills,” Ye Tian replied with a smile.
Jenny snatched the briefcase from his hand and asked, “Would you mind if I placed bets for you?”
“Not at all.”
Ye Tian did not object and readily agreed.
Jenny sighed and said, “That guy Ivan, managing to find such a top-quality guest…
Had I known, I would’ve roamed the town today too.
He’s going to make a good amount of money from this time.”
“Heh, is that so?”
Jenny’s complaints about Ivan didn’t interest Ye Tian.
“No matter whether I lose or win the bet, I’ll give you double what Ivan gets.
How about that?” Ye Tian offered with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Jenny was too excited to speak.
She had never met such a generous guest.
He was simply too magnanimous!
Jenny couldn’t help but take another two looks at Ye Tian.
She was Russian and normally looked down on the Chinese, but Ye Tian in front of her was something else.
