Chapter 290: Chapter 0290: Driven Mad by Deception_1
"I promise I won’t kill you. Hurry up and transfer the money..." Dakai Tanikawa could hardly contain his excitement as he immediately rattled off his account details.
Zhang Bin dawdled for a moment before taking out his phone, pretending to make the transfer.
"Master, you really trust them?" Ma Rufei asked.
"Brother Bin, I’m worried they won’t keep their word. They’ll probably kill us afterward to silence us. It would be better not to transfer the money. That way, even if they kill us, they won’t get a cent," Chen Chaoyue whispered into Zhang Bin’s ear.
"We can’t give up on even a sliver of hope. What if he actually keeps his word?" Zhang Bin said, putting on a foolish façade as he continued to fiddle with his phone.
Finally, he finished his act and said, "The money has been transferred to your account. Why don’t you check it?"
Dakai Tanikawa’s phone immediately buzzed with a new message: four billion USD had been deposited into his account.
He was so overjoyed he was practically manic. The smile on his face was extraordinarily bright as he let out a sinister laugh. "Not bad, not bad at all. I appreciate you transferring four billion USD to me so quickly."
Excitement and thrill spread across the faces of the masked men. They all stared at Zhang Bin as if he were the biggest fool in the world. They couldn’t believe such an idiot actually existed.
Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue, however, were puzzled. They knew full well that Zhang Bin couldn’t possibly have four billion USD. So how did he just transfer that much money? Could there be a catch?
They had guessed right. Zhang Bin had simply ordered Tutu to hack the Island Nation’s banking system and send Dakai Tanikawa a fake message. In reality, not only had Dakai Tanikawa not received any money, but the two hundred million USD and ten billion yen in his own account had just been transferred to Zhang Bin’s.
Zhang Bin was truly despicable, rotten to the core. If Dakai Tanikawa knew the truth, he would probably die of sheer rage on the spot.
"Since you’ve received the money, can you let us go now?" Zhang Bin asked with a wicked smile.
"Let you go? Of course. But I suspect you still have money in your account. So, please make another transfer. I’d like to see ten billion USD this time," Dakai Tanikawa said, his face a mask of greed.
"H-How did you know I still have ten billion USD in my account?" Zhang Bin asked, feigning shock and putting on a dumbfounded expression.
"Bwahaha..."
All the men from the Island Nation roared with laughter. Even the Genetically Enhanced Human, Shigeta Yokuito, was laughing so hard he nearly choked. They had never seen such a fool before; it was just too stupid.
They laughed for what felt like an eternity, showing no signs of stopping. By then, Zhang Bin had fully recovered from his injuries. "Stop laughing," he said impatiently. "I’ll transfer the money to you now. I trust that you’ll let us go afterward."
With that, he pretended to tap away at his phone. A moment later, Dakai Tanikawa’s phone buzzed again with a bank notification: another ten billion USD had been deposited into his account.
Instantly, Dakai Tanikawa went wild with joy. He danced around, laughing hysterically. "Hahaha... Hahaha... I’ve made fourteen billion USD today! I’m rich! I’m filthy rich!"
Fourteen billion USD was no small sum; it was a truly terrifying amount of money.
He had been running casinos for over a decade and hadn’t earned even a tenth of that amount. For an ordinary person, even working for a million years wouldn’t be enough to earn fourteen billion USD.
Thus, even a seasoned high-roller like Dakai Tanikawa was so ecstatic he was practically giddy.
"Aren’t you going to get out of our way?" Zhang Bin shouted at the casino experts surrounding them.
"Get out of your way? Bwahaha... As if!"
Everyone burst into hysterical laughter again.
"Hahaha..." Dakai Tanikawa was still laughing maniacally. "Since you’ve been so cooperative, I’ll be merciful and leave your corpses intact."
"You’re going back on your word?" Zhang Bin asked, feigning outrage.
"Hahaha... I have never seen anyone as foolish as you in my entire life. Let me tell you, you weren’t killed by us. You’re dying of your own stupidity!" Dakai Tanikawa roared with laughter.
"Follow me. We’re breaking out," Zhang Bin said with a grin. Two Cleaving Knives and a Bamboo Sword suddenly appeared in his hands. He tossed the knives to Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue. He didn’t seem tense at all; it was as if he didn’t take any of these people seriously.
"You have a Space Ring?" Ecstatic joy flashed across Dakai Tanikawa’s face again, his eyes burning with an intense light.
His heart began to pound unbearably. After all, a treasure like a Space Ring was exceedingly rare. Not even every cultivator at the Golden Core Realm possessed one.
Zhang Bin even suspected that the shock of such immense joy might drive Dakai Tanikawa mad.
However, as a Divine Doctor, he couldn’t bear to watch Dakai Tanikawa become a drooling imbecile. He took an Arrow Step forward, his Bamboo Sword striking out like a venomous snake.
SWISH!
The sound was piercing as sharp Sword Qi erupted from the blade, thrusting straight for Dakai Tanikawa’s throat.
"You’re seeking death!" The Genetically Enhanced Human, Shigeta Yokuito, leaped in front of Dakai Tanikawa. A sharp axe appeared in his hand, and he swung it wildly, trying to cleave Zhang Bin’s sword in two.
But Zhang Bin’s sword retracted with lightning speed, only to thrust out again. In a single breath, he unleashed dozens of strikes, stabbing at the wrists, chests, and faces of the casino experts who were rushing him.
Aaargh!
Piercing screams erupted as several experts collapsed to the ground.
"All of you, back off! I’ll handle him," Shigeta Yokuito roared. Once the experts had retreated, he brandished his axe and fearlessly engaged Zhang Bin in a fierce battle.
For a time, neither could gain an advantage. One wielded a ferocious axe with immense strength, while the other’s sword moved like lightning, constantly targeting his opponent’s wrists and other vital points. They fought for several minutes, yet their weapons never once clashed.
This was intentional on Zhang Bin’s part. His opponent’s strength was so great that his sword would likely be shattered or knocked from his grasp on impact.
"First, take out those two idiots!" Dakai Tanikawa shouted with a sneer, having already retreated to the rear.
The many experts obeyed and circled around, launching vicious attacks on Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue from behind. Fortunately, they both had weapons and could hold their ground for a moment.
But their situation was precarious. There were too many enemies, all powerful, swarming them like ants. Even if they fought desperately, how long could they last? If they were taken down, Zhang Bin would be doomed as well, since their enemies would be free to attack him from behind.
It’s over. The three of us are dead for sure today. Despair filled their hearts.
"Alright, game over," Zhang Bin chuckled strangely. "Now witness my ultimate move—Monkey Steals the Peach!"
