Chapter 287: Chapter 0287: Special Ability vs. Special Ability_1
"Initiate the mahjong machine control program..." Dakai Tanikawa ordered frantically.
The automatic mahjong machines in the casino all had special control programs. Once initiated, the shuffling and the rolling of dice would be controlled to allow only the casino’s personnel to draw good tiles. They had relied on this trick in the past to win countless fortunes.
However, the trick proved useless today, as Noda Sayuri still drew a winning hand herself. With three consecutive heavenly hands, she won another thirty-six million USD.
Noda Sayuri was already trembling; she felt something ominous was happening. If she kept winning like this, the casino staff would surely kill her.
Everyone was baffled again, and even the casino boss, Dakai Tanikawa, was completely stunned. Many of the gambling experts watching from the monitoring room were also shocked, unable to comprehend what was going on. They couldn’t understand how that bastard could keep winning with heavenly hands without even playing.
The PR manager, Kyoko Fujita, was no longer in the mood for dalliances with Zhang Bin. She escaped his embrace and demanded angrily, "How the hell did you do that?"
Of course, Zhang Bin had instructed Tutu to take control of the mahjong machine, but how could he possibly admit it? So, naturally, he played dumb, pretending not to understand. Kyoko Fujita was so angry she almost spat blood.
Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue, however, thought Zhang Bin genuinely didn’t know, so they came over to explain in low voices.
"Damn, is Noda Sayuri really that lucky? She won so much?" Zhang Bin’s face lit up with excitement as he jumped to his feet. "No more, no more! If we keep winning like this, the casino won’t be able to take it."
"What the hell? Quitting just because you’re winning? Is that even a thing?"
Everyone was so annoyed they nearly fainted. What they didn’t know was that Zhang Bin was genuinely afraid the casino couldn’t produce that much money, so he thought it best to quit while he was ahead. He had never even considered the possibility of losing. The only exception would be if they gambled with playing cards, which he couldn’t control. But he wasn’t a fool; he naturally wouldn’t bet on anything he wasn’t sure of.
"We haven’t even been here an hour. Let’s have some more fun. How about betting on dice? Guessing the total?" Kyoko Fujita suggested seductively, clearly following instructions.
"If we’re gambling, it’s mahjong or nothing," Zhang Bin said decisively.
The crowd looked at each other in dismay. Of course, they didn’t dare to continue playing mahjong; it was too frightening. Noda Sayuri’s luck was simply too good. No, that couldn’t be it... They would rather believe Zhang Bin was cheating, but they couldn’t find any evidence. Since that was the case, playing mahjong was out of the question.
In the end, the casino conceded defeat and transferred one hundred sixty-four million USD into Zhang Bin’s account.
The four beauties refused to join them for a late-night meal, and the PR manager, Hisako Otake, also declined. Zhang Bin then pulled the still somewhat dazed Noda Sayuri along with Ma Rufei and Chen Chaoyue, and they strode out of the casino.
Watching the trio leave, Dakai Tanikawa roared furiously, "Follow them! Apprehend them, make them spit out the money, and then dump them in the sea!"
"Yes, boss," several of his subordinates responded with fierce grins.
"Let me go, I want to go home," Noda Sayuri said shyly, sobering up as soon as they left the casino.
"Noda Sayuri, you should come stay at the hotel with me..." Zhang Bin said with a leering smile.
"No, no, no! I told you I wouldn’t sleep with you!" Noda Sayuri said in a panic.
"You won too much, so they might take their anger out on you. You’ll only be safe with us," Zhang Bin said earnestly, not wanting to involve the innocent woman.
"Being with you is the real danger!" Noda Sayuri insisted on leaving, clearly terrified of the three men.
"Alright then, be careful. If you run into any trouble within three days, come find me at this hotel..." Zhang Bin didn’t insist further and gave her a reward of fifty thousand USD.
"Thank you. You all should leave quickly now," Noda Sayuri said before hurrying away.
"Master, why did you let such a stunning beauty walk away?" Ma Rufei asked, his face a blend of confusion and regret.
"I can’t force her, can I?" Zhang Bin replied.
"I get it, Brother Bin. You’re playing the long game, fishing for a big catch, waiting for her to fall in love with you," Chen Chaoyue said, his imagination running wild as he chuckled mischievously.
"I didn’t make her fall for me in one night, so my charm must be lacking. Sigh..." Zhang Bin sighed before adding, "But she’ll fall for me sooner or later. I’m a nugget of gold; it’s hard not to shine."
PFFT...
His two friends burst out laughing, not believing for a second that Zhang Bin and Noda Sayuri would ever cross paths again.
Elated from winning so much money, they walked on with their arms slung over each other’s shoulders. Somehow, they wandered into a dead-end alley. Suddenly, a gang of sabre-wielding masked men rushed in, trapping them. Their eyes were filled with ferocity, and they radiated murderous and ominous auras. They all looked very strong, and there might even be powerful Superpower Users among them.
It was only then that the trio regained their senses. "Not good," Chen Chaoyue said nervously. "This is an Illusory Realm created by a Mesmerizing Ability User. They led us into this alley."
"Mesmerizing Ability?" Zhang Bin was astonished. It was the first time he had ever heard of such a Special Ability.
Although he had Tutu, a wondrous treasure that could reveal many secrets, he hadn’t joined any Special Ability Organization. He was only interested in his own Special Ability and had always been focused on training it to its fullest potential, without paying much attention to other Special Abilities.
"Hah hah... So, one of you knows their stuff? You know about the Mesmerizing Ability, huh? Not bad, not bad," the lead masked man said with a sinister laugh. "We won’t make it too hard on you. Just hand over the money you won, and we’ll let you go. Otherwise, you’ll soon be shark excrement."
"You think you have us cornered? Believe it or not, I could take all of you down today!" Chen Chaoyue’s body suddenly erupted with a dazzling golden light, as if he were made of solid gold. A terrifying aura burst forth from within him, surging out and completely flooding the small alley.
"You’re an A-Class Strength Ability User?" Fear was evident on the faces of all the masked men, and their leader’s voice was filled with astonishment.
The Strength Ability was a very flashy and powerful type of Special Ability that could turn its user into a fearsome powerhouse. Chen Chaoyue’s Strength Ability was A-level, which was truly formidable. He was only twenty years old, a few months younger than Zhang Bin, which made it clear that he was a Supreme Genius among Superpower Users.
Incredibly, Ma Rufei also began to emit a powerful aura as his skin changed color, taking on the appearance of steel. Standing shoulder to shoulder with Chen Chaoyue, he exuded immense confidence. "Master, you don’t have to do anything. Watch the two of us take care of them."
It turned out that Ma Rufei was also a Superpower User, and his Special Ability seemed to be a very impressive Defensive Ability, much to Zhang Bin’s surprise.
