Chapter 319: High Table Meeting Councilor

~11 min read 2,084 words

All the personnel of the Ao Continent's Golden Coast have been killed; Gao Jin still needs to inform them and explain clearly.

And also let the mastermind behind it feel the taste of fear.

The people of the Ao Continent's Golden Coast are not easy to provoke.

Gao Jin touched his ring; it's obvious who did this without even thinking.

"Good master, are you ready?"

Immediately picked up the phone and dialed the number of the person in charge of Ao Continent.

"Mr. Wells, the bodyguards you sent have all perished."

Wells's face showed anger, but his tone remained steady as he said: "Mr. Gao, this has nothing to do with you; they were simply outmatched, and the Golden Coast has the courage to admit defeat."

"Can you call me to prove you're alright, tell me the clues about the perpetrators; if they dare to act against the Golden Coast, they must be prepared to face retaliation."

"The face of the Golden Coast isn't something just anyone can strike."

Gao Jin's mouth curled into a slight smile: "Mr. Wells, these assassins are all Vietnamese people; as for who the culprit is, that's for you to investigate."

"After all, I'm just a gambler, with no connections in that regard."

"Mr. Gao, you're correct; I'll send people over right away. Don't let anyone clean up the scene—we need the most detailed information."

"No problem, I'll be waiting for you."

Gao Jin hung up the phone, looking at the gruesome scene in the villa, feeling a headache; this matter is somewhat troublesome!

The Ao Continent people were killed by those assassins, and those assassins were then cleaned up by those mysterious people.

This is like the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; then what am I?

Bait?

The Ao Continent people arrived quickly; upon meeting, Wells first apologized: "Mr. Gao, due to our negligence, we have caused you trouble; please forgive us."

"Mr. Wells, now is not the time to talk about this; let your people first examine the scene."

Wells waved his hand, and the people behind him entered the villa in single file to inspect the situation inside.

It's clear these people are very professional, measuring the positions of the killed, performing various knife or shooting simulations.

"Mr. Wells, our personnel were all killed by the assassins inside the villa."

"The assassins' weapons can prove this."

"But!"

"But what?"

"If there's something, speak quickly; Mr. Gao is a friend of the Golden Coast and has the right to be informed."

Wells said impatiently, his mood very irritable, feeling that this situation has gone completely wrong!

Upon arriving at Aodao, half of the personnel we brought have been lost.

"Okay, Mr. Wells."

"Mr. Gao, may I ask a question?"

"Please go ahead."

"The scene here indicates that there is another batch of more elite personnel behind; are they Mr. Gao's friends?"

"I don't know them either; after they killed the assassins, they didn't mention any conditions and just left; I don't know who they are."

This person nodded, listened to Gao Jin's explanation, then looked at Wells and said.

"Mr. Wells, these assassins could be members of the Vietnamese Monkey Assassin Group; they all have turtle tattoos on their wrists."

"Only they would use a turtle tattoo on the wrist to represent identity."

"The final personnel that appeared, whether friend or foe, I'm not confident I can withstand their attack; I need headquarters' support."

Wells's expression changed in surprise; he clearly knows this person's strength, even he can't withstand them—it seems those final people are definitely not easy to deal with!

"You bring people to stay here and protect Mr. Gao; when I return, I'll have headquarters send people over."

"Okay, Mr. Wells."

"Mr. Gao, Huoqiang is a top expert at the Continental Hotel; for your safety, let him stay here to protect you until the God of Gambling Competition ends."

"Thank you, Mr. Wells; respect is less important than obedience."

Wells nodded, then directly left the villa with two bodyguards.

Returning to his residence, he picked up the phone and directly called the Golden Coast.

At this moment, as long as international long-distance service is enabled, Aodao can make international calls.

"Councilor, the personnel I brought have suffered more than half losses; I need expert reinforcement."

"Who did it?"

"The Vietnamese Monkey Assassin Group."

"Understood; I will send experts over. This time, securing the concession for the Aodao casino is a must—this is a top priority."

"This is the stepping stone for our advance into Southeast Asia; if something goes wrong, you know what the consequences are."

"Understood."

Wells hung up the phone, wiped a sweat from his forehead; the pressure from the councilor is too great!

……

Pu Jing Duchang.

Li Xin was playing chess in the suite with A Bu; he already knew how from a previous life, learned from an old man in the same neighborhood.

Well, he just knows the basic rules: horses move like the shape of the Chinese character for 'sun', elephants like the shape of the character for 'field', cannons fire by jumping over an intervening piece.

Whenever he has a day off, he plays with these old men, and a session lasts a whole day.

Playing a day loses a day; those old men are unwilling to play with him.

A Bu carefully examined the board, furrowed his brows, and asked doubtfully: "Boss, I feel something is off; where did my river-crossing pawn go?"

Li Xin glanced doubtfully at A Bu and said, "A Bu, you must have misremembered—didn't I capture that pawn?"

Interpretation: Li Xin looked doubtfully at A Bu, said: "A Bu ah, you misremembered? That pawn wasn't eaten by me?" Need to keep tone.

Li Xin glanced doubtfully at A Bu and said, "A Bu, you must have misremembered—didn't I capture that pawn?"

Li Xin glanced doubtfully at A Bu and said, "A Bu, you must have misremembered—didn't I capture that pawn?"

Li Xin glanced doubtfully at A Bu and said, "A Bu, you must have misremembered—didn't I capture that pawn?"

We can translate: "Li Xin glanced doubtfully at A Bu and said, 'A Bu, you misremembered, right? That pawn wasn't eaten by me?'" That seems faithful.

We must keep each translation on a single line after 【61】.

Tian Shou held back a laugh; these two clumsy chess players could have checkmated long ago, yet they've kept playing the position until now.

Tian Shou held back a laugh.

These two clumsy chess players, the position was already a forced win long ago, yet they've managed to keep playing it until now.

Thus translation: "Tian Shou tried not to laugh; these two idiots could have checkmated ages ago, yet they've kept the game going till now."

We need to keep faithful: maybe "Tian Shou held back a laugh; these two idiots could have been checkmated long ago, yet they've kept playing until now."

We'll output: 【62】 Tian Shou held back a laugh; these two idiots could have been checkmated long ago, yet they've kept playing until now.

Tian Shou held back a laugh, these two rotten chess barrels, the situation was already a dead end long ago, but the two of them stubbornly played it out until now.

Big Brother is even worse, often stealing A Bu's chess pieces!

Big Brother is even worse, often stealing A Bu's chess pieces!

Thus: 【63】 Big Brother is even worse, often stealing A Bu's chess pieces!

A Bu scratched his head; after several long games, he felt dizzy and might have truly misremembered.

Thus: 【64】 A Bu scratched his head; after several games, all long, he felt a bit dizzy, maybe he really misremembered.

Jianguo came over to the three, glanced at the board, picked up A Bu's side cannon, and directly knocked over the bottom of the board.

Jianguo

Thus: "Jianguo came over to the three, glanced at the board, picked up A Bu's side cannon, and directly knocked over the bottom of the board."

He picked up A Bu's side cannon and directly knocked over the bottom of the board.

Thus: 【65】 Jianguo came over to the three, glanced at the board, picked up A Bu's side cannon, and knocked over the bottom of the board.

He then said, "There's a chariot above and the cannon at the base—isn't that checkmate?"

Speaker likely Jianguo. So: "He then said, 'There's a chariot above, cannon below the base— isn't that checkmate?'"

Thus: 【66】 He then said, "There's a chariot above, cannon below the base— isn't that checkmate?"

Li Xin was furious!

Li Xin was furious!

He grabbed a piece and hit him on the head, laughing and scolding, "You big-mouthed monkey! Haven't you heard that a true gentleman watches the game in silence?"

Subject likely Li Xin (he grabbed a piece and smashed it on his head). So: "He grabbed a piece and smashed it on his head, laughing and scolding: 'You big-mouthed monkey! Haven't you heard that a true gentleman watches chess in silence?'"

Thus: 【68】 He grabbed a piece and smashed it on his head, laughing and scolding: "You big-mouthed monkey! Haven't you heard that a true gentleman watches chess in silence?"

You're everywhere!

This is likely Li Xin speaking: "You're everywhere!" So: 【69】 "You're everywhere!"

Jianguo rubbed his head, smiling as he answered, "Boss, that's enough—you two clumsy chess players can't get any fun out of this; from now on I'll just play with you."

Speaker Jianguo. So: "Jianguo rubbed his head, smiling as he replied: 'Boss, that's enough; you two idiots can't get any fun out of this, from now on I'll keep you company.'"

Thus: 【70】 Jianguo rubbed his head, smiling as he replied: "Boss, that's enough; you two idiots can't get any fun out of this, from now on I'll keep you company."

Get lost, what's the point of playing with you? Don't you know what it means to meet a worthy opponent?

Speaker likely Li Xin? Actually after Jianguo's line, Li Xin says: "Get lost, what's fun in playing with you? Don't you know what 'meeting a worthy opponent' means?" So: 【71】 "Get lost, what's fun in playing with you? Don't you know what 'meeting a worthy opponent' means?"

Well, Li Xin, Jianguo, and Tian Shou have all played before; those two are experts, but only A Bu can play with him.

Speaker maybe narrator. So: "Yeah, Li Xin has played with Jianguo and Tian Shou before; those two are experts, only A Bu can play with him."

Thus: 【72】 Yeah, Li Xin has played with Jianguo and Tian Shou before; those two are experts, only A Bu can play with him.

After the laughter and commotion, Jianguo then said, "Boss, the matter is settled; those assassins have been sent back to their hometowns."

After the laughter, Jianguo said: "Boss, the matter's settled; those assassins have been sent back to their hometowns."

Thus: 【73】 After the laughter, Jianguo said: "Boss, the matter's settled; those assassins have been sent back to their hometowns."

The squad leader and his men are watching over there; nothing will go wrong.

Speaker likely Jianguo continuing: "The squad leader is watching over there; nothing will go wrong."

Thus: 【74】 "The squad leader is watching over there; nothing will go wrong."

Li Xin nodded and said, "That's good; I'm still confident in those brothers handling things—have any of them been hurt?"

Li Xin nodded: "That's good; I'm still reassured by how those brothers handle things— any casualties?"

Thus: 【75】 Li Xin nodded: "That's good; I'm still reassured by how those brothers handle things— any casualties?"

Jianguo scoffed, "Boss, you're overestimating those monkeys; they can't do it now, and they never could before—we're professionals at catching monkeys."

Jianguo said disdainfully: "Boss, you overestimate those monkeys; they can't do it now, and they never could before— we're professionals at killing monkeys."

Thus: 【76】 Jianguo said disdainfully: "Boss, you overestimate those monkeys; they can't do it now, and they never could before— we're professionals at killing monkeys."

Li Xin suddenly kicked Jianguo in the chest before he could react, sending him flying.

Li Xin suddenly lashed out; before Jianguo could react, he kicked him in the chest, sending Jianguo flying.

Thus: 【77】 Li Xin suddenly lashed out; before Jianguo could react, he kicked him in the chest, sending Jianguo flying.

After the fight, he finally spoke: "Jianguo, did you ever think I would hit you? Don't underestimate the enemy, I don't want to have to collect your corpse!"
