Chapter 218: The Gambler Submits a Declaration!

Su Ming's mouth corner lifted slightly.

Looking at the Gambler's current spirit and vigor…

He should still have the ability to repay his money!

Squeak—

He casually pulled a chair over, sat down with a swagger, his posture relaxed.

The Gambler, seeing this, also shifted his gaze away from him.

He first glanced at Magu nearby, then coldly glanced toward Tang Zhong, who was limp in the corner, trembling like sifted chaff.

That dead dog…

Really should be chopped to pieces!

"Mr. Su."

The Gambler inhaled deeply and bowed slightly.

Even though that disfigured, snarling, terrifying face, he still performed a bow.

"I know, a mere Earth Vein core explosion certainly can't kill you, Great Buddha!"

"But if that big firework exploded in the real world, the commotion would be too great, the dust too much…"

"It would still dirty your clothes a bit, and it'd be a waste of all these props in the room, wouldn't you agree?"

Upon saying that, the Gambler straightened his back, raised his hand, and pointed at the bizarre neon scenery around.

"But the Fate Casino is an absolute realm independent of reality."

He grinned, showing a row of broken, blood‑stained teeth.

"Even if that Lao Gou now smashed the switch in his hand…"

"Outside, it wouldn't even make a fart noise!"

In the corner.

Tang Zhong heard this and his pupils quivered violently.

How could he not understand the Gambler's meaning!

This is urging Su Ming to kill and silence!

Kill whom?

Of course, him!

"Mr. Su."

"Now, you can eliminate him!"

"As soon as he dies, that key, together with the Blue Sea Core outside, will instantly become ownerless."

"All yours!"

"You can rightfully take over everything, with no worries behind you."

"Su... Mr. Su! Su ancestor!"

Before the Gambler finished speaking, Tang Zhong, who had been in the corner, was already crawling toward this side.

"Don't listen to him! I'm the elder here! I know the Underground City's accounts better!"

"The Gambler is just a double‑cross, an untamable wolf!"

"Keep me as your dog! I'm more obedient than him! I…"

He babbled incoherently, his face smeared with snot and tears.

At this moment, to survive, one must abandon all dignity!

Su Ming raised an eyebrow, sitting on the chair without even shifting his butt.

Dog bark?!

He simply, with interest, reached out and grabbed a few Chips from the nearby gambling table.

Red, gold…

Hefty.

Clack, clack, clack—!

The Chips clattered, crisp and pleasant, becoming the only soundtrack in this dead‑silent space.

"You spent so much effort to expand the realm, pulling us in…"

Su Ming tilted his head, looking at the Gambler.

"Just to help me deal with such a trivial little trouble I could crush with a hand…"

"Not planning to spar with me again? Taking advantage of the home‑court edge, fighting for a way out?"

"Fight?!"

The Gambler, as if hearing some cosmic joke, shook his head self‑deprecatingly.

He reached out and brushed the bald spot on his left ear.

"Mr. Su is joking."

"My life was picked up from the gate of Yama's Hall, what else would I take…"

"In this realm, perhaps I can cause you some trouble, disgust you a bit."

"But it would be only trouble, that's all."

"In the end, the one who dies will surely be me."

The Gambler smiled uglier than he cried, yet his eyes were oddly clear.

【9】 Not flattery.

【10】 He truly sees through it!

It's not flattery.

He really saw through!

Even Shen Qing, that pervert who toys with rules and is deeply scheming.

All were felled by Su Ming's even more terrifying method—one force subduing ten abilities—chopping off heads as easily as killing a chicken.

And his 【Qualified】 ability that lives off luck and realms, even Shen Qing can torment him into a dog…

Facing Su Ming, this humanoid tyrannosaur?

Isn't that just shoving it into someone's mouth?!

"A person is valuable for having self‑awareness; I may be mad, but I'm not stupid."

【Gambler】 lowered both hands, posture extremely low.

"So…"

Su Ming's fingertip movement abruptly halted, the playful glint in his eyes vanished, leaving only a chilling coldness.

Those few hard, specially made Chips, under his crushing pressure, turned into powder.

"What is the meaning of you doing this?"

"A friendly gesture?"

"Or perhaps…"

A terrifying pressure instantly locked onto the Gambler.

"You want to default?"

"I'll put the ugly words first: no matter how fun this place is, no matter how proper your attitude…"

"If the money you owe me is even one coin short, I will have to use your life to make up for it!"

"Of course I'll pay!!"

The Gambler showed no hesitation, answering decisively.

"Oh?!"

That reaction, however, surprised Su Ming a bit.

Doesn't seem fake!

"Fine, with those words, you wait a moment!"

Su Ming spoke calmly, then stood up, brushed the powder off his hand, and looked down at Tang Zhong, who was lying beside him.

"I… I really have a use…"

"I have money… I also have accounts overseas…"

Tang Zhong strained to force out a smile.

"Can you… not kill…"

Before Tang Zhong could finish speaking, a flash of black light!

Bones rattling—

The skull rolled away.

In the next instant, the key in his hand burst into dazzling light, turning into a golden light sphere.

Sure enough, it became an ownerless object!

【Blue Sea Core Secret Key】

Quality: Legendary Rank

Function: Through this key, can fully disable the 【Blue Sea Core】!

Su Ming flipped his palm and directly stored the light sphere into the 【Dimensional Reduction Warehouse】.

The whole sequence flowed like clouds and water—killing, looting, collecting corpses—so skillful it made one feel pity.

For these two‑sided, treacherous fence‑sitting opportunists, he kept only one.

All dust settled.

Only then did Su Ming turn back, looking again at the motionless 【Gambler】, his tone teasing.

"Alright, the fly is swatted dead."

"Continuing the previous topic."

"Why did you suddenly become so enlightened?"

"If the Chips aren't enough, how do you plan to repay?"

"Kidney or cornea?"

"No!"

【Gambler】 took a deep breath and stepped forward.

Boom—!

With that step, the aura around him suddenly changed drastically!

The previously humble, petty, ingratiating aura vanished instantly.

The air was filled with extreme madness and rampant breath!

"Hm?"

Su Ming put away his playful thoughts.

Under the 【Eye of Truth】, the Gambler's originally dead‑silent red‑black aura surged wildly, extremely unsettled!

Murderous intent, so intense it cannot be dispelled!

"Mr. Su, Golden House, I give it to you!"

"But that's still not enough!"

"Far from enough to repay your colossal debt!"

The Gambler's voice grew louder, increasingly hoarse.

"Those Chip, I won't miss a single one!"

"As long as I'm not dead, I'll steal, rob, cheat—I'll gather them all for you!"

"Even… if this one truly can turn the tide, I'll even find a way to strip this Fate Casino out for you!!"

Su Ming raised an eyebrow.

This Chip, you added a bit too much?!

"Why?"

Hearing the question, the Gambler jerkily lifted his head.

The scarred face's muscles twitched, and his grimace made one's skin crawl.

That was his most suppressed period…

Being treated as a dog, being trampled at will, being stripped of dignity, being used as a consumable, and…

"Huh…"

He extended a finger, trembling as he pointed toward the real world, the direction where Shen Qing's skull had rolled.

"I want to pull a big one with you!!"

"How big?"

"Take down…"

"Chaotic Scale!"
