Chapter 357: The Bet

The casino.

Chen Ge held a gun in his hand, looking at Yu Liancheng like a vulture, a trace of playful mockery at the corners of his mouth.

Earlier, after that underling left, Chen Ge had a sudden whim. He had also rushed over and witnessed the scene where Xiaoman sent several Axe Gang members flying with a blast.

Although somewhat surprised by the martial prowess of that simple-minded young girl, Chen Ge did not care and casually took out his handgun as a warning.

Idiots!

This is the age of technology; technology is the primary productive force.

No matter how high one's martial arts are, a single shot will knock them down.

And "Night Shanghai" is the headquarters of the Axe Gang, with no shortage of well-trained Axe Gang members and all kinds of firearms and weapons; even if the entire police station were mobilized, they would have nothing to fear.

Chen Ge glanced at Yu Liancheng again, waved his hand casually, and whispered a few words to his advisor.

The advisor nodded and bowed, looking like a sycophant, but he handled matters with extreme cleanliness and efficiency.

After receiving Chen Ge's instructions, he shouted to the gamblers on one hand: "Sorry, the casino is closed today, please come back tomorrow."

On the other hand, he kept ordering his men to have more Axe Gang members rush over. Soon, the clearing of the venue and the gathering of men were completed.

Before long, there were no gamblers left around the three of them; instead, there were nearly a hundred men in suits holding firearms and weapons, looking at the three with unkind expressions, either cold or vicious.

All doors and windows were tightly shut, ensuring that not even a fly could fly out.

Chen Ge puffed on a cigarette, exhaling clouds of smoke, and looked at the three with a composed posture that showed everything was under his control. He sneered: "Hey you, speak up, who sent you here? The people from the Police Headquarters? Or that pig from the Crocodile Gang? It wouldn't be those foreign devils from the concessions, would it?"

Yu Liancheng looked around and said with regret: "Is this all the people there are? Does your Axe Gang not have any experts holding down the fort?"

Originally, according to Yu Liancheng's conjecture, Great Shanghai was a world-renowned metropolis in the East, and the Rakshasa Cult was the largest black organization in the East, so either the Axe Gang or the Crocodile Gang should have been a subordinate force of the Rakshasa Cult, managing Great Shanghai for them.

Now it seems that he had guessed wrong.

Or perhaps, there is some other inside story to this.

"What kind of bullshit experts?! Nowadays we talk about science, we talk about guns." Chen Ge frowned, a murderous aura rising on his face, his expression filled with disdain: "Do you believe that with a wave of my hand, I could turn the three of you into sieves?"

Yunluo Gongzhu and Xiaoman showed signs of vigilance; when they had just thawed out and left the valley, they had learned of the power of modern firearms, which could easily shoot and kill martial artists.

But upon a second thought of Yu Liancheng's cultivation and martial arts, they knew it was all just unnecessary worry.

Yu Liancheng remained composed, looked at Chen Ge, and smiled: "Since I came to the casino, I naturally want to gamble. Why don't we have another bet?"

Chen Ge was startled, then burst into manic laughter: "Interesting, fine, tell me what the stakes are? If they're too small, I don't want to bet."

"My stake is all the chips on the table; the chips here, even if they can't buy your 'Night Shanghai', are not far off. As for your stake..." Yu Liancheng scanned Chen Ge from head to toe and said with disdain: "You consumptive ghost, your body is weak and you look pathetic. Aside from the position of Axe Gang Leader, there is really nothing about you that I find worthy."

An expression of annoyance appeared on Chen Ge's face, his murderous aura chilling. With a wave of his hand, dozens of guns in the casino were aimed at Yu Liancheng.

He bared his teeth, revealing blackened, rotten teeth: "Fine, I'll bet with you. You decided the stakes, so I should decide the method of the bet."

"Oh, tell me about it."

"I bet that you are about to be shot to death by a hail of bullets. If you don't die, I'll give the position of Axe Gang Leader to you." After saying this, Chen Ge revealed a ferocious smile and waved his hand: "Fire!"

Bang, bang, bang!!

The sound of gunfire was continuous, and the smell of gunpowder filled the hall.

These Axe Gang members clearly could not bear to kill a beauty like Yunluo Gongzhu, so they almost all aimed at Yu Liancheng, attempting to make this madman pay the price.

But the expressions on their faces soon stiffened, turning instantly into terror, their guts scared out of them by the scene before their eyes.

It was seen that the air three feet around Yu Liancheng seemed to have twisted and solidified, turning into a wall of iron. Dozens of deformed bullet heads were lying quietly on the ground, some still emitting smoke and retaining a scalding warmth.

This sight caused a huge impact on everyone present.

Chen Ge trembled all over; clearly, he had never seen such a terrifying method. His mind raced, and he was just planning to bow his head, concede, and ease the atmosphere.

But Yu Liancheng had already suddenly reached out, an invisible suction force generated, grabbing him over, throwing him to the ground, and stepping on his head with one foot, saying indifferently: "I don't like that 'mastermind' posture of yours from earlier; this look suits you better now."

"You motherf..." Chen Ge wanted to support himself with his hands to stand up, but was firmly stepped on by Yu Liancheng's foot and could not move. He was a fickle person by nature, and regardless of the other party's god-like methods, he began to curse loudly.

But as Yu Liancheng applied a little force under his foot, Chen Ge felt as if he were being pressed by hundreds of pounds of weight; his skull creaked, his breathing became increasingly heavy, and he could no longer beg for mercy.

"Your Chen Ge has already lost the position of Gang Leader to me, so I am now the Axe Gang Leader. Do you have any objections?"

A warm and gentle smile was on Yu Liancheng's face; if not for the struggling Chen Ge under his foot and the scattered bullets all around, everyone would have thought a gentle scholar from ancient times had walked out of a painting.

"If you have any objections, it doesn't matter, just say them out loud; it would be bad if I killed the wrong person."

The surrounding Axe Gang members looked at each other. At this moment, the advisor crawled down from the second floor, his face filled with respect and sycophancy: "Axe Gang Advisor, greets the new Gang Leader."

"Gang Leader! Gang Leader!"

Immediately, led by a small leader, shouts rang out one after another, the sound almost blowing off the roof, their demeanor nearly fanatical.

They never had much loyalty to the original Chen Ge, so betraying him was not a difficult thing. Furthermore, this new Gang Leader's methods were unfathomable; by defecting to him, their future lives would likely be even more comfortable and wonderful.

"Since there is a new Gang Leader, then leave this old Gang Leader for you all to handle yourselves." Yu Liancheng kicked Chen Ge out, kicking him into the crowd of Axe Gang members.

After a moment of silence, short screams and a series of continuous gunshots rang out.

Yunluo Gongzhu looked at the scene before her, but felt a strange and terrifying sensation arise.

Although human hearts are easily changed, these people changed too quickly and too smoothly.

Is it that human nature is originally like this, or did this Young Master Yu use some kind of unfathomable mental technique?

And whether it was the former or the latter, it made Yunluo Gongzhu feel alarmed.
