Medical and Martial God-Chapter 211: Desperate from Losing

All the onlooking gamblers assumed Lv Liang was deliberately losing to Ye Xiu. They figured he was letting Ye Xiu win the first two rounds only to take it all back in the third, as if he were just toying with him. An Dongye and the Croupier thought so too.

Listening to the accusations around him, Lv Liang nearly coughed up blood from rage. Deliberately losing my ass! I wanted to win, too!

However, he had to save face. He could only force a smile and admit that he had indeed lost on purpose. "Since this gentleman is visiting the Crystal Palace for the first time, as the host, I must ensure he has a good time."

"Well, thank you," Ye Xiu said, lifting the dice cup.

Four! He had rolled a four!

Just one point more than Lv Liang!

An uproar swept through the crowd again. Winning with just a four—and winning 220 million at that—had to be a new record for winning the most money with the lowest roll in gambling history!

"Haha, we’ve hit the jackpot, we’ve hit the jackpot!" An Dongye excitedly swept all of Lv Liang’s chips over. "Little Bro, we’ve won more than enough for tonight. Let’s not gamble with him anymore. Let’s go out and celebrate."

Hearing this, Lv Liang and everyone else present laughed. What is a gambler? A gambler is someone who, after winning, thinks they will keep winning, and after losing, thinks they can win it all back. Ye Xiu had just won 330 million in the blink of an eye, not to mention the 12 million from Zhang Wenyi. After winning so much, how could he possibly walk away?

"Sure," Ye Xiu readily agreed.

The smiles on the faces of Lv Liang and everyone else instantly froze. They all stared at Ye Xiu in shock. This kid’s willpower is terrifying! He actually resisted the urge to keep winning and hit the brakes in time!

In truth, Ye Xiu wanted to continue gambling, too. However, he knew that if he kept using his Inner Strength to manipulate Lv Liang’s dice, his opponent would eventually notice. After all, as a gambling veteran, Lv Liang would certainly grow suspicious after several consecutive losses, which would inevitably lead to trouble. Ye Xiu wasn’t afraid of trouble, but he was in a great mood after winning so much money and didn’t want anything to spoil it.

"Sir, your luck is so good tonight. Are you sure you don’t want to play anymore?" Lv Liang asked with a smile, though he was panicking internally. If Ye Xiu left now and never returned, his losses would be massive.

"I’ll come back another day," Ye Xiu replied dismissively, gesturing for An Dongye to join him in cashing in the chips.

Seeing that Ye Xiu was determined to quit, Lv Liang grew anxious. He couldn’t let this kid walk away with the money. But if he forcibly detained Ye Xiu, it would severely damage the casino’s reputation, and no one would dare to play here in the future.

"Young Master Lv..." Just then, Li Yuefeng, whom An Dongye had knocked out, ran up, huffing and puffing. "Young Master Lv, I was attacked and robbed!"

Ye Xiu sighed inwardly. I just wanted to win some money and leave without causing a scene. Wonderful. Now trouble has come looking for me.

"Dammit! Who dared to attack you?" Lv Liang roared.

Li Yuefeng was about to speak when he spotted Ye Xiu and An Dongye. He immediately pointed and shouted, "It was them!"

The onlooking gamblers erupted with excitement. They had been thinking that since Ye Xiu had taken 330 million from Lv Liang, Lv Liang certainly wouldn’t let it go. They figured he wouldn’t make a move openly but would probably have someone follow Ye Xiu and rob him in secret. Now, it seemed Lv Liang had a direct reason to beat someone up and take the money back.

"Oh?" Lv Liang almost laughed out loud. He had just been struggling to find a reason to stop Ye Xiu, and Li Yuefeng had delivered one right to him. Staring coldly at Ye Xiu, he said, "Sir, Li Yuefeng is the manager of the Crystal Palace. You attacked him and stole his money. Do you think the Crystal Palace is a pushover?"

Before Ye Xiu could answer, An Dongye cut in. "I’m the one who hit him and took the money. It has nothing to do with him. I did it because last night, he tricked me into losing money and even ordered his bodyguards to grab me with ill intentions."

"You’re full of shit!" Li Yuefeng retorted. "Last night, you were drunk and passed out on the roadside. I helped you up, but you were the one who insisted on gambling, so I had no choice but to bring you here. Just now, I tried to stop you from gambling again, but you hit me and stole my money!"

Ye Xiu frowned; this guy was truly shameless.

An Dongye, however, was furious. "You son of a bitch, how dare you twist the truth! Are you asking for another beating?"

"Look! Look, Young Master Lv! An Dongye dares to threaten me right in front of you and all these people!" Li Yuefeng clamored.

"An Dongye, you’ve gone too far," Lv Liang said coldly. "You attacked Li Yuefeng, robbed him, and are now threatening him in public. If I, as his boss, don’t do something about this, who will dare to follow me in the future?"

Ye Xiu chuckled to himself. This guy is spouting such grand, self-righteous words, but it’s all just to find a legitimate excuse to deal with An Dongye. A perfect pretense to make a move.

"What do you want?" An Dongye asked.

"You attacked Li Yuefeng and robbed him. I have to teach you a lesson," Lv Liang said. "How about this? Leave one hand behind and return Li Yuefeng’s money. Then we’ll consider this matter closed." As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Xiu. His meaning was simple: he was trying to force Ye Xiu to stand up for An Dongye, giving him a reason to make a move on Ye Xiu as well.

"Fine. One hand it is. Go on, chop it off," An Dongye declared, placing her left hand on the table.

Lv Liang and everyone else present were stunned. No one had expected An Dongye to be so ruthless, willing to give up a hand just like that. In the next moment, however, they all turned to look at Ye Xiu with disdain. It was obvious he had come with An Dongye. For a man to watch his female companion about to lose a hand without saying a single word... What a coward! A wimp!

"Good! Very decisive!" Lv Liang snorted and shouted, "Someone, bring me a knife!"

A security guard immediately ran over with a machete. Lv Liang took it, glanced at Ye Xiu again, and then said to An Dongye, "Once I bring this blade down, you’ll only have one hand left. For such a pretty young girl to become disabled... what a pity."

"Cut the crap and just do it!" An Dongye said impatiently.

Lv Liang’s brow furrowed. Ye Xiu still hadn’t said a word. Unable to wait any longer, he turned to him. "Sir, can you really bear to watch your friend lose a hand?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Hurry up and chop. I’m in a hurry to go eat skewers and drink beer," Ye Xiu urged.

Hearing this, Lv Liang was practically apoplectic. If Ye Xiu didn’t intervene, he had no reason to force him to cough up the 330 million. Looks like my only option is to send someone to follow him and rob him after he’s gone some distance.

With that thought, he said coldly, "Fine! In that case, don’t blame me for being merciless!"

He then decisively swung the machete down onto An Dongye’s left wrist.

However, to everyone’s utter astonishment, when Lv Liang’s blade fell, there was no spray of blood, no severed hand.

Instead, the machete stopped dead on An Dongye’s wrist as though it had struck solid steel, not even managing to cut a single strand of hair on her skin.
