Chapter 1603 - 1585
Jian Chunqiu rarely appears in the Gambling Stone Field, so they basically don’t know him, but Lin Dong is different. He spends all day at the Gambling Stone Field, he’s a staff member here and also watches over the place, so everyone is already very familiar with him.
At this moment, Lin Dong suddenly spoke, and everyone looked at him with a face full of bewilderment.
Someone, relying on his familiar relationship with Lin Dong, kindly stepped forward and said to him, "Lin Dong, you probably don’t know Third Master, right? He’s a regular at the Gambling Stone Field, just always at different spots. He has never lost with the stones he picked before!"
Lin Dong sneered disdainfully, "Just because he hasn’t lost before doesn’t mean he won’t lose now. And you guys didn’t see what he revealed when he picked. How do you know he has already won?"
Third Master was surrounded by a group of people. Being not very tall, his vision was blocked by the people in front of him. Hearing Lin Dong’s words, he pushed the people in front of him aside and paced over to Lin Dong. Casting a scrutinizing glance at Lin Dong, he asked, "Who are you?"
Lin Dong stood with arms crossed, looking at him. Before he could introduce himself, someone beside him spoke up first, "Third Master, this is Lin Dong, he’s in charge here."
"In charge?" Third Master raised his eyebrows, "Opened this Gambling Stone Field yourself? Haha, can’t tell just by looking, at such a young age, you could open a Gambling Stone Field."
Lin Dong shook his head, "This Gambling Stone Field is not opened by me. I’m just watching the place here. However, I’ve been roaming around the Capital City for so many years and never once heard of your name, Third Master. I wonder which line you’re in?"
He didn’t say this to provoke Third Master intentionally. Rather, he had searched among the local tyrants with some fame in the Capital City and didn’t find the name Third Master.
"Audacious! How dare you be so disrespectful to Third Master!"
The underling beside Third Master pointed at Lin Dong, scolding.
His hand was just pointing at Lin Dong when Lin Dong grabbed his finger and twisted it. A cracking sound echoed in the air as the man’s wrist dislocated.
The man screamed in pain, grimacing, and was pushed to the ground by Lin Dong in one move.
Lin Dong glared at him coldly, "The thing I hate the most is people pointing fingers at me."
To people beside Third Master, being hit by Lin Dong was like a slap on Third Master’s face. He stared at Lin Dong angrily and cursed, "You damn well dare hit my guy!"
Even hitting a dog requires respect for its owner, and he hit his guy right in front of him. Wasn’t it clear that he didn’t respect him at all?!
Third Master was instantly enraged. He glared at Lin Dong, his eyes seeming to want to devour him.
"So what if I hit your guy? I not only want to hit your guy! If you dare to speak improperly to my master again, I will hit you too!"
Lin Dong said very disdainfully.
"With someone like you watching over a Gambling Stone Field, I don’t think this place can continue!" Third Master sneered coldly. Today, he brought fewer people and wouldn’t face off with Lin Dong directly, but he kept a mental note of this incident.
"Alright then, why don’t you take a look at your result? Saying big words here with me, aren’t you afraid of losing even more miserably later?"
Lin Dong mocked sarcastically.
Third Master looked at Lin Dong with threatening eyes, "Talking so confidently about my loss, kid, you better pay the price for your words!"
"Price? Haha, fine, since you want a price, why don’t we talk about what price you’re referring to?"
Looking at him like this, Lin Dong snorted coldly in his heart. Since Third Master was still so sure about his win, he might as well up the stakes with him.
"If you lose, you kneel down and apologize to my master." Lin Dong said coldly.
Third Master, being confident of his win, didn’t pay any attention when Lin Dong said this. He snorted disdainfully, "If I win, then this Gambling Stone Field is mine."
Lin Dong squinted at him, "You sure have a big appetite, but unfortunately, this Gambling Stone Field isn’t mine to give you control. But if you lose, I’ll walk away from this Gambling Stone Field, how about that?"
"You’re not only leaving! You have to kneel and kowtow three times!" Third Master said, feeling aggrieved.
"Sure." Lin Dong agreed very straightforwardly.
Everyone noticed that the stakes had increased and gathered around, even the onlookers from other tables came over to this one.
Suddenly, there were even more people watching around.
Lin Dong stepped aside and said to Third Master, "Since you’re so confident, let’s see, check if the result is what you wanted."
The croupier had already crushed Third Master’s stone earlier, but no one knew the outcome because Lin Dong had warned him to stay quiet.
Third Master looked at the croupier, asking, "Is my stone opened?"
The croupier nodded, "Yes, it’s right on the table."
Third Master scanned the table. Except for a piece of waste stone, nothing else lay there, puzzled, he asked, "Where’s the jade? Where did you put it?"
The croupier pointed to the waste stone on the table and said, "This is it."
Not only Third Master, but everyone present was shocked to see the waste stone on the table.
"This is impossible!" Third Master yelled angrily, "How could it be waste stone? It must have been swapped!"
Lin Dong stepped forward with a smile and said disdainfully, "Was it swapped or can’t you afford to lose?"
"Huh, can’t afford to lose? I, Xu San, have never lost!" Xu San puffed his chest and snorted, "I believe you are just a black shop! Deliberately swapping out for customers!"
Lin Dong stared at Xu San, his gaze burning, "Just because of what you said; I could sue you for slander and defamation!"
"This Gambling Stone Field has been open for a while, never heard of any swapping taking place."
"Yeah, and the owner of this Gambling Stone Field is known to be sincere, never heard of any taint on their reputation."
When everyone heard Third Master calling the Gambling Stone Field a black shop, they started to defend the Gambling Stone Field owner.
At this moment, Chu Ge stood among the crowd, someone who knew him quickly pulled him out.
"Mr. Chu, please come and judge, what on earth is going on?"
"Yeah, how did a good piece of jade turn to waste stone?"
Chu Ge, forcibly dragged out, looked amusingly at the person who said this and asked, "Your words mean you assume our Gambling Stone Field swaps goods?"
"I didn’t say that."
The person waved his hands quickly.
"You didn’t say it directly, but from your words, you assumed that we swapped his stones at our Gambling Stone Field."
Chu Ge, with hands behind his back, swept his eyes around firmly, "And, with so many people present, how did we manage to swap stones right under everyone’s nose?"
