Ninth In the World

Feng Qi’s lips curled up with a hint of mockery as he uncovered the dice cup under everyone’s watchful eyes. He knew very well what the numbers were. They were 2, 4 and 6, so definitely not triple sixes.

As an experienced casino worker, he inevitably flipped one of the dice with a gentle push as he was uncovering the cup.

Di Jiu, who could see everything through his mental strength, combined his Quintessential Essence with his mental strength and changed all three dice to 6.

No matter how good Feng Qi was, he only knew the numbers he had shaken up. He would never be able to tell that the numbers on the dice had changed, no matter how exceptional his skills were.

As soon as the dice cup was uncovered, everyone gasped.

All three dice displayed the number 6, so the result was truly a triple 6.

Di Jiu did not wait for Feng Qi and Qian Qijiang to speak. He quickly clicked the “confirm” option on the laptop, successfully transferring 250 billion alliance dollars to his bank account.

“Stop!” Qian Qijiang’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. Losing those 250 billion alliance dollars would not cause his casino to go bankrupt, but it would put his life in danger.

Alas, he had spoken up too late. Di Jiu had taken his bank card as soon as the computer had confirmed that the transfer was successful.

“I’m sorry, Brother Qijiang. I did not expect that this fellow would be skilled enough to trick me.” Feng Qi sighed as he apologized to Qian Qijiang after the casino patrons had left.

Qian Qijiang did not worry much. The only troublesome part was transferring the money back from Di Jiu’s card. No matter how much money Di Jiu had won, the Heavenly Immortal Casino would have easily been able to get it back if it wished to.

Feng Qi was almost an Earth Tier Warrior, so he could probably kill 100 men of Di Jiu’s caliber with one strike. Qian Qijiang himself was also an Earth Tier Warrior, so despite the fact that he had not practised his skills in years, Di Jiu would not be able to defeat him that easily.

Qian Qijiang calmed down completely and waved dismissively. “It’s not your fault, I was the one with the poor judgement. When that fellow did not even bat an eyelid after losing almost a billion alliance dollars, I assumed that he was just the heir of a large corporation. Looks like we were both wrong about him. I never expected him to have such tricks up his sleeve. Anyway, we will definitely get the money back by the end of the day. There’s just one thing I don’t understand. How did he pull off that trick?”

Feng Qi furrowed his brows in confusion. “I’m pretty sure the numbers I shook up were 2-4-6. I even flipped one of the dice when I opened the cup to reveal the numbers. How could this happen?”

Feng Qi had been trying really hard to understand. Di Jiu’s cheating methods had to be very scary if he had been able to cheat and win under these circumstances.

As they were speaking, Minnie re-entered the room. “That fellow has a ticket to a private room at the auction. It is Seaview Room 16. We couldn’t track down his name or origin,” she said in a hushed tone.

“A private room?” Qian Qijiang frowned. Only someone with power would be able to get a private room with a sea view. Even though he owned a huge casino, he was still considered a small businessman, so he did not have the power to investigate people who were able to obtain private rooms at the auction.

“Let’s go check it out, Qi!” Qian Qijiang told Feng Qi as he put his pipe in his pocket. He immediately started planning for the worst-case scenario. He wasn’t actually afraid of Di Jiu. In fact, he was more worried about the powerful people behind him.

Those 250 billion alliance dollars were very important, because they were supposed to be used to purchase something at the auction on behalf of someone else. This had nothing to do with the casino or Qian Qijiang personally.

No matter how powerful Di Jiu was, Qian Qijiang had to get that money back as soon as possible. If his and Feng Qi’s cultivation levels were combined, they would definitely be able to overpower Di Jiu and make him return the money. They could just deal with the consequences later.

…

Di Jiu was in a very good mood. Winning 250 billion dollars had actually only played a small part in his happiness. He felt the happiest about the fact that he had discovered how to effectively make use of his mental strength. He had also realized that his mental strength seemed to be emitted from the Zifu area between his brows.

Di Jiu knew his Zifu very well, so he had already noticed a change. His Zifu now felt peculiarly empty.

As he was thinking about experimenting to find out how much more he could see with his mental strength, he suddenly heard footsteps outside his door.

He consciously released some of his mental strength and quickly saw a clear image of Qian Qijiang and Feng Qi standing by his door.

When they knocked, Di Jiu pressed a switch beside the table to open the door. Feng Qi closed the door behind him as they entered the room.

“Do forgive us for coming here uninvited, my friend,” Qian Qijiang said in a seemingly polite tone as he cupped his fist.

“I don’t consider many people my friends, and definitely not either of you,” Di Jiu said coldly.

Qian Qijiang did not get angry. Instead, he told Di Jiu straightforwardly without even taking a seat, “I’ll be honest with you, my friend. The 250 billion dollars you won do not belong to the casino, neither are they part of my personal fortune. A senior man from the Fairy Planet gave it to me to buy some items at the auction on his behalf. Please return the money to me, my friend. Otherwise, neither of us will be spared.”

The faint threat in his words was obvious. Di Jiu had to hand over the money, no matter what. However, Qian Qijiang could sense that, no matter now nicely he spoke to Di Jiu, it would be impossible to get him to voluntarily give the money back.

Di Jiu pointed to the ship regulations pasted next to the door. “Do you know why I allowed the two of you to come in? Take a look at the first three regulations.”
