In the dimly lit surveillance room.
A slender young man, dressed in a completely black suit, wearing a black-and-white small fedora, white socks with leather shoes, and sporting shoulder-length curly hair that gave him the uncanny resemblance of a knockoff Michael Jackson, stood up upon hearing the words.
He was the manager of this cruise ship called the Eastern Star—Majeson.
"Oh? What's his background?" Majeson moonwalked like Michael Jackson across the smooth marble floor, gliding to the side of the surveillance officer.
"I just checked the guest list; his name is Luo Chao," the surveillance officer replied.
"Luo Chao? And what else, any other details?" Majeson asked with curiosity.
"That's the strange part. We only know his name is Luo Chao; as for other information... there isn't a single clue!" The surveillance officer found it incredibly puzzling as well.
Majeson nodded and gently said, "It seems quite possible that this guy is one of the Avengers."
"One of the Avengers?! Chief Majeson, should I notify headquarters?" The surveillance officer became panic-stricken upon hearing Majeson's words.
"No rush, no rush, let me go meet him first!" With that said, Majeson moonwalked backward out of the surveillance room.
Meanwhile, in the gambling hall.
After Luo Chao won another 18 million chips, he suddenly stopped betting.
He looked up at the surveillance cameras in the corner of the ceiling and checked the time on his phone. Luo Chao knew that their recent frenzy must have attracted the high-ups' attention on the cruise.
And the wealthy gamblers who had been following Luo Chao's bets were now looking at him with pleading eyes.
As far as they were concerned, Luo Chao was not a mere human being, but the God of Wealth!
"Young man, are you going to bet or not? I'm itching here!" one gambler, struggling with the itch of his gambling addiction, asked eagerly, having just recovered from the ecstasy a moment ago.
Luo Chao waved his hand and smiled slightly, "No more bets, I'm taking a break."
"Oh... well, young man, here, this is my business card. I'm the owner of the Dashan Cement Factory. If you ever need help with something, just come find me, no need to be polite!" With that, the gambler handed a business card to Luo Chao.
Before Luo Chao could respond, the surrounding gamblers seemed reminded by this one and began handing their business cards to Luo Chao.
"Brother, I'm the CEO of Anning Sports Company, let's get acquainted!"
"Young man, I'm the chairman of Ronghai Bank. If you want to apply for financial products, feel free to come to me; I'll give you the best discount!"
"Young man, I'm the chairman of Bilv Garden Real Estate. If you're thinking about buying a house in Bilv Garden, I'll give you an internal price!"
"Younger brother, I'm..."
Regardless of their identities as gamblers, these wealthy individuals revealed their real identities one by one, extending olive branches to Luo Chao.
They all hoped to make friends with a gambling expert like Luo Chao!
Luo Chao accepted these cards without rejection.
The reason he brought these wealthy gamblers to win today was partly to attract attention and bring out Chen Yaoyang, and partly to expand his own network.
Since arriving in Huahai City, Luo Chao had gradually realized the benefits of having a network.
Previously, he had kept a low profile, which brought a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Luo Chao accepted the business cards handed over by the wealthy people one by one, placing them in his pocket, ready to enter them into his phone later.
Bang!
Suddenly, the lights in the gambling hall were turned off, plunging the entire hall into darkness.
People began whispering anxiously. Luo Chao's expression also tensed, but fortunately, he didn't sense any killing intent.
"Dun dun! Dun dun dun dun! Dun dun dun, dun dun dun..."
The familiar rhythm of Michael Jackson's "Criminal Master" started to play in the gambling hall.
Swish!
A spotlight shone on the stage in the gambling hall.
Following the light, everyone saw a slim man dressed just like Michael Jackson, dancing to Michael Jackson's moves on the stage.
His powerful movements and fluid moonwalk quickly earned a round of applause.
Soon, as the performance ended, the lights in the hall came back on, and Majeson leaped down from the stage, moonwalking straight to Luo Chao.
"Hello, I'm Majeson. May I ask who you are?" Majeson held one hand to the small fedora on his head, reaching out the other to shake hands with Luo Chao.
"Luo Chao!" Luo Chao graciously extended his hand to Majeson.
After shaking hands, Majeson swiftly turned around, advancing to the spot where the female dealer had been earlier.
The female dealer finally stopped crying when she saw Majeson arrive.
Majeson removed his white gloves, gently wiping away the tears from the corner of the dealer's eyes, comforting her as he spoke, "Don't cry, Brother Majeson is here to avenge you."
"Okay." The female dealer nodded, casually stepping aside, but the gaze she directed at Luo Chao still carried obvious animosity.
Then, Majeson slapped the table, and three dice flew into the air. He grabbed the dice shaker with one hand, capturing the three dice mid-air into the cup.
Clatter, clatter, clatter...
Majeson shook the dice, asking everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, care for another round?"
At this point, not only Luo Chao but even the ordinary people present, including Zhou Delong, could tell that the eccentric Majeson was indeed a gambling expert!
Immediately, they didn't say a word, instead looking expectantly at Luo Chao.
They knew that gambling against such an expert would only invite humiliation!
Right now, it seemed that only Luo Chao could face off against the formidable Majeson in front of them.
"I'll play a game with you, but I set the stakes," Luo Chao, having anticipated this situation, promptly took control of the negotiations.
Clatter, clatter, clatter... clatter, clatter...
"No problem!" Majeson vigorously shook the dice shaker while opening a drawer on the table to take out another shaker and nine dice. "But this time, let's play with twelve dice, shall we?"
"Alright." Luo Chao nodded.
"Then tell me, what do you want to wager?" Majeson asked, shaking the dice cup vigorously.
His hands moved swiftly, occasionally crossing and unfolding, with one hand sometimes above and sometimes below, as if alive, the shakers rose and fell, tumbling incessantly!
Luo Chao squinted his eyes, focusing intently on Majeson's eyes, stating seriously, "If I lose, I'll return all the money I won earlier to you, and if I win..."
