A flurry of gunshots burst from the intercom, startling everyone in the gambling hall.

"Mr. Majeson, was that... was that gunfire just now?" A seasoned millionaire gambler from the crowd voiced the question on everyone's mind.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Before Majeson could answer, a slow clap suddenly echoed from the entrance of the gambling hall.

Everyone turned towards the entrance, where they saw a young man with a sinister expression, slightly balding, wearing a pair of round glasses, seated in an electric wheelchair, moving inside.

"My friend, you're right, that was indeed gunfire!" Chen Yaoyang remarked, clapping his hands, seated in the electric wheelchair.

Behind Chen Yaoyang followed dozens of heavily armed mercenaries.

These mercenaries were also forcing two stunning women at gunpoint to walk into the gambling hall with them.

These two women were none other than the kidnapped Miao Shiyun, and Fang Zhiruo, who had disappeared after boarding the cruise!

At this moment, Miao Shiyun was still wearing the clothes she had on when she was kidnapped last night, and she was clean, seemingly not having suffered any abuse.

But Fang Zhiruo was worse off; her clothes were clearly a bit disheveled, and her mouth was stuffed with a cloth, evidently caught by these mercenaries after a struggle.

"Shi Yun! Miss Fang!" Zhou Delong lost control at the sight of Miao Shiyun, disregarding Luo Chao's attempts to stop him, and swiftly moved towards Miao Shiyun.

As Zhou Delong approached them, the mercenaries simultaneously aimed their guns at him!

At the same moment, Luo Chao's gaze sharpened, and three Silver Needles appeared in each hand, ready to strike if these mercenaries made any move!

"Put down the guns." Just then, Chen Yaoyang waved his hand, and the mercenaries obediently put away their assault rifles.

Zhou Delong hugged Miao Shiyun, glanced her over, and tentatively asked, "Shi Yun, did that guy do anything to you?"

Miao Shiyun didn't answer Zhou Delong's question, but seeing his worried face, her eyes instantly reddened, and two streams of tears fell uncontrollably, "Grandpa... why did you come!"

"Silly child, what are you saying? You're my precious granddaughter, who would come to save you if I didn't?" Zhou Delong affectionately stroked Miao Shiyun's head, expressing kindly.

No matter a person's age, in the eyes of the elders, they are always just children!

Suddenly, Miao Shiyun seemed to think of something, saw Luo Chao behind Zhou Delong, and shouted, "Luo Chao, are you stupid? Don't you know this is Chen Yaoyang's trap? Why did you let my grandfather come!"

Facing Miao Shiyun's accusation, Luo Chao was at a loss for words.

How could Luo Chao not know that Chen Yaoyang had already planned this?

Just to save someone, even if Luo Chao had to choose again a thousand times, ten thousand times, the result would be the same!

He would still come!

Meanwhile, Chen Yaoyang, who had been silently observing since entering, finally spoke.

"Hehehe, Shi Yun, no need to worry, since your grandfather loves you so much, I'll give him a chance to show it!" Chen Yaoyang said with a wicked smile.

Just then, Majeson, who was the manager of the Eastern Star, suddenly spoke, warningly saying, "Chen Yaoyang! Do you intend to break the truce agreement between the Avengers and our World Gambling Association?"

Chen Yaoyang had hijacked the Eastern Star with a team of mercenaries, already breaking the rules of the gambling world.

"Truce agreement? What is a truce agreement to me!" Chen Yaoyang gestured to one of the mercenaries, who promptly handed him a silver box.

"Do you know what's inside this?" Chen Yaoyang raised the box in his hand, "This holds your lives! Your lives are in my hands, why should I fear a truce agreement?"

"What... our lives? Chen Yaoyang, what do you mean?!" Zhou Delong angrily questioned.

"What do I mean? Old Zhou, you sure enjoyed the sashimi earlier!" Chen Yaoyang glared at Zhou Delong with hatred.

Then, Chen Yaoyang turned to everyone and said, "The sashimi you just ate has been laced with a neurotoxin, and within twelve hours, you'll be completely paralyzed, unless..."

Chen Yaoyang tapped the silver box; without needing further explanation, everyone guessed that this box probably contained the antidote!

"Chen Yaoyang, I warn you, by violating the truce agreement first, no matter what you aim for today, you will face a joint manhunt by the World Gambling Association and the Avengers!" Majeson again warned, attempting to scare Chen Yaoyang.

"Hehe, joint manhunt? Mr. Majeson, are you brain-damaged? Would I do this if I hadn't planned my escape route?" Chen Yaoyang completely disregarded Majeson's warning.

He instead threatened Majeson, saying, "If you dare say another word, I'll immediately have your Achilles tendons severed; let's see how you mimic Michael Jackson after that!"

"You..." Chen Yaoyang's words struck a nerve with Majeson, instantly silencing him.

Meanwhile, the wealthy gamblers in the hall, hearing Majeson's words moments ago, started begging for mercy.

"Brother, we don't know you. Please let us go!"

"Yeah, brother, give us the antidote. We can pay you money!"

"Right! We have money, we can offer a lot to buy your antidote, just safely let us off the ship!"

The wealthy gamblers in the hall each expressed willingness to spend big to exchange for their healthy, wealthy lives!

Chen Yaoyang glanced at these constantly begging millionaires, and with a satisfied smile, said, "Gentlemen, although I, Chen Yaoyang, like money, I can't just take your money for nothing, can I?"

"How about this, whoever doesn't want to be paralyzed can gamble with me. Whoever wins against me, I'll give them the antidote for free, and whoever loses will have to pay me to buy the antidote!"

Hearing this, these wealthy gamblers actually felt relieved.

For them, what scared them most was running into a terrorist who didn't care for his life.

But now, hearing Chen Yaoyang, it seemed he sought riches, so they didn't need to worry!

These wealthy gamblers lacked everything except money!

"Okay! Let's gamble. I'll be the first to bet!" A fat middle-aged man boldly stood up.

Seeing this man, Luo Chao was astonished.

This Li Dabao was the coal mine owner whom Luo Chao had tricked last time, buying two Han Dynasty anal plugs thinking they were Han Dynasty chopsticks!

Unexpectedly, he had also boarded this Eastern Star!

Li Dabao, as a black coal mine owner, was well-experienced, clearly unfazed by Chen Yaoyang's words. He roughly asked, "Tell me, what do you want to gamble?"
