Luo Chao was right, Zuo Dahai, the once dominant tycoon in Huahai City's financial scene, was indeed ruined by gambling.
At the same time, Zuo Dahai continued, "After my good friend who returned from abroad and I indulged for three days and nights, we felt bored. Just when we didn't know what else to do, my friend suggested something that ended up ruining my life: gambling!"
"Actually, when my brother first suggested gambling, I was quite disdainful of it because my upbringing taught me that gambling is one of the most harmful behaviors in modern society, even more harmful than murder."
"As they say, 'Usury is fiercer than a tiger.' To be honest, I have seen countless people who, because of gambling, owed huge sums of money to loan sharks and eventually ended up with broken families and ruined lives."
"But just when I was about to righteously reject my friend's suggestion, he introduced me to a sophisticated gambling method I had never seen before. It was exactly this gambling method that I couldn't help but get sucked into."
"Although I've often played small gambling games like Mahjong and poker with family and friends during holidays, I had never heard of such an interesting gambling game anywhere in the world. It far surpassed various card games and gambling machines like fishing games and slot machines."
Hearing this, Luo Chao couldn't help but feel a bit curious, so he asked, "Oh? An interesting gambling game? Even far beyond various card games and gambling machines? Uncle Zuo, what kind of gambling game could be so novel that even a business tycoon like you would find it fascinating and become addicted to it?"
"Ah..." Zuo Dahai sighed and said, "Young man, don't be anxious. Even if you don't ask, I would tell you about this interesting yet detestable gambling game, just to prevent anyone from enticing you to play it in the future. After all, excluding its gambling elements, it's truly an addictive and interesting game."
With Zuo Dahai's words, Luo Chao's curiosity grew stronger, making him sit up straight, eager to listen intently to every word Zuo Dahai said.
At this moment, even Tang Tianyi, who had previously looked at Zuo Dahai with displeasure, felt her curiosity piqued by the "interesting gambling game" he mentioned.
Despite half-lying in her seat, Tang Tianyi slightly leaned her upper body forward, especially her ears, which were now completely upright, trying hard to eavesdrop without being noticed.
But how could Tang Tianyi's attempts to secretly listen escape the sharp observation of Luo Chao?
At this moment, Luo Chao had long noticed Tang Tianyi's tsundere behavior, but of course, he wouldn't expose it in front of Zuo Dahai.
After all, Tang Tianyi is also a girl. Although her emotional intelligence is almost zero, she's still a girl, with a thin skin. If Luo Chao were to expose Tang Tianyi's tsundere behavior in front of Zuo Dahai right now in the car, who knows, she might bear a grudge against Luo Chao for a lifetime.
Thinking of this, Luo Chao pretended not to notice Tang Tianyi's behavior and turned to listen carefully to every word Zuo Dahai said.
"Since you're eager to know what this interesting gambling game is, I'll tell you openly." Seeing Luo Chao's curious look, Zuo Dahai stopped holding back and began to speak slowly.
"Actually, this gambling game has been popular abroad for some time. It was first invented by African Americans in Chicago, USA. At first, they just wanted to use this fun game to pass their boring time."
"But unexpectedly, the game was discovered one day by a Russian gambling mogul passing through the USA. This mogul had a natural love for gambling and would use anything in life that could be gambled on."
"Furthermore, since this mogul was also a gambling expert, he won much more than he lost most of the time, accumulating considerable wealth and status."
"When this gambling mogul discovered the game invented by these African Americans, he naturally wanted to gamble using this game, and his chosen opponents were, of course, those who invented it."
"What?!" Hearing Zuo Dahai's words, Luo Chao was so surprised that his mouth fell open, "That gambling mogul actually chose these African Americans, who had no gambling mind, as his opponents? Isn't that deliberately bullying them?"
"Moreover, it doesn't make sense. We all know these African Americans generally don't have much wealth; even being debt-free is already good for them. Why would a wealthy gambling mogul gamble with them? In other words, what tangible benefits could the gambling mogul gain from them?"
"Oh, I know!" Luo Chao suddenly thought of something, and for a moment, he was speechless from shock.
At this moment, beside Luo Chao, Tang Tianyi took over the conversation, "Although these African Americans have no money, they have labor power. You must know that among the races, African Americans are recognized for their outstanding physical qualities. Among world-class athletes, African Americans probably occupy half of the top positions!"
Unexpectedly, after Tang Tianyi finished speaking, a smiling Luo Chao finally recovered from his shock.
Luo Chao shook his finger, smiling at Tang Tianyi, "Miss Tang, I think you're still too young!"
"What do you mean I'm too young? You're only twenty-two, okay? I'm also twenty-two this year. Whether according to Huaxia's traditional calendar or the internationally recognized Gregorian calendar, we should be considered peers, right? If you have an opinion or an idea, just say it outright. Why pretend to be wise for your age here?"
"Haha, okay, I'll say it directly. In my opinion, it definitely wasn't these African Americans' physique that attracted the gambling mogul to gamble with them," Luo Chao said with a confident smile. "In my view, this gambling mogul must have been attracted by a kind of power, gambling with these penniless African Americans because of it!"
