Chapter 1 Arai's Card Game

After the hood was removed, Su Wuhuan took several seconds to adapt to the light around him.

Then, a spacious and luxuriously decorated game room caught his eye.

Ju Wuhuan has also entered the VIP rooms of some large casinos, but compared with this place, the grades of those places are obviously worse.

Crystal chandeliers, tiger-skin carpets, leather sofas... These things are available in many business places in Huayue Town; but the decorations in this room, even the same chandeliers, same carpets, and sofas... can exude a different feeling.

The so-called "treasures" are expensive here.

"Young Master, the person has been brought here."

When a big man in suit wearing sunglasses was loosening his ties to Su Wuhuan, another big man standing beside him informed him of a table in the middle of the room.

There were four people playing mahjong at the table.

After hearing the sound, the man with his back to Su Wuhuan turned his head and looked here.

Suzu Wuhuan knew him, he was the "big fish" he had in the mahjong hall before.

"Oh! Here comes!" The man called the young master was the only one in the table who didn't realize someone was approaching, not only because he turned his back to the door, but also because he was the only one "ordinary person" in the table.

Even if he stood a few meters away, Su Wuhuan could see that the other three people at the table... were all "experts".

"Haha... we meet again, Mr. Sua." The young master stood up, smiled and greeted him, waved his hand casually, indicating that the two men in suits could retreat. "I'm sorry, I'll invite you in this way."

"It's okay." Suzu's expression looked relaxed, "Since you come..., let's do it."

Now that things have come to this point, Su naturally has no need to show a hostile attitude, which is not beneficial to him; furthermore, he has indeed become a little curious about the "young master" in front of him.

"Haha, as long as Sakanosuke is not angry." The other party saw that Sakanosuke was easy to talk to, and immediately smiled happily, "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. I, Ryunosuke Arai, just call me Ryunosuke."

"Then I'm not polite, Ryunosuke." Suzu still smiled falsely and responded in a kind tone.

"Hey...boy." However, at this moment, at the mahjong table, a middle-aged man on Ryunosuke's left hand spoke, "I'm kind to you, are you still serious? Aarai Jun is older than you, do you have to understand with respect?"

"Well... don't be so serious, Mr. Okanoi." Ryunosuke himself looked indifferent, "Actually, we are not a few years apart, so there is no need to..."

"No, he is right." Unexpectedly, Suzu suddenly put away his smile, "This Mr. Okanoi is right, I'd better call you Mr. Arai."

"Uh...then...then okay." Ryunosuke could only respond awkwardly when Suzuki's attitude changed.

But then he glanced at the man named Okawano and cast an unhappy look.

Okanoi was glared at Ryunosuke, and he suddenly changed his expression. He could only avoid the other party's sight and lowered his head as if he had admitted his mistake.

"Tsk... I was put on one." At this moment, Okanoi felt very regretful. He thought that Shizuo would actively respond to his provocation so that he could take advantage of the situation and suppress the newcomer, but he didn't expect that the other party would use his tricks and rebel against him, causing him to offend Ryunosuke.

"Hehe..." Two seconds later, the man sitting on the left hand of Okanoi smiled gloomy twice and said, "Stealing chickens will not make you lose rice."

"Stop talking, you zombie man." Okawano knew that this guy was mocking him, so he squeezed out this sentence from his teeth and pushed back.

While they were talking, Ryunosuke had already taken Satsuki to the table and said, "Then... I'll recommend it to you." He put his hand on Satsuki's arm and said to the three people at the table, "This is one of the 'two legends' of Hanyu Town, and the 'Suka Wuhuan', known as the 'winner and loser'."

"Shake..." Okanoi just glanced at it and spat lightly.

"Hehehe..." The person who was called "zombie man" by Okano once again laughed sinisterly and said, "Look for a long time... and long..."

The old man sitting on Ryunosuke's right hand did not speak, and only nodded to Sato.

"Kun Sakaki, these three are also famous people." Ryunosuke pointed at Okanoi with a proud expression, "This is Okanoi Goro, known as the 'Take Master'."

Then, he pointed to the guy opposite with a scent of dampness and emitting all over his body and said, "This one is the 'Paishan Ghost', Takagi Keiji."

Finally, Ryunosuke pointed to the one on his right hand and said, "There is also this one, the legendary 'Tang Yun Igarashi'."

While he was introducing the article, Suzu was also silently observing the three of them.

First of all, Dahanoi is undoubtedly an old man. He is about fifty years old, with a bald face, full of flesh on his face, and smoked. He is wearing a well-made dark straight striped suit, all of his fingers are wearing gold rings, a famous watch is tied to his wrist, and a pair of python leather shoes are also worn on his feet...

You can tell at first glance that this dress is not short of money.

No matter how good you taste, as a gambler, this kind of exaggerated dress is also a symbol of strength.

It is also part of... "Momentum".

Look again, Takagi Keiji; about thirty-five years old, she was thin, wearing a black kimono, with long hair shawls, half-covered face, and pale face.

Just because of his outfit and appearance, he pretended to be a ghost in a darker place in the middle of the night without using makeup.

And that "Igarashi" looks older, at least in his sixties, and is dressed very ordinary, like an old man who can be seen everywhere.

Shizuo has heard of the names of these three people; all of them are famous Quesh in Sakura Palace, and those who are engaging in gambling circles will have heard of their rumors to a greater or lesser extent.

Just like... these three people have also heard of the name of "winning and losing master".

…………

Five minutes later, Suzuki had already taken Ryunosuke's position and was about to join the game.

Ryunosuke sat on the sofa near the card table and asked the maid to bring a pot of sake and a few plates of sashimi.

He is happy to taste wine, food, and card games; of course, so are beauties, but now is not the time.

Ryunosuke Arai is a person who likes to play very much, and he does have the capital to play.

Ryunosuke's father Shinichiro Arai is one of the "Ten Cabinet Auxiliary" of the federal government, that is, one of the ten people who actually hold control of this planet.

Money, for Ryunosuke... has always been just a number, just a unit of measurement used to measure how much value the thing he wants is; money never becomes a barrier for him to obtain something, but will only become his partner... the most reliable partner.

Today, Ryunosuke gathered these four masters together just to play a "money" game.

Two weeks later, in Sakurano Mansion, there will be a party called "The Supreme Game". The participants in this party are all descendants of senior federal officials or super rich people; they make an appointment, and each person can bring an "assistant" to the place, and the person who wins the game will receive a "unrivaled in the world" prize.

For such an interesting thing, even if there is no prize, Ryunosuke must have been involved. Moreover, the game was held in his hometown Sakurano Mansion, so he was even more unwilling to miss it.

Therefore, in the past half month, he has been searching for famous gamblers everywhere, hoping to select one of them as his assistant.

However, Ryunosuke was a "young master" after all, and he still knew very little about the dark world. Even if he occasionally went to some illegal places to have fun, there would always be people who would follow him and protect him in the dark. Usually, when he didn't know, the bodyguards had already blocked many potential threats outside the door. At most, he would lose some money, and this was not a problem for him.

Ruonosuke really knows what he knows and knows about the "dark world". He will not wait until he meets tonight before he finds out who Satoshi is.

But no matter what, Suzu was finally brought to Ryunosuke.

Although Ryunosuke did not mention the "highest game" to Suzuka, he just asked him to sit down and play a half-man farm, Suzuka did not refuse. Originally... you have been arrested by you, let alone letting you play mahjong, but letting you slap yourself in the face. Do you dare to refuse?

"So...what are we going to bet?" As soon as he sat down, Suo started to make trouble.

Of course, the so-called "make trouble" is just from the perspective of others; in Shizuo's own opinion, it is very normal to ask this question, just like asking if there is free toilet paper in the house when going to a public toilet.

"Hey, boy." Okanoi was the first to respond, "Don't go too far, Arai Kan said, just let you sit down and play casually... Do you actually want to gamble here?"

"It may not be money," said Sakaya. "It's okay to bet on something else...what... do you have young, beautiful or charming female relatives?"

Pong-

Okanoi slapped the table and stood up, grabbing Suga's collar: "Are you... deliberately looking for trouble?"

"Hehehe..." At this moment, Takagi suddenly laughed sinisterly, "So that's why... he deserves to be a man called the 'winner and loser'."

"Ha?" Okanoi turned to look at Takagi, "What are you muttering about there? You zombie bastard."

"It's you who can't figure it out... Okanoi." A second later, Igarashi, who had been silent, also spoke. His voice brought the calmness and vicissitudes unique to people of his age, and his speech was also relatively slow. "This young man is a real 'gambler'."

"What does it mean?" When Okanoi asked this question, the force on his hand had already relaxed.

Seeing this, Suo pulled it and took the other party's hand away from his collar.

"The meaning of victory or defeat lies in how much chips it has to bear?" Suzu clued his clothes and said calmly, "If you win, you can't get anything, and if you lose, you won't lose anything... Can it still be called gambling?"

"You can really talk..." Okawano looked unhappy when he heard this, and wanted to curse.

Fortunately, Ryunosuke spoke in time: "Okay, okay, everyone... don't be impatient." He took a sip of sake and said, "I didn't want to mention it at first, but Sakaki's words make sense, and he also reminded me... It's almost time to tell you."

As soon as this was said, the four people at the poker table looked at Ryunosuke, ready to listen to what he was going to say next.

Obviously, Okanoi, Takagi and Igarashi have never heard of the "highest game"; although the three of them have been invited by Ryunosuke for more than a week, they only know that Young Master Arai "has something to ask them to do". As for what the specific matter is... Ryunosuke himself will not tell it, and it is not convenient for them to inquire.

"I'll just say it. The game of cards is a screening game now." Ryunosuke said, "After this half-man, the person who leads the points can stay... and the remaining three can go back."

"Hehehe..." Takagi smiled indifferently, "Kun Arai, what are the benefits of... the people who stayed, or those who were 'selected' by you?"

"Well..." Ryunosuke said, "That's the benefit you will definitely not get if you bet outside for a lifetime, but for details... I can only tell the person who stays."

At this point, he paused, observed the expressions of the four people at the table, and then said to Suo: "Mr. Suo, are you satisfied with such a bargaining chip?"

Unexpectedly, Suzu said without hesitation: "Of course I'm not satisfied."

"What!" Okanoi was shocked at the time. He glared at Shochi, "Don't be too arrogant!"

"Mr. Arai." Shizuo ignored Okanoi and quickly continued, "The conditions you gave are unfair... If you win this bet, you can get benefits, and if you lose, you just leave... I don't know what the situation of the three of them are, but I was forcibly "invited" by you. Under such conditions, winning or losing is still meaningless to me... Instead of fighting for some unknown reward, I might as well lose intentionally and cause less trouble."

After hearing this, Ryunosuke thought for a few seconds: "So...Sukajun, what do you think?"

"Just one thousand." Suzu continued, "I almost won your number in the mahjong hall today."

In this universe, the currency of the Federation is unified, named rank_macro_banknote, abbreviated as "rmb"; this currency does not print any avatars of the characters. Whether it is coins or paper money, both sides are printed with federal badges and scenic spots of the currency issuance place - for example, the money printed in Ryugun is the federal badge on the front, and the Great Wall on the back; and the money printed in Sakuranobu is also the federal badge on the front, but the reverse is Mount Fuji.

Over the past hundred years since the founding of the Federation, Rmb has been released many editions, and there are at least hundreds of currency types around the world, and there are also collectors who specialize in collecting different currencies. Of course, no matter the pattern or the denomination, Rmb is universally used worldwide.

As for the purchasing power of this currency, it is roughly the same as the parallel universe... that is, in our universe, the rmb in the early twenty-one world.

"Ha! I thought you were going to say something." Okanoi laughed out loud when he heard Kazuna's request, "Rori said so much, but he just wanted to bet a thousand? What a winner, he was so poor..."

"When the settlement is settled, every time the stick is almost the same, it is considered a thousand." The next second, Kazuka's second half of the sentence pushed back the ridicule of Okanoi.

"What did you say?" Now, not only Okanoi, but also the expressions on Takagi and Igarashi's faces changed.
