"My God!"

"It's 'tie' again!"

"Haha, it's 'tie' again!"

"This time I finally bet with it!"

"Damn, why didn't I follow him earlier?"

Several gamblers were cheering incessantly over there.

Only the middle-aged man who bet on the tiger looked very frustrated.

The middle-aged dealer was completely bewildered.

He was sure that there had been cheating from the backstage just now.

There's no way a 'tie' could appear.

Then how come there are two '6's on the table now?

Wana and Mo Juedu knew a bit about the workings of the casino, understanding that the gamblers couldn't always be allowed to win.

Who would have thought that when Lu Li sat down here, he kept on winning!

Both of them instantly realized that Lu Li must have been using some mysterious supernatural power!

Brother Gu, Chen Man Ni, and Zhen Qiang felt the same.

Initially, they were puzzled by why Lu Li had such good luck, managing to win no matter what he bet on.

After observing a few rounds consecutively, they suddenly realized that Lu Li was no ordinary person.

Winning continuously could only be due to one possibility: Lu Li was using supernatural powers.

However, what puzzled this group was that someone of Lu Li's stature shouldn't have any trouble with the casino.

Then why did he keep using his powers to win the casino's money?

Wana, Brother Gu, and Zhen Qiang weren't fools; they suddenly recalled that Lu Li lost the third round he bet on.

At that moment, they vaguely understood something.

Undoubtedly, Lu Li hadn't used his supernatural powers to cheat in the first two rounds.

Up until the third round, the casino cheated first, angering Lu Li, prompting him to use his powers!

In the past, only the casino cheated to win gamblers' money.

But now the situation has reversed?

This made Wana and Mo Juedu feel both strange and amused.

Brother Gu, Sun Demin, and Chen Man Ni, for some reason, felt a bit thrilled.

The look in the middle-aged dealer's eyes toward Lu Li completely changed.

As a top-tier dealer, with "tech" support, he was prepared to have a good showdown with Lu Li.

Winning, preferably.

But even if he had to lose, he wanted to find evidence of Lu Li's cheating so the other party couldn't leave!

The middle-aged dealer, keeping his expression neutral, continued to place the cards into the shuffling machine.

Lu Li, as before, tossed another three hundred thousand on 'tie'.

"Quick, follow!"

"Bet with him!"

A group of gamblers went wild, frenziedly betting along with him.

Lu Li took this moment to turn and smile at Wana, Brother Gu, and the others, "Why don't you all place a little bet with me?"

Wana helplessly smiled, "The casino owner is my friend; it's not great for me to win his money."

Sun Demin, Brother Gu, Chen Man Ni, and the others had no such concerns.

Upon hearing Lu Li's invitation to join in the bet, they all borrowed one hundred thousand in chips from Mo Juedu to follow the bet.

Sun Demin, Brother Gu, Chen Man Ni, Zhen Qiang, and a few others.

In no time, besides Lu Li's three hundred thousand in chips, along with ten thousand more combined from seven or eight gamblers on 'tie', the total chips on 'tie' reached about one million two hundred thousand.

The middle-aged dealer's eyes changed, his palms sweating profusely.

But since the cards were shuffled, he couldn't possibly not continue dealing.

Helplessly, the middle-aged dealer could only hope that the backstage had adjusted the cards, and prayed fervently for another 'tie' not to appear.

...

Backstage.

The casino owner, a Huaxia man, named Zhao Guinong.

He and a number of high-ranking casino officials had realized something was off earlier, during the consecutive 'tie's, and had been watching backstage.

This time, they couldn't have anticipated that Lu Li not only placed three hundred thousand in chips himself, but others followed suit, reaching a total of over one million.

If they paid out, wouldn't they have to shell out over nine hundred thousand?

This made Zhao Guinong restless, speaking to the backstage control staff: "There must be no 'tie'!"

The operator responded quickly, "Understood, boss."

Despite having issued orders, Zhao Guinong still felt uneasy, keeping his eyes glued to the screen.

He clearly saw from the backstage that a King of Hearts would be dealt to the dragon, and a 4 of Clubs to the tiger.

However, what happened next horrified Zhao Guinong and the casino executives!

When their ace dealer dealt the cards, they turned out to be two 4s.

The tiger side still had the 4 of Clubs.

But the dragon side's card turned into a 4 of Diamonds!

Zhao Guinong's pupils dilated, and he could no longer sit still, urgently saying, "Hurry down and check what's going on."

"Go take a look now."

"If he keeps playing like this, our casino will lose everything to him!"

Several other high-ranking officials couldn't stay seated either, hastily following the boss downstairs.

...

In just a short while.

Lu Li's chips went from five thousand to seventeen million seven hundred and forty-five thousand.

He remained calm and placed a few more bets on "tie".

Despite the middle-aged dealer trying his best to stall, another round was dealt, increasing Lu Li's chips from seventeen million seven hundred and forty-five thousand to twenty million one hundred forty-five thousand.

At this moment, Lu Li was preparing to place another bet.

A group of gamblers was also ready to follow suit.

Initially, there were only seven or eight gamblers at this table.

However, as everyone reacted with excitement.

Another twenty or so gamblers were attracted to the table.

Soon, the area around the table was crowded with people.

Everyone watched Lu Li eagerly, hoping to continue betting with him.

Sun Demin, Brother Gu, Chen Man Ni, Zhen Qiang, and the other six companions also won quite a bit of money with Lu Li, each of them very excited.

Suddenly, a large group of well-dressed Huaxia people approached.

At the lead was Zhao Guinong, who initially appeared fierce, seemingly prepared to impose some "sanction" on Lu Li.

However, upon seeing Wana standing behind Lu Li, his expression changed dramatically, and he immediately put on a smiling face.

Zhao Guinong approached with a smile, greeted Wana, and then spoke to Lu Li and the group of gamblers in an apologetic tone, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, but there seems to be an issue with this table. We need to temporarily stop its use. Please try your luck at other tables. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience."

"Tch."

"Can't handle losing."

"Disperse, disperse, they're not letting us play."

The crowd of gamblers voiced their discontent and dispersed.

Lu Li glanced at Zhao Guinong, stood up, and said with a smile, "Alright, then I'll try my luck elsewhere."

Zhao Guinong was startled and quickly grabbed Lu Li, pleading, "Sir, sir, if I, Xiaozhao, have offended you in any way, please let me know. I, Zhao Guinong, promise to correct any wrongs, stand straight for a scolding, and just ask for your mercy."

Looks like the casino owner was terrified of Lu Li winning so much.

Wana and Mo Juedu chuckled secretly, knowing that Zhao Guinong, a person who usually cheats and swindles money from gamblers, had suffered a huge loss to Lu Li this time.

Brother Gu, Chen Man Ni, Sun Demin, Zhen Qiang, and the others felt the same.

How could they not see that Lu Li was teaching this casino a lesson!

Seeing Zhao Guinong's good attitude in admitting his mistake, Lu Li decided not to be petty.

He smiled back and said calmly, "I originally came here just for some light gambling and entertainment, but it seems like this isn't the place for that. So... hmm, since Boss Zhao has personally stepped in, let's just leave it at that. Wana and I will go to other casinos so as not to trouble you anymore."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

Zhao Guinong felt extremely grateful, thinking to himself that he had finally sent away this troublesome god.

If Wana hadn't been here, he might have shown a more "malicious" side.

But in Mandalay, Wana was too powerful.

Zhao Guinong wouldn't dare to offend him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to keep the casino running.

Because this is a legal casino, taxes need to be paid on winnings.

Therefore, when chips are exchanged for cash, the tax is deducted immediately.

With a tax rate of about 20%, Lu Li won over twenty million and ended up taking away just over fifteen million.

...

Later, Lu Li accompanied Wana to two or three more casinos.

Unfortunately, they didn't stay long before being "asked" to leave.

By the time they reached the fifth casino, perhaps having received some information, they were outright refused service.

Well, it's obvious that Lu Li had been blacklisted by all the casinos in Mandalay.

Even though he only played in four casinos, Lu Li's haul was significant.

After paying taxes, he brought out around 60 million RMB.

Inside the car.

Wana sat in the passenger seat, turned his head, and laughed, "Mr. Lu, your gambling skills are absolutely astonishing. Several casinos were terrified of your wins."

Lu Li chuckled, a bit helpless, "It's just a pity they blacklisted me, otherwise I'd love to play a bit longer."

Wana exaggeratedly said, "And you still want to continue? If you keep playing, all the casinos in Mandalay will practically have your name on them."

Lu Li was amused by him.

They exchanged a bit of small talk.

Wana enthusiastically asked, "Mr. Lu, do you want to take all this money back to Huaxia, or should I help you convert it to US dollars and open an overseas account?"

Lu Li asked, "If I bring this money back, do I need to pay additional taxes?"

Wana seemed quite informed about this, "I heard from some of you Huaxia people that according to your country's laws, the tax rate for gambling winnings is 20%. If a Huaxia resident earns income abroad, they are allowed to deduct the personal income tax already paid abroad from the taxes payable according to Huaxia's 'Personal Income Tax Law'. The deductible amount should not exceed the tax payable on overseas income. So, if the tax paid abroad exceeds 20%, you don't need to pay additional taxes when back in Huaxia. If the tax paid abroad is less than 20%, you would need to pay some taxes upon returning to Huaxia. In your case, it's obvious you don't need to pay more."

Lu Li had a good understanding of this, "Alright, then please help me transfer the money back home. I'm in urgent need of funds there."

Wana promptly said, "Sure, I'll have someone take care of that for you in a bit."

Lu Li hummed in agreement and started chatting casually with Wana again.

He earned about 60 million today.

Including the over 20 million previously in his bank account.

His cash assets unknowingly approached 100 million.

And this isn't all of his assets.

There's also Fan Zeng's painting, possibly worth over 20 million.

With this calculation, his assets have surpassed 100 million, making him a billionaire?
