Chapter 114: We’ll Cooperate Again
However, to the tycoons present, this amount of money was actually nothing special.
Losing tens of billions in a single night was perfectly normal for them.
Aside from Chu Feng, who had won a massive amount, and Liu Song, who had won a little, the other big bosses had all lost several billion, more or less.
"I’m out, I’m out." Before Chu Feng could even speak, someone else called it quits.
The guy had barely won a few hands all night and had basically been losing money nonstop.
Of everyone there, only Chu Feng had made out like a bandit, winning over thirty billion directly. Zhao Liu also walked away with over twenty billion.
This single night’s earnings were equivalent to what he had gained through decades of hard work.
"Young man, you’ve got some serious skill. Sixth Master, we’ll continue next time. Brother Chu, how about we go upstairs for a drink?" Liu Song said with a smile. He had taken a liking to Chu Feng’s gambling prowess.
He wanted to use this opportunity to win him over and build a connection.
"Thanks, but I’ll pass. I have to get back," Chu Feng refused outright.
"Alright then. I’m sure we’ll meet again if the opportunity arises," Liu Song said, still smiling. In truth, after playing this long, he didn’t dare to challenge Chu Feng anymore.
If Chu Feng had kept playing, he probably would have won every last penny Liu Song had on him.
"You few, take the money, go round up our people. We’re getting ready to leave," Zhao Liu ordered his bodyguards.
"Yes, Sixth Master." The bodyguards picked up the suitcases and left.
Zhao Liu and Chu Feng leisurely left the room and went to the top deck of the cruise ship to enjoy the sea breeze.
Chu Feng called Su Miaoke. "Honey, we’re done here. We’re getting ready to leave."
"Sixth Master, a situation like today... do you think there’ll be..." Chu Feng asked, a little worried.
’It wasn’t himself he was worried about, but his wife.’
He was fearless on his own, but now his wife and his classmate were here too.
If anything were to happen, it would be extremely troublesome.
"Don’t worry, it’s unlikely. I’ve arranged for one of my company’s ships to meet us. It should be arriving soon. We’ll just board that one," Zhao Liu said.
"Sixth Master, you always plan for everything," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"When you live this kind of life, you’re bound to get burned. Once you do, you learn to be cautious," Zhao Liu said with a sigh.
"That’s true," Chu Feng nodded.
’Zhao Liu had survived in Beihai for so many years; he must have risked his life to get where he was. To make it this far, you needed brains and ability. Without them, he would have been taken out long ago.’
As the two of them chatted, Zhao Quan and the others arrived on the top deck with Su Miaoke and Gao Feng.
Then, under the protection of the bodyguards, the group boarded the same cruise ship they had arrived on. Chu Feng remained fully focused, sensing his surroundings, worried someone might try something or lay an ambush.
However, everything was normal. After everyone was aboard, the cruise ship started up and headed toward a cargo ship in the distance.
About fifteen minutes later, a cargo ship appeared before them.
Only after they were safely on the cargo ship did Zhao Liu and Chu Feng finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Honey, what on earth were you doing today? Did you rob a bank or something?" Su Miaoke asked cautiously.
She was terrified by the deposit of over thirty billion and had no idea where Chu Feng had gotten the money.
"Don’t worry, the money is clean. I earned it all myself," Chu Feng said.
"Sixth Master, is there somewhere suitable for us to talk?" Chu Feng asked.
"Yes, follow me," Zhao Liu replied.
He knew what Chu Feng wanted to talk about, so he led the two of them to a room. It was quiet, with a very thick door, making it impossible for anyone outside to overhear.
"Brother Chu, today was absolutely exhilarating!" Zhao Liu was overjoyed. He had won a tremendous amount of money.
"Sixth Master, we agreed on a forty-sixty split. How did it become sixty for me and forty for you?" This was what Chu Feng wanted to discuss.
Back on the cruise ship, Su Miaoke had shown him the text message for the deposit. It was a full thirty-plus billion. According to their agreed-upon ratio, he should have only received around twenty-plus billion.
"You... what kind of stakes were you playing with? You won sixty billion in just a few hours?" Su Miaoke felt her breath catch in her throat. This was absolutely terrifying.
"Brother Chu, let’s not talk about this anymore. I feel like I’m already taking too much with forty percent. I’m taking advantage of you. With your skills, Brother Chu, you could have easily won this much all on your own. I’m more than satisfied with over twenty billion," Zhao Liu said with a smile.
"How can I accept that? We agreed on forty for me, sixty for you," Chu Feng said.
"I’m already taking more than I should. I basically did nothing at all. I’m perfectly happy getting this much for free. Let’s not say another word about it. It’s settled. Just consider it me taking advantage of you," Zhao Liu said.
The fifteen billion he had brought this time was his own private stash, his personal money.
Chu Feng had helped him win so much that his personal assets now totaled nearly forty billion. He was already very content.
"In that case, thank you, Sixth Master. I actually have something I’d like to ask for your help with," Chu Feng said.
"Brother Chu, there’s no need for such formalities between us. Whatever it is, just say the word. I’ll definitely get it done for you. And if I can’t, I’ll find a way to get it done," Zhao Liu said.
"I need some rare and valuable medicinal herbs. The older, the better. With your connections, Sixth Master, that should be a simple matter, right?" Chu Feng said.
"Just some medicinal herbs? That’s a piece of cake. Just give me a list of what you need, and I guarantee I’ll find them all for you. And don’t worry about the cost, it’s all on me," Zhao Liu said.
"Alright, I’ll get you the list later. Miaoke, transfer two billion to Sixth Master. We’ll consider it payment for the herbs," Chu Feng said to Su Miaoke.
"Okay," Su Miaoke nodded.
"I’ll handle the herbs, but there’s no need for the money. Didn’t I just make over twenty billion? How much could a few herbs possibly cost?" Zhao Liu said, waving his hand dismissively.
"If there are any more games in the future, we can continue to cooperate. I’ll make the connections, and you just focus on winning," Zhao Liu continued.
Hearing this, Chu Feng thought for a moment and didn’t argue. "Alright. If another opportunity like this comes up, just let me know, Sixth Master."
"You got it! The moment something comes up, you’ll be the first person I call, Brother Chu. We’ll make a fortune together!" Zhao Liu said happily, slinging an arm around Chu Feng’s shoulder.
In his eyes, Chu Feng was his personal God of Wealth. In just a few hours, he had made more money than he had in decades of hard work.
"Alright, it’s getting late. Brother Chu, you two should get some rest. I’ve had rooms prepared for you. Someone will wake you when we reach Beihai," Zhao Liu said to Chu Feng.
"How long until we get to Beihai?" Chu Feng asked.
"We should reach Beihai around dawn," Zhao Liu said.
