Chapter 138 - 33: The Fish Takes the Bait (2)
"Hahaha, you're too kind, too kind, my lords!"
The Daimyo of the Land of Wind eagerly swept the colorful chips into his arms, his face flushed with excitement and eyes gleaming with vigor. He suddenly plucked a chip from his winnings and tossed it to the dealer.
"Here you go, God of Gambling. A reward for dealing such favorable cards today."
"Much obliged, my lord."
Blood Pool Gao Jin caught it smoothly with a slight bow. Upon inspection - hmph, merely a silver triangle chip.
He inwardly cursed, "Damn, I worked my ass off helping you win over ten million tonight, and this penny-pincher tips me just this much?"
When the "Daimyo Group" arrived at the Wind Hall of the Crystal Palace, they were greeted by none other than the "God of Gambling" Gao Jin who had just been performing on stage. He must have rushed over right after the curtain call, still sporting that slicked-back hairstyle though minus the dramatic black coat.
"Well, well! Aren't you the God of Gambling? What brings you here?"
The Wind Daimyo exclaimed with delighted surprise. The other Daimyos also murmured their amazement.
Blood Pool Gao Jin gave a measured bow to the lords and replied.
"Indeed, my lords, I was the God of Gambling in the play earlier, but that's merely my hobby. My official position is the managing director of the Wind Hall at the Crystal Palace Casino. I came straight to work after the performance, and for distinguished guests such as yourselves, I naturally came to serve you personally. What would you like to play?"
