Prodigal System in the Flourishing City
Chapter 1036 - 1034: One Last Gamble
CHAPTER 1036: CHAPTER 1034: ONE LAST GAMBLE
Xia Jie was looking quite displeased when Lin Feng arrived.
It was still that same ostentatious display.
Two men in black opened the large door, revealing a long red carpet leading directly to the fleet of cars outside.
Housekeeper Jia got out of the car and opened the door for Lin Feng.
Then Lin Feng, taking his time, leisurely walked towards the entrance.
The rich on the Second Level Rich List didn’t have the strength or the guts to confront him fearlessly.
So, they immediately bent over one by one, greeting him: "Greetings to Young Master Lin!"
"What a pretentious bastard," Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and said.
Except for when meeting him in private, Lin Feng always made a big fuss!
Lin Feng didn’t even glance at those bowing; he looked directly at Lu Xiaobu and walked over!
In his eyes, these people were just a flock of sheep ready to be slaughtered, why would a wolf bother to greet them?
"Long time no see," Lin Feng said with a smile at Lu Xiaobu.
"Better never meet, every time you show up you’re here to mooch," Lu Xiaobu replied irritably.
"I was just afraid you’d overeat!" Lin Feng shrugged.
"Thank you, and thank your whole family!" Lu Xiaobu didn’t say a single nice word.
"Then let’s get started!" Lin Feng said directly.
Today, they were here to skin him alive, or you could say, they were here to rob him.
If he agreed, they might exchange a few words; if not, they’d start robbing directly!
He wasn’t in the mood for nonsense.
"Sister Lan, you go make the arrangements," Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and said.
"Yes!" Liang Lan nodded.
Then, Lu Xiaobu stood up and walked towards the adjacent room, knowing that Lin Feng wouldn’t come looking for him without a reason.
Attend the banquet?!
Did he look like someone with so much free time?
The two of them went into the next room.
"So, what is it?" Lu Xiaobu slumped into a chair, speaking weakly.
Talking with this kid was always exhausting.
"I came today to ask you one last time: will you listen to me?" Lin Feng’s expression was not relaxed in the slightest, on the contrary, it was filled with seriousness.
"What do you mean? Planning to make a move against me?" Lu Xiaobu sneered, "That’s a pointless question, you know?"
"A pointless question that still needs to be asked," Lin Feng said seriously, "I think you also know why I’m asking this!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaobu suddenly fell silent, stood up, walked to the liquor cabinet, poured himself a drink, without pouring one for Lin Feng.
He understood what Lin Feng meant.
He was now the number one on the Second Level Rich List, already the minimum threshold that the Lin Family could tolerate!
And once he stepped into the realm of the First Level Rich List, no matter what Lin Feng said, it would be impossible for him to suppress the Lin Family!
So, this might be their last somewhat peaceful interaction!
Going forward, the situation would become extremely tense, a battle of life and death!
"Alright, I know what you mean!" Lin Feng said, watching Lu Xiaobu drink alone, a subtle smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
He had guessed this answer long ago.
However, when finally hearing it, his emotions were incredibly complex!
Lu Xiaobu’s refusal marked the beginning of their complete break and opposition!
To be honest, he didn’t want it to be this way.
But if Lu Xiaobu had agreed, he knew he would definitely look down on him!
Therefore, getting this answer, he was filled with mixed feelings!
"Let’s place one last bet!" Lin Feng, as if he was at home, opened the cupboard nearby, took out two dice cups and a couple of dice, and placed them on the table.
"Alright, what’s the gamble?" Lu Xiaobu said, holding his glass of wine, dropping himself on the sofa.
"Let’s just play casually," Lin Feng didn’t specify the rules, just said it casually.
However, Lu Xiaobu laughed, for the two of them, the less defined the rules, the more complicated the bet.
"Wanna go first?" Lu Xiaobu took the dice cup, loaded it with dice, and started shaking it.
"Sure thing," Lin Feng did the same.
Clatter, clatter.
The sound of dice clashing with the cups echoed continuously within the small room.
Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng’s eyes collided in midair.
Both knew that today was perhaps the last time they could sit here, chat peacefully, drink, and play games.
After today, Lu Xiaobu would be Lin Feng’s primary obstacle to remove!
Lin Feng lamented in his heart, indescribably!
In truth, under normal circumstances this scene should have unfolded long ago!
Remember? In fact, after the Black Rose incident ended, he had already been prepared to act!
It’s just that, Lu Xiaobu kept causing disturbances in Japan repeatedly, with a significant presence.
This resulted in the Lin Family being unable to act rashly against Lu Xiaobu!
Through twists and turns, this guy ended up being the First on the Second Level Rich List, about to enter the First Level Rich List!
This was truly a matter of timing and fate!
At the same time, Lu Xiaobu felt wistful too, finally coming to this juncture!
The reason he delayed meeting Lin Feng after returning was to stall as much as possible.
One reason being unwillingness, another being to gather more strength!
However, a single Wen Cun completely shattered his plans.
Indeed, his anger toward Wen Cun certainly had its reasons rooted in this!
"Open!" Their gazes clashed, igniting sparks, as they pressed down on the dice cups!
...
They were gambling inside.
Outside, the faces of those on the Second Level Rich List were looking pretty unpleasant.
Each of them was about to explode with frustration!
What did this mean?!
They knew you were about to rob them, but at least others who rob would say, "This mountain is opened by me, this road is planted by me, if you want to pass here, leave some money!"
But not you guys, no words, no drink, just straight up expecting money, right?
However, feeling aggrieved as they might, none dared to voice it, staring at each other helplessly.
Fine, get ready to pay up!
Yet, despite being prepared to pay, how and who to do it wasn’t simple.
After all, no one wanted to be the first to step forward.
The first to pay would have too much to consider.
Being the first meant setting a precedent.
If you offer too little, you’d offend Lu Xiaobu and Lin Feng!
If you offer too much, you’d offend those on the Second Level Rich List who weren’t as prepared as you!
Clearly, if they’re not ready, and you first set the standard by paying, then what about those who follow?!
Thus, no one dared to be the first to act, exchanging awkward glances amongst themselves!
Liang Lan was in no hurry, merely watching them calmly.
No worries, stall as you wish, those anxious knew better!
Unless today’s the day they dare to trample on both Young Masters and Lin Feng’s pride.
Otherwise, the longer they drag it, the more unbearable it becomes!
