Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 69 Casino

The hotel owner came up to express his gratitude, saying, "I didn't expect you to be so talented! I'll give you a discount on your future room rates, haha."

"It's alright, it's just a matter of helping those in need."

"Oh, really? That's great! The rent is still the same."

"Damn, boss, I was just being polite."

"But you've offended the Golden Leopard family!"

It seemed the boss was planning to brush this matter off. Di Xing sighed; he was already planning to buy a house anyway.

"It's nothing, I'm used to it. But boss, what's wrong with your son?"

"Don't even mention it. That brat got cheated by his bad friends, got addicted to gambling, racked up a mountain of debt at Xunbao Casino, and now nobody knows where he's gone."

Xunbao Casino, what a coincidence, I was just about to go there!

"Sigh, it's not just my son; many young people in the district have been scammed and become addicted to gambling. Many have even lost their families," the shopkeeper sighed. Di Xing remained silent.

Just then, the sound of wheels approached from afar; the Iceflame Express, which they had seen the previous night, was heading straight for them.

Huh? Could it be that the delivery lady didn't leave?

But when the car got closer and he saw who was inside, Di Xing was stunned. It was Ai Xiao!

"Hehe, Di Xing, have you missed me?" Ai Xiao flashed her signature sweet smile again.

At this moment, Lunya and Nami also came downstairs. When Nami saw the Ice Flame Express, her eyes lit up.

"Wow, what a cool motorcycle!" Then she pounced on it. This blonde girl seems to be a tech enthusiast.

Di Xing lifted her by the armpits and carried her back, then the group returned to the house and began to talk.

I learned from Ai Xiao that she had finally managed to persuade her brother to let her stay on the fourth floor for a while after much pleading and cajoling. Then he borrowed the Ice Flame Express from Su Wandi.

"The people from Super Su Delivery arrived last night and quickly repaired the Ice Flame Express. They've temporarily handed it over to me, since I promised to help you find Yi Wu," Ai said with a smile. "With this motorcycle, we can reach the Clean Water District in one morning."

"Thanks. We can conveniently stop by the Swift Leopard Casino on our way; I have some business there."

"You're not thinking of gambling, are you? You've never won at card games, even when you're guessing a coin toss; you're obviously someone with really bad luck."

"Well, it's not mainly about the gambling licenses, but rather some other things."

So the group divided the tasks: Ai Xiao and Di Xing went to the clean water area, stopping at the casino along the way; Lunia and Ruan Nuo went to work at the card shop.

"What about me?" Nami, who had been left behind, was quite dissatisfied.

Di Xing thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you come with us and become a mechanic?" Upon hearing that she could ride the Ice Flame Express, Nami's mouth almost stretched to her ears with joy, and her two little tiger teeth were showing.

Ai Xiao seemed somewhat dissatisfied with losing the time she could spend alone with Di Xing, but she didn't say anything.

The Ice Flame Express was enormous, with additional seating compartments on both sides of the rear, easily accommodating four people. Along the way, Nami curiously looked around. Di Xing even tried driving the motorcycle for a while, enjoying it for a bit, but found it somewhat difficult to handle. Finally, Di Xing and Ai Xiao realized that Nami seemed to have a natural talent for riding it, so they both sat in the back and did nothing, leaving Nami happily speeding along the road. Truly, a working-class saint!

Two hours later, they arrived at the casino, which was very luxurious, with many beautiful women dressed as bunny girls standing at the entrance to attract customers.

Ai Xiao saw the bunny girls pulling at Di Xing with dissatisfaction, "Do you really want to go into a place like that?"

"If you're worried, come inside with me. I need to help the innkeeper with some trouble."

"Okay, but you have to give me all the money you have on you first."

"Huh? No need, right? I can control myself."

"Hmph, men's words are lies."

Even Lei Xi secretly told him to give the money to Ai Xiao for safekeeping. Di Xing had no choice but to do so, since he didn't have much money to begin with.

Nami excitedly said she wanted to continue studying the motorcycle in the parking lot and wouldn't go in with the two of them. So Di Xing and Ai Xiao went into the casino. At the entrance, the bunny girl even winked at Di Xing, and Ai Xiao immediately became wary and pulled Di Xing closer to her.

Upon entering the casino, Di Xing found its design to be classic, just like the one he had seen in Persona 5: low ceilings, bright red carpets, and dimly lit walls with only rows of slot machines flashing enticingly. In the center of the casino, a huge Russian roulette wheel was spinning merrily, and the seemingly chaotic tablecloths formed a maze from which one could not escape. Even the air was filled with an alluring and tempting fragrance.

The casino's color scheme is red and black. Apart from the various gambling facilities, the overall lighting is rather dim, making people want to go to the brightly lit facilities and then be tempted to play a few rounds.

Ai Xiao pinched Di Xing's arm, bringing him back to his senses.

"I think you're practically bewitched by the gambling table. Hurry up and finish what you need to do and get out of here."

Di Xing looked around again and saw that the casino was packed with people. However, he quickly spotted a man on the second floor wearing a white suit, holding a wine glass, and constantly tossing coins with his free left hand. If he wasn't mistaken, he should be the person in charge of this casino.

"I want them to forgive the hotel owner's son's gambling debts. Is there any way to meet with the person in charge?" Di Xing whispered in Ai Xiao's ear.

Ai Xiao shook her head. "It's difficult to meet the person in charge directly in this kind of casino unless you can pique his interest."

"Shall we still gamble a couple of times? Don't worry, casinos usually let newcomers win for a while. If I win three rounds and then leave, I'll definitely get their attention."

Helpless, Ai Xiao could only give Di Xing a small portion of the money first. Di Xing happily took it and was about to leave.

"Wait, materialize me. I want to supervise you together with Miss Ai Xiao."

Di Xing could only helplessly materialize the Tears of the Heart. Watching Di Xing run away happily, the Tears of the Heart quietly said to Ai Xiao...

"Miss Ai Xiao, Di Xing has really bad luck. You've seen it yourself, he always loses at rock-paper-scissors and he can't even guess the coin toss correctly. Hmm, let's just call this ability the 'back attack halo' for now. Why don't we bet against him every time? Maybe we can make some money."

Although Ai Xiao sensed a hint of hostility in Lei Xi's eyes, her suggestion was indeed sound. Moreover, she herself harbored hostility towards the beautiful Ka Ling, fearing that Ka Ling might have ulterior motives. In fact, her guess was quite accurate.

Seeing Di Xing approach the Texas Hold'em table, Ai Xiao quickly pulled him away and suggested, "Let's start with something simple, try playing coin toss."

"Huh? That's too easy, boring."
