Chapter 6: Chapter 6 One Million Gold Coins

In the gambling hall, under the suppression of Arthur and the knights of the Wilson Family, the gamblers, whose eyes had turned red from losing money, finally sobered up.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood, and several corpses lay haphazardly on the ground, their eyes wide open in death.

Arthur sternly shouted, "The dignity of the Wilson Family cannot be provoked! Is there anyone else who wants to cause trouble!?"

As Arthur's voice fell, a wave of Essence Energy from a sixth-tier expert spread out, knocking many gamblers directly to the ground.

"What a bunch of idiots, daring to cause trouble in the underground arena! Who doesn't know this is the territory of the Wilson Family!"

"They're all a bunch of desperate gamblers. I bet many of them will soon become Slaves."

"No choice, Shura really scammed a lot of money this time. Even my thirty gold coins are gone."

Many nobles stood on the upper floor, watching the show. Although they also lost money, for them, a few gold coins were insignificant.

The air fell silent. The gamblers dared not oppose the Wilson Family, but they were also unwilling to leave.

Just then, a calm voice sounded.

"Move aside!"

Everyone turned to look, only to see Ze Kai, wearing a Shura mask, appearing at the entrance of the gambling hall with Shuang Ya, You Ying, and Bai Ling.

Seeing the instigator who caused them to lose all their money, anger quickly made the gamblers lose their reason.

"Shura, you actually hid your strength! You must compensate me for my ten gold coins!"

"That's right, and my fifty gold coins!"

"You must compensate all of us for our losses!"

Many gamblers rushed directly towards the group. Shuang Ya and You Ying instantly bared their fangs, standing guard on either side of Ze Kai with wary expressions.

But before the maddened gamblers could get close, a terrifying pressure spread out, causing the gamblers to roll their eyes and collapse to the ground.

The sound of bodies falling echoed continuously, and the scene was extremely eerie.

Arthur frowned. He also felt a strange pressure, somewhat similar to killing intent.

A very peculiar power.

Seeing Ze Kai approach with his group, Arthur smiled and took the initiative to say, "Shura, I am Wilson Arthur. I think we can have a good chat."

With the gamblers falling and the arena profiting, he had a good impression of Shura.

Moreover, Ator was dead, and the arena needed a new ace. Shura was the best candidate.

The one who defeats Shura can take off his mask—what a great gimmick!

But soon, the smile on Arthur's face froze. Ze Kai didn't even acknowledge him, walking past him directly.

Shuang Ya and the others followed closely, as if they hadn't seen Arthur.

"I'm here for the money, one million gold coins."

Ze Kai's voice was calm, but to everyone's ears, it was like a thunderous roar.

"One million, I didn't mishear, did I?"

"That hateful Shura, he knew he would win all along and bet ten thousand gold coins on himself!"

"One million gold coins! Will the underground arena really pay it out?"

...The onlookers discussed, all with a 'watching the show' mentality, very curious how the Wilson Family would react.

At this moment, the counter lady trembled all over, her revealing clothes showing everyone what true 'surging waves' were.

Her face was covered in sweat, and her expression was extremely ugly. She had an impression of Shura, after all, ten thousand gold coins was a large sum.

However, like everyone else, she believed Shura would definitely lose, and the ten thousand gold coins would be in the arena's pocket, so she didn't care.

But now, Shura won!

She was finished too!

"One million gold coins, what one million gold coins?"

Arthur's face showed anger, but hearing the enormous sum, he still suppressed his temper first.

"Lord Ar... Arthur, Shu... Shura bet on himself to win, he bet te... ten thousand gold coins!" the counter lady stammered.

Arthur reacted, and his expression completely darkened.

He had originally thought the gamblers were the suckers, but now he realized that their arena was the real sucker.

Shura winning this bet was almost impossible. Originally, the arena could have earned nearly two hundred thousand gold coins, but now, they had to pay out an additional eight hundred thousand.

"Shura, you did this on purpose?" Arthur said with a cold tone.

Ze Kai's tone remained calm, "Is the arena not planning to pay this money?"

Arthur's face was grim. At this moment, not only ordinary people were watching, but also many nobles. News here could not be concealed.

If other ravenous families found out that the arena run by the Wilson Family broke its rules, in a while, Quartz City would have several more arenas.

By then, the reputation of the Wilson Family's arena would be ruined, and no one would come again. The loss would be far more than one million gold coins.

Having thought everything through, Arthur said with a grim expression, "That won't happen. The reputation of our Wilson Family is guaranteed."

A hint of disappointment flashed in the eyes of several nobles watching from the second floor, and they secretly sighed, 'What a pity.'

Ze Kai chuckled inwardly, but said nothing, instead taking out a storage crystal from his pocket and placing it on the counter.

Arthur's expression became even uglier, and he forced a stiff smile, saying, "Shura, I wonder if you're interested in joining the underground arena?"

Ze Kai turned to look at him, and said flatly, "No."

Arthur's fighting spirit fluctuated, but he quickly controlled it, shouting at the trembling counter lady.

"What are you standing around for? Go get the gold coins!"

Soon, bag after bag of gold coins were brought out. Ze Kai said to Bai Ling, "Bai Ling, come over and count them."

Bai Ling, hearing this, didn't ask further and walked to the counter to count the gold coins.

Seeing this, Arthur could no longer stay and left the gambling hall directly.

Ze Kai didn't mind. Since he dared to come, he had naturally made preparations.

Soon, Bai Ling finished counting, activated her Essence Energy, and put the gold coins into the storage crystal.

The most important reason Ze Kai asked her to count the gold coins was that he had no Essence Energy and couldn't use the storage crystal.

Soon, all the gold coins were loaded into the storage crystal.

"Young Master." Bai Ling handed the storage crystal to Ze Kai.

Ze Kai took the storage crystal, pretended to put it in his pocket, but in reality, it was already in his system space.

"Let's go."

The group left the gambling hall directly.

Along the way, many greedy gazes fell on Ze Kai.

Clearly, tonight was destined to be eventful.

What they didn't know was that all malice could not escape Ze Kai's Observation Haki.

That's right, his Observation Haki was a special Observation Haki that could perceive the emotions of others.

It was weaker than Princess Otohime's in the Pirate World, but it had the advantage of being controllable.

At the arena entrance.

"Young Master, many people are secretly following us." Shuang Ya sniffed, saying.

She was a wolf beast-person, with a sense of smell as keen as a wolf's, allowing her to detect people following them.

Ze Kai said indifferently, "Let them come. They're just a bunch of greedy fools."
