Chapter 8: Vegas Casino Power 8

Top floor of Carlo Casino.

Shi Wu leaned into Pei Yanzhi's embrace, her fingers gently tracing his collarbone.

He lowered his head, affectionately kissing her forehead.

His arm was wrapped tightly around the woman, as if he feared she would leave, wishing he could grow barbs on his palm to hook her skin so she wouldn't go.

Or perhaps, after the drug in her system wore off, he could give her another dose.

Yes, the lab should research a long-lasting version of the drug.

"What are you thinking about?" Shi Wu looked up, her eyes gazing at him tenderly.

Pei Yanzhi gently shook his head.

How could he say that his mind was on how to keep her imprisoned by his side?

Shi Wu smiled, leaned up, and kissed his cheek.

His previously flustered heart seemed to be soothed by her kiss in that moment.

The feeling of anxiety and fear of loss also lessened.

"Hubby, I want to drink the juice you made for me last time," Shi Wu said softly, a hint of a whine in her voice.

Hmm?

Hubby...

This drug works so well.

Allocate another billion to the lab!

"What's wrong, hubby?" Shi Wu blinked her almond-shaped eyes, looking at him curiously.

Pei Yanzhi lowered his head and held her tightly in his arms.

"I'm just too happy. Hubby will go make the juice right away, wifey, wait for me."

Saying this, he reluctantly kissed Shi Wu several times before getting up to make her juice.

Ten minutes later, Pei Yanzhi entered the bedroom with the juice.

The bed, however, was empty.

His heart instantly filled with panic.

What's going on?

Previous experiments showed it should last at least twenty-four hours.

In that instant, Pei Yanzhi's expression gradually darkened.

He couldn't bear Shi Wu leaving him; he wanted to possess her forever, to have her by his side always.

No matter the cost!

In his anger, the glass cup in his hand shattered.

The glass cut his hand, and the juice seeped into his wound, a stinging sensation instantly spreading.

"Hubby, what's wrong?" Shi Wu poked half her body out of the bathroom, looking at him with a dazed expression.

At this moment, there was still some un-wiped foam at the corner of her lips.

She had just gone to wash up.

"You didn't leave?" Pei Yanzhi frantically rushed forward and embraced her.

Shi Wu frowned, pushed him away, and picked up his bleeding hand to examine it.

With a somewhat complaining tone, she said, "How can you be so careless? You're such a big person, and you still managed to cut your hand."

As soon as she finished speaking, her lips landed on his wound the next second.

The scent of blood mixed with the taste of juice spread between their lips...

The man's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

His other hand gently stroked the woman's hair, again and again.

After Shi Wu bandaged his wound, she accompanied him to the kitchen and made another glass of juice.

Watching Shi Wu drink her beverage, Pei Yanzhi checked the time on his watch.

There were still a few hours left before the drug's effects might slowly wear off.

"Wifey, how about I take you to see my secret base?"

"Okay." Shi Wu nodded, resting her head on his shoulder.

The two then took a helicopter to a cruise ship on the high seas.

This ship was an offshore branch venue of Carlo Casino.

One needed to pass a financial verification to board the ship.

Here, one could become the world's richest person overnight, or go from the world's richest person to a beggar, or even a corpse, overnight...

On the unrestricted high seas.

This was heaven, and also hell.

By now, the sky had gradually darkened, and less than two hours remained until the drug's effects would wear off.

Pei Yanzhi still had a dose of the drug in his pocket.

But he was very hesitant now.

After all, the lab had not yet fully understood the side effects of this drug.

He didn't want his beloved woman to take this risk, but he also couldn't bear for her to leave him.

Pei Yanzhi led her to the eleventh floor of the cruise ship.

The theme of this floor was called 'Beast Fight'.

An iron cage stood in the center, surrounded by luxurious private rooms where people placed their bets.

Pei Yanzhi brought Shi Wu to the control room.

The people inside stood up one after another upon seeing Pei Yanzhi's arrival.

"President Pei."

Upon seeing Shi Wu standing beside him, they looked very surprised.

Firstly, they were surprised by her extraordinary beauty.

Secondly, they were shocked that Pei Yanzhi actually had a woman by his side.

As the power holder of Carlo Casino, his assets could be described as mysterious; no one knew how much money he had.

After all, his money was never kept in banks.

Rivals would send women to approach Pei Yanzhi to try and discover his trump cards, and some self-proclaimed clever women would try to seduce him.

Pei Yanzhi would accept all comers.

Because those women would all be sent to this cruise ship, either to become betting stakes or live targets.

After all, if they offered themselves, why refuse?

Pei Yanzhi picked up the remote control from the control room and placed it in Shi Wu's hand.

He pointed to the buttons on it and said, "Each button can release a different skill."

"Blue is for the beast."

"Red is for the person."

Shi Wu held the remote control, her eyes looking towards the huge iron cage in front.

At this moment, on the stage, there was an African leopard and a woman with an 'L' tattooed on her arm.

The system explained: 【Female assassin from the L organization, she has approximately 99+ lives on her hands.】

Shi Wu looked up at the man beside her.

Pei Yanzhi, he really was a complete lunatic!

The next second, Shi Wu pressed the blue button.

The leopard suddenly let out a roar, and its entire size rapidly doubled.

The bettors around screamed.

The leopard slapped the female assassin to the ground.

Shi Wu immediately pressed the red button.

The female assassin sprang up from the ground, and then, a dagger appeared in her hand.

So, this was the weapon button.

According to the display screen next to them, 70% of people betting on the leopard believed it would win.

Only 30% favored the female assassin, and that number was constantly decreasing.

Shi Wu simply pressed all the red buttons.

KO!

In one second, the leopard was dead.

Shi Wu didn't even see how it died.

The entire venue was silent for three seconds; it seemed everyone hadn't fully recovered.

Clap, clap, clap.

Pei Yanzhi clapped his hands excitedly, then cupped Shi Wu's face and kissed her as if rewarding her.

"Wifey, you're amazing! I've never played like this before!"

Saying this, Pei Yanzhi hugged Shi Wu tightly again; he felt as if he had found a kindred spirit.

"Wifey, you seem even crazier than me..."

Shi Wu didn't think she was crazy.

She simply didn't understand the functions of those buttons and just wanted to try pressing them randomly.

The result, however, was what she wanted.

She loved it when something underestimated suddenly stood before everyone in a victorious stance.

That kind of thrill, that kind of satisfaction, was inexpressible.

"Is there more? I want to play more." Shi Wu looked at Pei Yanzhi with earnest eyes.
