It turns out, the left over 20 million chips were actually just two circular chips that were made with some unknown material. When they were put in his hands, he couldn't feel any weight at all. In other words, Miss Seven didn't actually need him to do any manual labor or hold her chips. Even the physically weak Elder Sister Nuo could successfully throw the chips miles away if she wanted to.
However, Little Yang quickly felt the pressure and stress that the two chips were given him. With the chips in the palm of his hand, Little Yang suddenly thought about the resulting issues if he were to lose one of them accidentally… Little Yang's hand began to sweat and tremble.
The terrified expression on Little Yang's face when looking at the 20 million chips caused Li Yinfei to be a little playful. She smiled as she handed over her 50 million chips to him, "Here Little Yang, help me hold them as well."
She wanted to add into the pot and see how Little Yang would react.
Before Little Yang could react, Li Yinfei had already put the chips in Little Yang's hand.
Little Yang unconsciously held onto the chips then seemed to have discovered something. His entire body began to tremble in fear as he said weakly, "Miss Li, don-don't give it to
me."
The chips in his hand were as light as feathers, but the responsibility they represented weighed tons on his shoulders. Little Yang felt like he couldn't endure the pressure much longer and began to have countless drops of cold sweat running down his forehead… If he lost them, if he lost them, if he lost them… His brain was full of thoughts about what would happen if he were to lose them.
"Alright, I'll stop teasing you." Li Yinfei saw the terrified and pitiful expression on Little Yang's face and understood she couldn't continue her teasing any longer. She reached out with her hand and grabbed her 50 million chips back.
"Thank you Miss Li, thank you Miss Li…" Little Yang said gratefully.
"Have I bullied you?" Little Yang's behavior also made Miss Seven want to tease him so she said this purposely after seeing him behave like that.
Miss Seven's words instantly caused Little Yang to go into panic mode. He held the 20 million chips in his hand and didn't know what to do as his head just keep turning from left to right.
"Hehe!" Miss Seven couldn't help but laugh again after seeing Little Yang's pitiful expression. "Alright, I'll stop teasing you. Just don't hold anything and follow us as we play."
Hearing this, Elder Sister Nuo grabbed the two chips out of Little Yang's hands. She then sternly rolled her eyes towards him, "So weak. You're already afraid with just this little amount of money?"
Little Yang could only smile earnestly. After seeing the millions leave his hands, he finally could breathe a sigh of relief as he used his sleeve to wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead.
He wasn't afraid of lifting weights, but the chips that had no weight, made him feel that he would collapse under the pressure. If he was to lose them, even selling his body wouldn't be enough to pay it back.
Li Yinfei's beauty was phenomenal. In addition to how she was a famous individual in the world, each of her actions and movements drew the attention of the other casino goers around her. She especially drew the attention of a few guests in the casino when she showed the warm smile she had when she was teasing Little Yang
"That person is the Huaxia Federation's queen idol, Li Yinfei?" said a 30 to 40-year-old young man who was blonde and had greenish eyes.
"That's correct, my duke," the servant beside him replied with certainty.
"As expected, she really is a one of a kind beauty. Luo Lin, help me ask her out…" The young man couldn't help but lick his lips as though he had just seen his prey.
"Oh, there's another little beauty beside her. Who's that? If it's possible, I won't mind a threesome." The young man's eyes blinked perversely. It seemed that he would always look for pleasure.
"My duke, looking at the logos on the uniforms of those around her, they should be from the first-ranked elite family, Old Martial Beitang family. The Federation's top 4 elite families are always very secretive, so we shouldn't provoke them." Luo Lin quickly wiped away cold sweat as he reminded his duke. His duke had an eye not only for the queen idol Li Yinfei, but also for a troublesome lady from an elite family.
Although Li Yinfei was also part of an elite family, the Li family, she was considered to be a political a.s.set that the Li family would leverage whenever they could. However, as long as they gave the Li family enough benefits, they would be able to easily acquire Li Yinfei. This was why the servant didn't refuse his master from preying on Li Yinfei.
In the eyes of the common folk, these queen idols of the soul, well-known actors and other famous idols held high positions in their hearts. Some would even become G.o.ds among the public. However, when they fall under the watchful eyes of those with limitless power, these people were only considered to be playthings of those with power. On the other hand, they wouldn't dare to lay a hand on a lady from the elite family who was to the public knowledge, a n.o.body.
"Sh*t. I just don't understand why you're all afraid of the Federation. If we're talking military, they have Ling Xiao so he will breed fear in us. I can understand that. But, must we be afraid of elite families in the Federation?" When the duke heard that he couldn't lay his hands on the other beauty, he was unhappy.
"My duke, please watch you words," Luo Lin said softly.
The reason every country was afraid of the Federation was not only because they had more G.o.d-cla.s.s operators than all of them in each generation, for example Ling Xiao in this one. It was also the reason that the Federation's elite families had kept their power a well-kept secret. There was once a king of a small country who had his eyes set on an elite family's daughter of direct descent. He wanted to take her as a concubine, and in the end angered the second-rank elite family. The results of this anger was the destruction of this king's country.
This incident made all the other countries understand that the power the Federation showed to the public was not only the military power on the outer surface. There was also hidden powers among the elite families. If it wasn't for the fact that the Federation's military and the elite families were on guard against each other and exhausting their resources through civil disputes, the strength of the Federation may reach a point where Caesar would have difficulty dealing against. The Federation might even take control of the entire galaxy and become an existence that could not be matched by any other country.
"Understood. I'm also satisfied if it's only Li Yinfei." The duke saw his subordinate's stern expression and knew he had spoke out of line.
On the other side of the casino, in the VIP lounge on the second floor, one of the young men also saw Li Yinfei's group while he was standing near the window looking down at the crowd in the atrium.
"Hey, our queen idol actually came here as well." The young man had a sinister smile on his face and spoke to another person who was sitting on the sofa trying out some red wine.
The young man holding the red wine gla.s.s hands shook, "Li Yinfei?"
"Other than her, who else would be invited to perform for the opening ceremony here?" The sinister young man looked towards the vague poster on the wall in the VIP lounge. Just from the hint of 'queen idol of the soul' allowed them to basically know who was coming to this event.
"If she's here, she's here. Don't make a giant fuss about it," the red wine drinking young man said indifferently.
"I'm not surprised she's here. I'm only surprised that she had brought someone that I didn't think would come here." The sinister young man had a weird smile on his face.
The red wine drinking young man saw the other man's expression and knew something was off, "Who?"
"That servant who is standing beside them has a chimera totem embroidered on his uniform…" The sinister young man looked towards Little Yang, who was following Miss Seven closely, and frowned. When he first looked at them, Little Yang gave him an odd feeling of familiarity. However, when he had a closer look, that feeling of familiarity disappeared.
