Chapter 155 Chapter 155 Daring to Bet Your Life? The Strong Among the Thousand Hands!
Dare you?
Actually, Shen Xiao was somewhat afraid!
Especially after seeing Ye Fan's piercing gaze, Shen Xiao was uncertain whether Ye Fan was in a state of idiocy or if he had already awakened!
If Ye Fan was a fool, then with the master of the Thousands Technique on his side, dealing with a fool would surely pose no problem.
But if Ye Fan had awakened, his strength was above the Martial Venerable Realm, what if he played dirty and refused to accept the result?
Shen Xiao was still hesitating when suddenly he received a phone call through his earpiece, "Shen Xiao, relax! The Holy Envoy Organization has already dispatched a high-level expert at the Martial Emperor level and is lurking around the vicinity of the clubhouse, go ahead and gamble with him!"
A high-level expert at the Martial Emperor level has arrived?
Has the power behind my grandfather also appeared?
Damn!
Then what's there to fear!
Shen Xiao suddenly felt his spine straighten, even if Ye Fan was powerful, he was at most of Martial Venerable Realm strength, right?
Hmph!
Since the Holy Envoy Organization has sent a strong person at the Martial Emperor level, no matter the result of the gamble between Ye Fan and him today, Ye Fan won't possibly leave here alive.
"Fine! I'll gamble with you!"
Shen Xiao let out a devilish smile, "But if I win, don't blame me for bullying a fool! Miss Qing, you can be a witness by the side!"
Qing Ruolan was somewhat at a loss, "Xiao Fan, are you really okay?"
Ye Fan smiled faintly, "Wife Ruolan, how can a man admit defeat?" As he spoke, Ye Fan reached out and pinched Qing Ruolan's buttock, eliciting a coquettish complaint from her, and she looked at Ye Fan with some puzzlement, "Husband Xiao Fan, you..."

Ye Fan nodded, "It won't take very long, but dealing with Shen Xiao shouldn't be a big problem!"
Ye Fan has awakened?
Finally, Qing Ruolan was certain!
Since Ye Fan had awakened, then everything was no problem.
After all, earlier that day, Qing Ruolan had personally witnessed Ye Fan's action, from five floors high, saving Qing Ruolan, Xuan Yufei, and Su Yixue all at once, moving them instantly out of the explosion range.
In front of Ye Fan, strong practitioners of the Martial Venerable Realm were like nothing, and Ye Fan's strength upon awakening was at least above the Martial Emperor level.
Then today's situation was certainly secure!
But this bad guy, why did he pinch that place in front of so many people?
Ye Fan had awakened, but previously, she was Ye Fan's sister-in-law, and now to be with Ye Fan, if Ye Fan was in an awakened state, wouldn't that kill her with embarrassment?
Thinking about her plan for tonight, Qing Ruolan's face blushed involuntarily. Enjoy exclusive content from empire
...
Shen Xiao confidently took Ye Fan, Qing Ruolan, and the Four Great Maids into a private room of the clubhouse.
Inside the private room, the bodyguards and several masterful practitioners of the Thousands Technique arranged by Shen Xiao were already seated across the table.
"Today's game is very simple, we're playing 'Exploding Golden Flower', a game everyone is familiar with. Whoever holds the bigger hand, wins!" Shen Xiao introduced the rules smugly, and a man with a scarred face started to prepare to deal the cards.
Shuffling, cutting the cards!
Everything seemed natural with so many eyes watching, the movements of the master of the Thousands Technique seemed completely normal.
However, Ye Fan merely glanced at it and spotted the trick!
Although the actions of the master of the Thousands Technique were quick, Ye Fan was a Martial Emperor strong enough to possess the Devil's Pupil, and he crisply caught the sleight of hand the moment the dealer acted.
During the instant Ye Fan cut the cards, the master's fingers flickered repeatedly, directing all the aces to the positions 246!
Meanwhile, the positions of 135 were substituted with three Kings!
As a result, if the cards were dealt normally, Ye Fan would end up with three Kings, while Shen Xiao's side would get three Aces!
Three Kings is actually a very strong hand in a card game; if anyone gets such a hand, they would surely follow through with their bets.
This is also why so many people end up bankrupt from gambling.
Those experts in card manipulation can control any card you or they desire.
You think your hand is strong, but that's just because they let you get those cards. Their hand is only a tad stronger than yours, just enough to beat you. Once you bet all your assets, you end up with nothing, both financially and personally.
That's why there is a saying, "Nine out of ten gambles are deceitful; not gambling is the real win!"
Even if you are a hundred percent sure, you should never gamble!
Your one hundred percent is just what others allow you to believe as a hundred percent!
Of course, as a Martial Emperor and one blessed with the Teleportation Trait, any technique is utterly ineffective against Ye Fan.
The moment Scarface dealt the cards, Ye Fan made his move!
A faint Qi Force Fluctuation in his hand, in the blink of an eye, used the Qi Force to swiftly switch the positions of the cards. The cards in positions 2, 4, and 6 were swapped with those in 1, 3, and 5.
Thus, the final result was that the three Aces initially dealt to Shen Xiao all ended up in Ye Fan's hands.
And what Shen Xiao held were the Three Kings!
After the deal, Shen Xiao and Scarface glanced at each other. Scarface subtly nodded to Shen Xiao, and upon receiving the affirmation, a smug smile appeared on Shen Xiao's lips.
"Ye Fan, there's no problem with the cards I dealt you, right?"
Ye Fan glanced at his cards excitedly and said, "Such high cards! No problem, no problem... You didn't deal them wrong, did you? With such a strong hand, I want to raise the bet!"
Ye Fan, this idiot, is actually raising the bet?
Shen Xiao was stunned!
He had hired a foreign expert in the Thousand Technique who had already fixed the outcome of today's gambling round, and Ye Fan still wanted to raise the bet?
"What do you want to bet?" Shen Xiao's heart grew excited, thinking that if he could lead Ye Fan to lose the Ye Family's assets, his grandfather would definitely commend him.
"I... I'll bet all of the Ye Family's assets and even my grandfather's life, is that okay?" Ye Fan asked seriously, "I can put it in writing!"
What?
Qing Shaocheng had just lost his father to Shen Xiao, and now Ye Fan wanted to bet his grandfather too?
Faced with such an opportunity hand-delivered to him, Shen Xiao's mouth was almost twisted in joy.
"Haha! Of course, that's fine, that's fine... Someone, bring paper for Young Master Ye to write the deed!" Shen Xiao ordered his subordinate, barely able to contain his eagerness.
Before he died, Ye Fan actually intended to drag his grandfather down with him, a thought process truly befitting an idiot.
Although a mere written deed is not enough to kill Ye Changfeng, a bet made by the Ye Family heir involving the family's assets does have legal validity.
Just as Ye Fan was about to write, he suddenly paused, "If I bet the Ye Family, Young Master Shen must also wager something of equal value, right?"
"Exactly, Young Master Shen should also bet the Shen Family's assets, your grandfather's life, as well as the Tang Family's assets to balance out the bet with the Ye Family," spoke up Maid Nan Sheng beside Ye Fan.
Ye Fan's side had already thoroughly investigated Shen Xiao's background.
His grandfather, Tang Zheng, was one of the Nine Great Elders of Great Xia. Having ordered Sun Desheng to seize the jade distribution rights from Qing Ruolan, which failed earlier today, he had his grandson personally handle the situation tonight. Naturally, Tang Zheng could not remain uninvolved!
Huh?
How did Ye Fan's side manage to get such clear information about him?
Shen Xiao blanked out for a few seconds but quickly realized that the relationship between the Shen Family and the Tang Zheng Family was not a secret.
After all, the Ye Family is one of the top tycoons of Great Xia; it's not surprising that they know these details.
Although Ye Fan is a fool, the maids by his side definitely have their own channels to obtain information.
Shen Xiao sensed that the maid's demand was somewhat fishy, but in this grand gamble, betting Ye Fan's life and the entire Ye Family's fortune as well as Ye Changfeng's life was on the line.
If Shen Xiao won, even if Ye Fan didn't die right away, based on the terms of this bet, it would bring great shame to the Ye Family... causing those close to the Ye family to lose hope and patience...
"Fine! Let's bet! Bring the pen!"
