History's Strongest Son-In-Law Living With The In-Laws

Chapter 38: Shen Lang Slaps, Tian Heng Goes Crazy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

He was caught off guard.

He... he must have misheard it?

Were his ears playing a trick on him?

Then, Tian Heng looked at Master Xu.

Master Xu was also in shock.

“What did you say?” asked Tian Heng, “So, did Shen Lang lose or win money?”

Tian Nineteen said, “Shen Lang won. He won 16,000 gold coins!”

That was clear.

Instantly!

Tian Heng felt as though he was struck by lightning. He couldn’t react to that.

16,000 gold coins?

That was an astronomical number!

That was the earnings his casino made in a year.

Moreover, the total profits of the other four casinos could not even match up to that single casino’s earnings.

Now, Shen Lang won everything?

Instead of sabotaging Shen Lang, he was the one who was going to get skinned.

How... How was that possible?

Tian Nineteen’s gambling skills were insanely good, and nobody could defeat him in the entire Xuanwu City.

Moreover, in the casino, Tian Nineteen owned everything. He could win with both his eyes closed.

Even if a gambling god came to visit, the gambling god would still lose miserably.

No matter how well Tian Heng’s imagination was, he would not know that Shen Lang had an x-ray vision and could see through all the cards.

“How did you do that? You lost to a useless brat?” Tian Nineteen grabbed Tian Nineteen’s neck and shouted. 1

He lifted him off the ground by holding his neck.

Tian Nineteen could not breathe. He said as tears flowed out of his eyes, “I don’t know! I thought it was crazy too. Shen Lang won every single round.”

Tian Heng said, “He cheated?”

“No, that is why it is crazy,” Tian Nineteen cried.

Tian Heng immediately looked at Master Xu and spoke with a trembling voice, “Brother Xu, didn’t you say that Shen Lang was a useless brat? Why is he so good at gambling?”

Tian Heng’s face was spasming.

“Why isn’t this bastard dead yet?” roared Master Xu.

At this moment, Xu Qianqian walked out. “Father, Leader Tian, there’s no use raging here. Why not head over to the casino to take a look? Then, we can work out a plan there.”

That was right.

Tian Heng got up and left immediately to his casino. He did not want to delay any further.

What did Shen Lang do to his casino?

Then, Xu Qianqian’s voice could be heard from behind.

“Leader Tian, don’t forget that the City Lord and the Governor are backing you up!”

After hearing this, Tian Heng felt slightly more assured.

That was right! With these two supporters, he could still make a comeback.

He immediately got onto his horse and rushed to the casino.

After 15 minutes, his horse had reached the grand looking casino.

At that moment, the entire casino was packed with people.

When they saw Tian Heng, the gamblers and onlookers swarmed towards him and said, “Leader Tian is back! He can make the decisions, pay up, pay up!”

The handsome Shen Lang walked out and smiled at Tian Heng, “How are you, Leader Tian? You came at the right time. I won 19,000 gold coins from your casino. Please exchange the coins now.”

“Oh yes, these few hundred people also placed their bets with me and won 7,000 gold coins. Please exchange the coins for them too.”

What?

Wasn’t it 16,000 gold coins?

Why did it become 19,000 gold coins?

These few hundred gamblers also won 7,000 gold coins with Shen Lang?

So in total, the amount was 26,000?

When he heard this, Tian Heng felt dizzy and almost fainted.

26,000 gold coins!

To be honest, that was more than half of his savings.

That was right, he earned a considerable sum.

However, he did not earn all of that for himself. He had to split the money with many people.

Moreover, he had to account for a few hundred people, and that was a sizable expenditure.

His casino lost 26,000 gold coins. If he had to exchange it now, he would become... almost bankrupt.

However, if he did not exchange the coins, his casino’s reputation would be gone. In the future, nobody would come to gamble again.

Tian Heng finally regained his senses after a while and could finally see Shen Lang’s handsome face clearly.

Why was this bastard so cruel?

The day before Shen Lang threatened Tian Heng, Tian Heng did not really care.

He was thinking, what could Shen Lang do to him? Tian Heng thought about many methods, but all of those seemed too deep and incredible.

However, he did not expect Shen Lang to attack him using such a direct method.

Did he cheat to play the blame game?

In the past, Shen Lang would have had his legs broken and chased out before he even won 100 gold coins.

However, now, he was the young master of the Palace of the Earl; nobody in Xuanwu City would dare to touch him.

At this moment, not only were the four warriors guarding Shen Lang behind him, but the few hundred gamblers were also protecting him.

What a despicable man Shen Lang was.

Winning by himself was not sufficient; he had to drag a few hundred gamblers with him. 1

Now, Shen Lang became their hero. The few hundred gamblers would stand by Shen Lang’s side to get their money.

“Pay up,” said Shen Lang, “Gang Leader Tian Heng, don’t tell me that you are trying to find a way not to pay up?”

Tian Heng’s face spasmed. He had the impulse to slap Shen Lang’s face.

However, he did not dare to do so.

He could not do so!

Afterward, Tian Heng’s expression changed drastically, smiled vibrantly, and said, “Young Master Shen, shall we head in and talk?”

Shen Lang thought for a while before nodding and said, “Sure.”

Then, Tian Heng and Shen Lang walked into the casino.

The few hundred gamblers were furious. What if Shen Lang and Tian Heng reach a secretive deal? They would be cheated then!

“No, you can’t leave! You can’t leave! You can only leave after paying up,” the gamblers shouted and demanded.

Usually, they would scurry off like rats when they see Tian Heng. However, with the power of their numbers and Shen Lang, the young master of the Palace of the Earl, on their side, they were no longer afraid.

Moreover, gamblers would sacrifice their lives to get money.

When gamblers won money, they were not afraid of anything.

Shen Lang said, “Rest assured, I will not betray anyone. I will make sure all of you are satisfied at the end of the day.”

“Yes, trust, Young Master Shen.”

“Young Master Shen is the Young Master of the Palace of the Earl! He will definitely not trick us!”

“Young master Shen, I love you!”

What the f*ck was that?

Shen Lang and Tian Heng walked inside of the casino.

The four warriors followed them into the casino, and the door shut.

...

After entering the casino, Tian Heng’s smile disappeared immediately, and he looked extremely cold.

“Young Master Shen, you are indeed very vicious,” sneered Tian Heng, “to force me to sever my own arms and break Tian Thirteen’s legs, you are willing to come and gamble. Are you not afraid of your reputation as the son-in-law of the Earl?”

“Of course, I care about the reputation for the Palace of the Earl,” said Shen Lang seriously, “but I can lose my own reputation!”

“What is the reputation for someone like me? A burden! If my reputation is good, I will lose everything if I made a mistake. If I do something good, people will praise me and say it’s an amazing thing because I turned over a new leaf.”

These sentences stunned Tian Heng.

Numb, he could not refute Shen Lang.

Tian Heng said, “Don’t you just want to force me to break Tian Thirteen’s legs?”

Shen Lang nodded and said, “Yes.”

Tian Heng said, “You are using these 19,000 gold coins to force me to sever my arms? How laughable. Do you think I am a person like this? If I broke Thirteen’s legs, not only will he lose his legs, I will lose my reputation.”

Tian Heng had been ruling the gang for years. He was not stupid and knew how scary things could turn out to be.

“Once I did that, everyone will know that I, Tian Heng, lost to you, a live-in son-in-law. My reputation will be gone,” said Tian Heng coldly, “for someone like me, once I lose my reputation, nobody will be afraid of me anymore! I can earn back the money I lost, but once my reputation is gone, I am doomed.” 2

Tian Heng had calmed down completely. After drinking a sip of water, he said, “So Shen Lang, you want to use 19,000 gold coins to exchange for my breaking of Tian Thirteen’s legs? Then you must be daydreaming. I am not stupid.”

Seeing Tian Heng finishing his water, Shen Lang refilled the cup for him with a sincere expression. He said with a concerning voice, “Gang Leader Tian, you wronged me. Since when did I plan to do that?”

Tian Heng sneered. He crossed his arms and looked at Shen Lang with a cold expression.

“I shall see what other tricks you have! I will watch you play your tricks.” Tian Heng seemed to have read Shen Lang’s mind.

The bastard would forget about everything else once money was concerned. After making so much money, he was only concerned about exchanging the coins and completely forgot about the matter of breaking Tian Thirteen’s legs.

Tian Heng decided that Shen Lang couldn’t take the 19,000 gold coins. 1900 was the limit. Moreover, Shen Lang had to beg him to get the coins.

“I did not think of using the 19,000 gold coins to exchange for Tian Thirteen’s legs!” said Shen Lang, “What I mean was, not only do you have to pay me 19,000 gold coins, but you also have to break Tian Thirteen’s legs!” 1

“What the f*ck! I will kill you!”
