“Your boss?” Ning Sheng was puzzled.

She had no idea who that was.

Hearing this, Ye Nan Si’s voice turned cold, “Miss Ning Sheng didn’t know him, so get out of our way!”

Araruo was an independent island, outside the control of any major country, and possessed complete independence and authority. It could be considered an impregnable fortress and had good relations with various countries. By leaving Ye Nan Si to Lu Chu Yao, the head of the island hoped to help pave the way for Ye Nan Si’s future.

Lu He didn’t say anything, but it seemed like he was ready to take action.

“Hey, we only want to kindly ask Miss Ning to stay out of goodwill because she has very good gambling luck. Our master would like to play a game with Miss Ning, purely for entertainment,” the man in the tuxedo said politely.

Although he was threatening them, he maintained a gentle and considerate demeanor.

Ye Nan Si scoffed inwardly.

Ning Sheng also responded politely, “I’m sorry, but 1 don’t play with people I don’t know. Could you please step aside?” Although she was polite, her eyes revealed a cold indifference. She showed no fear whatsoever.

“Our master said that if politeness doesn’t work, we’ll have to resort to violence,” the man warned.

Upon hearing this, Lu He immediately stood in front of Ning Sheng.

Ye Nan Si also tightened his grip on the object in his hand, preparing for a fight-

“Mr. Lu He, we’ll just be playing a game. There’s no need for such a big commotion, right?” the man in the tuxedo asked.

Lu He’s brows furrowed with a murderous aura, “If it’s something Miss Ning Sheng doesn’t want to do, no one can make her do it.” This was something that he, as Ning Sheng’s bodyguard, should know best. Making Ning Sheng feel at ease was the top priority.

“Yes, if it’s something Miss Ning Sheng doesn’t want to do, no one can force her!” Ye Nan Si also spoke up.

The man in the tuxedo chuckled, “1 know what kind of person Mr. Lu He is, and 1 also could tell that this gentleman next to you is not an ordinary character. However, no one has been able to escape the underground casino unscathed. Moreover, we just hope that Miss Ning can play a game with our boss.”

“Is that true?” Ning Sheng asked.

She couldn’t risk Young Master Ye and Lu He getting hurt.

Moreover, this place wasn’t ordinary, it was crowded, noisy and dark.

Upon hearing Ning Sheng’s hesitation, the man in the tuxedo immediately nodded.

“How are we playing?”

After a while, the group arrived at a private room. There was a person sitting in the main seat, with a curtain blocking their appearance, making it impossible to tell whether they were male or female, beautiful or ugly. The middle-aged man in the tuxedo welcomed everyone to take a seat.

“Miss Ning, are you ready?” The man in the tuxedo asked.

Ning Sheng retorted, “If I say I’m not ready, are you planning to let us leave?”

The man in the tuxedo replied, “…Miss Ning, you really have a sense of humor.” Ye Nan Si was displeased. “Do you know who Miss Ning Sheng is? Forcing her to play with you, you won’t even know how you’ll die!” This place was truly eerie. There was no cell phone signal, and he couldn’t even send a message.

He wanted to find someone to save them, but he couldn’t. It was truly infuriating!

“Are you ready?” The person behind the curtain suddenly spoke, their voice gentle. There was no pressure or hostility in their tone. It was like the clear and melodious sound of flowing water in a deep mountain, pleasing to the ears and refreshing.

Ning Sheng didn’t even look at the curtain, “How do we play?”

The pleasant voice continued, “It’s very simple. Miss Ning, we’ll be playing cards. If you win, you can take your little brothers and leave. If you lose, you’ll have to make a choice.”

“A choice?” Ning Sheng was puzzled.

The man chuckled, “We’ll talk about that once you lose..”
