Upon hearing this, the Shadow Turtle Emperor instantly flew into a rage.
"What are you saying? You gambled away Bead City? Is Bead City yours to gamble away?"
As he spoke, he was about to rush forward and kill Zhang Pengtian.
"Enough, enough, let him finish!"
Xue An stopped the Shadow Turtle Emperor and then asked, "Tell us, what is really going on!"
Zhang Pengtian sighed softly, "It’s all my fault for not being able to resist the temptation!"
"Back then, a jeweler came to Ultimate Pearl City, and because he was so generous, I personally met with him. At the banquet, he vividly described to me the luxury of Linglong City!"
"He also mysteriously told me that the reason he could amass such wealth was due to the capital he accumulated in Linglong City. All this was because he had a gambling technique that guaranteed winning!"
"These words made my heart race, but at the time I didn’t show it. The next day, when this man bid farewell and left, he claimed that the profit from selling his Treasure Beads in Linglong City would at least triple. Hearing this, I finally couldn’t hold back, but to be safe, I only sent a clone to follow him."
"When we arrived in Linglong City, everything was just as he had described, extremely luxurious! I saw with my own eyes how he easily sold the acquired beads at more than three times the price, and then he took me to tour the major casinos!"
"What a scene it was!"
Zhang Pengtian’s eyes revealed a look of yearning, "Rows of either richly decorative or bizarrely magnificent casinos stood side by side. Inside, every luxury you can imagine was present."
"Even the most ordinary waitresses were stunning girls! In such an environment, I couldn’t help but join him in gambling!"
"At first, everything went so smoothly. Within just three days, I won wealth equal to nearly half of Bead City! Everyone came to congratulate me, even the casino owner’s wife personally came to have a drink with me!"
"That feeling of being admired by thousands is unforgettable once experienced!"
"Just when I was reveling in it, my friend who brought me there told me to seize this opportunity to quit while I was ahead and leave Linglong City. He said that if I kept gambling, I would surely lose control!"
"To be honest, I was a bit dismissive at first, but his concern for me was touching, and I thought I had found a true friend. Plus, my clone had been away for too long and was beginning to falter, so I took my winnings back to Bead City!"
Upon hearing this, the Shadow Turtle Emperor couldn’t help but say, "Isn’t that great? If you stopped there, you’d have immensely increased your wealth!"
Zhang Pengtian sighed lightly, "That’s easy to say, but you can’t understand that feeling. Looking back now, I realize it was all a trap from the start."
"Because once a person wins, they want to keep winning, especially in Linglong City’s atmosphere. Once you experience it, everything else seems dull!"
"So you went back again?" Xue An asked calmly.
