Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Super VIP
’He hit me for that pauper, without a second thought!’
"Who gave you permission to be disrespectful to Mr. Chen? What gives you the right to think you can make Mr. Chen get off the elevator?"
Chen Yuan’s face was full of arrogance as he glared at Madam Gui with disgust.
"You... Do you have any idea who I am? How dare you hit me?"
Stunned, Madam Gui immediately roared at Chen Yuan.
"I don’t care who you are. All I know is that you were disrespectful to Mr. Chen, and for that, you deserved to be hit!"
Chen Yuan’s words were incredibly domineering, giving Madam Gui no chance to retort.
"How dare you treat me like this! I won’t let you get away with this!"
After being put in her place, Madam Gui spat out one last arrogant threat and stormed out of the elevator.
But Chen Qingdi and Chen Yuan paid her no mind and walked into the casino.
This underground casino was one of the Golden Splendor Club’s illegal enterprises.
The people who came here were either rich or powerful—high-ranking officials, dignitaries, or major entrepreneurs.
Here, as long as you had money and power, you could ignore all the rules.
If you had no money and lost, you paid with your life or your body. You’d disappear without a trace.
But if you had money, you could cheat or even make someone suddenly disappear.
The laws and regulations of the outside world simply didn’t exist here.
All that mattered was money, power, and influence!
Just as Chen Qingdi walked in, a young man in a suit stopped him.
"Sir, you’re here to play, I presume. Please verify your assets to receive an identity card."
"In this underground casino, everyone who enters must verify their assets and get an identity card. The card you receive is linked to the value of your assets."
"Assets of one million get you a yellow card, ten million a green card, one hundred million a black card, and over a hundred billion a red card!"
the young man in the suit explained to Chen Qingdi.
However, Chen Qingdi found himself in a bit of a predicament. He had far too many cards on him.
When he had left, those guys from Medical God Island had given him an absurd number of bank cards!
The Tulip Gold Card, Bauhinia Black Card, Swiss King Card, Saudi King Card, Samsung Black Card, Global Emperor Card, and so on.
These cards alone were accepted by half of the world’s banks and influential families!
"Just verify all of them."
With a grand wave of his hand, Chen Qingdi tossed dozens of cards to the young man in the suit.
Upon seeing this, the other gamblers in the room erupted in laughter.
"Hahaha, where did this naive punk come from? So many cards. Does he think he’s as rich as a king?"
"Exactly. I bet there’s barely any money in those cards. Maybe if you add them all up, he’ll have just enough for a temporary card."
"Just watch, this kid is about to make a huge fool of himself. If he doesn’t, I’ll eat shit!"
No one present believed that Chen Qingdi’s cards held any significant assets.
They had seen too many people pretending to be rich, and in their eyes, Chen Qingdi’s attempt at showing off was simply pathetic.
However, after verifying the cards, the young man in the suit came scrambling back, terrified, with a large group of bodyguards behind him!
The bodyguards stood in a line, surrounding Chen Qingdi and Chen Yuan.
The gamblers in the room didn’t understand what was happening.
They just assumed Chen Qingdi had been caught for pretending to be rich and were settling in to watch the show.
"Hahaha, I told you! Those cards are definitely fakes."
"That’s right. Looks like he’s been found out. Tsk, tsk. Daring to use fake cards on the Nie Family’s territory... I don’t think this kid is walking out of here today!"
The gazes of the gamblers on Chen Qingdi were filled with mockery, ridicule, and even a hint of pity.
Because in this underground casino, the Nie Family was the supreme ruler.
And if you offended the Nie Family, you would absolutely face the consequences.
Just as all the gamblers were expecting to see the bodyguards beat Chen Qingdi to a pulp and throw him out...
"Congratulations, Mr. Chen, on your promotion to a top-tier Emperor Card VIP! From now on, you can enjoy all the special privileges in the underground casino!"
"Additionally, as an Emperor Card VIP, you will be gifted a line of credit of one hundred million every time you visit!"
"Mr. Chen, please take your cards back. I will now escort you to the VIP room!"
The young man spoke to Chen Qingdi with the utmost respect, presenting all the bank cards with both hands.
Hearing this, all the gamblers in the room burst into an uproar.
"Impossible! How could all of those cards be real? They looked fake!"
"Yeah, how could those cards be real? I don’t believe it! Is the casino working with him to mess with us?"
The crowd immediately began to rail against the young man in the suit, their faces masks of utter disbelief.
Shock, stupefaction, disbelief—everyone’s expression was a complex mixture of emotions.
"Hmph, why would our casino need to put on a fake show for you?"
"Every single one of Mr. Chen’s cards is real. What’s more, his total assets are an astronomical figure—too high to even count."
"A guest of this caliber has every right to be upgraded to a VIP. In fact, this Emperor Card was custom-made for Mr. Chen after a joint consultation among our casino’s major shareholders."
"He is the only person in this entire casino who possesses one. No one else can hold an Emperor Card here. What do you people know? A bunch of fools who can’t recognize a true dragon when you see one!"
The young man in the suit wasn’t the least bit afraid of offending these wealthy patrons. In his eyes...
...all that mattered was serving Chen Qingdi well. As long as Chen Qingdi alone was satisfied, that was enough.
Even if Chen Qingdi told him to get on the ground and act like a dog for him to ride, he would respectfully crawl on the floor and do it.
"Mr. Chen, this way, please!"
The young man in the suit bowed to Chen Qingdi and gestured, leading him towards a room.
"Let’s go."
Chen Qingdi replied, then followed the young man, escorted by the bodyguards.
Halfway there, Chen Qingdi suddenly turned his head and said something.
"The guy who said he’d eat shit earlier—don’t forget. If you don’t eat it, I’ll have the bodyguards break your legs and throw you out."
After speaking, Chen Qingdi walked into the room without a backward glance.
The wealthy man who had mocked Chen Qingdi was so terrified that he collapsed onto the floor, his face filled with horror.
When Chen Qingdi entered the VIP room, he saw an arrogant-looking young man in a suit waiting for him.
Standing next to this young man was Madam Gui. The moment she saw Chen Qingdi, her eyes went wide.
"How is it you?!"
Madam Gui pointed at Chen Qingdi in astonishment.
"They said some mysterious tycoon had just shown up out of nowhere... Don’t tell me that person is you?"
Madam Gui demanded, shocked.
"And why couldn’t it be me? Do you really think everyone is as flashy as you?"
Chen Qingdi sneered and immediately found a seat.
"Hm?"
"Madam, do you know this gentleman?"
