Chapter 939: Chapter 744: From Bicycle to Motorcycle Huai Shi lowered his head upon hearing the words, looking at himself.
A comfortable pair of loose grey shorts, a T-shirt printed with "I love Tanbo", and a pair of slippers loved by all sophisticated boys.
Where is the problem?
He was genuinely puzzled: This is what he wore to the Jinling Astronomical Association, why not to the Empire Casino?
"..."
Akasaki Makoto couldn’t help but roll his eyes: "Whatever... get in the car, time is running out. The Empire Casino has ceased operations for today just for this event."
"It’s closed, but not just for me alone."
He dusted off his clothes, stood up, and got in the car: "I can’t understand you people, it’s only a ten-minute walk and you need a car. Burning money for no reason."
Akasaki Makoto rolled his eyes, speechless.
The Empire Hotel Casino is not far away, not even beyond the Tanbo Inner Circle, standing tall in the middle of the most bustling street of Tanbo Inner Circle, towering like clouds, and when countless neon lights light up, the dazzling lights shine in all directions, like a lighthouse for gamblers.
The only source of light in the entire dreary area.
Here you can’t see the common shacks and shabby streets, clean and peaceful as if entering another world, the bright streets filled with passionate smiles.
Those shabby, ugly hybrid homeless people can’t even get within two streets. Under the control of the former five tycoons, this has always been the most shining place within the Tanbo Inner Circle, and a place for huge funds to flow in from outside.
It’s like with a trance, you’re in another world.
Everything is so dazzling, even the air is filled with a rich fragrance.
Beyond the fountain square, at the top of a towering staircase, the gilded doors slowly opened, and hybrid attendants who had been carefully selected for their good appearance respectfully ushered the two into the grand hall.
Huge crystal chandeliers hung from the specially raised ceilings, casting a uniform light over the vast and exquisite paintings around.
Amidst the sound of trickling streams, the sporadic notes of a piano echoed.
Sweet laughter filled the ears.
Huai Shi stood there, bewildered, eyes wide open.
"I told you to change clothes before coming," Akasaki Makoto, dressed in formal attire, couldn’t help but sigh: "Isn’t it embarrassing now?"
In the entire hall, only Huai Shi stood there like an alien, wearing a T-shirt and shorts, feeling countless odd gazes around.
When he turned around to look, he saw the lounge area of the hall filled with those beautiful women, either mature and elegant or sweet and fragrant, each dressed differently.
They scattered on the couches, their curvy figures revealed from the hot or conservative clothing, and seemed to carry a smile as their eyes scanned the room, radiating a captivating charm.
"Hey, don’t act like you’ve never seen the world."
Akasaki Makoto bumped Huai Shi’s shoulder, sternly reminding: "Don’t let me find out you’ve done anything unworthy of Miss Lihua, otherwise I won’t let you off!"
Huai Shi was dumbfounded.
I’d sure love to be worthy of her!
Why not ask if ’she’ can be worthy of me!
Well, now he finally understood why Akasaki Makoto found him so disagreeable, turns out he is a faithful admirer of Miss Lihua, they really should get to know each other more, compare lengths... If only he’d done this earlier, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble!
Huai Shi rolled his eyes, retracting his gaze, merely sighing: "There sure are a lot of wealthy, pretty girls, who says hybrids are all poor?"
"Heh, you really think they’re guests here?" Akasaki Makoto snorted.
Huai Shi’s steps paused, turning back to see some people leaning on others, arms wrapped around each other, heading towards the elevator.
Even knowing the business is legal in Yingzhou, Huai Shi didn’t immediately realize.
They’re not customers... they’re products.
"Ochiai Family’s business?" Huai Shi asked.
Akasaki Makoto glanced back, "The Ochiai Family’s business hasn’t fallen to such a level, they’re all upstairs, these here are freelancers."
The elevator doors closed.
Fast ascent.
After the attending officer swiped a card, they went all the way up, soon arriving before the casino doors, and after verifying their identities, the doors not opened to the public surprisingly opened.
Inside the vast venue, a lively scene, just with a fierce air in everyone passing by, not seeming friendly.
All are of the Extreme Path.
This is the only asset the Chiba Family put forth this time - 9% of Empire Hotel Casino’s shares. Even just this beats the numerous properties the Arakawa Family released.
The Empire Hotel itself doesn’t belong to the Alliance, and the Chiba Family only secured this piece of prime property to gain entry, with substantial investment barely acquiring 9% stake in the casino.
Besides the annual shares, they have no other rights.
Just by looking at it a bit, you can tell how massive the capital behind this really is.
In the shareholder committee, aside from the vests from several capital groups of Huangquan Slope, the world-renowned Ancient Company takes the lead, responsible for operations and management.
As a tycoon in the tourism industry, besides its various travel routes, the Ancient Company also manages numerous luxury hotels and special travel facilities. It’s not surprising that any business related to tourism involves them in some capacity.
Even the Group Star was managed by them back then, and compared to such grand gestures, this is merely an inconspicuous subordinate branch.
In America, Rome, Egypt, and the Russian Federation, there are more than a dozen similar hotel and casino joint operations of the Ancient Company...
