Reborn in Hong Kong Island, I can see loyalty

Chapter 590 An Encounter with Gao Jin in Las Vegas

Ye Haoxuan looked up and saw a man in a white suit being attacked by two burly men in black at a gambling table not far away.

The man was still holding a playing card in his hand, clearly having been ambushed as soon as he sat down at the gambling table.

Ye Haoxuan's gaze sharpened. With his God-like foresight, combined with the man's signature white suit, the way he held the playing cards, and his calm and composed demeanor even in danger, he instantly determined that this man was none other than the gambling legend, known as the "God of Gamblers," Gao Jin!

Despite his slender build, he was exceptionally composed. Facing the combined attack of two burly men, he not only remained calm but also skillfully evaded several attacks.

But his opponent was wielding a short stick and attacked ruthlessly and quickly. Gao Jin was soon cornered against the wall, and a cut was made on his arm, from which blood seeped out.

"You're asking for death!" Tachibana Masahito's eyes turned cold, and he was about to step forward when Ye Haoxuan raised his hand to stop him:

"Wait, it's the God of Gamblers, Ko Chun. Let's see how he handles it first, and then we'll make our move if necessary."

Having recognized Gao Jin, he wanted to observe him first. He also knew that with Gao Jin's abilities, he might not have been at a disadvantage if he hadn't been ambushed and outnumbered.

Gao Jin dodged a sweeping short stick and threw a deck of cards in his hand. The cards flew like knives and accurately struck one of the burly men in the eye.

The burly man screamed in pain, covered his eyes, and collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, another burly man swung even more fiercely at Gao Jin. Gao Jin was about to dodge when he found that there was a wall behind him, leaving him nowhere to retreat.

At this critical moment, Tachibana Masahito made his move.

He rushed over like a shadow, grabbed the burly man's wrist, and twisted it gently. With a "crack," the burly man's wrist was broken, and the short stick fell to the ground.

Tachibana Masahito then kicked the burly man in the stomach, sending him flying like a broken sack, crashing heavily into the wall and losing consciousness.

The whole process took only a dozen seconds, and the surrounding crowd was stunned, the noisy casino instantly quieted down.

Gao Jin breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and shifted his gaze from Tachibana Masahito to Ye Haoxuan not far away. His pupils suddenly contracted, and he quickly stepped forward, his tone filled with undisguised excitement and gratitude:

"Are you Mr. Yip Ho-hin of Hung Hing in Hong Kong Island? Thank you so much for saving me, Mr. Yip. I am deeply grateful!"

His voice was steady but could not hide his respect. Although he had just survived an assassination attempt, he still had an extraordinary demeanor. As a prominent figure in Hong Kong, he had long heard about Ye Haoxuan's achievements in integrating underground forces and suppressing various powerful figures. Of course, the most important thing was that he was loyal and righteous, treating his subordinates like his own brothers. He had long admired him.

Ye Haoxuan smiled and said calmly, "Mr. Gao, there's no need for such formality. It was just a small favor. I didn't expect to run into you here. It seems these two burly men are here because of your reputation as the God of Gamblers?"

Gao Jin nodded and readily admitted, "That's right. My name is Gao Jin, and I make a living by gambling. I won a large sum of money from a local bigwig at the gambling table before, and he held a grudge and sent someone to assassinate me."

As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, then he turned to Ye Haoxuan and said sincerely:

"I have long admired Mr. Ye's name. Your deeds in consolidating the underground forces and quelling the chaos in Hong Kong Island are well-known even in the gambling world. I have always admired a person like you who is courageous, resourceful, and capable of making decisions. It is an honor to meet you today and to be saved by you."

Ye Haoxuan nodded slightly upon hearing this, his tone calm: "Mr. Gao, you flatter me. I have long heard of your reputation. You have established yourself in the gambling world through your strength and never resort to underhanded tricks. Such integrity is equally rare."

Both men are prominent figures in Hong Kong and have long heard of each other. Their chance encounter and mutual assistance today have only strengthened their bond.

Gao Jin's eyes grew even more solemn: "Mr. Ye, you saved my life today, and I will remember this kindness. In the future, no matter when or where, as long as Mr. Ye needs my help, I will do anything, even if it means going through fire and water! Especially matters related to gambling, no matter how difficult the opponent or how complicated the situation, I can help you resolve it."

He always distinguished between gratitude and resentment, and always repaid kindness received from others.

Upon hearing this, Ye Haoxuan's heart stirred.

He knew Ko Chun's abilities, and if he could get his help, regulating the gambling industry in Hong Kong and dealing with the crisis in the gambling world would be much smoother.

But he didn't speak immediately, he just smiled and said, "Mr. Gao, you flatter me. I came to Las Vegas today to take care of some important business. As for repaying you, we can talk about it later."

Gao Jin didn't press the matter, and took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Ye Haoxuan:

"This is my business card with my contact information. Mr. Ye, please feel free to call me anytime you need help."

Ye Haoxuan took the business card and put it in his pocket: "Okay. I have other things to do, so I won't bother Mr. Gao any longer."

"Mr. Ye, please go ahead." Gao Jin stepped aside to make way, watching Ye Haoxuan and Tachibana Masahito disappear into the crowd, his eyes filled with gratitude.

He knew that if Ye Haoxuan hadn't come to his rescue today, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape.

He had to repay this favor.

Ye Haoxuan and Tachibana Masahito walked to the entrance of the underground bank. Tachibana Masahito spoke first:

"Brother Xuan, is that Gao Jin from earlier the God of Gamblers?"

"Yes." Ye Haoxuan nodded. "I didn't expect to run into him here, and I even helped him out. With this favor, it will be much easier for us to handle gambling matters in the future."

Tachibana Masahito nodded knowingly and didn't ask any more questions.

As the two entered the underground bank, they were noticed by a man in a floral shirt who recognized Ye Haoxuan and was quite surprised.

However, she quickly put on a smiling face:

"Mr. Ye, how can I help you?"

"I need to talk to your boss about some funding." Ye Haoxuan's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable authority. "I want to take the money from Hong Kong Island and Luen Shing Lam Wai Lok."

The man in the floral shirt's expression changed instantly, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

He didn't expect Ye Haoxuan to come here directly and know that Lin Huaile's funds were with them.

His face turned pale, and he rubbed his hands together in front of him, forcing a calm smile as he said:

“Mr. Ye…are you sure you’ve got the right person? We’re a legitimate money exchange. We’ve never heard of Lin Huai Le, let alone seen this money you’re talking about.”

"A legitimate money exchange?" Ye Haoxuan scoffed, his tone laced with undisguised mockery. He walked slowly to the mahogany table in the center of the hall, casually leaned against the edge, and lightly tapped the surface with his fingertips. "An underground money exchange in Macau's casinos dares to call itself legitimate? Do you think I, Ye Haoxuan, am so easily fooled?"
