Chapter 563 The Casino

At this time, Gelis was idle and a little itchy, so he headed towards the largest casino on the black market.

Before long, Gelis arrived at Paradise Island Casino.

He skillfully exchanged some chips and sat down at a dice table, ready to gamble with enthusiasm.

"I bet big!"

......

"One, two, three, small!"

The dealer opened the dice cup and announced.

"Damn, bad luck, I'll bet again!"

Gelis bet on small again, but unsurprisingly, it came up big again.

After losing two bets, Gelis got up and sat down at the table next to him.

This table was playing poker, the most basic 21, which was simple and easy to learn.

Moreover, there was no house, it was a winner-takes-all game. Whoever had the highest hand won everything.

The dealer started dealing the cards, and Gelis directly bet 100,000 star coins worth of chips.

The dealer dealt him two cards, a 10 and a 6.

Gelis surveyed the table and felt that his hand was likely the highest, so he pushed some more chips forward.

Soon, the third card arrived. Gelis glanced at his hand, and his eyes lit up. The third card was a 4, giving him 20 points.

Immediately, he added another 100,000 star coins worth of chips!

There were ten people at the table in total, and five of them folded directly.

But the other four hesitated before calling again.

"Haha, you're all dead."

Gelis flipped his cards over, revealing 20 points.

The four players at the table grimaced and pushed their cards away, but an inconspicuous young man opened his hand, revealing an exact 21.

Gelis's face darkened, and he couldn't help but curse.

"Damn it!"

He immediately got up again and left for another table.

The young man slowly turned and left, weaving through the crowd. As he walked, his head lowered, and his appearance began to change, even the style of his clothes subtly shifting.

This person was none other than Su Mo. Su Mo had been watching Gelis the entire time.

No matter what he played, Su Mo joined in, and had the Creator-Devourer constantly interfering.

As for winning or losing, it didn't matter, as long as Gelis lost.

As a result, after a few hours, Gelis was going crazy. He lost at everything he played, losing so much he was practically broke.

Usually, he would win at least seven out of ten hands.

But now, he lost every bet, as if he was cursed.

Gelis's eyes were red, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't figure out what was going on. He also paid attention to the gamblers sitting with him, but no one was the same person twice.

He felt his pockets, and they were truly empty.

Just then, Gelis saw Su Mo in the crowd not far away. He was sitting quietly on a resting chair, staring at him like a plague god.

Gelis couldn't help but shudder, feeling a little creeped out.

In that instant, he realized that Su Mo was most likely behind it all!

So, he walked up to Su Mo with a wry smile.

"Sir, why are you making things difficult for me?"

Su Mo said indifferently, "How am I making things difficult for you? Is it my fault that you're losing money?"

Hearing Su Mo's words, Gelis's face twitched. He said to Su Mo, "Don't go too far."

Su Mo raised his head and looked at Gelis, saying, "That was just an appetizer. If you don't want to get hit by a car when you go out, lose every bet, and have your roof collapse while you sleep, you can keep going."

Gelis's expression became extremely interesting, and he pointed at Su Mo.

"You, you, big brother, I was wrong, I'll admit defeat, okay?"

"If you had agreed earlier, it would have been over. Come with me."

Su Mo also felt a slight relief in his heart.

"Okay, okay, but sir, shouldn't you return the money I lost? That's all I have."

Gelis said with a fawning expression.

"It's just 3.42 million star coins, don't worry about it. If you help me do this job well, I'll give you 10 billion star coins after it's done. But, speaking of which, how can a captain be so poor? Is that all you have?"

Su Mo led Gelis out of the casino and headed towards the port.

At this time, Gelis didn't feel the joy he expected when he heard Su Mo's promise. Instead, he cautiously asked Su Mo,

"So much money? What exactly do you want me to do, sir?"

"Be your guide."

"To that area of space?"

Gelis replied cautiously.

"The dark side of Ceres."

Su Mo didn't hide anything and told Gelis directly.

As a result, Gelis stopped in his tracks and his expression became very unpleasant.

Su Mo stopped and looked at Gelis, asking in confusion, "What's wrong with you again?"

"I'm not going."

Gelis went back on his word again.

Su Mo was now truly annoyed, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you toying with me again? Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

"Do whatever you want! Put me in jail, I'm not going anyway."

Gelis was like a piece of self-abandoning mud, squatting on the side of the street, looking like he was ready to be killed or punished.

Hearing Gelis's words, Su Mo's eyebrows were almost twisted into a mess. However, he didn't immediately lose his temper. Something was wrong.

He calmed down and said,

"Why aren't you going?"

"Going there is just asking for death. I advise you to give up. That's not an area you can get involved in. You have no idea how terrifying it is in there."

As Gelis said this, a trace of fear and pain appeared on his face.

Su Mo stared at Gelis and said,

"I know it's dangerous there, but as an officer of the Star Ring City, are you afraid of danger? Don't you think that's ridiculous?"

"What do you know? What right do you have to say that? Do you know how I came back alive from there? People like you who are after wealth and your own selfish desires, of course, wouldn't understand!"

Gelis roared, his eyes bloodshot, as if his tail had been stepped on.

Su Mo didn't expect this guy to react so strongly. He was silent for a few seconds, and finally said, "Forget it."

Gelis was also stunned. He didn't expect Su Mo to give up.

Su Mo raised his head and looked at Gelis, saying, "If you don't want to go, then forget it, I won't force you. But there's one thing I want to make clear to you, the reason I'm going to the back of Ceres is for search and rescue. The purpose is to save my companions, not for wealth or selfish desires."

Hearing Su Mo's words, Gelis was as if struck by lightning, and he froze in place.

However, just as Su Mo turned around to leave, Gelis suddenly called out to Su Mo.

"Stop."

Su Mo was slightly stunned and turned to look at Gelis.

"What is it?"

"I'll go with you, even if I die there, I'll go with you. I don't want the money."

Gelis looked at Su Mo with unusual determination.

Su Mo was stunned by Gelis's words. Was this guy crazy?

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

Gelis replied very positively.

Su Mo thought for a moment. Although he didn't know what caused Gelis's attitude to change so much, he could feel that the other party was serious this time.

Thinking of this, Su Mo decided to trust the other party one more time.

"Okay, come with me."

Just then, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd ahead.

"Don't run!"

A group of fierce-looking strong men were chasing after a figure.
