Chen Che raised his eyebrows, a self-satisfied smile curling at the corner of his mouth, as he strolled step by step through the grand casino under Ulatta’s murderous gaze.
He arrived at the room where the casino stored its chips, next to where the cash was kept, a place of the strictest security.
Typically, there were nearly ten security guards watching over the two entrances.
With the addition of various surveillance cameras, even if 007 came, he could only stare helplessly.
The strict security here is understandable; no one would think twice about it.
Chen Che stood before the code-locked door, glanced at the grim-faced Ulatta, smirked slightly, and casually tapped on the code panel for a moment until it beeped and the door opened.
Ulatta’s heart sank, and he roared through clenched teeth, "Impossible! How do you know the code?"
"Mr. Ulatta, there’s no such thing as a wall that doesn’t leak in this world. If you want to keep things hidden, don’t do them in the first place."
Chen Che spoke two cryptic sentences, intended to mislead and confuse.
Pushing the door open, he entered to find special chips neatly stacked, chips that were extremely difficult to counterfeit.
However, Chen Che’s attention was not on these chips. His gaze swept around the chip room until he found a special golden chip.
He placed this special golden chip on the floor, seemingly ordinary yet suddenly opening a hidden trapdoor.
The trapdoor led underground, though it was unclear where it went.
Ulatta’s face turned pale instantly.
An Nishang saw this and gave Angduo a look. Angduo immediately grabbed a camera and led people down below.
A moment later, a group of people emerged from below with some equipment, reporting loudly to An Nishang, "Commissioner, there’s a contraband production workshop down there! Lots of production materials for contraband, as well as finished contraband!
Based on our tests, it’s the same Pandora’s Kiss circulating on the market!"
"And several researchers are under our control.
We found two different kinds of Pandora’s Kiss, one a white powder, dissolving in water, colorless and tasteless, unlike the usual Pandora’s Kiss on the market. According to the researchers’ on-site confessions, these were specially developed.
Unlike the ones that take immediate effect when ingested, this colorless and tasteless Pandora’s Kiss, when consumed, shows no anomalies but gradually erodes the brain’s nerves in sleep, creating an unbreakable addiction."
The entire casino was in an uproar.
Ulatta’s fists clenched, his gaze locked onto Chen Che with fury. He had no idea how Chen Che knew these things.
What he could confirm now was that Chen Che had been aiming to overthrow this entire grand casino from the start.
Going around in such a big circle was just to draw the attention of all the nobility present.
To maximize the event’s impact.
He guessed correctly, but there was more: Chen Che envisioned further engaging with casino personnel, listening to their thoughts.
He was able to acquire this intelligence all because he listened to what was in Ulatta’s heart.
And to be honest, this candy was extraordinarily useful.
Chen Che smiled and said, "Manager Ulatta, shouldn’t you give an explanation to the casino guests? Why is there a Pandora production workshop beneath the grand casino? And why are there two different kinds of Pandora? Clearly, the colorless and tasteless Pandora isn’t what the common people want; they prefer the ones that bring instant hallucinations and pleasure.
So who is this colorless and tasteless Pandora that controls people’s nerves intended for?
Am I not right in saying every customer at the casino had this kind of Pandora in their drinks?
Is the ambition of the Tasting Commerce Association so enormous? Since it developed this top-tier contraband, if it hadn’t been discovered, was the Tasting Commerce Association planning to use it to control the world’s elite?
Turning each of you influential people here into the commerce association’s dogs?"
Indeed, it was killing both physically and mentally.
Chen Che’s words thoroughly pushed the incident into an uncontrollable dispute.
The nobility at the casino smashed their glasses in anger, each with a dark, ugly expression.
"Ulatta, you need to give us an explanation!"
"Fuck the Tasting Commerce Association, I’ll get a contraband test when I get home. If I really find contraband in my system, we’re not done!"
"Is this how you treat partners with sincerity?"
The Tasting Commerce Association, to protect Natasha and prevent An Nishang from using her power to strongly lead a search of the grand casino, invited numerous nobles to the casino during this bustling trade period.
The intention was to use these nobles as cover and to pressure An Nishang.
And indeed, to mix the colorless and tasteless Pandora’s Kiss into the drinks of these esteemed guests, thus achieving control over them.
It was truly a win-win.
Who knew this sudden fancypants would disrupt everything the commerce association had planned?
Even pushed the grand casino toward ruin.
Even with a silver tongue, Ulatta found himself pale and powerless now, without any chance to argue, his face waxen as he gazed at Chen Che with venomous eyes.
The reputation, fame, and credibility established since the founding of the Horus Grand Casino in the Ninth Special Zone crumbled into ruins at this fancypants’ urging.
An Nishang, with an indifferent expression, ordered, "Take them down!"
An Nishang could now capitalize on the situation. The entire grand casino was under her full control, and because of the Pandora’s Kiss incident, all attendees were detained and taken away.
Including the manager, Ulatta.
Natasha struggled intensely, her eyes filled with despair.
She knew what painful treatment awaited her in this woman’s hands.
A situation of neither living nor dying!
The nobility at the casino also left with grim expressions.
Not only did they lose money today, but they were drugged too—who could have a pleasant look on their face?
The news spread quickly.
The Horus Grand Casino was sealed off, Tasting Commerce Association manager Ulatta detained by the Special Operations Department.
Pandora’s Kiss attempted to control the upper world, and the whole affair rapidly spread at an astonishing speed.
With it spread the name of one person.
Once seen as a mere nobody, known only as that hardworking fellow in An Nishang’s bed, he singlehandedly brought down the entire grand casino.
In a day, he became famous across the land!
The name Chen Che spread rapidly throughout the Ninth Special Zone.
