After listening to Zuo Dahai's words, Luo Chao thought carefully.

Indeed, those Africans thought they would absolutely win this game, after all, they were the inventors of the game themselves.

And this gambling big shot seeking them out to gamble seemed to them like a hen inviting a weasel, asking for trouble.

So, these Africans would be like a hungry wolf who's already tasted the fat meat on the bone, their minds clouded by the temptation of money, which could very well happen.

However, these Africans certainly didn't expect, since people would come to them willingly for a bet, they must have been prepared, how could they just happily give away the money to them?

Seeing Luo Chao looking relieved, Zuo Dahai continued, "In short, at that time, those Africans, who were blinded by the lure of profit, each pulled out their weapons and started threatening the gambling big shot."

"But little did they know, that gambling big shot had mingled in the underworld for so many years; it could be said he was battle-hardened, well past his prime, and had seen all kinds of scenes. How would he be scared of a few rural Africans?"

"Honestly, don't talk about a bunch of disorganized rural Africans, considering that gambling big shot's perspective, even if a small country's army surrounded him, he could remain calm and unflustered."

"So, that gambling big shot immediately ordered his bodyguards to take the lead in opening fire and shoot at those Africans!"

"No way!" Upon hearing this, Luo Chao was incredibly shocked. He had initially thought that gambling big shot would use some special method to make those Africans surrender, but he didn't expect him to directly order his bodyguards to start shooting.

"Brother Zuo, although that gambling big shot wasn't afraid of those rural Africans, strength can't withstand numbers, right? If he fired recklessly like this, isn't he afraid that those Africans would go mad and attack him en masse? After all, even if they all have exceptional skills and are wearing bulletproof vests, they couldn't withstand a hundred Africans firing at them all at once!" Luo Chao looked at Zuo Dahai full of doubt.

"Haha, little brother Luo Chao, you don't understand this, do you? You must know that Africans are inherently greedy; in their eyes, the life of a fellow African isn't worth hundreds of US dollars' temptation!" Zuo Dahai said, "When those Africans saw their companions getting killed, they didn't take action immediately because they wanted to see more of their companions getting killed!"

"This way, they can get a larger share of the money because there are fewer people sharing!" Luo Chao exclaimed in realization.

"Exactly, that's exactly what they thought!" Zuo Dahai nodded, "And the gambling big shot had already seen through the Africans' mindset, so his order for his bodyguards to shoot was actually targeted."

"Oh? Targeted—how targeted?" Luo Chao was curious; in fact, Luo Chao was most interested in the wisdom and strategy possessed by these elders.

Seeing Luo Chao was very interested, Zuo Dahai continued, "Haha, this targeting actually started with killing the small fry! In ancient warfare of Huaxia, there was a saying, 'Capture the king first to capture the thief.' Facing a group of enemies, you only need to kill or capture their leader, and they will panic due to lack of command, increasing the winning chance of a battle to over ninety percent!"

"But, this strategy of capturing the king first is only useful against those with similar strength and intelligence. The gambling big shot did not use it when facing these Africans, who were crushed by their IQ. Instead, he chose a strategy suited to different people, starting with killing the small fry."

"Honestly, when I first heard this story, I was also amazed by that gambling big shot's wisdom. I dare say if he hadn't ventured into gambling and joined the army instead, he would probably become a legendary Soldier King or a famous general!"

"This is wisdom, innate wisdom, hard to change by nurture, and it can be said the gambling big shot's rise to fame in gambling is inseparable from his innate strategic wisdom!"

"Facing those Africans, the gambling big shot ordered to shoot the small fry first, then those Africans of a higher tier wouldn't take action because power suppresses from one level up, thinking of their men as mere sacrificial pawns."

"After shooting those African small fry, they began shooting the next tier of Africans, and so on; after killing dozens of Africans, the gambling big shot voluntarily stopped shooting because he judged the psychological bottom line of their leaders by reading their expressions."

"Hahaha, reading expressions." At this point, when Zuo Dahai said this, Luo Chao couldn't help but laugh, "That gambling big shot is truly ruthless, to read Africans' expressions! Africans all look the same, and each one is so dark you can't even see their faces clearly. Trying to read expressions must be quite an endeavor!"

"Haha, it truly is quite an endeavor." After Luo Chao said this, Zuo Dahai also couldn't help but laugh. Initially, Zuo Dahai didn't find anything wrong with this part of the story, but thinking closely, it seemed pretty amusing.

After Zuo Dahai finished laughing, he carried on with his story, "In short, when the gambling big shot and his men stopped shooting, the remaining Africans also laid down their weapons because they finally understood the person before them wasn't someone easy to mess with."

"But those Africans thought they couldn't let their companions die in vain, they at least wanted some compensation, so they proposed an eight thousand US dollar compensation fee as hush money to the gambling big shot; otherwise, they threatened to call America's 911 to report him or something."

Upon hearing this, Luo Chao naturally said, "Oh? The gambling big shot must have paid them, right? Given his status, to be investigated and detained by America's 911 for eight thousand dollars wouldn't be worthwhile! You must know, even if the big shot is very capable, once controlled by American police, even posting bail from jail wouldn't be just eight thousand dollars!"

"Haha." Zuo Dahai suddenly smiled mischievously, "Logically, what you said isn't wrong. Not only you, I think any reasonable person, myself included, would hand over this eight thousand dollars. Less trouble is better than more. But, the gambling big shot didn't do that!"
