Chapter 210: Chapter 193: Wild Passion

Inside the CEO’s office.

The casino is currently calculating the total of Lu Li’s chips.

Meanwhile, Lu Li is still glued to Julia Giannini, chatting uninhibitedly.

Julia Giannini whispered hot air into Lu Li’s ear, “Lu, come with me tonight, I promise I’ll make it an unforgettable night for you!”

Lu Li gently patted her back, without expressing his stance directly, “Let’s talk about it after we leave here.”

As he said this, he glanced toward Zhang Guocheng.

Zhang Guocheng lightly shook his head, seemingly signaling Lu Li not to go.

Lu Li roughly knew why.

His current situation was like a woman being eyed by a starving man.

If he easily gave in to Julia Giannini, it would be disadvantageous for subsequent actions.

After all, the person was originally a lesbian.

And now she had a taste of you.

There’s a high chance her interest might diminish.

Further development would be difficult.

Although Lu Li was confident in his high-level life pheromones, better safe than sorry.

If Julia Giannini really lost interest after being with him.

Then wouldn’t all his efforts tonight be for nothing?

After a brief consideration, he immediately made a decision.

Tonight, he could not let Julia Giannini succeed.

In fact, Lu Li was quite thirsty.

He quite wanted to devour a woman as sexy as Julia Giannini.

After all, he had been ambiguous with Blazing Baby and Liu Kexin for so long without success.

As a young man full of vigor and vitality.

Plus, having evolved several times, he didn’t know why his desires seemed to have intensified.

Having such thoughts was normal.

But no matter how thirsty Lu Li was, he was still a man of principle, knowing what to do and when to do it.

Hold on a bit.

Wait until the task is completed.

Afraid he won’t get it then?

Lu Li deliberately sidestepped Julia Giannini’s words.

The two chatted a little longer over there.

Suddenly, the office door was knocked from outside with a “knock knock knock.”

Immediately, a young man’s voice came, “Mr. Mark.”

Lu Li knew the chip calculation was done.

He looked toward the door.

He wanted to know how much he had won tonight with one thousand US Dollars.

Zhang Guocheng, Shen Xia, Julia Giannini, and Qin Liang all had similar reactions.

Of course, this included Mark Giannantonio.

He shouted toward outside, “The door’s not locked, Gab, come in.”

Click.

The door was pushed open from the outside.

Gab walked in with a shocked expression.

Mark Giannantonio inquired, “Mr. Lu, how much is the total of his chips?”

Lu Li and the others all perked up their ears.

Gab, with a slightly trembling voice, said, “Mr. Lu’s total in chips is one hundred and two million five hundred sixty-four thousand three hundred US Dollars.”

One hundred million and two hundred thousand plus US Dollars?

Zhang Guocheng, Xiaolin, and Wang Yu were taken aback.

Shen Xia, Qin Liang, and Julia Giannini also gasped slightly.

They really couldn’t believe that Lu Li, just sitting there for half an hour, had won over a hundred million.

Lu Li himself was somewhat surprised.

He’d been too preoccupied with flirting with Julia Giannini earlier.

He really hadn’t paid attention to how much he had won.

Upon careful reflection, he knew why he had won so much money.

The main reason was that the flirting with Julia Giannini had been so intense, each time he would absentmindedly bet three hundred thousand US Dollars on a single number.

He’d win one million fifty thousand US Dollars in just one round.

After several consecutive rounds, didn’t it add up to over a hundred million US Dollars?

Honestly, it was fortunate that Mark Giannantonio came down quickly, otherwise they might have real financial trouble tonight.

Though they wouldn’t go bankrupt, Mark Giannantonio sat there with both hands trembling.

He really hadn’t expected one wrong decision would cost the casino so much money.

Initially, Mark Giannantonio thought he would be able to stop this and not be fired by the board.

Now, hearing they lost so much, he knew his career was over.

Even though Mark Giannantonio knew he was about to be unemployed, he still conscientiously completed his last shift, “Okay, I know, get the tax form for Mr. Lu to sign, and then transfer the funds to the designated account.”

Gab responded quickly, “Okay.”

Lu Li, of course, understood that winnings from a casino required tax declarations.

According to his understanding of Ugly Country’s tax system, whether gambling winnings in a casino need to be reported or withheld depends on the type of gambling, the amount won, and the ratio of the winnings to the wager.

The specific rule is: if your horse racing winnings are six hundred US Dollars or more, or if your winnings are over three hundred times your wager in bingo or slot machines, or if your winnings in lottery are one thousand two hundred US Dollars or more, or in the number lottery are one thousand five hundred US Dollars or more, the casino operator will require your social security number and notify the IRS of your additional income.

If you’re very fortunate and win five thousand US Dollars or more in gambling.

Then, besides notifying the IRS of your social security number and winnings, in most cases, the casino will withhold income tax at a rate of twenty-seven percent.

If you refuse to provide your social security number, the casino may withhold at a rate up to thirty percent.

In both scenarios mentioned above, you’ll receive a W-2G form showing your gambling winnings or the taxes withheld.

This is the tax rate for citizens and green card holders of the Ugly Country.

In fact, foreign tourists pay even higher taxes on gambling winnings in the Ugly Country’s casinos.

For example, Lu Li won over $100 million USD today, and later he needs to show a valid passport and pay a 33% tax.

Although Lu Li knows he’ll need to pay tens of millions of dollars in taxes later, he doesn’t feel any pain.

With just $1,000 as his principal, winning tens of millions of dollars is nothing to feel sorry for, right?

Mark Giannantonio politely said to Lu Li, “Mr. Lu, please provide a valid passport.”

Lu Li replied, “Sure, and my friends have also won quite a bit; let’s help them cash it out together.”

Mark Giannantonio said, “Alright.”

Zhang Guocheng, Qin Liang, Shen Xia, and the others all won more than the taxable amount and took out their passports.

As for Julia Giannini, although she won a lot, she’s a citizen of the Ugly Country and only needs to provide her social security number.

Gab took everyone’s documents and immediately went to handle the process.

Because Lu Li didn’t have a bank card abroad, after consulting with him, Mark Giannantonio also proactively contacted the Bank of America in the Ugly Country to open an account for him, as transferring to a domestic account would be a hassle.

Since Lu Li was already planning to use money in the Ugly Country to buy a plane, he naturally didn’t want to transfer back and forth and agreed to the casino’s request.

He waited a little longer in the president’s office.

Before long, Gab returned.

He returned the passports one by one to everyone.

Along with a W-2G form for each person.

Lu Li took a look at it.

He found that it showed the amount of his gambling winnings and the tax withheld.

The total winnings of over $100 million were accurate.

The tax withheld amounted to a terrifying $33,840,600.

In the end, Lu Li received a total of $68,723,700.

Converting to soft currency, it’s about 490 million, just a bit under that.

Seeing that he won so much money, Lu Li couldn’t help but brighten up.

The money to buy a private jet is in hand!

…

Leaving the casino.

Julia Giannini pulled Lu Li into a stretch Cadillac.

As soon as Lu Li got into the Cadillac, he noticed it was different from other cars.

He used his superpower to check it out.

He found that the car’s protection seemed exceptional.

It should be a bulletproof specially made Cadillac.

Julia Giannini was completely entranced by the high-level pheromones.

She pulled Lu Li into the backseat.

She lifted her skirt and straddled Lu Li’s lap.

Julia Giannini cupped Lu Li’s face and fiercely kissed him.

She kept panting, “Darling, I want you! Give it to me now! Right now!”

Lu Li, stirred by her, almost couldn’t hold back.

But he saw Zhang Guocheng, Shen Xia, Qin Liang, and others still waiting for him from afar, so he suppressed his desire.

Lu Li gently pushed Julia Giannini away, saying warmly, “Baby, you’re too hasty.”

Julia Giannini couldn’t hold back anymore.

She wanted to pounce on Lu Li again, but was pushed away again.

This made Julia Giannini somewhat humbled.

She looked pitifully and asked, “Did I do something wrong to make you unhappy?”

Lu Li looked into her eyes, “No, you’re great.”

Julia Giannini became unsure, “Am I not pretty or in good shape?”

In truth, she always had absolute confidence in her looks and figure.

But for some reason, she becomes so humble and insecure in front of Lu Li.

Lu Li praised her, “You’re beautiful, and your figure is great.”

Julia Giannini became confused and asked, “Then why don’t you want me?”

Lu Li knew that if he wanted to indulge himself, he could have her now, but he really couldn’t do it, so he suppressed his desire.

He put on a calm face and said, “You know I’m from Huaxia, and we’re quite traditional in this regard. If I go to bed with you just after meeting today, I really can’t accept it.”

Julia Giannini anxiously said, “Then what would it take for you to want me? Please, I really want you right now.”

Lu Li looked out the car window at Zhang Guocheng waiting and thought of the sacrifices he made for the mission.

He turned back to Julia Giannini, softly saying, “At least three dates. If you think you can wait, then I’ll satisfy your desire, but if you can’t, I’d feel you don’t respect me, so there’s no need to meet anymore.”

Julia Giannini bit her luscious lips, her eyes full of struggle.

After a while, she took a deep breath and spoke in a trembling voice, “I… I can wait that long, but I can’t stay in New Jersey for long, I’ve got to return to California in two days. How will we date?”

Lu Li said, “How about I visit California after I finish a competition?”

Julia Giannini reluctantly nodded, “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

Lu Li pointed outside, “Can I head back to the hotel with my friends now?”

“Wait!” Julia Giannini grabbed Lu Li’s collar, gave him a deep kiss, and then released him reluctantly, “You must come see me in California as soon as you can.”

Lu Li promised, “I will!”

With that, he got out of the car and left.

Once he was out, Lu Li took a deep breath and thought that this woman was too wild; he almost couldn’t resist.

He really wanted to indulge with Julia Giannini but had to refuse because of his mission.

Lu Li pondered, “No rush, it’s only a matter of time.”

He believed the day wouldn’t be far off.

With this thought, Lu Li walked toward Zhang Guocheng, Shen Xia, and others, feeling rather upbeat.

Tonight, he won nearly $70 million.

Tomorrow, he can go buy a private jet!
