Chapter 441: Chapter 441: How about we make a bet? (5th update)
Wu Yu’s face was a mask of astonishment as she watched Xue An walk out from the crowd.
She had never expected Xue An to step in at this time.
Guo Xiaoliang and Cai Lalan were also taken aback.
Especially Guo Xiaoliang, who felt quite grateful in his heart.
Such a good brother!
He dared to stand up for him at a time like this.
But this was clearly not something he could handle, so he called out, “Buddy, thanks for your kindness! But this is not something you can handle, so better not get involved!”
Xue An smiled upon hearing this, “Whether I can handle it or not, I have to try to find out!”
At this moment, Mike looked at Xue An with a dark expression and said coldly, “And who might you be?”
Xue An laughed, “It doesn’t matter who I am, the key is… I’m taking care of this matter!”
Wu Yu couldn’t help feeling frustrated and agitated when she heard this.
Guo Xiaoliang’s problem hadn’t been resolved yet. Why were you jumping into the fray, making things even more chaotic?
She stepped forward and blocked Xue An, “Mr. Xue, this isn’t a joke, please don’t cause any more trouble!”
“Causing trouble?” Xue An smiled faintly, “No, I’m not here to cause trouble.”
At this point, Mike, almost laughing with rage, said sarcastically, “Miss Wu, your tour group really is interesting. Do you just have all sorts of people in it?”
Wu Yu’s face turned pale. She was about to smooth things over with a few words to cover up the incident as much as possible.
Xue An smiled faintly, “Your casino insists on accusing my friend of cheating, so fine, I’ll take on his issue!”
“You’ll take it on? Do you know how much money that is? Over ten million US dollars!” Liu Wu couldn’t help but sneer.
Xue An pulled a card from his pocket and threw it in Liu Wu’s face, saying calmly, “Is that enough?”
Liu Wu was about to explode with anger, but he was stunned when he saw the card.
Because it was a top-level black card with no spending limit issued by a Swiss bank!
With this card, one could overdraft up to several billion US dollars at any time anywhere in the world.
Of course, the review and issuance of such a card were also extremely strict.
There were only a few dozen such cards globally, all in the hands of major tycoons.
How could this man possibly have such a card?
In fact, the card was given to Xue An by someone from the Dark Council, and Xue An had simply accepted it. Now, it proved to be very useful.
Liu Wu was still astonished.
Mike also saw the card and his expression changed immediately.
To possess such a card was in itself a kind of status.
Therefore, his demeanor became much more respectful.
“Sir…,” Mike wanted to say something.
Xue An waved his hand impatiently, “Swipe the card! Whatever he owes you, I’ll pay!”
“Yes!” Mike beamed with joy.
In this pyramid casino, the rule when catching a cheater was that they had to cough up whatever they had won.
Guo Xiaoliang had won tens of millions, so he had to pay back tens of millions.
That was a hefty sum of assets!
And as the head of security, Mike would also receive a handsome bonus.
He was naturally very pleased.
Meanwhile, Guo Xiaoliang and his wife watched the scene in a daze.
After a moment, Guo Xiaoliang shuddered, regaining his composure, and quickly shouted, “Friend, don’t give it to them, I really didn’t cheat…”
Xue An gestured with his hand and smiled faintly at him, signaling him to stop talking.
Wu Yu and the other team members who came with her were all stupefied.
Especially Wu Yu, who muttered to herself, “So extravagant? That’s more than ten million, in US dollars…”
This figure had clearly surpassed Wu Yu’s comprehension.
At that moment, Liu Wu came running back excitedly, “Mr. Mike, the money has been transferred!”
Mike took the card, walked forward, and respectfully handed it over with both hands.
“Sir, the payment has been made. You and your friend can leave now!”
Now that the money was in hand, showing some respect seemed appropriate! After all, nobody would quarrel with money. Mike thought to himself.
However, Xue An stood there quietly without taking the card and said, “Leave? Who said we were leaving?”
Mike was taken aback.
Not leaving?
What was he up to?
At this point, Xue An said indifferently, “Since you claim my friend cheated and fixed the game, then I will bet with your casino one more time. I wonder… Do you dare accept it?”
Upon hearing these words, Mike first looked stunned and then a brilliant smile gradually spread across his face.
For them, the scariest thing was someone not gambling!
“Accept, of course we dare accept, why wouldn’t we?” Mike said with a beaming smile.
Guo Xiaoliang, Wu Yu, and the others all gathered around.
Wu Yu, in particular, looked at Xue An as if she were looking at a fool, lowering her voice and saying, “Mr. Xue, have you lost your mind? Guo Xiaoliang just got cheated, and you still dare to gamble?”
Guo Xiaoliang also said, “Yeah, Mr. Xue, don’t play anymore. This casino has no credibility! Even if you win, they won’t let you leave!”
Xue An simply smiled and did not answer them, instead addressing Liu Wu, “How much can I overdraw on this card?”
Liu Wu trembled and hesitated for a moment before saying, “This kind of card can overdraw… at least ten billion US dollars a day!”
This number caused a stir among everyone in the hall.
Ten billion…
For the vast majority of people, it was an astronomical figure beyond their wildest dreams.
But Xue An merely nodded slightly and then said to Mike, “I dislike trouble, so I’ll only play once. As for the bet… let’s go with these ten billion!”
As soon as these words were spoken.
The entire room fell silent.
Mike was startled.
The largest single bet ever placed at the Pyramid Casino was a little more than one billion US dollars, and that had been a collective bet by several bosses.
This man was actually so audacious to place a bet of ten billion in a single game?
Mike, who prided himself on having seen countless big scenes, began to sweat on his brow.
“What, you don’t dare accept?” Xue An asked indifferently.
Just then, a seductive voice was heard, “Since this gentleman likes excitement so much, then we at the Pyramid would be pleased to oblige!”
With that, a blond-haired and blue-eyed glamorous lady walked over gracefully.
Upon seeing this woman, Mike and the others quickly stepped aside and called out respectfully, “Madam!”
This woman did not pay any attention to Mike and the others, but with a smile on her lips, walked straight towards Xue An.
Wu Yu’s face paled upon seeing this woman and she whispered, “This woman is Su Feiya, the lover of the casino’s behind-the-scenes owner and also the highest authority in the casino. Moreover, she is an expert in cheating at cards!”
She was confidentially informing Xue An about the identities of these people.
Xue An did not turn around, but merely smiled faintly and said, “You seem to know quite a lot!”
“I… I used to work as a croupier in this casino!” Wu Yu clearly did not want to bring up the past, and then she clenched her teeth and said, “Mr. Xue, you’d better not gamble with these people. You can’t beat them!”
Xue An smiled, “Thank you for your advice, but my luck has always been very good, and I have never lost a bet!”
