Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Reckless Wager (First Update)
Wu Yu stamped her foot in frustration; she simply couldn’t handle Xue An anymore and couldn’t help but think angrily, “Do whatever you want, but you’ll see how formidable it is once you lose!”
At this moment, Su Feiya had already walked up to Xue An and performed an elegant curtsy, “Respected sir, Mike and his people were far too rude. I apologize for what just occurred!”
Many men were already staring dumbfounded.
For this Su Feiya, whether it was her speech and conduct or her charm and poise, could be considered an exceptional beauty.
Xue An, however, appeared unfazed and casually asked, “Since your Pyramid has accepted the bet, when does the game start?”
His words completely disregarded Su Feiya.
Su Feiya was slightly stunned and somewhat surprised inwardly.
Her beauty was a weapon that never failed.
Yet this young man, who splurged so extravagantly, remained utterly unmoved.
But her sophistication ran deep, and the hint of surprise didn’t show. She merely smiled faintly.
“For a gambling sum that large, naturally we would invite you to the VIP hall,” she said.
Xue An shook his head, “No need. I think this place is quite nice.”
Su Feiya paused, clearly unsettled in her heart.
But she was in no way willing to let go of the billion-dollar bait.
Thus, after only a slight hesitation, she nodded, “If sir insists, then let’s do it here! May I ask what you would like to bet on?”
“Anything is fine. Just not too troublesome!”
“In that case, since you are from M Country and considering something simple, why don’t we bet on a roll of dice?” Su Feiya suggested.
“That’s fine!”
Seeing Xue An agree, Su Feiya’s smile became even more radiant, while inwardly she sneered coldly.
Although she was a native of M Country, her master was a master of sleight-of-hand from Southeast Asia.
As the representative of East Asian gambling skills, dice had become something Su Feiya could play with extraordinary skill.
This man actually dared to gamble on dice with her.
It seemed he was truly an ignorant fledgling!
Su Feiya was secretly delighted and immediately ordered her subordinates to prepare.
Soon, a large gambling table was set up, and all the gambling accessories were fully readied.
“Sir, please select the dice!” Su Feiya said, pointing to a whole box of brand-new dice on the table with a smile.
Xue An gave Wu Yu a slight smile, “Miss Wu, you choose for me!”
Wu Yu was taken aback, “Me?”
Xue An nodded, “Didn’t you used to be a croupier? You should know well, go ahead!”
Wu Yu moved forward hesitantly to choose the dice.
Seeing this, Su Feiya signaled to Mike with her eyes.
Mike understood the hint and quickly approached to whisper, “This Wu Yu used to be a croupier at our casino!”
Su Feiya nodded imperceptibly, then gave Wu Yu a meaningful glance.
By then, Wu Yu had already chosen the dice and walked back to the table.
Su Feiya smiled and asked, “Sir, shall we bet on the size or something else?”
Xue An, sitting in his chair, said carelessly, “Anything is good as long as it’s simple!”
“Very well, let’s bet on the size then!”
The so-called betting on size meant comparing the points rolled by the dice, with the higher roll winning, and a tie on equal points.
This was also the most basic form of play.
But it was precisely because of its simplicity that it was all the more exciting.
“Sir, since you want to gamble with my Pyramid, then you may roll first!” Su Feiya confidently declared.
In her view, Xue An was definitely an ignorant newcomer; even if he rolled first, it wouldn’t matter.
Even if he truly rolled three sixes, she could easily roll a tie.
Xue An smiled, but he didn’t reach for the dice cup, instead smiling at Wu Yu.
“Miss Wu, I’m not interested in this thing. You roll it for me!”
That sentence was like a bombshell.
It not only stunned Wu Yu on the spot but also made everyone who heard it think they had misheard.
This stunning bet had naturally attracted countless onlookers, but they were all kept at a distance by the casino’s security.
And now, these onlookers all looked at each other in disbelief, thinking that Xue An must have gone mad.
Hearing this, Guo Xiaoliang’s expression also turned serious, and then he bent down to whisper in Cai Lalan’s ear, “Wife, what do we do if my buddy loses later on?”
Cai Lalan’s expression was like still water, then she clenched her teeth, “The Cai Family never owes anyone favors. If he loses, I’ll have to pay it back even if it means selling the iron pot!”
Guo Xiaoliang nodded, “Good, what you said is exactly what I was thinking. Damn it, it wasn’t easy to come up with an infallible blackjack formula, and now these ignoramuses are accusing me of cheating! Do I need to cheat?”
At this, Guo Xiaoliang’s face was full of righteous anger.
He was a mathematics prodigy from Tsinghua University who, after much hard work, had devised a sure-win formula—only to be accused of cheating by these people, which naturally filled him with rage.
It was then that Wu Yu finally snapped out of her shock and quickly waved her hands, “No, no, no!”
“Why not?”
“This is a bet of one billion yuan, I… .”
Xue An smiled, “You won’t have to pay if you lose, what are you afraid of? If you win, I’ll give you a big bonus, enough to cover your school expenses for ten years!”
Wu Yu was stunned. How did he know I was in school?
Su Feiya had been watching the scene with a smile the whole time, feeling more and more certain in her heart.
Finally, Wu Yu clenched her teeth, “Alright, then!”
And with that, she took the dice cup with trembling hands and started to roll the dice.
She shook it very slowly and for a very long time.
It was clear that Wu Yu was trying her best to roll a favorable number.
When she finally put down the dice cup, Wu Yu felt like she was going to faint; then she looked at Xue An.
Xue An smiled slightly, signaling her to uncover it.
Wu Yu closed her eyes and lifted the lid of the dice cup.
Onlookers craned their necks to see, then burst into an uproar.
Wu Yu’s heart chilled, and she quickly opened her eyes to look.
The three dice showed the numbers 556.
Wu Yu’s legs went weak, knowing it was over!
For a top cheater like Su Feiya, any dice that weren’t rolling maximum points seemed certain to lose.
Her whole body was trembling, and she looked at Xue An with immense guilt.
But unexpectedly, Xue An just smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned, and then stretched out his hand to Su Feiya.
“Please!”
Su Feiya almost laughed out loud. Even with her eyes closed, she could roll a higher number than that.
So with a smile on her face, she nodded, took the dice cup, and elegantly shook it a few times before gently placing it down.
“I’m sorry, sir, but I think you might lose!”
“Oh? And why would you say that?” Xue An said indifferently.
“Because my intuition tells me so, and you know… a woman’s intuition is very accurate!”
With that, Su Feiya lifted the dice cup, her face full of confidence and arrogance.
But the room fell dead silent.
Su Feiya was slightly taken aback. What’s going on?
She hurriedly looked down and then froze.
There, the three massive ones lay inside the dice cup.
Xue An smiled faintly, “It seems… a woman’s intuition isn’t always accurate, is it!”
