Chapter 443: Chapter 443: The Four Hundred Million Gamble (Second Update)
Su Feiya felt her brain go blank, her body trembling uncontrollably, her face as pale as death.
This was a billion US dollars!
Although Su Feiya had been in charge of the casino for many years and had accumulated a considerable fortune,
a billion dollars was still an unattainable figure.
Moreover, Su Feiya was sure.
Once her boss learned about this, he would undoubtedly send her to some small country in Africa to become a public slave, using her body to earn compensation to pay off the debt.
Thinking of that terrifying scenario filled Su Feiya with despair.
No!
She must not lose!
At this moment, the crowd of onlookers had recovered from their initial shock and began to cheer.
Cai Lalan and Guo Xiaoliang exchanged glances, both feeling a sense of relief!
Wu Yu, however, stared dumbfounded at the scene.
How could this be!
Wu Yu knew full well the extent of Su Feiya’s sleight of hand.
How could she make such a rookie mistake?
What was going on?
But no matter what, winning was a good thing!
Wu Yu let out a sigh of relief and silently thanked all the gods and buddhas in heaven.
Just then, Su Feiya suddenly stood up, staring intently at Xue An.
“Is it you who tampered with the game?”
Before Xue An could speak, Cai Lalan had already jumped up and shouted, “Everyone saw it, Mr. Xue didn’t touch the dice cup just now, how could he have tampered with it? With telekinesis?”
“Exactly! Are you trying to find excuses to welch?” Guo Xiaoliang said with a sneer.
The onlookers began to discuss among themselves, but no one believed Xue An could have tampered with the game.
After all, he had been sitting far away the whole time.
Su Feiya ignored the discussions and kept her gaze fixed on Xue An.
She finally understood that everything that had happened was an illusion, that this man from China was definitely a top-tier expert in sleight of hand.
It was laughable that she had thought she had caught a newbie!
Su Feiya regretted it so much that she was blue in the face, yet she still tried to blur the lines, desperately clutching at the chance.
Xue An heard the accusation and did not confirm or deny it but leisurely peeled a grape, tossed it into his mouth, and chewed slowly.
Then Xue An laughed.
“Can’t accept the loss?”
Su Feiya’s face was deathly pale as she clenched her teeth and said nothing.
“Heh heh!” Xue An ignored her and turned to Wu Yu, “Did you win?”
Wu Yu nodded, “Won! A billion!”
Wu Yu now admired Xue An immensely because she couldn’t help feeling happy for him, and yet he was still so composed.
Just because of this, this man was certainly no ordinary person.
Upon hearing this, Xue An chuckled, “A billion, huh… So now I have twenty billion, right!”
Wu Yu was startled, then nodded, “Yes, that’s right!”
“Well then!” Xue An turned to Su Feiya, “Interested in another round? The stake, well, it’s these twenty billion!”
Everyone in the hall fell silent.
Wu Yu was so angry she could explode.
How insatiably greedy could this man be!
Wasn’t winning a billion enough for him?
He actually wanted to keep gambling!
But to Su Feiya, it seemed like grabbing at a lifeline, and she immediately nodded, “Good, I’ll take it!”
This was her last chance to turn things around.
Actually, she was not even sure if she could come up with the ten billion, let alone twenty billion.
But to have a chance at overturning the situation, Su Feiya decided to go all in!
This time, Su Feiya decided to roll the dice first.
She had never rolled the dice with such solemnity and took a very long time to do so.
Finally setting down the dice cup, she took a deep breath, then slowly lifted the cover.
Su Feiya could be certain that when she had just placed the bet, the dice inside the shaker had been three sixes.
But when the lid was lifted, she was instantly stunned.
There were once again three strikingly large red dots showing ones.
How could this be!
The surrounding crowd erupted into cheers.
Su Feiya felt a chill run through her body, her vision darkened, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.
Mike hurried forward, his voice grave, “Madam!”
“Quick, notify the boss!” Su Feiya knew this matter certainly couldn’t be concealed, nor was it something she could control anymore.
She could only hope that the boss would arrive soon.
“Yes!” Mike’s eyes swept over Xue An with a sinister glint as he ordered Liu Wu in a low voice, “Keep a close watch on this guy, including those who came with him. Don’t let a single one get away!”
“Understood!” Liu Wu immediately nodded in agreement.
While Mike went to fetch the big boss, Wu Yu had also finished rolling the dice and lifted the shaker.
Three sixes!
An instant kill!
This result extinguished the last glimmer of hope in Su Feiya’s heart, and she slumped onto the table, stunned.
Wu Yu let out a sigh of relief and then, with a serious expression, walked over to Xue An’s side.
“Mr. Xue, mission accomplished!”
Xue An smiled, “Much appreciated!”
Wu Yu glanced at the security guards glaring furiously at Xue An from a distance, took a deep breath, and whispered, “Mr. Xue, this situation is getting out of hand, but with so many people watching, they at the Pyramid won’t dare to back out now. Otherwise, they might as well close their casino!”
“But I’m afraid once we receive the money, these people might try something underhanded. So, I think we should get the money in front of everyone and then leave out in the open the entire time; otherwise, we might not even make it off this street!”
Xue An looked at Wu Yu with a hint of admiration. This girl, her mind was very clear!
He then nodded, “Alright, I got it!”
Wu Yu bit her lip as if wanting to say more.
Just then, a large group of bodyguards poured in.
Mike carefully guided the way at the front while an older white man smoking a cigar followed behind.
“It’s Mr. Carnegie!”
“The big boss has arrived!”
Murmurs rippled through the crowd.
Carnegie slowly made his way to the table.
Su Feiya, now flushed with shame, had already stepped aside, “Boss!”
Carnegie waved his hand, signaling her to stay quiet, then leaned his hands on the edge of the table, his hawk-like eyes fixed on Xue An.
The venue gradually quieted down.
The rowdy crowd also turned silent as cold cicadas.
After all, in Las Vegas, Carnegie was an emperor-like figure.
Wu Yu stepped back a few steps, her face pale, her heartbeat so fierce it seemed as though it would leap from her throat.
But Xue An remained calmly seated, showing neither sadness nor joy, utterly disregarding Carnegie’s gaze.
After a moment, Carnegie crackled a slight smile, “I hadn’t expected to encounter such a master from China today! Truly a great fortune in my three lives!”
He spoke in standard Mandarin.
Xue An returned a faint smile, “Your Mandarin is quite good!”
“Thank you! But may I inquire as to the gentleman’s name?”
Xue An shook his head gently, “My name isn’t important. What’s important is… the current game.”
Saying this, Xue An gently tapped the table, looking at ease as he observed Carnegie.
Su Feiya grew even paler, her body shaking as though she would collapse.
Carnegie, however, took a puff from his cigar, then exhaled, his eyes slightly narrowing amidst the swirling smoke.
“You can rest assured on that account, the Pyramid never reneges on a debt!”
Saying this, a butler stepped forward from behind Carnegie and placed three cards on the table.
“These are supreme cards issued by a Swiss bank, each with a billion dollars! You can verify at any time,” Carnegie said indifferently.
Xue An smiled and gestured gracefully, “Wu Yu, if you please.”
Wu Yu obediently went forward to take the bank cards, finally feeling some semblance of calm.
But Xue An’s next words left her completely stunned.
Xue An said lightly, “Now I have a total of forty billion dollars in funds. Are you interested… in another round?”
