"Good, very good, then let's wait and see." He Shen finished speaking and was about to reveal the dice cup.
Ye Hao looked at He Shen with disdain, showing no sign of worry on his face. Instead, it was He Shen who seed a bit uneasy. Seeing Ye Hao looking so confident, he couldn't help but think, what if it really shows nine sixes? Going back and forth like this, he was quite distracted.
With his mind frustrated, he lost much of his confidence to uncover the cup lid.
The bet between He Shen and Ye Hao quickly reached the ears of an elder in a secluded manor.
The old man had graying hair and a deeply furrowed face, appearing to be about ninety years old. His mouth occasionally muttered words unintelligible to the average person.
If soone versed in the stock market was there, they would recognize he was reciting stock indices. It's surprising that a nonagenarian was still murmuring stock indices, which suggests how lively his brain cells were.
At that mont, a man around his eighties entered the manor. Although he appeared old, there was a vague feeling that he was older than he seed. Despite his small stature, he was full of energy, with eyes occasionally flashing with an intimidating brilliance, betraying no signs of weakness.
The elder sitting in the manor squinted slightly, as if he didn't like the glaring sun, and smiled, "Luo Tian, what's the matter?"
Luo Tian was an expert who had followed him decades ago. The old man had done much for Luo Tian, who was wholeheartedly devoted to him, having not returned ho for decades until recently reconnecting with his family...
"Master, Young Master is gambling heavily with a guest from Xiangjiang. The guest has already won five consecutive tis with triples. Zhao Chang made a move and lost once. In the final showdown, sohow that kid won against Zhao Chang with just a two of clubs." Luo Tian said.
"A two of clubs beat Zhao Chang? Was Zhao Chang holding a two of diamonds?" the seated elder asked with a laugh.
"Indeed." Luo Tian nodded with a smile.
"Heh, we have an expert guest." the sitting elder chuckled.
"The most important thing is, Young Master is about to gamble nearly three billion with triples against that guest. If Young Master isn't lucky and reveals another triple, our Pujing casino will have nothing left this year." Luo Tian said with concern.
"Heh, are they betting with nine dice?" the elder asked with a laugh. He knew the New Pujing casino's annual inco. Betting on triple threes would only result in a ninety-fold payout to win twenty-seven billion.
This was their annual total inco at New Pujing. But if labor costs, social events, and various expenses were deducted, they would be at risk of losing over a hundred billion of their savings.
Put simply, if Ye Hao won, it would be equivalent to earning New Pujing's year-and-a-half's profit.
"Yes, sir." Luo Tian said.
"What does the newcor look like?" the elder asked with a smile.
"He's tall and quite hefty and was clamoring to lose money from the start, but his luck was too incredible, so he kept winning. Moreover, what he won was all big money." Luo Tian spoke more and more urgently.
Based on his timing calculations, at this mont, He Shen and Ye Hao should be revealing the results.
"Heh, let's go and have a look ourselves! Not just anyone can cause trouble at New Pujing." After the elder spoke, he slowly stood up, but the strength with which he rose was impressive.
Luo Tian offered a light support to the elder, then invited him into the vehicle.
In the New Pujing casino at that mont, Ye Hao shouted, "Coward, you're just a damn waste, not even daring to open the cup?"
Ye Hao insulted He Shen like that because He Shen had been hesitant to open the cup, as if there was sothing troubling him.
He Shen was in a hard position! Initially, he could feel if he had shaken out nine ones, but once the dice settled, he wasn't sure if he really rolled nine ones.
If he picked up the cup to shake it again, he risked people mocking him for being unconfident, but leaving it unshaken made him feel like he was on the losing streak.
This kind of conflicted feeling made him uncomfortable, filling him with an urge to just open the cup and relieve the tension.
"Damn, you look like you have so much skill, but you're actually a wimp." Ye Hao sighed.
Xu Shaoyuan chid in, "Boss, do you think everyone has your directness? Just like you?"
"Exactly! A narrow nose and forehead like his shows he's not open-handed. Aside from playing tricks, he's good for nothing." Shangguan Longyi, though unaware of where Ye Hao got the nerve to gamble thirty billion on triples, joined in mocking He Shen after Ye Hao had said so.
The onlookers all laughed, secretly chuckling that He Shen wasn't as confident or bold as they imagined.
Ye Hao, the gambler, was even more straightforward, directly betting thirty billion on triple sixes. And with the odds being the smallest possibility.
He Shen had the highest chance to win, yet didn't dare to reveal it.
"Haha," more and more people began to mock He Shen.
He Shen's face turned bright red, and he bellowed, "Ah! I'm just trying not to let you lose too quickly, giving you a few seconds to ease into it, open it!"
He Shen finished speaking and went to uncover the dice cup.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, eager to see if it would show nine sixes again. If it did, they swore to cling onto Ye Hao from now on.
He Shen quickly grasped the dice cup, then lifted it...
Before anyone could catch sight of the dice, a loud voice shouted to halt.
But He Shen lifted the cup too fast, uncovering it completely within a second.
"Woosh!"
A figure, as swift as the wind, appeared beside He Shen, and a large hand attempted to press the dice cup back down.
However, by now everyone had seen the nine sixes, and the entire room was shocked...
Nanling Martial Fool instantly appeared before that figure and smashed his fists like teors.
That figure, whose true form was not yet revealed, was hit by Nanling Martial Fool's fists and stumbled back repeatedly.
This didn't imply he was too weak, just that he was caught off guard by how formidable the casino's experts were.
Nanling Martial Fool's killing intent was exposed, his entire body emanating a chilly aura, and he coldly snorted, "My boss is gambling, and you're here to chatter? If you're dissatisfied, co fight."
Nanling Martial Fool's words drew the attention of those who admired strong physiques.
Luo Tian's figure halted; he held a cup lid, but the nine dice each showing six pips stood securely on the table.
The scene fell silent; it was the silence before shock.
The reporters from Macau casinos with quick reflexes hastily took out their caras, snapping away.
This was an unprecedented mont in history; they were thrilled.
The New Pujing casino was in an uproar, as it had turned up nine sixes, even being bet upon for thirty billion...(to be continued. If you enjoy this work, you're welco to recomnd votes and vote monthly on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.)
