97 Win Two Million with One Hundred Thousand (2/2)

”Brother Xiao Luo, don't go!”

Sun Yu pulled at the end of Xiao Luo's jacket, and her delicate face wore a worried and troubled expression. ”These men are professional casino operators, so you can't beat them at gambling. That hundred thousand is something you've saved up for yourself. The odds are stacked against you. At a casino, the house always wins, so you're going to lose it all. I'll ask my family for help in settling my uncle's debts. We only just met today and barely know each other, Brother Xiao Luo, so you really don't have to do this.”

She could not, in good conscience, let a man she had just met put himself on the line for her.

Xiao Luo smiled. He had stepped up to help mostly because of his masculine pride, but now he was fully committed to helping Sun Yu. This girl was sincere, which had helped her find favor in his eyes.

”It's alright. I don't commit to things I'm not sure about.”

As he was saying this, the genius system sounded in his head: ”Ding! Congratulations! You've received the gambling ability and used up five hundred points.”

”Haha. Oh, so young and heroic! This young man has certainly got guts. This way, please!”

Manager Geng was all smiles. Now that Xiao Luo was a customer, his attitude had taken a complete 180-degree turn. He quietly ordered his men, ”Keep watch on Sun Jian'nan. Don't let him get away.”

To turn one hundred thousand into two million was an increase of twentyfold. Was such a thing even possible? Of course, it was absolutely impossible. Otherwise, he might as well just shut down his casino business. In his mind, he had already labeled Xiao Luo a fool. Only a fool would dream of making two million from a hundred thousand at a casino.

For this reason, it was all the more important to keep an eye on Sun Jian'nan!

”Let go of me. I'm going with him,” Sun Jian'nan yelled as he struggled.

Manager Geng waved at his men, signaling them to release Sun Jian'nan.

If all three of them came along, that was just what he wanted—killing two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he could keep an eye on Sun Jian'nan. And on the other, he could watch first-hand as this young man lost a hundred thousand bucks. When he lost all his hard-earned money in the span of a few minutes, the expression on his face would be priceless.

...

The casino's interior was decorated to look like a palace, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was magnificent. The floor was so utterly spotless that you could see your own reflection in it.

Xiao Luo was actually holding onto slightly over a million. However, he knew not to put all his eggs in one basket, so the rest of the money was not on the card that he took out. Entering his PIN number, he withdrew the sum of a hundred thousand and exchanged it for chips.

”Brother Xiao Luo, I'll be too ashamed to face you if you do this.”

Sun Yu was full of anxiety. She was very moved, but her sense of unease was overpowering. How could she drag Xiao Luo into the mess her uncle's debt had created? She was nobody to Xiao Luo, so what right did she have?

”Young man, it's not too late to turn back. A hundred thousand dollars is a huge sum for normal people like us. Please don't be hasty. These are my just desserts, and I alone should bear this burden,” Sun Jian'nan said dejectedly.

Xiao Luo simply smiled wordlessly.

Then, he made a beeline for a table where the dice game Big and Small was being played.

As he went over, he saw the dice showing 1, 3, and 5. The dealer covered the dice in a box, and they rattled around inside as the box was shaken. Closing his eyes, Xiao Luo's ears homed in on the frequency of the shaking sound to get a precise sense of how the dice were tumbling inside.

Having redeemed a gambling ability, with his eyes closed and ears focused, it seemed to him that the box was transparent. He could clearly see every motion of the dice as well as the numbers they were going to land on.
