98 Going All-In (2/2)

”Sh*t! What the hell is that dice handler doing?” Manager Geng grumbled testily.

Meanwhile, on the betting floor, seeing that Xiao Luo was on a roll, the other gamblers held back their wagers. They were waiting to see what Xiao Luo would bet on this time.

The dealer refused to believe that Xiao Luo's good fortune would continue, so he poured his all into shaking the dice and rattling them fiercely in the box.

”Place your bets, Big or Small?” Setting the box down, he almost seemed to be yelling directly at Xiao Luo.

Once again, without a shred of hesitation, Xiao Luo placed his chips worth a total of eight hundred thousand on 'Big.'

Many of the other gamblers followed his lead, but some of them felt that the result had been 'Big' three times in a row already, so chances were that it would be 'Small' this time. After some second-guessing, they placed their bets on 'Small.'

Xiao Luo calmly addressed the dealer, ”Open it!”

Seeing how confident he was despite the high stakes, the dealer's palm was slick with a layer of cold sweat.

If the dice showed 'Big' again, he feared that he would not be able to work in these parts again. He could even lose his livelihood. Nevertheless, gritting his teeth, he uncovered the box. Seeing the results, he felt like his soul had been plucked out of his body, and his legs buckled without warning. If he had not been using both hands to support himself on the table, he would have crumpled to the floor in a heap.

The dice showed 'three-five-six,' and it was 'Big' again!

From the very beginning, Sun Yu's emotional state had gone through stages of worry, fear, shock, and now incredulity. This man whom she had known for barely three hours was most impressive. In her mind's eye, Xiao Luo's image had grown incomparably enormous and magnificent. She was in a daze as she stared at Xiao Luo's profile.

Her uncle Sun Jian'nan also felt like he was dreaming. Ten minutes ago, Xiao Luo had come in with a hundred thousand, and now he had 1.6 million. In this short time, he had performed a miracle at this casino.

”What the hell? It turned out 'Big' for four consecutive rounds!” the gamblers, who had bet on 'Small,' protested in annoyance.

On the other hand, the gamblers who had decided to follow Xiao Luo were overjoyed. A few of them even told him, ”Bro, your luck is amazing, we'll just copy your bets. Hehe!”

At this point, the dealer excused himself, saying he did not feel well, and a new dealer took over for him. As he took his seat, he looked at Xiao Luo and asked with a dry smile, ”Sir, are you feeling lucky tonight?”

”Pretty average!” Xiao Luo replied impassively.

”You've already won four rounds in a row. You call that average, huh?”

As the new dealer spoke, he switched out the dice with a sleight of hand.

Nobody else saw it, but the move did not escape Xiao Luo's eyes. He did not react or show any sign of having seen what the dealer had done. Now, he finally understood why the house always won. Thinking that one could make a profit at a casino while gambling was delusional.

The new dealer began to shake the dice, and Xiao Luo shut his eyes to focus his hearing. His ears picked up the faint sound of a die rolling after the dealer had stopped shaking. This meant that the die was loaded, and the dealer would be able to change the results as he saw fit.

”Bro, are you betting on 'Big' or 'Small'? Hurry up and decide!”

The other gamblers saw that Xiao Luo had not placed his bets and were beginning to get flustered.

”Brother Xiao Luo, if you don't feel confident, let's just wait and see for this round,” Sun Yu said tenderly.

”Mm.” Xiao Luo nodded. There was no obligation to bet, and no matter what he bet on, the dealer could change the results to force him into a loss.

Seeing Xiao Luo abstaining from betting, the new dealer felt that he was probably an experienced gambler. The kid must have heard something strange that tipped him off. The dealer tried to agitate Xiao Luo, taunting him, ”Sir, you were really manly earlier, going all-in without a second thought. What's happened now? Are you scared?”

”I think you know what I'm afraid of, don't you?” Xiao Luo chuckled and shot the dealer a pointed look.

It was a loaded statement, and hearing this, the dice handler's expression darkened. He was thinking to himself, Has this kid discovered the trap I set?

Xiao Luo refused to elaborate further and left it at that.
