194 What Do You Have to Pawn? (1/2)

After his initial success, the man in white did not go all-in on a specific number, blending into the crowd and betting only on ‘big’ or ‘small’. He actually won his four consecutive wagers, the five hundred silver taels he originally had grown to four thousand silver taels.

The generals were seasoned gamblers; how could they not know that this person was an expert on the game of chance? At least, he was exceptionally attuned to listening to the dice. All of them hope that he would continue placing his bets and win, while some were secretly pleased that they had seen through this person’s skills and had managed to win a tidy sum by following his wagers – he was an absolute godsend!

The winning streak of the man dressed in white drew the other generals that were betting at other tables over, like sharks that smelled blood. Just as the crowd stared at him in anticipation of his bet placement, hoping to follow in his footsteps, the man in question kept his banknotes leisurely and went back to watching the game.

A Dongxuan general who was beside him could not help egging him on after seeing that, ”Brother, quickly place your bet. We’re all waiting for you!”

The man in white’s gaze hardened but he did not reply; his attention towards everything around him vanished along with his desire to gamble.

To him who was clad in white, he already had four thousand silver taels. As long as he concentrated and observed a little longer to decide on a number to throw in his entire hand, he could walk away with forty thousand silver taels.

The amount would sufficiently cover his recent expenditures.

One should not be overly greedy. The casino was not going anywhere; he could come again when he lacked funds. The crowd today was odd; the men around him were muscular and large, they had sanguinary guards following them as well. They were most probably militants. If he were to be involved with these people, there would be trouble, even though he was unafraid of them.

The man’s gaze tightened into a sharp focus. Almost no one saw how his ears were slightly quivering.

Qiu Yunsan, who had already lost four times, held the dice-cup in his hands and shook it thoroughly. Suddenly, he jumped into the air and slammed a palm on the table – a skillful look, as he laughed. ”Place your wager, place your wager. Don’t you dare place them after losing your compass! Finalize your bets!”

The generals could not help moaning and groaning as they slapped the banknotes in their hands onto the table, hearing Qiu Yunsan’s provocative words and seeing that the man dressed in white was not really placing his bets.

The man in white hesitated for a moment before he pushed all the banknotes he had to an empty square – he had gone all-in for another specific number!

However, everyone’s eyes bulged this time; they looked at the man as if they were seeing a god.

The man in white had thrown in his entire hand on the number 18.

That was a specific ‘Triples’!

what made An 18 ‘Triples’different was that its probability was less than ten thousand and the payout odds for an all-in was another ten times. This also meant that once the player won, the wager payout would be a hundred times the original amount. If the result was indeed 18 this time, Qiu Yunsan would have to lose four hundred thousand silver taels just on the man in white's wager!

It was a game of high stakes indeed.

The man in white was helpless as well. In complete honesty, he had only wanted to win forty thousand silver taels but he had clearly heard Qiu Yunsan shaking an 18 ‘Triples’ this time around.

Since he had shaken the cup and he had heard it himself, that was four hundred thousand silver taels being thrust into his hands – how could he not accept it?

The corners of Qiu Yunsan’s lips twitched. Is this really boss’ friend? Quite a ruthless man, truth be told.

As he extended his hand to flip the dice-cup, his palm was actually trembling a little. With a roar, he finally uncapped the dice-cup. He would acknowledge his defeat if it really came to that.

Admitting defeat when it comes, is I, Qiu Yunsan’s, virtue.

When the dice-cup was lifted, three dice laid there quietly under the crowd’s gaze.

They were six, six… and five.

It came up to a total of 17.

The wager had been placed incorrectly!

A slight rumbling arose as the other generals were more concerned with their winnings or losses of ‘big’ and ‘small’.

”F*ck, I lost again!”

”I win, I win! I win this round!”

The man in white focused his vision on the 17 points on the table, unable to shift his sight away. What was going on?

Qiu Yunsan did not cheat, he was entirely sure of this. Before the dice-cup was upended, the numbers inside had come up to 18 points – that was unmistakable too.

How could it have turned into 17 when the cap had been lifted?

On the outer circumference of the crowd, Shui Wuyin left with a faint smile to check on other tables.

The man in white looked at the 17 points on the table quietly and looked at Qiu Yunsan chortling while sweeping the banknotes to himself quietly. He then turned to leave without any emotion displayed on his countenance.

Yun Yang was already by the door; he had even moved an armchair over and was seated comfortably with one of his legs propped up against another.

Seeing that the man in white had walked over, he said in shock, ”Hmm? Not gambling anymore? Do you not wish to play a few more rounds?”

The man’s expression was short of being delighted; he gave Yun Yang a scowl before walking towards the exit.

Yun Yang chuckled. ”Did you lose badly?”
