Following that, the man in white no longer placed single bets but blended into the crowd and switched to betting on Big or Small. However, he won every single one of his four bets; his initial five hundred taels turned into four thousand taels.
All the generals were veterans in the casino. How could they not know that this person was truly an expert in gambling? At least, he was highly accomplished in listening to the dice. They all hoped that he would keep up the good work and win a few more bets. Many of them were secretly delighted that they had seen through this person's prowess earlier. They had followed the crowd and won a lot just now; the opportunity to make a fortune had fallen from the sky.
Once the man in white's valiant achievement was announced, the generals from the other tables came as well. They swarmed over like sharks that had smelled fresh blood!
Just as everyone was staring at the man in white, waiting for him to place his bets so that they could follow the crowd and make a fortune, the man in white casually kept the banknotes and returned to his spectator mode.
A Dongxuan general beside the man in white could not help urging him when he saw that the man in white was not placing his bets, "Brother, place your bets quickly. We're all waiting for you!"
The man in white's gaze froze but he did not reply. It was as if he really had no intention of placing his bets, completely ignoring the attention around him.
As far as the man in white was concerned, he already had four thousand taels of silver. He only needed to observe for a while longer, concentrate his energy, listen out the exact numbers, and place a single bet. Then, he would be able to obtain forty thousand taels of silver.
With this forty thousand taels, it would be enough for his expenses for the time being.
One should not be too greedy. In any case, with the existence of this casino, he could always come back if he ran out of money. The situation today was very strange. The men around him were all tall and sturdy, and they all had a boundless murderous aura around them. He was afraid that they were all from the military and were definitely not ordinary people. If he really got entangled by this group of people, although he was not afraid, it would still be troublesome.
The man in white's gaze was focused. Almost no one noticed that his ears were trembling slightly.
Qiu Yunsan, who had lost four rounds in a row, held the dice cup in his hand and spun it up and down, left and right. Suddenly, the dice cup flew into the air and slapped the table in a practiced manner as he guffawed. "Place your bets, place your bets! Don't you dare to place your bets now that there's no beacon? Place your order! Ka ka ka ka … "
Seeing that the man in white really did not place his bets, and hearing Qiu Yunsan's clamor, the generals could not help but squeal as they waved their banknotes and slammed them on the table.
The man in white hesitated for a moment, then pushed all the silver notes in his hand into an empty space.
It was a single bet again!
But this time, everyone's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. They looked at the man in white as if they were looking at an immortal.
Because the white robed man's single bet this time was shockingly — 18 points!
This white-clothed man was actually suppressing the ancestor of Six Six Six Six, Leopard!
The ancestor of 18 points, the leopard, was a single bet but it was different from the usual points. It was a unique point and the probability of it appearing was less than one in a million. Therefore, the odds of a single bet had to be multiplied by ten. In other words, once the bet was made, the odds would be a hundred times. If the leopard really appeared this time, Qiu Yunsan would have to pay 400,000 taels just for the man in white alone!
It was such a huge bet.
The man in white felt extremely helpless about this. In all honesty, he only wanted to win forty thousand taels. However, he had clearly heard that this Qiu Yunsan fellow had pulled out all the tricks in this round. He had really shaken out a leopard!
Since the other party had gotten it and he had heard it too, then … it was obvious that 400,000 taels had been delivered to him. How could he not accept it?
The corner of Qiu Yunsan's mouth twitched. 'Is this really boss's friend? This friend is a little ruthless … '
Reaching out to flip the dice cup, his palm was actually trembling. Finally, with a roar, he lifted the dice cup. 'If I lose, I lose!
It's Qiu Yunsan's virtue to admit defeat when I'm willing to bet! '
The dice cup was lifted.
Everyone looked down and saw three dice lying quietly on the ground.
One was six points, another was six points … and the last one was five points.
Seventeen points.
Wrong bet!
The other generals were more concerned about winning or losing. After a momentary pause, they started making a ruckus again.
"F * ck! I lost again! "
"I've won, I've won. I've won this round, haha …"
The man in white's gaze froze, staring at the shining seventeen points on the table. He did not move his gaze away for a long time.
What was going on?
Qiu Yunsan was definitely not playing any tricks, this was something he could be absolutely sure of. Before the dice were revealed, the number below was definitely eighteen points.
However, why was it seventeen points after the dice were revealed?
Outside the crowd.
Shui Wuyin wore a faint smile as he left, checking the tables one by one.
The man in white looked at the seventeen points on the table quietly, watching Qiu Yunsan laugh as he swept away the banknotes.
Then, he turned and left without any expression.
Yun Yang was already at the door. He had even taken an armchair and was sitting comfortably with his legs crossed, swaying from side to side.
Seeing the man in white walking over, he asked in surprise, "What? Not playing anymore? Not going to play a few more rounds? "
The man in white's expression was ugly. With a snort, he walked out.
Yun Yang chuckled. "Lost? Lost everything? "
This fellow was annoying!
The man in white frowned.
He almost could not suppress his anger.
If it had only been the fifty taels from the start, it would have been fine if he had lost. However, after some twists and turns, it had reached four thousand taels. That was a huge sum of money.
It was all gone in one go.
He had lost four thousand taels of silver, not fifty.
Looking at the man in white's gloomy expression, Yun Yang chuckled inwardly.
This was Shui Wuyin's tactic.
He would let you win first, win to a certain extent, then let you lose everything in one go. The agony would be pushed to the extreme!
His boss had said that losing fifty taels was too little. Then he would let him win more first and clean it all up in one go.
"It's only fifty silver taels. So be it if you've lost. It's not worth it." Yun Yang smiled amicably. "You're welcome to come again."
The man in white snorted, wanting to ignore him and walk out. However, he could not help retorting, "I've lost four thousand taels!"
Yun Yang chuckled. "How could there be four thousand taels? You admitted that you only had fifty taels then! Even if you've won four thousand taels in the process, the three thousand nine hundred and fifty taels are only chips. They don't truly belong to you. It's good that you didn't lose the bet but a bet is a bet. What you took away in the end is yours! "
"What you brought in the beginning is also the one that lost."
The man in white's face turned green but he was speechless.
"Leaving after losing? What a good gambler. Still, you can't help feeling a little disappointed. Sigh, fifty shiny taels of silver are gone just like that. Sigh, fifty taels of silver as a base, and all the way up to four thousand taels of silver. Just like that, I can imagine how upset I feel. Sigh, there's nothing I can do about it … Who doesn't want to win when they're here to gamble? Let it go, this is life, ah, life … "
Yun Yang comforted the man in white incessantly but the man's expression grew darker the more he listened.
Finally, he stopped and turned to look at Yun Yang, saying in a low voice, "Shut up!"
Yun Yang's eyes widened. "What? I say, didn't you just lose fifty silver taels? Do you have to be so anxious? I tried to comfort you out of goodwill but you're still throwing a tantrum at me. My goodwill has gone to waste … "
"That's the last fifty silver taels I have with me!" The man in white said in a low voice, "I don't wish for anyone to use this against me."
"The last fifty silver taels …"
Yun Yang nodded. "This is indeed worthy of sympathy. Still, are you leaving just like that? Do you need me to lend you some silver taels? To recoup your losses? "
The man in white's eyes shone. "You can lend it to me?"
Yun Yang said, "Helping others is helping yourself. But you must have something as collateral. Of course, I'll need to pay interest when I borrow silver taels. "
The man in white took out a jade pendant. "How about this?"
"Sure." Yun Yang took it and studied it carefully, weighing it in his hand. He said in a low voice, "I don't know the value of this jade pendant but it's not a problem to pawn it for three thousand silver taels."
"Three thousand silver taels …" The man in white sucked in a deep breath. "This is the Heart of the Sea Jade …"
Yun Yang rolled his eyes. "Just tell me if you can lend it to me or not."
"… Yes!" The man in white swallowed his anger, almost suffocating to death.
However, he had no silver taels on him and had lost his last fifty silver taels. If he really did not lend it to him, what should he do next? Did he really have to steal, rob, or do something so despicable?
With these three thousand silver taels, there was at least a chance to recoup his losses. So what if the interest was high? Who did not know that borrowing money from a casino had a high interest rate? But that was for ordinary people. Did he think that he was a fool who did not know how to gamble?
Taking the three thousand silver taels, the man in white snorted and glanced at Yun Yang from the corner of his eyes. "You're not allowed to leave. I've remembered you. Once I win, I'll redeem this jade pendant immediately."
"That's not a problem at all!"
Yun Yang was beaming. "I wish you victory and a killing spree here and now. Right, there's one more thing I need to make clear. If you return me three thousand silver taels within an hour, the jade pendant will still be yours. However, if it's past an hour, you'll need three thousand five hundred silver taels to clear your debt. "
What a scoundrel! He dared to ask for one-sixth of the mother gold's interest within an hour. How could this be considered a loan shark? This was robbery! No, it was even more vicious than robbery!
The man in white snorted and walked in. He didn't even try to bargain. Obviously, he was very confident in himself!
…
Half a quarter of an hour later.
The man in white walked to Yun Yang with exasperation. The veins on his face were bulging and his temples were throbbing.
"You've recouped your losses so quickly. Brother, you're in luck this time!" Yun Yang asked despite knowing the answer.
The man in white was already in a bad mood. Hearing Yun Yang's words, his expression darkened.
"Have you lost?"
Yun Yang looked at the man in white in shock and disbelief, saying, "You … how did you lose so quickly? It's only been half a quarter of an hour. We agreed on an hour just now. You don't have to be so anxious! "
