"Sheldon, are you cheating? How are you winning every hand?"The seductive woman sitting across from Sheldon glared at him. She slammed the table and stood up, clearly agitated.With a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Sheldon picked up a card with one hand and replied indifferently, "If you can't handle it, don't play. Losing and just sitting here sulking won't prove anything, Ms. Card Whisperer!"Seraphine, also known as the Card Whisperer, immediately became furious. "You know my nickname in the gambling world, but you've got the guts to openly provoke me! If you're so confident, let's settle this one-on-one!""Come on, let's talk things out nicely. Harmony brings wealth, right?" Jayden Hunt, Skyport's tycoon, quickly intervened with a polite smile."Hah… Card Whisperer, huh? You're just a vulgar female gambler," Sheldon said disdainfully. He casually flipped a chip, and declared coldly, "Since you proposed a one-on-one, let's make it big. Let's go all in and bet all our chips
The young man Sheldon had referred to was Frederick."Apologize? Are you kidding me? I don't even spare a glance at these low-life scumbags! If you dare lay a finger on me, I'll..."Bang!Before Jayden could finish, Sheldon blew his brains out with a single shot. He casually tossed the corpse aside, then looked disdainfully at Seraphine."What about you?"Seraphine was terrified, and her limbs lost all strength. She trembled like a leaf as she screamed, "Please don't kill me! I'll be good!"She collapsed to the ground, and even licked Frederick's shoes. "I'm sorry, handsome! It was an accident! I'll make it up to you! There's a hotel nearby. I can get a room for us! I have lots of tricks up my sleeve! I promise you'll have a great time!"She fluttered her eyelashes seductively as she spoke.Frederick kicked her away in disgust. "I don't need anything from you. Just stay away from me."He had simply tried to give a warning to Sheldon out of kindness, but it unexpectedly trigger
Hearing Sheldon's earnest advice, Frederick just smiled and shook his head. "Since you've promised to give me fifty million chips, I'll just play around with it. It's just a little gambling for fun! I'll bet all fifty million. I'll risk it all for fun and play a couple of rounds, gentlemen."Sheldon was stunned. "Fifty million chips are a lifetime income for ordinary folks! You could easily cash out and leave!"To think Frederick planned to lose all that massive amount on the gambling table! This kid... He wasn't ordinary!Sheldon could only think of one possibility—either Frederick was a fool, or he was an exceptionally formidable opponent who could shake things up.Hearing this, the two chuckled. "Alright! We don't care about who you are. We only care about money! Come on, kid!""It's rare to see someone so generous with money. Why, you're practically giving it to us! In that case, let us teach you a lesson on how to play the game on the gambling table!"-At this moment,
"No need to keep an eye on him anymore. Once he blows through the fifty million, he'll probably get out of this place," the man said flatly. He downed the high-intensity vodka in his crystal glass, then looked up with a chilling gaze."Every year, there's some arrogant fool who thinks he's got it all figured out. They always end up losing everything in one night and leaving with their tail between their legs. This guy won't be any different!"-"Seeing you're a newbie, how about starting with something simple? Perhaps something like Betting on Dice?" The Gambling Prodigy, Julius, grinned. However, his smile didn't reach his eyes.Betting on Dice was a simple game. Players placed their bets on whether the total value of the three dice would be "big" or "small". Big would mean a total value of between eleven and seventeen, while small would mean a total value of between four and ten. The Gambling King, Wesley, chuckled. "Betting on Dice? With a 50% chance, surely he won't lose
Wesley and Julius were seething with rage. Their eyes were bloodshot, and they were clearly furious. Even Sheldon sensed the long-absent hostility. He placed a hand on Frederick's shoulder, and said, "Buddy, you've already won a hundred and forty million. You also have the fifty million I gave you. You've earned close to two hundred million tonight. Listen to me, take this money and leave now. If you do that, you'll be the biggest winner. If you keep playing, your overnight riches could easily become nothing."Frederick smiled. "Mr. York, I know you're concerned about me. You're worried I might get carried away and lose it all. But I didn't come here to win money. I came here to play, and it's either I crush them or they crush me!"Upon hearing this, the people around him exchanged glances and silently distanced themselves from the gambling table."Ahem! We should call it a night!""You guys go on! When legends fight, us mortals shouldn't get involved!""That's right!"Wesley a
Julius heard the surrounding discussions, and smirked arrogantly. "I didn't want to be petty with a newcomer. But nowadays, some youngsters are too cocky. If you don't put them in their place, they forget where they belong!"Wesley chuckled. "Exactly! They should know their place and act accordingly. This is the price of overestimating oneself. Give him a bloody lesson he won't forget!""Five hundred million is enough for you to live for ten lives without lifting a finger! Hahaha!"Frederick shot them a sideways glance. "I haven't even revealed my tiles yet, but you two are already making a racket? Disgusting! You're irritating! Also, you're still acting cocky, huh? Isn't that what youngsters do?"Before the two could retort, Frederick revealed his tiles on the spot.In an instant, the smile on Julius's face froze.The spectators were shocked to the core. Their jaws dropped as they erupted into shouts of disbelief."That's...""Eighty!""There isn't a single big tile, but
His words were like a nuclear bomb detonating on a calm sea, causing a thousand layers of waves to rise.Everyone was shocked."Did I hear that right? He wants to take on the entire Nova Star single-handedly?""Challenging the Gambling King and Gambling Prodigy was mind-blowing enough as it is! But that was just the appetizer. His target is the entire casino!""He must be a gambling legend from out of town!"Sheldon wasn't as surprised. From the previous gambling match, he had already seen that Frederick was hiding a great potential.Frederick had waited for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow. So, it wasn't surprising that he aimed for Nova Star!The dealer stood dumbfounded, unable to utter a word. "I need to report this to our boss!"After two minutes, the lobby manager approached Frederick with a smile. "Mr. Lester, our boss heard about your recent gambling match. It was truly magnificent. He specifically asked me to give you three hundred million in cash as a farewell
After hesitating for just half a second, she instantly realized what she was thinking and scoffed. "Nonsense! That jerk went on a date! What danger could he be in? Do I need to worry about him? Besides, what is he to me? He's just a fake husband! Why should I care about his well-being?"Though she said this, Jennifer pondered for a moment. "But after all, he's still my subordinate. I do have an obligation to care about the condition of my employees."-At Nova Star, Frederick rejected Jennifer's incoming call.Why did the ice queen suddenly call him? How weird! He didn't want any distractions right before the big battle. So, he decided to call her back later.Three minutes later, a middle-aged man arrived. He had a cigar in his mouth and was wearing a mink coat. A large group of men in black surrounded him as they arrived in a flurry."Hello, Mr. Lester. I'm Lucas Campbell, owner of Nova Star," Lucas said. "This is a check for five hundred million. You also have my respec
