Hannah said, “Sister Linda, let me introduce the both of you. This is the friend that I mentioned to you before. Her name is Elaine. She enjoys playing mahjong, just like you, and she always has a very good hand in mahjong! She’s always been willing to bet, and she is not a sore loser either.”Elaine hurriedly said, “Hello, Sister Linda!”Linda nodded lightly before she smiled and said, “It just so happens that I have always been missing another permanent mahjong friend. If you’re interested, you can come here often to play mahjong with me and Hannah in the future.”Elaine hurriedly replied, “Oh, that’s really great! This is such a coincidence! I have a friend who I have been regularly playing mahjong with, but she is already going to the United States soon. I was afraid that I would not be able to find a friend to play mahjong with anymore!”Linda took the initiative to stretch out her hand and said to Elaine politely and respectfully, “Hello, Elaine. I am Linda. Welcome to my hou
Everyone had their own tricks up their sleeves, and they could not wait to start the game.Therefore, Linda clapped her hands as she greeted another woman, smiled, and said, “By the way, this is Gianna Rowe. She is also a close friend of mine. We are all not very good at gambling, so we should just start the game with the four of us now!”Elaine also replied excitedly, “Okay, let’s get started immediately. To be honest, my hands are getting itchy already!”Linda smiled before she suggested, “Since today is the first time we are playing mahjong together with Sister Elaine, let’s not start with too much capital. We will start with one thousand dollars, and we will cap it at sixty-four times, okay?”“What?”Elaine was a little shocked when she heard Linda’s words. She blurted out immediately, “A thousand dollars capped at sixty-four times?! This would eventually cost more than sixty thousand dollars at the end of the day! Do you usually play mahjong with such a big capital?”Linda s
Elaine was overjoyed when she saw Linda discarding the twenty thousand tile, and she immediately flipped her tiles over as she yelled, “Haha! I win! I take the twenty thousand!”“Oh, no!” Linda deliberately replied, “Ahh! Why am I always so unlucky?! Why did I discard that tile?!”Elaine hurriedly replied, “Hey, Sister Linda, we have already come to an agreement. So, since you’ve lost, you cannot go back on your words anymore!”Linda replied, “Don’t worry, Sister Elaine. I am not that kind of person. Since I am the one who discarded the wrong tile, I will definitely pay you the money that you won.”Hannah also chimed in as she said, “Yes, Elaine. Sister Linda is betting a few thousand dollars for a mahjong game just for fun.”At this time, Linda had already handed the twenty-four thousand dollars over to Elaine as she said, “You won twenty-four thousand dollars, right? Why don’t you count this money first?”Elaine was very excited, and she quickly took the money in her hands and
After reaching a consensus, all of them began to draw their tiles again.After Elaine finished drawing her tiles, she flipped her tiles around and almost screamed out in excitement as soon as she straightened her tiles!Her tiles were perfect!The so-called ‘Heavenly Hand’ meant that they could win as soon as they drew their tiles!She had to have so much good luck to be able to draw such good tiles!Besides that, the tiles that she drew were really very good. She had a pair of seven to eighty thousand, and this would mean that she would be able to win with a sixty or ninety thousand.Generally speaking, as long as the ten thousand and ninety thousand were in someone else’s hands, she would not be able to win. That meant that from this moment onward, as long as someone discarded a ninety thousand dollars, Elaine would win the game immediately!Under this kind of circumstances, she would be able to win at the highest multiplier!As she thought about this, Elaine excitedly arrang
”I win!” Linda yelled excitedly as she pushed all of her tiles down suddenly! “I have fifty-eight thousand, all in one suit, a Concealed Hand, and a Concealed Kong! This is a multiplier of forty-eight, and that means I win four hundred and eighty thousand dollars! Sorry, Sister Elaine!”Elaine felt as though she had just fallen into an ice cellar!Four hundred and eighty thousand dollars just because she discarded one tile?She had just won three hundred thousand dollars after such a long time, and she was already giving up all of her winnings just like that. She even had to top up another one hundred over thousand dollars to make up for the losses…That was more than a hundred thousand dollars!Elaine felt very uncomfortable, and she felt as though she was breaking apart mentally.Hannah hurriedly persuaded her, “Oh! Elaine, it cannot be possible for you to win every game anyway! You have already won so many games. It does not matter if you lose one game. You will get back all o
Even though Hannah was trying to stabilize Elaine’s mentality and emotions, Elaine’s mentality had already collapsed at this point!To put it bluntly, she did have some skills when it came to playing mahjong. However, the biggest problem was that she could not change the tiles that she drew. There was nothing she could do if she had a bad hand. At this time, all of her emotions were openly displayed on her face.For instance, she could be very excited for a very long time if she won, but when she lost, she could not help but wait to eat the other person alive!She had won so many games earlier, but she had only won about three hundred thousand dollars. However, she had lost so much money after losing two big games. This naturally made her feel very uncomfortable. Not only did she lose the three hundred thousand dollars she had won, but she also lost more than two million dollars! This was literally half of her life savings!Elaine had not earned much money for herself in this life,
This set of tiles was another Heavenly Hand. She could win with two North Winds and a red tile.Most importantly, if she could get a North Wind tile, she would be able to get East, South, West, and North Wind. She would be able to win a big four!Winning with a big four was one of the biggest multipliers!If she could touch a North Wind, she would be able to win her two million dollars back!As she thought about it, Elaine really wanted to yell in excitement as she wanted to get a North Wind tile.She felt that the North Wind tile or the red tile would usually be of little use to anyone. Therefore, an average person would usually discard these tiles when they have it. So, even if she could not draw the tile on her own, someone would definitely discard one of these tiles.Little did she know, these tiles that she had were already a dead-end!The North Wind and the red tile that she needed were already in Gianna’s hand. That was to say, like her previous Heavenly Hand, the set in
Elaine had completely fallen into a pit. She did not realize that she had already fallen into a trap. All she could think about was how she could win her money back.Therefore, Elaine got very nervous when she heard that Linda did not want to continue playing anymore. At this time, she blurted out immediately, “How can we stop playing just because you want to stop playing now?! We already agreed to play another eight rounds! We have only played three rounds now!”Linda replied helplessly, “Sister Elaine, it’s not that I do not want to play with you anymore. However, the point is that you do not have the money to play with us anymore!”After she was done speaking, Linda said, “Why don’t we take a step back instead? Why don’t you settle this account first and then, we can play a smaller game? I will still accompany you to play even if it is a one thousand dollars or one hundred dollars game. Will that be fine?”“One thousand dollars? One hundred dollars?” Elaine blurted out anxiously
