“No problem. Young Master Yang, please do up the agreement,” Qiao Mei said. Qiao Mei had learned this from the underground gambling den in the capital the last time. If a player wanted to stake an item in a gamble, then there had to be a clear written agreement. The agreement would be signed in triplicate as the gambling house also needed to keep a copy as proof. Without the written agreement, the player might not honor the agreement.
Yang Tian prepared the agreement readily. Bella called an officer of the casino to come over and witness the signing and stamp the casino’s seal on it. The deal was considered done.
“Alright then, is everyone ready? If you are, let’s begin,” Bella said as she stood behind the gambling table.
“Wait! I want another croupier!” Yang Tian said to stop her.
“Are you thinking of getting someone you know so that you can cheat? Young Master Yang, are you so scared to lose?” Qiao Mei said, seeing through Yang Tian’s scheme immediately.
Yang Tian flew into a rage out of embarrassment and said, “It’s the two of you who know each other! I heard what Bella said to you just now! Who knows if you and Bella will join forces to cheat me!”
Bella’s eyes immediately locked onto Yang Tian and he felt as if he was being targeted by a falcon. He began to regret what he had just said. If Bella really knew Qiao Mei, then it meant that Qiao Mei also knew the casino owner, Jack. With his current status, there was no way he could go head-on with Jack.
All this while, Jack had pretended not to see Yang Tian causing trouble in the casino, owing tens of thousands of dollars or bringing away some girl. After all, he had to show respect to Yang Tian’s father. However, if Yang Tian was shameless enough to deliberately cause trouble in the casino, then Jack would not sit back and do nothing.
Most of the Yang family’s businesses were located in East City. Jack was still the person who had the final say in Sky City. Anyone who dared to bully Bella must have a death wish.
“I.. I didn’t mean that. Sister Bella, don’t take it to heart…” Yang Tian said fearfully.
“Oh, is that so? Then what do you mean by that, Young Master Yang? I’d like to hear your reason for saying that,” Bella said as she looked at Yang Tian unsympathetically.
For some reason, Bella really liked Qiao Mei the moment she saw Qiao Mei. This adorable little girl had the most exquisite face in the whole world and a soft and cute voice, but her temperament did not match her sweet appearance. If Bella ever had a daughter in the future, she really hoped that her daughter would turn out like Qiao Mei.
“Sister Bella, let’s forget it. He probably speaks without thinking and doesn’t mean to target us. Let’s continue,” Qiao Mei said as she patted the back of Bella’s hand.
Qiao Mei could tell that Yang Tian meant a lot to Xia Zhe. Otherwise, Xia Zhe would not have deigned to be gallivanting in the casino with such a kid. If
Yang Tian died here now, Xia Zhe’s mission would only become more difficult. Qiao Mei was still hoping that Xia Zhe could end his mission as quickly as possible and go home soon.
Su Rui and Xia Zhe broke out in cold sweat when they saw what Qiao Mei did. Bella really hated physical contact with anyone and was obsessed with cleanliness. They had heard that anyone who had touched Bella before had been dismembered by her.
Bella reached out to pat Qiao Mei on the head and said, “Alright, I’ll let him off on your account. We should not waste any more time. Let’s start.”
Xia Zhe looked at Qiao Mei dotingly and remained still. He could no longer see anything else around him. He did not expect his little girl to be so capable, much more capable than him. No matter how hard he tried, he had not been able to gain the trust and familiarity of either Jack or Bella, but Qiao Mei had done it.
There was indeed something special about Qiao Mei that made people like her, believe in her and want to get close to her.
Bella was a very polished croupier. After five rounds, the 100,000 dollars in Yang Tian’s hand had already gone into Qiao Mei’s pocket. In this final round, Qiao Mei bet everything she had, a total of 200,000 dollars.
“Young Master Yang, you have to try harder. Don’t lose everything,” Qiao Mei said.
By now, Yang Tian was already in a mess. He could not tell how Qiao Mei did it. Bella was also very curious about how Qiao Mei managed to win every round.
In the game of Sic Bo, one could really only rely on luck. However, some croupiers knew how to control the dice to roll the points they wanted. There were also people who could make out the total points by listening to the sound of the dice hitting the dice cup.
The dice cup in Bella’s hand was custom made by the casino. It was constructed in such a way to prevent people with exceptionally good hearing from determining the total points from the sound. Otherwise, these people would just be making the game too difficult for the ordinary gamblers..
