Chapter 278: Chapter 61 Temptation, Temptation_2
Ah Dai was most afraid of making women cry, so he rushed to explain, "No, I don’t dislike you. It’s just that you’re so close to me and I’m not used to it. Please stop crying, or others will think that I’m bullying you."
The girl turned her sadness into joy, moved away from Ah Dai a bit, but her delicate body was still touching Ah Dai’s arm, the prior temptation wasn’t as strong now. Ah Dai let out a sigh of relief but was too embarrassed to dodge further. The girls next to Yan Shi and Yan Li were doing the same thing. Yan Li’s clarity from before was clearly dispersed by this massive temptation. His burly arm again encircled around the girl’s waist area, occasionally pinching the girl’s waist. The girl only blushed slightly, but did not evade or resist. Yan Shi and Ah Dai both were also resisting temptation, but the death of his beloved wife, Yun Er, was too stimulating. The girl in front of him, though top-notch in both figure and appearance, still couldn’t touch his cold heart. He pushed the girl aside without cherishing her beauty and said in a cold voice, "Stay away from me." The girl let out a delicate cry, her body barely avoiding a fall, and tears welled up in her eyes. Yan Shi, as if he hadn’t seen it, said to the girl next to Ah Dai, "Put a thousand Gold Coins on number thirty-six."
The girl beside Ah Dai showed a slight change in expression, glanced at Ah Dai, and obediently placed the chips worth a thousand gold coins on the betting spot for number thirty-six. The roulette system here was exactly the same as the one in Uncle Fatty’s casino. Even the odds were the same.
The other two gamblers sneered when they saw Yan Shi bet on a single number. One of them bet on the white square representing a pair, while the other on a multiple of three.
The dealer was a middle-aged man in his forties, rather unremarkable looking. He didn’t betray any expression when he saw Yan Shi betting on a single number. In terms of composure, he was far better than the dealers at Uncle Fatty’s casino. He announced the end of betting and spun the roulette. As Ah Dai did in Uncle Fatty’s casino, he quietly channelled his True Qi to the bottom of the roulette. To his surprise, he found a large box underneath the roulette, filled with water making slight ripples. The energy he inputted vibrated incessantly, preventing him from finding the exact position. Ah Dai wondered, could it be that cheating is impossible in this casino?
The girl leaning on Ah Dai lowered her head, detecting the subtle fluctuations of energy from Ah Dai. A flash of cold light flickered in her eyes, and her previous charm disappeared, but the three men did not notice.
Of course, Ah Dai wouldn’t give up so easily. Even though the support underneath the roulette consisted entirely of water, there was still the wooden box holding the water. He gently progressed the energy through the wooden box, and finally succeeded in reaching beneath the roulette just before it was about to stop spinning. Under the control of the energy wire, he successfully dragged the wooden ball into the square labelled thirty-six.
"Ah-!" The other two gamblers exclaimed in surprise. In this round, it turned out that the dealer had unusually lost to everybody. Both of them also had bet a thousand gold coins; they had received quite a few profits. Of course, the biggest winner was Yan Shi. A thousand gold coins had quickly earned him twenty-five thousand gold coins.
Seeing his successful attempt, Yan Shi peeked at Ah Dai, encouraged him, and without hesitation ordered the girl to bet the seventy-five thousand chips on the number thirty-six again. The dealer who had been looking down slowly raised his head, stared intently at Yan Shi, while his eyes flickered with an intimidating light. A faint smirk appeared on his face. It was as if he was saying, "Looking for death? Come on."
Of course, Yan Shi wouldn’t be scared by the dealer’s expression; he smiled slightly and folded his arms on his chest. The other two gamblers were taken aback by Yan Shi’s big bet, but they didn’t follow suit, still placing the same bets as before. The dealer didn’t hesitate, declaring, "No more bets." and then spinning the roulette rapidly under his forceful control.
Ah Dai repeated his previous method and reached under the roulette using his energy. But as soon as his energy touched the roulette, a powerful force suddenly struck from the other side, immediately blocking the energy wire he had emitted. Ah Dai was taken aback, when he looked up, he saw the dealer’s glittering eyes staring at Yan Shi and his hands pressing on the table, he realized that the resisting energy had to be coming from the dealer. The dealer had significant skills, clearly a formidable opponent, but since his hands were pressing on the table, it seemed that his skill set was weaker than Ah Dai’s.
Of course, Ah Dai couldn’t let all the bets he and his friends brought get lost. He quietly activated the Silver Body in his Dantian, and his emitted True Qi subtly changed its manner. The Qi string became extremely sharp, easily breaking through the dealer’s resistance and smoothly reaching under the roulette. The dealer’s face drastically changed as his power got overcome, he grunted and took a step back. At that moment, the roulette was about to stop, the wooden ball continually leaping, seemingly about to settle. Just as Ah Dai was about to drag the ball into the square, he suddenly felt a sharp energy surge from the girl leaning against him, striking like lightning. Because he was afraid that the light from the fighting spirit would leak out, the protective energy wasn’t very potent, and it was easily breached by the sharp energy. Ah Dai grunted and became furious, he suddenly amplified the energy of the Silver Body to the extreme. His body emitted a faint white light in a flash, successfully neutralising the invasive energy. As the wooden ball was about to fall into the thirty-eight compartment, he pulled it down vigorously, successfully keeping the ball in the compartment labelled thirty-six.
