Chapter 99: Chapter 99: High Stakes Gamble
Su Yan shouted loudly, slammed the table, and when the dealer lifted the bamboo tube, the dice indeed showed a high score.
Excited shouts erupted from the crowds both within and outside the three circles, and the enthusiasm in the entire Jixiang Gambling House reached an unprecedented height.
Jin Lan and Jin Hua, who had been a bit timid at the start, also began clapping and cheering along; by now, they were completely caught up in the gambling atmosphere.
A full two hours had passed, and Su Yan had not lost a single time.
Moreover, she bet larger and larger, causing others to stop gambling and instead flock around to watch.
With an unpleasant look, the dealer pushed a pile of silver in front of Su Yan and gritted his teeth, “Again!”
Playing with a silver ingot in her hand, Su Yan teased,
“Again? Aren’t you afraid of losing the entire Gambling House?”
The dealer immediately became smug.
“What a joke, everyone in Linglan City knows that our Jixiang Gambling House is the biggest.
You think we would collapse over losing just several thousand taels of silver?”
A flicker of amusement passed through Su Yan’s eyes; it seemed the dealer was getting carried away by his gambling fever, starting to talk big.
“Since you say so, how about we make a big bet?” she proposed.
“How big?” the dealer inquired with curiosity.
Su Yan gave Jin Hua a signal, and Jin Hua took out a dazzling Luminous Pearl from her embrace and placed it on the table.
The bright Luminous Pearl attracted everyone’s gaze, along with the greed in their eyes.
“This Luminous Pearl is worth a fortune, able to buy not just one but a dozen places like your Gambling House.
Let’s gamble on the final game. If you lose, this Gambling House is mine.
If I lose, this Luminous Pearl is yours. What do you say?”
“This…” The dealer hesitated.
The lure of the Luminous Pearl was indeed great, but he wasn’t the owner of the Gambling House.
If he lost it, he wouldn’t even know how he’d die.
“What’s the matter, don’t you dare?” Su Yan challenged with a raised eyebrow, her tone brimming with provocation.
The surrounding onlookers also started egging him on, eager to witness this bold wager.
“Bet, for heaven’s sake! The lady dares to wager, what are you, a full-grown man, hesitating for?”
