Chapter 222: Another Round
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Having operated a casino for over a decade, Tony was naturally confident and not the least bit afraid of gambling with Lucas.
“Of course, if you agree to bet, you must accept to lose. Mr. Zander, if you lose in a while, I hope you will keep your promise,” Lucas said indifferently.
Tony slicked his greased hair again and said with utmost confidence, “Haha, punk, you’re mad! Tell me, how do you want to play?”
“We’ll play a simple game where the person with the highest card wins. We can also play dice or poker. How does that sound?”
“Of course. How do we decide the winner?”
“When one side admits defeat. How about that?” Lucas narrowed his eyes.
The people around were suddenly in an uproar again.
There would usually be a standard set point in such gambling games, such as the number of rounds, number of wins by one party, or when one party lost everything.
A rule where the game would go on until one party admitted defeat and surrendered was extremely rare!
Figures of status usually cared a lot about their pride and wouldn’t admit defeat easily unless they already lost everything they had to lose!
“Hahahaha, punk, you’re the one who came up with this idea! So don’t blame me for being ruthless!” Tony said with an icy cold gaze. Since this man doesn’t know any better, I’ll win all his money and teach him an unforgettable lesson!
Soon, Tony got someone to prepare a VIP room and took Lucas, Cheyenne, and Lena inside.
This disappointed many people in the hall. They wanted to see what would happen, but they didn’t dare to make Tony start a gamble with the young man in the hall. Thus, they could only stand near the private room and wait for the final result.
There was a giant gambling table in the middle of the spacious room. Lucas walked over with a composed expression and sat down on one of the seats while Cheyenne stood behind him worriedly. Lena hesitated for a moment before walking over too. She then stood beside Cheyenne and grabbed her hand tightly.
Tony snorted and walked over to take a seat opposite Lucas while his underlings walked over and stood behind him.
“Hmph, kid, you’re really arrogant. Let’s hope you can still be arrogant later!”
Tony stared at Lucas with a hostile gaze and gestured for the dealer to start preparing the cards and things needed for the game.
At this juncture, Lucas seemed to recall something. “Oh, by the way, I left the three million dollars worth of chips I just exchanged and the money I won at the table just now. Mr. Zander, Little Atlantis City won’t swallow up my money, right?”
Cheyenne was stunned. Only then did she recall that Lucas had just exchanged three million dollars for a pile of chips that he left at the gambling table where William had been. Later, she got distracted because her father had used her as collateral and lost the bet. She then left with Lucas according to plan and completely forgot to get those chips!
But those chips, including the ones that Lucas won, were worth a total of more than three million dollars. It wasn’t a small sum of money at all!
At the thought of this, Cheyenne couldn’t help but look at Lucas with a sorrowful gaze. She had forgotten about those chips, and so did Lucas. No matter how wealthy he was, he shouldn’t be squandering it away like that.
Tony’s face twitched, and he felt extremely speechless.
This man actually forgot about his chips worth more than three million dollars. Can he be any more arrogant?!
He must be trying to show off his wealth in front of me and show that he doesn’t care about that money, huh? Fine. I’ll teach him a good lesson today and see what he can do after he loses all his money!
“Hmph, although you are indeed careless, it’s none of our business if someone else takes the chips away. But the staff of Little Atlantis City aren’t the type to take advantage of others when they’re not paying attention. We won’t swallow up the chips belonging to our customers.
“You, go fetch his chips for him!” Tony casually pointed to a subordinate beside him and instructed him to go and bring Lucas’s chips over from the other table.
He was actually not worried about those chips being snatched away and divvied by others.
The security measures of Little Atlantis City had always been good, and those who were rich and people of status wouldn’t bother taking away the chips left behind by others. On the other hand, those gamblers of inferior status wouldn’t dare to secretly take the unowned chips of Little Atlantis City even though they were greedy.
Of course, the reason Tony didn’t withhold Lucas’s chips was naturally that he wanted to maintain his poise in front of the two beautiful women, Lena and Cheyenne. Furthermore, he firmly believed that no matter how many chips Lucas had, they would all become his in a while.
In that case, why should he be a villain in vain?
After they placed their chips on the table, the game officially began.
The beautiful dealer stood in front of the table with a brand new deck of playing cards, as well as two dice cups and a few dice.
“Gentlemen, the first round is about to officially begin. Which gambling equipment would you like to use?” the dealer asked in a sweet and tender voice.
“We’ll use the cards first,” Tony instructed.
The dealer moved swiftly and quickly unpacked the deck of cards. She then skillfully shuffled them once before dealing a card in front of Lucas and Tony respectively.
Of course, both cards were facing down, so neither of them knew what the other’s card was.
“Gentleman, please place your bets,” the dealer said with a professional smile.
Without hesitation, Lucas pushed all of the chips, which were worth more than three million dollars, forward.
The people in the private room immediately gasped and inhaled sharply.
The people in Little Atlantis City had seen wealthy and generous people before. But those who would place a bet of more than three million dollars at once without even batting an eyelid were extremely rare!
If he wasn’t being reckless, then he was definitely incredibly wealthy!
After all, in most gambling games, luck was an important factor. Especially in this game with such simple rules and didn’t involve any gambling techniques, the players had to rely solely on luck!
Tony’s expression also changed drastically as a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
He had heard from his subordinates that the masked man had suddenly appeared in Little Atlantis City. This man was extremely ostentatious and liberal with his money, as he had exchanged three million dollars worth of chips in one go.
Tony knew that Lucas should be a wealthy man, but even he had to admit that betting three million dollars in one go was extremely extravagant.
“Are you sure you want to bet three million all at once?” Tony stared at Lucas in the eye, seemingly questioning his choice.
Lucas leaned back in his chair and deliberately said with derision, “Yes. Why? Mr. Zander, do you not dare to call a bet of three million?”
Tony sneered. “Hmph, it’s just three million. I can still afford to call it!”
Then he pushed out a large part of the neatly arranged pile of chips in front of him. “I’m calling! Three million!”
Since they had both placed their bets, it was time to turn over the cards.
Lucas turned over the card in front of him right away without even looking at it.
Everyone looked over and saw that Lucas’s card was a four of spades!
“Hahahaha! It seems that you’re not that lucky this round! You’re going to lose!” Tony guffawed gloatingly.
In a game where the higher card won, getting a low card was truly unfortunate!
Cheyenne frowned and bit her lower lip tightly.
But Lucas remained unfazed, still looking as nonchalant as ever. “Is that so? Your card might be lower than mine, Mr. Zander. Who knows?”
