197 High Risk and High Return
As the dealer’s voice fell, more than 20 of the 30 seats started betting. Shan Yue also took a seat. Seeing the strength of the banker’s hand, she quickly placed all the money in her hand on number ten.
As the dealer loosened his grip, the bead also bounced out. After a series of bumps on the wheel, it finally landed on the wheel.
“It’s number ten.” The dealer smiled. “This lady wins alone.”
Everyone sighed at their bad luck.
In the next two rounds, Shan Yue accurately calculated the position of the bead. The chips in her hand had already changed from the initial one million to 85 million. This could not help but make some people jealous.
Shan Yue’s excellent luck attracted the attention of the people behind the casino. The few people sitting behind the surveillance cameras questioned one after another, not believing that anyone could be so lucky.
“Let’s report this to the manager.”
The person beside him nodded. “I agree.”
A few minutes after everyone’s discussion, the manager also stood in front of the surveillance camera. After watching all the surveillance cameras from the moment Shan Yue entered the venue until now, he frowned slightly. “Invite her to my office. I want to see if she really has the strength.”
Just as Shan Yue was about to move on to the next game, two bodyguards blocked her way. “I’m sorry, Miss. It’s rare for anyone to be as lucky as you in our scene. Our manager wants to see you.”
Shan Yue certainly understood what this meant. Her winning too quickly would definitely touch the interests of the casino.
However, she readily agreed to the two of them. After all, if she didn’t agree, what awaited her was to be forcefully invited upstairs by two bodyguards. Although she could defeat them, it wasn’t a very wise choice to attack in such a place.
Following the two bodyguards to the second floor, a door with the manager’s office sign hanging on it opened. A man in a suit was sitting in his seat. The manager smiled when he saw her, his eyes revealing cunning and calculation, but his tone was very polite. “Hello, Miss. I’m the manager here, I saw that you’re so lucky and wanted to spar with you.”
Shan Yue knew that those who could do this were wolves in sheep’s clothing. She was very calm. “May I ask what kind of gambling method the manager wants?”
“It’s very simple.” The manager casually took out a deck of cards. “Let’s play the simplest blackjack in the casino. I think Miss has won a lot. I’ll calculate according to your 100 million chips. If you win against me, you can leave here safely with 200 million. If you lose, you have to pay me 100 million to leave.”
“100 million?” Shan Yue’s eyebrows faded, and her eyes were long and deep. “100 million is too little. If you want to play, let’s play a billion. If I win, I’ll leave with a billion. If I lose, I’ll give you another 900 million.”
When Shan Yue saw the manager’s face change very subtly, she knew that he was hesitating.
“It’s fine if the manager doesn’t dare.” Shan Yue’s words were mocking. “I’m not someone who makes things difficult for others.”
With that, Shan Yue stood up and prepared to leave.
“Wait.” The expression on the manager’s face slowly turned cold. His eyes were fixed on Shan Yue. “Let’s play a billion yuan, but I hope that Miss can take out the 900 million yuan after losing. Otherwise…” He didn’t say the rest, but everything was unspoken.
Shan Yue smiled and made a “please” gesture. “Of course. Let’s begin.”
In order to ensure fairness between the two sides, the security guard casually found an unrelated guest to deal the cards. As their first cards were lit up on the table, the manager had a nine in front of him, and Shan Yue had a three.
The second cards were all covered. Only they could see their own cards. After both sides flipped over the cards, the manager’s was a four, and Shan Yue’s was a seven.
Without a doubt, both sides were not satisfied with the cards in their hands and called out for the third round.
When the card was handed to Shan Yue, she did not show any hesitation. She flipped the cards and threw them on the table. It seemed that sometimes luck was also a part of strength. Luck still took good care of Shan Yue. The third card that was flipped was a ten. This way, the sum of the three cards on Shan Yue’s card was twenty points.
In the end, Shan Yue chose to stop and looked at the manager with a cold smile.
