Chapter 1162 Once you're at the gambling table, even the best of friends become enemies.
Xiao Dao's lips trembled as he pulled two knives from his pocket and rushed into the bedroom. Da Bao grabbed him, and Xiao Dao pointed to the bedroom and whispered.
"Master, how could there be a tiger? The two young ladies are still inside."
Da Bao patted him, turned around and sat down on the sofa, saying casually.
“These are my three pets. They won’t hurt anyone unless someone is blind and tries to harm the children.”
Da Bao snapped his fingers lightly, and the little tiger jumped up and quickly walked out of the bedroom to Da Bao's side. The big tiger head was placed under Da Bao's hand, and Da Bao stroked the tiger a couple of times. The little tiger squinted its eyes, looking like it was enjoying it.
Xiao Dao was relieved, but instinctively he still gripped the knife tightly, remaining cautiously on guard.
Little Liu was only eleven, but he was incredibly bold. He sneaked up behind the tiger and gently poked its rump with his finger. The tiger ignored him, just swished its tail and lightly flicked Little Liu's tail.
What completely put everyone at ease was when Zuo Mingyue returned carrying Niu Niu, placed her in Da Bao's arms, and Niu Niu kissed her brother before struggling to get down. Her eyes remained closed the entire time as she groped her way onto the tiger's head.
The tiger then stood up gently and took small steps back to the bedroom. It carried Niu Niu on its back, and as soon as it entered the bedroom, the little white wolf kicked the bedroom door shut.
This series of actions completely blew Xiao Dao and his gang's eyes out.
At this moment, Blind Liu walked in. Now that he was well-fed, warmly dressed, and properly nutritious, Blind Liu had grown a little taller. He respectfully knelt down on one knee before Da Bao. He dared not call him master; he was not qualified.
"Boss, those foreigners are back again. They've already won 800,000 in less than an hour. Judging from their behavior today, they're planning to make a killing and then leave."
Da Bao helped Zuo Mingyue stand up. Looking at Zuo Mingyue's expectant eyes, he smiled and playfully pinched her nose.
"Let me show you around."
Xiao Dao and Blind Liu were overjoyed. They had been waiting for Ye Han to return to see if the foreigners were cheating, hoping to figure out how to deal with them. Now that their boss was here, there were no more problems.
……
Inside the casino, three foreign men sat at a betting table, surrounded by a crowd of gamblers. The gamblers were extremely excited; these three foreigners had won for seven consecutive days at the Scenic Hotel casino. Some gamblers who followed their bets had also won a considerable amount.
As a result, the betting tables were surrounded by gamblers wanting to bet against them. There was no way around it; they had to follow the lead of the casino's bettors.
The dealer's hands were trembling. He had lost thirteen rounds in a row, and he didn't know how to roll the dice next.
The gamblers shouted in unison.
"Shake it, shake it faster! I still want to place bets. I have to win as much as possible today."
Gamblers and casinos are always at odds. No matter how good friends are, once they sit at the gambling table, they become enemies. Winners are naturally happy, but losers react in all sorts of ways: crying, shouting, going crazy...
Da Bao helped Zuo Mingyue into the gambling hall, where Xiao Dao was explaining things to Zuo Mingyue.
"Mistress, this large gambling hall has a total of twenty-three gambling tables. The games include baccarat, dice, and blackjack. There is a VIP room in the back where you can play for higher stakes."
Xiao Dao's explanation was very simple. If you really wanted to explain casinos, it would probably take two hours to explain them clearly. But even so, Zuo Mingyue was still completely confused.
Da Bao smiled and explained softly to Zuo Mingyue. Zuo Mingyue was full of excitement. Although she was pregnant, she was only an eighteen-year-old girl. If this were in later times, she would still be a flower that would be spoiled in her mother's arms.
The dealer reluctantly picked up the dice cup and began shaking it up and down. Da Bao and Zuo Mingyue stood not far away watching. Da Bao's mind had already enveloped the entire gambling hall. He wanted to see if these three foreigners were cheaters or just winning by pure luck.
The dice cup was shaken, and the dice clattered inside, making a loud clattering sound. Zuo Mingyue was clever; as soon as Da Bao explained it to her, she understood what was happening.
This dice game is very simple, just three types: big, small, and three of a kind. Zuo Mingyue even took two steps forward and watched with great interest. Da Bao never expected that his little wife would have a bit of a gambling addiction, but it didn't matter, as long as she liked it.
In fact, Zuo Mingyue was just curious. As soon as she arrived in Haojiang, it was as if the air here was different from that in China. She felt that this place was more in tune with her, and even the breath she took was easy.
The dealer placed the dice cup on the gambling table, extended his right hand, and called out a command.
"Please place your bet!"
The three foreigners exchanged glances. The one in the middle picked up the chips first and placed them on the gambling table, which was covered with signs for "big/small" and "triple".
"One hundred thousand! Big!"
As the foreigner spoke broken Chinese, the other two foreigners also placed their chips on the "big" side, causing a stir among the gamblers behind. The gamblers in front quickly placed their chips on the "big" side as well, while the gamblers behind couldn't get close and were so anxious that they stomped their feet.
The dealer broke out in a cold sweat. This game could cost 500,000 in winnings or losses, and he simply couldn't bear that responsibility.
The gamblers shouted in unison.
"Open it up, hurry up and open it up! I'm going to win every last penny from your casino today."
Da Bao smiled slightly. The three foreigners were quite knowledgeable, especially the one in the middle, who could actually tell the numbers by listening to the dice. Listening to the dice meant that he could tell the numbers just by listening to the sound the dice made when they were shaken in the dice cup.
This is hardly a secret in later generations; it's been shown countless times in movies and TV series. People who listen to dice will have their ears twitching, and there are even people online who teach you how to listen to dice, because dice have six sides, each with a different number of dots, and each side makes a different sound when it falls.
Helpless, the dealer closed his eyes, stretched out his trembling hand, and slowly lifted the dice cup. The gamblers erupted in chaos, shouting and yelling.
"Four, five, six, fifteen is big."
"Pay back money, pay back money quickly."
The dealer opened his eyes, looked at the manipulator next to him (a person in the casino who knew how to cheat), gritted his teeth, and said something.
"Pay up! I'll play the next round."
The dealer paid out all the chips in detail and then stood aside.
An Deng grabbed the dice cup and tossed it into the air. The dice swirled and changed shape in the air, making a clattering sound to others, but the foreigner sitting in the middle kept his ears twitching.
The dice cup landed on the gambling table, and Darklight said something with a gloomy face.
"Please place your bet."
The three foreigners looked at each other and simultaneously pushed out 100,000 chips, which together amounted to 300,000.
"big!"
The gamblers kept betting, and in no time, the chips on the table exceeded 500,000...
