"Is this boy normal?!"
"Does he think the green is easy to come by as picking a leaf that could be found everywhere?!"
"What the f*ck that's $288 he is wasting there?!"
Everybody there began to speak at the same time.
They all thought Ye Qiu had gone crazy due to greed.
Even Huizhong who had been crazy and greedy by the gain they had gotten felt that Li Yu would be going too far if he placed the whole $288 on green again.
"How is it possible for the ball to stop on green color again?!"
"Big brother, didn't you say you only wanted to place a bet once, this is the third time, you know?"
Zhalan also tried to convince Li Yu to stop so that he wouldn't lose the money he had won.
Li Yu looked at everyone stunned but decided to keep quiet. He also thought he had gone crazy. He knew better than everyone, thanks to his memory that the ball stopping on the green is harder to come by than ascending to heaven.
But what would he do when the boss, his brain told him that's what would happen.
"Are you sure you want to put the whole money on green?!"
Even the dealer felt that Li Yu was being too greedy, she asked again to confirm his thought.
"I'm sure." Li Yu nodded his head hurriedly and quickly gave the whole money he had won to the dealer, save for the few cents on top.
Everybody apart from Zhalan, Huizhong, and the dealer mocked Li Yu for being stupid, crazy, and greedy.
"This is truly the epitome of greediness."
They all thought.
In no time, everybody had finished placing their bets, and no one apart from Li Yi placed a bet on the ball stopping on green.
They all felt that it was highly impossible.
Everyone stared unblinkingly at the roulette while shouting for it to stop once it reaches the number they bet on.
"HOLY GODDAMNED, HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!" someone suddenly shouted, while the rest were in shock when the roulette stopped rolling.
They all felt that they were seeing an illusion.
"THIS IS NOT REAL, RIGHT?!" Another person asked in shock.
"What- what. Is- is that boy like- like using a spell?!"
"This has never happened before, ever since I've been playing roulette game..."
"What a lucky bastard."
"Damn!!! I would have placed all my life on it if I knew that what the brat picked would be realized."
Everybody began to exclaim in shock, anger, envy, and jealousy.
"F*CK WE JUST WON $10,000 PLUS." Huizhong suddenly shouted so loudly that it felt like he used a sound system, to the extent that every single person in the betting shop heard him.
"What- what did I just hear?! Someone won 10,000 dollars?! How is that possible?!"
Everybody in the betting shop immediately stopped what they were doing and traced the place the loud sound came from.
"Little brother, you just said you won $10,000, how is that possible?!" Someone asked the stunned Huizhong but was too engrossed in his happiness at the moment to register he was being talked to.
"Is what that fatty said real?!" Someone asked the crowd that was there initially.
"Yes, he is f*cking right."
"How is that possible, how much does he stake to be able to win $10,000"
"No! No!! You are mistaken here he is not the one that won the money, it is that handsome boy beside him that does."
Everybody turned to look at the calm Li Yu and couldn't but be lost for words.
"How can someone that won that huge amount of money be so calm."
"He must have staked at least $5,000 to win that money, right?"
"No- no, that's where the problem is, he actually began with a little bit more than seven dollars. He placed his bet on greens twice and won both times."
"F*ck!!! How is that possible, isn't that luck a tad bit too good to be true."
"F*ck your mother, how dare you say I was lying.? You can ask anybody present."
"Hold on a second, isn't he the boy that just left our roulette stand, he also placed two cents on green and won seven dollars and something cent."
Someone suddenly pointed out.
"That's true! I remember him now."
"F*ck!!! So what you're all saying is that this brat here won $10,000 with only 2 cents?! Do you think we're so stupid to believe that?!"
"You can just go to hell if you don't believe us, do you think everyone here would be lying?!"
"F*ck!!! What sort of great luck is this!!! Why can't I also have this sort of great l*ck!!!"
Li Yu's surroundings could only be described in three words at the moment; 'Noisy, crowded, and messy."
…..
Inside a wide office located at the back of the casino's shop.
"blacky!!! Do you realize we only have one month left to find a king-level gambler, or else we might say goodbye to this town a month from now?"
"Boss, we've gone everywhere, searching high and low for someone that would be able to place face to face with the other part's gambler, but they were always scared off every time they heard who they would be playing against."
"F*ck!!!" The man being addressed, an elderly man dressed in a white suit and white hat violently hurled the wine cup in his hand against the wall while heaving furiously.
The person being addressed as blacky even though he's a white Asian man was a tall and muscular man with a bald head. Blacky stood respectfully slightly behind his boss with a straight face, afraid to make a sound.
"Blacky, do you know the implications of losing this bet?" The elderly man said almost inaudible when he had finally calmed down.
"Boss, I know too well what would happen, we would lose this place, the rest of the casinos, and the club we controlled if we lose the bet."
"Great that you know, so please, with everything you have, try to look for a great gambler for us. I don't care where and how you found the person before the time due, please."
The old man was literally begging the bald guy at the moment, with a face filled with self-pity.
"Boss, I promise with everything I have in this life, we would definitely find someone that would win this bet for us."
The baldheaded man promised seriously.
"Knock… knock…"
Someone suddenly knocked on the entrance door, giving the two that were lost in thought a great scare.
"Who the hell is knocking on the door like an animal?" The baldheaded man walked to the door and bellowed angrily.
"Boss- boss!! I- I!!"
The person that knocked on the door, a lean man was so scared speechlessly when he heard how furious his boss was, he never expected to receive an insult for knocking on the door.
His leg began to shake in fear that he had come at the wrong time.
The lean man began to pray that he had not offended the boss since he knows what would happen to him if he had.
"You know what would happen if what you disturbed us for is not worth it."
Blacky said as he beckoned for the scared man to come in.
"Good- Good day big boss." He greeted the elderly man with a bowed head.
He was shocked to see the big boss here.
This elderly man was the underground father of Shanghai.
"You boy, say what you're here for," Blacky said coldly.
"Boss- boss, there was a boy here that- that just won $10,944."
"And!!!!"
Blacky became mad that this bastard had dared to disturb him and his boss because of a measly $10,000, how dare him
His expression suddenly became cold that the lean man became to shake.
"Bo- boss- he- he won the money with only two cents."
"What do you just said?!"
The elderly man suddenly flee from his seat and rushed to the lean man, scaring the hell out of the man.
"Big- big boss- boss, i- I said- said…"
"Why are you stammering, would I eat you?!" The elderly man was getting mad at the guy that was shaking like a tree that was being blown by wind at the moment.
"Why is he acting like a woman?" He thought angrily.
"I'm- I'm sorry boss, I won't stammer anymore." The lean man that was scared and speechless at the moment with shaky legs could barely control himself anymore, he quickly apologized while trying his best to speak like a normal person and get away from these two devils as soon as possible.
"Blacky, serve him some tea please so that he could get his voice together."
The elderly man said dismissively as he went back to his seat, he also knew that he seemed to know he had overreacted and scared the poor guy.
"There- there is no need for that big bo- boss."
"Just sit down, since boss said I should prepare tea for you, sit down and wait for it.
Not wanting to offend the boss anymore, the lean man sat while shivering. He felt he might pee at this moment as his bladder had already been filled up due to the scare he had received.
He just had to keep it in.
"Take." In no time, Blacky pushed a tea mug that was letting out a nice aroma and steam to the lean man.
"You can start speaking now." The elderly man said after the lean man had taken a sip from the cup and calmed down a bit.
"Yes- Yes big boss. This is what happened sir," The man began to explain everything he understood about how Li Yu had won.
Blacky and the elderly man kept quiet all through when the lean guy was speaking, the only thing they were doing was exchanging glances.
"Is that all?!" the old man suddenly felt disappointed when the lean guy stopped talking. He realized that Li Yu had only won due to luck.
As if remembering something, blacky suddenly picked up the long remote control atop the huge desk in the office.
Turning to a big black and white television that looked like a box, blacky pressed a button from the remote.
"What time does what you just said occur?!"
"It occurred just before I came here and began 2 hours ago."
"great."
Blacky began pressing the remote control and only stopped at a scene when Li Yu and co got to the first roulette.
They all began to watch the things that happened, scene after scene.
After watching it till Li Yu won, Blacky switched off the television.
"Blacky, do you think that's luck?!"
"Boss, with the expressions on his face and how that boy acted, I don't think what happened was luck, I think he more or less knew everything he was doing."
"Great that you know."
"Boss, should I bring him to see you?"
