More Silence....
The young dealer, those that were engrossed in watching their match and Huizhong couldn't help but turn to look at Li Yu in shock and wonder when they heard what he said, they couldn't help but think they'd misheard what Li Yu said.
"Oh…. You want to bet 6 scores for the away team and 4 scores for the home team?"
The Dealer asked what everyone thought they heard, and still they felt it was highly an impossible task for such high scores to still come.
Li Yu hurriedly shook his head when he heard what the dealer said.
"No, no. You are mistaken, I said I want to bet 6 scores for the HOME team and 4 scores for the AWAY team."
Although Li Yu knew that everybody might see him as a madman, he have no choice but to do what he needed to do.
And as expected, when they realized that what they heard initially was what Li Yu said, they couldn't help but open their mouth and look at Li Yu in shock.
"Well… maybe he wants to try his luck with little money."
Someone suddenly muttered softly and everybody nodded their heads, thinking; "another brat that does not know the immensely huge difference between heaven and earth.
The dealer shook his head gently.
"How much would you like to bet sire?!"
"1,000 dollars."
"1 dolla-, Wait, what?"
The dealer and those that heard what Li Yu's said suddenly turned to look at Li Yu in shock.
Their minds suddenly went blank for a moment, and they couldn't extricate themselves for a long while.
Finally, someone exclaimed in shock.
"That boy must be a rich second-generation brat that does not know what to do with money."
"That should be true."
Everybody felt that what they thought should be the only explanation for why Li Yu would fork out a whole ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS for a game that has a 99.999% of losing.
Li Yu understood what everyone, including the dealer, was thinking, but could he say he has a gift that would allow him to know the outcome of every match, game, and bet?
"You need to hurry."
Li Yu said when he looked back at the screen and saw that it was nearing the time the home score would start retaliating.
"Oh, okay. $1,000 right?!"
The dealer asked again to confirm he had not misheard the amount Li Yu had called.
"Yep, 1,000 dollars."
Li Yu forked out the $1,000 neat note from his pants pocket and gave it to the still stunned dealer.
Huizhong who was at the side was too shocked at the moment to say a word.
Even he who knew only little things concerning football realized that the score Li Yu wanted to bet on would be highly unlikely to be realized.
Huizhong began to regret why he allowed his bro to come here in the first place.
He began saying goodbye to all the things he had been dreaming of buying since yesterday.
In no time, the dealer finished placing the bets and gave Li Yu the print out which will act as proof that Li Yu had placed the bet.
Li Yu couldn't help but look blankly at the potential wins in shock.
"$1,000,000"
Even he felt that this potential winning seems too huge to be true.
Li Yu gave Huizhong whose face was covered in shock and disappointment a blank look.
He knew what his brother was thinking, but couldn't explain things to him.
"You would realize your brother is a GOAT soon."
Li Yu thought silently.
(Author's note.
GOAT is an acronym for Greatest of All Time.)
Li Yu looked away from Huizhong and looked at the television near him.
The away team was currently overwhelming the home team so much.
If not that Li Yu had tested and trusted his memory, he would have thought his memory was f*cking with him.
Li Yi dragged Huizhong to sit on a wide wooden chair that only contained two people at the moment.
A man with a black hat on his head and a dark shade on his face, he kind of looks scary. Beside him sat a lean man who was currently seating uncomfortably, as It was as if he was seating on needles. The lean man looked like a servant of that man with a hat on his.
Li Yu faced the man with a hat on his head.
"Can we seat beside you sire?!"
"My pleasure."
The man looked at Li Yu deeply for a while and waved for him to sit.
Li Yu dragged Huizhong to the other end of the chair and sat down, watching the television opposite him.
Li Yu began to feel bored after watching for like 2 – 3 minutes.
"I still do not understand what's so interesting in people watching 2 groups of people running after a piece of a small object."
Li Yu thought quietly.
Li Yu could remember how his colleagues in his past life would talk about football animatedly for hours, even going as far as to fight amongst themselves sometimes.
They would be discussing football as if they were discussing something that would take them to heaven or would make the rich.
Li Yu began to doze off, and suddenly, Li Yu was woken up by a group of people shouting happily in unison.
"GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Li Yu hurriedly turned to look at the television screen, he realized that it was the team he wagered on that scored.
"Few more to go…"
Not surprised at all, Li Yu was about to close his eyes and nap again when Huizhong, who had been staring unblinkingly at the screen suddenly jumped at him.
Feeling the incoming force, Li Yu subconsciously rolled to the side, and boom, Huizhong crashed heavily against the chair.
As if not feeling the pain, Huizhong exclaimed happily to Li Yu.
"We've just scored Yu bro!!!"
Huizhong's happiness was even more than the players that scored the goal.
Huizhong began to punch the space happily as if he had won a huge amount of money, he had totally forgotten that there are still more scores to come before they win.
Li Yu shook his head in embarrassment.
He looked apologetic at the man seated beside them.
Feeling Li Yu's apologetic smile, Blacky waved his arm at Li Yu dismissively, as if telling him not to worry.
Suddenly, another "GOAL!!!!!!!!"
LI Yu turned to look at the screen again, he realized that the home team had scored again.
This time around, Huizhong was about to go crazy.
Huizhong began jumping around the betting house in happiness. If not that there were a lot of people jubilating at the moment, they would have thought Li Yu was crazy.
Another; "GOAL!!!!"
Those that wagered for the away to win had begun to fear deep fear at this moment, they couldn't understand how a team would be beating another back go back like this, within a few minutes for the matter of fact.
The team that had only been with one lucky score from that start is now reconciling like crazy.
The home team and away team are now drawing.
Blacky couldn't help but look at the calm Li Yu in shock.
"Does he have something he uses to predict score?! Or was it his analyzing skill that was that great?!"
Blacky was so confused now, he felt that if what Li Yu predicted would be right, then with everything he have, they must obtain Li Yu.
At this moment, he does not care about losing a measly one million dollars, he even began to pray that Li Yu would win.
What is one million dollars if Li Yu won?! They could even afford to lose tens of millions of dollars.
After Huizhong had calmed down enough, he began to pray with everything he had for the remaining two goals to come.
Everybody watching the match was already filled with goosebumps and some with anticipation s as they stared unblinkingly at the televisions.
Each person began hoping that the team they wagered on to score even if it was one goal.
The home team was currently at the away team goal post which was currently tightly defended by the away team players.
Those that are dumb would even be able to tell that there is no hope at all for the home team to score as the place was too tightly defended with not a single loophole.
When the man that was currently with the ball saw that there is no hope for him to score, he decided to waste the ball now and wait for another opportunity later.
The man kicked the ball with all his foot's strength when he was quite some distance away from the goalkeeper.
And suddenly, the ball that was being shot flew high, it seemed the ball would definitely shoot past the goalpost.
Everybody had given up on that ball since there was no hope at all for it to score.
The ball that was flying a few feet away from the goalpost suddenly changed direction, and pew, it shot into the goalpost.
Silence….
Everywhere suddenly became silent, the field, the casino, the commentators, even the player that kicked the ball.
"F*ck!!!! How is that possible?!"
Someone suddenly shouted from the casino house.
"Wow!!! What an amazing shot, Gredo just scored an amazing goal. This would certainly become history," the commentator said in amazement.
All the teams and those that supported the home team began to jubilate endlessly at the moment, it felt so impossible.
Huizhong shouted like someone that had been possessed.
"One more score please!!!"
Everybody began to talk animatedly at the impossible score.
People had forgotten about bet or no bet at this moment, they were currently filled with goosebumps.
It only remains only two minutes before the match ends.
After everybody had finished jubilating or mourning, the referee blow his whistle for the match to continue.
As the keeper passed the ball to a player before him, not expecting that the player would pass the ball back to him, the keeper looked away and got into a defensive position to save any ball shot by the opposition party.
And pui, the player passed the ball back to the keeper that wasn't in the position to receive the ball, and something funny happened… the ball entered the net.
"Awn!!! What the f*ck was that- that a home goal?!"
