In front of the gambling table, ten minutes had passed, and Chou Ping was getting impatient. On the other side, several staff members were meticulously counting the chips, almost wanting to smash each chip into pieces while counting.
"Hey, guys, how much longer do you need to count? Do you want me to help?" Chou Ping offered, but the staff quickly shook their heads.
"Sir, we sincerely apologize for keeping you waiting. However, the amount involved in this bet is enormous, and we must handle it with caution. We apologize once again," one staff member said.
The staff members were quite helpless. Despite their years in the casino, the amount of a few hundred thousand chips was not that much for them. They could estimate the total at a glance.
However, they had to pretend to be ignorant and count repeatedly because they were not prepared for such a sudden situation.
Not only them, but the entire casino seemed unprepared for such an unexpected event.
Situations involving winning or losing millions at once usually occurred in the VIP area.
In the regular area, like the dice zone, they could hardly imagine someone boldly betting nearly a million dollars on a single point.
Chou Ping sneered inwardly, feeling a strong disdain. He couldn't believe these individuals, who made a living by gambling, couldn't count chips properly.
However, it was someone else's territory, and he couldn't push too hard, so he continued to wait.
By now, over a hundred people had gathered around the gambling table, forming a circle. People whispered to each other, some envious of Chou Ping, some jealous, and even some half-jokingly discussing the idea of robbing him.
Of course, there were also complaints about the efficiency of the staff.
"Have you finished counting? Are you trying to avoid paying? We didn't see you moving so slowly when collecting money!"
"Yeah, if you can't handle it, call the girl at the front desk. Every time she exchanges chips for me, it takes less than a minute!"
Laughter erupted, and the staff members lowered their heads even more. At this point, they felt utterly embarrassed.
However, no orders came from above, and even if they wanted to expedite the payout, there wasn't that much money available.
Suddenly, a commotion from behind drew everyone's attention.
The crowd split to create a path, and a woman with long, purple wavy hair, dressed in a red and revealing outfit, entered with alluring movements.
Seeing this beauty, Chou Ping's eyes lit up, and he felt his heartbeat quicken.
This woman might not fit everyone's idea of a perfect wife, but in the presence of a potential lover, there were likely few men who could resist her.
Gulp!
Chou Ping gulped down a mouthful of saliva; indeed, money had a way of attracting unexpected encounters. His winnings weren't in his possession yet, but a woman had already presented herself.
This woman with alluring curves could undoubtedly make the remaining time in his life both fulfilling and enjoyable. However, before Chou Ping could initiate a conversation, a group of burly men in black suits and sunglasses appeared behind the woman, exuding a formidable and menacing aura.
Chou Ping squinted. Could it be that the casino didn't want to pay, and they intended to harm him?
In the past, even if he won millions, for the sake of his life, Chou Ping would have chosen to take a loss silently. After all, he would only reset in a few days. Realizing this, Chou Ping had no fear at all.
Instead, he became curious about what the other party was up to. In the woman's eyes, a momentary desire was visible, and in the faces of the casino's enforcers behind her, there was genuine wariness.
However, these emotions on the woman's face lasted no more than three seconds. At this moment, he sat there as if nothing had happened, seemingly indifferent.
Was he not afraid that she was here to cause trouble? Or had he planned it all in advance, aiming to win this money today and securing a way out? That would require a remarkably steady mindset.
Even after so many years in the casino, Kunqitina considered herself experienced. However, putting herself in the other's shoes, she knew she wouldn't be as calm in such a situation.
That composure, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, made him look like a bystander. Of course, Kunqitina, pushed forward to deal with this tricky situation at this moment, was no ordinary person either.
Quickly adjusting her mindset, Kunqitina approached with a slight bow, speaking in a charming and gentle tone, "Sir, first of all, on behalf of our staff, I apologize for the neglect you have experienced..."
Chou Ping didn't hide his gaze, staring directly at her deep and snowy cleavage. "Given your beauty, I seem to have no reason to refuse the apology."
Kunqitina was momentarily stunned. Could this man still dare to flirt with her in this situation?
"Thank you for your praise. You have placed a total bet of nine hundred and seventy-two thousand, with odds of eighteen. We should pay you one million seven hundred and forty-nine thousand six hundred." Kunqitina said, waving her hand. The enforcers behind her immediately split into two columns, and following them were female servers carrying trays.
Each of these servers had outstanding looks, and their trays were even more enticing, neatly stacked with piles of chips. All the chips were purple, ten in a stack, and there were ten stacks on each tray. Obviously, one tray equaled ten million in chips.
Seeing this scene, many people's eyes turned red, wishing they could claim it all for themselves.
Of course, these were just wishful thoughts. If anyone dared to take action, those menacing enforcers would undoubtedly let them taste the fists and soles of their shoes.
"Sir, these chips are all yours. Due to tax issues, it will take some time to exchange them for cash. I would like to invite you to the VIP area, where we have prepared a private room for you during this period," Kunqitina explained.
Chou Ping frowned his brow. Could it be an attempt to lure him to a less crowded place to silence him?
Seeing Chou Ping's expression, Kunqitina revealed a charming smile. "Of course, you will receive the highest level of service there. During this time, both I and these ladies behind me will be at your disposal. If you have any special preferences, these robust men..."
Chou Ping quickly waved his hand. "Stop, I don't have those peculiar tastes. But your earlier words did make me tempted."
Kunqitina smiled slightly, walked forward, and extended her hand. Chou Ping stood up, and Kunqitina timely held his arm, leaning gently against him. At this moment, the two appeared like an intimate couple, showing affection in public.
