"No need to keep an eye on him anymore. Once he blows through the fifty million, he'll probably get out of this place," the man said flatly. He downed the high-intensity vodka in his crystal glass, then looked up with a chilling gaze."Every year, there's some arrogant fool who thinks he's got it all figured out. They always end up losing everything in one night and leaving with their tail between their legs. This guy won't be any different!"-"Seeing you're a newbie, how about starting with something simple? Perhaps something like Betting on Dice?" The Gambling Prodigy, Julius, grinned. However, his smile didn't reach his eyes.Betting on Dice was a simple game. Players placed their bets on whether the total value of the three dice would be "big" or "small". Big would mean a total value of between eleven and seventeen, while small would mean a total value of between four and ten. The Gambling King, Wesley, chuckled. "Betting on Dice? With a 50% chance, surely he won't lose
Wesley and Julius were seething with rage. Their eyes were bloodshot, and they were clearly furious. Even Sheldon sensed the long-absent hostility. He placed a hand on Frederick's shoulder, and said, "Buddy, you've already won a hundred and forty million. You also have the fifty million I gave you. You've earned close to two hundred million tonight. Listen to me, take this money and leave now. If you do that, you'll be the biggest winner. If you keep playing, your overnight riches could easily become nothing."Frederick smiled. "Mr. York, I know you're concerned about me. You're worried I might get carried away and lose it all. But I didn't come here to win money. I came here to play, and it's either I crush them or they crush me!"Upon hearing this, the people around him exchanged glances and silently distanced themselves from the gambling table."Ahem! We should call it a night!""You guys go on! When legends fight, us mortals shouldn't get involved!""That's right!"Wesley a
Julius heard the surrounding discussions, and smirked arrogantly. "I didn't want to be petty with a newcomer. But nowadays, some youngsters are too cocky. If you don't put them in their place, they forget where they belong!"Wesley chuckled. "Exactly! They should know their place and act accordingly. This is the price of overestimating oneself. Give him a bloody lesson he won't forget!""Five hundred million is enough for you to live for ten lives without lifting a finger! Hahaha!"Frederick shot them a sideways glance. "I haven't even revealed my tiles yet, but you two are already making a racket? Disgusting! You're irritating! Also, you're still acting cocky, huh? Isn't that what youngsters do?"Before the two could retort, Frederick revealed his tiles on the spot.In an instant, the smile on Julius's face froze.The spectators were shocked to the core. Their jaws dropped as they erupted into shouts of disbelief."That's...""Eighty!""There isn't a single big tile, but
His words were like a nuclear bomb detonating on a calm sea, causing a thousand layers of waves to rise.Everyone was shocked."Did I hear that right? He wants to take on the entire Nova Star single-handedly?""Challenging the Gambling King and Gambling Prodigy was mind-blowing enough as it is! But that was just the appetizer. His target is the entire casino!""He must be a gambling legend from out of town!"Sheldon wasn't as surprised. From the previous gambling match, he had already seen that Frederick was hiding a great potential.Frederick had waited for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow. So, it wasn't surprising that he aimed for Nova Star!The dealer stood dumbfounded, unable to utter a word. "I need to report this to our boss!"After two minutes, the lobby manager approached Frederick with a smile. "Mr. Lester, our boss heard about your recent gambling match. It was truly magnificent. He specifically asked me to give you three hundred million in cash as a farewell
After hesitating for just half a second, she instantly realized what she was thinking and scoffed. "Nonsense! That jerk went on a date! What danger could he be in? Do I need to worry about him? Besides, what is he to me? He's just a fake husband! Why should I care about his well-being?"Though she said this, Jennifer pondered for a moment. "But after all, he's still my subordinate. I do have an obligation to care about the condition of my employees."-At Nova Star, Frederick rejected Jennifer's incoming call.Why did the ice queen suddenly call him? How weird! He didn't want any distractions right before the big battle. So, he decided to call her back later.Three minutes later, a middle-aged man arrived. He had a cigar in his mouth and was wearing a mink coat. A large group of men in black surrounded him as they arrived in a flurry."Hello, Mr. Lester. I'm Lucas Campbell, owner of Nova Star," Lucas said. "This is a check for five hundred million. You also have my respec
As soon as Frederick finished speaking, the whole place seemed to explode with tension.Simon's lips twitched. His eyes were filled with contempt, and he ground his teeth audibly. "I want your head as the wager. If I win, I'll mount your skull on my toilet seat!"Frederick shrugged nonchalantly. "You can turn my skull to dust for all I care. After all, dreams are limitless!"Simon was furious. But before he could erupt, Lucas interrupted, "Simon, stop wasting your breath. As hosts, we set the rules for this gamble. Let's keep it simple. We'll play Betting on Dice! Whoever rolls the smallest number wins!"At this, Simon instantly cooled down. He sneered. "Fine! Let's make it quick. I can't wait to rip his head off!""Not so fast!" Despite claiming neutrality, Sheldon couldn't help but give Frederick a warning. "Frederick, I won't intervene. But I must remind you, Simon's skills are extraordinary, especially with dice. He can conjure any combination at will. Betting on this ga
"Yes, sir!"The backstage technicians entered a string of code, and Frederick's three ones instantly transformed into two fives and a six. With that done, Lucas lifted his head with a confident smile."Alright, now let's have both sides reveal their dice numbers. Mr. Lester, as the challenger, you go first!"In an instant, all eyes were on Frederick. The crowd eagerly anticipated what surprises this mysterious gambling legend might bring."Sure, I'll go first."Frederick calmly lifted the lid of his cup, revealing the result that shocked everyone."Five, five, six!"The crowd erupted into disbelief. No one expected this outcome."I thought it would be at least three twos or lower!""Who would've thought it would be the second highest combination?""Tsk! What kind of mysterious gambling legend is this? Seems like it was all just empty boasting! Him beating the Gambling Prodigy was just a fluke!""He's in for trouble now! Nova Star won't let him leave here alive!"Seeing th
This scene sent shockwaves through the hearts of everyone present, leaving them reeling.Frederick stared straight at Lucas with a sharp gaze. "Didn't I already say? Anything is possible at the gambling table. And now, you're the loser!"Meanwhile, Lucas was petrified. He shouted in disbelief, "How is this possible?! I clearly saw two twos and one one!"As he spoke, Sheldon stood up angrily. He thundered, "Lucas, you're showing your true colors now, huh? And you still dare to say you didn't cheat!"Lucas glared at Frederick accusingly. "You did this! It must have been you!"Frederick chuckled. "Evil begets evil. Did you think I couldn't see what you did behind the scenes? But then I thought, if I exposed your cheating directly, you wouldn't admit it. So I chose another way. I wanted you to know that compared to your tricks, I'm far superior!"The moment Simon revealed the dice, Frederick used his powerful inner aura to manipulate the dice into three sixes. His aura manipulation w
