Yu Haiming piled all the silver he had won into the betting area, making Wei Dongling, who was standing beside him, feel extremely nervous.
The banker shouted, "Is there anyone else who wants to place a bet?" Two more onlookers stepped forward and placed their silver.
"Your bets are final! No more changes!" The banker roared. Under everyone's intense gazes, he lifted the dice cup.
It was a small number again!
The reckless gamblers who had bet on the large number just now were so angry that they pounded the table.
Wei Dongling was overjoyed. There were at least ten thousand taels of silver in this glittering pile! Just as she was about to reach out to grab it, Yu Haiming beside her simply lifted the bottom of his robe and poured all the silver they had won on the table into it.
A junior staff member patrolling the area saw what was going on here and rushed out in a hurry.
The banker shook the dice cup again and invited everyone to place their bets.
Wang Linfeng looked up at Luo Xunlong and whispered, "Brother! Should we bet on the large or the small this time?"
Luo Xunlong glanced at the banker, covered his lips and said to Wang Linfeng, "Brother Wang, you can follow the banker's bet first. I'll just observe for a while."
The lean middle - aged man sitting as the banker saw that Luo Xunlong and his companions didn't seem to want to bet. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "You two brothers won't play anymore after winning some money? That doesn't seem right."
This remark made everyone on the scene look over.
Luo Xunlong rubbed his nose and smiled, "Not at all. We just think the stakes are a bit too small. It's not much fun."
As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions changed. In this underground gambling house, there were people who could win or lose millions of taels in one night! How dare these young people think the stakes were too small? They were so ignorant!
The banker didn't get angry but instead laughed. He called to the junior staff beside him, "Please invite these gentlemen to the second floor and make sure they enjoy themselves."
"Yes!" The junior staff came to lead the way and took them to the second floor.
Wei Dongling and the other three followed the man to the second floor.
In the spacious main hall, there was a gambling table. There were only a few gamblers sitting there, each with a large pile of gold bricks and silver notes in front of them.
The candlelight flickered. Wei Dongling looked at the dazzling gold bricks and silver notes on the table and couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
The junior staff leading the way kindly reminded them, "Gentlemen, the minimum bet here is ten thousand taels."
Ten thousand taels as the minimum bet?
Wei Dongling glanced at the silver in Yu Haiming's robe and thought to herself, How many rounds can this silver last?
Luo Xunlong didn't seem to care at all. He led the group and directly sat down in the seats beside the banker.
The banker was a middle - aged man with a hooked nose and graying temples. He had prominent cheekbones and a rather harsh - looking face. He smiled warmly at Luo Xunlong and said in a loud voice, "Welcome, gentlemen. I hope you will have a great time here!" He pointed at the dice cup with his palm, indicating for Luo Xunlong and the others to place their bets.
Luo Xunlong saw that the banker had bet on the large number. He smiled and motioned for Yu Haiming to bet on the small number.
Yu Haiming behind him didn't hesitate. He poured out all the silver in his robe and piled it on the small - number side.
Most of the people who could come to the second floor to gamble brought gold ingots and large - denomination silver notes. These young people actually poured out a pile of broken silver when they came up. Did they think they could have a wild gambling spree here just because they had won a little silver downstairs? Everyone around the table looked over and showed sarcastic expressions.
Seeing Yu Haiming bet all the silver, Wei Dongling felt a bit flustered. Although they had been lucky enough to win the last two rounds, they couldn't be so reckless every round!
The banker glanced at the scattered silver of Luo Xunlong and the others but didn't mind. "Your bets are final. I'm going to open the dice cup." After saying that, the banker slowly lifted the dice cup.
As the dice cup was slowly lifted, Wei Dongling could clearly see that the three dice in the cup were showing small numbers. But the banker's hand was extremely skillful. When he lifted the cup, there was a gust of wind. The three dice that were originally showing small numbers flipped slightly and immediately showed large numbers.
The banker was actually cheating!
Wei Dongling was so anxious that she was sweating on her forehead. If they lost this round, they wouldn't even be able to get their principal back.
Luo Xunlong calmly made a fist with one hand as if he was about to cough. When his hand fell, he secretly slapped the gambling table. The three dice showing large numbers immediately bounced slightly and when they landed on the table, they showed small numbers again.
Wei Dongling was stunned by what had just happened.
The banker looked down at the numbers on the dice and his eyes changed slightly. He lifted his left sleeve and waved it. The dice flipped slightly with the swing of the long sleeve and became large numbers again.
All this happened so fast that the dice cup hadn't even been fully lifted, but the numbers on the dice had changed two or three times. Wei Dongling stared at them in disbelief.
Luo Xunlong lifted his right hand on the table and pretended to touch Cuilan's chin. The wind from his palm made the dice turn again, and the numbers changed back to small numbers.
The banker's dice cup had been fully lifted, and there was no time for him to make any more small moves.
It was all over.
Everyone at the table looked over. The three dice were showing small numbers. Their expressions were a bit annoyed, and their looks at Wei Dongling and the others became obviously harsher.
Yu Haiming simply ignored everyone's angry looks and happily collected the gold ingots they had won on the table.
The banker quickly shook the dice cup in his hand and pressed it on the gambling table. A smile appeared on his face as he said in a muffled voice, "Sir, you're really lucky. Please play another round."
Luo Xunlong didn't decline. He held Cuilan's delicate hand and smiled, "Cuilan, what do you think we should bet on?"
Cuilan covered her lips and smiled charmingly, "Let's bet on the large number this time."
Luo Xunlong smiled slightly, "Okay!" Yu Haiming quickly bet all their silver.
The banker scanned everyone and asked with a smile, "What do you all think?"
The few reckless gamblers sitting at the table took out a pile of gold ingots and gold bricks from behind and piled them on the small - number side.
The banker smiled slightly and waved to the junior staff to place their bets. The junior staff neatly placed six pairs of gold ingots on the table and bet them all on the small - number side.
The more than ten gold ingots made Wei Dongling's eyes dazzled.
"Your bets are final. I'm going to open the dice cup!" As soon as the words were out, the banker slowly lifted the dice cup in front of everyone.
The dice cup tilted, and the inside was slightly revealed. Wei Dongling stared wide - eyed. Through the gap between the dice cup and the table, she could clearly see that the dice were showing large numbers.
The banker glanced at the dice cup. His left little finger quickly brushed against the dice cup imperceptibly. The three dice turned slightly and immediately showed small numbers.
Seeing this, Luo Xunlong calmly slapped the table gently. The three dice bounced slightly and rotated, and the large - numbered side was about to land on the table.
The banker seemed to have been on guard. He immediately punched the table gently. The dice that were originally showing large numbers turned and became small numbers again.
Luo Xunlong kicked with his foot, and the dice bounced slightly and immediately became large numbers again.
In the blink of an eye, the banker pushed with his knee under the table, and the dice changed back to small numbers. In the midst of all this, he still managed to give Luo Xunlong a provocative look.
Luo Xunlong got angry. He suddenly exerted force with his foot, and the three dice jumped higher than the dice cup in full view of everyone.
With so many pairs of eyes watching, the banker couldn't make any more moves. When the dice slowly landed on the table, they showed large numbers.
Everyone's expressions changed instantly.
The banker slammed the dice cup in his hand on the table and pointed at Luo Xunlong's face, shouting, "You're cheating!" This shout made the junior staff from all directions rush over in a hurry.
