“What? Add another 100,000? Is she crazy?” Zihou’s raise caused a commotion to break out among the spectators. With 100,000 gold, one could even buy a casino. Was this woman crazy?
The triangular-eyed man did not expect Zihou to add such a big bet and was a little stunned for a while.
“Why, you don’t dare to make this bet? Turns out the so-called undefeatable Gambling Saint from West Capital isn’t all that. It doesn’t matter if you don’t make this bet. Call me Madame and I’ll let you go.” Zihou smirked and laughed mockingly.
“Hmph, I’ll bet. I’m just afraid that when you lose, you can’t produce this 100,000 gold.” The triangular-eyed man thought about it, gritted his teeth, and agreed. He comforted himself in his heart. Although the boss behind the casino was the Prime Minister’s estate, he still had great power. Besides, with his capability, there was no way he would lose. In fact, he would even be winning 100,000 gold. He would be striking fortune by then.
Zihou raised her eyebrows, turned around, and pulled Qi Shaoyang’s arm. She said nonchalantly, “Isn’t there still the Crown Prince Estate? I believe that the noble Crown Prince Estate can still fork out 100,000 gold.”
2Hearing this, Qi Shaoyang’s mind instantly went blank.
One hundred thousand gold?
Qi Shaoyang wanted to cry but no tears came out. If they were to lose, he would rather die than take out 100,000 gold! He could even foresee the scene of his brutal dad chasing and killing him with a knife. Even thinking about it was painful and scary…
“Boss, you must win, else today will become my death anniversary…” Qi Shaoyang tugged at the ends of Zihou’s clothes incredibly miserably. He was one step from kneeling down and kowtowing to her.
Disgustingly pulling back her crumpled clothes, Zihou ignored Qi Shaoyang’s miserable look. If he wanted to pull her in to solve the trouble, he must be prepared to be hacked by her.
“If that’s the case, let’s start.” The man looked at Qi Shaoyang and finally nodded.
“The rules are like this, we each choose three pieces of stone in this hall, and then cut it on the spot. Whoever cuts out better stuff, wins.” Triangular-eyes pointed to the large hall divided into various areas with stones of different shapes and sizes.
Zihou’s glance swept through the stones and her clear eyes sparkled.
Betting on stones? Sorry to say but for people like her who dealt in the underworld, in addition to having excellent technique in medical assassination, they had many other interests and hobbies. Coincidentally, gambling was one of them, and she was very skilled when it came to gambling with stones.
She often went to various stone gamble conventions in different countries with Mo Jun. After playing and watching many games, she had developed a pair of sharp eyes. Even if she was not 100% accurate, 80% to 90% accuracy was not a problem for her.
The two went to the place where the stones were placed and began to choose. Compared to Zihou’s decisiveness and speed, Triangular-eyed was carefully making his choice. He looked at one, and then touched another, unable to complete his decisions even after a long time.
“Oh, you’re done with your selection so fast? I think you don’t even know anything at all, and just randomly chose a few pieces, right?” Triangular-eyes seemed to have quite a few apprentices. The person who spoke was another apprentice behind him.
“What do you know! This is called an Instant Kill. Do you understand?” Qi Shaoyang retorted indignantly. “Also, ordinary weak people can’t do this.”
He also did not know why Zihou was so quick and finished choosing in the blink of an eye. However, he knew that he could not lose to them when it came to exerting pressure!
After a long time, as those onlookers waited with anticipation in their eyes, Triangular-eyed finally selected three stones and placed them on the table. His wretched face was full of confidence.
Amongst the six stones, the triangular-eyed man’s three choices were clean in appearance and seemed to have an unordinary aura. In contrast, out of the three pieces chosen by Zihou, only one looked decent, while the other two pieces were black and ugly. No one felt that there would be treasures hidden inside.
The triangular-eyed man was also an expert. He squinted his triangular eyes slightly and looked at the three stones behind Zihou, but he was surprised to find that he could not see through the other two except for the one that was decent looking.
His heart tightened, and an ominous hunch came over him, but he quickly suppressed it. He comforted himself. If even he was unable to see through the stones, what could this brat see? They must be just some useless trash.
“Let’s cut it!” Triangular-eyes waved his hands, and two professional stone-cutters started to cut the stones with tools.
“Congratulations to Mr. Du, your stone has Silver Ore Crystals!” After carefully cutting the stone, the person who cut the triangular-eyed man’s stone immediately smiled and congratulated him.
“It turns out to be Silver Ore Crystals. Such a large piece of Silver Ore Crystal is a rare treasure!” Hearing the stone-cutters’ words, the crowd of onlookers immediately expressed their amazement. Silver Ore Crystals were essentially different from Silver Ores. Silver Ore Crystals were very rare. A fistful of Silver Ore Crystals was equivalent to 50,000 silver. Triangular-eyes’ pick was obviously more than one fistful, and it was worth 100,000 silver.
Triangular-eyes was very satisfied with this result. Silver Ore Crystals were rare. He did not believe that the damned woman could produce rarer Gold Ore Crystals.
“Oh my god, it turns out to be Gold Ore Crystals!” The person who cut Zihou’s stone could not help but exclaim when he cut out the treasure.
“What? It turns out to be a rarer Gold Ore Crystal?!” The reaction of the audience was more exaggerated this time. One by one they stretched their necks to see this rarer Gold Ore Crystal.
If Silver Ore Crystals were equivalent to silver, then there was no doubt that Gold Ore Crystals were equivalent to gold. Although the piece of crystal was not large, it was still worth 50,000 gold.
This result almost caused triangular-eyed to spit out blood.
1He just thought that it was impossible for Gold Ore Crystal to appear, but Gold Ore Crystals really came out! Didn’t he jinx himself?
1“Hmph, don’t be too proud of yourself, you’re just lucky.” Triangular-eyes glared at Zihou as he consoled himself. This woman just scored a lucky hit. This must be a coincidence. Besides, her two remaining pieces were all black and ugly, they were definitely not treasures.
“That’s right, her luck is great. What’s wrong? You must be so angry!” Qi Shaoyang was so excited that he was rather proud of himself.
“Congratulations to Mr. Du, this time it’s a piece of Qingtian White Jade.” Soon, Triangular-eyes’ second stone was also cut open.
However, this time, Triangular-eyes did not seem satisfied. His face sank slightly, and his eyes fell on Zihou.
“Uh, in this lady’s stone there’s only one… grass?!” The stone-cutter seemed a bit in disbelief that he actually cut grass out of the stone.
“What, weed? Ahahaha, it turns out to be a weed. Just like I said, how could it be a treasure!” Triangular-eyes looked over the moon and laughed extremely excitedly. Looking at Zihou, his face was filled with mockery and contempt. Although Qingtian White Jade was not very good, it was much better than weed!
The spectators also shook their heads in regret. After seeing this girl cut out a piece of Gold Ore Crystal, they thought that she was a hidden expert. Who would have expected that it really turned out to be pure luck?
Zihou did not care about their reactions. She walked calmly to the side of the stone, carefully picked up the so-called weed, and observed it.
With just one glance, a hint of joy flashed in Zihou’s eyes…
