"What?"
Upon hearing the ponytail girl's words, the elegant middle-aged man sitting opposite was startled, his face turning extremely pale, beads of sweat uncontrollably forming on his forehead.
"Snap—"
The ponytail girl ignored the middle-aged man's expression. With a forceful push, she swept the mountain of chips in front of her into the center of the gambling table, uttering two words: "All in."
"What?"
"All in?"
Hearing the ponytail girl's words, the middle-aged man's face turned ashen, while the other gamblers let out screams.
According to the rules of the White Horse Club casino, if a guest goes all in and loses, the payout is one to one.
However, if the guest wins, the payout is four to one.
This meant that if the White Horse Club lost this hand, they would lose eight billion to this girl.
What is a high-stakes gamble? This is it.
Looking at the world, this was probably the biggest gamble.
Not only the elegant middle-aged man, but even Yang Ce, who was standing nearby, turned pale and speechless upon hearing the ponytail girl's words.
The White Horse Club, after ten years of operation, only had an asset of tens of billions. Having lost two billion in less than an hour, losing this hand would equate to losing the entire White Horse Club.
Twenty percent of the White Horse Club belonged to him. If he lost the remaining eighty percent, Shen Lang would definitely make him pay when he settled things later.
"Old Huang, don't gamble with her."
At this critical moment, Yang Ce shouted at the elegant middle-aged man.
"Your Highness..."
Upon hearing Yang Ce's words, the elegant middle-aged man stood up with a grim expression, his clothes already soaked with sweat, his spirit completely gone.
"Are you Prince Nanling, Yang Ce?"
Seeing Yang Ce appear, the ponytail girl grabbed a chip, flicked it lightly, sending it flying two meters high. As the chip was halfway down, she calmly picked up another chip and flicked it away.
"Clang—"
The metal chips collided in mid-air, then fell together, and were swiftly caught by the ponytail girl.
This was a mere trick, but to all the gamblers, it filled them with shock.
This girl, knowing she was at the White Horse Club, knowing the man opposite was Prince Nanling, Yang Ce, yet remaining so calm and composed, was certainly no ordinary person.
However, it was understandable. If it were an ordinary person, how could they have cleared the three top dealers of the White Horse Club casino in one go, winning dozens of rounds and two billion.
"Yes, I am Yang Ce."
Yang Ce sat down opposite the ponytail girl and said, "It seems you're not afraid of me."
"Afraid of you?"
Hearing this, the ponytail girl smiled innocently and said, "This is the White Horse Club casino. I'm just here to gamble tonight, not to cause trouble. Why should I be afraid of you?"
"What, does your White Horse Club casino only allow you to win money from guests and not allow guests to win money from you?"
As she said this, the ponytail girl glanced at the elegant middle-aged man standing behind Yang Ce and smiled, "It seems you don't dare to gamble with me anymore. In that case, find someone else."
The ponytail girl glanced at the red Casio sports watch on her wrist, then took a transparent thermos from her backpack, opened the lid, and took a large sip of water, saying, "It's eight o'clock in the evening. There are two and a half hours left until my daily yoga time, so let's play for another two hours."
"Yang Ce, since your subordinate doesn't dare to gamble with me, then you gamble with me."
The ponytail girl smiled, "If you accept my all-in, you can win back the money the White Horse Club lost in dozens of rounds."
"No way, no way, you, the so-called Prince Nanling, wouldn't dare to gamble with a minor girl, would you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Ce's face instantly darkened, his eyes filled with rage.
Yang Ce had dominated Nanling for many years, and no one had ever dared to look down on him like this, let alone a thirteen or fourteen-year-old minor girl.
Humiliation, utter humiliation.
Yang Ce had never suffered such a humiliation, and he was completely enraged.
"Your Highness, don't fall for her trap, she's deliberately provoking you."
At this crucial moment, the purple-clad woman beside Yang Ce reminded him, "This girl looks innocent, but she is deep-minded, cold and cunning. If you fall for her trick, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Swish—
The purple-clad woman's words were like a basin of cold water poured over Yang Ce's head, instantly sobering him up from his heated state.
"Yes, Ah Xiu, thank goodness you reminded me."
Just now, Yang Ce had been ready to gamble with the ponytail girl.
If he had truly gambled with the ponytail girl, Yang Ce knew what the outcome would be.
Yang Ce's gambling skills were, at best, the level of a dealer. He was miles behind his four top gamblers, let alone this girl who had cleared three of his top dealers and scared another into submission.
"Girl, I have to say, you are very smart. I almost fell for your provocation."
Yang Ce stood up from his chair and said, "I'm sorry, I will not gamble with you."
"Yang Ce, you are not worthy of the title Prince Nanling. From now on, you shall be called Turtle King."
As Yang Ce finished speaking, a tall, beautiful, and sophisticated blue-clad woman suddenly walked out, stood behind the ponytail girl, and said with a smile.
"It's you?"
Seeing the beautiful and sophisticated blue-clad woman, Yang Ce's pupils instantly dilated, his face filled with disbelief.
"What, haven't we only met not long ago? Have you forgotten me so quickly?"
The beautiful and sophisticated blue-clad woman smiled and said, "Yang Ce, since your old eyes are blurry and your courage has withered, you should find a place to curl up like an old dog. Don't come out and be an eyesore, and don't block the way. Being disliked is a minor matter, but being disliked and then captured and beheaded is a major one."
Upon hearing the blue-clad woman's words, the White Horse Club employees were furious.
The other gamblers were greatly shocked, not understanding where this woman got her confidence to openly challenge Yang Ce.
Only Yang Ce, not only showed no anger on his face but even fear, saying, "Yu Linling, is this girl yours?"
That's right, the beautiful and sophisticated blue-clad woman in front of them was precisely Kong Wudao's strategist from the Kong family, Yu Linling.
Yang Ce never expected that after his plan failed, Yu Linling would still be in Nanling, and had even brought such a formidable girl.
"What do you mean 'mine'? Yang Ce, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all."
Yu Linling adjusted her sexy qipao, sat down beside the ponytail girl, and smiled, "I just wanted to play a few rounds at the casino and watch the show. What, can such a thing make you suspect me of having ulterior motives?"
As she said this, Yu Linling picked up a hundred-thousand-yuan chip and played with it, her smile full of playful amusement, "Yang Ce, if I recall correctly, the White Horse Club has a rule that if the house refuses to call an all-in from a guest, the casino will pay double, regardless of the amount the guest goes all in for."
"What is this called?"
"Oh, I remember now. It's called 'surrender and lose half'."
