“Twenty thousand per hand?!” Wu Tian’s words shocked everyone. The rich second-generation heir also froze.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford twenty thousand, but he wasn’t that wealthy. He had at most a million on him.
A game with twenty thousand per hand was still too much pressure for him.
As he hesitated, Wu Tian’s voice came again, “What’s wrong? Don’t want to play for twenty thousand a hand? Then forget it, I’m not gambling anymore.”
Seeing Wu Tian stand up, the rich second-generation heir panicked.
If he continued gambling, he still had a chance to turn things around.
But if he stopped now, he would have suffered a real loss!
The rich second-generation heir couldn’t accept this outcome. Without thinking, he quickly shouted, “Wait! It’s just twenty thousand a hand, I agree!”
A ripple of surprise went through the crowd.
This gambling house had been operating for many years, and games with twenty thousand per hand were rare, each one causing a stir.
As expected, upon hearing about the situation, other gamblers couldn’t resist and rushed over.
In an instant, Wu Tian’s area was packed three layers deep with gamblers.
Wu Tian smiled and nodded, saying, “Alright, since you’re gambling, please bring out your chips.”
Although the rich second-generation heir felt a pang of pain, he still exchanged his million for chips.
The dealer began to shake the dice and then placed the dice cup down.
“Gentlemen, please guess the numbers.”
The rich second-generation heir was extremely nervous.
He did know some methods for listening to dice, but they weren’t foolproof. Getting close to the correct number was already difficult.
For this round, he listened with exceptional focus, as if he wanted to press his ear against the dice cup.
He racked his brain to analyze the sounds he had heard, and finally determined the numbers, stating, “Eleven.”
Wu Tian, having already seen through the contents of the dice cup, appeared relaxed.
He picked up where the rich second-generation heir left off, saying, “Seven.”
Both sides had announced their guesses, and now it was time to reveal the answer.
The gamblers eagerly craned their necks, impatient to know the outcome.
The dealer opened the dice cup. The final count was – seven points!
Instantly, everyone erupted in enthusiastic cheers, as if they were the ones who had won.
The rich second-generation heir, however, looked ashen, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Wu Tian maintained his calm smile and said, “My apologies, I won again. This twenty thousand is mine.”
“Impossible… this is impossible!” The rich second-generation heir felt his heart clench.
He roared at Wu Tian, “How can you be so lucky every time! I don’t believe it!”
Wu Tian chuckled, “I’m not lucky every time. Didn’t I lose four times in a row at the beginning?”
“If you had stopped then, I couldn’t have done anything to you. But it’s a shame, such a shame!”
Wu Tian’s words were laced with mockery, almost driving the rich second-generation heir to madness.
Twenty thousand… gone just like that? He couldn’t accept it!
His eyes were bloodshot, and he didn’t think much further.
To win back his money with profit, he impulsively shouted, “Stop acting tough!”
“If you have the guts, let’s settle it in one go. How about eighty thousand per hand?!”
The rich second-generation heir’s roar sent a shockwave through everyone.
Even Wu Tian couldn’t help but be taken aback.
His original plan was to take the opponent down slowly, twenty thousand at a time.
But he hadn’t expected the rich second-generation heir to go completely mad and propose such an astonishing condition.
After recovering from their shock, the onlookers advised the rich second-generation heir, “Young man, calm down. Eighty thousand per hand is no joke!”
“Yes, you only have eighty thousand left. If you lose this, you’ll have nothing!”
But the rich second-generation heir couldn’t afford to listen to them now. Since the words were out, he had no intention of backing down.
He fiercely yelled at those nearby, “What’s it to you? Stop standing there and talking without pain!”
“This is my money, I’ll play however I want. What business is it of yours!”
Hearing that the rich second-generation heir not only disregarded their concern but also spoke so rudely, the other gamblers showed their displeasure.
They then turned to Wu Tian and said, “Young man, we support you!”
“This guy is too arrogant, you must win all his money!”
Wu Tian smiled faintly, “Eighty thousand per hand, you say? That’s quite a large stake. I only have sixty thousand in chips right now, I need to think about it.”
The rich second-generation heir, fearing Wu Tian wouldn’t agree, taunted, “What’s there to think about? You’ve already won so much, don’t you have the guts for this?”
“I thought you were some kind of master, but now it seems you’re just a coward!”
Wu Tian found the rich second-generation heir’s crude provocation amusing.
However, he played along, saying, “Fine, since you want to gamble, I can accompany you.”
“I’ll exchange another twenty thousand, and then we’ll settle it with eighty thousand per hand!”
“Good!” The rich second-generation heir’s eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit.
He had to win this round today!
Subsequently, Wu Tian exchanged eighty thousand in chips and placed them on the table along with the rich second-generation heir’s chips.
Even the dealer hadn’t witnessed a gamble like this before, and at this moment, even he felt his hands tremble slightly.
He shook the dice cup, shaking it more times than before, and with a very steady hand.
The rustling sound echoed continuously within the dice cup.
The dice struck the cup, but to the rich second-generation heir, it felt like they were striking his heart.
At this moment, everyone’s ears went blank, with only the sound of shaking dice remaining.
For them, this evening was incredibly thrilling. They hadn’t expected to witness such an exciting spectacle.
They were also very nervous. With the rich second-generation heir’s outburst, they all hoped Wu Tian would put him in his place.
With a sharp crack, the dice cup was firmly placed on the table by the dealer.
Everyone’s eyes widened.
They stared intently at the dice cup, wishing they could see through it.
The rich second-generation heir felt his heart pounding in his throat, his mind filled with the sound of colliding dice.
He had an answer in his mind but dared not speak it aloud.
After all, once he spoke, it would be final and irreversible.
