"Heh, good, very good!"
"It's been a long time since anyone dared to speak to me, a Wang, like that!"
"Since brother is so confident, please proceed!"
Upon hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Wang Tianlong sneered and made a gesture of invitation.
Zhou Xuan, without any pleasantries, didn't even glance at him and instead demanded that his previously won chips be cashed out first!
"Oh ho, what a legendary scene!"
"Gambling prodigy versus a triad family, who will prevail?"
"Let's wait and see!"
"Today, as a show of good faith, I, Zhang Mu Bai, will set up another bet outside of this one!"
"Everyone is welcome to place their wagers. We can predict whether this gambling prodigy can break through the Wang family's defenses and achieve ultimate victory."
"Or if the Wang family, with their vast resources, will prove superior?"
"The odds are currently one to one for both sides. Those interested can start betting now!"
Before Zhou Xuan and Wang Tianlong could even begin their gamble, Zhang Mu Bai, who had just called out, couldn't wait any longer and initiated his own betting outside their match.
Such an act clearly showed disrespect to the Wang family, who were the hosts, causing Wang Tianlong's expression to darken further.
However, he had no time to deal with Zhang Mu Bai's trivial matters. His target was Zhou Xuan!
He wanted to show this fool who dared to defy him that the Wang family's money was not something that could be taken lightly!
"Sir, if there are no further issues, shall we begin?"
"As you wish!"
Upon hearing Wang Tianlong's words, Zhou Xuan casually waved his hand.
"Alright, in that case, let us officially commence!"
"Clatter, clatter!"
"Bet big, bet small, place your bets!"
"Bang!"
"Sir, please place your wager!"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's nonchalant tone, Wang Tianlong sneered, picked up the dice cup from the table, and began to shake it vigorously.
After a moment, with a loud "bang," Wang Tianlong slammed the dice cup onto the gambling table.
"Why does Young Master Wang seem so irate?"
"It's just winning a little bit of your money, it's not that serious!"
"Since Young Master Wang is so upset, let's play a smaller bet this time!"
"Thirty million, betting on six points!"
As Zhou Xuan's words fell, the surrounding crowd erupted in excitement. The familiar act of predicting the dice points suggested that Zhou Xuan indeed possessed skill!
"Heh, sir, are you certain about your bet?"
To Zhou Xuan's surprise, Wang Tianlong's face showed no panic. Instead, he smiled cryptically at Zhou Xuan.
"Hmm?"
Sensing Wang Tianlong's ill intent, Zhou Xuan frowned slightly, channeled his energy into his eyes, and a stream of golden energy surged within them. Zhou Xuan's gaze pierced through the dice cup, revealing the situation of the dice inside.
"One, two, three points, totaling six points, that's correct!"
"What did this guy mean with his earlier words?"
Seeing the contents of the dice cup clearly, Zhou Xuan's frown deepened. He didn't believe Wang Tianlong was merely trying to bluff or intimidate him, as it would have no effect.
How could he be frightened by Wang Tianlong's words when he could clearly see the situation inside the dice cup?
But if it wasn't intimidation, what could Wang Tianlong's expression be explained by?
"I've confirmed my bet, let's open it!"
Unsure of the situation, Zhou Xuan decided to play it safe. He wanted to see what exactly Wang Tianlong was up to!
"Very well!"
"Three, six, two, totaling eleven points. It seems sir's luck has run out!"
Upon hearing Zhou Xuan's confirmation, Wang Tianlong smiled his eerie smile again, then lifted the dice cup with one hand, revealing its contents to everyone.
"Huh, I thought this kid was some kind of prodigy!"
"Turns out his previous two wins were just lucky guesses. Now that his luck has run out, he's back to his original form!"
"Sigh, I just bet on this kid winning at Zhang Mu Bai's place. Could I be this unlucky?"
"My money, my future wife's dowry..."
Seeing the dice in the cup, the gamblers around the table sighed in disbelief. Those who had bet on Zhou Xuan winning at Zhang Mu Bai's place turned pale, their cries of lament and curses filling the air.
"Heh, I told you to quit while you were ahead, but you wouldn't listen!"
"Now your luck has run out!"
"How about it? Still want to gamble further?"
Hearing the gamblers' words, Wang Tianlong's face bloomed like a chrysanthemum, his smile exceptionally radiant.
The humiliation he had suffered was finally released at this moment.
"So that's how it is!"
"I didn't expect it, but Young Master Wang has quite a few capable individuals by his side!"
"Gamble? Why wouldn't I gamble? I said, I'm here to collect money today!"
"My objective hasn't been met yet, so how can I back down now!"
Seeing Wang Tianlong's triumphant smirk, Zhou Xuan merely chuckled softly and casually glanced at a nondescript white-haired man standing beside Wang Tianlong.
He finally understood Wang Tianlong's earlier gesture.
In fact, the number Zhou Xuan had chosen was not wrong. The dice inside the cup did indeed total six points!
However, the moment Wang Tianlong opened the dice cup, Zhou Xuan felt a familiar energy surge from the white-haired man.
It was true energy!
This meant that the white-haired man beside Wang Tianlong was also a cultivator.
And it was he who, the instant Wang Tianlong opened the dice cup, used his true energy to forcibly alter the points of the dice inside, causing Zhou Xuan's bet to fail.
Having understood the situation, Zhou Xuan merely smiled lightly, completely unfazed by his recent loss.
Initially, he had only intended to interact with these people as an ordinary person. However, since they had resorted to cheating,
Well then, Zhou Xuan decided to drop the pretense and reveal his hand.
He wasn't afraid of anyone when it came to true energy.
"Good, sir has great courage!"
"Then let us continue!"
Upon hearing that Zhou Xuan dared to continue gambling, Wang Tianlong's smile widened.
He immediately covered the dice cup on the table, as if afraid Zhou Xuan would go back on his word.
Only the white-haired man beside Wang Tianlong slowly furrowed his brow. He had sensed Zhou Xuan's gaze earlier.
And Zhou Xuan's pointed remark made him feel that something was amiss!
"Could it be that this kid has figured out my identity as a cultivator?"
"But even if that's the case, it shouldn't be a problem!"
"Even if he knows I tampered with it, without any proof or evidence, what can he do to me!"
With that thought, the white-haired man's expression regained its composure.
Hearing Wang Tianlong utter that classic line again, all eyes turned to Zhou Xuan.
They wanted to know if this "Gambling Prodigy" was truly living up to his reputation.
