I Am A Notorious Hidden Boss In The Alternate World

Once Albion spouted, the female dealer dealt him an ace. 

"An ace? You're lucky...although 17 points isn't exactly a favorable number either," Anya Seymour muttered. 

Aces have the choice of being either 1 or 11 points. Between 17 and 27 points, it was not hard to choose what the ace should be. One was safe, and the other was a bust. 

"Will you stay or will you continue, sir?" The female asked.

It was hard to tell the female dealer's expression hidden underneath the sunglasses.

However, under Albion's Eyes of Ashura, nothing could be hidden from his gaze, including the dealer's pair of cards, a queen and a 7, and the deck.

"Hit me one more time," Albion stated. 

Very shortly, he was dealt 4, giving a total of 21 points. 

"So lucky?" Anya gasped. 

The game quickly ended with the female dealer dealing herself a 3 and getting 20 points, drawing with another player while the other three lost their $200 bets. 

Albion, on the other hand, won back his $1000 bet and another $1500 on top of it from the dealer due to the rate of 1.5x.

"You could say I am friends with Lady Luck," Albion casually said with a calm look, but inside his mind, he silently added, 'Lady of Bad Luck, that is.' 

"Che! Less boasting!" Anya rolled her eyes and said, "If you're good, then win every game." 

"Yohoho, that's not possible. It's impossible to win every game. I can only promise to win a lot," Albion stated. A lot of money that is. 

The only way for Albion to win every time in games of chances is through blatant cheating—Cough, not that he is not already cheating.

"This… what you said makes sense." 

Shortly after, Anya was pulled back by Eleanor Seymour before the Albion continued to win another three times out of 30 games. 

No doubt, his luck at the draw was terrible. 

Even so, Albion managed to keep his bet half the time. Furthermore, it only took him three wins to double his initial capital of $50k. 

"Little Brother, you're quite good," the man on the left praised. 

Albion smiled slightly as he subtly observed the female dealer's hidden expression.

Underneath the sunglasses, the female dealer's expression was a bit forced due to Albion's earnings. As a dealer, it was her job to earn money for the casino, not lose them. 

Unexpectedly, she had met a master. 

Even so, the female dealer did not take any action against Albion and continued dealing the cards for the following games as per usual. 

The person was already placed under watch. 

The security guards will eventually notify the manager if the person continues to earn more than $500k from the casino.

"I guess you weren't speaking empty words. This lady is impressed," Anya Seymour nodded with an intriguing look. 

Albion flashed her glance before he casually said, "Since I wasn't wrong, I don't need to do you any favors. On the contrary, what do I get for being correct?" 

"Hm, how about I do you a favor?" 

"Really?" Albion gave Anya another glance.

Anya Seymour nodded and stated, "Shoot! What do you want this lady to do?" 

"Oh. Then…please shut the f*ck up for me," Albion casually stated his wish.

"Y-You—!" 

Reeoow!

Anya Seymour wanted to screech like a cat that just got her tail stepped on after being triggered by Albion's rude request. 

She was so angry she wanted to spit fire.

Ring, ring!

Eleanor's phone suddenly rang while Anya was on the verge of exploding. Seeing it was a call from their father, Eleanor accepted the call, "Is there something you need, dad?" 

"Yes, I am at Eastern Allure Casino with Anya… Oh? It's canceled? Something more important…? Alright, I got it, dad. Okay, I'm hanging up now." 

Beep. 

The call ended. 

Shortly after, Eleanor pulled Anya back before speaking respectfully to Albion, "We'll be leaving first and won't be keeping you company further, Young Master Albion."

"That's fine." Albion nodded and said, "You can leave whenever." 

They only ran into each other by chance. The pair of sisters did not have any obligation to accompany him, nor did he need their company.

"Wait, sister! Why are we leaving? What did dad say?" Anya asked hurriedly while resisting her sister's tugging.

"Dad said that we are not going to participate in the auction tonight anymore. Something more important has popped up. However, dad will only tell us when we get home," Eleanor Seymour stated. 

"W-wait! I need to do something first!" 

Anya Seymour broke free from her sister's grasp before nudging Albion, "Pass me your phone for a second!"

"You want my phone?" Albion gazed at Anya with a raised brow before taking out his phone and said, "Take it if you want. You can have it." 

"Huh?" 

Anya was surprised for a moment before her eyes fell on the many cracks on Albion's phone screen and widened in the next moment.

"What the heck happened to your phone?" 

"Well… Shit happens." Albion replied nonchalantly.

Anya was a bit speechless before she shook her and snatched the phone from Albion's hand.

"Never mind. I won't ask for the specifics," She said.

Shortly after browsing his call log for a moment, she quickly exclaimed, "I knew it! You haven't saved my number!" 

"Hmph, hmph! How dare you ignore this lady's calls!" Anya spat with fumes in her eyes while adding her name to his contacts before tossing the phone. 

"Don't you dare hang up on me next time!" Anya spouted before storming off.

Eleanor quickly bowed in apology with a wry smile in her little sister's stead before she followed after her.

"Finally, some silence…" Albion drew a soft breath of air.

"Those two must have been the twin flowers of the Seymour family. What is your relationship to them if you don't mind me asking, little brother?" asked the man on his left.

"Them? I guess you can say I am their nanny." 

After listening to Albion's nonchalant response that could make people speechless, the man nearly choked on his own spit. 

"Ahem, you're really…something, little brother." The man rubbed his forehead wryly, thinking Albion was quite enigmatic and unique. 

In Silvercove city, there were not many people who would dare to speak like him.

The game of Blackjack eventually resumed, and Albion continued losing small bets while winning big bets. 

The man and the other three players could not help but stay after witnessing Albion's big earnings reached $500k. 

Needless to say, the female dealer wanted to cry. 

"How is it possible that when you lose, you only lose small bets. But when you win, you win big? Young man, you must be cheating, right?" One of the other players accused Albion.

'Someone finally said it, huh?' Albion thought. 

Not surprising after he earned more than $450k from the casino. Nevertheless, Albion's expression remained calm while he faced the accuser on his right side.

"Hey, buddy. You mustn't speak carelessly, lest it cost you your life," Albion warned before stating, "As the saying goes; one can eat whatever they want, but one cannot shit wherever they want."

"…"

"…"

Everyone was struck speechless for a moment before the right man uttered dumbly, "…What?"

Was there such a saying?
