The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 50 I’m Just Lucky!

The croupier tried to calm down and wiped the sweat on his forehead randomly, but it was useless because sweat oozed out on his forehead again.

“Gentleman, you’re so lucky. Do you want to continue the game?” The croupier tried to make his tone sound calm, but he was disturbed in his mind, for fear that Chu Xun would not continue.

The corners of Chu Xun’s mouth, which were hidden under the mask, raised, and the next moment, he pushed out all the three million chips in front of him.

The gamblers around were in an uproar again because Chu Xun was still betting on three-of-a-kind.

Some gamblers hesitated for a while before following suit, but the money they gave out was not many, which was 50,000, 10,000 and at most 20,000. They were testing the water.

Some gamblers shook their heads secretly because they did not think there would be a three-of-a-kind in a row.

The croupier picked up the dicebox and shook it violently to hide the fact that his hands were trembling. As the croupier suddenly put the dicebox on the table, he stepped on the button again secretly. His palm felt a slight tremor, which was caused by the dices turning. He already knew the points inside the dicebox, which was definitely not a three-of-a-kind. This time, he must win back what he had lost.

“Open it!” Chu Xun tapped his knees and said casually.

The gamblers who followed Chu Xun to bet suddenly became nervous, staring at the dicebox closely.

The croupier suddenly opened the dicebox.

The crowd remained quiet for a few seconds and then cheered up!

“Three two-points! Three-of-a-kind again!”

Those who followed Chu Xun to bet shouted excitedly while the gamblers who were waiting and observing aside and did not follow Chu Xun to bet thumped their chests and stamped their feet with their faces full of regret.

The croupier’s face was as pale as paper and his eyes were dull. He murmured, “It’s impossible, it’s impossible...”

“What are you talking about? What is impossible? Can’t you see three are three two-points in front of you?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. Hurry up and pay out the winnings.”

...

The gamblers who won the round were not satisfied and started to shout.

If it were one gambler, the croupier could argue with him. However now, he was faced with so many people, so he dared not to argue with them and could only bite his teeth and pay out the winnings.

The gamblers who got the winnings looked very happy.

Chu Xun’s initial stake was three million yuan, and the payout odds of the bet was 5:1. As a result, he won 15 million yuan this round. Plus his initial stake, he had 18 million yuan in total now.

Chu Xun’s eyes were full of mockery. Then, under the gaze of everyone, he put all his chips of 18 million on three-of-a-kind.

“He bets on a three-of-a-kind the third time. Will there be a three-of-a-kind once more?” the gamblers couldn’t help but murmur.

As there was too much commotion on Chu Xun’s side, other gamblers all left their tables and gathered around Chu Xun’s table, surprised that someone actually could win every bet.

“Fu*k! I’ll give it all out.” A gambler gritted his teeth and put all his chips, which were estimated to be 2 million yuan, on the betting layout.

With this man taking the lead, other gamblers no longer hesitated and made their bets one after another. Since it was a gamble, they had to bet on luck and courage.

“Let’s get started. What are you waiting for?” Chen Hanlong shouted loudly.

Other gamblers also began to urge the croupier.

The croupier held the surface of the table with both hands; otherwise, he was afraid that he would faint. Now, his heart was full of anger. “Which fool designed this machinery? Why would there be a three-of-a-kind every round?” he wondered and made up his mind that he would beat up the fool who designed the machinery when he found him.

All of a sudden, his eyes lit up. “Every time I play the trick, there would be a three-of-a-kind. What if I don’t use it?” The croupier could not help but suspect that he operated the machinery wrongly. This round, he decided not to use the machinery, which gave him some confidence.

“Woola... Woola...”

There were sounds of dices bumping on the dicebox. The gamblers all stared at the shaking dicebox closely. When the croupier stopped shaking the dicebox and put it on the table, the place was in dead silence and only some people panting nervously could be heard.

The croupier also looked nervous. He closed his eyes and opened the dicebox suddenly.

Three seconds later, there was overwhelming cheers and exclamations in the place.

The croupier opened his eyes and saw three same points, which made him feel dizzy. His legs went weak, and he almost collapsed on the ground.

Given the payout odds, Chu Xun won 90 million this round without taking his initial stake,18 million yuan, into account. That was to say, during the short one hour, Chu Xun won almost 108 million yuan from the casino with his chips of five hundred yuan.

Besides, there were also other gamblers who participated in this round, and their bets added up to near 20 million yuan. Thus, their winnings would be over 100 million yuan.

“Oh, no, I’m doomed this time.” Everything in the croupier’s eyes seemed to darken, and there was a hint of malice in his eyes. He suddenly pointed to Chu Xun and shouted, “You cheated!”

Chu Xun looked indifferent and did not even raise his head.

Chen Hanlong was stunned and then became furious. He slapped the table surface and pointed at the croupier, shouting, “Bastard, don’t talk nonsense. It’s you who rolled the dices, and we didn’t even touch the table. How could we cheat?”

“How could you deny the fact because you lost? Does your casino want to act shamelessly toward its customers?”

“Damn, I lost more than five million yuan before. I suspected that you dealers cheated.”

“Pay out the winnings, and don’t talk nonsense.”

The gamblers around were not satisfied because it was obvious that the casino wanted to go back on its words.

The croupier was at a loss for words. Facing so many people, he could only admit his defeat.

“Please calm down, ladies and gentlemen!”

A calm voice sounded. Following the sound, the gamblers saw a dignified, well-built, and middle-aged man with a square face walk over, followed by two burly men. The crowd couldn’t help but give way to them.

The middle-aged man glanced at the croupier, then turned around and said loudly, “Don’t worry, everyone. The Bauhinia Casino has always been fair. Since you have won, we will pay out the winnings according to the rules.”

As the middle-aged man waved his hands, two bunny girls came over with trays in their hands, and there were chips of large-value in the trays. The middle-aged man ordered some people to give the chips to the gamblers who won without owing them a penny.

With his action, the middle-aged man won everyone’s approval.

“Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My last name is Lei, and I’m the manager of this casino. You can call me Manager Lei,” the middle-aged man said with a smile.

After that, he turned to look at the croupier, saying, “Go to take a rest, and you’re not needed here for the time being.”

The croupier trembled slightly and glared at Chu Xun before he left.

Only then did Manager Lei look at Chu Xun and said with a smile, “Gentleman, you’re really lucky today and won all-around success. Congratulations.”

Chu Xun nodded slightly as a response.

“Gentleman, it’s a waste of your great luck to gamble here. The games here are just small games, and the real gamble is inside there. Do you dare go inside and have a try?” said Manager Lei.

The gamblers around were a little angry. They could win some money only when following Chu Xun to bet. If Chu Xun went inside to gamble, they could not win money any more for they could not enter that place with the money they had.

Manager Lei ignored the gamblers around him. He did not need to show due respect for anybody’s feeling.

“Lead the way,” Chu Xun stood up and said flatly.

“Bravo!” Manager Lei gave a thumbs-up and praised Chu Xun, and then made a gesture of please.

Chen Hanlong quickly put away their chips and followed Chu Xun.

Manager Lei led Chu Xun and Chen Hanlong toward the inside. They passed through a door and a passageway of more than ten meters. When they entered another gate, they were amazed by the luxurious scene inside.

Not many gamblers could be seen there, but each of them was rich. Every bet they made was about millions of dollars, and the bunny girls there were much better than those at outside.

“Don’t you think this place is more suitable for the two of you, gentlemen?” Manager Lei smiled.

Chu Xun stayed silent and walked to the gamble table where a game of rolling dices was held.

“Gentleman, don’t you want to try other gambling games?” Manager Lei asked curiously.

“I can’t win money quickly by playing other games,” Chu Xun said without looking back.

Manager Lei couldn’t help but be stunned. He then sneered and thought to himself, “How arrogant! It’s fast to win yet fast to lose in the game of rolling dices.”

He walked over to the table and signaled the croupier to leave before looking at Chu Xun.

“If you don’t mind, gentleman, how about I play a few rounds with you.”

“Whatever!” Chu Xun’s voice sounded calm.

There was a hint of sarcasm in Manager Lei’s eyes. Besides being the manager of the casino, he was also the chief croupier there.

“Please place your bets,” Manager Lei said.

Besides Chu Xun, there were also one male and one female gamblers, but they all wore masks, so, others could not see their appearances.

“Ten million yuan betting on Big Points.” The male gambler threw out some chips of ten million yuan on the “Big” character. (Big Points refer to the points of Come Out roll together bigger or equal to eleven)

The female gamble hesitated for a while and bet five million yuan on Small Point.

“90 million yuan, all bet on three-of-a-kind,” Chu Xun said flatly.

Chen Hanlong had always been obedient to Chu Xun, so he placed the chips in his hands on the area of three-of-a-kind without hesitation.

The male and female gamblers next to Chu Xun couldn’t help but look at Chu Xun at the same time, with surprise in their eyes.

“What a bold bet, but don’t you need to keep some money for your supper?” Manager Lei was shocked by Chu Xun’s courage because he had thought that Chu Xun would surely make a small bet to test the water.

“540 million yuan is enough for my supper,” Chu Xun said calmly.

Manager Lei was stunned. If the come out roll was a three-of-a-kind this round, he would have to give 450 million yuan to Chu Xun. Plus Chu Xun’s initial stake, 90 million yuan, it happened to be added up to 540 million yuan. Did Chu Xun mean that he would win?

Chu Xun was arrogant enough, but Manager Lei did not like anyone to be arrogant in front of him.

“Don’t worry. If you lose this round, I’ll give you 100 yuan for your snack.”

After that, Manager Lei slapped the table violently, which sent the dicebox flying in the air. He caught the dicebox and shook it in a quick and smooth way.

“Bang!”

With a bang, the dicebox was placed on the table firmly.

“It’s not too late for you to change your mind and take back some chips,” Manager Lei looked at Chu Xun and said with a smile.

“Open it,” Chu Xun said.

Manager Lei’s eyes were full of mockery. Those who were arrogant before him always had a miserable ending. “Well, I’ll just let you taste the feeling of falling from heaven to hell. No matter how lucky you are, it won’t work out.” Manager Lei thought to himself and suddenly opened the dicebox.

After opening the dicebox, Manager Lei did not look at the points of the dices inside because he already knew the result without looking at it. He had been dealing with dices since he was ten, and controlling the dices was as simple as eating and drinking for him.

“You lost.” Manager Lei said resolutely.

Chu Xun’s eyes were full of mockery, while the male and female gamblers beside him had a weird expression on their faces. Chen Hanlong even laughed out disdainfully.

Manager Lei was stunned and subconsciously glanced at the dicebox. His pupils suddenly dilated and his expression suddenly changed. The three same points on the dices made him feel dizzy.

“How could this be possible? How could it be a three-of-a-kind?” Manager Lei yelled in his heart.

“It looks like you lost.” Chu Xun chuckled.

Manager Lei looked grave, not because he lost money, but because he lost the round.

He held some shares of the casino, and he had earned a huge amount of money for the casino. As a result, he could afford to lose 450 million yuan.

What he really cared about was his reputation. Since his debut, he had never lost to anyone except for his master. However, today, he lost. Thinking of his confidence and the arrogant words he said before, he felt a burning pain on his face. The failure was a slap on his face.

“Brother, you’re awesome!” The male gambler next to Chu Xun gave Chu Xun a thumbs-up. Although he lost some money in the round, he saw a wonderful inversion and it was worth it.

“I’m just lucky,” Chu Xun smiled faintly and said.
