Chapter 1205: A Game to Win Money
The local casino was bustling with people.
Ryan, carrying $4, 000, wandered around the various tables with a carefree attitude.
He was in high spirits.
Spotting a familiar figure, he immediately whistled loudly and waved.
“Hello, Ibrahim.”
Ibrahim, the casino’s floor manager and head of security, was a common sight here.
However, he was quite surprised to see Ryan calling out to him. Usually, Ryan would run away at the sight of him, but today he boldly greeted him.
Ryan’s luck was good today; he won big as soon as he sat down at the table.
For someone who had been losing for months, this was a huge relief. With money in his pocket, he felt more confident.
“It’s you, kid. You still dare to come here… What? Have you gathered the $6, 000 you owe?”
The mention of the $6, 000 gambling debt didn’t bother Ryan at all now.
He took out the money from his bag and threw it in front of Ibrahim, speaking arrogantly:
“Isn’t it just $6, 000?”
“Look… I have $20, 000 here. Ibrahim, I can pay you back that $6, 000 right now.”
Ibrahim knew exactly how Ryan had won this money. To lure Ryan further, he didn’t take the $6, 000 but instead made another suggestion.NôvelDrama.Org content.
“Wow… you’re really lucky today.”
Even Ibrahim’s praise made Ryan believe his luck had truly turned!
“No way. I won because of my smart mind.”
“Really? Do you dare to play a game with me?”
“If you win, not only will I waive the $6, 000 debt, but I’ll also give you another $20, 000.”
This meant that if he won, he would get $26, 000!
Ryan’s eyes lit up at the thought.
This was like a pie falling from the sky. How could he miss such an opportunity?
Given his good luck today, he was confident he’d win and take home that $26, 000.
However, it seemed too good to be true. Ryan confirmed again.
“Really? If I win, you’ll give me that $26, 000?”
In front of everyone, Ibrahim nodded and announced loudly:
“I always keep my word. If you don’t believe me, just pay me the $6, 000 now.”
“As for the extra $20, 000, don’t even think about it.”
Saying this, Ibrahim extended his hand for the money.
Seeing this, Ryan quickly hugged his money and dodged, explaining with a smile:
“No way, Ibrahim. How could I not believe you? Let’s do it now. You set the rules.”
Ryan had fallen into the trap, and Ibrahim was pleased.
“Great! I like your style. The rules are simple: one round of dice will decide everything.”
To ensure fairness, they started the bet under everyone’s watchful eyes.
The dice would be rolled by a third-party dealer from the casino.
The dealers were professionally trained and could understand Ibrahim’s signals with just a glance.
The dice rattled in the cup as the dealer moved smoothly and naturally. No one could see any flaws.
“One, two, three… start.”
Ibrahim stood confidently by the table with his arms crossed and said casually:
“You’re the guest; you should choose first. Go ahead.”
Looking at the cup on the table, Ryan hesitated.
Seeing him hesitate for so long, Ibrahim urged him.
“Hurry up. If you don’t choose, I’ll go first.”
“No, I’ve decided… I’ll bet on high!”
He had been betting on high all night and had been lucky. He wanted to try it one last time.
Ibrahim knew what was going on and naturally chose low.
“Alright, let’s reveal.”
Everyone gathered around curiously. All eyes were on the unremarkable black cup.
The crowd was divided into two camps, arguing incessantly.
“High! High! High!”
“Low! Low! Low!”
The dealer glanced at Ibrahim subconsciously. Ibrahim nodded slightly in response. The exchange lasted only a second and went unnoticed.
“Alright, I’m going to reveal it now. One, two, three…”
The three dice slowly came into view. Ryan leaned on the table with wide eyes staring at the dice cup.
“Four, five, six… it’s high!”
“Great! I guessed right! Hahaha.”
This was the happiest day of Ryan’s life. He had never won so much money in one go!
If this wasn’t luck, what was?
He thought it must be his deceased mother finally blessing him.
Ibrahim’s face darkened slightly but losing this amount of money didn’t bother him much.
“Someone bring $20, 000 for him.”
“Yes.”
A server brought over $20, 000 on a tray and handed it to Ryan under everyone’s envious gaze.
Ryan accepted it joyfully.
At this moment, Ibrahim suddenly asked: “Wait a minute. Do you want to win more money?”
“What do you mean?”
Ryan was already intoxicated by his victory.
Wanting to win more money, he had no idea he was falling into Ibrahim’s trap.
“It’s simple. I’ll put up $100, 000 for another game. One round decides everything. How about it?”
“$100, 000? My God!”
Ryan was deeply tempted.
If he had that $100, 000, the first thing he’d do is spend a night at Club Royal.
The lure of money made Ryan agree. He bet all his money.
“Let’s do it. I must win that $100, 000 today!”
The dealer rolled the dice again. This time it should have been Ibrahim’s turn to choose first but Ryan jumped in with his answer.
“High!”
He had been winning by betting on high all night and believed this time would be no different.
“Really? Then I’ll bet on low.”
Ibrahim touched his nose and said maliciously.
“I’m sure. I’ll bet on high and I’ll put up $100, 000… if I don’t have enough I’ll write an IOU.”
The onlookers saw Ryan win $20, 000 in the last round and thought he was lucky so they followed him and bet on high too.
When the cup was lifted everyone was stunned.
“What? How could this happen?”
“My money! This was supposed to be for my wedding!”
