Chapter 336: Chapter 321: Feeding the Sharks (Part 2)

After hearing this, David Rogers couldn’t help but raise his hand and smack Wolz on the head again. Then he burst out laughing and said:

"Hahaha, you’re pretty sharp, aren’t you? Not bad, you’re almost as smart as me. By the way, what about those three? When are we making our move? Goddammit, they have the nerve to win my money. They must have a death wish!"

When Wolz saw his boss laugh, he finally relaxed. He had been genuinely terrified that his boss would throw him off the cruise ship to feed the sharks.

"Boss, I was planning to wait until they leave the casino and find a chance to strike! Damn it, don’t these three idiots know that too much money can burn a hole in your pocket?"

SLAP.

Another slap landed on Wolz’s head. David Rogers, exasperated by his subordinate’s incompetence, said:

"You idiot! I just praised you for nothing. Is your head full of shit? Wait until they leave the casino to make a move? How are we supposed to cash out the chips for him then? With what? And what if he loses all nine million US dollars to other players inside the casino? Dealing with just him is one thing, but what if we have dozens of players trying to cash out hundreds of thousands of US dollars each? You moron, hurry up and find an excuse to lure him out of there now!"

The more David Rogers spoke, the angrier he got, until he couldn’t resist kicking Wolz.

David Rogers’s reminder sent a layer of cold sweat breaking out on Wolz’s back. He was right. If the guy really lost that nine million to everyone else, his plan would be completely ruined.

With that thought, he quickly led his men and hurried back to the casino.

At that moment, Fang Chenyi and his two companions were sitting in front of another slot machine, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.

"Brother Fang, maybe we should just call it a day. Nine out of ten gambles end in a loss. Our luck can’t possibly stay this good forever. We’ve won nine million US dollars—that’s already a lot."

Standing behind Fang Chenyi, Qi Xiaotian clutched a briefcase he had just gotten from the staff. It was filled to the brim with chips. It was no joke; carrying them on a tray with so many people watching, who knew if someone would casually swipe one or two.

After all, a single chip was worth one hundred thousand US dollars, or 670,000 RMB—his salary for three years!

Clutching the case tightly, he carefully tried to persuade Fang Chenyi.

In his opinion, they had probably only won so much money due to sheer luck. If they kept playing, it was very likely they’d lose it all back. What’s more, if he couldn’t pull himself away, they would be in serious trouble.

After all, he had heard about the casino’s classic trick: let you win some money first, then make you lose it all back, and then some.

Even though they had just won nine million US dollars in one go, Qi Xiaotian was afraid it was that legendary trick in action...

If the people around them knew what he was thinking, they wouldn’t be able to resist spitting in his face.

The trick was a real trick, but what casino would use nine million US dollars as bait? Unless the casino management had collectively lost their minds.

Hearing Qi Xiaotian’s plea, Fang Chenyi just smiled. He held out his hand to Qi Xiaotian and said:

"Heh, don’t worry, Xiaotian. I know my limits. Give me five chips to start."

He could offer advice, but refusal was out of the question. Seeing Fang Chenyi’s outstretched hand, Qi Xiaotian didn’t hesitate for a second. He reached into the briefcase, took out five chips, and handed them over.

Fang Chenyi was very satisfied with this quality in Qi Xiaotian.

When the surrounding crowd saw this young Huaxia man take out five chips worth one hundred thousand US dollars each, a stir went through them.

Fang Chenyi took them and immediately tossed a hundred-thousand-dollar chip into the slot machine.

This was the exact moment Wolz arrived, and the scene caught his eye. He was stunned for a moment, then a smile spread across his face as he snorted inwardly:

’Hmph, it seems this young man understands that money can burn a hole in your pocket. Damn, I was just thinking about feeding you to the sharks. But seeing as you’re so sensible, knowing to lose the money back, I’ll let you off the hook this time. Don’t call us cheap; as long as you win less than five hundred thousand US dollars, we can give it all to you. Hmph, but if you go over that amount, then you can’t blame us for what happens.’

After muttering to himself, Wolz stood in the crowd with his men and watched. Although he guessed this Huaxia youth was trying to lose the money back, he still wanted to see just how much the guy would lose.

As a burst of music played, the cursor on the screen of Fang Chenyi’s slot machine spun around, quickly stopping on a lychee symbol.

Unfortunately, however, this time Fang Chenyi had bet his hundred thousand US dollars on the watermelon.

Seeing that the cursor didn’t land on the symbol Fang Chenyi had chosen, the crowd let out a collective sigh. They all shook their heads in disappointment, though it seemed this outcome was to be expected.

In contrast to the crowd’s disappointment, Wolz was all smiles, thinking that this Huaxia kid just needed to play a few dozen more times to lose all his money back.

Of course, as the cursor stopped, both Qi Xiaotian and Liu Yishou felt their hearts clench for no reason. That was fast. Six or seven hundred thousand RMB, gone just like that.

After the cursor stopped, Fang Chenyi didn’t give it much thought. He casually tossed in another hundred-thousand-dollar chip, once again pressed the watermelon symbol, and bet the entire amount.

Another spin of the cursor, and when the music stopped, another hundred thousand US dollars went down the drain.

Once, twice, three times... and in just about three minutes, the five chips in Fang Chenyi’s hand were gone.

A fortune that many people could never earn in their entire lives was lost by Fang Chenyi in under three minutes. The onlookers couldn’t help but shake their heads at the sight.

More than half of them had already shaken their heads and walked away.

Just as Wolz was watching this Huaxia man with great interest, Fang Chenyi once again reached his hand back.

Seeing this, Qi Xiaotian said nothing and directly took another five chips from the case, handing them to Fang Chenyi.

However, Fang Chenyi shook his head.

"Five more."

Holding ten chips in his hand, Fang Chenyi began to feed them into the slot machine one by one.

Seeing this, the surrounding people couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath. ’Has this guy gone mad? He just threw in a million dollars’ worth of chips at once. At this rate, it’ll probably only take a few minutes for him to lose back all nine million he won.’

But among the people present, one person was exceptionally excited, grinning from ear to ear.

It was the bearded Wolz.

Paying no attention to the people around him, after putting in the one million dollars in chips, he bet it all directly on the peach, which had a 50x payout.

Seeing him bet the entire million on a single fruit left the crowd utterly shocked again. ’Seriously, this is the first time we’ve ever seen someone play slots like this. If you bet on a few different fruits, you’d at least have a chance of hitting one of them.’

This all-or-nothing approach seemed a bit extreme.

After making his selection, Fang Chenyi calmly placed his hand on the start button.

The music started, the cursor began to spin. In that instant, time seemed to slow down as everyone held their breath, staring intently at the constantly rotating cursor on the slot machine.

For some unknown reason, Wolz’s heart suddenly started to pound. A bad feeling washed over him.

Finally, under everyone’s watchful gaze, the cursor gradually came to a stop. A chorus of sharp gasps immediately followed, mingling with the pleasant sound of a winning jackpot.

The heavily bearded Wolz’s heart instantly dropped. His eyes went wide with utter disbelief.

He muttered to himself in disbelief, "He... he won again??"
