Chapter 16

"Miss Cuckolder, now that you wrongfully accused me, I can demand compensation, right?" Lixue looked at the managerial staff.

"Yes, of course." The staff nodded politely.

"Who are you to decide?!" Guang Rong rebuked the staff, "And what did you just call me?!" she shouted indignantly at Lixue.

"Dear guest, there is a set of rules that the guests needed to adhere to. One of the most important ones is to not disturb and cause inconvenience to other guests," The staff politely explained, "The compensation will be up to the disturbed party with us only to act as a witness. The trouble and problem inside this casino should be solved inside the casino. This is our principle. Dear guest, please state your demand." He prompted Lixue.

Lixue knew this casino's principle. Because of this rule, the casino's reputation outside was clean without a speck of taint. This was because all the problems were cleanly solved inside the casino before the involved party went outside and blew up the matter.

In his last life, his master, the one who bought him, often came here and often get into trouble. In a way, he and Guang Rong were one of a kind.

"Don't be so nervous, Miss Cuckolder," Lixue made sure to pronounce the nickname slowly and clearly, "We're just going to play another 3 rounds of game. Just that we won't bet per round, but whoever loses in these 3 rounds will have to give all their in-hand credit to the winner. And if the winner wins all 3 rounds, the loser will have to pay 10 times the amount of their in-hand credit to the winner just like you want. 10 times."

The guests were shocked. In-hand credits are different from their main account. In a gambling place like this, transaction could come and goes several times in one seat. Their in-hand account act as temporary storage for their credit where no transfer authentication is needed to let credit flow freely.

If this was an average gambling house, it might not be too big of a gamble to give all their in-hand credit, but this was a luxury casino with a fixed minimum requirement of in-hand credit to enter which was 250,000 credits. This was because there was also a minimum credit requirement for each betting which was 25,000 credits.

A/N: 250,000 credits = approx. $38,700

Betting 10 times of in-hand credit was already relatively heavy in normal gambling house. But it was incomparable in this luxury casino.

The guests that were at the table since before Lixue joined them knew that Guang Rong's initial in-hand credit was definitely more than 6 figures. But after Lixue won 3 rounds with 1:35 rate, he undoubtedly owned more credits than Guang Rong. Guang Rong's arrogance and pride made her always pitch in high bet for each round in every game she played.

While Lixue kept gaining, Guang Rong kept losing. Like this, the young man definitely loses more if he loses the game. It would be fairer if they decide on a fixed amount of credit for the bet. This was truly a win-or-die situation.

"Heh! You think I would fall for that? You obviously have tricks up your sleeves. I won't play this farce." Guang Rong scoffed.

"The one who's going to play against you is not me. It's this escort," Lixue patted Ningjui's shoulder, "Am I not being very considerate about your delusional accusation?"

"???"

Ningjui smiled awkwardly in confusion. Who am I? Where am I?? What is this situation???

He eyed the manager pleading for help. The manager saw it but could only pretend to not see it. At least he knew that Ningjui wasn't an accomplice.

Ningjui was shocked by the manager's attitude and could only nervously sat with cold sweat. Not only the manager, all the guests also saw his tense and stiff body full of anxiety. He even sat straight with his hands on his lap like a student who was getting ready to get scolded by his teacher after doing something wrong. They could practically see his bunny ears stood up straight in alertness. His smile was still plastered in his face not knowing whether it was stuck or something else. He was both cute and pitiful.

The guests could only look at the boy in pity.

"Don't worry, I'll still pay using my own credit." Lixue smiled in assurance.

Ningjui felt more pressured. He looked back at Lixue, "Ex…Excuse me, I don't think I…"

Lixue smiled with his crescent eyes towards Ningjui, "Hm?"

"Nothing, sir!" Ningjui turned his head back and shut his mouth. Why is this guy's smile so scary?? QAQ

Guang Rong looked apprehensively at Lixue's smiling face. Somehow she got an unsettling feeling about this game because of that smile.

"Really, this cuckolder… you have 8 thighs you're clinging to. Surely, you're not so poor and worthless that you can't even pay if you lose? You don't really have any choice here, Miss Cuckolder. On the contrary, I'm giving you a chance to not pay as long as you win. I'm the victim here, but you don't appreciate my kindness. Mr. Manager let's start the game. You can be the supervisor." Lixue shrugged.

The other guests who have been watching from the beginning looked at Guang Rong in disdain. They thought that Guang Rong was being unreasonable. If it were them who got falsely accused, they would directly demand her their compensation. Likewise, if they were the ones who raised their accusation and falsely accused the beauty, they would directly pay their compensation and leave or accept this game without complaint.

This arrogant and prideful woman not only did she doesn't want to pay or admit her mistake, she even didn't want to accept the challenge that in their eyes, was more beneficial to Guang Rong. Long before this, they were already dissatisfied with Guang Rong both in this casino and outside. So, no one sided with Guang Rong and watched her silently, giving silent criticism. After all, they couldn't directly offend Yuan Jintian's people.

They unconsciously chose Lixue's side who was more beautiful. As they said, beauty is justice.

Guang Rong didn't have any choice but to comply. She sat back down on her seat with dark face. Then, she thought of something and ticked up a small smile.

Lixue of course noticed it and crushed her thought, "Because this is a duel with only 2 players, they can't choose the same number or overlapping outside bets. Each round can only place one inside or outside bet. Let's start."

Guang Rong's face fell. She looked at Ningjui who was sitting nervously, "Because this game is between me and the escort, you cannot interfere in his decision."

"Of course. Not that it will matter anyway. This game only relies on pure luck. I hope Goddess Fortuna hasn't abandoned a cuckolder like you yet. After all, as a woman herself, she might hate a slut like you." Lixue half covered his wide mocking smile, but it was still visible between his fingers. His curved eyes that looked straight into her eyes brought chill to Guang Rong.

"Even I would choose a cute virgin bunny than an old arrogant slut." One of the guests whispered to his friend next to him.

Although his voice was low enough, Guang Rong who was next to him heard it and stood up in rage. But before she could open her mouth, the managerial staff beat her to it.

"Both players, please transfer your credit into the betting system. Then, please show your in-hand credit balance to ensure that it is truly empty. After these 2 steps, we will then begin our 3 rounds all-or-nothing roulette game."

Guang Rong sat back down in shame and slammed her fisted hand down to the armrest. The communicator emptied her in-hand credit into the system. Lixue also did the same. Then, they showed their in-hand accounts to the managerial staff and other guests.

"S-sir, I don't think I should do this… I never play this game. What if you lose?" Ningjui said anxiously.

"Don't worry about anything else and just choose a number. Believe in your luck."

You know that me being here in this get-up is proof enough that my luck is as good as trash, right??

Although Ningjui thought that, he didn't dare saying it to the scary guy behind him.

Lixue took a step back and leisurely watched the game. Guang Rong chose a number while Ningjui chose the color red. The chance for him to win would be 48.6% including the 0 pocket while Guang Rong 2.7%. From the first round, it was apparent how Guang Rong's pride blinded her eyes on her priorities.

In this game where only win or lose would be perceived in each round, it was meaningless to bet on a single number which was high payout high risk. Because the credit wasn't placed in the bet itself, the high payout was basically void.

All the guests also shared those thoughts, but nobody tried to stop her. On the contrary, they're very looking forward to her downfall.
