Urban Invincible Medical Divine-Chapter 685 - 355: Making a Fuss_6
"Liu Wentian, are you really skilled in gambling?" Fan Xiaoyu, walking into Boss Cui’s casino with Liu Wentian, asked again with a skeptical tone.
Liu Wentian had told her that he was a master of gambling, which made her doubt him.
From her point of view, Liu Wentian was very impressive, but she had never heard him mention anything about his gambling skills before.
It was said that those gambling masters needed to practice diligently day and night from a very young age, and she had never seen Liu Wentian practicing any gambling games at home.
There wasn’t even a deck of cards at home.
"Of course! I’ll win back the million my father-in-law lost straight away, and I’ll even take Boss Cui’s underwear!" Liu Wentian nodded and said with a laugh.
Actually, he was no gambling master at all; he hadn’t gambled a cent in his entire life.
However, he was a martial artist of great strength, possessing superhuman hearing, eyesight, and learning abilities—far beyond what an ordinary person could imagine!
The casino was several hundred square meters in size, with dozens of gambling tables and every kind of game imaginable, quite resembling the style of a Macau casino, he observed.
At each table, people were crowding around, shouting excitedly; some were dancing with joy, while others had faces gloomy as if mourning the death of their parents.
Non-drinking gamblers could sometimes be even crazier than the most inebriated drunkards!
As soon as Liu Wentian and his companion entered, they immediately attracted the attention of many onlookers.
The place was mostly filled with men, and naturally, their gaze was drawn to Fan Xiaoyu.
Fan Xiaoyu was dressed simply, yet in a dignified and elegant way; her ripe peach-like figure and her beautiful, delicate face were like magnets for everyone’s eyes.
However, seeing that Fan Xiaoyu was accompanied by a man, they soon turned their heads back; to them, gambling was even more enthralling than a beautiful woman.
Liu Wentian, taking Fan Xiaoyu by the hand, walked around inside and then stopped in front of a dice table.
Liu Wentian stepped forward, staring at the hand of the person rolling the dice and at the shaker in his hand, and then stood silently without saying a word.
Fan Xiaoyu looked at him with a puzzled expression but didn’t say anything, standing quietly by his side.
At first, those around the gambling table thought Liu Wentian, who had brought such a top-grade woman, was some big-time gambler, but he neither placed a bet nor left. They were confused.
A few minutes later.
"Hey, are you going to gamble or not? If not, make some room. Ever since you got here, I’ve been losing non-stop; you’re such bad luck!" After a while, a slightly bald man with triangular eyes complained to Liu Wentian beside him.
"Gambling," Liu Wentian finally spoke up.
Hearing that Liu Wentian was finally going to gamble, the crowd became curious to see this guy place his bets, considering the high-class beauty by his side, they figured he must be quite wealthy.
They wondered how much he would play.
Liu Wentian looked around, smiled, and said, "Can someone lend me a chip? Just 10 dollars is fine, and after I win, I’ll give back 100,000 to him."
His words left the bystanders stunned; after a few seconds of silence, a burst of laughter erupted. freēnovelkiss.com
"Damn! I thought this guy was some rich second generation. Turns out, he doesn’t even have 10 dollars for a chip and needs to borrow one, what a broke fella!! How in the world did he manage to snag such a top-grade chick?"
"Pfft! Does this guy think he’s the God of Gamblers? Betting with just a 10-dollar chip and offering to return 100,000, meaning he expects to win at least 100,000?"
"I’ve gambled for so long and I’ve never seen anyone turn 10 dollars into 100,000!"
"Dude, your act is way over the top, winning 100,000 with just 10 bucks? Are you planning on winning several times in a row? Are you insane?"
The previously annoyed triangular-eyed middle-aged man who had called Liu Wentian bad luck couldn’t help but curse, "What the hell! Having such an idiot next to me, no wonder I’m on a losing streak!"
After finishing speaking, he simply shifted to the side to distance himself from Liu Wentian a bit.
"Liu Wentian, shall I go exchange for some chips?" Fan Xiaoyu couldn’t help but speak out, feeling somewhat annoyed by these people mocking Liu Wentian.
But to be honest, she also thought that Liu Wentian’s statement was a bit too exaggerated.
Liu Wentian wanted to borrow a chip simply because he was too lazy to exchange them himself, after all, he only needed one chip.
As for the promise of repaying 100,000, to him, 100,000 and 10 were hardly any different.
Seeing that no one was willing to lend him one, Liu Wentian was about to nod and ask Fan Xiaoyu to exchange for some chips.
At that moment, a somewhat childish sweet female voice said, "I... I’ll lend it to you."
Liu Wentian looked over, it was a girl not far from him who had spoken.
She appeared to be about 15 or 16 years old, with a delicate face and a slightly frail figure; what stood out the most was her somewhat old school uniform.
Now was the summer vacation period for schools, and at such a time, wearing a school uniform meant only one thing: that this girl’s family must be quite poor.
Liu Wentian was curious, but he didn’t like prying into others’ affairs. He smiled and said, "Okay, then thank you. I’ll pay you back 100,000 later."
As he said this, he had already taken the 10-dollar chip from the girl’s hand.
The crowd heard this and sneered to themselves, thinking this guy really knew how to boast, acting as if it was real. The girl was also stupid enough, even if it was just 10 dollars, you couldn’t just waste it like that!
Fan Qian heard Liu Wentian’s words but just smiled, not taking it too seriously, wondering what to do later when she got home.
Her family was poor to begin with; her mother was unwell, and both her younger brother and she needed to be in school. The family had always been supported solely by her father working tirelessly delivering parcels.
However, just yesterday, her father was hit by a car while delivering parcels.
Although it was just a scrape and he was not flung away, her father ended up with a broken leg, and the driver had fled without a trace.
The hospital said that the treatment would cost at least 70 or 80 thousand, which almost immediately overwhelmed her already impoverished family.
Out of desperation, she clenched her teeth, took two hundred dollars, and ran to the casino, hoping to win some money. Unfortunately, she had lost until she only had 10 dollars left in no time!
Feeling desperate, she no longer wanted to gamble. Seeing Liu Wentian being ridiculed by a group and feeling somewhat sympathetic, she gave him her last chip.
When she gave the chip to him, she never expected him to repay her; naturally, the so-called repayment of 100,000 was even less real to her!
At that moment, she sighed helplessly and was about to leave the casino.
She hadn’t paid her father’s hospitalization fee yet, where on earth was she going to find money? She really didn’t want to engage in such filthy transactions!
For a moment, Fan Qian felt so desperate that she even had the impulse to leave this world.
But she couldn’t. Her father, crippled by his injury, her unwell mother, and her younger brother who was still in primary school, all needed her at this time!
In fact, she was just a 16-year-old child, yet she had to bear so much!
Fan Qian had just taken a step to leave when she suddenly realized that something was amiss with the atmosphere!
The crowd, which had been noisy just a moment ago, now had an expression as if they had seen a ghost, staring steadfastly at the young man from before.
"What’s going on?"
Fan Qian looked curiously at the young man and, upon seeing the pile of chips in front of him, couldn’t help but exclaim, "How did you win so much?"
