Chapter 520: Chapter 520: Descendant of the Gambling Saint
Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, Leng Ruobing wrapped her arm around Xiao Zheng’s, wearing a faint smile on her face, and said,
"Everyone has said so much just now, but no one has asked for my opinion. I trust Xiao Zheng completely. Since he is willing to come out and help me, I am very pleased."
At this point, Leng Ruobing glanced at Hillman and said in an indifferent tone, "I don’t gamble, nor am I too interested in it. So, I would like to invite my friend to lend a hand.
As far as I know, it is a tradition at these Eagle Country banquets, but I wonder what Mr. Hillman thinks about it?"
Shhh.
Instantly, everyone’s gaze focused once again on Hillman.
At this moment, Hillman’s face was both pale and flushed, looking somewhat embarrassed. He was completely cornered by Leng Ruobing, with no room to argue, and could only let out a forced chuckle, saying,
"Since Miss Leng has put it that way, then naturally I have no objections."
Although reluctant at heart, Hillman still maintained a polite demeanor, his face adorned with a genteel smile, and his actions graceful and appropriate.
Seeing this, Leng Ruobing nodded slightly and finally gave Xiao Zheng a light smile, "The rest is up to you."
Leng Ruobing had great confidence in Xiao Zheng, primarily because his previous performances had always been very reassuring, and he was very reliable in handling matters. Since Xiao Zheng had come forward to help her, he certainly had some tricks up his sleeve.
Hillman chuckled and said, "Then let’s play Pai Gow then."
Pai Gow is quite popular among the upper class in the UK and is relatively simple, so Hillman’s proposal was quite normal.
However, under the scrutinizing eyes of the crowd, Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "I’m sorry, I don’t know how to play this."
The crowd was stunned.
You don’t know how to play Pai Gow?
Are you kidding me or just fooling me?
If you can’t handle such basic stuff, you shouldn’t be gambling. Go home and take care of the kids instead.
The looks directed at Xiao Zheng were filled with doubt and scrutiny.
Even Hillman laughed, What are you pretending for if you don’t play? Trying to act tough?
Noticing the expressions of the people around, Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "I think you have misunderstood me, I meant that I don’t want to play this because it’s too simple and lacks challenge. Not that I can’t play it."
"Heh, stop pretending here. If you can’t play, just admit you can’t play, it’s fine, we’ll just tease you a bit."
"Yes, just boldly admit it. But then again, you just said you want to gamble a couple of rounds for Miss Leng, and if you yourself don’t know how, how can you help?"
"It’s commendable to want to defend a lady, but if you don’t have the capacity and still force yourself to, that’s just foolish."
Everyone thought Xiao Zheng was just showing off, so at this moment, they spared no mercy, not bothering to disguise their mockery.
These men, who had just been put in their place by those refined ladies, felt overcome with anger but dared not vent it on those women. Now finding an opportunity, they showed nothing but disdain for Xiao Zheng.
After speaking, they all felt a long sigh of relief, immensely pleased, and then watched Xiao Zheng with mocking smiles, eager to see how he would respond.
But they were soon disappointed.
Xiao Zheng wasn’t bothered at all.
His face still bore that smug smile, appearing completely indifferent to everything.
At this, everyone felt somewhat discouraged, Holy smokes, the opponent’s walls are too thick, unbreachable!
Hillman remained calm and not angry, chuckling, "In that case, shall we play Baccarat instead?"
Xiao Zheng shook his head, "It’s meaningless. I get dizzy playing baccarat. I don’t want to play."
What Xiao Zheng said was true.
He really felt baccarat was not fun, too slow, not thrilling enough.
Everyone laughed again.
Not playing baccarat?
Could this guy really not know how to play anything?
Everyone burst out laughing.
Even Leng Ruobing was a bit nervous. Xiao Zheng’s behavior was really a bit strange. Could it be that he had earlier feigned competence when, in fact, he didn’t know how to gamble at all?
This was getting a bit awkward.
"Forget it, it’s nothing serious. These so-called nobles and social elites are just that. If it comes down to it, we’ll just leave directly and not attend the fashion show."
Leng Ruobing thought to herself.
She hadn’t forgotten that the fundamental reason for coming here was to see the fashion show because she noticed Xiao Zheng had been in low spirits these past few days and wanted to bring him here to relax.
Everything was meant to serve that purpose, and if these people truly continued to humiliate Xiao Zheng, Leng Ruobing would definitely leave.
At this moment, Hillman also felt a bit helpless and said, "I don’t know what you like to play. However, as long as it’s related to gambling, I play it. Whatever you like, I’ll play. How about that?"
Xiao Zheng scanned the gambling table, his eyes finally resting on several dice as he smiled and pointed at them.
"Let’s go with that."
The crowd was instantly stunned.
Dice?
This game is one of the most classic forms of gambling, testing ordinary people’s luck, but for experts, they can completely control the dice in the shaker during the shaking process. So, in this case, it tests the strength of both parties! Hearing, technique, judgment, and so on.
Mastering it completely is very difficult.
Becoming an expert is as difficult as reaching the heavens.
Being undefeated in a hundred battles is almost an impossible task!
Xiao Zheng’s choice of such a gambling method surprised everyone.
"Good heavens, he doesn’t think that rolling dice is just a matter of luck, does he? So he chose dice, hoping that maybe he could win with a bit of luck."
"Haha, who doesn’t know that Mr. Hillman is a real dice master! Of all the gambling skills, his dice skills are the best learned, almost like a god of dice!"
"Don’t stop me, I want to laugh, badly laugh. Hahaha, this kid is simply digging his own grave."
"Interesting, very interesting. I am really looking forward to seeing what kind of expression this kid will have after a disastrous defeat."
The crowd buzzed with discussion, all mocking Xiao Zheng with their eyes.
Hearing these voices, Leng Ruobing clenched her fists tightly; her palms were sweaty, and she felt tense.
It looked like it was going to be very difficult for Xiao Zheng to win!
"Okay, let’s roll the dice," Hillman then said with a radiant smile, "We’ll play high or low, the lower score wins. How about that?"
