Chapter 1005: Chapter 1005: Cleverness

Seeing the mountain-like pile of Silver in front of her, Xiao Taohong was excited beyond words, not noticing anything amiss at all.

"Yikes! My goodness, how come it’s all Silver? Can it be exchanged for silver notes? It’s going to be a hassle to carry home later." Xiao Taohong, despite her excitement, couldn’t help but worry.

"No worries, Little Baby has infinite strength, I can carry it all," Little Baby said nonchalantly, his eyes drifting toward the Croupier from time to time.

The Croupier’s odd behavior had been noticed by him a while ago; After all, he is the Thousand Year Striped Tiger, and before getting injured, he often roamed among humans, knowing full well the evil in their hearts.

"Xiao Taohong, let’s get going."

All in all, they had won nearly several thousand taels of silver, and Little Baby thought it was about time; any more wins and the gambling house folks would definitely not let them leave, so he decided it was wiser to beat a retreat.

"Don’t! How easy it is to make this Silver!"

Xiao Taohong was ecstatic. Without any effort, just by glancing at the dice cup, she could win so much money - way more than what Xuexue could make from doing business. Why not enjoy it?

"Are you silly? Haven’t you seen the way they want to kill us with their eyes?" Little Baby whispered into her ear.

"Really?"

Xiao Taohong, catching on late, took a glance at the Croupier, and sure enough, his initial beaming smile had turned to an iron blue complexion.

"Ahem! I mean, isn’t this gambling house a bit too stingy? It’s not like we’ve won that much money!"

"See, you don’t admit you’re naïve. Gambling houses are always like this. A little fortune can be taken away, but if you win a lot, generally you have to leave it behind. A beating is trivial; the serious consequence is losing your life!"

The two of them whispered in each other’s ears, speaking softly.

"What’s there to fear? If it really comes down to it, we can just fight them." Xiao Taohong was nonchalant, confident in their combined strength, which was more than enough to take down the gambling house.

"You mustn’t forget that we sneaked out in secret. If Xuexue finds out we’ve caused trouble, who knows how she’ll punish us."

Having mentioned Xuexue, Xiao Taohong conceded. Despite Xuexue being a woman, her temper could be quite frightening.

"Fine then, we’ll just let them off easy."

After whispering, the two began to gather the Silver on the table.

The Croupier was stunned for a moment. He had just been about to employ his trump card to win back all the lost Silver, but these two kids were unexpectedly thinking of slipping away—no way he would allow that.

The Croupier put on a smile, a grin without warmth, and said: "Young Master, Miss, why not stay and play a bit longer before leaving?"

He thought they were just two easy marks, but who knew they’d turn out to be such disasters.

The Croupier ground his teeth in hatred; if he lost so much Silver from the gambling house on his watch, the Owner would definitely dock his wages.

"No, thank you. It’s getting late, and our parents are waiting for us at home!"

Little Baby seemingly pulled out a piece of cloth from nowhere, wrapped up all the Silver on the table, slung it over his shoulder, and looked ready to dash.

Many people had gathered around the table, intrigued by the sizeable amount of Silver Little Baby had won, circling around to watch the excitement, some even there to try their luck and win a windfall themselves.

The Croupier set down the dice cup in his hand, walked up to them, blocking their way.

"Little Young Master, I’d advise you to stay a bit longer and play a few more rounds. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave through these doors," the Croupier’s tone was full of threat.

Thinking he could scare the little kid with a few words was a big mistake.

"What’s the matter? Are you saying your gambling house only lets people lose money, and you won’t let them leave if they win?"

Little Baby was clever, deliberately raising his voice and howling loudly.
