Chapter 208: Chapter 0208: Raising the Stakes

This move once again sparked discussion among the crowd.

Before, these people thought Chu Ge’s words were just a joke, just to humiliate Chu Xiao a bit, and didn’t expect it to actually be true. That guy who looked like a lackey actually went ahead and placed a bet with chips!

"You..." Chu Xiao’s eyes widened, staring intently at Chu Ge. A few seconds later, with an angry but mocking smile, he nodded and said, "Fine, I’ll remember you!"

"Open it." Chu Ge certainly didn’t take his threat to heart and said directly.

"Hmph." Chu Xiao let out a cold snort and glanced at Lin Dong.

This kid was lucky; the dice he rolled indeed showed a small number, but since the canister was in his hands, wasn’t it up to him what numbers come up?

Thinking this, Chu Xiao sneered and his right hand holding the canister subtly trembled.

However, no one noticed that at the same time Chu Xiao trembled his right hand, Chu Ge’s index finger also gently tapped on the table.

"Heh, kid, it’s good to have confidence, but when confidence turns to arrogance, you’ll have to pay the price." After opening the canister, Chu Xiao didn’t even look once, just stared at Chu Ge with a cold laugh.

As for the dice, he was confident that they would show exactly the numbers he wanted.

However, just when Chu Xiao was about to say something else, he suddenly realized that something was off about the atmosphere around him, everyone was staring with wide eyes at the dice in front of him, displaying a look as if they had seen a ghost.

Subconsciously, Chu Xiao also felt a sense of foreboding, he slowly lowered his head, looked at the dice in front of him, and suddenly his vision went black, staggering a few steps back.

"Two-two-three, small!"

"How is this possible? How is this possible! I clearly..." Chu Xiao almost lay on the table, staring hard at the dice in front of him, his face pale.

On Lin Dong’s side, he was also in a state of shock. To be honest, after placing the bet, Lin Dong began to regret it.

He had been blinded by the huge sum of money, Chu Ge could win because he had real skills, but what reason did he have to win, knowing that the man in front of him, even though he appeared very embarrassed in front of Chu Ge, was after all the genuine Asian Gambling King!

Yet, life always has its dramatic twists, and when the dice numbers revealed themselves, Lin Dong almost thought he had arrived in heaven!

On Chu Ge’s side, his chat with Mu Bingtong was also drawing to a close.

"I’ve got a meeting here, so let’s stop chatting. Be careful when you’re out, and come back early, Yaoyao... she misses you a lot!"

Mu Bingtong actually originally typed "I miss you," but after hesitating a few seconds, she deleted the message and replaced it with Yaoyao.

Chu Ge curled his lips, "Can’t we talk a little longer?"

"No, I’m already ten minutes late because of chatting with you, if I don’t go now, I’ll be criticized." Mu Bingtong smiled helplessly, finally clenched her teeth, and heartbreakingly exited the chat app.

On Chu Ge’s side, seeing Mu Bingtong’s avatar turn gray, he also lost the interest in playing with his phone. He put the phone back in his pocket and looked at Chu Xiao, "What’s wrong? You’re looking quite pale?"

"You— " Chu Xiao glared fiercely at Chu Ge, his eyes reddened.

"What do you mean ’you’?" Chu Ge waved his hand impatiently, "Don’t bother anymore, let’s just bet all the remaining chips."

Chu Xiao’s body trembled, and after dozens of seconds, he suddenly looked up at Chu Ge and said, "Fine! But I want to raise the stakes, and make a slight change to the game!"

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, everyone’s gaze, including Nangong Man Sha’s, was fixed on Chu Xiao.

This greatly stimulated Chu Xiao’s desire to perform. He sneered at Chu Ge, "Aside from the ten million chips provided by Miss Man Sha, I will personally add another billion to the pot! How about it, do you dare to take the bet?"

As soon as these words came out, Chu Ge had little reaction, but the other participants in the gambling game started to grow restless.

They were billionaires, yes, but back then that was the sum of all their assets—now, a single gamble was for a billion! Winning would naturally bring instant wealth, but losing might well lead to many of them going bankrupt.

Moreover, in this game, one was known as the Asian Gambling King, Chu Xiao, while the other was a mysterious figure who had defeated the Asian Gambling King four times in a row.

Yet, due to their pride as members of the upper class, none of them wanted to be the first to suggest quitting the game. At this moment, they were all restless, with sweat even appearing on the foreheads of a few.

It was at this time that Nangong Man Sha stood up from her chair, walked slowly to the side of the gambling table, and spoke, "All right, this game was originally set up for these two gentlemen. Now that you two are prepared for a showdown, can the rest of you gentlemen give me face and step aside?"

Clearly, Nangong Man Sha’s words gave the others a way out.

A middle-aged man in a white suit was the first to stand up, looking at Nangong Man Sha and smiling, "Since Miss Man Sha has said so, it would be inappropriate for me to stay and hinder the final showdown between the two gentlemen. I will withdraw from this game."

Once one person took the lead, the rest naturally followed suit. Very quickly, only three people, including Nangong Man Sha, were left at the table.

"Mr. Chu Xiao mentioned that he wanted to change the rules a bit. How do you intend to change them?" Nangong Man Sha sat at the edge of the table and asked Chu Xiao.

Chu Xiao glanced at Chu Ge, cleared his throat, and pointed to the three dice on the table, "Since this gentleman said he only knows how to play dice, the game will naturally still involve dice. Only this time, we’re not guessing high or low, but comparing which is lower!"

"Comparing lows?" Chu Ge raised an eyebrow, showing a partly interested expression.

"That’s right." Chu Xiao nodded, "Each of us will have three dice, and we’ll shake them together. In the end, we’ll see who shakes out the lower numbers! How about it?"

"Big brother—" Upon hearing this, Lin Dong’s face changed, and he tugged at Chu Ge’s clothes, whispering, "Big brother, don’t bet with him on this. Stick to guessing high or low. If you firmly refuse, he won’t be able to do anything."

However, after looking at Chu Xiao, Chu Ge agreed without any hesitation, "Alright, I agree."

As soon as these words fell, everyone’s look towards him changed.

There was scorn, cold laughter, and pity.

"Hehe, this kid really doesn’t know whether he’s coming or going. Relying on luck, he fortunately won a few rounds against the Gambling King and now he really thinks he is the Gambling God?"

"Exactly, to actually compare dice rolling with the Gambling King? When the Gambling King participated in the gambling skill competition, I was there and saw with my own eyes that the Gambling King could roll any numbers he desired!"

"Tsck tsck tsck, a billion, huh. This kid doesn’t look like he’s from any wealthy background. I wonder how he’s going to repay this billion?"
