Xia He tugged nervously at the corner of Qiao Mei’s top and whispered, “If this goes on, we’re going to lose to that brat opposite us!”
“Don’t worry, I’m here,” Qiao Mei said calmly.
This time, Qiao Mei staked all the chips she had, a total of 330,000 dollars. She looked at Shen Zhou and said, “It’s late and almost time for me to go home. I see that Young Master Shen has about 350,000 dollars worth of chips and I
have 330,000 dollars here. Why don’t we play one last round and see which of us will lose everything.”
“Let’s do it! Do you think I’m afraid of you!” Shen Zhou pushed all his chips onto the gambling table. The dealer in front of them did not dare to handle such a big bet. He was only a Class C croupier and must report any bet which totaled more than 500,000 dollars to his boss. A more senior croupier would then be assigned to shake the dice cup.
Shen Zhou said obnoxiously, “I hear that there’s a woman named Bella working here and that she’s very beautiful! I’ve already met many beauties in Sky City, so I must also meet her today! Let’s see who’s more beautiful, this beauty in my arms or Bella from this place! Go and ask her to come down!”
“I’m sorry, Young Master Shen. Sister Bella is our boss. Based on the total bet amount, it will be handled by a Class B croupier,” the Class C croupier came over to Shen Zhou and whispered to him.
“Are you saying your boss won’t show me any respect? What is this Class A or
Class B! I don’t know anything about these! If I say I want Bella, then I want Bella! How much money do I need to stake to get Bella to come over! Give me a number!” Shen Zhou said arrogantly.
In the casino, most of the gambling tables were fronted by Class C croupiers. If the total bet amount did not exceed 500,000 dollars, there was no need to submit a request to change a croupier. If the bet amount was between 500 ,ooo and 5 million dollars, a Class B croupier would take over. Anything above 10 million dollars would be handled by a Class A croupier. Bella would only come and shake the dice cup if the bet involved a property or vineyard or other such items.
Although the Shen family was not one of the four prominent families in Sky City, they could be considered an up and coming contender in recent years. Shen Zhou’s father had sharp business acumen and managed to rise above the rest in just six years. However, his son was really a disappointment. Not only was he addicted to gambling, but he also liked to go after beautiful women. He already had as many as eight illegitimate children by now.
“I will stake my company in the bet! Is the bet big enough for your boss to come down now!” Shen Zhou said excitedly.
Shen Zhou’s female companion said fearfully, “Young Master Shen, let’s just accept a Class B croupier.”
“I have already won so many rounds! My luck is good now! Don’t be such a spoilsport!” Shen Zhou said as he looked at his female companion in disdain.
“Young Master Shen, are you sure you want to stake your company in the bet?” The Class C croupier wanted to make sure he was serious.
“Yes! I’m sure!” Shen Zhou said.
“Then we invite Young Master Shen and this young lady to the room upstairs to wait for a while,” the Class C croupier said.
“There’s no need for that! Why should we go through so much trouble! I have so many things here and I don’t want to move! What if the gambling table upstairs is tampered with? I want to gamble in front of everyone! Let everyone be my witness!” Shen Zhou shouted towards the crowd.
“That’s right! We’ll all bear witness for Young Master Shen!” everyone shouted back in unison.
Most of them just wanted to watch the show. It did not matter who won or lost. What was important was that there was going to be a good show today!
Qiao Mei smiled with satisfaction. Everything was progressing steadily in accordance with her plan.
When Bella received the news, she came down from the second floor very quickly. She had been watching everything that was happening downstairs in the surveillance room. From the moment Qiao Mei deliberately lost to Shen Zhou, she already knew that Qiao Mei was setting him up. This little girl was really a smart one.
Bella was wearing a strapless dress which exposed a lot of skin today. Due to the fact that she had to go on assassination missions all year round, she kept herself in very good shape. Shen Zhou’s eyes widened when he saw her. This was the first time he had ever seen such a woman.
“Hello, Young Master Shen. I’m the person you’re looking for. This is the agreement for the bet. Which company of the Shen family are you staking? We can conduct a valuation now,” Bella said.
“I… Let me think carefully…” Shen Zhou’s eyes never left Bella’s body. He only came back to his senses when his female companion nudged him..
