My Notoriety Spreads Throughout the World
Chapter 647 - 560: She Only Wants Money
"Raise, what are you talking about?" The male manager blurted out. "What else do you have to raise?"
"I want to raise to the maximum bet!"
Everyone present was wide-eyed, unable to believe what they heard.
"I want to wager all my modules, including my heart!"
The male manager’s eyes widened abruptly.
"A-all modules!"
"I also want to bet everything of these three!"
Just as the words fell, countless chips appeared out of thin air in Angelina’s hand, and she placed everything belonging to Tang Xin, Bai Youyou, and Su Sui on the table as well.
"Three, three people, you madwoman, what right do you have to make choices on behalf of others!" The male manager was so shocked his body trembled.
"Of course, they are willing." Angelina sat back in her chair, and the book on Xu Xiaoyou’s face somehow appeared in her hand.
"Call... call..." The male manager suddenly felt his mouth dry, and the world before him seemed to turn into a vortex, beginning to twist and swirl.
Reason told him his cards were the strongest, the girl was just bluffing, his fortune could match Angelina’s chips, and if he called, he could win everything from Angelina.
"Call..."
"I want to raise again," Angelina continued, and suddenly a pile of chips appeared in her hand again.
Those were all the chips from her team, and those people had entrusted all their value to her.
"Raise again!"
The male manager stammered, unable to speak, his vision blurred, and dry eyelids kept shedding tears as snot and tears mixed together. He staggered backward a few steps and fell to the ground, shifting the surrounding tables and chairs.
The rule in this casino was that when someone chose All in, or the maximum bet, the remaining people must either call and reveal their hand or fold and exit.
The girl’s raise was almost matching his entire fortune, which meant if he lost, he would lose everything he had fought for over the years; both his wealth and status would vanish.
Why was she raising, how could a newbie who didn’t even understand the rules have the audacity to raise?
The male manager’s reason was like a taut string, ready to snap at any moment. This string, on the verge of breaking, was frantically warning him to call, but he just couldn’t open his mouth to say those two words.
"Call... call..."
"Hmm?" Angelina’s gaze, sharp as an arrow, shot over, picking up a button with her fingertip and lightly tapping it on the table.
The male manager’s eyes widened abruptly.
That was a button from his collar; when did it end up in her hands!?
Could it be the reason she was so confident was because she swapped his cards when he wasn’t paying attention?
But from the very beginning till now, his eyes had always been fixed on the cards on the table!
But what if?
If he folded now, he could still retain the majority of his assets and not end up with nothing.
In the blink of an eye, Angelina somehow pulled out a glass of juice, sat cross-legged on the chair, and began to sway slightly.
Yikes! Where did that juice in her hand come from, and when did she get it?
No, she’s just bluffing. As long as he withstands the pressure and says those two words, he will be the winner!
But her expression seemed completely unconcerned about his choice, as if she was absolutely confident. It couldn’t be that she wasn’t afraid of dying at all, right?
Who wouldn’t fear death?
What if she really swapped his cards when he wasn’t paying attention...
He couldn’t look at his own cards or reveal them; doing so would mean calling.
"Either reveal your cards and match my maximum bet, or get out of here!" Angelina shouted coldly.
"Hurry up and call, you damn fool, why are you still hesitating?" Tao Lin’s face twisted slightly.
She was about to obtain everything from the girl; she was about to touch the outline of that light, only to be always unable to reach it due to a fool’s hesitation.
Two voices kept clashing and entangling in the male manager’s mind, like demons constantly luring him in his ear, and his already chaotic brain sank into a deeper quagmire at this moment.
Finally, in a moment, that string snapped with a ’pop,’ and the male manager collapsed to the ground under everyone’s astonished gaze, no longer moving.
"Fold... I want to fold..."
Fainting, he muttered the last words purely out of instinct.
The onlookers stared blankly at Angelina, shifting their gaze from the girl’s calm face to the two cards she pressed against the table, eager to see where her confidence came from.
Angelina nonchalantly picked up the cards and tossed them onto the table.
— Eight of Clubs, Two of Hearts.
A pair of cards so lousy they couldn’t be any worse.
Xu Xiaoyou then smiled and flipped open her two hole cards.
A pair of Queens of Hearts.
Under the golden lights, the woman’s crown on the cards was magnificent, her lip color crimson, her slightly parted lips seemingly full of teasing mockery.
"Why!"
Tao Lin’s shoulders trembled slightly at first, softly murmured, and then completely lost control of her emotions, her pupils brimming with blood vessels, nearly howling.
"Why, why, why!"
The casino guests were terrified by the girl’s state; they’d never seen this elegant and dignified manager reveal such a hysterical side.
Tao Lin wiped away tears, breathing heavily and shouting until her voice became hoarse, her long hair scattered messily on the ground, finally sitting there in a daze, muttering those three words as if she were a puppet with cut strings.
"Fold," Xu Xiaoyou suddenly said.
"What did you say?" Tao Lin was stunned.
"I want to fold," Xu Xiaoyou repeated. "That way I’m not the winner, she is."
"Are you pitying me?" Tao Lin responded in a low voice. "I don’t need your mercy."
"What are you talking about?" Xu Xiaoyou chuckled lightly, "Your soul is worthless to me. I don’t need your soul, nor do I need anyone’s soul."
"I only want the money I’ve won."
Behind the scenes, Tao Shier’s eyes slowly widened, the words of the golden-haired girl echoed in her ears, lingering without stop.
"Different..." she gasped, "She’s different." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Chen San cast a glance.
Xu Xiaoyou looked down and reached out to Tao Lin, who was sitting on the ground. The melodious music, along with the light shining down, cast her shadow in fragmented pieces.
"Get up, and then quickly transfer the money to my account; I’m in a hurry."
Tao Lin instinctively grasped Xu Xiaoyou’s hand and stood up from the ground, the rollercoaster of emotions leaving her slightly bewildered, her impression of the golden-haired girl shifting from a vile devil into a glowing angel with deadpan eyes, reaching out for money.
Ignoring the dazed and confused girl, Xu Xiaoyou approached Angelina and gave her a high five.
"See, Anya, I told you, you’re a genius at this."
