Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1475: Chapter 1459: Playing for the Thrill

”Miss Huo, you don’t need to explain further. We understand, don’t worry, we’ll make sure to help you inquire about the antiques in Europe as soon as possible!”

Song Chaoying’s eyes suddenly sparkled: ”It’s quite a coincidence that, although I don’t know many antique items, I happen to have a friend who deals with antiques. He has a private collection at home with many foreign pieces. If Miss Huo is available, after the WGC ends, we can visit together.”

The Song siblings were quite accommodating. In such a situation where they needed something from someone, Huo Sining had only made such a simple request, how could they possibly refuse?

Huo Sining looked at the pile of documents handed to her by Song Chaoying and smiled: ”Alright, there are only three days until the competition starts. It looks like I won’t have any time to rest.”

Huo Sining’s words left the Song siblings puzzled, and even Su Qingqing and the others in the room were a bit confused. Huo Sining didn’t explain, just curled her lips into a smile, stretched lazily, and waved them off.

After sleeping in her room for a night, early the next morning, Huo Sining got up quietly and went out without disturbing anyone.

Once again, she entered the Caesar Palace Casino. This time, Huo Sining only exchanged ten thousand in chips.

Due to an incident, the Song Gambling King could not participate in the WGC competition. There were rumors outside, claiming that this was likely a play directed and acted out by the Song Group.

Some even speculated online that the Song Gambling King had been reclusive for years because he was already incapable, and saying he would compete in the WGC was just a facade. In reality, the Song Gambling King knew he had aged, his gambling skills had declined, and he was no match for others. But to save face, he orchestrated this incident.

Such rumors quickly gained acceptance from many netizens and spread rapidly across major websites.

Huo Sining didn’t know how the Song Family Members would react to such news. Anyway, as an insider, seeing such news made her feel indignant and unworthy for the Song Gambling King. If the bedridden Song Gambling King knew what the outside world thought, he might just die from anger.

Huo Sining also had a premonition that after yesterday’s incident with the Song Gambling King, today the public opinion would turn sharply. The public can be fickle; if the Song Family Members announced her as a substitute for the Song Gambling King, the internet would explode.

She had no track record in the gambling competition circles, even on the high seas gambling, which were private competitions unknown to outsiders. If the Song Family recklessly announced this, it would certainly push her into the spotlight.

So Huo Sining’s plan was simple: in these three days, she needed to familiarize herself with gambling techniques, observe the gamblers’ psychology and strategies, while avoiding potential media reporters and those who might unknowingly harass her.

Of course, if all goes well, she also wanted to win back the two million she lost in Caesar Palace yesterday, with interest.

Yes, she’s that stingy. She’s always the one winning money from others; when has she ever let others take advantage of her?

Soon, Huo Sining was seated at the blackjack table, silently placing her bet.

In fact, Huo Sining had been playing at this casino all day, and the ten-thousand chips in her possession had visibly grown thicker, even she couldn’t tell exactly how much it was.

When the time came, at that moment, the croupier revealed the cards, and Huo Sining spread out her hand to reveal a pair of tens.

Huo Sining’s hand was surprisingly large, drawing envious glances from everyone around her.

Looking at her cards, Huo Sining smiled faintly at the croupier sitting opposite her and snapped her fingers, asking for one more card.

In fact, when the first two cards were revealed, upon seeing Huo Sining’s pair of tens, almost everyone watching thought her hand was a dead one.

Twenty points, almost a sure winning hand.

The game Huo Sining was playing was called blackjack, where the goal is to have a total card value as close to 21 as possible, but not over 21, which would result in a bust.

In this game, the main concern isn’t having too few points, but too many. Players, if they believe their two-card total is sufficient, can forgo the dealer’s third card.

Now, with Huo Sining’s hand, a pair of tens already made twenty points. To reach 21, she would need to ask for another card and hope to draw an Ace.

But if she asked for another card that isn’t an Ace, it’s clear that Huo Sining’s hand would bust; the best she could get would be below 12 points.

In this situation, with a hand better than most, and with a high likelihood of busting if she drew another card, a normal person wouldn’t take the risk.

After all, with the dealer holding so many cards, and everyone being dealt randomly, the chances of drawing an Ace are quite slim.

Everyone thought Huo Sining wouldn’t take a third card, but, unexpectedly, she took the risk and drew one more card from the dealer’s hand.

”Oh my god, is this woman crazy? She already has twenty points, what more does she want?”

”Is she insane? With a sure win, why ask for another card? Does she even know how to play?”

”So stupid, turning a good hand into a bad one. Just watch, this woman is digging her own grave, let’s see how she loses.”

The onlookers all turned to watch Huo Sining as if she were a spectacle, with some even starting to openly discuss and curse.

Huo Sining wasn’t bothered. She calmly glanced at the dealer and grinned mischievously.

The dealer initially felt secretly pleased, thinking this woman was a fool. But after being swept over by Huo Sining’s enigmatic smile and indifferent gaze, he suddenly felt a jolt of fear, beads of sweat forming on his temples, dripping onto the table, and the tension in his heart snapped.

Before he could react, Huo Sining had already reached out her hand toward the card she last asked for.

”Ace, Blackjack!”

Not giving the dealer a chance to turn the tables, Huo Sining revealed the card she had just drawn without hesitation.

A spade Ace was prominently displayed in her hand, beautifully completing a total of twenty-one points with her pair of tens.

The onlookers shifted from astonishment to shock, with gasps echoing throughout the room.

As everyone had seen, Huo Sining’s daring gamble was akin to pulling chestnuts from the fire, and yet she actually drew an Ace!
