Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1482: Chapter 1456: Concealing One’s Strength and Biding One’s Time

”Oh, Danio, you’re crazy!”

After lending money to Danio, Kevin was both shocked and angry when he saw Danio bet all the money on a strange name called Huo Sining, completely unsure of what Danio was thinking.

”Danio, have you lost your mind? This person isn’t even a favorite contender, just look at her current competition ranking, she was ranked over ten thousand on the first day, how could she possibly win the WGC championship? You might as well throw your money into a slum rather than bet on her!”

Hearing Kevin’s complaints and roars, Danio laughed calmly, his gaze fixed on that name:

”No, Kevin, trust me this time, this woman is the real favorite in this WGC!”

After a week of tense preliminary rounds, the WGC competition reached a fever pitch, with only four thousand out of more than forty thousand participants remaining after the selection.

The four thousand-person semifinal was still tense because there were only ten spots for major players, so the finals would be limited to fifty participants.

With an eighty to one ratio, to break through the crowd, both skill and luck were indispensable.

As Huo Sining expected, she secured a spot in the semifinals.

However, Huo Sining was ranked over 2,700th, making her inconspicuous among the more than four thousand participants.

So when receiving her entry number, no one paid attention to her, a result that greatly satisfied Huo Sining.

The preliminaries and the semifinals were completely different. Considering the participants had already gone through a week of intense competition, the organizers scheduled the semifinals to start five days later, giving the semifinalists enough time to recuperate.

Back at the hotel, Su Qingqing was somewhat dissatisfied and complained: ”Ningning, those foreigners have no vision at all, they didn’t even give you a close-up!”

When Huo Sining asked why, she found out that Su Qingqing and her friends spent the afternoon in the hotel watching the WGC live broadcast.

It makes sense, local TV stations would definitely focus on the popular contenders for major players to boost ratings during the preliminary selection.

Someone like Huo Sining, an unknown minor player, wouldn’t garner much attention from TV stations or newspapers.

Among over forty thousand participants, Huo Sining was just a pawn, getting caught on camera even briefly was already not easy.

Before the WGC even started, many newspapers had predicted this year’s major players, and there was already a rough guess for the fifty finalists. Among them, over thirty participants were already considered certain to qualify, so during the live broadcast, the TV stations naturally focused on these major players.

Yet, Su Qingqing and a few others weren’t satisfied, even Ouyang Jun, after watching the performance of those popular contenders on the live broadcast, sneered:

”These TV station people really aren’t doing their job, they didn’t even check into your background, sister-in-law, and just went ahead with their work. When it comes to the finals, they’ll definitely regret their foolish behavior now, for they’ve made such a big blunder by overlooking a gambling master like you, sister-in-law!”

Huo Sining gave Ouyang Jun a half-smile look, not taking his words seriously.

”That guy named Caesar won’t be easy to deal with.”

After watching the broadcast, both Ouyang Jun and Qin Tian were very confident about Huo Sining making it to the finals, but whether she could win the major player title was another story.

After all, many participants in this competition were no ordinary people, and among those contestants, Ouyang Jun saw a person, Windsor Caesar.

This Brit was very low-key, but Ouyang Jun had a feeling that this person’s strength was unfathomable and probably Huo Sining’s biggest rival for the championship.

Huo Sining naturally understood this as well, although she relied on the Heavenly Eye Cheating Device to be invincible in treasure appraisal, it was uncertain what situations would arise at the gambling table.

After all, gambling isn’t like raw materials and antiques, which are dead objects. The gambling tools are in the hands of the croupier, and what cards appear are not under Huo Sining’s control.

Huo Sining could only adapt to circumstances, but luck, at the end of the day, couldn’t compare to real gambling skills. Given Caesar’s more than thirty years of superb gambling skills and rich experience, even with the extraordinary cheating device in her hand, Huo Sining might not necessarily be his opponent.

But Huo Sining laughed calmly, nodding and admitting, ”You’re right, I may not necessarily win against him.”

Huo Sining was not stubborn; agreeing to the He Clan’s participation in this WGC was already beyond her plan. She didn’t have a strong demand to win the championship.

If she wins the championship, it’s a blessing, if she loses, it’s fate. If luck is really not on her side, it’s heaven’s will, and she doesn’t force it.

Just as she said this, Huo Sining’s phone rang, speak of the devil, Windsor Caesar’s call came in at the perfect time, and Huo Sining raised her eyebrows at the others before answering.

”Dear Miss Huo, I heard you made it to the semifinals, I’m really pleased, and hope we can meet at the same gambling table in the finals, I think it would be very interesting.”

Windsor Caesar spoke earnestly, without a hint of mockery or provocation.

”Mr. Windsor, thank you, it was merely luck that I barely made it to the semifinals, I’m afraid someone like you would laugh at me.” Huo Sining spoke modestly.

Windsor Caesar laughed: ”Miss Huo, you’re too modest, I believe with your ability, ordinary people are definitely not your match.”

Huo Sining did not intend to argue with Windsor Caesar on this topic and proactively asked, ”Is there something Mr. Windsor wants to discuss with me?”

”Oh dear, I almost forgot.”

Windsor Caesar said urgently: ”My father has returned, and he asked me to inquire, Miss Huo, if you have any plans these days, and if not, would you honor us with your company at our humble abode?”

Windsor’s father is back? Huo Sining’s eyes lit up: ”That’s wonderful, I was thinking whether I should visit Senior Windsor. Since the elder has invited me, I would be honored to pay a visit.”

Early the next morning, Windsor Caesar personally came to the hotel to pick her up, making Huo Sining feel a bit embarrassed.

But thinking of the unseen antiques, Huo Sining thickened her skin.

After all, she wasn’t the one eagerly currying favor, as Windsor Senior was so sensible, she wouldn’t be insensitive not to go, right?

Arriving by limo at the British Emperor Castle, the old butler and servants at the door eagerly came up to meet them: ”The gentleman has asked several times, Miss Huo is finally here.”

Entering the reception hall, a spirited old white man came up energetically, his sharp eyes appraising Huo Sining for a few moments before he smiled and nodded:

”So it is Miss Huo, haha, I must tell those old fellows that Miss Huo looks even younger in person than on TV!”
