Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1507: Chapter 1491: The Duel of Two Kings

”There’s something that everyone might not be aware of.”

”This year’s WGC, I’m competing as a substitute for Song Lifeng, known as the Song Gambling King.”

”In fact, two months ago, before anything happened to him, Miss Song Liu, Song Gambling King’s daughter, personally came to Magic Capital to find me and asked if I could participate in this year’s WGC competition.”

”I know my capabilities, luck outweighs skill, and I have no competitive experience, so I refused without hesitation.”

”Later, by a twist of fate, I ended up in Las Vegas, and at that time, Song Gambling King happened to have an accident, so I somewhat muddle-headedly took on this task as his replacement.”

”Before the competition, I never thought I could make it this far, let alone gain so much recognition and applause.”

”This crown, I can’t say I deserve it. In fact, the other nine big contenders here are all more capable than I am.”

”I, Huo Sining, managed to walk out of a small unknown village to stand on this stage today, thanks to a lot of people’s help along the way—family, friends, and many who supported me whose names I don’t even know. I thank them, for without them, there would be no Huo Sining here today.”

As she said this, Huo Sining looked sincerely at the camera and bowed deeply.

Then she turned around, glanced at Windsor Caesar beside her, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke with a slight apology:

”Although I haven’t known Caesar Emperor for long, I greatly admire him as a person. He is the most charming English nobleman I have ever met. However, I think it’s best for us to remain as the best partners.”

”I feel honored and also a bit embarrassed to receive such high praise from Caesar Emperor, as my participation in the WGC this time was purely for fun. I don’t plan to delve into the gambling competition industry in the future.”

As soon as Huo Sining said this, the entire audience was in an uproar.

Having just won the WGC crown and becoming the world’s top gambling competitor at such a young age, with her being in such a position, it seemed very likely that she could win two, three, even four consecutive WGCs in the future, and her future looked limitless.

But no one expected that at such a moment, Huo Sining would announce her retirement from the gambling competition industry. This decision was abrupt and unbelievable.

Even Windsor Caesar was shocked, staring at Huo Sining in disbelief, completely forgetting about his recent confession being rejected, looking a bit anxious, and just as he was about to speak, Huo Sining interrupted him.

”Additionally, before coming in, I mentioned to the on-site host that I have something important to announce at today’s award ceremony.”

”Taking advantage of the WGC award ceremony, I want to especially address someone. Though this person isn’t here today, I still want to say this to him.”

At this point, Huo Sining deeply gazed at the camera, curled her lips into a smile, and spoke into the microphone: ”Gu Xu, you promised to wait for me...”

The audience below was stunned, only hearing the first few words from Huo Sining, after which they saw her lips moving, but the entire venue couldn’t hear a sound.

”What did she say? Why can’t we hear anything?”

The people below looked at each other in confusion, and over there, the director team was anxious, grabbing a walkie-talkie to question the sound engineers and technicians backstage: ”What’s going on? Why is there suddenly no sound?!”

Huo Sining seemed to realize the issue as well. She looked at the host and then at the audience, her expression a mix of awkwardness and helplessness.

Having never done something so out of line before, Huo Sining was a bit embarrassed, and after finally working up the courage, she didn’t expect the award ceremony to drop the ball at such a crucial time. If she had to repeat herself, Huo Sining felt a bit embarrassed again.

She could already sense that Ouyang Jun and his group in the audience were already looking over at her, with even some playful and ambiguous expressions on their faces.

The sound engineers on stage were nervously adjusting equipment, but before the sound could be retuned, suddenly with a snap, all the lights in the venue went out, and the place instantaneously plunged into darkness.

Everyone was caught off guard, and some of the audience even started exclaiming, throwing the venue into chaos for a moment.

However, at that moment, the stage’s LED screen suddenly lit up again, and seeing this, everyone was momentarily stunned.

”Honey, don’t believe that foreigner’s sweet talk. How long have you known each other? Who knows how many ex-girlfriends this guy has! You’ve only just met him, and he’s confessing already? That’s too random!”

On the big screen, a man’s face appeared, rambling in Huaxia language, but it was clear that this was a live feed coming from an external line.

The people below were dumbfounded, completely unable to comprehend what was happening, and for a moment, the venue fell silent, with everyone lifting their heads to look at the large LED screen on stage.

Huo Sining was stunned too. Others might not recognize the person on the screen, but how could she not recognize him?

This man was the one she hadn’t been able to contact for the past month, Gu Xu.

Huo Sining was a bit dumbfounded, her mind blank, not knowing what kind of trick Gu Xu was playing for a moment.

The director team was also bewildered because this completely wasn’t part of their planned awarding segment. What on earth was going on?

”Director, our system has been hijacked. Someone has taken control, the administrators have all been kicked out!”

At this moment, a technician rushed over to report the situation to the director team.

The faces of the few director team members instantly soured when they heard this.

Huo Sining on stage also felt awkward, couldn’t help but question: ”Did you get Yu Fei to hack into the award ceremony’s mainframe to get in? What exactly are you trying to do? Do you realize this is a live broadcast, and someone might get mad at you for this later!”

The person on the big screen still blissfully oblivious, continued to talk nonsense with a serious face: ”Haha, what’s there to fear about trouble? I know this is a live broadcast, isn’t that just perfect?”

Huo Sining laughed in exasperation: ”Have you lost your mind? What exactly are you trying to do?”

Hearing Huo Sining’s impatient tone, Gu Xu’s face showed a hint of grievance:

”What can I do? What do you think I can do? I had a plan for a long time, thinking I would hack into the system during the awards to congratulate you, but who knew that foreign guy would jump in line! That guy has no manners, trying to steal my thunder. After the award ceremony, I want to duel him!”
