Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1889: Chapter 1792: Casting a Long Line to Catch a Big Fish

Huo Sining knew very well that the reason Princess Semya kept seeking her out for gambling was probably because she was holding a grudge, and thus stubbornly wanted to win back a round from her.

If she didn’t give Princess Semya a bit of an advantage to keep her interested, then the little princess might just throw the dice and leave, refusing to continue playing.

That’s why Huo Sining intentionally lost this round, because she realized that in this dice game, every minute was about hundreds of thousands of dollars; this business was far easier than making money from betting on stones.

Gu Xu, knowing his wife’s skills, clearly understood why Huo Sining lost this round. He couldn’t help but look over at his wife. Seeing the cunning fox-like light in her eyes, he raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, feeling a twinge of sympathy for Princess Semya.

What to do now? His wife was having fun, and soon Princess Semya might be played to tears by her.

In the next few rounds, Huo Sining continued to lose, losing four or five rounds in a row. The small amount of winning she previously accumulated mostly returned to Princess Semya.

At this moment, even Huo Sining’s eyes faintly showed some irritation, which she concealed well, but Princess Semya still caught it.

This put Princess Semya in high spirits and secretly delighted, thinking that this dice listening game was indeed a weakness for the woman named Huo; winning so many rounds before was purely luck, but once the rules changed, she was exposed!

Seeing this situation, Princess Semya felt confident and even thought that a million per round was a bit too small, completely not exciting enough.

With this in mind, feeling proud, Princess Semya couldn’t help but voice a new idea, speaking to provoke Huo Sining:

”Miss Huo, playing at a million per round is not exciting enough. Why don’t we play bigger, ten million per round? Otherwise, at a million per round, when will it ever end?”

Huo Sining was stunned upon hearing this, and sighed privately.

She had only shown a little hint, and Princess Semya was already fooled; truly... simple and easy to deceive.

Though she intended to set a long-term bait to trap Semya and then propose increasing the stakes at the appropriate moment, even her boldest plan was just to raise to two or three million per round; who could have expected Princess Semya to be so straightforward, proposing ten million right away!

The bar owner almost collapsed upon hearing this number.

Others were likewise shocked by the figure proposed by Princess Semya.

Even Huo Sining felt that ten million was somewhat high, because this wasn’t Huaxia currency, but real US dollars; ten million meant losing nearly half a billion in just one round.

Huo Sining showed a trace of hesitation, not because she feared losing, but worried that Princess Semya couldn’t handle it.

However, Princess Semya saw Huo Sining’s hesitation as fear and timidity, thinking she’d found Huo’s weakness, further emboldened, she couldn’t resist provoking further:

”Why, it’s just ten million, Miss Huo, are you scared now? If you can’t afford to lose, just admit it, and we can end today’s gambling here. You merely need to announce publicly that you, Huo Sining, gambled with me, Semya, today, and lost. Then I won’t hold it against you, how about it?”

Huo Sining laughed at these words and sat down directly, picking up a pen to gracefully sign her name on the blank check:

”Here’s ten million, let’s continue!”

Princess Semya rejoiced, sitting down immediately and laughing: ”Well, Miss Huo is indeed straightforward!”

”Miss, this is no joke, you are betting too high, small gambling is entertaining but large ones harm, if the young master finds out, I won’t know how to explain to him!”

The bar owner was so anxious he was almost crying, as he foresaw that if this matter got out and was known to the young master, he’d be in deep trouble!

”Stop your nonsense, just do your job as a referee. Since when is it your place to comment on my affairs? If you don’t talk, and I don’t, how would my brother know?”

Princess Semya impatiently snapped at the bar owner and then turned to say to Windsor Caesar without looking back: ”Continue throwing the dice!”

However, Princess Semya did not foresee that the wind of luck in the casino would switch, and in the next several rounds, Huo Sining lost only once with her guesses. On the contrary, Princess Semya occasionally missed some subtle sounds or made calculation errors during her mental arithmetic; among the dozen rounds, she only guessed correctly half of them, resulting in her losing heavily.

When losing her sixth ten-million chip, Princess Semya’s face grew increasingly grim. She even took off her outer garment and continuously gulped water from the cup in front of her.

She was very restless because after changing the stakes, barely twenty minutes had passed, and if this trend continued, her hundred-million chip wouldn’t last her half an hour.

Huo Sining seemed to have noticed Princess Semya’s retreat, so she subtly let down her guard in the following gambling rounds.

As a result, Princess Semya experienced a bit of luck, winning back two rounds and recovering twenty million.

However, this good fortune didn’t last; just when she was happy with her change in luck, after a round where both guessed wrong, her luck started to worsen again. She lost another four rounds, squared down the recovered twenty million, and the remaining forty million began to dwindle.

This gamble could be said to be full of unexpected developments, leaving people with no time to react—watching was both terrifying and astonishing.

The bar owner, pale as a ghost, understood he was beyond help, so he no longer intended to persuade Princess Semya to stop, merely watching the shifts of the gambling table with a vacant stare, mechanically determining outcomes.

Everyone could see that in this gamble, Huo Sining was assured of victory because her luck consistently surpassed Princess Semya’s, even if she occasionally guessed wrong, she would win most of the time.
