Chapter 510 Discerning Human Nature
The Understated Dragon Lord
The gamblers at the table hadn't noticed the dealer named Manly's troubled look. Manly had been
sure the country boy wouldn't dare to bet on Any Triple again after his initial lucky win, so she shook
another Any Triple, intending to sweep the table clean of bets. To her dismay, Danny stubbornly
placed the same bet again.
Lily, observant as always, caught the subtle change in Manlyâs expression and felt certain Danny
had won again. This idiotic country boy seemed to have the knack for reading people. She didn't
know, however, what his strategy would be for the third round.
True enough, when the cage opened, it revealed three threesâan Any Triple. Everyone except for
Danny and Lily was shocked.
"How is it Any Triple again?"
"Darn it! Two Any Triples in a row? Thatâs just too fantastical!"
"This guy's luck is off the charts! With just two bets, his hundred bucks has turned into a million."
"So what if heâs gotten lucky twice? He's bound to lose the third one."
The chatter among the crowd continued for a good while. Eventually, as their comments died down,
Manly looked at Danny again with a feigned smile, âLucky guy, youâve won two in a row! Maybe you
should quit while you're ahead and not play a third round?â
Of course, Manly wanted Danny to play againâit was her way of luring him deeper into the game.
âWhy should I quit now? I should strike while the iron's hot and win a few more rounds!â
"Brave guy, do you dare to bet all your winnings on the next round? If you bet your million on Any
Triple, you could win a hundred million!â
Manly was all but seducing Danny into her trap. She controlled the dice in the cageâshe could
shake a high, a low, even an Any Triple if she wanted.
"Of course, Iâll bet the million. Iâve been lucky; Iâve won every round,â Danny responded cheerfully.
What he would bet on wasn't decided yet, of course. Heâd wait until Manly finished shaking the dice
and heâd seen the outcome before deciding because Danny's eyes could see through the cage.
No matter what Manly rolled, a mere glance was all it took for Danny to know whether it was high,
low, or Any Triple.
Manly picked up the cage again and gave it another shake. Shortly after, it came to rest on the
table. Because Any Triple had come up twice in a row, the gamblers were now wholly riled up in
excitement, and some of them had piled a significant amount of chips on Any Triple.
Danny scanned the chips on the table, then glanced at the dice in the cage, and confidently tossed
his million onto the field for low. His decision shocked everyone around.
"The country boy is betting on low now? Heâs not betting on Any Triple anymore?"
"Just a coward afraid to lose! And here I thought he had the guts to keep betting on Any Triple!"
"This round is definitely going to be Any Triple, a hundred percent! If it's not Any Triple this time, I'll
eat my hat!"
"Once thereâs a second, thereâll be a third. This table tonight will see many Any Triples, making up
for all the missed ones in a thousand years."
