The steward glanced at the rough stones on the table and said, "These four rough stones would cost 1,080 yuan stones, but since you are a friend of the prince, we'll round it down and you can buy them for 1,000 yuan stones."
How could we not take advantage of such a good opportunity to sell the Lion Prince?
Zu'an, however, was in no hurry to agree. Instead, he pretended to examine the stones on other tables, while saying to Banka, Heichigu, and the others, "Would you all be interested in making a bet with us? If the rough stone we selected with 1,000 yuan stones doesn't turn out well, we'll compensate you with 1,000 yuan stones. If the rough stone really contains something, you'll compensate us on a one-to-one basis, whatever the contents are worth. How about it?"
Banka snorted: "If you lose, you'll have to pay 1,000, which isn't even given to you by us."
"What, you're too scared to gamble?" Zuan mocked.
Banka hesitated, the risk was far too uncontrollable, and he was about to refuse when Black Tooth said, "Fine, I'll bet with you."
The First Clan
Unlike outsiders like Banka, he had lived in the royal court for a long time and was naturally familiar with the situation in Biyuan.
The raw stones in the yellow-rated rooms are not expensive, so the chance of getting anything good from them is very small. Even if you do occasionally get something good, it won't be very valuable, and the risk is within a controllable range.
Therefore, the probability of winning is quite high, but this group of people only have a little over a hundred yuan stones. Where will they get a thousand yuan stones to pay out?
With the snake clan as his backer, he wasn't afraid of them defaulting on their debts. He could take this opportunity to thoroughly humiliate them.
Banka had just played with Heichigu and knew that the guy was very cunning, the kind who wouldn't act until he saw the benefit. Since he had already agreed, there was no need for Banka to be afraid.
If the other party loses and can't pay up, that's fine too. Queen Medusa is so beautiful, she can just pay with her body.
Thinking of this, his breathing quickened: "I'll gamble too!"
Many people in the room were also very tempted. Having been around here for a long time, they naturally knew how small the chances were of actually getting something. It would be foolish not to take advantage of such a sure-fire way to make money.
Anyway, the snake clan chief can't possibly renege on his debt, right?
So everyone started clamoring to join.
“This is too much. What if we lose…” Zuan looked troubled.
Yun Jianyue's lips curled up. This guy's expression definitely means he's planning to trick someone again. It's a real pity he's not in my Holy Cult.
However, the image of being seen naked by the other party that day suddenly flashed into her mind, and the smile on her face froze instantly.
Hmph, if this guy had really joined the Holy Church, I would have thrown him into fertilizer long ago.
Yan Xuehen found it rather strange. He used to think this guy was very annoying because he was glib and slick, but now he realized that was just a mask to hide his true self. In reality, he was quite calm and collected, leading the other party into a trap step by step without them even realizing it. His mental fortitude was truly admirable.
Suddenly, her face stiffened, because she realized that she might also be being schemed against by him.
Already?
At this moment, the others, fearing that he might change his mind, hurriedly said, "It's alright, it's not like you have to pay it back on the spot. The snake clan is such a large clan, we don't need to worry about you not being able to pay it back."
"Exactly, if you win, think of how much you'll win. Just imagining it would be a wonderful story."
“Yes, I think I heard a merchant who came back from the human race’s Bright Moon City mention that there was a young man there who won millions back with just a few dozen taels of silver. You might be the next one.”
...
Yan Xuehen and the other women looked at each other strangely; this whole thing sounded so familiar.
Zu An pretended to be surprised and hurriedly ran to Yu Yanluo's side to persuade her. Everyone could even hear him trying to convince Yu Yanluo to agree.
Everyone sneered inwardly. As expected, they were blinded by greed, only thinking about how much they could earn, but never considering how much they would lose if they lost.
Yu Yanluo pretended to be hesitant, but finally nodded slightly: "Alright, let's take the gamble."
Hearing her agree, everyone was relieved, because in their eyes, Queen Medusa was the one in charge.
At this moment, Zu'an looked at Shimin again: "Third Prince, do you want to come?"
Shi Min smiled and said, "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I'll join in too."
Lion Rong and Lion Gong chimed in, "Count us in too."
Zuan was taken aback. He thought Zuan would refuse, since he had chosen those four stones. If Zuan knew there was something inside, wouldn't he be jumping into a trap?
However, he quickly stopped thinking about it. Whatever his plans, he would deal with whatever came his way.
He said to the butler standing beside him, "I would like to trouble you to be my witness."
With so many people involved, it's impossible for him to draw up any written agreements or anything like that.
The butler nodded: "Don't worry, no one dares to break a fair bet made in Biyuan."
There was a hint of arrogance in her tone. Perhaps Biyuan couldn't afford to offend some of the nobles in the Heavenly or even Immortal classes, but they were confident that they could handle these people in the Yellow class.
The only troublesome ones are the princes of the Lion Clan, but they were the ones who brought these people, and they agreed to the bet themselves, so they probably won't go back on their word.
"Alright, have you made your choices yet?" Banka asked impatiently.
Yu Yanluo ignored him and slowly walked around the hall, observing her surroundings. She was worried that Shi Min might be up to something, and decided to choose for herself if she wasn't comfortable with it.
Seeing her skirt sway slightly, her graceful figure captivating, and her focused and exquisite profile as she examined the rough stone, the hall fell silent involuntarily, as if afraid of disturbing her.
Even though many of them were gambling with her on stones, they didn't say anything at this moment, but just greedily admired her stunning beauty.
