Chapter 428 Semi Finals

A minute passed, but the match hadn't started yet.

"There is no way an outsider can win against the underworld, who live for gambling and die for gambling! So far, you won only because of your luck, but that ends now!"

While Damian was giving his speech, Rudy was rubbing his chin on Angelica's shoulder and touching her thighs. However, to the viewers, it seemed that Rudy was shaking his head while wiping his hands.

Another minute passed, but Damian was still talking about how great he was.

Rudy looked at the dealer and said, "Can you kick him out?"

A high beat music began to play on the speakers, and the crowd cheered the gamblers.

"Mister Damian, state your betting amount," the female dealer said to Damian.

"This is a chess game! It requires skill and talent! Your luck is not going to help you!" Damian still continued his speech. "And, of course, I am going to win this match, so I bet 10 million dollars!"

Since it was a chess game that could consume a lot of time depending on how the players decided to play, only one game was allowed. Unlike in the other games, where the players could challenge infinite times until one of them gave up.

'The winning prize of this tournament is 50 million dollars, and I currently have a little more than thirty-six million dollars in my card. If this was the final match, I would have gone all out, but…'

After pondering for a while, Rudy placed his card on the table and said, "I bet twenty-five million dollars."

Of course, Rudy wasn't going to hold back. He had to live up to his title of 'Mad Gambler' and impress everyone present to gain more fame.

"Heh! You are so arrogant and confident!" Damian snickered. "As I already said, this is a chess game, and it requires skill and talent. If you think you can scare me into folding by betting a higher amount, then you are absolutely wrong!"

Damian tapped on his card and said, "I bet thirty million dollars!"

'What he said is indeed true. Games like chess and such require skill, which is why you don't find them in most of casinos. However, too bad, kid. You have no idea who you are up against.'

"Call."

Rudy let Damian play the first move, which angered Damian even more. He smashed his hand on the timer and shouted.

"I will bury you, outsider! Let me show you the wrath of a true underground gambler!"

Two minutes later, the match ended, and Damian left while crying and cursing Rudy.

"I will bury you, outsider! I will show you the wrath of a true underground gambler! You are done!" Damian yelled while he was dragged out of the stage by the guards.

SIGH!

Rudy let out a weary sigh and leaned back on his chair while Angelica leaned on him.

"Why are you sighing?" Angelica asked curiously.

"The brat wouldn't shut up…" Rudy replied in a low voice.

"You just won thirty million dollars in two minutes. Aren't you glad?"

"Of course, I am. I was wondering whether I would reach one hundred million dollars by today, but that seems possible now. No, it will happen. I already have sixty-six million dollars. No matter how much my opponent bets in the finale, the reward of winning this tournament alone is fifty million dollars."

Rudy was speaking without moving his lips, so no one suspected him. Moreover, Rudy's whispers were nothing compared to the loud music which everyone was vibing at.

The dealer handed Rudy his card and said, "You have to get up."

"I know."

He got up from his seat and asked, "Who is my next opponent?"

"The other match hasn't started yet. Please, sit on the couch and rest while the semi-finalist plays their match here," the dealer said calmly.

Rudy sat on the couch beside Maria while Angelica laid down comfortably and got a lap pillow from Rudy.

"How was my match?" Rudy asked Maria with a grin on his face.

"I had no idea you could play chess too…" Maria responded without looking at Rudy.

"That's the most basic game. And I think everyone has at least played it once in their lifetime."

"I have played it too, but I never liked it. Ruby is good at it, and she always invited me to play it with her, but I never won against her, not even once."

"That sounds like you hate chess," Rudy remarked.

"I wouldn't say I hate them, but I don't like board games."

"Why? Because they require skills?"

"Yeah. Games like chess and monopoly are not dependent on luck. I am not saying they are bad games, but it's like… not making use of something they have. Not everyone can be lucky, but most can be skilled. You can learn things and even master them if you have a talent, but no one has control over their luck," Maria stated in a calm voice.

"That's true, but if everything happens as you expect it to be, it gets boring." Rudy shrugged his shoulders and said, "Everyone needs a slice of spice in life."

"Would you say the same thing if your plan flopped or it didn't go according to your expectation?" Angelica suddenly quipped.

"..."

"Heh. I thought you like a slice of spice in life," she remarked with a smirk.

Rudy pressed Angelica's face onto his crotch to shut her up, but Angelica began sniffing him.

"..." Rudy shook his head in disbelief and thought, 'I should have expected this from a pervert.'

"Say…" Angelica licked her lips and said, "Wouldn't it be exciting if I unzip your pants and free your little brother?"

'Don't you dare!'

"I will suck it too," she said with a grin on her face. "You like when my mouth is stuffed with your dick, right?"

'Stop!' Rudy stopped Angelica by pressing her breasts. And surprisingly, she stopped.

"I will let you off the hook for now."
