Chapter 168: A Choice

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ning Sheng didn’t have a high chance of winning because she didn’t know how to play cards.

And she didn’t understand the rules either.

“Let’s talk about what choice I’ll have to make first.” She wanted to see if she could bear the consequences of those choices before agreeing.

There seemed to be a moment of silence from the man on the other side, and finally, he relented, “Miss Ning, if you lose, you’ll have to choose one of your two friends and leave him with me, and you can leave with your other friend.” “And then?” Ning Sheng sneered when she heard this.

“And then, it’s simple. In our line of business, we usually do crazy things. We can easily make money by selling the corneas and organs of the person being left behind.” The man’s voice was still gentle like a spring breeze, but his words were chilling.

When Ning Sheng heard this, a chill ran down her spine.’T’m not playing anymore.”

The capital was a place governed by law. Even if it was an underground casino that didn’t operate openly, they shouldn’t treat their guests like this, let alone subject them to such cruel treatment.

“Darling, gambling is like performing on stage. Once it begins, there’s no reason to stop.” The man seemed to laugh a little, finding Ning Sheng naive, but his voice was still annoyingly pleasant.

He looked down at Ning Sheng’s hesitation and conflict.

“We’ll return all the money we’ve earned to you. We won’t play this game,” Ning Sheng glanced at Ye Nan Si and noticed his cold expression, completely devoid of the playful and smiling face from before. The same went for Lu He. They didn’t show any signs of fear; instead, they appeared calmer than usual.

The man in the tuxedo said, “Miss Ning, it’s just a game, don’t be afraid. Even if you lose, you won’t suffer any loss. If you win, not only can you take your people away, but you’ll also receive a global pass to our underground casino, as well as $5 million US dollars prepared by our boss.”

This was the reward for winning.

But if she lost, she would have to give up one person.

She felt that she couldn’t afford to pay such a price.

“Have you made up your mind?” the man asked.

Ning Sheng didn’t speak.

Ye Nan Si spoke indifferently, “Miss, don’t be afraid, go ahead and play.”

Lu He nodded. “Miss Ning Sheng, don’t be afraid, just play.”

No matter which one of them was left behind, they believed it would be fine.

Ye Nan Si actually felt a little guilty. If it weren’t for his love of gambling, they wouldn’t have come to the underground casino, and Ning Sheng wouldn’t have faced such a choice. Moreover, he had never heard of this so-called owner of the underground casino before.

Ning Sheng took a deep breath. There was no escape.

Since that was the case, then let’s do it.

The man in the tuxedo shuffled the cards, looked at Ning Sheng, and then dealt cards to her and the person behind the curtain. After dealing three cards, he called for a stop. Ning Sheng glanced at her cards. She didn’t understand the rules very well. Was it about comparing the values?

“Miss Ning, do you need more cards?” the man asked, while also flipping through his own cards. He revealed two cards—one Queen of Clubs, one King of Hearts, and one yet to be revealed.

Seeing his action, Ning Sheng revealed two of her cards in response, a Four of Hearts and a Six of Hearts. Compared to the cards the man revealed, they were simply not worth mentioning.

She remained calm, not fully understanding the specifics.

She only saw the man in the tuxedo continue dealing two more cards.

“Miss Ning, the cards have all been dealt. If you lose, there’s a good chance you won’t see one of your friends again.” the man said with a faint smile. His cold words, spoken with such a pleasant voice, were even more piercing.

Ning Sheng replied, “We don’t know the outcome yet. I haven’t lost..”
