Female Novel
Chapter 1750
Chapter 1750 While he was filled with resentment, the truth remained that he had lost, so he couldn’t just burst intoanger. What more, if he flew into a rage now, Xanry was worried that the others would start claimingthat he wasn’t wealthy enough to play the game, and that was a form of humiliation he never wanted toexperience.
He had just lost two hundred and twenty-five dollars. It wasn’t much to him, so he could surely still goon…!
Believing that Xanry wouldn’t want to continue playing after suffering so many losses, Gerald thenlooked at him before asking, “Are you going to play more, monitor?”
“But of course! Let’s resume!” declared Xanry. At his current state, it was clear that Xanry had thetemperament typical of a gambler. Unless he won against Gerald, he wouldn’t be able to rest easy.
Not that Gerald was complaining, of course. He wanted to see how much more Xanry could take.
“Very well then, monitor! However, since you suggested the previous game, I think it’s high time Isuggested my own. What do you say we switch it up a little?” asked Gerald.
Upon hearing that, Xanry—who was sure that he would be able to defeat Gerald no matter what gamehe wanted to play—then said, “I accept! Do share the details of the game!”
“It’s quite simple, really. We’ll both have five dice each, and we’ll have to guess the points of ouropponent’s dice. For example, if you guess close to the number of points I have, then you’ll win. Withmy loss, I’ll have to pay you the difference in points between the actual points and the amount youguessed, with each point symbolizing fifteen dollars. What do you think?” explained Gerald.
Finding Gerald’s game intriguing, Xanry quickly replied, “Agreed! Let’s go with this then!”
For a person who enjoyed gambling, they’d surely end up getting addicted extremely quickly with suchhigh-risk high-reward games. If it wasn’t already obvious enough, Xanry was such a person, and hewas truly unfortunate that Gerald was his opponent.
Regardless, both of them quickly picked their dice up and began shaking…
The second they stopped, Gerald turned to face Xanry before saying, “After you!”
Hearing that, Xanry instantly went with a high value, stating, “Twenty-five points!”
Gerald himself replied, “A high guess! Well, I guess that you have nineteen!”
Though Gerald knew the exact points Xanry currently had, he couldn’t just reveal that number. WhileGerald had to always make sure he was a few points above or below Xanry’s score, he was certainthat he’d still be able to take Xanry down.
Whatever the case was, now that the values had been shouted out, both of them displayed their dicefor each other to see… revealing twenty points on Gerald’s side and sixteen on Xanry’s side.
This meant that Gerald had won this round since Gerald’s guess was only three points short of whatXanry had rolled whereas Xanry was five points short.
Smiling, Gerald then looked at Xanry before saying, “Well, guess I’ve won! Time to pay up, monitor!”
Now feeling gloomier than before, Xanry realized that Gerald must be experienced in the game. Itcertainly explained why Gerald had chosen this specific game to play with him.novelbin
Still, now that they were already in the middle of the game, there was no way he was going to suddenlyask for it to stop. Doing so would only end up humiliating him, and for Xanry, his dignity and pride wereabove all else. With that in mind, he handed yet another seventy-five dollars to Gerald.
While it was true that he was rich, his heart still ached to have to hand Gerald that money. After all,though the money he had lost was nothing particularly noteworthy to him, the fact remained that hehadn’t won a single cent from Gerald. Xanry had simply been losing money this entire time!
Gerald himself couldn’t really be blamed. After all, Xanry was the one who had wanted to continueplaying this entire time. Xanry was simply reaping what he had sown for continually trying to offendGerald.
Regardless, now that this round was over, Gerald then looked at Xanry before asking, “So, one moreround, monitor?”
After suffering so many losses, Xanry certainly didn’t want to stick around anymore.
By this point, he knew that Gerald had some hidden ability that had been allowing him to win so manytimes in a row. Xanry had also become aware that Gerald had simply been pretending to be weak thisentire time. With that in mind, it made sense that him constantly looking down on Gerald would lead tosuch an outcome!
