Kingsley looked at the three dice in the glass dice cup and nodded. “I see. Let’s start.”
“Alright, Mr. Nicholson,” Sienna replied softly before picking up a reddish-brown wooden lid and tightly
closing the glass dice cup.
Click!
Then, she fastened the lid to the base with a gold buckle.
Clack!
Clack!
Clack!
She pressed the handle three times in a row, and the dice hit against the glass cover, making a clicking
sound.
At the same time, Kingsley’s ears twitched slightly…
After a while, everyone heard a ring.
Ding!
The sign on the table lit up, and the words, ‘Place Your Bet’ glowed impressively.
Sienna smiled and spoke sweetly, “Mr. Nicholson, you may place your bet.”
Kingsley turned to look at Paige with a light smile. “Do you want to bet on big or small?”
“You’re letting me choose?”

Excitement filled her childish face.
She had only seen her cousin play a few times before; this was the first time she played alone!
“I choose…big?”
Yet, he shook his head slightly. “I think it’ll be small.”
As he said that, he threw a handful of chips and said lightly, “I’ll bet on small.”
“Hmph! Then why are you still asking me if you’ve made up your mind?!” Paige pouted. “I think you’ll
lose! Hmph!”
A small smile crept onto Kingsley’s face. “I’m just trying to improve your intuition.”
“Hmph! I think you’re just teasing me.” She crossed her arms before her chest and said huffily.
“You’re flirting with the croupier all this while; don’t think that I didn’t notice! I almost forgot that you’re a
flirt, a player!”
Once he heard her rebuke, he rubbed his brows helplessly. “My dear Paige, didn’t we agree just now if
I taught Eric a lesson, you wouldn’t mention what happened that day?”
“Hmph! Did I? I don’t remember!” She rebuked.
When Rhys heard her tone getting higher, he quickly took a step forward and interjected, “Mr.
Nicholson, you’ve bet 230,000 on small, right?”
Kingsley nodded, then glanced at the people around him. “Are you guys not going to bet?”
Everyone waved their hands and said, “No, no, no. We won’t interrupt your fun!”
“Yeah! I only bought 500,000 chips today. It’ll be gone after two rounds with you!”
“That’s right. You go ahead, Mr. Nichilson. We’ll watch you play!”
As Sienna saw that no one placed any more bets, she rang the bell on the table and announced softly,
“Open!”
Finally, she opened the lid and slowly lifted the dice cup.
“Two, five, six. 13. Big wins!”
At that instant, everyone craned their necks to look at the dice in the cup.
Sure enough, the three dice were two, five, and six, respectively!
The crowd began to look at each other and whispered, “This… He just lost 230,000 in a round.
Ouch…”
“He has 10 million chips! So what if he lost? This is nothing to him!”
“Having said that, it seems like…Mr. Nicholson’s luck isn’t too good…”
Paige scrunched up her nose when she heard the whispers of the people around. “Hmph! I told you!
You really lost! You’re cursed!”
The smile on Kingsley’s face grew. “Yes, you’re right, my lady. You’re a psychic.”
There was a mysterious tinge to his smile.

As a matter of fact, it was!
He had learned all sorts of gambling techniques from his godfather and knew how to count dice very
well.
As soon as the dice rolled just now, he knew the points!
The reason why he deliberately bet on small to lose was to bait Xanxus out of hiding, step by step.
After a while, the second round started.
Kingsley threw around 20 to 30 chips on the table and said lightly, “This time, I’ll bet on big.”
After the dice were rolled, he lost again, as expected.
Sienna announced the result elegantly,” One, two, five. Eight points. Small wins!”
At this point, Paige turned away; she didn’t even want to look at the game any longer!
She even muttered under her breath, “Hmph! Stupid idiot! Unlucky dog! And just when I thought you
were smart too!”
Unfortunately, it wasn’t just Paige; the onlookers were also whispering to each other.
“How unlucky can he be? He just lost two games in a row!”
“Yeah. In only a few minutes, he almost lost a million!”
At this time, someone from the crowd said, “What if…we bet against him in the next round? Wouldn’t
we win, then?”
