Chapter 164Yvette was really firm, saying, “No way! I need this to turn my life around; I can’t let it go!”Lago was clearly frustrated. He said, “Foolish! What’s the point of getting into the entertainment industry? You’ll just end up putting yourself out there and trying to please everyone on camera. Cash out your money. If anything happens to the Nelson family, you can still count on us!”Yvette laughed coldly and replied, “I only rely on myself. Then she hung up on him before he could say anything else.Lago was left feeling really annoyed. A staff member at the exchange window looked at him and asked, “Mr. Smith, do you still want to exchange?”Lago gritted his teeth and just walked away, scowling. Someone behind him muttered, “Penny-pincher.” Lago turned around, took off his gold watch, and slammed it down on the counter, saying, “Cash out!”A little while later, Lago was wandering through the fancy casing. He watched the gamblers at the tables-some were celebrating their wins while others were sulking over their losses, their faces showing all kinds of emotions.He was holding a stack of chips he had grabbed in a moment of impulse, but he hesitated. That gold watch was his last valuable thing, if he lost it, he’d have nothing left.Feeling down, Lago was about to leave when he heard a commotion by the back door. A group of security guards was beating up a young guy who was curled up on the ground, trying to protect himself.Stop pretending you’re innocent, you little brat! You’re always winning; if you’re not cheating, then who is?” one guard yelled. Another added, “How dare you come here to swindle us? We’ll finish you off!” After letting out their anger, the guards finally left. The guy lay there motionless for a long time.Lago noticed him and walked over. He looked at the man’s dirty clothes and extended a hand, asking softly. “Are you alright!” sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ƒ)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.The guy slowly lifted his head, revealing a face covered in dirt and blood, making him look unrecognizable. His eyes were full of humility and caution, like a scared bird.Lago smiled kindly and pulled out a pack of tissues from his pocket, offering it to him. “Here, wipe yourself off.” The guy mered a thank you as he took the tissues.I studied him and sighed, “You seem like you’ve had a rough time. In this casino, winning and losing is all about skill. How can they call you a cheat just because you win a lot? The house is too harsh!” The guy looked down while wiping his face and said softly, I’m not cheating, I just know how to win.”His voice was so quiet that if Lago hadn’t been leaning in, he might have missed it. Lago’s eyes lit up. “What did you say?”Lago cautiously glanced around before squatting down in front of the man, his eyes showing an undeniable gleam of greed. You know how to win?”The guy nodded earnestly. “Yeah, I studied math and finance; there are a lot of things you can figure out.”Lago’s face brightened, but then he hesitated, asking. “If you’re so good, how did you end up in this situation?”The guy’s expression turned sad. “I can’t find work.”He continued, “I was tricked into going to Belaris, where I was held captive and forced to do bad things… I eventually got rescued and came back home, but now I have a criminal record, and no one will hire me.” 08-28 Fri, Nov 1Chapter 16494%ΠHe added, “I graduated with two bachelor’s degrees from Crescentville University; you’ve heard of it, right?” His tone turned nostalgic, and a bitter smile crossed his lips. “I went through some dark times, but I never thought coming home would bring even more trouble.” Lago, feeling sympathetic, asked. “What kind of difficulties are you facing?”The guy replied, “My family is really sick and needs a lot of money for treatment, but I can’t find a stable job, so I’m stuck doing menial work…”He curled up, hugging his knees in despair. “Why is fate so unfair to me? I could have had a better life, a bright future. Even the fortune-teller my parents consulted said I’d be prosperous; they were all frauds!”He continued, “My knowledge is useless. I came to the casino for the first time with $300. I’m not greedy; if I could win $150,000, that would cover half a year’s treatment! But before I could collect my winnings, I got thrown out.. How can I ever get rich now?”Lago felt a rush of excitement at the thought of turning $300 into $150,000. With $30,000 on hand, he could turn that into $1.3 million.”Calm down”” Lago said suddenly, trying to comfort him. “It’s your first time here; it’s normal to attract attention after winning a lotThe guy looked up, confused. “Is that how it works? No wonderLago gave him a friendly smile. “You can’t just win; you have to lose some too to avoid raising suspicion.”1The guy exclaimed. “I have no experience; I didn’t think it would be like this. I’m not clever enough; I’ve been so foolish He lamented, hitting his own head in frustrationLago quickly jumped in, worried about his state. This guy could be a real gem; Lago couldn’t let him get hurt.Lago said. “I’m just here for some fun, but seeing you like this really makes me feel for you. I’ll help you out!”Gideon looked at him in surprise. “You… will help me?” Lago handed his jacket to Gideon and led him back into the casino “Gideon, what game are you good at?”Gideon said, “High or low; that’s the easy one. They walked over to the gambling table, where the dealer was rolling the dice. and everyone was placing their bets. Lago stayed still, looking at Gideon.deon quietly said. “Choose high, bet on five, five, two.”As the betting time ended, the dealer revealed the results-Five, five, two-high.Lago’s eyes widened with excitement. He thought, ‘Did I found a real treasure?”Without thinking twice, he placed bets based on Gideon’s predictions. At first, he bet hundreds, but soon he was betting in the thousands.Eventually, Lago, being careful not to overdo it, decided to leave the casino after winning forty thousand, feeling completely satisfied SEND GIFT
