A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 521

At a casino in Las Vegas.

Inside a VIP room, a lady dressed fully in white sat at the gambling tables. Beside her was a stockpile full of chips, evidently won by the lady.

She wore a huge oversized cap that concealed her long hair inside. She had an oversized T-shirt that reached her knees, paired with short grey jeans with two holes, and a pair of white sneakers.

She stood out with her way of dress in the casino, but she was at the gambling table, with a huge smile on her face. Her eyes darted around full of ease. She looked at the Caucasian across from her and said, “You got no more chips! Are you going to bet?”

The man across from her grumbled, “I’ll bet, just hold on, I’ll go get some more chips!”

The girl flaunted her hands and said, “Tomorrow, I don't have time to wait for you!”

The man became alerted and threw a stare, “Trying to leave?”

The girl was a bit taken aback. She blinked her eyes, then laughed as she said, “What, are you going to hit me? I’m so scared! What should I do?”

The man was stunned; she looked like an innocent angel, but somehow, she had won all his chips.

While he was still stunned, she still beamed a huge smile, “Word of advice; with your stubbornness to try to win, you won’t ever win me, not in ten years!”

Suddenly, the VIP room’s doors swung open; everyone glanced in that direction.

A dozen men stood at the door, with the leader in front dressed in a white tuxedo.

The girl looked over as well, only to catch a glimpse of the top of the man’s hair. A group of bodyguards followed behind him, and the man arrived at the girl’s gambling table. A cold air briefly blew by, before the man sat down across from the girl.

The girl took a glance at the man; his tall figure was quite muscular. While she was considering him, the man’s eagle-like eyes also darted in her direction.

His eyes were like a bottomless abyss. There wasn’t a trace of emotion on his face, other than a cold, blank expression, as though he was made of stone.

The girl blinked a few times; so he’s not too bad looking, but he’s not as handsome as Hudson! She instructed the bodyguard beside her, “Lance, tell the owner that we’re donating these chips to the Red Cross. Time to get going! I’m tired, gonna take a nap when I get home!”

She yawned a few times and stood up, preparing to leave!

Suddenly, Elijah looked around; donate all her chips?

What a generous girl! The corner of his lips angled upward; if one didn’t master money, even if that person had a ton of money, there was no way they could become a pro at gambling.

Elijah squinted his eyes, making his face look even gloomier. This stare seemed to captivate the girl, making her unable to look away and stare straight on at Elijah.

“Miss, how about you play a few rounds with Mr. Perry?” The casino’s manager came over and asked, “Mr. Perry is quite a pro; he’d never lost before, so he earned the nickname of ‘God of Gambling’.”

The girl raised an eyebrow and laughed slightly; she pursed her puffy red lips and sized up the cold man sitting across from her. She blinked a few times, then said, “Nah, I’m heading home!”

“Miss!” The manager was getting anxious.

“Sorry.” The girl shrugged and turned around.

“Hold on!” An icy, deep tone rang out behind her. Elijah’s voice even sounded like ice that pierced through the air, with a hint of provocation. “Is the lady afraid?”

The girl chuckled, “Sir, is there a need to taunt me like this? I’m not going to gamble!”

This was the first girl Elijah had met who had a keen insight. “Hm, is that so; I won’t pressure you, then! Please!”

“You can’t leave!” The Caucasian that had lost all the chips suddenly jumped out and blocked the girl’s path. “I’m not done with you yet, don’t you leave!”

The girl lowered her head, then quickly popped her head back up with a brilliant smile that was even brighter than the sun; but the words out of her mouth were, “Hehe, I’m leaving, whether you like it or not!”

“Miss, leave it to me!” Lance tugged the girl and moved her behind him, “Sir, if you can’t handle the loss, then don’t gamble!”

“Someone, come quick!” Seeing a bodyguard jump out, the Caucasian called his own cavalry, and a dozen men suddenly rushed to the spot and surrounded the girl and her bodyguard.

The girl widened her eyes, but she wasn’t afraid; she just frowned, and said in an irritated manner, “If you can’t stand a little loss, how can you possibly win big? You wanted to hit me, but I was afraid you’d get your clothes dirty, so I politely asked to leave. Besides, I don’t want you to lose your entire life’s savings here. How disgraceful that’d be for you!”

“You—” Her words made the Caucasian at a loss for words.

At this moment, Elijah waved his hands, and his bodyguards also rushed over to suppress his men. In mere seconds, the tables had turned!

The girl was taken aback; she didn’t expect this man to help her out.

She turned around and glanced at the cold man sitting by the table, who was smoking.

“Let the girl go!” Elijah said chillingly, which made the casino manager shiver.

Under the circumstances, the Caucasian could tell the odds were against him. The man at the table looked like a predator staring down his prey; there was an abnormal and deadly aura from him.

“Fine, leave!” The Caucasian unwillingly said as he lowered his head.

The girl suddenly smiled, and said to Elijah, “I don’t like to owe people favors. Didn’t you want to go a few rounds? Think of it as paying back! How about it?”

Elijah raised an eyebrow; a light flickered in his dark eyes, then returned to the deathly gaze. His lips slowly parted, and he uttered a few cold, bitter words, “You can’t afford the buy-in!”
