Chapter 3278 First Win
“I’ve decided. Let’s play the 24 Game.”
Herman was full of confidence and his eyes were gleaming as if he had won the lottery.
At the gaming table, Megan felt slightly amused as she observed Herman at the side. She could see a mixture of anticipation and fear in the man’s eyes. It seemed like he was very attracted to the risk-taking nature of gambling.
The dealer had hyped up the atmosphere at the table and everyone had their eyes on her hands as she dealt the cards, while feeling a rush of adrenaline.
“All the cards have been dealt,” the dealer announced.
Herman’s pupils constricted as he lifted the corner of his cards. The total of all his cards was just fourteen.
Megan raised her brows as she turned her gaze towards Herman and saw his conflicted, and excited expression. She no longer cared about that fifty thousand.
At that moment, other than winning, that man could no longer think about anything else. He had already gotten addicted and was on the road to no return.
Indeed, it was impossible for Herman to stop there. He kept requesting more cards and soon, it was time to reveal the cards.
For someone like Herman who was new to gambling, his addiction to gambling would only grow if he kept winning, as he enjoyed the feeling of effortless gain.
“Ah! I won! Megan, these are all my winnings!” the man exclaimed.
The surrounding crowd was not surprised at the results when the cards were revealed. However, as it was Herman’s first time at the gambling table, he bolted up from the chair excitedly and swept all the chips towards himself.
The other gamblers who were at the table felt slightly uneasy at the sight and exchanged looks with one another while glancing at their own cards dejectedly.
Megan let out a faint smile. At that instant, Herman looked nothing like the dashing and elegant gentleman on screen. He was no different from a madman who was enjoying the taste of victory without any restraint.
