The Ex-Con Who Conquered the World novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159 Revealing Three Sixes

Damian watched the back-and-forth for a while, eventually getting bored.

He’s definitely a rookie.

When Stefan first brought up squeezing the casino for money, Damian had braced for some kind of hustle. But now?

Yeah, I was overthinking it.

With Stefan only playing for a million dollars in chips, Damian had no interest in sticking around.

He was about to make an excuse to leave when Stefan spoke up.

“I’m getting a feel for it now,” Stefan said. “Next round, I’m going all in.”

That got Damian’s attention. He shot a subtle glance at Yasmin.

She caught it, offering a tiny nod. Then she shook the dice cup with a smile.

Stefan smiled slightly.

Took long enough. Finally took the bait.

A million-dollar bet. For the house, the dream is a triple-specifically, all ones or all sixes.

Cleans the board on every bet type.

Unless someone bets on “Any Triple” or a specific triple like “Three Sixes.”

“So, Mr. Bryant,” Damian asked, “what’s it going to be?”

Stefan blew out a ring of smoke. “I’ll put the whole million dollars on three sixes.”

He slid the stack onto the designated spot.

For a split second, Yasmin’s smile froze. Stefan caught it.

“Open it up,” he said calmly, watching her.

Yasmin’s smile froze momentarily, but she quickly regained her composure. Her right hand, resting on the gambling table, silently reached for a control button beneath it.

It was a cheat device-one that could vibrate the dice cup just enough to flip a die.

Yet Yasmin sensed that it seemed to have malfunctioned.

“Hey, I’ve placed my bets. Time to open the lid,” Stefan smiled.

He took another drag, his left hand resting casually on the table.

Beneath it, an invisible layer of true energy had sealed the dice cup. No device was getting through.

Yasmin’s composure cracked. She looked to Damian, eyes pleading.

Damian caught Yasmin’s glance, and his heart skipped a beat.

No way. Did he actually hit it?

A specific triple paid 150 to 1.

Stefan had just bet a million dollars.

Damian stepped forward, jaw tight. “What’s the matter? You sick? Step aside. Get another dealer.”

Relief flashed across Yasmin’s face. “I’ll switch out. Someone else can take over.”

The trick was obvious: a new dealer would give an “innocent” extra shake, subtly changing the roll. They’d then apologize, call it a misunderstanding, invalidate Stefan’s million-dollar bet, and restart the game.

“Hold on,” Stefan said. “You can switch dealers. But first-open that dice cup.”

He paused, letting the silence stretch. “Did I actually hit three sixes? Funny thing is-even if I did, you shouldn’t know that, should you? So why the hesitation? Unless… you already knew what was in there?”

“Mr. Bryant, that’s ridiculous.” Damian forced a smile. “The dealer has no idea what the roll is.”

“Then open it,” Stefan said flatly.

Korbin caught on, eyes narrowing. “Yeah, Damian. That’s weird. Bet’s down, but the dice cup’s still sitting there…”

Damian shot Yasmin a dark look.

Chapter 159 Revealing Three Sixes

Yasmin reached for the lid. Her hand trembled.

“Careful,” Stefan said, watching her closely. “Wouldn’t want to knock anything over.”

If she tries anything, I’ll stop it.

Finally, the lid was lifted, revealing three sixes.

Yasmin had clung to a sliver of hope, but the moment she saw the dice, darkness flooded her vision. Her body swayed precariously, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.

According to the odds, this would pay out one hundred fifty million dollars.

“Holy shit!” Korbin couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, his voice brimming with delight. “Mr. Bryant, you actually hit it.”

Korbin couldn’t believe it. Given the circumstances, he knew Yasmin must have realized Stefan had won the bet and tried to secretly tamper with the outcome. Yet, for some reason, she hadn’t succeeded, which was why she kept delaying opening the lid.

During this process, Stefan must have intervened. As for what method he used, Korbin couldn’t figure it out.

In Damian’s casino, nobody had ever walked away with a hundred fifty million dollars in a single bet, not once.
