The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 509

The experienced gamblers at the table had already decided in their minds that Danny was bound to lose, even though the dealer hadn’t opened the cage yet. They had seen plenty of newbies like him—they come and go like weeds.

Once the crowd had settled, Lily asked with a sweet smile, “Country boy, they all think you’ll lose. Can you win this bet?”

“What do you think, Lily?" Danny countered.

“I think you can win! If you lose on your first bet, that'd be a huge letdown. If that happens, I’ll have to immediately add you to my blacklist and banish you from my world! I need a capable assistant, not a useless one,” Lily replied with a hint of challenge.

"Don't worry, Lily. I won’t lose. Especially not this round—I’m sure of it," Danny said confidently.

Lily, being shrewd, knew that The Big Dipper casino wasn’t as straightforward as it seemed. If she were betting, she too would bet on Any Triple. She glanced over the chips on the table, noticing that the amounts bet on high and low were nearly equal. If the house wanted to win, they could only draw Any Triple, which overrides high and low bets.

The entire table saw Danny as the only one who had bet on Any One Hundred, with just a hundred bucks on the line. If he won, it would amount to just ten thousand dollars, a small sum compared to the hundreds of thousands laid on high and low.

While Lily analyzed the situation, the dealer opened the cage—three ones, Any Triple indeed!

Danny had won. His hundred had turned into ten thousand dollars.
