"Because I believe, Manly, that you love me. You care so much for me you couldn’t bear to see me lose. So, I'm sure I won’t lose! I trust that in the next round, you will once again let me win," Danny replied with a confident grin.
"Sure! I'll let you win until you cry," Manly retorted. She was convinced that, despite making mistakes twice, she would not falter a third time. That would be unacceptable and she couldn't forgive herself for it.
She shook the dice in the cage once again with a rattling noise but took her time this round because the thought of losing made her nervous. After careful thinking, Manly decided not to aim for Any Triple but to roll a large combo with a three, four, and six to make it safe. Even if she made a mistake again, she would only have to pay double the bet. Two trillion doubled is four trillion, which was still manageable. If she aimed for Any Triple and it flipped a hundred times, that two trillion would turn into two hundred trillion—a number too astronomical to even consider.
The dice were ready, but Danny didn't place his bet immediately. Manly felt both anxious and unnerved waiting for him, so she asked with a coy smile, "Country boy, are you scared? Don’t you dare to bet?"
"Scared? Fear isn't in my vocabulary," Danny replied cheerfully.
"If you're not scared, then why aren't you betting?"
"I'm waiting for Manly," Danny answered.
"Waiting for me?" Manly looked completely baffled, "What are you waiting for?"
"I’m waiting for Manly to give me a hint! If Manly says bet on high, I'll bet on high. If Manly says bet on low, I'll bet on low. If Manly suggests Any Triple again this round, I’ll certainly bet on Any Triple!" Danny replied jovially.
The mere mention of "Any Triple" was enough to make Manly’s head spin. She did not want to see Danny bet on Any Triple again for fear of another correct guess and the staggering twenty trillion payout.
