Reborn As Super Heiress

Capítulo 1488: Chapter 1472: Silent Before, Stunning When Heard

Ouyang Jun’s words made sense, Huo Sining frowned slightly. This money certainly wasn’t put in by the Song siblings, otherwise, they would have told her for sure.

But logically speaking, she had behaved so low-key. Unless a few familiar people knew her background, others shouldn’t have known what she was up to!

Who on earth would be so irrational as to bet money on her? Fifty million is no small amount, doesn’t this person fear losing all that money?

“Perhaps some gambler wants to try their luck. After all, among these contestants, your odds are the highest, so don’t overthink it. Anyway, whether they lose or win, that person won’t come looking for you.”

Bai Yishan saw Huo Sining still tangled and couldn’t help but offer some comfort.

Indeed, Huo Sining thought Bai Yishan made sense, so she simply let go of her unease.

“By the way, as per your request, I’ve handled all those fragments properly. I was originally planning to send them back to the country, but Master Zhou wasn’t reassured and insisted on sending someone to fetch them personally.”

Ouyang Jun glanced at Huo Sining and said, “Guess who they sent?”

Huo Sining didn’t even raise her eyes: “Who else could it be? It’s definitely my senior brother. My master trusts him the most. Apart from Senior Brother Ji, who else is there?”

Ouyang Jun’s eyes flashed with a sly look. He shook his head and, taking advantage of the moment when Huo Sining wasn’t paying attention, took out his phone and sent a text message:

“I did remind her for you, but she didn’t seem to think of you at all. She’s probably forgotten you. With how outstanding she is, there are plenty of suitors chasing after her. Not long after she arrived in Las Vegas, she caught the attention of both Caesar and the Young Master Li from New York. Brother, you’re on your own.”

Soon after, Ouyang Jun’s phone vibrated: “Don’t worry about it, I have my ways to bring my woman back home.”

Ouyang Jun’s lips curved slightly upward, watching as Huo Sining entered the competition arena.

“Danio, do you know what I just saw?” On the other end, Danio was also lining up to enter, and suddenly received a phone call.

“What?” Danio was waiting to enter and wasn’t paying much attention to the phone call.

Kevin, on the other end of the line, said in an incredulous tone: “I just saw at the betting booth outside the venue a man from Huaxia actually place fifty million on Huo Sining! My God, I was already amazed when you bet five million; this Huaxia man is truly insane. That’s not fifty dollars; it’s fifty million US dollars. Throwing away a fortune is not the same as spending it. Isn’t he afraid of losing?”

Upon hearing the number fifty million, Danio was a bit stunned. But he quickly dismissed his ridiculous thought. With that woman’s skills, it’s not surprising someone bet fifty million on her. If he had that much money, he might’ve done the same.

Danio was rather curious about this Huaxia man. Who had such audacity? If it were Song Xiaochen, Kevin wouldn’t have failed to recognize him.

“Don’t be so shocked. Just wait and watch the live broadcast of the match. There’s no need to wait until tomorrow; this woman will become a dark horse today. You don’t have to look at those popular choices; no one can predict who will laugh last.”

As Danio predicted, on the first day of the semifinals, out of four thousand contestants, nearly ninety percent were eliminated. Among the remaining four hundred, this oriental woman, Huo Sining, gradually came into view.

Initially, this oriental woman was not noticeable. In the first day’s knockout round, she drew the number eight. At this time, the previous competitors were already exhausted. She had a bit of luck, so no one thought her skills were particularly outstanding.

But soon, experts began to see that this woman was unusual. She hadn’t been on stage for more than fifteen minutes when a contestant was eliminated.

Unlike the tension exhibited by other competitors, this woman showed no sign of nervousness throughout. After the tenth contestant came on stage, she folded several hands. Just when everyone thought she would be eliminated, she pushed all her remaining chips forward, expressionless.

The other contestants thought this woman was making a last stand, and while they were disdainful, they also breathed a sigh of relief.

But to everyone’s surprise, after the croupier dealt the cards, this woman silently went all in. She caught a king, queen, and jack of hearts, a straight flush that stunned everyone!

Grand Slam!

“Oh my, it was just a false alarm. I thought I was going to be eliminated.”

Huo Sining gathered the chips on the table into her arms and then, with a hint of embarrassment, said to the last eliminated contestant:

“I’m really sorry. I should have been the one to go out, but it seems luck is on my side.”

The eliminated contestant was so angry they could almost vomit blood. What seemed like a sure win had been turned around by this woman in the final round!

This unexpected turn of events was truly laughable, yet frustrating. No one expected the woman’s luck to be so good; she managed to get such a good hand in the last round.

At this point, the television crew in charge of filming finally stopped being stingy with their shots and gave Huo Sining a several-second close-up.

This oriental woman’s expression was calm, with a slight, enigmatic smile, which surprised many watching the live broadcast.

Not only domestically, but even many Americans who had seen the international treasure appraisal conference recognized the Eastern face that had stood with the national seal at the New York International Exhibition Center. It had been just a few months since the treasure appraisal conference, and many people still vividly remembered Huo Sining’s appearance. Now, seeing her close-up on the WGC live broadcast channel, many Americans were stunned.

Isn’t this the mysterious Miss Dongfang Huo? How did she end up on the WGC?

In this world, humanity has undergone a huge transition from the steam age to the electric age and then to the internet age.

What is the biggest feature of the internet age? The rapid spread of information. Through satellite and internet communication, a major event that happens in one second can be known worldwide in the next.

The mysterious Huo appears at WGC, with exquisite gambling skills advancing to the semifinals.

A stir erupted within the country. Since the treasure appraisal conference, the mysterious Huo had disappeared, and her resurfacing became big international news! Those watching the live broadcast or video replays online were shocked and excited. Without Huo Sining even knowing, her close-up on the WGC was plastered across major portals, with news about her participation in the WGC getting trending marks, and clicks skyrocketing.

Although the WGC was closely followed by many gambling enthusiasts domestically, gambling as a competitive activity has always been a taboo subject in the country, so media rarely promote competitions. Such widespread exposure and even praise are unprecedented.
