A Star Reborn: The Queen’s Return

That was the biggest point, how was this man going to win?

“Pa”, she slammed her bowl on the table and the die settled.

When she opened it, everyone was amazed. “Not bad, there are actually two sixes and one five.”

What?! Two sixes one five?!

Xia Yingluo’s expression was strange. She had shaken so many dies before and had never lost her hand, how could she lose her hand for the first time at such an important juncture? “These dies… have a problem,” she said.

The dealer looked at her politely. “Miss, it has been personally checked by you. You know best if there’s any problem. Looking at your technique, you should know that getting three sixes is a difficult thing, right? Don’t be too greedy.”

Xia Yingluo still shook her head. Maybe it was difficult to obtain for other people, but for her, it was really obtainable every shake! Her technique was amazing and furthermore, uncle had said that since she was a daughter of the Phoenix, so she had been blessed since she was born and could obtain whatever she wanted more easily than others. When this kind of entitlement was reflected in the casino, she could really sweep everything…

Why did she make a mistake today?

She stared at the bowl, wanting to tear it apart to investigate, but she knew in her heart that the broker was right. She had checked it personally just now, and with her sharp eyes, she hadn’t seen any problem. These dies were all clean!

Her face was slightly white and she looked like she had seen a ghost.

An old gambler next to her comforted her. “Little beauty, it’s fine, you have already got a lot of points that other people can rarely even get. Unless the other party can shake out three sixes, you will win!”

Xia Yingluo took a deep breath and could only comfort herself too.

It wouldn’t be too late to think about what had happened to her technique later, but it was more imperative to see what the mysterious man in front could shake out.

She looked up and said as if nothing had happened, “Your turn.”

The mysterious man stood up from the dark sofa and walked towards the gambling table step by step. His pace was elegant and self-contained, his slender figure twisted and distorted by the dark lights. It created an illusion, like a top predator approaching his prey step by step. In the corner, a dozing Persian cat shrouded in his shadow suddenly woke up. “Meow”, its hairs stood on end, and it ran away hurriedly.

Xia Yingluo’s breathing was also a little tight. She didn’t know where this man came from, but he was really scary.

Could she really escape from his hands?

At this moment, she suddenly became uncertain.

The mysterious man’s gaze was locked on her as if observing her uneasiness. The corners of his lips curled into a smile, but the smile hid countless cruelty in it, making people shudder.

He walked to the table, his bony fingers grabbing the bowl.

He shook twice casually and threw it onto the table.

Everyone could not help but take in a sharp breath of air—it turned out to be the perfect three sixes!

Xia Yingluo also took a breath of air, how was it possible?

How could it be such a coincidence? Just when she lost her hand for the first time in a thousand years, her opponent opened a perfect number!

She looked up at him. “You cheated!”

He did not speak, just looked at her, the smile on his lips intriguing.

The dealer on the side said loudly, “Miss, don’t try to push blame. This gentleman did not cheat, I can see clearly.”

Other old gamblers also said, “Little beauty, you have to have evidence to say someone cheated. We were all staring at him and can only say that this gentleman was lucky and fortunately won over you. You should just succumb to your fate.”

Xia Yingluo was very angry. It wasn’t them that had lost, so of course, they could talk about losing like it was nothing.

But the situation’s authority was stronger than the words of a person. Even if she suspected that he had cheated, there was no evidence, and she couldn’t leave from the guarded casino.

For the sake of the present, she would have to take each step and decide.

The only thing that was gratifying was that since she had lost, the pair of dogs Zhao Yixuan and Pei Yan had lost as well. She turned her head and deliberately smiled at them. “You two should succumb to your fate too and hand over all your chips.”

Zhao Yixuan’s expression was dark. It was Pei Yan who had suggested coming out to play, but to attract this hard-to-get rich lady, the majority of the chips here had been from him and he had even sold two suite rooms for this! This round had cost him to lose almost all his fortune! The muscles on his face twitched painfully and he couldn’t help but say, “Wait!”

“What else do you want to say?” Xia Yingluo smiled very freely. Hadn’t he wanted to plot against her? Now, he had dragged his own feet in!

Zhao Yixuan broke out in cold sweat. He saw the dealer put all the chips on the table in front of the man and desperately wanted to snatch them all back. However, he saw the people around taking joy in calamity and carrying contemptuous eyes, so he knew he could not. If he really rushed forward to snatch the chips, he would really lose his face! He was afraid that even Pei Yan would feel too shameful and would break up with him!

He managed to control himself, and he said with a trembling voice, “Xia Yingluo, good for you, very good!”

Xia Yingluo was still laughing. “I am very good. Better than you think, Zhao Yixuan. One day you will come to me, asking me to forgive you for everything you have done today, do you believe me? By then, you will realize you’re not even worthy to lick my shoes.”

She turned towards the mysterious man. “You want me? Let’s go to a hotel room.”

The man looked at her with a smile and took her.

“Wait, Sir!” the dealer hurriedly called, “Your chips!” All the chips he had won, along with the mysterious shining Supreme Black Gold chips, were placed on the table, like a small pile of treasures.

The man did not return, and only said with a voice spread thin like ice, “Use it to treat everyone to drinks.”

He left.

Leaving a bunch of stunned people deeply shocked by his big hand.

Xia Yingluo, who left with him, was also shocked. She secretly wondered what identity the man had. In her impression, in addition to her own defeated mother, there was really no one who could easily throw away a billion just because he was lazy to take it.

His identity… It couldn’t be above her, right? She was shocked by her own thoughts. How was it possible? There were only a handful of families in the world who could compete with the Li family, but she had never heard of this person?

While thinking this, she was led into the hotel room. It was an extremely luxurious presidential suite, the best room in the entire casino.

The one-way floor-to-ceiling windows on the three walls offered a panoramic view of the entire casino. In the middle was a large bed covered with burgundy silk satin and on the side a table with red wine and champagne and some sex toys that made her blush heavily.
