Chapter 310 All-In
Finally, I've managed to lure you out, Callum. William came here specifically to find him.
"Bring me another dice cup," Callum provocatively looked at William. He had plenty of ways to deal with players who were as lucky as him.
"Alright, sir," the young man responded.
Then, with a clear mind, he turned and went backstage to retrieve an identical-looking dice cup. The only difference was that there was a small mechanism under the tray, which would cause the platform to shake with a flick of a finger, resulting in a change in the dice inside.
So, this was a dice cup used for cheating.
After getting his hands on the dice cup, Callum played with it for a while before enthusiastically shaking three dice.
His gestures and force were much stronger than the young man's, and the confidence in his eyes clearly indicated that he was a skilled gambler.
After shaking the dice cup in the air for quite a while, Callum directly placed it on the gambling table.
"You can start betting," Callum said, looking straight at William.
William glanced at him, a slight smile playing at the corner of his mouth. He could naturally hear the numbers of the three dice inside the cup, but he wasn't sure if this guy had tampered with them. So, he decided to probe first.
"I bet big, one million dollars," William placed one million dollars' worth of chips on the big section.
Soon, the other gamblers followed suit. They now saw William as a gambling god and started betting as well.
"I also bet big, ten thousand dollars."
"I'm also betting big, twenty thousand dollars in chips."
"I'm also betting big."
...
Almost everyone at the gambling table followed William and placed bets on the big section. Callum was slightly surprised by William's judgment.
"This guy seems to have some skill, but when facing me, you're probably going to lose miserably!" Callum sneered inwardly. Then, he used his pinkie finger to trigger a small mechanism behind the dice cup, causing the bottom tray to shake, and as a result, the dice inside also changed.
This slight change naturally didn't escape William's keen ears.
"Indeed, there's a problem. But it doesn't matter to me," William quickly identified the new numbers after the dice changed. However, he wasn't in a hurry to make a move. He wanted to make Callum underestimate him and relax his guard.
"Are you finished betting? I'm going to reveal the result," Callum said, laughing, as he looked at William.
"Reveal it, reveal it, reveal it!" A group of gamblers shouted with bloodshot eyes. This time, they had placed many chips on William, eagerly awaiting a big win.
However, when Callum opened the dice cup, the numbers inside were 1, 2, and 2—small!
"1, 2, 2—small. Sorry, everyone," Callum said with a smile as he had someone collect all the chips from the table.
Suddenly, the gamblers all looked devastated, with expressions of despair on their faces.
"It seems like this guy has run out of luck." Everyone began to think.
William, on the other hand, didn't mind. He had wanted to make Callum underestimate him so that he could deliver a fatal blow in the end.
Callum picked up the dice cup and continued shaking it, quickly placing it back on the table.
"Placed on the gambling table.”
'Place your bets, make it quick,' Callum said loudly, glancing at William.
This time, William casually placed a bet at a multiple of 345, worth one million US dollars.
He didn't bother listening to the dice deliberately, as he wanted Callum to underestimate him, thinking that his success was solely based on luck.
Sure enough, William effortlessly placed a bet at a multiple of 345. Callum smirked and didn't even need to use any tricks, as he could hear which numbers the three dice in the bowl were.
'Truly relying on luck, I almost thought this person had some extraordinary ability,' Callum secretly thought, immediately opening the dice bowl to reveal three dice showing 223.
'223, small,' Callum announced loudly.
William lost another one million US dollars, and everyone present was now convinced that his earlier winnings were purely luck.
But William paid no attention and resumed gambling with dice. He intentionally lost another round to Callum, leaving him with only over seven and a half million dollars of chips on the table.
'The time has come,' William said, a faint smirk on his lips.
At that moment, Callum personally shook the dice cup once again and quickly placed it onto the gambling table.
'Place your bets,' Callum now looked invincible, even daringly provoking William with his gaze.
The latter pushed all his seven and a half million dollars of chips into the box for the multiple of 345. Then, he took out a bank card and put it into the same box.
'Seven and a half million dollars in chips plus the funds of one billion dollars in this card, all in on the multiple of 345,' William calmly stated.
As soon as his words fell, the crowd went crazy again.
'This is absolutely insane; he's risking one billion dollars. Although, if he wins, he'll make at least seventeen billion dollars!'
'Incredible, this is the biggest gamble I've ever witnessed.'
'This is madness, pure madness.'
Even some influential figures widened their eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing. This seemingly ordinary person suddenly made such a massive move, leaving them completely astonished.
'Are you sure you want to bet this big?' Callum also found it hard to believe.
'Of course, you can have someone verify the funds in this bank card, but if I win, you'll give me your family heirloom, the Night Pearl, along with all the money and chips on this table. How about that? Are you up for the challenge?' William stared directly at Callum, speaking with confidence.
'Haha, you arrogant bastard. Go check the funds in this bank card,' Callum turned and ordered the young man to bring the device to verify the funds in the card. If there really was one billion dollars in it, he didn't mind taking up the challenge with William."
Because this was a game he was bound to win, why wouldn't he do it?
Soon, someone brought a professional machine for verification and swiped the bank card on it. After William entered the password for verification, it showed a staggering one billion US dollars on the screen.
The gamblers around were once again shocked. There really was one billion US dollars in this card.
"Mr. Bell, there really is one billion US dollars in this card," the young man returned to Callum's side and whispered to him.
"Well, good. I know," William smiled. He was about to make a fortune this time.
"Alright, I'll bet with you. If you lose, all the chips and money on the table will be mine. If you win, I'll give you our family heirloom, the Night Pearl," Callum said, looking at everyone again. "I hope everyone bears witness that this gentleman made this voluntary bet."
