Chapter 85: Gambling
*THUMP*
In an instant, Lucian's fist came in contact with Jerry's chest, his breath almost seemed to have stopped, then his body was thrown backwards.
It was like a loud drum had sounded, Jerry's body collided against the wall as he coughed out blood before falling unconscious, he definitely has a few broken bones.
On the other hand, all colour had drained from Perry's face as he looked at his brother in shock and then at Lucian in fear, he couldn't believe a human could actually possess such strength.
" W- Wait, I will fix all of this- "
*THUMP*
Another loud drum like sound rang out, and Perry went through the same fate as his brother, as they both lay unconscious beside one another, blood coming out of their mouths and noses.
Hearing the loud sound many people looked towards Lucian's home from their windows, they felt pity for him but none dared to go help him.
Lucian walked up to the brothers and checked their pockets and this time he found a little more than nine hundred dollars.
Putting them in his pocket he looked around, then he picked a pair of clothes that were mostly fine after which he took a bath and soon walked out of the house.
All the people were surprised to see Lucian walking out of there without any injuries, a couple of them even went to check and were shocked to see the two gangster brothers lying there unconscious.
***
" Hmmm If I remember correctly, somewhere around here was the gambling area, Zero get ready, we are going to win a lot today. "
Lucian spoke and in no time he arrived at the place which was not legal for gambling, but all kinds of games were played in the underground area.
He went directly towards the gambling den, several burly bodyguards were placed all over the underground space, every few minutes they were throwing people out who lost all their money and even got loans.
' Zero are they cheating in the games? ' Lucian questioned, as he walked down the stairs and finally arrived in the gambling zone.
[ Of course, most people lose their money after they bet here, this place is filled only with fraud. ]
" Sigh I knew it, but I am not going to lose today. "
Lucian first went to the counter and turned his money into chips, he used all the money he got from the brothers and Perv, then taking his chips he looked around to find a suitable game.
Soon he walked up to a table where they were playing the spinning wheel game, Lucian knew they usually use magnets to stop the ball at a certain number, but he still walked up to the table and waited for a new game to start.
" Place your bets for the new game. " The croupier spoke, as he looked around.
' Zero which is it? ' Lucian questioned.
[ Place on the number one, since your bet is small and it is your 1st time so he is going to allow you to win for a couple of times. ]
" I am placing it all in number 1. " Lucian spoke, moving his chips to number 1, the croupier glanced at Lucian then he looked back and spoke:
" We have a new customer here, let's see how your luck is. "
The people around were surprised by Lucian's behaviour, most people places bets based on colours or even and odd numbers which has higher chances of winning.
Placing his money just on a single number will definitely give him a large return but the odds were too big, so everyone who saw him just shook their heads.
After everyone had placed their bets, the croupier spun the wheel and stood close to the table, one of his fingers moving inside an almost invisible hole.
" Whoa, is this just the beginner luck or do we have a new gambling genius right here? Let's find out, but for now, we have our winner at number 1. "
Lucian chips instantly became large in numbers, it had increased by fifteen times in an instant, everyone around was surprised.
" So are you planning to play more or are you just gonna go back home with that much money? " The croupier asked, this time he planned to make Lucian lose otherwise his money would instantly rise up to more than four hundred thousand dollars.
Since the risk is higher in the spinning wheel game when placing on a single number so the return is very high, in most of the casinos they would give a return of 35 times though this casino was only giving him fifteen times the return.
" Of course, I am going to play more, I am going to place all my money on the number... "
[ Place it on number 7 and don't let him use the magnet this time. ]
Lucian pretended to think then he dragged all his money onto the number 7 and spoke: " I am going all in, everything on number seven, let's go. "
" Haha That's the spirit. You seem quite confident, let's see if you can win again or if are you going to lose it all. " The croupier spoke.
All the people around again began to discuss about Lucian's bet, they believed it was a mistake to bet again when he had already won so much, it was obvious that he had fallen in the trap set by the croupier.
And after everyone else was done placing their bets, the wheel began to spin as they waited for the result.
All the people around were more interested in knowing if Lucian is going to win such a large amount so easily or not, more than about their own bets.
While the croupier moved his finger discreetly towards the hole, but just then he noticed that Lucian had placed his hand over the hole, while he pretended to be holding the table nervously.
" C- Can you please move your hands away from the table? "
The croupier tried to speak but Lucian paid him no attention and maintained his grip on the table, soon the wheel stopped moving and the ball stopped over the number 7.
" Whoa!! I won!! I won!! " Lucian raised his hands and cheered along with all the people standing beside him, they all congratulated him on his win.
" Congrats, you just made history at this place, I have never seen anyone win so much here in such a short time. "
" Take my card, maybe we can meet sometime for drinks. " A woman spoke, giving seductive winks towards him.
" Damn bro, I can't believe you really won all that, hahaha you sure are lucky. "
" N- No wait, t- this game wasn't f- fair... Excuse me, l- listen to me please- "
While the croupier felt weak in the knees he almost fell down, he tried to stop Lucian saying that there was some problem with the table but no one paid him any attention.
" D- Do you plan to play a third round? " The croupier asked trying to act calm, hoping that Lucian would say yes, otherwise he was going to lose his job.
" No, that much money is enough for me. " Lucian replied with a smile.
