118 Winning Against the House

His eyes looking at her with a show of confidence, "I want you to make this bet. I believe in you." Tony places his hand firmly holding hers, a smile on his face that warms away the anxiety that she has inside

Showing not a hint of doubt in her whereas Zetian is feeling a loss of confidence as she stares at the mountain of colored gambling chips that stacks so high on the table.

Her eyes display signs of hesitation as she feels all the eyes in the room focuses upon her. It is a strange feeling to have when she's so used to being along by herself.

"Are you sure you want me to bet?" She could almost feel her heart palpitating a little faster under the strain of the decision-making on her.

Tony gives a graceful and infectious confident smile that spreads mirth to those doubling anxieties that might be rising inside her, "Today you are my Goddess of Luck. Whatever decision you make I will follow."

Never had she find somebody who believed so much in her abilities. It is actually so flattering to hear that her love has this confidence in her.

No longer with the same hesitation she turns to Zhang with a self-determines in herself, "Big. I bet big."

Hearing this decision everyone in the room watches as the lid of the black dice shaker that covers the dices lifts up to reveal all the numbers rolled over added to be 15 in total.

Everyone in the room stares at the young girl with faces of disbelief including Zhang himself. But convinces himself that it must be blind beginner's luck.

Zetian also discovers a wonderful joy from winning such a huge of money. Looking to the side at Tony with a glowing smile that spreads across her face, "Look. Look Zhidu, we just won!!"

Seeing how she acts so enthusiastic made Tony smile happily, "Didn't I tell you you're my Goddess of Luck?" He pats on her head in an affectionate way which made Zetian blush a little from being treated like such.

Meanwhile Zhang who's standing watching this adoring couple feels welling hate inside his heart. His tone turns more serious with sternness reflected on his face as he stares at Zetian, "Sir, do you want to play again?"

Tony nods to indicate for him to start the next game. While shaking the dice inside the bottle Zhang thought inside his heart, "Even if you won the first time, you're not going to get so lucky the second time."

Finish shaking the dices on the table Tony looks to Zetian waiting for her to speak her decision, "I'll bet big again."

"That girl is not going to get so luck this time."

"How silly it is to bet the same thing for a second time," a woman said with a condescending laughter upon them, "it is just not possible."

"I totally agree. It was just a beginner's luck," complemented the man next to the old woman.

Lifting up the bottle again everyone clearly could see with their faces of disbelief that the number is a large.

This time facing the overwhelming luck on their side Zetian hugged Tony from her feelings of excitement, "I can't believe it we actually won again!!! Can we play a little more?"

Her large innocent eyes looking upon him, as though enjoying this game of flirting with the danger of losing everything. But in Tony's eyes this is the first time he being to know this other side to her.

Getting to know that confident girl that hides beneath that sometimes-melancholic cloak she wears in front of everyone, even including himself.

"Of course. As much as you want," Tony signaled with a nod of Zhang to keeping rolling the game onwards.

For some reason Zhang has a growing worry in his heart as Zetian wins not just another round, following this she won 6 more games in a row. Not only that she won 6 more games betting on a large dice number.

A man walks up to warn Zhang, he seems very much like a servant who's over watching the scene. His voice is so quiet it is inaudible to everyone here.

But with Tony's martial art's ability it presents no difficulty at all, "Young Master Zhang we can't allow them to bet anymore. We don't have enough cash in our hands. If they win again, we will have to sell away all your father's leftover properties and savings."

In return Zhang only snorted with condescension at the old servant without a slight regard for his advice, "I know what to do. She can't win for the fourth time." His eyes staring the old man down for even daring to utter a word or warning of advice in this establishment.

Hearing how the young master reacted to his small advice the old servant could only bow down his head as he slowly excuses himself from the sight of everyone.

"Shall we?" Zhang said as he was holding down the folded dices as he looks upon the two people seated in front of him. Determined to win all the money back in this round.

The two of them looked at each other then Zetian said holding on Tony's hand firmly with trust, "I will bet large again." Tony uses a slight push of hand placed all of the chips in the center.

But before Zhang lifted up the bottle to reveal the number on the dices beneath, he secretly clicked one bottom on the wooden table lightly that hidden from everyone's view.

Tony could notice that on the corner of his mouth lifts to show a small grin filled with a wicked craftiness to scheme away all his money.

He heard stories about how other in the past always losing huge sums of wealth for some reason just to the end of the game as it draws near.

'So, this is how you want to play? But do you think I really don't know,' Tony could hear the smallest sounds with his ears.
