Legendary God of Harem In the Modern World - Chapter 263
“Why are you that sure?” Randika does not know what fun it is to see people gambling.
“Sis, it’s not just a matter of money.” Richard lowered his voice. “The competition this time concerns the faces of several aristocratic families.”
Hearing this, Randika also became curious. Aristocratic families in this country rarely appear in public, usually they work behind the scenes.
“To be honest, the families from the north seem to have problems with those in the south and there have been several cases of dispute from them. But if they go to war openly, they will drag their allies and the country can be chaotic. So they agreed to settle this at this gambling table. They have played before and now should be the last. The end of their battle will be determined by today’s results. ”
Randika’s eyes were sparkling, what Richard said was really interesting. If you have involved an aristocratic family, the incident must be very interesting to see.
“How do you know all these things?” Randika asks Richard.
Richard replied with a smile. “I heard it when my father discussed it with his client. And coincidentally, I came to this underground casino once so I could bring you here. ”
“Sis, their competition is still long, how about we play first?” Richard took out thechip bettingand gave it to Randika.
Randika didn’t know what to do for a moment, he felt he was being sinned by Richard.
“Okay.” Finally Randika nodded. Incidentally, thechips are stakealso free so he doesn’t need to hesitate if they run out.
“You don’t have to come with me.” Randika said.
Richard nodded. “If you need more money, just let me know.”
Then Randika strolled around admiring this vast underground casino. There are many game tables in this place, be it cards, roulette, slot machines etc.
Randika had been to a casino in America, where it brought her pleasant memories. And for him roulette is a real money machine. The way it works is very simple, the officer will rotate the board containing the numbers 0-36 which have different colors, usually the odd will be red, even is black and the number 0 is white.
Roulette has various kinds of bets, players can bet on how many numbers the ball will fall, color, odd or even etc. So it can be said that this game is very profitable for the players because it has a percentage of almost 50% to win.
Many people were playing at this table, Randika decided to pay attention to it first. The players who had bet were already holding their breath as the little ball spun.
“Come on black!” Shouted one of the people. His eyes were about to fall off when he saw the rolling ball slow down even further, it seemed like he was betting big on black.
“Stupid, why are you betting on colors? Obviously from that it was already 3x even, the ball is definitely odd now! ” Shouted his friend, his hands also sweating.
Finally, the ball started to slow down and came to a stop at 0. This incident made all the players at the table really sad and took a deep breath.
Please note, the number 0 does not include black or red and is not even. Also, the percentage of balls stopping at 0 is really small so people never bet for 0 even though the payoff is huge.
Randika laughed in his heart, the good gambler understands his limits and does not immediately risk all his money in one game.
When Richard was engrossed in blackjack, he heard a voice from behind calling him. “Wow, well, this kid who always obeys his father turns out to be naughty to gamble in this place.”
When he heard the voice, Richard’s body stiffened. When he looked back, he saw several people laughing.
Mocking her was Anthony, her nemesis.
Anthony’s family is also an important family in the city of Cendrawasih, therefore the two families are often at odds. In the business aspect, both of them compete with each other continuously. From their grandfather’s generation to their present father, they continued to fight openly and secretly.
However, Anthony looked down on Richard. In terms of experience and various fields, Anthony beat Richard.
Richard looked at her coldly. “It’s none of your business if I want to be in this place for fun. What are you doing here, anyway? ”
“Of course I came to gamble, otherwise why would I go to the casino?” Anthony laughed at Richard’s stupid question.
“Aren’t obedient brats like you unsuitable for a place like this? How about you get out of here right away? I’m a little sorry for your father’s money being wasted like this. ” Anthony then laughed with his friends.
“That’s right Anthony said, why don’t you just go and have a drink at a bar nearby? I heard they just brought in girls from Thailand. You must like a woman with a trunk like that, right? ” Hereby Anthony and his friends laughed once again.
“!!” Richard’s face was completely cold, his anger was already overflowing. He wanted to beat up Anthony and his friends hard. But he didn’t dare to do it because today he only came alone with Randika, he didn’t bring his bodyguards at all so he doubted he could win against Anthony.
The visitors to this casino were not interested in the children’s performances. After all, no one dared break the rules in this underground casino. If anyone dared to do so, then that person should be prepared to be battered.
“Why? Do not accept?” Anthony snorted coldly. “Do you want to kill me? I know that you yourself have realized that you cannot touch me at all. Seeing you who is like a frightened dog is really pleasing to look at. ” Anthony laughed again with his friends.
“If you don’t accept it, how about we finish it on the table? We also happen to be in the right place. So how? Dare to fight me? ”
Richard, who was already hot, did not immediately accept this challenge, he thought about the pros and cons of Anthony’s challenge. But Anthony added oil to the fire. “But of course, I know you won’t dare challenge me. A runny kid like you doesn’t have the courage and ability to fight me. Ha ha ha.”
“Who said I didn’t dare to fight you?” Richard was provoked by Anthony’s insult this time.
“I’m just saying what it is.” Anthony smiled. “Don’t I often beat you on various occasions? I’m just afraid that your guts are as small as an ant now. How about this, we don’t risk money but rather our business contract agreement or family land, isn’t that more exciting? ”
Richard hesitated again. Anthony added oil again. “If you’re afraid that’s fine, don’t hesitate to admit it. Like a turtle, you’d better stick your head in your little hole. ”
“Who said I was scared?” Richard was hooked again, this time Anthony immediately seized this opportunity. “In that case, good!”
“Quickly we select an empty table.” Anthony went ahead.
Then the two of them walked over to the empty table, then Anthony said to Richard. “We just played the easy one, we took turns shuffling the cards and after that each of us took 4 cards in turn. After getting the card, we can only exchange 1 card for a new card. After that we add up the cards and whoever is bigger is the winner. Ace is 1 and King is 13. ”
“Okay.” Richard could no longer step back. Even though he had been to the casino before, he didn’t really like playing. He just likes watching people play and looking for the thrill of fun. However, in order to keep his face and name, he had to accept Anthony’s challenge.
Anthony smiled then shuffled the card and gave it to Richard. When finished shuffling, the card is put in the middle and they take it one by one in turn.
“What are we at stake.” Said Anthony as he took the card casually. For the record, they may take cards at random so they don’t have to take the top one.
Hearing this, cold sweat started to flood Richard’s forehead. He didn’t bet with his own money but his family’s money.
“Before we open the cards, we should first decide what is at stake. Oh yes, I also proposed a best of 5 so whoever wins 3x, he is the winner. I will bet my family’s land which is near the new city development district. How about you bet your land which is in the shopping district in the middle of the city? ”
It looks like this bet is okay, but the direction of this bet is actually being driven by Anthony.
City of Cendrawasih is already a mega city in Indonesia. The development is very fast and soon it will match Jakarta and Indonesia. Can you imagine how expensive the land in the middle of the city was when that happened? What’s more, the land at stake by Richard was a gathering place for gold and jewelery shops. Every day hundreds of millions rotate in that place.
Initially, the Richard family built its strength from the shopping district. Anthony realizes this and tries to grab it.
Richard bit his tongue. Of course he knew what was at stake today was crucial, but he couldn’t back down.
“DEAL!”
“Okay, open your card.” Anthony snorted coldly as he opened his card. After discarding a card, the four cards are 10 diamonds, a jack of spades, 6 hearts and a queen of hearts totaling 39 points. Meanwhile, Richard’s card is just a number with less than 25 points.
“Then for our first fight, I will be the winner.” Anthony smiles, looks like his family is going to party today.
Cold sweat started to flood Richard’s back, then they returned to shuffling the cards and took 4 cards at random.
Then, having reopened their cards, Richard had lost again.
The score is now 2 for Anthony and 0 for Richard.
At this time, Randika who was walking around saw Richard and walked over to him. To his surprise, he realized that Richard seemed to be playing against people.
“Why? Afraid to lose? ” Anthony was laughing out loud. “If you are afraid to quickly return to your father’s arms, don’t come here again.”
“Who said he’s scared?”
Suddenly, someone came over to their table and stood beside Richard.
“Who are you? Don’t interfere with my business, go away! ” Anthony doesn’t like to be bothered in the midst of his win.
The pale-faced Richard was happy when he saw Randika, as if he had seen the savior.
Randika ignored Anthony and asked Richard what really happened. Before Richard answered, he stood up and told Randika to sit in his place.
Seeing Richard who stood up and gave up his chair, Anthony was a little surprised. Then she glared at Richard. “Are you sure you were replaced by this person? I remind you, the score remains unchanged. ”
“I am sure.”
Seeing Randika’s face that looked stupid and calm, Anthony then explained his game again.
“Then King is the highest?” Randika asked.
“Correct.”
Randika nodded and started to shake. Anthony then said in a sarcastic tone. “I’ll give you the opportunity to choose 4 cards first.”
Randika did not hesitate, he quickly took 4 cards from the pile. And without waiting for Anthony to pick up his card, he had already opened all four cards.
“Four Kings?” Anthony’s friends couldn’t believe what they saw.
Anthony himself was surprised when he saw the card that Randika had, his face became gloomy. Looks like this opponent is not random.
“Once again.” Anthony tried to calm himself down, this time he gave a deep shake. To be honest, he won against Richard using tricks like Second Deal [1] and peeking [2].
After the cards have been shuffled properly, they take turns taking cards.
But Anthony was wrong against people, the person in front of him is Ares the God of War, this card game is as easy as him killing 100 people.
When Anthony tried to take a card, Randika’s hand moved quickly and took one card. Anthony, who was surprised, turned to Randika, but this moment was used by Randika to take the remaining 3 cards.
Very fast!
When she tried to get her first card, Randika had already opened the card and everyone was shocked again.
“Impossible, four more kings?”
Everyone was shocked and Richard who was standing beside Randika was already smiling broadly.

[2] The player or dealer peeks at the cards that will be dealt with the help of a tool such as a ring while distracting people from being caught.
