Chapter 526: Money is Omnipotent

"Royal Flush? How the heck did she get a Royal Flush?"

The middle-aged woman stared in disbelief, reaching out to grab Aurora's cards again.

Her face went pale, and she slumped into her chair, muttering under her breath.

"This can't be real. I don't believe it! How could she have a Royal Flush?"

Suddenly, her expression twisted with anger as she spoke coldly.

"No way, you must've cheated! How could you possibly have a Royal Flush?"

Aurora blinked innocently, looking slightly aggrieved as she responded.

"But I saw that lots of people had the same cards. Why is it cheating when I do it?"

She was subtly accusing the woman of cheating, implying that if everyone was cheating, winning was a matter of skill.

The woman's face turned even more sour, unable to refute because everyone had indeed been cheating.

"Fine, I lost this round! Take all these copper coins and let's move on to the next game!"

"I'll definitely win the next one!"

Aurora collected nearly a thousand copper coins, a sum almost five times what a normal person would have.

Satisfied, she calmly gathered all her chips and spoke.

"You guys go ahead and play the next few rounds without me. I think I've won enough."

As soon as she finished speaking, the bald man erupted in anger, slamming his hand on the table and shouting.

"You're leaving now? What about us?"

"In a casino, don't you know the winner can't just leave?"

"How can you be so rude!"

Tears welled up in Aurora's eyes as she looked pitifully at the bald man, stammering.

"But no one ever told me that."

The bald man felt a sense of helplessness, like punching a pillow, and sighed deeply, forcing a smile.

"It's okay, just sit down and keep playing. That way, none of us will blame you."

Aurora wasn't foolish; her rule was to take the money and run.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, she looked helplessly at the dealer and asked weakly.

"Sir, is what they're saying true? Is there a rule that the winner can't leave?"

The dealer was stunned by her question. In fact, no casino had such a rule.

Aurora's eyes gleamed with cunning as she raised her voice.

"Really? There's no such rule in the casino, so why should I stay?"

"I'm not playing with you guys anymore. You're all bullying a newbie! It's no fun at all!"

Without hesitation, Aurora stuffed the large bag of coins into her purse and left swiftly.

Watching her leave, the gamblers were furious, pressuring the dealer.

"You're just letting her go? What about our losses? Are you going to cover them?"

The bald man cursed under his breath, wanting to chase after Aurora, but they all knew the boss's rules and didn't dare act rashly.

When Aurora reached the cashier to exchange her winnings, a burly figure appeared before her.

It was the same bodyguard who had previously blocked her from entering the top floor.

The bodyguard respectfully bowed to Aurora.

"Miss, I apologize for my earlier rudeness. You may now attend the auction."

"Please follow me."

In this place, money was everything. With enough money, you could attend the border auction.

But Aurora wasn't in a hurry. She elegantly sat down, ordered a cocktail, and spoke calmly.

"No rush. My friend will be joining me later, and we'll enter the auction together."

The bodyguard immediately refused.

"That's not possible, miss. The auction is only open to you. You can't bring a friend."

Aurora glanced at the bodyguard and generously handed him three copper coins.

"How about now?"

The bodyguard's voice softened, but he remained stubborn.

"It's really not possible, miss. If we get caught..."

Aurora didn't say another word, handing over two more coins.

Finally, the bodyguard fell into a strange silence before nodding slowly.

"You both can go in, but don't tell anyone."

"There are clothes prepared for the auction inside. Make sure to change into them."

Money was indeed powerful, even in this place.

Soon, Ash hurried back and immediately spotted Aurora.

He looked puzzled.

"What's going on? Why are you still here? Did the plan fail? Did you lose all the money?"

Aurora rolled her eyes and pulled Ash into the room.

"What are you thinking? I'm waiting for you to go in together. Hurry up and change, or the auction will be over!"

What? In such a short time, she had managed to handle everything and even got permission to bring him along?

Ash's admiration for Aurora grew.

"Alright, I'll change now."

Ash quickly donned the black robe and was about to put on the mask when he paused.

In a flash, he slapped the mask hard.

Aurora, who had just changed into her robe and was about to put on her mask, was stunned, looking at Ash in shock.

"Are you crazy?"

"Are you trying to slap me?"

Ash, frightened by her sharp gaze, quickly explained.

"No, no, that's not what I meant."

"I think there's something fishy about this mask. Don't just put it on."

Aurora looked at Ash skeptically but said nothing.

To prove his point, Ash pulled Aurora to the bathroom.

He turned on the faucet, letting the water flow, and threw the black mask into the sink.
