Chapter 13: A Dangerous Wager

The dice moved!

Allen looked at the three dice in shock. He hadn't been wrong just now. One of the dice had indeed flipped over.

'Is it my eyes? Are they absorbing all that golden light with a new function?' Allen figured everything out quickly and stared at the three dice closely, making them flip how he wanted them to.

"Allen's expression is a little hard to read, and his forehead is sweating so much; what's wrong with him?" Moses inquired as he looked at Jerome.

"I don't know, is it from overindulging?" Jerome's answer made Moses roll his eyes.

"Hey, kid, how much longer do you want to see? Do you want to see through the dice cup with your eyes?" Henry's words drew loud laughter from the people around him in agreement.

By now, Allen had changed all the dice, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and shrugged. "I was just praying that God would let me win."

Henry laughed even louder, "You can't win with me!"

"Let's see, where should I hang this world-class masterpiece? Might as well hang it in my toilet at home." Henry laughed wildly and bet on 18 points.

"I'm not interested in seeing you guys naked." Allen spat out in a small voice.

Everyone placed their bets, and the dealer opened the dice cup.

"Haha, I won!" Henry laughed out loud, but the people around him looked at the dice and then at Henry as if they were looking at a fool.

"Wait, why is it a 10?" Henry looked at the dice cup, and the expression on his face instantly turned into shock.

Allen shrugged and flirted. "How do I know? I’m guessing maybe you can ask God or your dealer?"

Henry's fierce gaze instantly went to the dealer, who was startled.

"I don't know what's going on here. I did what you told me to do," said the dealer, suddenly covering his mouth in the middle of his sentence.

The people on the scene were not fools and quickly realized what was happening.

"Henry, you asshole! I can't believe you cheated!" Jerome growled as he walked up and grabbed Henry by the collar.

"Let go of me! What proof do you have!" Henry pushed Jerome away hard.

The two were arguing, and some people around them tried to talk them out of it while others watched.

No one noticed Allen pulling Moses over to the dealer's side.

"Dear sir, as you can see. Henry lost his bet because of you. With his temper, you’ll probably end up in the river tonight as fish food.

You caused Henry to lose his bet, and with his character, you will appear in the river at night to feed the fish. So now you need someone to protect you. If you are brave enough to come forward and testify against Henry, Jerome will indeed protect you! You must believe the beautiful Miss Moses if you don’t believe me. You know, she is Jerome's cousin and most trustworthy!" Allen smiled and looked at the dealer.

The dealer looked to Moses, who glared at Allen and nodded toward the dealer.

"If you are willing to tell the truth, you and your family can take refuge in another city," Moses said to the dealer.

The dealer looked gratefully to Moses, who nodded and then stepped forward.

"Mr. Henry did let me cheat. The dice are specially made to make the dice turn into 18 points if I press the switch at my feet." The dealer even stepped on the switch when he finished speaking, and the dice did turn into 18 points.

Why did the dice not change just now? Everyone thought it was a machine malfunction. To guarantee the truth, the dealer even took out his cell phone to show Henry's remittance record.

"Asshole!" Henry grabbed a chair and charged toward the dealer when Jerome suddenly pulled his leg.

Henry fell, but the chair in his hand came off and flew toward Moses.

Moses was contacting his men to arrange for the dealer’s refugee, but he didn't notice the chair, and by the time he did, it was too late.

Suddenly, Moses felt a strong body hold her in place, and the flying chair came crashing down hard on Allen's back.

"Didn't scare you, did it?" Allen looked at the chair on the floor to Moses.

Moses saw Allen's handsome face and concerned gaze. A blush flashed across his face, and his heart beat faster.

"I'm fine. Are you hurt?" Moses inquired as he broke away from Allen's arms.

"It's nothing. I'm still physically strong." Allen shrugged. He wanted to cuddle a little longer, as Moses' body was soft and supple.

By now, Henry and Jerome had been pulled away, both of them with bruises on their faces from the beating they had exchanged.

Henry pointed at Jerome and growled, "I'm going to make another bet with you! Just use the shares of both our groups! Don't you dare!"

"What wouldn't I dare?" Jerome sneered at Henry. With Allen there, he wasn't worried about losing.

Yet Henry looked at Jerome with a grim gaze.

"I'm not betting with that guy. I'm going to bet with you, "Henry said, making Allen and Jerome pale.
