Chapter 9
Billionaire.
On Blue Star, this is the true definition of an upper-class person.
So, what about in the alternate world of Orario?
No need to question it there, owning 100 million is enough to be called a tycoon!
A light, small chip, in just two minutes, has already transformed into a mountain of massive wealth!
This is the most appealing aspect of a casino.
And it is also its biggest scam.
Any path that could lead to quick riches has been completely blocked.
Those who gamble their entire fortune on a fluke will only face the outcome of bankruptcy.
There are no exceptions.
But who could have thought?
Such a flaw would appear in this small game?
A fortune of 100 million flowed into Eugene's hands in just two rounds!
After all, the general perception is that this kind of pinball game is purely luck-based, with zero skill involved.
Far less entertaining than card games.
This is also why there are hardly any roulette scenes in God of Gamblers movies.
Random things don't demonstrate skill, and they lack excitement and fun.
And Eugene exploited this oversight.
Losing for an entire night, pushing his state to the limit, and then using this opportunity to burst forth!
Of course, compared to gambling with his life, the sense of crisis in this state is much weaker.
Through Plunder, Eugene's monster material drop rate in the Dungeon is 100%.
Repaying one million is actually very simple.
However, it seems that the trigger for Strong Luck is unrelated to whether he has a fallback plan.
As long as he places himself in a desperate situation, he is bound to greet new life.
"There's one more number, oh~"
Looking at the noblewoman's face, flushed with excitement, Eugene's expression was playful.
He had bet on the woman's three measurements.
The first two items had already come true.
If the third round did the same, the value of these chips would exceed 3.6 billion.
At that point, he would undoubtedly step into the ranks of Orario's top tycoons!
However, could it really be this easy?
Setting aside whether the effect of Strong Luck can last.
The casino staff have already begun to intervene.
Tap, tap, tap.
The crisp sound of leather soles conveyed restlessness.
A group of neatly dressed men in black parted the crowd and appeared behind Eugene.
"Finally, they're here."
Eugene glanced back.
He saw that in the center of the tall guards, a stout-faced dwarf with a neatly trimmed beard was walking quickly toward him.
He is the owner of this casino.
And also one of Orario's foremost tycoons.
Terry Cervantes!
This dwarf tycoon suddenly appeared a few years ago.
Starting with the gambling industry, he quickly established his own business empire.
His financial power in the Entertainment District definitely ranks in the top three.
"I apologize for interrupting your enjoyment, sir."
"I am the operator of this casino, Terry Cervantes."
Terry raised his hand to his chest in a bow, presenting the air of a great noble.
"I offer my blessings on your earnings tonight."
"However, might I ask you to step aside for a private word?"
The people around slowly closed in, subtly adopting a posture to escort Eugene away.
However, none of the onlookers dared to step forward and speak up for him.
After all, this is the owner's territory.
If you win 100 million here and still want to keep winning, you're being somewhat unwise.
"My dear..."
The noblewoman also sensed the invisible pressure and looked at Eugene with some worry.
"Don't worry, the Ganesha Familia is outside. I believe Mr. Terry will give me a satisfactory answer."
Eugene lightly smiled as he let go of the noblewoman's arm, not forgetting to ask for her address before leaving.
"Please." Terry's eyes narrowed slightly, and he gestured the way.
The group quickly disappeared into a corner of the casino.
VIP Room
Eugene and Terry sat across from each other at a long mahogany table.
The room was filled with unsmiling guards, like an airtight wall, making the atmosphere quite stifling.
The only noteworthy detail was the maid who served tea to the two of them she had a graceful waist and attractive looks, a rare beauty.
Eugene knew that these glamorous, exceptionally beautiful women were all purchased by the seemingly proper, yet in fact, lecherous dwarf before him.
This point also occupies an important plotline in the side story.
"Two rounds, 120 million."
"May I ask how you achieved that?"
Terry's eyes were fixed directly on Eugene, who merely shrugged carelessly.
"I lost a full one million in your casino, and no one cared. Now that I've won, I have to be interrogated?"
Terry's face twitched.
"I apologize for your loss, but compared to that, I'm the one being swindled, aren't I?"
"The customer always wins and the establishment always pays," Eugene smiled. "It was your own person who spun the wheel."
"I was only responsible for picking the lucky number."
"Mr. Eugene..." Terry's expression grew darker.
"My subordinates reported that you were a relatively insignificant person yesterday."
"But after just one night, you're like a changed man, and you possess such an astonishing gambling talent."
"With all due respect, I'm afraid there's nothing simple about this, is there?"
Even after being thoroughly investigated, Eugene seemed completely unconcerned.
"Life always has its ups and downs. I simply gained clarity, and the path naturally opened before me."
He picked up the tea and took a sip, his eyes gleaming.
"Besides, I'm not the only one with a secret, am I?"
"Ted... ah, no, Mr. Terry?"
!!!
A seemingly normal slip of the tongue caused Terry's body to suddenly jolt, and his expression became extremely serious!
Ted?
How would he know my real name?
All those old acquaintances should have been killed off by me all these years ago!
Terry's eyes trembled, his gaze fixed on Eugene, and his fingers tightly gripped the tabletop.
Eugene remained silent, only a slight smile lingering on his lips.
A moment later, Terry couldn't bear it any longer and solemnly dismissed everyone.
"...How do you know, you little brat!"
"How dare you put on that pretentious act in front of me? This is my territory!"
Without an audience, Terry completely tore off his disguise, fully revealing the face of the former villain and thug.
"You won money and still dare to show off! Have you thought about how you want to die!?"
Terry certainly had the power to back up his threat.
Having operated for many years, his cronies were scattered throughout Orario, with connections running deep into the neighborhoods.
Huge monetary bribes had provided significant convenience for his operations.
However...
Everything was built upon the name Terry Cervantes.
"Ted, you don't really think that no one in the world recognizes that ugly face anymore, do you?"
Facing the other party's aggressive tone, Eugene gave a wild, arrogant smile.
"You were pounding your head and crying your eyes out under the skirt of Astraea, the Goddess of Justice, promising to repent, only to turn around and pull off this murder and identity theft routine?"
"Assassination, bribery, smuggling, human trafficking, fraud, falsifying accounts the dirty deeds you've done these past few years wouldn't even fill a book!"
Ted's brow furrowed, and his eyes widened.
This guy actually knew all of it?
He cannot be allowed to live!
"You wouldn't think I'd walk into this casino unprepared, would you?"
Eugene coldly laughed, completely fearless.
"You'd better think carefully; there are plenty of people in this city who want to take you down."
