Winning
With this stakes increased, Tesoro became even more eager to know who would ultimately emerge victorious.
Meanwhile, on the scene, Saint Geruro's face instantly turned ashen. He never expected Haku to make such a request. He glared at Haku as if he wanted to devour her alive!
But in the end, he forced down his anger and sneered, "Hmph, what arrogance! However, since you're so confident, it's settled then. But if you lose, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As he spoke, he grabbed a whip that he had somehow produced and lashed it at the slaves he had brought with him!
It's as if by doing this he could punish Haku prematurely!
Haku smiled calmly, as if everything was under control. He turned to Tanaka and said, "Please prepare a fair set of dice and a gambling table for me. Let's begin."
Although Tanaka was filled with curiosity and unease about the outcome of the gamble, he quickly prepared everything needed, following Haku's instructions.
This is different from the usual dice rolling!
The dice-rolling at the Golden Ship Casino is done by the Casino's dealer, Dice, a member of Tesoro's staff!
And the dice provided by the Casino are not ordinary dice!
Unlike regular dice, the dice at Tesoro Casino are much larger.
Moreover, it's quite heavy!
These specially made dice, each side inlaid with tiny gold patterns, shimmer alluringly under the light, as if each roll carries endless wealth and a turning point in destiny.
Dice walked up to the two dice, carrying his weapon, an axe.
The axe was originally intended to be used to break the dice cup and see the betting results, but since Dice preferred to break the dice cup with his head, the axe was completely meaningless.
Haku had already walked to the gambling table.
Saint Geruro also stepped aside, distancing himself from Haku.
Rolling dice, as a form of gambling with a high degree of randomness, often symbolizes fate and an unpredictable Future.
Dice raised the two dice and tossed them into the air!
With a flick of Dice arm, two enormous golden dice streaked through the air like meteors, leaving behind dazzling golden trails before converging in mid-air. They then plummeted down, crashing heavily into the slot of the dice cup that Dice had simultaneously tossed into the air, producing a dull, powerful sound.
The entire Casino seemed to tremble, everyone's eyes fixed on the dice cup's trajectory, holding their breath in anticipation.
Haku and Saint Geruro exchanged a glance, their eyes both gleaming with tension and anticipation.
Haku clasped her hands gently across her chest, maintaining a composed demeanor, while Saint Geruro clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms, revealing his inner anxiety and unease.
Next, you need to choose the size!
Haku and Nagellok exchanged a glance, both their eyes revealing a sense of certainty in their victory.
Before Haku could speak, Saint Geruro blurted out, "I choose the smaller one!"
After saying that, he glanced at Haku as if he had the victory in his grasp.
That look seemed to say, "You are destined to become my slave!"
Haku shrugged, not minding that Saint Geruro spoke first.
He wrapped his right arm around Baccarat's waist, pulling her close, and said casually, "Then I'll choose the big one! Let's open the pot!"
With his signature move—using his head as a hammer— Dice slammed the dice cup on the table. A loud crash followed, and the cup shattered, revealing two dice that remained motionless on the table. The golden patterns shone even brighter under the lights, each facet clearly displaying its number, eliciting gasps of amazement from the crowd.
In the Monitoring Room, Tesoro's sharp gaze swept over the numbers on the dice, a playful smile playing on his lips. He knew that this gamble was not just a contest between Haku and Saint Geruro, but also a test of humanity, intelligence, and luck.
Haku and Saint Geruro stepped forward to check the results, their expressions instantly becoming complicated.
Haku nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with the result, while Saint Geruro's face grew even more somber, as if he had a premonition of something bad happening.
"The points are in, the outcome is decided." Mr. Tanaka's voice rang out at the opportune moment. He glanced around to make sure everyone had witnessed the moment. "According to the bet, Saint Geruro, you need to fulfill your promise."
"No! Impossible! How could I lose!"
Saint Geruro's voice echoed through the Casino, filled with disbelief and despair. He rushed to the gambling table, staring wide-eyed at the two dice, as if trying to find some clue to overturn the facts before him.
However, the numbers on the dice were clear and unmistakable, mercilessly announcing his defeat.
"Hey! Trash! A bet's a bet." Haku's voice was calm and firm. He gently patted Baccarat's hand, signaling her to step back behind him, then walked step by step toward Saint Geruro, his eyes filled with mockery towards this Celestial Dragon! At the same time, Haku's eyes were also warning the soon-to-be unruly member of the Knights of God.
Saint Geruro's body trembled slightly. He clenched his teeth, trying to find any opening in Haku's eyes to escape reality. But Haku's eyes were like an abyss, deep and unfathomable, leaving him feeling powerless.
"I... I..." Saint Geruro's voice choked with emotion. He knew he couldn't change the outcome, but he was unwilling to admit defeat. Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, he abruptly raised his head, his eyes flashing with unwavering resolve. "Tesoro, I need a chance! I'm willing to trade a slave for a chance to renegotiate!"
"A slave?" Tesoro was completely puzzled, having never had any dealings with that Celestial Dragon's slave.
Almost instantly, he stared at Saint Geruro with eyes wide with rage.
There was only one slave who had any connection with the Celestial Dragon: his first love Stella!
Haku glanced at Saint Geruro with disdain; he knew that this man's grandfather was the Supreme Commander of the Knights of God!
His men will definitely investigate Tesoro's true background and what happened to him!
Haku said calmly, "Do you think any slave could last more than a few days in the hands of this bunch of trash? Especially considering how many years have passed!"
Everyone stared blankly at Haku, feeling that what Haku was saying was beyond their comprehension.
Upon hearing Haku's words in the Monitoring Room, Tesoro quickly regained his composure, and his expression became much calmer.
After Haku's reminder, he realized that Saint Geruro was using a person who no longer existed to trick him!
At the same time, he also knew that he was originally a slave of the Celestial Dragon, and the Celestial Dragon knew it too!
