Elena smiled. She still had a thousand yuan worth of chips. Zhou Xuan's gaze was clearly directed at her. She figured she might as well treat it as a game. Besides, she had just seen how lucky Zhou Xuan was. Why not give it a try?
When Elena threw her chips at Zhou Xuan, Li Junjie didn't hesitate and placed ten large chips worth $10,000 each, betting $100,000.
No one else placed a bet yet; they just watched.
John smiled and said, "Alright, let's open the pot!"
The dealer opened the dice cup and announced, "One, three, three, seven is low, the player wins!"
Elena and the Wolf brothers cheered immediately. They never expected Zhou Xuan to be so lucky. Even on the second floor, his luck remained strong.
Li Junjie chuckled inwardly. This Zhou Xuan was quite interesting. It seemed that appearances could be deceiving. If he really thought it was just luck, he would never believe it.
Li Junjie was subjected to various forms of training by his maternal grandfather, Fu Yuhai, in Chinatown from a young age. Growing up in such an environment, he became an extremely shrewd person. He also had some knowledge of gambling techniques and had done in-depth research on them. If a person did not cheat, it would be absolutely impossible to win so many games in a row by luck alone.
Therefore, Li Junjie believed that Zhou Xuan had used some kind of method to win money. Although he couldn't figure it out, he was certain it wasn't just luck.
John didn't change his expression. Winning and losing in gambling is normal. Once the game starts, you have to consider the possibility of losing.
The dealer paid out the chips, not too many; including Li Junjie's, the total was only 146,000.
The dealer gestured, then put the cups together and shook the dice again. In the previous round, she didn't use any special techniques, just shook it casually, but Zhou Xuan hit very accurately, probably because he had super hearing. This time, the dealer used more force with both wrists, and only a very faint sound came from the dice cup.
This female dealer has practiced this technique for a long time. She can place three dice close to the edge of the dice cup, changing the dice's value without making a sound. It's very impressive and is specifically designed to deal with dice cup experts with exceptional hearing.
After the dealer calmly placed the dice cup on the table, he spread his hands out to indicate that he was in control.
Zhou Xuan glanced at the dealer and saw that although she pretended to be calm, a faint hint of smugness had been revealed in her eyes. He thought to himself, "If it were anyone else, you'd be smug, but the person in front of her is me, Zhou Xuan. She can only accept her bad luck!"
This dealer's skills are truly impressive. He's John's star player, specializing in dealing with expert or wealthy players. He just used his skills to roll a triple three of threes on the dice!
Of course, even rolling the numbers so accurately isn't 100% for her; she usually only has a 70% chance. But in that last roll, she really exceeded expectations.
Zhou Xuan smiled slightly. He had a total of 292,000 US dollars in chips in front of him, including the principal and interest. Without asking Li Junjie, the Wolf Brothers, or Elena if they were willing, he pushed the chips to the center of the table with both hands and said, "I'm betting all three threes this round!"
Apart from Li Junjie, Johnny, Fu Ying, and Wang Jue, no one else could understand what Zhou Xuan was saying. Fu Ying and Wang Jue were not interested in the dice cup and did not know how to play, so they were not surprised.
Only Li Junjie and his cousin Johnny were truly surprised!
"Is Zhou Xuan sure?" Li Junjie stared at Zhou Xuan, unsure whether he had misheard or misspoke.
Zhou Xuan smiled at Li Junjie and said, "Mr. Li, please translate: all three threes are a leopard!"
Only then did Li Junjie realize that Zhou Xuan wasn't confused. He shook his head and said to John, "Bet all three threes on a triple!"
John was taken aback. This Zhou Xuan did indeed have the boldness of a big gambler. Betting on a leopard was like getting a straight flush or blackjack in blackjack – extremely rare. If it came down to luck, it was something you could only hope for, not something you could ask for. When you really wanted it, it wouldn't come; when you didn't expect it, it would come.
In the dice rules, if a player rolls a triple, the house wins all bets if the player bets on any other category. However, if the player correctly rolls a triple, the house has to pay out odds of up to tens of times the bet.
John just explained the rules: the odds for a leopard are 48.
The Wolf Brothers and Elena, who were still celebrating their win, were suddenly stunned when Li Junjie said that Zhou Xuan had bet on three threes of a kind. They wanted to take their chips back, but Zhou Xuan had already pushed them out. Casino rules state that once a bet is placed, it cannot be returned. They were filled with regret. Why didn't they take them back earlier? With Zhou Xuan betting like this, their luck was probably about to run out!
Li Junjie remained calm and composed. At this moment, he could only choose to support Zhou Xuan. Even if he lost, he would just consider it as not having won before.
But after he translated Zhou Xuan's words, John's expression was fine, but the sexy female dealer's face changed drastically, turning as white as paper in an instant, and her fingers began to tremble.
This leopard move was intended to completely devour Zhou Xuan's chips, but unexpectedly, he was still as accurate as if he had seen it with his own eyes after lifting the dice cup. Not only did he fail to devour his opponent, but he also had to pay Zhou Xuan and his group 14,016,000 US dollars. This responsibility and pressure were not something she could bear!
And these dice are not remotely controlled dice; the numbers cannot be changed under the watchful eyes of everyone.
John noticed that the dealer had hesitated for a long time without opening the dice cup. He glanced at her and saw that the female dealer was staring blankly, so he hummed and opened the dice cup himself.
As soon as the dice cup was lifted, everyone at the table fell silent, but only for a moment before the Wolf brothers and Elena embraced and celebrated wildly.
Inside the dice cup, three dice, shaped like dice, had three dots facing up—truly three threes forming a leopard!

Volume One: The First Signs of Growth, Chapter Eighteen: The Killer in the Atlantic
John finally understood why the dealer was standing still and not opening the dice cup!
In fact, John was also unable to calm himself down. Fourteen million US dollars was a profit that their casino could only earn in half a year!
John almost refused to pay. The casino only followed the rules for regular players to continue profiting from them, and besides, they were unlikely to win such a large sum. If something went wrong, the underworld had plenty of ways to avoid paying and silence the player. (WENXUEMi.COM)
But the Fu family in Chinatown is not an ordinary player to be trifled with. If this money is not paid today, my casino may run into all sorts of problems tomorrow. Or I should just kill these people and dump their bodies into the Atlantic Ocean!
But despite his thoughts, John dared not do anything he imagined.
Not to mention the Fu family, even Johnny is someone John can't afford to offend. Although the Johnny family isn't as wealthy and powerful as the Fu family, they have a considerable reputation in the underworld. The "Black Family" of New York is among the top of dozens of the most famous gangs.
John shook his head, took the check, signed a check for fourteen million, and handed it to Li Junjie, saying with a wry smile, "Mr. Li, Mr. Johnny, I don't think there's any need to continue this gambling game. If we keep playing, I'm afraid this casino will have to be run by your Fu family!"
Li Junjie took the check and flicked it with his finger. He wasn't worried that John's check was a bad one. Of course, John's words were also a sign of helplessness and a tacit admission of defeat. There was no enmity between them, so why push them to the brink? He smiled and said, "OK!"
The happiest people were the Wolf brothers and Elena, who had bet on Zhou Xuan. Elena's $1,000 turned into $96,000 in two transactions, and the Wolf brothers also had $432,000.
Zhou Xuan himself had about 3.6 million, but Li Junjie profited the most.
Li Junjie's original intention was to take everyone out for a relaxing trip, but he unintentionally made Zhou Xuan make a fortune for him. He then happily took everyone out for a big meal.
During the banquet, the Wolf brothers chuckled and asked Wang Jue to translate for them, inquiring about Zhou Xuan's impressive gambling skills.
Zhou Xuan laughed and said that he had trained his hearing and was 60-70% confident in his ability to read dice. He was lucky today and his dealer rolled a triple.
This reason was barely plausible. On a whim, Wolf went to the restaurant and asked the waiter for a dice cup used by customers to play drinking games. He then shook it on the table and asked Zhou Xuan to guess.
