Chapter 51: Uh Oh!

'Well, that started with a big oof…' Rudy uttered inwardly.

"Tsk!" the girl clicked her tongue and muttered, "I always lose the opening bets."

The girl placed her bets on the same number again and said, "Straight, again!"

Out of curiosity, Rudy also placed the bets on the same number again.

The girl looked at Rudy with a weird glare in her eyes and said, "You better not be taking this lightly."

"I am not."

"Hah!" Angelica laughed out loud and said, "You are clearly messing around since it's not your money!"

'Shut up!'

The dealer spun the wheel, and once again, the ball didn't stop on any of the numbers Rudy and the girl had betted on. They lost 24k$ again.

Furious, the girl placed the bet on the same number again.

Rudy was baffled by the girl's action. She was either too clever or too stupid.

However, Rudy didn't bet on the same number again. Instead, he placed his bet worth 2k$ on the number 17.

"I will go single," he said.

The dealer spun the wheel, and it spun for a few seconds before slowing down.

The tension in the air was unimaginable.

The ball rolled on the number and eventually stopped on number 17.

"...!" Out of all four of them, Rudy was the most surprised since he didn't even think before placing the bet.

The dealer gave Rudy chips worth 70k$, plus the original bet.

"..."

Rudy glanced at the girl, hoping she would be frustrated that she had lost three times in a row. But instead, she was grinning at Rudy.

"I knew it!" she said. "You have super luck!"

"Uhh…"

"It's like you have a superpower that gives you super luck!" Angelica yelled in Rudy's ears.

'I… don't think luck is a superpower, though. And don't yell in my ears!'

The girl turned to the dealer and said, "What do you think, Matthew?"

"I have been a dealer for ten years now, and I have to admit that this guy's luck is exceptional," Matthew asserted.

"See?" the girl smirked at Rudy.

'Why are 'you' smirking?! He is talking about me, not you.'

Rudy opened his mouth to say something, but Matthew interrupted him and said:

"But I don't think there is such a thing as super luck. Luck is a charm," he stated.

Angelica squinted her eyes at Rudy and said, "Luck is a superpower, right?"

The girl turned to Rudy and said, "What do you think?"

Matthew looked at Rudy and said, "Luck is a charm."

"No, it's not." Rudy furrowed his brows in annoyance and said, "Luck is not a charm, nor a superpower. Luck is… luck. Don't freaking make it more complicated than it already is."

"No." Angelica shook her head and said, "Luck is a superpower."

'If it was truly a superpower, then I wouldn't have lost the other bets…'

The girl placed her bet on the six numbers Rudy had betted in the first two rounds, but instead of 2k$, she betted 2.5K$ on five numbers and 2k$ on the last one. Now, the girl didn't have a single chip left to bet.

She looked at Rudy with a smile on her face and said, "Your turn."

Rudy placed a 2.5k$ bet on the number 31.

Matthew spun the wheel, and the ball stopped on one of the bets the girl had chosen.

"Yay!" she jumped in joy.

Matthew took Rudy's and the rest of the chips from the table and gave the chips worth 87.5k$, plus the betting amount, to the girl.

She lost 47.5k$ and won 87.5k$ in return.

The girl turned to Rudy and said, "One last game."

She placed a 2.5k$ bet on numbers 26 and 29 as singles. And Rudy placed the bet on number 20.

Matthew spun the wheel, and the ball didn't stop at either of their numbers.

"Oh, come on~!" the girl groaned loudly with a sigh.

Rudy scoffed softly and said, "Are you satisfied now?"

The girl nodded and said, "Thanks for playing with me."

Rudy gave all the chips worth 67k$ to the girl and said, "Here is all your money, including the original amount and the winnings."

"But… that wasn't the deal…" the girl muttered.

"Yeah, it wasn't. But I don't want them," Rudy said in a calm voice. "It was a nice game."

Rudy didn't want to have any involvement with the girl or any favors. Besides, he could earn the same amount, if not more, if he wanted. He could cheat his way and win every game, but Rudy had planned to earn 10k$ only, although he ended up earning nearly 20k$.

The girl moved her hand forward to shake hands with Rudy and stared at him with an innocent smile on her face.

"Once again, thanks for playing with me," she said in a calm voice.

Rudy shook hands with the girl and said, "It was a pleasure."

"Can I know your name?" she asked with a curious look on her face.

'I… don't want to tell my real name, but… it shouldn't matter since there could be many more Rudy in the world. Furthermore, even my appearance is different, so they wouldn't be able to find me even if they wanted to.'

"My name is Rudy," Rudy replied while shaking hands with the girl. "May I have your name?"

"My name is Maria. Maria Ross," the girl replied with a grin on her face.

"Nice to meet you, Maria." Rudy shot a glance at Angelica to see her pouting for some reason.

After shaking hands with Maria, Rudy took the chips and made his way to the counter to get them exchanged.

Rudy gave 15 Maroon chips, five purple chips, 20 black chips, 12 orange, and two red. All the chips were worth 19630$.

"Would you like to receive them in cash or online deposit?" the man at the counter asked.

'I don't have a bank account yet, so I will go with the cash.'

"I would like them in cash, please," Rudy responded in a calm voice.

"Alright." The man placed the money on the counter and said, "Show your ID and take the money."

"..."

"Uh oh…" Angelica covered her mouth in shock.
