Chapter 691: Chapter 691: Gambling on Stones
Baldy chuckled, "Since I promised my sister, naturally there’s nothing I can’t handle. However, it really seems like Sang Ji doesn’t know you, and with those looks of his, he’s not exactly handsome. Don’t tell me you’ve taken a fancy to him?"
To him, it wasn’t a big deal; Sang Ji wasn’t worth his attention. As long as Bai Xiao was happy, he’d genuinely be willing to hand him over.
But today he felt particularly good.
He craved some excitement.
"That’s none of your business. I have my reasons for wanting him. Just tell me if you’ll hand him over or not!" Bai Xiao said with a charming smile, confident that Baldy wouldn’t refuse her, especially considering the Dragon Stone-type’s face value.
She had observed An Zhiyuan and the others for a quite a while. Although they were disguised well, it was a pity that she still noticed An Zhiyuan was after Sang Ji.
Meaning Sang Ji was An Zhiyuan’s target.
Therefore, she had no reason to willingly place her man in danger in front of someone else. It’s not about fearing theft, it’s about fearing the thief’s attention.
These past two years it’s been about preventing fire, theft, and betrayal.
She wasn’t oblivious to this woman’s thoughts. She hadn’t settled accounts with An Zhiyuan that night, and now it’s not like she could be petty about it, but it’s also not wise to keep hazards close.
"Doctor Bai, your request isn’t too much, and as your brother, I have agreed to it. But, brother has a request too," Baldy demanded without the slightest hint of embarrassment.
Bai Xiao almost felt like spitting blood.
Isn’t that too much of a demand?
Can’t you have a bit of shame? But of course, Baldy wouldn’t care about that. It never occurred to Bai Xiao that a person who ruled over others could have the character of Baldy.
"This request definitely isn’t too much. I just want to have a thrill. Bet with me once; I want to see if my sister’s luck is really that good?" Baldy habitually rubbed his bald head, but no one dared to let their guard down. Every move of his could mean life or death.
Bai Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, "Since big brother wants to gamble, of course, little sister would keep you company!"
Winning a bet isn’t easy, neither is losing.
Baldy slapped his large palm down, "Good, that’s the spirit, I like your straightforwardness."
He had already started striding through the venue until he found a piece he was satisfied with. Bai Xiao then pointed to a piece of rock closest to herself, which was a decorative artificial mountain—essentially a pile of scrap stone.
Baldy was displeased, "Sister, are you looking down on me?"
That was far too casual.
"Big brother! Stone Gambling is all about the thrill, I want to see if my luck can turn stone into gold."
"I love the way you put it, sister. Someone, prepare for the Stone Gambling."
Bai Xiao looked around, An Zhiyuan and Wu Yalan had already left.
She felt a bit annoyed.
As the electric saw was plugged in, did anyone really pay attention to the Stone Gambling?
One by one, they quickly snuck away, taking the chance to escape while Baldy wasn’t watching, fearing some disaster might unfold later.
Sang Ji also wanted to leave, but he was stopped by armed guards. Four bodyguards were simply no match; as soon as they glared, they were smacked on the head with a gun and pushed down. Anyone who dared to glare at Baldy here was clearly tired of living.
The roaring sound refocused everyone’s attention.
The stone Baldy had chosen was already lifted into place, and the Stone Gambling master carefully made a cut along the line Baldy had drawn.
As expected, with one slice, a glossy green seeped out, and everyone cheered. It turned out to be a premium Glass-type, even though it wasn’t Emperor Green, it was still incredibly valuable.
