"I've agreed to play, but I should be the one to decide what to bet on. Since you're the Goddess of Gamblers, you wouldn't mind me picking, would you?" Chuck said.
Yvette had translated the comments from the onlookers to him. He didn't really care about what they said.
He could gamble with her. However, he knew that other than his good hearing, he didn't have any other skills that would help him win.
"Sure, as long as it's a bet," Natasha laughed.
As a pro gambler, she was well versed in anything that was related to gambling. Even if Chuck was the one who decided on what game to bet on, the outcome would still be the same. She would still end up winning back all the money he had won.
She would go ahead and entertain his request. She only hoped that it would be a fun one.
"Alright, let's play dice then," Chuck said.
His ears would be useful if they played this.
"No problem. Get me the dice!" Natasha smirked. Was this man mad? Why would he pick a simple dice game like this? She was a pro at this!
He was going to lose for sure!
The crowd that was invested in them before had suddenly lost their interest after hearing Chuck's proposal. Was he trying to dig his own grave?
Playing a simple dice game with the Goddess of Gamblers? Only a fool would make that suggestion!
Any other card game would literally be better than dice shaking!
This game depended greatly on skill, which he didn't seem to even possess.
How did someone like this win eight billion dollars just now?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Eventually, a dealer came over with the dice.
"How are we playing the game? How much do you wanna play for?" Chuck asked.
"Don't you have nearly nine billion dollars now? I will bet six billion with you! If you win two out of three games, I will give you six billion. If you lose, then you'll have to pay me six billion dollars!" Natasha said with a sneer.
"That's a bit too much, isn't it?" Chuck muttered lowly. Couldn't they just play for five hundred million per game?
Winning two out of three rounds was a test of psyche!
Yvette was worried. The bet was indeed huge.
Betty on the other hand didn't feel much of anything. After all, she had witnessed how Karen gambled before.
"That's right. Why, are you refusing now?" Natasha smirked. Chuck had fallen hook, line and sinker for the bet. He couldn't possibly step down from this now.
She would never allow him to back out at this point.
It was impossible.
"Why would I refuse?" Chuck scoffed. He didn't care either way. The money he was betting with wasn't his own anyways.
"Alright then. Let's begin!"
Natasha picked up the dice cup.
"Hold on a minute. We haven't agreed on the rules of the game yet. Let's make a guess each time: either big or small," Chuck said.
He couldn't play dice with her. Being a pro gambler, who knew what sort of tricks she had up her sleeves?
He would never be able to beat her.
Chuck did not have the skills to do it.
"Alright. I'll leave it up to you then," she said. The outcome would still be the same to her.
"You, come and shake the dice!" Natasha pointed to a beautiful dealer nearby.
Soon enough, the dealer made her way over.
"Hubby, I'll go shake the dice," Yvette suggested. She was afraid that the casino dealer would play tricks on the dice so she volunteered to do it instead.
"Who the hell knows how stuff like that works around here?" Yvette thought. "Alright... Hey, hold on, my wife here wants to shake the dice," Chuck said loudly.
"No problem," Natasha answered, unbothered.
The onlookers were disappointed with Chuck's decisions. No matter how he much tried to change the rules, they knew that he would still be defeated in the end.
He was playing up against Natasha after all.
"Hubby, I believe in you! You got this!" Yvette quietly cheered for him.
"I will. I'll give the money to you if I win this," Chuck said.
"I don't want it. Keep it for yourself, go on!" Yvette shook her head and walked towards the table's centre to shake the cup of dice.
"I will start shaking, and then you and my husband have to make a guess," Yvette stared at Natasha as she said.
Natasha didn't expect Blood Leopard to be so well spoken. But what was the use anyways? Anyone who broke the rules of the killer organisation must die.
"Sure," she agreed. She had no objections and couldn't wait to win this.
Soon enough, Yvette began to shake the dice. Chuck listened to the dice rattling attentively until she stopped.
Chuck contemplated a few moments at that.
Yvette looked at him with a hint of worry. Her eyes were silently encouraging him. "Big!" Came a yell.
There was a smug smile on Natasha's face as she said that. She had already known what the dice were displaying the moment Yvette stopped shaking the cup.
This was too simple. It was the basic skill of every pro gambler.
