The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 517

Lily, seeing what was happening, became frantic and shouted indignantly, "Country boy, have you gone mad? Why are you still betting on Any Triple? Can't you hear that woman is conning you? She wants to win all the money in your pocket!"

"Relax Lily, I'm an honest man; Manly would never deceive me. If she said she rolled an Any Triple, then it must be one. So my twenty billion is bound to turn into two thousand billion!"

"Two thousand billion? Do you even realize what you're saying? Do you think every pretty woman is as kind-hearted as I am, not to trick you? Keep dreaming! I bet when those dice roll, you won't have a single penny left!"

Lily was sure that Manly wouldn't roll an Any Triple. After all, the odds are a hundred to one. That means if she indeed rolled an Any Triple, giving Danny another correct guess, it would cost the house 2,000 billion. If it’s not an Any Triple, even if Danny guesses right, it would only cost her 20 billion. And if Danny bets wrong, his loss would also be 20 billion. So, barring stupidity on Manly's part, she wouldn't roll an Any Triple again.

Who is Manly? She’s the sole female disciple of The Divine Star, a woman of extreme intelligence. How could she be foolish?

The surrounding onlookers started their commentary in earnest:

"How can this country boy be so foolish? Manly has just rolled an Any Triple; she wouldn't do it again!"

"If Manly rolls another Any Triple, she must be a complete idiot!"

"If a clear-headed woman like Manly is considered a fool, are there any women left in the world who aren't fools?"

"This country boy won so many rounds, and had amassed twenty billion. To think that he's now risking it all on another Any Triple, he must be really foolish!"

"Twenty billion is more than I would earn in a lifetime, and it's all gone! Such a shame, what a total waste!"

After much speculation and concern from the crowd, Manly turned to Danny with a taunting smile, "Country boy, are you certain about keeping your bet on Any Triple, unchanged?"

"Unchanged!" Danny replied succinctly.

"Alright then, keep your eyes wide open and let's see if I roll another Any Triple." Manly slowly lifted the cage while secretly channeling her Genki, intending to flip the three threes into a one, two, and five.

One, two, five—eight points for a low result. As long as it wasn’t an Any Triple, Danny would lose. Manly would win back the twenty billion Danny had just bet.

The cage opened, and everyone was taken aback.

Three fours? Another Any Triple?

Manly was dumbfounded. She couldn't believe her eyes. She had manipulated the results with her Genki, aiming for one, two, and five; how did it turn out to be three fours?

As Manly stood there flabbergasted, Danny cheekily gave his thanks, "Thank you, Manly! You really do care for me; you never lied. You said it was Any Triple, and it was indeed Any Triple?"
