Chapter 224: 【224】Is that all the courage the old senior has? _1
The entire casino table suddenly fell silent.
Everyone stared at Tang Feng as if they were struck dumb.
No one had expected him to continue to follow the bets, showing no intention of revealing his hand.
He had already staked 10 million!
What a high-stakes gamble, a mind-boggling one!
Even Zhou Bingrui felt his breathing become rapid.
He was used to tossing around large sums, but he had never participated in a gamble of this magnitude.
Just casually throwing in 10 million, even his heart could barely take it.
Not to mention Mao Anyi, her entire net worth probably didn’t even amount to this sum.
But there Tang Feng was, not even blinking an eye.
What in the world was he calculating?
Not just them, Tao Wenxing was also dumbfounded, staring blankly at Tang Feng, “You… You’re not revealing your hand?”
Tang Feng stretched, said with a smiling face, “We’ve barely started, haven’t we? What’s the matter? Running low on chips? I told you 5 million in chips wouldn’t be enough.”
Tao Wenxing’s expression changed repeatedly as if he was contemplating a strategy.
Tang Feng was growing impatient, “Are you following or not? It’s getting late, so can we not waste time, please?”
Tao Wenxing gritted his teeth and finally let out a sigh, “This round, I concede.”
As soon as he spoke, everyone on the scene was flabbergasted.
“What? Conceding? Elder Tao is actually conceding?”

“How can he concede? I just bet 100,000, all gone to waste?”
“Elder Tao, you can’t concede. This kid might just be bluffing you.”
“Yeah, Elder Tao, don’t be fooled by this kid…”
The gamblers immediately became anxious; many had just placed their bets on Tao Wenxing.
If Tao Wenxing conceded, they would lose this round too.
But Tao Wenxing didn’t heed their protests, repeating, “This round, I concede.”
He was wholly caught off guard by Tang Feng’s move.
To continue matching the bets, he would have to stake another 5 million, which would bring his total investment to 10 million.
If the opponent still refused to reveal his hand and continued placing bets…
Then this round may cost even more.
He truly couldn’t risk it.
Tang Feng shook his head in disappointment, “Why not follow? Does the elder not have even that much courage?”
As he spoke, Tang Feng lifted his paper cup.
The three dice showed 1-point, 2-point, 4-point—utterly terrible.
When Tao Wenxing saw the points, his face changed instantly, and he hurriedly uncovered his own paper cup.
5-point, 5-point, 3-point—a pair.
Tao Wenxing felt a surge of blood rushing to his chest, nearly spitting blood in anger.
A sure win, lost due to a moment’s hesitation, slipping victory right out of his hands.
He suddenly felt as though he was being played for a fool.
“Damn, I knew I could win this round, why concede?”
“Yeah, the kid only had a single 4, and he won?”
“Elder Tao has really… grown old, letting a youngster intimidate him like that.”
“Ah, there went my 100,000…”
While the crowd was cautious not to offend Tao Wenxing, their complaints were inevitable.
Hearing these remarks only added to Tao Wenxing’s frustration, his face alternating between shades of green and white, as he appeared on the verge of vomiting blood.
Noticing Tao Wenxing’s pallor, Tang Feng grew concerned, “Elder, shall we call our game at this point? If you get too worked up over it, I wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility.”
Instead of calming down, the more Tang Feng spoke, the angrier Tao Wenxing got. He slammed the table with a bang, “Kid, if I don’t teach you a profound lesson today, I…”
“Your name, Tao Wenxing, would be written backward. You already said that,” Tang Feng interjected in his annoyingly smug manner.
Tao Wenxing snorted coldly, turned to the croupier behind him, “Go get me more chips.”
The croupier bowed and asked, “Another 5 million this time?”
“Get 10 million!” Tao Wenxing’s voice was chilling.
“10 million?” The croupier hesitated.
Tao Wenxing had already been down 10 million from the previous rounds.
If another 10 million in chips were withdrawn, he would have a hard time explaining to the higher-ups!
“What, should I go get them myself?” Tao Wenxing’s steely gaze pinned the croupier.
“No… no need, I’ll go fetch them…” The croupier, not daring to waste another moment, rushed off to get the chips.
Zhou Bingrui seized the moment to keep the gambling going.
But this time, he collected less than 1 million in stakes.
Most gamblers, spooked by Tao Wenxing’s previous loss, decided to wait and see.
Only a few stubborn ones, believing in the Zhonghai Dice King’s skill, continued to bet.
Shortly, the croupier returned with his hands full of chips.
“Again.”
Tao Wenxing glared at Tang Feng, squeezing out two words.
Without waiting for Tang Feng’s agreement, he began to shake the dice.
Tang Feng, without further words, covered his cup, and started to gently shake it as well.
“1 million.” Tao Wenxing was the first to wager this time.
“I’ll match.” Tang Feng also didn’t beat around the bush and followed suit.
“2 million.”
“I’ll match.”
“3 million.”
“I’ll match…”
No matter how much Tao Wenxing bet, Tang Feng matched it.
Finally, both sides had wagered 10 million in chips.
A full 20 million in stakes, piled on the table like a small mountain, truly created quite an impact.
The gamblers were struck by the spectacle, murmuring among themselves.
“Reveal!”
Tao Wenxing bellowed as he uncovered his cup.
1-point, 2-point, 3-point—a straight.
“Whew…”
The crowd, seeing Tao Wenxing’s roll, lamented their earlier hesitation.
Had they known his roll would be so good this time, they would have bet on him.
As they turned green with regret, Tang Feng also slowly lifted his cup.
4-point, 5-point, 6-point—also a straight.
Tang Feng, won!
Zhou Bingrui and Mao Anyi, who had been worried, leapt up excitedly.
And the gamblers who regretted not betting on Tao Wenxing suddenly thanked their lucky stars.
Lucky they didn’t bet, or they would have lost miserably again!
