My happy life in a courtyard house with triplets.

Chapter 517: The 1,000 Million Bet

Jessica gently shook her head: "The top floor is not something we lower-level employees can access. I only know that the minimum bet for one person on the second floor is one hundred million."

"I see. Sit down and keep me company."

As soon as Zhang Lei sat down, two or three men walked over to him.

Jessica lowered her voice and warned, "Sir, please be careful. These people are regulars at the casino. Since you're a new face, they're probably planning to give you a hard time."

Zhang Lei remained calm, not taking it to heart at all, and said to the dealer, "Since everyone is here, let's start the game."

He turned to look at the nearly 300-pound white fat man beside him, and Jessica introduced him: "This is Taylor, a regular at casinos, flamboyant and fond of boasting."

He then pointed to the black man next to him: "His name is Kevin, he's also a regular here, you must be careful."

Zhang Lei chuckled lightly: "Don't worry, I've always had good luck."

After saying that, he raised his hand and gently patted Jessica's chest. Jessica was caught off guard and let out a soft cry.

Zhang Lei smiled broadly: "Help me get some good luck later. If I win, I'll give you a 5% tip."

Jessica's eyes lit up instantly; five percent of ten million chips was undoubtedly a huge sum. She excitedly hugged Zhang Lei and gave him a kiss: "Mr. Zhang Lei, you are so incredibly generous."

"With your good luck, I'm sure I'll dominate tonight."

Just then, Taylor, standing to the side, spoke with disdain, mocking, "You Asian monkey, what are you so arrogant about? You think you can dominate everyone?"

Kevin chimed in, "That's right, this is American territory, not a place for you Asians to run wild. Today, let us teach you some manners."

The two men's harsh words instantly turned Zhang Lei's gaze cold. He slowly raised his eyes and looked at them: "Since you two insist on teaching this newcomer a lesson, how about we make a bet?"

Taylor scoffed, "A bet? Do you have enough to bet?"

"It's just a little gambling for fun, dare you accept the challenge?"

Kevin quickly urged, "Taylor, agree to his request and teach this newcomer a lesson."

Taylor thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Okay, how do we bet?"

"Using this table as the limit, the total profit tonight will be compared, and the loser will pay the winner ten million US dollars."

Upon hearing about the ten million bet, Taylor and Kevin's expressions changed drastically.

Kevin abruptly stood up and shouted angrily, "You Asian monkey, you're asking for ten million? Can you even come up with that?"

Jessica immediately stood up to defend Zhang Lei: "Kevin, don't be so rude! Mr. Zhang Lei just exchanged ten million chips, he's not someone you can mess with."

She pointed to the large amount of chips piled on the table, and Taylor and Kevin realized that the opponent's chips were all top denominations of $100,000 each, and they immediately felt intimidated.

Taylor's tone softened: "A bet of ten million is far too extravagant."

Zhang Lei said calmly, "Ten million is nothing, just something to play around with. If you don't dare to accept the challenge, then let's call it a day, but you must apologize to me for your rudeness just now."

"I'll never apologize to you!"

Zhang Lei's eyes suddenly turned cold: "You don't have to apologize. There are ten million chips on the table, enough to buy your hands. In this gambling city, there are plenty of desperate gamblers willing to pay a lot of money."

Taylor froze, too terrified to utter another word. Kevin quickly shut up as well, fearing he would be threatened as well.

The commotion attracted the attention of floor manager Ethan, who quickly approached and asked with concern, "Mr. Zhang Lei, what happened? Are you in trouble?"

Zhang Lei pointed at Taylor and Kevin: "These two insulted me in public. They either need to sincerely apologize or honor the bet."

Ethan's face darkened, and he was just about to mediate when a mocking voice suddenly rang out.

"Taylor and Kevin, you two penniless losers, bullying the newbies again?"

Upon seeing the newcomers, Taylor and Kevin, as if grasping at a lifeline, immediately exclaimed, "Frank, this Asian man is being arrogant and domineering because he's rich! He's forcing us to apologize and even wants to bet ten million dollars with us!"

Zhang Lei looked at Frank, who was walking slowly towards him. Frank was dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary aura, so it was obvious that he was very wealthy.

Frank looked at Zhang Lei with disdain: "So it's you who's acting so arrogantly here?"

"I wasn't the arrogant one; it was the two people behind you who spoke ill of me," Zhang Lei said calmly. "They must apologize for what happened today. Are you going to stand up for them?"

Frank scoffed, "These two pieces of trash aren't worthy of my backing. But seeing as you have considerable wealth, you're qualified to gamble with me."

"Okay, you place your bet."

"Just as you said, ten million US dollars."

Zhang Lei casually took out a card and looked at Ethan: "Manager Ethan, would you please be a witness?"

Ethan weighed the options and agreed with a smile.

Upon hearing about the multi-million dollar bet, gamblers gathered around, eager to witness the game firsthand.

At the same time, Zhang Lei secretly contacted the system and spent 20 million US dollars to exchange for a God-level Gambling Skill Card and a God-level Cheating Skill Card in the system's store.

The two cards instantly merged into his consciousness, and countless top-notch gambling techniques and hidden cheating skills flooded his mind. In an instant, he possessed the experience and skill of a top gambler for decades.

Frank sat down, with millions of chips of equal value laid out in front of him, exuding confidence.

The dealer officially begins dealing the cards.

Zhang Lei looked up at Frank: "This is my first time visiting, so please set an example for me."

Frank said with a mocking smile, "Since you're so overconfident, I'll teach you a lesson."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed out a chip worth $100,000: "Let's play a small game first, just to warm up."

In contrast, Zhang Lei remained calm and pushed all ten million US dollars worth of chips onto the table.

The shocking scene left everyone in the audience completely dumbfounded.

Frank's pupils contracted sharply as he looked at Zhang Lei in shock: "What are you doing?"

Zhang Lei smiled and looked at Frank, saying, "What's wrong? Is it not allowed?"

The gamblers around were all in an uproar when they saw Zhang Lei gambling like this.

Zhang Lei smiled and looked at Manager Ethan beside him, asking, "Manager Ethan, can't I bet ten million at once?"

Manager Ethan looked at Zhang Lei and calmly replied, "Sure, in this gambling city, you can bet as much as you want."

Zhang Lei made an indifferent gesture towards Frank.

Frank looked at Zhang Lei, thinking he was a madman, and frowned, saying, "Is this your first time playing? Aren't you afraid of losing everything? You need to understand that if you lose this round, you'll have to pay me an extra ten million."

Zhang Lei smiled faintly: "Gambling is a gamble. If you don't even have this much courage, how can you expect to win?"

After hearing Zhang Lei's words, everyone applauded, and even the dealers gave Zhang Lei flirtatious glances.
