Chapter 1748
Now that he wasn’t holding back anymore, Gerald naturally wanted to continue the game.
Not finding it odd that Gerald suddenly looked much more interested in the game, Xanry simply replied, “Of course
we’ll continue! After all, we’ve only played a few rounds! I won’t be going easy on you after this, Mr. Crawford!”
Hearing that same sentence again, Gerald found himself getting increasingly fed up with those words. Xanry was
way too confident for his own good. However, the more confident he was, the more arrogant he became, and
when that happened, Gerald knew for a fact that things wouldn’t end well for him.
With that, both of them quickly began shaking their dice again.
While Gerald only shook his dice for around two seconds, Xanry continued shaking his own dice for quite a while.

dice, Xanry wouldn’t be able to escape Gerald’s keen hearing. Still, the fact that Xanry thought that shaking his dice
longer could confuse Gerald was honestly laughable.
When Xanry finally stopped rolling, he then declared, “It’s finally my turn to start first, Mr. Crawford!”
Though it had been a while since Gerald had last played, he clearly remembered that the one who had lost had the
right to shout first. Then again, so what if Xanry could shout first? It was impossible for him to win in the end.
Shaking the dice longer was pretty much only a waste of energy.
Regardless, Gerald was quickly able to tell that Xenry’s dice showed three sixes, one five, and one four. Since his
dice rolls this round wasn’t all that great, his chances of winning had become even slimmer than before.
Following that, Xanry then shouted, “Three twos!”
Momentarily caught by surprise, Gerald hadn’t expected Xanry to actually shout a number that he didn’t even have
in his roll. It almost seemed like he was trying to trap him… Of course, Gerald wasn’t about to let Xanry have his
way.
With that, he chose not to open Xanry’s dice just yet. If he did, it would just be too obvious.
Instead, Gerald shouted out the numbers of his own dice, that being, “Three fives!”
Hearing that, Xanry was definitely not going to open Gerald’s dice. After all, the possibility of having three fives was
simply too low.
After that, Xanry then yelled, “Four fours!”
“Open!” declared Gerald. Since Gerald didn’t have a single four, if he didn’t open now, how much longer would he
have to wait?
While Xanry found himself stunned, he quickly snapped out of it before opening his dice…
Due to Gerald not having any fours and Xanry having one, it was evident that Xanry had lost this round as well.

To think that such results would turn up… He truly had brought ruin upon himself again…
Watching as Xanry’s expression soured, Gerald apologetically said, “Sorry monitor, guess I win again!”
Though Xanry was vexed out of his mind when he heard that, there was nothing he could do. After all, both Juno
and Ruth had been watching them play this entire time. It was impossible for him to go back on his own bet.
With that, the resigned Xanry could only return the remaining seventy-five dollars that he had just won back to
Gerald.
As the saying went, ‘things would always return to their rightful owners’.
With the hundred and fifty dollars back, Gerald smiled as he turned to face Xanry while saying, “I think we shouldn’t
play any longer, monitor! It’s not good to gamble this much!”
While his words were kind, Gerald was well aware that saying that would only further provoke Xanry into playing
more.
