Chapter 3278 First Win
“I’ve decided. Let’s play the 24 Game.”
Herman was full of confidence and his eyes were gleaming as if he had won the lottery.
At the gaming table, Megan felt slightly amused as she observed Herman at the side. She could see a
mixture of anticipation and fear in the man’s eyes. It seemed like he was very attracted to the risk-
taking nature of gambling.
The dealer had hyped up the atmosphere at the table and everyone had their eyes on her hands as
she dealt the cards, while feeling a rush of adrenaline.
“All the cards have been dealt,” the dealer announced.
Herman’s pupils constricted as he lifted the corner of his cards. The total of all his cards was just
fourteen.
Megan raised her brows as she turned her gaze towards Herman and saw his conflicted, and excited
expression. She no longer cared about that fifty thousand.
At that moment, other than winning, that man could no longer think about anything else. He had
already gotten addicted and was on the road to no return.
Indeed, it was impossible for Herman to stop there. He kept requesting more cards and soon, it was
time to reveal the cards.
For someone like Herman who was new to gambling, his addiction to gambling would only grow if he
kept winning, as he enjoyed the feeling of effortless gain.
“Ah! I won! Megan, these are all my winnings!” the man exclaimed.
The surrounding crowd was not surprised at the results when the cards were revealed. However, as it
was Herman’s first time at the gambling table, he bolted up from the chair excitedly and swept all the
chips towards himself.
The other gamblers who were at the table felt slightly uneasy at the sight and exchanged looks with
one another while glancing at their own cards dejectedly.
Megan let out a faint smile. At that instant, Herman looked nothing like the dashing and elegant
gentleman on screen. He was no different from a madman who was enjoying the taste of victory
without any restraint.
“Megan, let’s carry on! I have a feeling that I’ll be able to win a lot of money today!” Herman hugged his
chips and had a delightful expression on his face. However, Megan was disgusted by the exaggerated
look on his handsome face.
I must have been blind to like him in our past lives.
“Yup, I agree. Luck seems to be shining on you,” Megan replied while forcing a demure smile on her
face and nodded her head sincerely. She felt that some flattery was still necessary.
To Herman, Megan’s support was a great encouragement.
Unable to calm down, he couldn’t help but grab Megan’s shoulders and pull her into his arms. “Megan,
you must be my lucky star! I’ve decided to give you forty percent of my total winnings today!”
As Herman was hugging her so tightly, Megan felt like she was suffocating and was gasping for air.
She gritted her teeth and held back the urge to kill him.
This man does not have any self-awareness at all! Does he not know that he’s trash? Why is he
throwing himself at me!
“Let go of me. I don’t need to have a share of your winnings,” Megan replied.
The frostiness in her voice sent a chill down Herman’s spine, especially in contrast to the bustling
atmosphere of the surroundings. Herman lifted his head and looked at the woman, his high spirits
dampened by her words.
Feeling perplexed, he asked, “Why does it seem as if you have turned into a totally different person?”
After clearing her throat, Megan forced out a smile and replied, “Oh, I mean if you win, I only want my
capital back.”
Megan’s clear and bright eyes were like stars shining in the night sky, gentle and kind. Herman fell into
a daze momentarily and thought that he must be hallucinating earlier on. It was undeniable that the
woman in front of him had an indescribable amiable aura.
Never mind, why am I overthinking? I shouldn’t be preoccupied with such thoughts at a casino in
Lostaria! I should be acting on my instincts instead!
Herman shook his head to clear his mind and the suspicious look on his face disappeared. He looked
at his chips smilingly and scanned the area for the next gambling table for him to prove his abilities Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
once again.
“Sure, Megan. If I manage to win, I will definitely return your capital.”
Seeing how confident he was, Megan couldn’t help but mock Herman silently in her heart. The man
was still dreaming of becoming rich without doing anything to earn it.
