With enough practice and a keen sense of hearing, one could even guess the numbers on the dice just by the sound they made inside the cup.
In her quest to beat her grandfather at the ga, she practiced relentlessly, gradually increasing the difficulty level. To this day, she could roll ten dice and have them all stand on their ends.
It wasn’t trickery or luck that got her this far, but pure skill.
"Miss, would you be interested in joining for a ga?"
"Na your price. As long as you’re willing to team up with , money is no object."
"Why don’t you play with ? Any losses are on , but we’ll split the winnings. You take seventy percent and I take thirty percent."
Many were vying for a chance to team up with Rosemary, so even resorting to argunts.
Seeing his chance, Murray stood up and said, "Miss, may I have a word?"
Rosemary followed him out to a small bridge.
"I must confess, Nightshade was bought at a high price not long after I arrived in Watertown."
The light in Rosemary’s eyes turned icy. So, they played her for a fool?
"Let’s split the $32 million. I’ll take half," suggested Murray earnestly.
But Rosemary’s eyes remained cold.
She was here for Nightshade.
Sensing her displeasure, Murray hastily added, "How about I take thirty percent? Or, how about I take twenty percent?"
Seeing her expression unchanged, he steeled himself and said, "You take ninety percent. I can’t go any lower!"
"Who did you sell it to?" Rosemary’s voice was as cold as ice.
"A big shot whose na I cannot reveal. Once he wants sothing, there’s no way we can get it back. But I can help you find another Nightshade. I know a guy, who knows a guy, who should have one. Let contact him, see if he can deliver it tomorrow. If he can, I’ll give it to you for free!"
Rosemary took out her phone. "Your number."
Murray quickly rattled off his digits.
After noting them down, she dialed his number. "This is mine."
Murray saved her number imdiately, a little in awe. He cautiously asked, "So about our partnership, will you consider it?"
Rosemary sent him a string of bank account numbers. "Transfer ninety percent of the money to my account first."
Murray was taken aback but quickly agreed, "No problem."
As Rosemary prepared to leave, Murray couldn’t help but blurt out, "I’ll transfer the money shortly. Please give it so thought. Don’t consider anyone else. They’re not as reliable as ! Any losses are on , and we’ll split the winnings. You can get ninety percent!"
Rosemary walked off the bridge, ready to leave Watertown, when a group of ten staff mbers hurriedly stopped her.
"Excuse us, miss, could you wait a mont?"
Rosemary raised an eyebrow. Were they sore losers, looking to cause trouble?
"I apologize for the inconvenience."
The manager was on the phone, seeking instructions from higher-ups on whether they should let her leave.
Rosemary looked coldly at the ten frail staff mbers. If a fight broke out, they would be at a disadvantage.
But her presence in Watertown had already drawn a lot of attention. Any more commotion could attract unwanted company.
She didn’t want to bring trouble upon herself, especially if Murray could deliver Nightshade tomorrow. She could return ho the day after. There was no need to engage these people and stir up unnecessary trouble.
"How long do I have to wait?" Rosemary suddenly asked.
The ten staff mbers were taken aback. She was more cooperative than they expected, given her icy deanor.
They underestimated her because of her youth, and they were clearly shaken.
"Just a mont," the leading staff mber said.
"Alright, bring sothing to eat and drink." Rosemary strolled onto an empty boat, settled down, and began to appreciate the scenery on the water.
Several resplendent golden buildings reflected on the water, like an enchanting illusion.
The staff were taken aback by her audacity. Wasn’t this young lady afraid of the potential danger of staying behind?
Nonetheless, they brought her food and beverages, attending to her diligently.
anwhile.
The manager urgently dialed Danny’s number.
"Danny, we’ve got a big problem! A girl just walked away with 32 million dollars from us. What’s more, others started to win as well! We’re taking a huge hit tonight!"
"What?" Danny’s voice held a note of surprise. "A girl?"
Not a seasoned gambler, but a girl?
"Yes, she looks around seventeen or eighteen, but her dice rolling skills are comparable to yours back in the day!"
"How dare you!" Danny scolded. "Comparing anyone to ? Can she discern the dice by sound, can she roll the dice into a column, can she roll whatever number she wants?"
"She can do all of that!"
"What?" Danny realized that this girl was not ordinary and calmly asked, "Send the surveillance footage. Let see."
Soon, the manager sent over the live surveillance video.
Upon seeing the girl’s familiar outfit, Danny was shocked. "Mr. Sampson, look."
It was the girl from tonight!
Dressed in casual attire, wearing a baseball cap and a mask, her dice-rolling actions were as smooth as flowing water.
Sampson gazed at the girl, and he said appreciatively, "This girl is remarkable."
"Mr. Sampson, have you noticed anything unusual?" Danny focused intently on the video but couldn’t see any signs of cheating.
Sampson replied with interest, "I never expected her hands to be capable of saving lives and gambling."
"Mr. Sampson, do you think she’s cheating? At her age, how could she be so skilled?" Danny was still skeptical of the girl’s abilities. He scrutinized the screen so hard that he might have drilled a hole in it, but he couldn’t find any evidence of cheating.
Sampson dismissed his concerns. "With enough practice, anyone could do it."
"So will we just let her go?"
She just won 32 million dollars from Murray!
It was not thousands or tens of thousands, but 32 million dollars!
A sum that large...
If they didn’t investigate...
What if she ca back?
"She won fair and square, why shouldn’t we let her go?" Sampson said with a grand gesture. "We should not only let her go but also treat her courteously and welco her back."
"Welco her back?" Danny was incredulous. With her winning streak, wouldn’t they go bankrupt?
"Where is she now?" Sampson asked.
"According to the manager, when we stopped her, she was unfazed. She even went on a boat to enjoy the scenery and asked for food and drinks."
