378: Las Vegas
Lei Jun looked at their wretched state indifferently.
"Scram!"
The Black men felt as if they had been granted a general amnesty. Enduring the severe pain, they supported each other and stumbled out of the alley, terrified that Lei Jun might change her mind.
They wouldn't dare go near Asians ever again; they had truly escaped with their lives this time.
Having dealt with the Black men, Su Qing and Su Ya slowly relaxed, though their faces remained somewhat pale.
Lei Jun patted their shoulders and comforted them, "It's okay now. We're here."
She mused that since this was abroad, public safety wasn't as good as back home. They would have to be more careful when going out in the future and try to avoid secluded places.
As they walked to the parking lot, Lei Jun suddenly said, "I don't want to go back to the hotel. Let's go to Las Vegas."
Since they wanted to relax, they might as well have some fun in Las Vegas.
Lei Yue was stunned for a moment and quickly said, "Las Vegas? But it's already very late. Should we go tomorrow instead?"
Lei Jun shook her head. "It's fine. We'll take the private jet; we'll be there soon."
The others had no objections and took a car to the private airport.
The private jet flew extremely fast and soon arrived in Las Vegas.
Las Vegas at night was brilliantly lit, filled with casinos and hotels, exuding an atmosphere of luxury and dissipation.
Lei Jun and her group got off the plane and headed straight for the Caesars Palace casino.
Walking into the casino, the place was bustling with noise. People crowded around the gambling tables, and the sounds of clattering dice and cheering were everywhere.
Lei Jun scanned the floor and walked straight to a Blackjack table.
After sitting down, she exchanged one hundred thousand US dollars for chips and began to place bets.
Relying on her God-level Gambling Skill, she could accurately judge the cards in every hand. Whether it was hitting, standing, or splitting, her timing was perfect.
In just one hour, the chips in front of her piled up like a small mountain, turning one hundred thousand dollars into ten million.
The people around noticed Lei Jun and gathered around, their eyes filled with surprise and curiosity.
This pink-haired Asian girl is way too incredible; how does she win every single hand?
Could it be just good luck?
Lei Jun ignored the gazes of those around her and continued to bet.
Her movements were unhurried, and she appeared very calm regardless of the amount of chips.
After another two hours, she had won a full one hundred million US dollars.
The casino's dealers panicked and began secretly sending messages to their superiors.
The news quickly reached the ears of the casino owner, John.
Sitting in his office and listening to his subordinate's report, John's expression turned somewhat grim... Someone actually won a hundred million dollars at my place? They certainly have some nerve to act so wildly in Caesars Palace.
Although he was a bit angry, he was more curious to see the background of this person who had won so much money.
John said to his subordinate, "Go and invite that person to the VIP room. Tell her I want to play for high stakes."
He needed to find someone to dampen the other party's spirits, preferably winning back all the money they had lost.
The subordinate took the order and soon found Lei Jun, saying respectfully, "Miss, our boss would like to invite you to the VIP room. He says he wants to play a high-stakes game with you. Would you be interested?"
Lei Jun looked up and smiled, saying in a flat tone, "Sure, lead the way."
The casino owner finally couldn't hold back?
It's the perfect time to play with him and see how much I can win.
With the God-level Gambling Skill in hand, she wasn't afraid of any opponent.
Following the subordinate into the VIP room, Lei Jun saw a slightly plump middle-aged man in a suit sitting on a sofa smoking. He was John, the owner of the Caesars Palace casino.
When John saw Lei Jun, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes. He hadn't expected the person who won a hundred million dollars to be such a young Asian girl, with pink hair and great beauty to boot.
But John quickly suppressed his surprise, a smile appearing on his face as he stood up and said, "Miss, I am John, the owner of Caesars Palace. I didn't expect someone so young to have such incredible gambling skills as to win a hundred million dollars from me."
Lei Jun nodded slightly without speaking and sat straight down on the sofa.
John didn't mind. After sitting down, he said, "Would you dare to play a high-stakes game with me? A five-hundred-million-dollar stake, settled on the spot by the loser. How about it?"
He had already decided whom to send out.
Under his command was a top-tier gambling expert named Antonio. He was a champion of the World Gambling Tournament and had held the title for five consecutive terms. He enjoyed a high reputation in the global gambling world and had never lost an important game.
He believed that as long as Antonio took action, he would surely win easily against this young girl, recouping all the lost money and perhaps even making her pay extra.
John continued.
"I know you have great gambling skills, so I have specifically invited Mr. Antonio to duel with you. To be blunt, Mr. Antonio is a five-time champion of the World Gambling Tournament..."
Lei Jun felt no ripples in her heart; she even found it somewhat amusing.
So what if he's a World Gambling Tournament champion?
Before the God-level Gambling Skill, he would be utterly defenseless.
She said flatly, "Sure, when do we start?"
Seeing that Lei Jun was unafraid, John grew even more excited and said quickly, "Right away. I'll have Antonio come over now."
He gave his subordinate a look, and the subordinate immediately went to fetch Antonio.
Before long, a man in a black suit with a steady temperament walked in; he was Antonio.
Antonio was tall and handsome with sharp eyes, exuding an aura of confidence.
Having dominated the gambling world for many years, he rarely met an equal opponent. Hearing that a young girl had won a hundred million dollars from Caesars Palace, he felt quite disdainful, thinking she was just lucky.
Antonio walked to John's side, nodded, and then looked at Lei Jun with a hint of contempt in his eyes. "You're the one who won a hundred million dollars? I hope you'll still be that lucky in a moment."
What real skill could a young Asian girl possibly have?
She must have won some money by luck. Once he stepped in, he would make her lose everything in a few minutes and leave in disgrace.
Lei Jun didn't bother wasting words with him and said, "Let's begin."
The group went to the gambling table in the VIP room. The dealer brought a new deck of cards, carefully shuffling and cutting them.
This time they were playing Blackjack. The rules were simple: whoever's hand was closest to 21 would win, and going over 21 meant a bust and a loss.
In the first round, Antonio bet first. He directly wagered one hundred million dollars, looking at Lei Jun provocatively.
Without hesitation, Lei Jun also wagered one hundred million dollars. The dealer dealt the cards; Antonio received an Ace and a King, totaling exactly 21, the best possible hand.
A smug smile appeared on Antonio's face as he thought to himself: Getting 21 in the very first round, it seems luck is on my side today. This girl is finished.
