Chapter 1280 Harvest

Chapter 1280: Chapter 1280 Harvest

“This is not good,” Su Hanyue muttered inwardly as she watched the situation unfold below.

The Golden Fortune could certainly afford to lose money occasionally.

That was simply part of running a gambling house.

But there was a huge difference between suffering an ordinary loss and allowing one customer to walk away with an absurd fortune.

Jiang Chen’s winnings were growing far too quickly.

What concerned Su Hanyue even more was the fact that the dealer hadn’t managed to turn the game around yet.

Why hasn’t he used the usual methods?

The Golden Fortune had plenty of ways to influence a simple dice game.

They could manipulate the dice, replace them with specially prepared ones, or subtly control the outcome through spiritual energy.

Yet somehow, none of those methods seemed to be working against Jiang Chen.

Another minute passed.

Then the mountain of gold coins in front of Jiang Chen doubled once again.

Twenty thousand gold coins.

The sight finally made Su Hanyue’s expression change.

“That is enough.”

She immediately turned toward Xue Lengyan.

“Get the dealer to stop the game.”

Xue Lengyan nodded.

“Understood.”

“Tell Jiang Chen that the game needs a short break. Give him the best food and drinks available. Treat him as an honored guest.”

Su Hanyue’s eyes narrowed as she looked down at Jiang Chen.

“And when the game resumes, I’ll personally be the dealer.”

Xue Lengyan was slightly surprised.

“You’re going to deal personally, Miss Su?”

“Yes.”

Su Hanyue had managed the Golden Fortune for years and had encountered countless gamblers.

But someone who could continuously win against the house like Jiang Chen was extremely rare.

She wanted to see for herself whether his incredible winning streak was truly luck.

“I’ll take care of it immediately.”

Xue Lengyan hurried downstairs.

A few minutes later, she reached the gambling table and approached the dealer.

“That’s enough for now,” she said. “The game is taking a short break.”

The surrounding gamblers immediately started whispering.

“Why are they stopping now?”

“Isn’t Young Master Jiang Chen on a winning streak?”

“Perhaps the Golden Fortune needs time to prepare.”

Jiang Chen merely smiled.

“A break? Fine.”

He didn’t seem bothered in the slightest.

While servants began bringing out food and drinks for him, Xue Lengyan quietly pulled the dealer aside.

“What is happening out there?”

The dealer looked extremely nervous.

“I… I don’t know, Miss Su.”

“Then explain why Jiang Chen keeps winning.”

The dealer swallowed.

“I tried everything.”

“Everything?”

“I attempted to tamper with the dice, but every time I tried, the result somehow still matched Jiang Chen’s prediction.”

Su Hanyue’s eyes narrowed.

The dealer continued nervously.

“I even replaced the dice ten times.”

“Ten times?”

“Yes.”

He looked genuinely bewildered.

“Different dice. Different cups. Different methods. I even personally checked them afterward.”

His expression became increasingly frustrated.

“But somehow, no matter what I do, the dice always seem to land exactly the way Jiang Chen predicts.”

Su Hanyue fell silent.

For the first time, a serious expression appeared on her beautiful face.

Ten sets of dice.

Different methods.

And Jiang Chen still won every time.

That was no longer something she could simply dismiss as ordinary luck.

“Interesting…” she murmured.

Her gaze shifted toward Jiang Chen, who was currently eating and drinking comfortably while surrounded by his mountain of winnings.

“Then I’ll see for myself.”

The corner of Su Hanyue’s lips lifted slightly.

“When the game resumes, I’ll personally deal the dice.”

She wanted to know exactly what kind of secret this young man was hiding.

Ten minutes later, Miss Su finally descended the stairs.

The moment she appeared, the atmosphere on the gambling floor noticeably changed.

Nearly every man’s attention was drawn toward her.

Her mature beauty and graceful presence made her stand out even among the many beautiful women working at the Golden Fortune.

She walked down the stairs with calm confidence, completely accustomed to receiving such attention.

“If I could have a woman like Miss Su in my life, I could die happy,” one gambler muttered.

He had practically voiced the secret wish of every man watching her.

Miss Su ignored the surrounding gazes and walked directly toward Jiang Chen’s table.

“Hello, Young Master Jiang Chen,” she said with a charming smile. “I’m Su Hanyue. I’ll personally be your dealer from this point onward.”

Jiang Chen looked at her before giving a relaxed smile.

“Fine by me. I have a feeling I can’t lose today. Lady Luck seems to be on my side.”

He gestured toward the dice.

“So, what are we waiting for? Let’s begin.”

Miss Su smiled.

“Of course.”

The game resumed.

The dealer placed the dice beneath the cup, shook them several times, and finally stopped.

“Your choice, Young Master Jiang Chen?”

“Odd.”

The cup was lifted.

The result matched his prediction.

The crowd immediately erupted into whispers.

Another round.

“Even.”

Again, Jiang Chen won.

Another round.

“Odd.”

Another victory.

Miss Su’s smile gradually became more restrained.

She had personally prepared the dice.

They were specially modified gambling dice, designed to respond to subtle spiritual energy manipulation.

She had even secretly activated several mechanisms intended to interfere with Jiang Chen’s predictions.

Yet the dice stubbornly refused to cooperate.

No matter what she did, the final result somehow matched whatever Jiang Chen announced.

The young man simply kept winning.

His pile of gold coins grew larger and larger.

Soon…

50,000 gold coins.

Then…

80,000.

And finally…

100,000 gold coins!

The entire gambling floor fell into an uproar.

“One hundred thousand!”

“He made that much in such a short time?”

“Is this really luck?”

Miss Su’s expression became increasingly serious.

She couldn’t understand it.

Her methods should have worked.

The dice should have followed her manipulation.

Yet somehow, every attempt ended in failure.

Finally, she raised her hand.

“Let’s stop here for now.”

The game came to an end.

Jiang Chen leaned back comfortably, looking completely satisfied.

Miss Su studied him carefully.

He’s cheating.

She was almost certain of it now.

But how?
