The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

But it is undoubtedly these people who push those who are still hovering on the edge of reason into the abyss, ultimately causing their wives and children to be torn apart and their families to be destroyed.

Ryan wanted to snipe them and teach the casino a lesson.

During the process, they deliberately spread information about Dick in order to lure out some key figures.

Then extract information from them.

Just then, a strong perfume scent wafted over, and Ryan couldn't help but frown.

This perfume, unlike the light scent on Claire, is very strong, to the point of being somewhat pungent.

Ryan hates this taste.

Sitting next to Ryan was a beautiful woman with an enviable figure.

It was Kelly.

"You don't mind if I sit here, do you?"

Ryan looked at Kelly and smiled in a roguish way.

"Of course I don't mind."

See? The big fish has taken the bait.

Chapter 88 Is magic no better than cheating?

"Young man, I think you're having good luck."

"To be honest, I haven't been here long either, and I've been losing money the whole time. If I keep losing like this, my companion might get taken away."

After speaking, Kelly glanced at the blond youth beside her.

Ryan also looked over.

Yes, he is indeed very handsome.

However, he always lacks a bit of masculinity; he's probably more like a soft, limp little puppy.

"Nine out of ten gamblers lose."

"Since you've entered the casino, you must have been prepared to lose money."

"Talking about this now is just hindsight. If you really don't want your partner to be taken away, the best way is to leave the casino and realize that you are not suited for gambling, instead of thinking about how to win back your losses."

Ryan answered confidently, pushing his chips onto the table.

At that moment, Kelly also placed her bet in the same area as Ryan.

Ryan looked over, and Kelly just smiled with narrowed eyes.

"Oh dear, don't say such heartless things. It's such a waste to come all this way to such a fun place and then go back like this. Besides, you've been so lucky with your lottery."

"I think as long as I bet on the same thing as you, I'm sure I can turn the tables, right?"

Ryan pretended to be indifferent, but in his heart he was also calculating the background of the woman in front of him.

She was probably sent by the casino to test their limits.

However, this kind of close-quarters probing is a bit too blatant, almost like issuing a challenge.

It was as if he was saying to everyone at the gambling table, "This is my target, everyone else get out of my way."

Clearly, the seasoned gamblers at the tables sensed this and chose to avoid direct confrontation.

But... Ryan doesn't need to get into close combat with someone like that.

What he needs is intelligence.

When fishing, you shouldn't lift the hook immediately after the fish bites, but rather guide it to gradually expend its energy.

Once you've exhausted your energy to a certain extent, then go all out and reel in the fish.

So Ryan pretended to be very sad and sighed.

"Well, actually, this is all thanks to that bastard Dick."

"Perhaps God didn't want to see me lose so much money for no reason, so He gave me this opportunity."

"But I'm not a greedy person. It's about time I won back the money Dick owed me. It's time to go back."

The dealer flipped the cards, and Ryan made a small profit once again.

Kelly also made a small profit because she and Ryan bet on the same thing.

Just as Ryan had just said, after collecting all the chips, he got up and prepared to walk towards the bar.

He used the tactic of feigning indifference to lure the prey into his trap.

If Ryan just walks to the bar, exchanges his chips, and leaves, the casino will lose 30,000 gold coins for nothing!

This is absolutely unacceptable!

Therefore, Kelly must stop him and then guide him to table number one!

Let's give him a good beating!

"Actually, I've heard that Dick owes you a lot of money."

Ryan feigned surprise: "Are you and Dick very close?"

"We're not that close, we've only met a few times."

Kelly works at the casino.

She had met every one of the veteran gamblers, so she had also had a few brief exchanges with Dick.

“If you’re looking for Dick, I do know some clues.”

"Actually, it's not that I can't tell you these clues, but I've lost too much money and haven't broken even yet."

"If you can help me earn back the money I lost, I'd be happy to share these clues with you."

Ryan smiled faintly.

Great, hooked.

"Madam, how much money have you lost?"

Kelly held up one finger, a smirk playing on her lips, her eyes gleaming with intense greed: "One hundred thousand gold coins."

"I didn't realize you were such a wealthy woman."

Kelly laughed heartily, linking arms with the blond young man beside her and affectionately patting his bottom.

"Actually, my family has money. I just secretly took it out to play with. If I didn't bring the money back when I got home at night, I'm afraid my family would beat me to death."

Of course, this entire conversation was a lie.

Kelly wasn't a rich girl at all; she worked at the casino.

With the casino backing her, she naturally dared to say anything.

Ryan naturally understood that it was just a performance to go along with her fishing.

"Haha, I see. Ten thousand gold coins is just a small favor. But, words are not enough. How do I know if what you're saying is true? What if you don't even know Dick? Wouldn't I be at a huge loss?"

“That’s easy to say,” Kelly said in a low voice. “Actually, Dick went to Vita Town a while ago. On his way back, he stopped by the casino for a bit. Fueled by alcohol, he told the other gamblers at his table that he had made a very interesting discovery. He said that if it were published, it would definitely make a lot of money.”

"So that day, he gambled big. Unfortunately, he lost a lot of money, but luckily he didn't have any debts, so his female companion wasn't detained. Besides, I know his female companion too."

"If you can help me break even, I'll introduce you to that woman."

Ryan and Rose exchanged a glance.

Clearly, Kelly's intelligence perfectly matched what they knew.

It's probably true.

Since that's the case, let's play along.

"Alright, since you've put it that way, it would seem petty of me to refuse again."

Kelly's eyes lit up.

Hooked!

Kelly then arranged her chips and stood up.

“Even if I played all night at this table, I still wouldn’t be able to earn back 100,000 gold coins. So, sir, why don’t we go to table number one?”

After saying that, he pointed to the largest table in the center of the casino, which also had the most onlookers.

"Why don't we go play at that table?"

Ryan was unfamiliar with the casino since it was his first time there, but the well-informed Rose immediately understood what table number one meant.

He quickly tugged at Ryan's sleeve.

“Mr. Ryan, table number one is usually the top table in the casino, and also the table with the highest stakes in the entire casino!”

"Usually, those sitting at that table are some of the local nobles. Even a single round of winning or losing can cost thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins!"

"Moreover... those who sat at that table were basically all well-known cheaters."

“Mr. Ryan, I know you want to find clues, but please know that you only have 30,000 gold coins... If you're not careful, you could lose them all!”

Ryan waved his hand, signaling her not to be afraid.

With him there, nothing will happen.

However, Ryan did not understand what Rose was really worried about.

She wasn't worried about the money; she was worried about herself.

If Ryan were to accidentally lose all her money and end up with a mountain of debt like that man before, she would be completely ruined.

Thirty thousand gold coins sounds like a lot, but at table number one, it's just a small bonus.

However, Rose, Kelly, and even everyone in the casino were unaware of this.

Ryan once played card games against a room full of five-circuit magic masters.

A thousand dollars?

Ryan didn't need to cheat at all.
