Chapter 515 Stop

As Daniel pointed out the trio of threes, he teased Manly with a smile. "Manly, are you visuallyimpaired, or just blind? Are you sure you rolled a three-three-four?”

"Of course, it’s three-three..." Manyleft off abruptly when she looked down and saw the dice.Stunned, she questioned how this could be. She was sure she had manipulated one of the threepoints to flip to four. How could it still be three threes?

Was it possible that Manly, having not used her Genki in a while, made a mistake? That must havebeen it; she let Daniel slip through the cracks, and he won again!

Though furious inside, Manly managed to suppress her emotions, but Daniel couldn’t resist tauntingher further. "You've lost, Manly! You just lost twenty billion to me. You’re not going back on yourword now, are you?"

"Go back on my word? I’ve never done that! You've lost, that’s all – chalk it up to good luck for you,country boy! But don't think your luck will hold – if you have the guts, keep playing!" she snappeddefiantly.

"Of course, I've got the guts! I'll keep playing until I've won enough to make you cry, pleading for meto stop!"

The secret to conquaring a woman like Manly was simple: outplay her in her domain of expertiseuntil she breaks down in tears. "So now that you have twenty billion, will you dare to bet it all atonce?" Manly challenged him, still employing the same strategy as before – one win could bring allof Daniel’s winnings back to her.

Before Daniel could respond, Lily quickly pinched him on the waist, eliciting a cheerful yelp. "What'sthat for, Lily?" he asked, puzzled.

"Stop now! You’ve already won twenty billion – it's time to quit. If you insist on continuing, do not bettwenty billion at once; you may only bet a maximum of one billion per round. And if you lose threetimes in a row, you must stop," Lily commanded.

Successfully turning a mere one hundred bucks into twenty billion already passed the first test. If hewere to lose it all back, it would be equivalent to failing the challenge.

Under The Big Dipper’s rules, if Daniel stopped gambling now, it would be as though he bestedManly, effectively passing the casino challenge. Though Lily didn't expect him to prevail in all sevenchallenges, she didn't want him to fail either. Even if the country boy only passed the first challenge,the gambling one, it would be quite an achievement. At least that would prove that Lily had notmisjudged him.

Manly recognized Lily and was aware of why she brought the country boy here. If Manly let thischallenge slip, it would be a disgrace. Since taking over the casino at The Big Dipper, nobody hadever managed to get past her challenge. Therefore, she wouldn't let Daniel get away with it soeasily.

With a cunning smile, Manly tried a new tactic on Daniel: "Country boy, if you're a coward, thenlisten to a woman! If a woman tells you to stop gambling, then you stop right there and take yourtwenty billion home!"

This method, known as 'reverse psychology,' was Manly's gambit. She believed that any man withtrue grit couldn't bear such an affront. To be told by a woman when to gamble would be intolerableto someone with a spine.
