“I don’t believe it. Show us, or we have every right to suspect you.”
“You can tell the numbers within the dice cup? I’ll kneel and call you dad!”
Mirabella looked at him with annoyance, “I don’t need a son like you.”
She had to prove her innacence, right?
Mirabella picked up the dice cup, grabbed three dice at once, and shook them rapidly.
Her shaking technique was swift and cool, a visual pleasure even just to watch.
The three dice produced a crisp sound under her shaking. When Mirabella stopped, all eyes fell on the dice cup in her hand.
“6s Mirabella announced the number first, then opened the dice cup. The sum of the three dice was indeed 6, just as she had said.Everyone was dumbfounded in disbelief.
Could she really guess by the sound?
People with such incredible skills have only appeared twice before.
One was an old gambling king, and the other was the owner of this place.
Mirabella picked up the dice again, shook them once more, and placed the dice cup steadily on the table, casually announcing a number.
“ye When the dice cup was opened, the sum of the three dice was exactly 7!
Everyone was incredulous at the sight of this miraculous girl.
How did she do it?
“No, I don’t believe it, unless you shake a 13 as I said!”
“Yes, shake a 13 . Let’s see what trick you can pull off.”
“Shake a 13! 13!”
Mirabella picked up the dice. Wasn’t she supposed to pull off a trick?
The three dice clinked in the cup, and after a while, Mirabella lifted the cup.
The three dice had formed a column. Mirabella took them out one by one, the numbers facing up added up to precisely 13!
Everyone in the room was stunned, then erupted into thunderous applause, completely in awe.
It was amazing.She could even shake the dice into a column.
“Are you the daughter of the gambling king? Or his apprentice?”
“The dice seem to obey your commands in your hands, you can shake out any number you want.”
“That’s amazing. How did you do it?”
She was using the dice cup and dice from the house, not her own, and she could shake out any number she wanted.
With so many people watching her, if she were cheating, they would have noticed!
So, how did she do it?
It was unbelievable!
They were all shocked with admiration.
When she was a child, her grandfather would shake a dice to make her guess the number to persuade her to do something. Every time she said big, the number her grandfather shook out was small, and when she said small, he shook out a big number.
Each time she was defeated and had to do as her grandfather said and complete the tasks he assigned her.
But she always felt a little unconvinced, even suspecting that her grandfather was cheating. Otherwise, how could he always win?
Later, she discovered that as long as she mastered the shaking force and angle and practiced more, she could shake the dice to any number she wanted, even forming a column wouldn’t be difficult.
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 game, 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 me for a game?”
“Name your price. As long as you’re willing to team up with me, money is no object.”
“Why don’t you play with me? Any losses are on me, 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 Mirabella, some even resorting to arguments.
Seeing his chance, Murray stood up and said, “Miss, may I have a word?”
Mirabella 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 Mirabella’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 Mirabella’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?” Mirabella’s voice was as cold as ice.
“A big shot whose name I cannot reveal. Once he wants something, 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 me contact him, see if he can deliver it tomorrow. If he can, I’ll give it to you for free!”
Mirabella took out her phone, “Your nurnber””
Murray quickly rattled off his digits.
After noting them down, she dialed his number, “This is mine.”
Murray saved her number immediately, a little in awe. He cautiously asked, “So about our partnership, will you consider it?”
Mirabella 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 Mirabella prepared to leave, Murray couldn’t help but blurt out, “I’ll transfer the money shortly. Please give itsome thought. Don’t consider anyone else. They’re not as reliable as me! Any losses are on me, and we’ll split the winnings. You can get ninety percent!”
Mirabella walked off the bridge, ready to leave Watertown, when a group of ten staff members hurriedly stopped her.
“Excuse us, miss, could you wait a moment?”
Mirabella 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.
Mirabella looked coldly at the ten frail staff members, 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 home the day after. There was no need to engage these people and stir up unnecessary trouble.
“How long do I have to wait?” Mirabella suddenly asked.
The ten staff members were taken aback. She was more cooperative than they expected, given her icy demeanor.They underestimated her because of her youth, and they were clearly shaken.
“Just a moment,’ the leading staff member said.
“Alright, bring me something to eat and drink.” Mirabella 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.
Meanwhile.
The manager urgently dialed Danny’s number.
