Chapter 353 After Winning the Gambling Tournament
Chapter 353 After Winning the Gambling Tournament
Rudy was sitting on the couch of the casino lounge, seemingly waiting for someone.The casino was crowded with hundreds of gamblers, but they had slowly started to leave as the tournament had ended.
Some stayed to gamble with their friends, but those who only came with the intention of winning the tournament left in disbelief. They couldn’t believe that a newbie gambler like Rudy won the tournament without losing a single match.
He was even accused of cheating as Maria was his partner. They said that the casino’s owner was none other than Rusher— Maria’s brother and her biological father.
However, everyone present there knew that the losers were whining.
”Here.” Maria approached Rudy with Rusher alongside her and handed him the casino pass.
Rusher moved his hand towards Rudy and said, “I have heard about you from Mari. She said you have super luck. I, of course, don’t believe in such things, but after looking at your feat today, I think I may have to believe her now.”
”Come on, brother! you promised me you won’t tell him!” Maria hissed at Rusher.
”Why not? I am glad to see you have finally made a friend of the same age and gender as you.”
”Uhh…” Maria glanced at Rudy from the corner of her eyes and said, “Yes. I am lucky to have her as my friend.”
”…”
Rudy shook his head in disbelief and thought, ‘I should have gotten rid of the hair. But I guess I now have to keep them for a week. I can’t risk losing Maria right now. Since my grand plan to become rich will come into action once I become a part of the underworld!’
Even though Rudy had won two million dollars over the night with just $100 as the first bet, he now had higher standards. He wanted to take everything slow and steady, but now that he had learned about the other universe and the fantastical creatures, he had to move into action.
Rudy shook his hands with Rusher and said in a girly voice: “It’s all thanks to Maria.”
”You are now an exclusive member of this casino. Maria will tell you the perks. I have some things to do as the owner of this place,” he said calmly.
”Can I ask why you didn’t join the tournament? Are you not interested in that?”
”Ah, no. Since I am the owner, I am already eligible for the underworld VIP tournament. I don’t need to win the lesser tournaments like you or any others.”
After saying that, Rusher left for his office.
”…”
”…”
Rudy squinted his eyes and asked, “So you made me a girl, huh?”
”I didn’t!” Maria shook her head violently and said, “When I talked about you with him, I never revealed your gender. And he automatically assumed your gender after looking at your current get-up. So…”
She averted her gaze and said, “It’s technically your fault.”
”Wow.” Rudy clapped his hands and said, “You are not entirely wrong, but you went along with him and let him think I was a girl. You could have just said, ‘He is a boy!’ or something too, you know?”
”Well… my brother is kind of overprotective. And yes, he is the reason why I don’t have many friends,” she said with a sigh.
”I will play along with your gig until I get bored.”
”By the way, do you want the money in cash or your bank account?” Maria asked.
”I don’t have a bank account. Do you have one?”
”I don’t. I use my father’s card for everything, so…” she shrugged.
Rudy raised his brow and said, “Didn’t you say you wanted everyone to acknowledge you? So isn’t it the best time to stand on your feet and prove your worth to the entire underworld?”
”I can’t do that alone, and I don’t know how. That’s why I chose you to be my friend.”
”Open an account in a bank. I will add all my winnings to your account. But not that two million I won. I need them in cash,” he stated.
”Preparing the cash will be hard. So they can’t give it right now,” she said with an awkward smile on her face. “You will have to drop by at night to claim them. Until then, your money will be stored in the casino pass.”
”That’s fine. I can wait for a day.”
”That’s nice. Maybe I will also come here tonight to meet you…” she said with a slightly flushed face.
”What’s the time now? Since we are indoors, I can’t guess the time.”
Maria took out her phone and said, “Let’s 8:03!”
”Oh… I have to leave.”
”I will drop you off!”
”There is no need to. You should go home and rest. And how about you meet me at the central bank later this noon? We will open a bank account for you, and I will also buy a new phone for myself.”
”Okay~!” she said cheerfully with a wide smile on her face.
’It’s a date, right?!’ she thought to herself.
Meanwhile, Rudy left in a hurry and teleported to his house.
Angelica came out of his body and asked, “Why don’t you get one account for yourself instead of relying on her?”
”She is a mafia, and she has got connections. If I make a new account and credit it with two million dollars, it’s going to be a hassle explaining it to the bank. There is also tax and shit.
And besides, I don’t really need an account. It’s for future purposes when I start my business. For now, my first goal is to pay off Reina’s debt and start the construction of the amusement park. I will win the gambling tournaments with ease unless someone cheats.
My only goal is to make my name in the underworld. Once I gain fame there, starting a business will be an effortless task. Not to mention, I also need to find a supplier of advanced technology in the underworld.”
Rudy cracked his fingers and muttered, “Since I am the Lord, I must act like one.”
