Inherit Billions

Time to Settle the Score!

Hansen and Mark were shocked. Even Olivia was so angry she wanted to stand but Sarah quickly grabbed her, urging her to stay calm up and argue, Orion’s brow furrowed, ready to cut Lucius off, but Seraphina let out a disdainful snort and raised an eyebrow. “Fine, I agree.”

She looked disdainful as if she didn’t take the opponent in front of her seriously at all.

Lucius chuckled, amused by her ignorance of the situation and the opponent she faced.

In all of Golden Bay, no one could beat Orion at dice, even with his eyes closed. He had once made his first fortune in the casinos of Lacuna, not to mention that the people in front of him were nobodies.

Finally, time to settle the score!

Orion reached out his hand. “Ladies first.”

Seraphina didn’t hesitate. She grabbed the dice, shook them lightly on the table, and then covered them with her hand, watching her opponent calmly. “Your turn.”

Orion gave Seraphina a long, thoughtful look. It was clear she wasn’t taking this game seriously. Did she not care about winning or losing?

Lucius looked on with eager anticipation, convinced he had the upper hand. To him, Seraphina was just a rookie. Her moves were anything but professional. Did she even know how to play dice?

Think you can win with a couple of fake moves?

No way!

Orion thought for a moment, then casually lifted the lid to show four sixes. Unsurprisingly, he had won. He looked at Seraphina, her expression didn’t alter.

Lucius almost jumped out of his seat in excitement. “Mr. Dros, that’s more like it! I was worried you might go easy on her…”

Hanson clapped from the sidelines, a faint smile on his face. “Lucius, you must be joking. Mr. Dros has never gone easy on Seraphina. But Mr. Dros, your skill is impressive. This trip was worth it.”

“Cut the flattery. Trying to cheat? Seraphina, let’s see what you’ve got. Don’t tell me you can’t handle losing…

“Lucius. did vou iust eat something nasty? Watch vour mouth!” Olivia couldn’t hold back her outburst.

Seraphina noticed the tension rising again. She chuckled softly, tapped the lid twice with her slender fingers, then casually knocked it over. Before anyone could gasp, she grabbed her bag and stood up.

“I’m just going to greet someone, then I’m out of here. You guys continue playing.”

Everyone except Olivia and Mark looked a bit surprised. Hanson and Sarah seemed unfazed as if they already knew what was coming.

Lucius seemed like he wished he could vanish when he caught sight of Seraphina’s dice.

Five sixes!

How did an extra one appear?

And this woman just made a few casual moves on the table to get five sixes?

When he looked up again, she was already gone.

Olivia slapped the table with satisfaction, grinning widely. “Lucius, don’t forget to strip down before you leave, just like you promised. Don’t be a bad sport!”

“You you guys cheated!” Lucius’s face flushed with anger.

…

“Cheating? Lucius, you’re the one who insisted on playing. The rules are clear. You accuse others of cheating because you lose? If you can’t handle losing, you shouldn’t play. Right, Mr. Dros?”

Olivia sneered, her tone dripping with sarcasm as she turned to Orion for support.

Lucius looked at his friend with pleading eyes, silently begging for help.

Orion glanced at Olivia, then at Hanson and Mark, before finally resting his gaze on Lucius. “A loss is a loss.”

His face remained calm and unmoved. Though he had suspected something was off with both his and Seraphina’s dice from the start, he wasn’t the least bit upset about losing. In fact, he felt oddly relieved.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
