Chapter 272: "Raising The Stake"

In his 10+ years gambling career, Evan rarely lost. One could count his losses with their fingers. It was definitely less than 10. 

Why? Because he never fought a losing game. If what he saw through Percival was unfavourable for him, why should he jump into the pit? 

Thus, Evan could be said to be invincible in the casino, just like Jake. 

That's why, at this moment, the middle-aged man asked Percival to see further into the future. 

He had to make sure whether there's no way to win or he could actually win. 

[Roger, Roger. I'll make my divination first. Evan, you should talk to that brat to distract her.] 

Percival started to mutter some foreign words as he began his divination. On the other hand, Evan put on a calm facade as he pushed the red energy crystals to Ainsley's side. 

"There you go, 5 one-coloured energy crystals. It's your win, so naturally, I shall give you what you deserve." Evan actually wanted to smile, but his cold face prevented him from doing so. 

The middle-aged man could only smirk to express his friendly attitude. Little did he know that one would want to beat him up whenever they saw his smirk. 

Ainsley was no exception. The girl's lips twitched as she nodded. 

"Thank you, uwncle..." the baby pocketed the crystals and stored them within her spatial storage necklace while secretly cursing the uncle. 

What's with that smirk, ah? Are you looking down on me, or what? That smirk is really asking for a beating! 

You are the loser, okay? You shouldn't smirk like that! 

Ainsley totally misunderstood Evan's expression, and Finley noticed it. 

The boy hurriedly put his hand over his mouth and turned around. His shoulders shook slightly as he tried his best not to laugh. 

Hahahah! Eat that, dad! Ain must be thinking of slapping your face right now! Hmp. As expected of your paralysed face! 

Finley naturally knew about his dad's eccentric way to express his feelings. People often misunderstood him, just like how his own wife did. 

Only this little boy who had lived two lives with his dad knew the truth. If he saw his dad smirking like this, he knew that the man didn't mean to look down on anyone and just genuinely wanted to smile. 

Tsk. Tsk. I won't bother to tell Ain about this misunderstanding, though. 

Finley shrugged and chose to keep silent. He would let his dad suffer a bit under Ainsley's unfriendly gaze. 

Since his dad looked like he favoured Ainsley a lot, Ainsley's attitude toward him could be a nice punishment…

Who told you to say that I'm problematic and have anger issues? Hmph! 

While Finley was busy laughing over his dad's misfortune, Percival already finished peeking into a further future. The fairy immediately reported to Evan. 

[Evan, Evan, this is bad. No matter how I look at it, when that brat chooses a number, the future will show the exact number she chose!] 

[What do you mean? So...each time she does something, the future is always in her control?] Evan furrowed his eyebrows without looking at Ainsley anymore. 

If what Percival said is true, it means that Ainsley's unknown power should be more dominant than him in this gamble. 

There were times when other ability users with weaker offensive power actually triumphed over other power when used in gambling. 

Just like one of Jake's abilities that kept him as the Billios Casino's owner….

[Yes, yes. That brat's special power is better than yours in terms of gambling! I think you shouldn't continue this game...you will never win, Evan.] 

Percival saw the future and also saw how Evan could never beat Ainsley. Out of 10 consecutive games, he lost 10 times in a row. 

That's a fearsome ability the baby got there! 

Percival was so tempted to see what kind of ability Ainsley possessed to be unbeatable in gambling. However, he could still hold onto his principle to respect others' privacy. 

When Evan got Percival's confirmation, his face darkened once more. 

I'll keep losing if I continue playing? I...Can I never win against her? 

For a moment, Evan got a mental shock. Throughout his gambling career, a few experts could dominate him, but not to the extent of losing continuously and permanently like this! 

The middle-aged man acknowledged Percival's ability, so he also believed that Ainsley did possess the ability to continue winning. 

It's just that...what kind of ability is it? So overpowered! In an uncertain circumstance like the gambling world, to ensure the win rate by 100%...

If not overpowered, then it must be a cheat. 

What should he do then? If he continued, he would just embarrass himself…

No matter what, Evan had his pride as the Walter Family's head. If he lost 10 times in front of someone he fancied to be his future sworn ally, wouldn't that be embarrassing? 

At least he had to keep his cool image in front of this baby! 

And Evan also thought not to embarrass himself in front of his naughty boy, Finley. 

But to immediately say he wouldn't continue playing after just one game…

Evan was in a dilemma. Should he continue or not? If yes, he should also get some benefits even if he loses…

When Evan was thinking of a way to benefit over his doom, out of the blue, he got a spark of inspiration. 

Oh, yeah! Why didn't I think about that? With this, even if I lose, it's still beneficial for me! 

Evan tugged the corner of his lips and looked at Ainsley with his pair of cold ruby eyes. 

"For the next game...should we raise the stake?" The uncle gave a strange proposal to the baby. 

He wanted to raise the stake!
