Seth raised the stakes high, making the manager almost kneel to him. The higher his
bet, the more commission the casino would earn.
Indeed, he had chosen the right person.
“Get her out here,” he ordered.
Isabella’s face was covered with an electronic black ribbon that could be remotely
unfastened.
Suddenly, the button came undone, and an intense light shone down.
She closed her eyes and took a moment to adjust.
Looking down, she saw the gambling table below.
Chapter 519 Betting a Fortune
Unluckily, she never expected to be deceived while watching a magic trick.
She couldn’t gauge the power of this casino or whether Seth could take her away.
Below, the game had already begun.
The traditional blackjack game in the casino, where both sides draw cards from a deck
without the jokers. The higher the score, the better, but it shouldn’t exceed twenty-one.
Otherwise, it’s considered out.
Isabella sat above. The air inside the transparent sphere was thin, making it difficult for
her to breathe, and she was sweaty.
She glanced down and saw Seth and Steven each holding a card.
“Are you ready to reveal your cards?”
“It’s no fun with just one card.” Steven put down his card and said, “I raise.”

Chapter 519 Betting a Fortune
In the second round of drawing cards, each bet was 15 million, doubling each time.
The manager stood by, his facial muscles twitching.
Seth said, “I call.”
30 million…
Isabella heard the voices from above, feeling uncomfortable.
The dealer’s movements were swift, and the second round of cards was drawn again. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Isabella’s heart was pounding like a drum. She had a feeling that there would be
another raise.
Sethr’s voice came through. “I raise.”
Steven casually uttered a “deal.”

Just a few simple words and the game proceeded quickly. The chips had piled up to 60
million in just a few minutes.
The excitement from outside could already be heard.
Those people couldn’t see Isabella but were still frantically digging up everything about
her.
Someone had just taken a sneaky photo and was about to share it on their phone. But
the bodyguard took the phone away when it was taken out.
The atmosphere became tense and serious.
“Gentlemen, are you ready to reveal your cards?”

Three cards were already on the table. It was time to reveal.
Seth was calm and composed, not lifting his head during the whole process, making it

impossible to tell how nervous he was.
On the other hand, Steven kept looking up, clicking his tongue several times. “Such a
bright sun, what a waste.”
Isabella heard him speak and cursed him in her heart but couldn’t help feeling fearful.
She was worried that Seth would lose, and she didn’t want to go with Steven.
The casino was so audacious that it might have been involved in organized crime. She
wasn’t sure about the extent of the Shaffer Family’s influence on the surface, and she
didn’t know if Seth could handle it.
Her mind was in a mess, and although she was covered in sweat, her hands and feet
were cold.
“Reveal.” Sethr’s voice rang out.

There was another wave of excitement outside. Sixty million bets were rare, although
not earth-shattering.
Steven didn’t raise the bet anymore and just agreed to open the cards.
Neither of the two men moved, leaving it all to the dealer.
Steven’s first card was an eight, a good start.
But on Seth’s side, his card was an Ace.
In blackjack, the Ace represented eleven.
The card was too big. It was easy to go over twenty-one with the next card.
Isabella felt a sinking feeling in her heart as Seth held three cards in his hand, and the
two subsequent cards couldn’t average more than five. Otherwise…

“Tsk. Luckily, I raised,” Steven shrugged, speaking sarcastically.
Indeed, Seth would have already won if they were to reveal their cards in the first round.
Seth ignored him, his thin lips slightly parted, “Let’s continue.”
