A/N: So fortunately I had an unfinished chapter that I had before starting my examinations today. I tried finishing it off as best as I could, but my mind is not on novels right now, but on exam stress.
So today's chapter might be underwhelming, please forgive me 🥺. Anyway enjoy and tell me if I messed anything up so I can fix it.
Also, I dropped two new chapters of "My Grand Adventure" and 3 chapters of "Tensura: The 8th Primordial". If you are interested in those novels, they are also available on my timeline.
I RECOMMEND "MY GRAND ADVENTURE", ITS REALLY GOOD TRUST ME 😗

Yuzuki, with his two girls on either side, made his way to the roulette table. Already gathered there were four men and the dealer. Jeremy stepped forward and said to the dealer, "Yuzuki would like to join the game."
The dealer nodded. The four men looked at Yuzuki, then started scoffing and laughing among themselves.
"Seriously? A kid?" one said.
"What is this, bring-your-son-to-the-casino day?" another joked.
Yuzuki ignored them completely.
The dealer called out, "Any more players?"
Then an older woman approached the table, followed by three hulking bodyguards. She sat down gracefully and said, "I'd like to join as well."
The dealer nodded again.
The woman's eyes fell on Yuzuki, and she smiled. "Oh my, what a cute boy."
At that moment, Yuzuki was leaning back comfortably. Emma, one of the girls he'd hired, was giving him a light shoulder massage, while the other girl, Ronda, was holding up his juice straw so he could drink more easily.
Yuzuki turned his head slightly toward the woman. "Thank you," he said simply.
Ronda, noticing that Yuzuki had finished the drink in one go, said cheerfully, "Oh my, it seems Yuzuki was very thirsty. Should I get another one for you?"
"Yes, please," Yuzuki replied.
Ronda smiled and left the table to get a refill.
The men nearby snickered. "Look at this brat, trying to act all grown up," one said.
"Where are your parents, kid?" another added, and they all burst out laughing.
The older woman just ignored them. She extended her hand toward Yuzuki. "My name is Lissa," she said.
Yuzuki looked at her hand, then asked, "Why aren't you mocking me like they are?"
Lissa smiled faintly. "I'm not one to judge by appearance. Judging by your temperament, I can tell you're no simple person."
Yuzuki stared at her for a moment, then reached out and shook her hand. "Yuzuki," he said.
"A cutie with a unique name," Lissa said, smiling. "Shall we have a good game then?" She turned her gaze toward the dealer, who was preparing the wheel.
Emma continued massaging Yuzuki's shoulders and leaned closer, whispering softly in his ear. "Don't mind those old fools, Yuzuki. They could never compare to your cuteness."
Yuzuki chuckled lightly. "Don't worry. I'm not affected," he said.
Ronda returned with the refilled orange juice and handed it to him with a smile. "Yuzuki, I got you a fill-up."
The men at the table laughed again. "He's having a refill of juice?" one mocked, lighting a cigar. The thick smell of tobacco mixed into the air.
The dealer finally spoke up. "Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the roulette table. Minimum bet is ₩2 million Jenny, maximum is ₩30 million Jenny. Place your bets, please."
The dealer gave the wheel a light spin to show he was ready.
The four men placed their bets first.
The first man put ₩5 million Jenny on number 8.
The dealer responded "₩5 million Jenny straight on number 8"
The second man put ₩10 million Jenny on black.
The dealer responded "₩10 million Jenny straight on black"
The third man placed ₩7 million Jenny on even. The fourth man, trying to be clever, spread ₩12 million Jenny across three numbers: 3, 14, and 22.
Lissa looked at Yuzuki, who remained perfectly composed. She thought to herself, wondering why he was so calm. Was it because he wasn't spending his own money?
Letting curiousity take the better of her Lisa Finally spoke up. "Yuzuki, What are you betting on?"
Yuzuki tilted his head slightly. "Why are you asking? Are you planning on betting my bet?"
Lisa smiled faintly. "Why not?"
Yuzuki chuckled, then pushed ₩30 million Jenny worth of chips toward number 17. "I'm betting ₩30 million Jenny on number 17."
The dealer, maintaining professionalism, nodded. "₩30 million Jenny straight on number 17."
Shock rippled across the table. Everyone was stunned. Who bets ₩30 million on a single number with a 1 in 37 chance, especially on the first round? Even the dealer fought to hide his surprise.
Emma and Ronda were equally shocked. Emma leaned forward and whispered, "Yuzuki, maybe you don't need to bet this much on such low chances. You can't enjoy gambling if you lose all your money in two rounds."
Ronda nodded in agreement. "It's fine to bet on numbers, but don't put so much money on it, at least spread it out like that old man."
Yuzuki smiled. "It's fine. I will win."
Emma and Ronda exchanged a glance and reluctantly complied. They were hired and couldn't constantly nag and annoy him. They enjoyed watching his cute features and didn't want him to run out of money too quickly and leave early.
The men at the table scoffed again. "What a novice," one muttered.
Yuzuki looked at Lisa and smiled. "What, having second thoughts?"
Lisa returned the smile. "No. I'm just trying to gauge your thought process. I've always sucked at gambling, so I try to figure out how others play. And I can't read your decision at all."
She added, "But I'm a woman that sticks to her word. Losing a few million won't matter anyway." She pushed ₩10 million Jenny worth of chips onto number 17. "₩10 million Jenny on 17."
Shock hit the table again. Why was she following a dumb kid's bet? The men now mocked Lisa. "She looked smart, but I guess we were wrong," one said.
Another says "She must have too much money and just looking for somewhere to waste it."
Yuzuki simply looked at Lisa. "Congratulations on your ₩350 million Jenny return."
Lisa chuckled softly. "Thank you Yuzuki and congratulations on your ₩1 billion Jenny win" What an interesting kid, she thought.
Yuzuki laughs and says "To think I'd become a billionaire from one round of gambling. Is this not to easy"
Lisa laughs along with him. Emma and Ronda laugh awkwardly behind him thinking where is he getting such confidence, if he actually doesn't win its going to be so awkward.
The dealer raised his voice. "No more bets? This is your last chance."
Seeing that no one else responded, he said, "No more bets."
He spun the wheel one way and launched the ball in the opposite direction.
Everyone watched intently as the ball bounced and spun around the wheel…
Yuzuki smiled faintly to himself. You thought I would leave it up to chance? No way in hell. Of course I have a trick up my sleeve.
