Chapter 671: Chapter 668: Women’s Army Chapter 671: Chapter 668: Women’s Army Ye Rongbin felt that there was something amiss here, but he couldn’t fathom Song Chaoying’s intentions.

However, he wasn’t particularly wary; in his view, a woman, especially a newcomer to gambling whose name hadn’t made the rounds, couldn’t possibly defy the odds, no matter how lucky she was, could she?

After all, he had invited one of Las Vegas’s big fish this time. Could they really not handle a woman?

It wasn’t that Ye Rongbin underestimated Huo Sining; it’s just that throughout history, the luminaries of gambling had always been men. Women, in general, seemed to lack the commanding presence. Even when it came to high-stakes gambling, it was doubtful they could truly let go.

But he didn’t relax his guard too much and waved to the people below, saying indifferently,
“You may go now. Tell Carlos and Danio not to be careless nor to underestimate the opponent.”

Seeing Ye Rongbin being so cautious, the Xiang Brothers were somewhat puzzled. “Brother Ye, is there really a need to be this careful? How capable can a woman be?”

Ye Rongbin looked at the few sheets of paper in his hand and shook his head slightly, “Better safe than sorry.”

Xiang Zhenhua stared at the documents without speaking, deep in thought.

On the other hand, Xiang Fuxing slightly curled his lips, showing some disdain.

The Asia Star set sail toward the high seas and only reached international waters after 5 p.m.

After dinner, which was around six-thirty, Huo Sining followed Song Chaoying to the heart of the cruise ship, the casino.

Since this was the triennial high-seas gambling event, most of those on board were tycoons and spectators. Before dinner, many were gambling, but right after dinner, people quickly came to clear the area.

By the time Huo Sining and the others entered, the casino was already empty, leaving only six gambling tables in the center and a few seats for the audience around the perimeter.

Huo Sining noticed that cameras filled the corners of the hall, and even around the gambling tables, pinhole cameras were in place. It seemed the casino had made ample preparations to prevent cheating.

According to Song Chaoying, these cameras were connected to the LCD monitors in the cabins, allowing the spectators to watch the entire gambling process live.

This design was not only to satisfy the curiosity of the spectators but also to allow those on board to supervise the event in real time.

After all, with stakes so high, problems could arise that no one could be held accountable for.

When it was time to gamble, the spectators had returned to their rooms by just after six o’clock, all waiting in their rooms to watch the entire proceedings at seven o’clock.

Gu Xu, Su Qingqing, Ouyang Jun, and Bai Yishan were likewise left in their rooms without exception. Su Qingqing was restless, pacing back and forth in the room, occasionally taking out her phone to check the time, unable to calm her mind.

“What if Ningning loses this match? Wouldn’t that deeply offend the Song Family?” Su Qingqing suddenly asked, “If she loses, doesn’t that mean Miss Six of the Song Family will have to deal with the Xiang Brothers…?”

Ouyang Jun glanced at Su Qingqing, and said irritably, “You’re worrying about nothing. With the move that Huo Sining revealed to Song Chaojing, she could easily wipe out those so-called experts!”

“In my opinion, Huo Sining hasn’t shown her real strength at all. Otherwise, how could she have been so calm when Miss Song Six signed that gambling agreement? You see, she has been completely composed ever since she got on the boat–not a hint of nervousness in sight.”

Su Qingqing wanted to ask more, but after dinner, Gu Xu, who had been sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed in deep thought, suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the two, and said indifferently, “Stay calm and don’t be hasty.”

Once glanced at by Gu Xu, Su Qingqing immediately behaved, sitting down quietly to wait for the live broadcast.

Huo Sining followed the Song Sisters into the venue, where more than a dozen people were already seated in the audience. Seeing Song Chaoying, they stood up one after another, nodding slightly to her as a greeting.

Song Chaoying merely nodded casually in response and went straight to sit on one side of the audience seats.

“Those people are minor shareholders of the high seas casino; they just want to get a slice of the action on the high seas. The people they’ve invited will take the stage soon, but you don’t need to bother about them; they don’t have the guts to swallow such a big piece of the pie. Just leave them some scraps when we’re eating the meat. Our main targets are the Ye family and the Xiang family.”

Seeing the doubt in Huo Sining’s eyes, Song Chaoying explained softly in her ear.

Huo Sining nodded, realizing that the battle for shares was between the Song, Ye, and Xiang families.

“After we draw lots later, it’ll be your turn to play. The first three games are just warm-ups; use them to practice. Remember to save your strength; there’s no need to be too impatient. The real contest begins once the others are eliminated. Just focus on your own performance; those people don’t have any tricks up their sleeves. We’ll be watching from another room, and we can see what cards you have in hand.”

Huo Sining understood this; she had seen the “King of Gamblers” movie series, where the observers in other rooms could see the cards on the table through a large screen, which essentially prevented any cheating.

“But you can’t take it lightly either. This time, the Ye and Xiang families have made large bets and have invited some big shots from the last Las Vegas tournament to gamble. Danio isn’t that much of a concern, but Carlos is definitely not easy to handle. You have to be very careful, and don’t fall for his tricks.”

Huo Sining hadn’t heard of Danio and Carlos, but since they stood out in a place teeming with experts like Las Vegas, it proved that they definitely had the skills and means.

Of course, Huo Sining didn’t dare to be careless; although she had the Heavenly Eye, it wasn’t an omnipotent power and didn’t guarantee a 100% chance to win.

Song Chaoying was about to give Huo Sining a few more instructions, but just then, the Ye and Xiang families walked into the venue at the same time, causing Song Chaoying to swallow the words she was about to say.

“Miss Song Six, is this the expert you’ve found?”

Xiang Zhenhua’s gaze lingered on Huo Sining for a few seconds before he couldn’t help but laugh, “A heroine indeed, Miss Song Six! Are you planning to form a Women’s Army to sweep Las Vegas?”

Song Chaoying’s face flushed with anger, ready to retort, but Huo Sining pulled at her arm.

Huo Sining shook her head and said lightly, “It’s useless to say more. They won’t be arrogant for long. Just sit and watch the outcome.”

With a tug from Huo Sining, Song Chaoying also calmed down, her expression becoming much more tranquil, and she let out a cold snort, saying no more.

Ye Rongbin instinctively took a few more glances at Huo Sining, surprise flashing in his eyes.

He hadn’t expected that, under such circumstances, this woman could remain so composed and patient, and there wasn’t a hint of nervousness on her face. She sat in the audience seats, completely composed, as if nothing mattered to her.

Ye Rongbin’s estimation of this woman rose considerably.

Regardless, the fact that she could remain so calm and collected without showing any emotion in such a serious situation showed that this woman was definitely not as simple as she appeared on the surface; perhaps she really did have some hidden talents.
