If he had won that one too, I would have blacklisted him and had him kicked out of the casino.' the dealer smirked inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took the chips from the table and uttered, \"It seems you ran out of luck.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up!\" Angelica yelled vigorously at the dealer, but of course, no one could hear Angelica.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Angelica turned to Rudy to comfort him, but Rudy had no change in his expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as though Rudy was well prepared for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It didn't affect me much since I am still on the profit side. But I guess I should make bets on multiple numbers now, so I will have a higher chance of winning,' Rudy decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But…' Rudy looked at the numbers on the table and wondered, 'Should I bet on two numbers or three?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Two will give me 17x, while three will give me 1x of the original bet.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy pondered for a while and thought, 'Or maybe I should go with a corner, that is four numbers? But then I will get 8x of my bet.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy placed chips worth 1k$ on number 11 as single and chips worth 1k$ on number 26 and 29 as split.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Even if I lose, in both of them. I would still have 1630$ left. And… I might cheat if I don't see any way out. I don't want to go back without earning 10k$ tonight.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy could easily ask Angelica to move the ball for him even without using his telekinesis power, but Rudy wanted to play fair and test his luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dealer spun the wheel, and the ball stopped on 26.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Yes! I will get 17x of 1k$' Rudy rejoiced and grinned at Angelica.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dealer took the chip worth 1k$ that Rudy had betted on number 11. And gave him the chips worth 17K to Rudy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I have nearly 20k$. A lot more than my target,' Rudy uttered to himself. 'I shouldn't test my luck anymore and withdraw the money.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will be—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the black dress girl stood in front of Rudy and leaned on the roulette table to look at Rudy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Rudy sighed after seeing her and thought, 'What's with her, though? Is she trying to extort me or something?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But she has a lot more money than me, so that's probably not it.' Rudy raised his brows and asked, \"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have been watching your game since the start,\" the black dress girl said with an alluring gaze in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay…\" Rudy uttered awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was an interesting game,\" she said with a smile on her face. \"Would you like to play a game with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will pass,\" Rudy rejected her casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl furrowed her brows and said, \"Why don't you play with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Because I don't want to!' Rudy let out a weary sigh and said, \"I am happy with what I won today. So I don't want to make any more bets and lose them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy was talking in a respectable manner since he didn't know anything about the girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'She is probably from a wealthy and powerful family. It would be best if I don't get involved with them,' Rudy uttered inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl closed her distance with Rudy and said, \"What if I pay for you too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...?\" Rudy raised his brows in confusion and asked, \"Why… would you want to do that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl puffed her cheeks and said, \"I just want to play with someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So…? Will you play with me?\" The girl asked with a curious look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy pondered for a while and asked, \"What if I lose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing,\" the girl replied with a shrug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And.. what if I win? Who gets to keep the winnings?\" Rudy asked with a curious yet calm look on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can keep them since it's you who won,\" the girl replied nonchalantly. \"But I will ask you to pay me the betting amount back to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only if I win, right? I don't have to give you anything if I lose?\" Rudy wanted to make everything clear before deciding on the girl's offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" the girl nodded in reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What's with this girl? She is giving me a golden opportunity. This is too good to be true! This girl has to be planning something, but obviously, I can't ask her, and she won't tell me her true intention.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Should I accept her offer? I can just use my powers if things get messy.' Rudy pondered for a while and thought, 'I also want to test my luck since it has been abnormally good beyond my expectations.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy glanced at Angelica to see what she had to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don't you agree to play with her?\" Angelica asked. \"I know she sounds shady, but if she is truly planning something, then you can cheat and win.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shrugged her shoulders and said, \"I will be keeping a close eye on her too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy nodded at the girl and said, \"I would be glad to accept your offer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nice!\" the girl jumped and said, \"Finally, I can play with someone of my age.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl rushed to the counter and bought poker chips worth 100,000$. Out of that, she gave 50,000$ to Rudy and said, \"Good luck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She placed the chips worth 2k$ on number 12, 2k$ on number 23, 2k$ on number 33, 2k$ on number 35, 2k$ on number 19, and 2k$ on number 5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Straight on all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Too many bets!' Rudy exclaimed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl turned to Rudy and said, \"Your turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Since it's not my money, and nothing happens if I lose…' Rudy placed six bets on the numbers 2, 11, 20, 29, 13, and 6.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad…\" the girl said after looking at Rudy's bets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Well, I just copied your layout,' Rudy scoffed softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dealer spun the wheel, and after a few seconds, the ball stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it didn't stop on any of the numbers the girl had placed bets on, nor did it stop Rudy's number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stopped at 0, and both Rudy and the girl lost their bet that was worth 24k$ in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>====\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks, @VinsmokeReiju_SIM, and @Mel_12345, for the gift!\u003C\u002Fp>",1040,"2026-06-06T12:42:09.048Z",1,"novelbin.me","6fd21971fd0a0d672c8676320387adc452c01c8ca959211ae9015278007ccb18","esper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-52","esper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-200",1163,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fesper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-cover.jpg"]
