He was making her beg for mercy, making her admit defeat!
She was not so foolish to think that he would let her go even if she did concede. What’s more, she had never considered giving in.
"Suit yourself!" she said with indifference. After all, her life was already in his hands; he could do whatever he pleased, and she was powerless to resist or fight back.
Seeing her so oblivious to the situation, Rong Shaoze’s smile faded, and he scoffed, "Those are your words. Lin Xinlan, you’ve just squandered the last chance I gave you."
"Show your cards." He revealed his own without even glancing at them first.
The opponent also revealed their cards, and Rong Shaoze won.
It was the most savage form of gambling, all left to fate. Win or lose, it all came down to luck.
This style of gambling was also the most exhilarating, inevitably causing great tension.
Lin Xinlan breathed a sigh of relief, but another woman’s face turned pale; she closed her eyes tightly, her body trembling like a sieve.
The man who had lost uttered sharply, "Shaoze hasn’t even made a move yet, what are you afraid of? Show some spirit for me, don’t disgrace me!"
The woman mustered all her strength to open her eyes, uttering a faint sound, "Yes... "
Not only did she have to brave the danger that was looming, but she also had to pretend to be courageous, all to avoid shaming the man.
This was her tragedy, as well as the despicableness of these men!
Lin Xinlan’s lips were pressed tightly together, and her heart felt cold and thin.
Rong Shaoze smiled, stood up, and picked up a dart, looking at the woman with deep, piercing eyes.
The roulette wheel began to spin, and though the woman controlled herself well, she couldn’t help but let out a panic-stricken scream.
To the men, her scream was thrilling; to the women, it was terrifying.
Lin Xinlan watched them intently, not knowing whether the dart thrown by Rong Shaoze would hit the woman.
If it accidentally hit a vital spot...
Someone would surely die, wouldn’t they...
In their eyes, were human lives so trivial and insignificant?
Couldn’t they understand the meaning of respecting life?!
The man raised his hand, the dart aimed at the spinning wheel, his expression cold, without a hint of tension or mercy.
Lin Xinlan couldn’t help shouting, "Enough! You maniacs, you’ll kill her! Rong Shaoze, stop it, don’t be so cruel, you’ve lost all humanity!"
Her reproach drew a burst of laughter from the men.
Coming to ’Room number one with the character for earth’, was like coming to hell; they had long since forsaken any semblance of humanity. Talking to them about cruelty and humanity was as laughable to them as a joke.
Rong Shaoze chuckled coldly, without any hesitation, he threw the dart in his hand!
Lin Xinlan screamed, her face turning pale with fright.
The woman on the roulette wheel had already gone silent, still rotating with it, no one knowing how she was, or where the dart had hit.
Slowly, the wheel stopped. The dart was embedded just under her left arm, not having hit her body.
Lin Xinlan breathed a sigh of relief, and all the women did the same.
The men applauded and cheered, taking the opportunity to flatter: "I heard that Shaoze can hit the bullseye within a hundred steps without fail; seeing it today, his reputation is indeed well-deserved, Shaoze has impressive skills!"
Rong Shaoze looked at Lin Xinlan, his lips curling into a slight smile, "Perhaps, it’s just a matter of luck."
Looking at his smile, Lin Xinlan’s lips became a straight line.
To him, life was just a plaything...
