Chapter 19: The Fat Sheep Who Always Loses in Gambling
The man called Big Brother excitedly rubbed his hands like a fly, just as he was about to go over, he heard his subordinate's words.
"Oh my god, so big, Big Brother, why don't we hehehe?"
Big Brother saw his subordinate's lustful intentions, speaking explicit words without reservation, and a chill immediately ran down his spine.
Just then, perhaps having been overheard, the girl standing beside the big fat sheep at the gambling table looked over with a frosty gaze, and the chill in her eyes made Big Brother's hair stand on end.
He decisively turned around, grabbed the lustful subordinate, and slapped him back and forth several times without mercy, angrily saying,
"You audacious dog! What nonsense are you spouting? I told you to drink less piss!"
The subordinate was disoriented from the beating. At this point, Big Brother secretly noticed that the girl had turned her head back, which made him a little bolder. He leaned closer to his subordinate and whispered a warning,
"Are you looking for death, kid? Do you know who that big fat sheep is?!"
The subordinate truly didn't know the identity of the big fat sheep and quickly shook his head.
Big Brother said mysteriously,
"Don't spread this around. I also heard it from my second brother's brother-in-law's sister's husband. The big fat sheep is called Tsunade, and she is a ninja! If you dare to lay a hand on her, the grass on your grave will be three feet high!"
At this moment, the beaten subordinate shivered, nearly peeing a few drops out of fear. He covered his mouth with a mournful, terrified expression,
"Big Brother, did the big fat sheep hear what I just said?"
Big Brother's mouth twitched. Is it a bit late for you to be scared now?
He pointed to the door, showing his subordinate a way out,
"I don't know, but it's not too late for you to run now."
The subordinate didn't care about earning money from the big fat sheep anymore and dashed out the door, disappearing without a trace.
Once Big Brother saw his subordinate run off, he led the remaining people to the gambling table where the big fat sheep was.
Just as the big fat sheep had finished a round and was in the betting phase, his eyes lit up, and he eagerly watched the big fat sheep, waiting for her to place her bet.
"Oh, how did I lose again?"
Tsunade showed a vexed expression.
Shizune's mouth twitched slightly beside her. Well, she lost another million ryō!
Seeing Lady Tsunade reach for the box beside her, she quickly clutched the box to her chest. Facing Lady Tsunade's confused gaze, she quickly said,
"Lady Tsunade! This is all the money we have left! We still need to stay in a hotel and eat later! Lady Tsunade, you don't want to end up on the streets, starving, do you?!"
"Don't worry, Shizune, I have a feeling we're definitely going to win this round! We'll make a fortune!"
Tsunade declared confidently.
Shizune didn't believe her at all. Lady Tsunade had said these words countless times; it wasn't the first time she'd said them. Every time she said this, she would lose all their money!
Shizune quickly shook her head, refusing to hand over the box.
Tsunade, however, didn't care. She was already hyped up, and no one could stop her. Seeing that Shizune wouldn't agree, she reached out to grab it. Shizune couldn't possibly hold on, and Tsunade snatched the box from Shizune's arms.
"Give it to me!"
Tsunade clicked open the box, quickly pulled out the remaining banknotes, and threw them onto the table with a grand gesture.
Seeing that the big fat sheep had placed her bet, many gamblers with ulterior motives at the table's eyes lit up, and they all pulled out money to bet the opposite of Tsunade.
This entire night, they had made a lot of money from Tsunade by doing this.
One by one, they were shouting, beaming with joy, and smiling, as if they had already foreseen winning the bet even before it started.
Other gamblers who had heard the news and just arrived also pulled out all their money to bet, not to be outdone. Without exception, all their bets were the opposite of Tsunade's.
Seeing this scene, Shizune rubbed her forehead in distress, wondering what they would do when they ran out of money. She didn't want to sleep on the streets.
Tsunade also looked very displeased at this scene. Her short, light yellow eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her light red lips were slightly pouted. Her fair, tender cheeks were slightly flushed because she had just drunk alcohol.
Looking at this alluring scene, many gamblers couldn't help but gulp.
Shizune frowned slightly, but Tsunade didn't care. She grumbled and slapped the table,
"Boss, boss, hurry up and open the bet for me! I'm going to make these guys lose everything! I'll make you all regret it!"
Facing Tsunade's urging, the boss also laughed loudly,
"Come on, come on, no more bets! No more bets!"
Seeing the boss about to open the bet, Tsunade's eyes, blurred from drinking, stared intently at the dice, not blinking.
Even before the dice were opened, Shizune seemed to anticipate the result and began to pack her things with a bitter expression, such as Lady Tsunade's discarded coat.
The other gamblers all looked relaxed, as if they had already won.
Only Tsunade's eyes didn't blink. She had a strong premonition that she would win.
The moment the dice were opened, Tsunade excitedly shouted,
"Haha! I won! I won!"
The boss was also stunned when he saw the result, then he coughed and announced,
"Five 6s, a Yaotz, the house wins!"
The "house" he referred to was naturally Tsunade.
The moment this result was announced, almost everyone looked incredulous.
Shizune, who was packing her things, also suddenly looked up, bewildered, thinking she had misheard.
Lady Tsunade won a bet? How was that possible?
However, no matter how much she rubbed her eyes, the result wouldn't change.
Five of a kind, the house wins. Lady Tsunade made a huge profit on this one! Not only did she win back the 20 million she lost this afternoon, but she also made an additional 30 million.
"Hahahaha."
Tsunade, beaming with satisfaction, placed her foot on the chair and laughed triumphantly with her hands on her hips.
She felt she had never been this excited before.
Tsunade swept all the money on the table into the box like a whirlwind, then snorted at the dazed gamblers, feeling a sense of relief.
"Shizune, let's go!"
With that, Tsunade happily hugged the money box and called Shizune to leave, ignoring the wailing and crying behind her.
After leaving the gambling den, a cool breeze blew for a while, and Tsunade suddenly became quiet, while the originally sullen Shizune was happily chattering.
"Oh my, Lady Tsunade, it's like a dream~
I really didn't expect Lady Tsunade to actually win, haha~
Oh, so much money! Now we can find a luxurious hotel and eat delicious food."
Shizune suddenly realized that Lady Tsunade seemed a bit off. She secretly glanced at her a few times, muttering to herself,
"Lady Tsunade rarely wins a bet, why isn't she as happy as I imagined?"
Shizune found it very strange.
Tsunade also felt strange, but she couldn't pinpoint why. She just felt a tightness in her chest, as if something bad had happened.
She touched her chest and sighed softly, hoping she was overthinking it.
