Chapter 2157
The clothes maketh the man-Meg certainly proved that after she got changed.
Taking everyone's looks of envy or lust as flattery, she catwalked her way back to the private room.
Jouri was singing as she sat beside Frank, and seeing that Meg was making a play, she smiled as she whispered to Frank, "I'm shocked. You really have a way with the ladies!"
Frank ignored Jouri, while Meg took her seat, brushing her hair behind her ear flirtatiously as she picked up her dice cup elegantly. "Come on, let's get started."
Frank picked up his cup as well and shook it randomly.
Meg shook her dice for a while before slamming the cup on the table. "Three threes!"
Frank lifted his cup to check his dice and said, "Four threes!"
"Six!" Meg even held up her hands to gesture.
"Showdown!"
Frank lifted his dice cup, showing that he only had a single one, and none of the others were threes.
Meg's face fell as she lifted her cup too.
And there were three threes!noveldrama
Frank smirked.
Meg had done her best to be subtle-which was helped by the loudness in the room that prevented most from hearing it. However, Frank was all too aware that Meg kept one finger hidden behind her cup.
She would tap the cup with that finger just before the showdown, moving the dice inside.
Frank was actually surprised there was such a skilled player lurking here the lady could pull a really cool trick.
"You'd better be sure about this. There are things that you must finish once you get started," Frank warned her pointedly.
Meg did a double take-could he have seen through her trick?
But that was impossible. Now even a superior being could have heard it with all this ruckus!
Moreover, she had kept a poker face that would not arouse suspicion, so she ignored Frank's words and gestured. "Time to drink up, Lugh!"
Frank snorted and chugged a glass. "Let's go again!"
Since Meg refused to admit she was cheating, Frank decided to teach her a lesson.
"One one!" He made the first bet.
"One five!" Meg fellowed.
"Two fives."
"Three fives!"
"Four!"
"Alright, showdown!"
Even as Meg called out, she was puzzled.
She had two ways of cheating-the first was to shift the dice cup subtly to change the result like she did just now, just before the showdown. The other was to use pure technique to get the numbers she wanted
Swno
The latter method was a wildcard, so Meg usually would make sure she did not leave things to chance And since it was very difficult to get other winning combinations, Meg generally rolled four-of-a-kind
This was one such occasion... but how could Frank have known?
Fortunately, she had a technique, and she used it just as she opened her cup.
Frank did the same, revealing no ones or fives.
"How bold of you to bluff," Meg giggled. "Calling me when you have nothing."
"Is that so? I have bad luck, but I don't need your insurance anyway. Take a good look."
Something struck Meg as strange when she saw Frank's confidence and looked down to see that she had four fives.
Wait, she remembered changing the dice clearly! How did it end up as the same ones from before?
She had no idea that as a martial
artist, Frank was adept at sleight of hand-when Meg opened hers, he knocked on the table ever so slightly, turning the dice back to the original number.
"I'll drink!"
For her part, Meg was no sore loser and chugged a glass.
She picked up her cup again, shaking her dice while exclaiming, "I'm impressed. I didn't think you'd be this good!"
