New Year Gamble; I Humiliated My Boastful Uncle

Barton was so proud at this moment that he laughed and was about to take the money and left.

But at that moment, I called out to him, “Uncle.”

“Why, still want to play?”

I nodded.

Barton raised his eyebrows and said, “You have no money, why do you still want to play? Even though we are having fun, we can't borrow money to play.”

I smiled and said, “No need to borrow money, I still have 30,000 in my savings card.”

Before Barton could even open his mouth, my father became anxious, slapped his thigh in panic and scolded me, “Erwin! That's the down payment for you to buy a house and get married, you can't touch it!”

Barton immediately pointed at my dad's nose and sneered, “Hey, what are you yelling about? Look at your son’s ambition. Since my nephew wants to play, I will play with him today!”

My father did not dare to say anything to Barton and turned around and shouted at me, “You, you want to piss me off to death, aren't you?! 

“Your mother and I have worked hard all our lives to save enough for your down payment and you are going to lose it all at once. What are we going to do in the future?”

I did not listen to my father's advice and directly transferred all 30,000 dollars into my bank account in front of Barton.

Seeing that I had another 30,000 dollars, Barton smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits. His eyeballs rolled and he said again, “Erwin, don’t you think 1,000 is a bit too low? I think we should go for something bigger.”

I asked calmly, “How big do you want to play?”

Barton held up two index fingers and gestured in front of me, “How about ten thousand per round? We'll decide the winner in three rounds!”

I knew that he wanted to roll the dice three more times and win all the 30,000 dollars I had.

But what I was waiting for was his raise. So, I agreed directly.

When the relatives saw that Barton and I had raised the bet to 10,000 in one round, they all gasped and said that we were playing too big and that there was no need to do this since we were all relatives.

My dad was panicking and rushed over to slap me on the back of my head, “You bastard, are you crazy? Are you really going to lose all our family's wealth? 

“Barton plays every day and everyone knows that he is the God of Gamblers in the cities. Why are you, a young boy, competing with him!”

I could tell that my father was scolding me on the surface, but in fact he wanted me to give up and give in to Barton.

After all, thirty thousand might not be a big deal in the eyes of Barton.

But that money was our family fortune, so I could not afford to lose.

“Hey, are you annoying? I've already told you that my nephew is different from you! It's only 30,000 dollars. He's still young and will have plenty of opportunities to earn more in the future!”

Barton glanced at my dad impatiently. He seemed to be praising me, but in fact he was afraid that I would back down and not continue playing.

“Yes, it's New Year's Day, just let your son have fun. If you make trouble again, it will break the rules.”

At this time, my aunt, Aurora Waters, also came over unhappily and blamed my father.

A sneer across my eyes, but I said nothing and asked Barton to shake the dice cup quickly. “Uncle, don't worry about my dad, let's continue.”

Soon, Barton proudly shook the dice cup again.

I also shook my hand away at the same time.

“What a pity, it was almost good.”

Barton opened the dice cup first, four sixes and one five.

It was obviously very big, but he smacked his lips in a Versailles way and said with a look of regret.

My relatives all opened their eyes wide, waiting for me to open the cup.

This round, it was ten thousand!

If I lost again, I would really lose big.

I did not waste any time and opened the dice cup right away.

The next moment.

 When everyone saw the number on my dice, their pupils shrank and they all showed expressions of disbelief.
