The sound of the gun chamber closing echoed through the otherwise silent room, causing everyone to jump.

Lachlan had finally closed the chamber of his revolver. Inside were five bullets, with only one empty slot.

“Don’t accuse me of cheating. Check it yourself!” Lachlan said, blindfolded as he slid his revolver across the table towards Snake.

Snake and Scar exchanged a glance before Snake picked up the revolver and inspected it thoroughly. It was indeed clean.

As he slid it back to Lachlan, who was still blindfolded, Lachlan flicked open the chamber and spun it around with his hand.

“Kid, this isn’t gambling anymore; this is pure suicide,” Snake said in a hoarse voice that lacked its previous calmness and composure. In his eyes, Lachlan was as good as dead.

Gambling always had an element of chance to it; there was always a possibility for victory. But now Snake felt that there was no way out for Lachlan – he would surely die.

“You said it, so how about we bet on it? Can you handle the stakes?” Lachlan played with his revolver in his hand, seemingly unconsciously turning the cylinder.

To everyone else, this was just a casual action without any meaning. After all, he had spun the cylinder many times before and it had stopped randomly. So under these circumstances, no one thought much of him fiddling with the cylinder again.

Besides, from start to finish, Lachlan had covered his eyes with a black cloth.

“Can’t handle it? Kid, you still trying to bluff me?” Snake sneered. His expression looked somewhat ferocious.

“Shoot then!”

“You shoot first!”

Snake shouted as everyone’s hearts tightened and they stared at Lachlan!Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Their eyes didn’t dare blink for even a second!

In the next moment, they saw Lachlan’s finger move!

He really pulled the trigger!

“Lachlan!” Miranda couldn’t help but cry out.

Click!

However, the imagined gunshot did not occur, only a slight clicking sound.

Empty!

Despite having five bullets in the magazine, Lachlan had won the bet.

How was this possible?

Yet, it happened right before their eyes.

Phew…

The next second, everyone who had been holding their breath let out a sigh of relief.

When there was only one bullet left in the gun, everyone wanted him dead!

But when there were five bullets in it instead, everyone hoped that he’ll stay alive!

Miranda felt her palms sting and realized she had unknowingly dug her nails into her flesh.

Mason wiped his sweat and noticed that his back was drenched with perspiration.

They had faced life and death before, and Mason had even killed someone with his own hands. But this situation was… too exciting!

“No! It can’t be! How is this possible?” At that moment, a voice with a different tone sounded.

Snake’s eyes widened as he stared at Lachlan like he was seeing a ghost. He nervously yelled out, “What the hell? It’s impossible!”

“Enough talk. It’s your turn now,” Lachlan said as he finally removed the black cloth from his eyes and slid the revolver in front of Snake.

Trembling, Snake grabbed the revolver and opened the chamber to check it again – all five bullets were still there!

Lachlan hadn’t tampered with it or removed any bullets.

“Please! I hope you can survive too, Snake bro. That way we can play more rounds,” Lachlan gestured and said.

Snake rotated the chamber of the revolver while taking deep breaths before placing it shakily against his own forehead.

“Ahh!!!”

He widened his eyes, paused for a few seconds, and suddenly screamed out in a burst of emotion.

Peng!

Thud!

Immediately after, there were two muffled sounds.

The revolver was heavily thrown onto the gambling table by him, and he fell to the ground.

As if, he had lost all his strength in his body.

“I… I won’t gamble anymore! I admit defeat!”

“I admit defeat!”

Snake’s voice, full of despair, rang out and even had a hint of crying.

Just now, he swept through the casino with calm and collected gambling skills, but now his mental state was close to collapsing.

He really didn’t have the courage to pull the trigger.

That exquisite gambling technique cannot guarantee that he will definitely switch to an empty chamber.

Snake felt like he was pulling the trigger, and today he might truly die right here.

He didn’t want to die, he hadn’t enjoyed enough yet!

He had money and several charming mistresses in Agosville.

“Scar, I’m returning Mr. Webb’s payment to me… double!”

“I’m not gambling anymore…”

Snake sat on the ground, staring blankly at Scar.

Scar didn’t say anything, just nodded in understanding. He knew how Snake felt; he himself didn’t have the courage to pull the trigger either!

“Heh heh, Scar, don’t let the door hit you on your way out!” Mason laughed and made a mocking gesture of seeing them off. He felt so satisfied watching Scar and Snake in such a sorry state. It was cathartic!

“You think you’re tough? You think you can sweep through my casino?” Mason sneered at them both. “If you’re so tough, then keep being tough!”

After Scar helped Snake up and they left together with their tails between their legs, Mason turned to his brother-in-law Lachlan with suspicion in his eyes.

“Thanks for your help! Who are you really?”

Mason stared intently at Lachlan as if trying to figure him out.

The contempt in his eyes had turned into surprise and suspicion.

This guy was definitely not an ordinary person.

It was obvious that he wasn’t a useless puppet either.

But this made Mason suspect Lachlan’s intentions for getting close to his sister even more.

“I’m your brother-in-law!” Lachlan shrugged, as if it were obvious.

Just as Mason was about to say something, the sound of hurried high heels tapping against the ground echoed through the air.

Miranda walked towards Lachlan with a cold expression on her face and a determined stride in her step.

The next second, she raised her hand and slapped it towards Lachlan’s face.

Startled, Lachlan grabbed onto her hand before it could make contact. “What are you doing?”

Damn it!

He had helped her brother out and now this woman was acting crazy?

“You bastard! Don’t you want to live anymore? Do you know how worried I was just now?”

Miranda’s beautiful eyes turned red as she scolded him angrily.

Rolling his eyes, Lachlan thought to himself: Here we go again…

“Don’t worry, I’ve got this under control. Didn’t I do all of this for our little bro? Come on now, don’t cry!”

Lachlan grabbed Miranda’s hand and smoothly pulled her into his embrace, settling her onto his lap.

Hiss…

This feeling was truly something else!

Miranda was taken aback, widening her eyes as she looked at Lachlan!

Since when had she ever been in such an ambiguous position with a man?

However, in front of her younger brother, she couldn’t just get up at this moment.

In an instant, she felt a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance. The look in her eyes as she gazed at Lachlan seemed to carry a hint of hostility.

The next second, she clenched her teeth and leaned in close to Lachlan’s ear.

“You jerk, just you wait!”

But this scene, seen by others, practically made everyone drop their jaws in astonishment.

The usually aloof and indifferent Miranda was actually sitting on a man’s lap.

And, to add to the shock, they seemed to be bantering intimately, their heads almost touching.

Mason cleared his throat, his expression completely changed.

Could it be that his sister, this time, was being serious???
