Chapter 506 You Can't Win

"Get lost immediately? What do you mean?" Danny asked, confused.

"No, not immediately! If you can't pass the test today, you won't be able to walk out of The Big

Dipper alive! Your life will end here," Lily clarified with an ominous tone.

"Hold on! What do you mean, Lily? Didn't we agree that you needed my help? How did we go from

that to you wanting me dead?" Danny protested.

"It's not that I want your life. But you, country boy, if you want to marry my Jessica and climb the

ranks within The Matthews, you'd better show some real skill. The Big Dipper here is your first trial,"

Lily explained.

Danny glanced over the casino and took in the atmosphere of The Big Dipper before understanding

dawned on him. "This place is brimming with a killer vibe!" he exclaimed.

"You still have a choice! You're not tied to The Big Dipper until you place a bet. So, you can still

back out and escape right now. But if you do, forget about ever stepping foot in The Matthews

household," Lily said, giving him an out.

"Escape? Do you really see me as the type of guy who runs away?" Danny challenged with a hint of

pride in his voice.

"So you're not backing out? But think it through. If you sit at the table here in The Big Dipper, you'll

have to lose at least ten million dollars before you're allowed to leave."

Lily was genuinely trying to give Danny a friendly warning.

"Do you think I can't afford to lose ten million?" he asked.

"Of course you can lose ten million, especially with how Jessica spoils you. But even if you lost it,

you wouldn't want to leave. Not without winning it back, because I'd look down on you. You’re a

country boy but one with pride. You wouldn’t allow me to disrespect you!" Lily continued her

psychological play, aiming to take control of Danny’s mindset.

Spirit Animal Valley was a fluke that he passed, Lily thought, but she was convinced that there was

no way he could pass the test of The Big Dipper.

"Rest assured, Lily! I’m going to disappoint you! I will use this hundred bucks to win a billion here at

The Big Dipper! I’ll win at least that much!" Danny proclaimed confidently.

Lily let out a scoff, a dismissive, scornful chuckle. “Win a billion with a hundred bucks here? Do you

think that's possible? The Big Dipper isn't any ordinary casino. Even a gambling god would lose

here!”

"Gambling god? Doesn't mean a thing! Could a gambling god pull off what I can? In front of me, a

gambling god is nothing!" Danny said with bravado.

"Keep boasting! We’ll see if you’re still doing it after you’ve lost everything. And don't forget, tears

won't help you here. Let me remind you before you start – if you lose a million or two, Jessica might

not say much. Lose ten or eight billion, and she’ll definitely be mad. But if you lose a hundred billion

or so, she'll surely break up with you; she'll kick you to the curb!"

"Lily, are you so sure that I'm going to lose?" he asked.

"Of course!"

"And what if I win? What then?" Danny pressed.

"What do you want to happen?" Lily asked.

"If I win, you have to give me a kiss," he bargained with a smirk.

"Get lost! Shameless! Watching pretty dreams! Kiss you? I'd rather slap you across the face!" Lily

snapped.

"So you're afraid to bet with me, Lily? That means deep down, you believe I can win, right?" Danny

teased, taunting her.
