"Darling, this table seems fun." Venus who was clinging hands with David Ong commented while she pointed out where Riggs was playing. Following the table Venus pointed, David Ong smiled as he nodded.

"Seems like it -- wanna take a look?" He affectionately invited as he assisted her to the specified table. Just then, another round ended and finally, Riggs lost.

"Heh, I'm sorry, new fish. Not every day is Christmas." As the winner for the round collected his winnings, he could not help but spat his provocation to the irking, boastful man. It was evident to that man with a clean mustache that he was totally vexed by Riggs as whenever he won, he'd always blurted out unnecessary indirect insults.

"CEO Han, should we make a bet?" Seeing the situation with just a glance towards Riggs, Venus thought about having fun as well. After all, the person who doesn't deserve to be this merry was evidently enjoying his mission. Hence, for compensation to her unpleasant experience with David Ong, Venus wanted to drag sullen someone's mood as well. Not everyone should be happy and satisfied with their mission after all.

"Oh, my little kitty, you're betting?" David Ong's anticipation flashed across his eyes hearing that Venus wanted to make a bet. Not to mention, reeling Alexander Han with it. David Ong knew that Venus had a keen eye and terrifying precise instinct whenever she was making a bet.

If not for Venus's love for this kind of game as her past time, David Ong won't have the chance to meet her in this lifetime. Though it took time for both of them to accept and wholeheartedly love each other, David Ong fully trusts Venus. He concluded that Venus must have realized his inkling towards Alexander Han hence, she was lending her helping hand to unveil Alexander Han's full potential to get a spot on the grand event.

"Is that okay with you, darling? I can't put a stake against you, you know." Venus with her puppy eyes, yet as coquettish as ever, looked at David Ong which melted more icy parts of his rotten heart.

Just like what he expected, Alexander Han's eyes lit up as a cunning smile formed on the side of his lips. Alas, unlike what he looks on the surface, inside Alexander Han's mind, he knew what Venus was up to. He must admit that he tried gambling but he never actually won hefty money of it. If he was the one to ask, he lost more money than his gains. Alas, just for the heck of it, he must agree.

"Well, then, please have mercy on me," Slightly tilting his head on the side, Alexander Han granted with interest.

'I'll only squeeze several million, don't worry.' Venus thought inwardly. For some reason, Alexander Han seemed to guess the meaning behind the glint that flashed across her eyes.

'Huh, you must be saving up for a full-body transplant after this.' He clicked his tongue inwardly as he sympathized with Venus. Surely, seeing how much Riggs luxuriate himself with his mission.

Though he knew that Venus had a mission and gained most information Seraphina has, it was never explained to them what it is. Perhaps, every one of them knew about it but to him, Alexander Han doesn't have the slightest idea.

Alas, after meeting her today, in this event with David Ong beside her, Alex just realized what she had been doing all this time. Moreover, recalling Venus and Jack's short conversation regarding purifying herself, Alexander Han knew that Venus loathed David Ong. For some reason, he commends Venus acting skill as if he didn't know better, he might also think that she was head over heels with David Ong.

"Ladies first," Alexander Han courtly gestured for Venus to place her bet. Arching her brows, Venus smiled.

"I'll choose that man." Venus pointed at Riggs' stupid expression from the distant. Glancing back at Alexander Han's unchangeable smiling expression, Venus added,

"CEO Han, I fixed my stakes on that man throughout the night." referring whether Riggs might be struck by bad luck just like now or regained his blessings, Venus won't change her chosen player.

'She secured it, damn.' Alexander Han grinds his teeth inwardly. Now, Venus would surely milk him. Fortunately, his Han family's wealth wasn't easily be emptied. Therefore, Alexander Han would only feel a little pain in his pocket when this night ends.

"Alright, I'll take that one right there." Alex thrust his chin towards the person who just won and seemingly provoking Riggs. After that, Venus and Alex placed their bet, starting with a considerable amount of 1 million grand!

"Are you sure, darling?" David Ong inquired with a concerned look on his face. After all, Venus never had this kind of faith to any players she had an encounter which made David Ong wonder how skillful Riggs was in this field. Of course, David Ong didn't felt anything amiss about Venus's unusual risky place as he met Venus in this kind of bet on the sidelines.

Venus pulled David Ong's arm closer to her soft and big bust, "Don't worry, Dave darling… you know my play." Unlike her usual clingy persona, Venus had a sly smirk on her lips which sent fifty shades of l_u_s_t to David Ong.

"Ahh, little kitty, how could I ever find someone like you?" He lowly growled as David Ong resisted the urge to take Venus there and then. As response. Venus giggled as she affectionately smiled at the man who she wanted to cut his tongue and bang his head.
