Everyone had their own strategies ready, and excitement filled the air as they prepared to begin the game.


    Linda pped her hands cheerfully as she weed another woman into their circle. With a bright smile, she introduced, “By the way, this is Gianna Rowe. She’s a close friend of mine. Since none of us are particrly skilled at gambling, let’s kick off the game with just the four of us!”


    ine chimed in eagerly, “Absolutely, let’s dive right in! Honestly, my hands are itching to y!”


    Linda beamed and suggested, “Since this is our first mahjong game together with Sister ine, let’s keep the stakes modest. We’ll start with one thousand dors and cap it at sixty-four times, sound good?”


    “What?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    ine reacted with surprise at Linda’s proposal. She eximed, “A thousand dors capped at sixty-four times?! That could end up costing more than sixty thousand dors by the end! Is this how you usually y mahjong?”


    Linda chuckled and waved her hand dismissively, saying, “Sister ine, is that really considered a lot? To be honest, this is the smallest stake I’ve ever yed with. Just the other day, with some friends, we were wagering between three thousand to five thousand dors, and we even had rounds where we bet ten thousand dors!”


    She then pointed to Hannah, who was seated next to ine, and continued, “Thest time Hannah and I yed a five thousand dor game, I think I lost nearly a million dors that day! But Hannah, I believe you won three hundred thousand dors that night, right?”


    Hannah quickly replied, “Oh, Sister Linda! You’re just too wealthy! You can’t even recall how much you lost that night?! It was actually over two million dors! I won about five hundred thousand, but the real star of the night was Gianna!”


    At this moment, Gianna smiled and added, “Oh, I only won a bit more than a million dors that night. For Sister Linda, that’s really not much!”


    Linda smiled back and said, “Honestly, that ‘small’ amount doesn’t faze me at all. My husband makes hundreds of millions each year, so he hardly notices if I lose thirty to fifty million in a mahjong game.”


    ine couldn’t help but feel a rush of excitement at Linda’s words.


    It struck her how naive Linda was!


    Plus, with Hannah as her partner, victory seemed almost guaranteed!


    ine swiftly cast aside her previous doubts and cheerfully said, “Alright then, Sister Linda. Let’s start with one thousand dors.”<fn0dd7> Checktest chapters at FindN0vel</fn0dd7>


    Linda nodded and replied with a grin, “Let’s roll the dice!”


    “Okay!” ine rubbed her hands together in anticipation.


    Once Linda dealt the tiles, she quickly took the lead to begin the game.


    The four yers then started examining their tiles.


    ine felt a surge of excitement at the tiles she had drawn!


    She couldn’t believe her luck!


    All she needed was a tile with three on one side and a twenty thousand tile. If she could draw those, victory would be hers instantly!


    As anticipation built, ine hoped to draw the tile she required.


    However, after several rounds without drawing what she needed, she remembered her agreement with Hannah. She discreetly signaled her friend, requesting a three.


    Hannah picked up on her cue and promptly discarded a three tile.


    “Three!”


    “Oh, I’ll take that!” ine eximed with joy as she imed the tile and then discarded another, saying, “Eight!”


    With a triumphant tone, ine announced, “I have a draw!”


    Linda looked on in surprise, asking, “Oh, Sister ine! You’ve drawn so soon?”


    ine smiled widely and replied, “Yes, it seems I have a fantastic hand today.”


    Linda nodded and said, “Well, let’s hope I don’t end up burning myself.”


    With that, Linda reached out and discarded her tile, eximing, “Twenty thousand!”
