Chapter 741

Caleb couldn't help but be amused, silently thinking to himself, "Well, don't blame me then."

Having been sat at the table, Caleb began to wait for the cards dealt into his hands. The sound of the cards shuffling made his body jittery in excitement.

He hadn't played Blackjack for more than ten days, and he had missed this particular sound that soothed him like it was in his nature.

Having seen Caleb staring at the table as he waited for his cards to be dealt, the old lady paused and smiled.

"I can tell that you're not one to gamble, so you must not know the rules. I'll teach you.

"You can check your cards and cover them with both your hands so no one else will see them. Then, you can either hit, stand, split, double down, or surrender. But you can only surrender as a first action after the cards are dealt..."

Eventually, the old lady finished up her explanation and said, "If you want to win, you have to keep an eye on the dealer's cards. Make sure that you hit as close to the number 21, and hit it higher than the dealer's if you can.

"Alright. I've taught you everything there is now, so don't blame me if you lose later on."

The old lady began to work on her cards as she taught Caleb, shedding off all responsibility in case Caleb were to lose big time.

However, Caleb only smiled and said, "You shouldn't blame me if I win then. After all, you've taught me all of your skills."
