Perhaps, after all, he doesn't have a thousand years left to live.
He could choose to refuse, but he had reservations. After all, the other party was a mysterious figure. Since they had come to him and were willing to abide by his rules, if he refused, there was no guarantee that the other party wouldn't overturn the table.
Just like with the Wen brothers and Bobby, he had absolute power to force them to follow his rules.
Similarly, the other side may also have such strength.
So he decided to take a gamble; if he won, it would be a thousand years of life!

Chapter 466 Don't be too presumptuous, it won't do any good!
Patrick took out his chips, sat down, and began casting his spell. Looking at the relaxed Su Shi across from him, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He had experienced countless gambles in his more than nine hundred years of life, but this was the first time he had felt nervous.
In the past, he was always a hunter who was confident of victory, using various techniques to defeat his opponents step by step, and he was proud of it.
Now he suddenly realizes that skills are worthless in front of a super-rich person.
Without a solid foundation, how difficult it is to remain calm and composed! No wonder those gamblers in the past fared so poorly when they gambled against me.
The game of comparing card values is very simple. Each person draws a card, and the winner is determined by the card value.
Heaven and hell are separated by only a moment.
There's no way to cheat, so leave it all to fate!
Patrick took a deep breath, casually reached into the deck to select a card to draw, and spoke with a smile.
"Are you sure you're going to decide the winner with a 437 bet? This is a thousand years of life. If you lose, you can't get it back unless you break my witchcraft. Otherwise, even if you kill me, it won't help."
"It doesn't matter, it's only a thousand years. Losing won't cost me much, and if I win, hehe..."
Patrick frowned at Su's nonchalant attitude. He was certain that Su wasn't putting on an act or using any psychological tricks; Su was simply confident and didn't care.
What the hell is this thing? Even a god couldn't possibly have that many lives!
Patrick let out a sigh of relief, pulled out a card, slowly flipped it over, and then smiled smugly.
"Snapped."
The card was flipped over, and there it was—the Joker!
"Out of 54 cards, only one is higher than this; from the remaining 53 cards, the King is drawn..."
Patrick shook his head: "Thank you very much for your generosity. I will accept the thousand years of life."
The Wink brothers, Bobby, Caroline, and Bonnie almost unanimously cursed after seeing Patrick's cards.
Fuck, this is just too damn messed up!
With so many cards, Patrick just happened to draw the Joker. The difficulty of drawing the only King from the remaining cards is unimaginable.
Either they cheated, or they're incredibly lucky.
Cheating is impossible; the only hope is that Su is incredibly lucky, which would give them a chance to turn the tide.
May the force be with you!
(May strength be with you)
Sue suddenly said something in a strange, broken accent, and then extended her right hand toward Caroline.
"Come on, give me a kiss."
Without saying a word, Caroline kissed Sue's hand.
A lucky kiss, right? It's all about the ritual, I get it!
Su smiled and stretched out her hand to Bonnie: "Why don't you have one too? Goddess of Luck, the more the merrier!"
Bonnie smiled and returned the lucky kiss.
"You lost." Su looked at Patrick with certainty, and with her hand blessed with two lucky kisses, she drew a card directly from the deck.
Seeing everyone, including Patrick, nervously staring at their cards, Su suddenly said, "Do you know why I suddenly said 'May the power be with you'? Because the Chinese transliteration of that phrase is: 'Don't be too presumptuous, it's useless!'"
"Snapped!"
Turn your hand around and reveal your card.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on the playing cards.
The surroundings were completely silent; it was as if everyone had stopped breathing.
"Your Majesty! We've won! The Su family has won!" A trembling voice suddenly rang out. This life-or-death choice between heaven and hell in an instant was just too thrilling.
Caroline and Bonnie excitedly rushed to Sue's arms from either side, hugging him and cheering loudly.
The Wen brothers jumped and leaped, and even Bobby waved his arms vigorously.
“No, it’s impossible…this is impossible…” Patrick stared in disbelief at the king on the table.
We lost, we really lost...
"No...no..." Suddenly, Patrick woke up with a start. He had lost. His life was not enough for a thousand years. He...was going to die.
I don't want to die!
Patrick hurriedly staggered to his feet, trying to find a way to break the spell. Although it was difficult, it was his only option.
"Pfft—" Patrick, who had just staggered to his feet, had not taken two steps when he was suddenly pierced through the back by a red fishhook.
Patrick's magic power rapidly drained away. He tried to turn around, but his body ached again as the fishhook left his body. He felt a darkness before his eyes and fell to the ground with a thud.
Patrick is dead?
No, he must have been dizzy, because his appearance didn't seem to have disappeared despite losing a thousand years of life.
"What a loss." Looking at the chakra energy that had been fished out and Patrick who hadn't aged or died, Su Shi curled his lip.
Although the reason and principle are unknown, it is clear that while the fishing just now brought out Patrick's energy, it also interrupted the witchcraft for some reason, leaving the thousand years of life that should have been lost to him in his body.
In other words, Sue obtained Patrick's energy, but the extra thousand years of life she was supposed to gain was lost.
Fortunately, the Su family didn't care about a thousand years of life; they could just take a few high-quality chakra pills.
Although it wasn't money they were gambling with, but their lives, the Su family was still incredibly wealthy!
Su patted the unconscious Patrick, leaving a Flying Thunder God mark, planning to check if his energy had recovered in a while. If it had, he would come back to collect the debt. He could give up a thousand years of life, but he could have some wizard energy.
"Let's go." Su called out, then, full of pride, put her arms around Caroline and Bonnie, looking quite like she had them on either side, and led her 'little brothers' away in a grand and imposing manner.
Not long after they left, a woman of similar age to Patrick came to Patrick's side.
Looking at Patrick, who was unconscious but neither aged nor dead, she sighed with an ambiguous meaning.
She was Patrick's wife and also a witch, and because of Patrick, she also lived a long time.
Longevity and immortality were not good things for her. She witnessed her daughter grow old and die, and the pain made her want to die to escape.
She had thought she was doomed this time, that Patrick had lost, but she never expected this outcome.
After a while, Patrick slowly woke up and was surprised to find that he was not dead, and had not even aged. Just as he was about to excitedly tell his wife, he suddenly realized that his magic had disappeared.
"No..." A desperate and indignant scream rang out.
Heaven and hell are separated by only a moment!

Chapter 467 Bonnie's Magical Power Surges and Her Trials Come to an End
Back at the hotel, after accepting the gratitude and thanks from the Wen brothers and Bobby, Ms. Su took Caroline and Bonnie back to their room.
Sue didn't care much about giving Dean and Bobby twenty-five years of life each. Firstly, he had too much life force; fifty years was nothing to him. Secondly, he would naturally get the corresponding benefits back in the future.
Putting aside everything else, Bobby is experienced, knowledgeable, and well-connected, which alone can provide his subordinates and the gold exchange with a lot of information and business.
As for Dean, needless to say, he's the chosen one. What kind of supernatural creature can't he encounter? Let alone living beings, he can even handle parallel worlds perfectly.
These potential benefits are far more valuable than a fifty-year lifespan.
Of course, the premise is that one's vitality must be as abundant as that of the Su family, which is useless.
Back in their room, Caroline and Bonnie were still caught up in the excitement of the high-stakes gamble. After all, it was a gamble involving a thousand years of life. Even though they knew vampires, they hadn't lived for a thousand years.
Most importantly, the person who made the bet was the Su family, and it was only under the absolute number Ou Hao's possession that the game could be turned around. This situation is absolutely unprecedented and will never be repeated.
Watching the two chatter excitedly about Su's good fortune, what could Su say? She could only say—the lucky kiss worked!
To be honest, with enough chips and a solid foundation, the Su family has no chance of losing!
If he loses once, twice, then he'll just double it. He has the capital to lose countless times. With double the amount, as long as the other party loses once, the Su family can win it all back and even bankrupt him!
"Here, take this." Su handed Bonnie the Chakra Pill she had just refined using the chakra energy of wizard Patrick.
Bonnie froze, pointing to herself: "Give it to me? This...this isn't right, is it? Such a valuable thing, you should give it to..."
Bonnie didn't say anything, but just glanced at Caroline beside her.
Chakra pills are definitely more useful to ninjas, and considering the relationship, they should be given to Caroline.
Su smiled and rubbed Caroline's head, explaining to Bonnie, "I've naturally prepared her chakra pills, so there won't be any shortage. These are wizard chakra pills. Although the chakra might be wasted, they will greatly help improve your magic power. Moreover, the life force contained within them is very strong, and they might even save your life in the future."
“Yes, don’t worry about me, he won’t mistreat me,” Caroline added, trying to reassure me.
Bonnie hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded, gratefully accepted it, and swallowed it.
In an instant, a surge of power welled up within Bonnie, and she could feel her life force reaching its peak.
At the same time, the magic power within her body was also increasing wildly, and a special power also appeared. However, this power went dormant after it appeared. She could sense it, but she couldn't use it.
After a long while, the surging power gradually cooled down and subsided. Bonnie opened her eyes and found that her clothes had been torn apart by the surging power that had just erupted.
