The area was quiet for some seconds. Everyone could not imagine what they’re seeing.

“He’s correct!” someone murmured.

Immediately, the crowd woke up from their stupor. The place turned into an uproar. They were asking ‘How’. They looked at Emma with a new look. Meanwhile, Mr. Coke could not believe what just happen. He trembled. He looked at Emma with hatred.

Meanwhile, Emma looked at Mr. Coke with proudness. He ignored his hateful gaze.

“Mr. Coke. I believe I have won. Where is my reward?”

Hearing this, Coke tried to hide his raging heart. He took a deep breath.

“Congratulation. You’ve won $500.” Coke put on his best fake smile while his heart was bleeding. But he won’t let him go without regaining their loss.

“Will you continue playing? The next round would be thrice the reward of the current prize”

Emma furrowed, pretending. ‘Of course, am going all out.’

Emma turned to the crowd. The crowd had doubled their previous population. They now filled the area to the brim with people.

“Do you want me to continue?”

Hearing this, the people shouted. After a while, Emma raised his hand.

“Ok, I have heard. I will follow your decision and continue.” Emma nodded.

Hearing this, some of the crowd was bitter, while some were happy. They wanted to see more. However, the happiest person among them all was Mr. Coke. He was jumping in jubilation in his mind.

“Good! Your next game is spinning. When the three spins matched each other, you won. Simple, right?” Coke said in one breath. He feared Emma changing his mind.

“Ok. Before we start. Let me see the demo.” Emma asked.

[You’re getting smarter each day.]

“I’ve got an excellent teacher.”

[Of course, you did.]

“No problem.” Coke nodded.

Three appeared on the screen. After a few seconds, they began to spin. Shortly they stopped. Emma looked at the screen with seriousness. Shortly, Emma’s face descended into a smile. He had understood the basic math behind the spinning mechanism. He looked at Mr. Coke.

[Have you understood the underlying logic?”

“Yes. The speed of the spin is different. I will calculate the speed of the spin. Also, I will calculate the probability of the item of the spin. There are thirteen items on the spin. So 1 out of 13.”

[You’re correct.]

“I’m ready.”

“Good! Start”

The three spin rolled on the screen. Meanwhile, all the crowd held their breath. Only one question was ringing in their mind. Can he perform any miracle again? However, Coke was looking at Emma with disdain. ‘Let see how you’re going to win this round.’

“Stop!” Emma shouts suddenly.

The spinner on the screen stopped moving fast. All eyes were on the screen. The first spin stopped with a $ sign. While the second spinner began to stop slowly. And behold, it stopped at the $ sign. Seeing this, the heart of everyone looking at the screen raced. ‘Will he make another surprise?’

Lastly, the spinner stopped slightly with an image of trees. Seeing this, the crowd sighed. How unfortunate. They thought. Meanwhile, Mr. Coke was brimming with a smile.

‘Finally’

Suddenly, the unexpected happened. The last spinner moves again. Hmm! It baffled the people. What! Has it not stopped? With the last move of the spinner, the spinner rolled to the $ sign.

En! What!

The crowd was in an uproar. The people jumped in jubilation like they had won something tangible. While some people could still not believe what they were seeing. Is it really possible?

Mr. Coke dazed. He blinked his eyes twice. He walked closer to the projected and check if his eyes were not deceiving him. After a while, he realized that everything was real. He stumped his foot on the ground. “How is this possible?” He shouted in fury.

Emma breathes a sigh of relief. He thought his calculation was wrong. But now, he realized that was how the game was programmed to put the user in suspense.

[That was close. Your probability of failure was over 50%. But you manage to turn everything around.]

“Yea! It was close.” His heart could not stop racing when he saw the spinner spinning.

Emma turned to Mr. Coke after regaining his bearing. “Mr. Coke. I believe the lady’s luck is on my side again. I won.” He grinned.

Seeing Emma’s expression. Mr. Coke wanted to cry, but there were no tears in his eyes. He took a deep breath, controlling his breathing. ‘As long as he continued to play. There is a chance of regaining what I lost.’ He thought.

“Yea. You’re such a dam lucky bastard.” Mr. Coke joked. “But I guess you’re not satisfied with that winning. Because there are still many rewards that still wanted to be claimed.

Emma smiled. “Sure. How much is my earning now?”

“$2000” Mr. Coker had a bitter smile on his face. His heart was dripping in blood.

All the workers under Mr. Coker understood that expression. Their leader was already bleeding with that smile. Most of the workers were happy for his misfortune. Mr. Coker was a shrewd and nasty person. So no one felt any pity for him. Every worker was already imagined what Mr. Coke would face when they reach the office. The higher up didn’t want to incur any loss. No matter how little it was.

Hearing the amount, Emma frown. “That’s too small. This’s just a waste of time. I’ll be going.” Emma pretended.

Hearing that $2000 was small. The crowd furrowed. They look at Emma in a puzzle. Meanwhile, Mr. Coker was already sweating bucket. He rushed toward Emma. “That just the preliminary stage. Next, you will be able to win something huge. Such as the Elementor phone, High-grade Origin Bracelet. You can even win up to $100,000. So there are so many things you can win from our house.” Mr. Coke tried to convince Emma.

Seeing Coke’s gaze. ‘This my is greedier than I thought. And I like a greedy man.’ Emma smile. “Mr. Coke, I like you. So I will continue until there is nothing left to play. Do you agree?”

Mr. Coke smiled. ‘Finally, he fell into my trap.’

“I agree!”
