Not one more, not one less, exactly a thousand.
But when Flossie Wright suddenly stopped, the others were even more baffled. They were winning, there was potential for a large profit if they kept going, why would she suddenly stop?

"Hey, you’re leaving now?"
"Is there a trick to this?"
"Miss, are you interested in cooperating? I’ll provide the money, you provide the skill and we split the profits fifty-fifty."
Flossie, who had completed her task and planned to leave, was just about to leave with the little boy when the crowd surged forward, unwilling to let her go. With dollar signs in their eyes, they viewed her as a cash cow. They all tried to win her over, even just to glean some of her strategy.
Having finally seen a pro, who would just let her walk away?
And with the sudden crowd gathering, the little boy was squeezed until he had no room to stand. If it weren’t for Flossie holding him, he would definitely have been pushed to the edge of the crowd.
"Make way."
Having taken all the greed in her stride, Flossie’s expression cooled instantly. Her seemingly calm words carried a quiet warning that rapidly disseminated.
The crowd around her felt a chill run down their backs, gradually quieting down.
They had been just a little too greedy, trying to rub shoulders with Flossie without considering her wishes. After she spoke up, they suddenly realized the danger and backed off, opening a path for Flossie.
Flossie looked down to see how the little boy was coping. Seeing him not panicking or crying, she swept a cold gaze around her, then took the boy’s hand and left the crowd.
However, there are always those in the world who don’t know when to quit.
Two burly men who had been watching Flossie from the start blocked her path. Their eyes were focused on her the entire time. They were the ones who had asked to cooperate with Flossie. Seeing their prize about to slip away, they stepped in, clearly intending to detain her by force.
Such a skilled player could ensure their prosperity if they could strike a deal. Why not give it a shot?
"How about it? Join us, we provide the money for you to play, losses are on us, profits will be split fifty-fifty." One of the strong men said to Flossie, raising his fist with a vicious smile on his face, after confidently stating his proposal. "Of course, if you refuse, you both might suffer a loss right here."
Cajoling and coercing at the same time; if she cooperated, it could be beneficial for both parties. But if she didn’t, they’d resort to violence.
The surrounding spectators were taken aback, surprised at the audacity.
People can really be this shameless?
Seeing the two tough men, the boy’s face immediately became cautious and he worriedly looked up. He wanted to see Flossie’s reaction, but he was met with a hand on his cap blocking his view. Flossie curtly pushed his cap, obscuring his vision.
She was still holding his hand, but he could clearly hear the noises coming from next to him, including the screams from the two hulking men. Throughout the whole process, the boy tightly gripped Flossie’s hand, afraid that she would be in danger.
