LADBET INTERNATIONAL IS A WORLDWIDE NETWORKED GAMBLING SYNDICATE THAT ACCEPTS SOME OF THE MOST DARING CHALLENGES BETS AND WAGERS IN ANY AMOUNT IN ANY CURRENCY ANYWHERE SUM SLIPS TCKETS WINNINGS SHUI RAZOR CHALLENGE KULO LUNA WILL SINK ANOTHER JAPANESE WHALING SHIP WITHIN THREE 3 MONTHS

Shui Razor cashes in his winning ticket at Ladbet International. Suki Hall is at the presentation ceremony with an official from the company, for this PR shot. The whole world cheer the Japanese rescuer for his bravery, having lost two ships to Kulo-Luna. He still dived into dangerous netting to save Kuna, the baby humpback whale. He jokes that he hopes Kulo-Luna will not sink any more of his vessels. And he has a new respect for humpback whales. John Storm is both amazed and pleased to learn Shui had been betting on Kulo-Luna to win.

In this fictional original John Storm adventure story, LadBet International is a worldwide gambling organization that specializes in taking and offsetting unusual bets, of any amount on just about any sporting or other event that is taking place.

In this case, Shui Razor places a bet, of quite a lump sum for a fisherman of limited means. His bet is quite unusual in that he specifies that the humpback whale known as Kulo-Luna, will sink another whaling boat within less than three to six months.

This is a wager that LadBet is pleased to accept, allowing an extra three months - and when Shui wins that bet, LadBet are more than pleased to pay the Japanese fisherman out on his winning ticket. Congratulating him, and presenting him with a giant cheque.
