Chapter 943: Chapter 748: The Fix Now, in the casino.
Under the wary and cautious eyes of many gamblers at the table, Huai Shi pressed his hole cards, disdainfully raising his eyes to look at his opponent... the floral arrangement on the bar behind him.
"Brother, what cards does he have?"
"Why panic? Just two J’s."
That plum blossom, carefully crafted by the master florist every day, excitedly swayed twice, "One diamond and one heart, can’t beat you! Go for it, go for it!"
"Thanks, brother, I’ll water you later."
"You’re welcome, bro!"
Huai Shi withdrew his gaze, gave a charming smile, and tossed out two crystal chips: "I raise, twenty million!"
"..."
In the suffocating atmosphere, someone finally couldn’t withstand the immense pressure and stood up: "I fold."
Ignoring the chips he had placed on the table, he fled with his meager capital, embarrassed.
"Just like that?"
Amidst the sounds of gasping, Huai Zhisu People, the legendary gambling god, glanced around, revealing a disdainful smile.
So terrifying!
The surrounding gazes became increasingly reverent and apprehensive, only regretfully no one had the courage to shout "This one must not be left!"
This is probably what Dongxia natives often refer to as ’playing dumb to catch the tiger’! To lull his opponents, he didn’t hesitate to lose four million before the game even started! Everyone was deceived by his harmless appearance, not realizing it was all acting!
Deeply scheming, planning as vast as the sea!
No wonder Huaizhi Gang, which rose from Tanbo Inner Circle in just half a month, is truly fearsome!
"So, did I win again?"
Huai Shi looked down, examining the chips in front of him that were nearly drowning him.
Unbelievable.
In fact, even now, this fool still hasn’t figured out the rules of Texas Hold’em, blackjack, and twenty-one, relying entirely on Qi Wen’s reminders and orders, plus Stigma’s auxiliary cheats.
Otherwise, forget playing cards, he’d have lost all his chips long ago.
To this day, Huai Shi still hasn’t figured out what this operation is all about.
He didn’t know why he won, then repeatedly won again, only occasionally losing a bit before immediately doubling back.
Is it really this satisfying to get something for nothing?
Huai Shi himself was shocked.
Even though he knew these chips were mere tokens for one night, unable to redeem anything, he was still so excited that his face was flushed, eager to wave the chips and shout ’once more’.
Look at this group of idiots around him, they don’t use their brains at all, it seems winning is really crucial.
Luck is on my side!
I can still win.
I can win until the end!
Only I am the master here!
A surge of baseless strong confidence and impulse flooded his mind, making Huai Shi’s face flush with excitement as he feverishly caressed the mountain of chips before him.
But when he thought about having to split the money he earned with the greedy woman, his heart suddenly hurt.
Wait, why should I feel heartache?
What’s the difference between these damn nonredeemable tokens and plastic?
In an instant, Huai Shi was jolted awake by the warning in the Book of Fate, his smile froze on his face, dazed where he stood.
What’s going on?
"Hurry up and start the game."
"Hey, come on, got stupid?"
"Huaizhi Gang, if you’re not playing, move aside, don’t make people wait too long!"
The gamblers who had crowded over to sit again impatiently urged him, glaring at this dazed person, even the croupier looked on suspiciously: "Mr. Huaizhi, can we start?"
"..."
In silence, Huai Shi raised his head, looking at the faces filled with frenzy and excitement that he hadn’t noticed before, and after a long while, barely squeezed out a smile.
"Sorry, I’m feeling a bit unwell, you guys go ahead and play."
He stood up, not even wanting to look at the large pile of chips he had just won, and turned to leave.
In this casino that had become inexplicably stuffy, everyone’s faces seemed to be coated with illusory smiles, and nearly solid greed permeated the air, silently boiling and enveloping everything.
Even as more and more people went out of the game, losing every last bit, some even staked their assets for those intangible shares, hoping to exchange for useless chips.
The stakes were also getting higher and higher.
