Chapter 284: Chapter 262: Sorry, I Won
Brother Ze looked at Li Chen in front of him; he hadn’t encountered such an opponent in a long time and was determined to have a showdown with him!
The last time he felt this surge of adrenaline was during a duel with the Australian Gambling King, three years ago. For three years, he had rarely met his match, but now, after three years, he had met another expert. His gambling spirit was revived!
However, Li Chen sized up Brother Ze and simply shook his head, "No bet!"
The crowd, who had been anticipating the challenge, almost fell over in shock, and Brother Ze was also stunned. Li Chen remained calm, joking. "Just because you want to gamble doesn’t mean I have to, right? Wouldn’t that be embarrassing for me?"
"Tell me, what conditions do you need to agree to gamble with me?" Brother Ze was still persistent, "I must gamble with you. Name your price, or is there something else you want?"
Zhou Shaoyu, standing behind, admired Li Chen even more. It was amazing; the seasoned gamblers were begging Li Chen to gamble. Who had seen such a scene before? They were even offering money for Li Chen to join the gamble.
Li Chen, who had intended to leave, suddenly turned around, speaking with a playful tone, "Alright, how much are you offering to gamble with me?"
"Ten million, is that enough?" Brother Ze’s lips curled up slightly. Over the years, he had battled in nearly five hundred gambling houses, winning so much money he couldn’t keep count.
The people around were stunned—damn, that was a lot of money! Even Zhou Shaoyu was dumbfounded, ten million just like that?
Li Chen, moved by Brother Ze’s persistent gaze, felt a sense of kinship, as it reminded him of his younger self.
Alright, I’m moved again, and Li Chen nodded, "Alright, what do you want to gamble?"
Seeing that Li Chen had agreed, the crowd around grew excited—this was a showdown between gambling gods.
"Texas Hold’em, of course."
A confident smile appeared on Brother Ze’s face. On the Texas Hold’em table, no one had beaten him yet.
Thus, the two sat down at the gambling table, and a dealer came over, ready to start dealing the cards.
Texas Hold’em is actually the most popular game in casinos, not only testing luck, calmness, analytical ability, but also a person’s guts. The rules are simple: initially, two cards are dealt, one face down, and players bet based on the face-up card. Others decide whether to match the bet or not, followed by additional cards dealt until five in total. Finally, all players decide whether to raise or fold.
These five cards, the highest is a straight flush, then four of a kind, which is four identical cards plus one other card. What follows is a full house, flush, straight, three of a kind, two pair, and one pair.
Of course, in Texas Hold’em, it isn’t just about having the highest card because only you know your hidden card. If you have a high card hand, but can bluff your opponents with your confidence, you can still win, testing your courage and nerve.
"Let’s just make it a single game to decide the winner." Li Chen smiled slightly, looking at the cards dealt to him—an Ace of spades—and the opponent also received an Ace but of diamonds.
"All in."
Having said that, Li Chen pushed all his chips forward. Everyone around him was stunned—damn, who gambles like this, betting all in when three cards weren’t even dealt yet.
Brother Ze was also taken aback, his lips curling slightly—interesting, really interesting.
"Call."
After speaking, Brother Ze also pushed his chips forward, and then the dealer continued to deal cards.
The people around were holding their breath, watching the dealing. The next two cards for Li Chen were a 10 and a J, and for Brother Ze, a K and a Q. Then another hidden card was dealt, completing the five cards.
The critical moment had arrived, and everyone watched breathlessly. On the surface, Li Chen had a 10, J, A, and all were spades. If the next two cards were Q and K, it could be said that Li Chen’s hand was very strong.
However, in terms of suits, Li Chen’s cards were not all spades, only the Ace was spades; the J and 10 were not because in Texas Hold’em, spades are higher than hearts, which are higher than clubs, which are higher than diamonds. If the cards are the same, then spades are the highest.
Brother Ze’s visible cards were Q, K, A, but the hidden card was unknown.
Li Chen looked at Brother Ze, and Brother Ze looked back, both wearing smiles. At this point, it seemed entirely a matter of luck.
Normally, Texas Hold’em can be played for a long time, you can keep folding until you think you have a good hand, thus only losing the basic chips, but going all in—it’s a test of character.
Brother Ze was the first to flip a hidden card, revealing a 10. Now, if the remaining hidden card was a J, it would be a straight.
On Li Chen’s side, he also flipped a hidden card, revealing a King of spades. If there was one more Q, it would also be a straight.
"These two guys’ hands are similar."
"Yes, but it seems Brother Ze doesn’t have the advantage in suits."
Brother Ze still maintained a calm smile. Up until this point, neither he nor Li Chen had looked at their hidden cards. You could say this was entirely a matter of character, yet in reality, it was not. This hand, he was absolutely confident.
"I’ll start." Li Chen smiled slightly, flipping over the remaining card. Everyone held their breath and when they saw Li Chen’s card, they gasped—it was indeed a Q, a straight!
When Brother Ze saw the card, his pupils suddenly shrank. How was that possible? The card he had seen clearly wasn’t a Q but an A.
Looking at Li Chen, his gaze became a bit frantic. Brother Ze could see through cards, that was his ultimate secret, but unexpectedly, the card he saw just now as one of the opponent’s hidden cards was a K, which had now changed to a Q.
Li Chen’s expression remained unchanged, smiling lightly, "You’ve lost."
As these words came out, the crowd burst into exclamations. Brother Ze’s hidden card hadn’t been revealed yet, but Li Chen didn’t need to see it to know. The opponent’s hidden card was an A, just a pair, but seeing that Li Chen also had a pair of Ks led to a misjudgment.
Seeing through cards was a trick Li Chen could also perform. By circulating True Qi, Li Chen could also do it, and he could cover his cards with his True Qi so the opponent couldn’t see his hidden card.
In fact, during the game, Li Chen had noticed that Brother Ze’s eyes were particularly bright, even emitting a faint trace of something like True Qi energy, which made Li Chen cautious, so he took precautions.
"Brother Ze’s cards haven’t been revealed yet," Yang Feng couldn’t help but blurt out.
"I lost," Brother Ze fell silent for a while before speaking, then looked up at Li Chen, "You’re very impressive."
"You flatter me."
"However, that isn’t my only strong suit, do you dare to compete in other games with me?" Brother Ze said.
Li Chen looked troubled, "It is possible, but about that, we agreed earlier, this..."
Yang Feng couldn’t help but throw a disdainful glance, pissed off, you really are after the money?
"Sure, tell me your account, and I’ll have someone transfer the money now."
"Thank you very much."
Li Chen chuckled, making ten million effortlessly—although not a lot, it could at least be pocket money.
Thus, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the two continued to gamble on a wide range of games, from arcade machines to other kinds, but the outcome was invariably the same.
Russian Roulette, Li Chen won.
Poker, Li Chen won.
********, Li Chen won.
...
After more than ten rounds, Brother Ze’s forehead had started to sweat, and the looks from the people around Li Chen were as if they were seeing an alien. Was this guy even human?
Yes, it was too unbelievable. Li Chen won every time, even the Russian Roulette round Li Chen was supposed to lose but the wheel shifted slightly, landing on the number Li Chen had bet on. Could there be a divine presence intervening?
Just then, a round of applause sounded, and everyone turned to see a woman in a cheongsam slowly walking over.
"Impressive, impressive, your gambling skills are extraordinary; even I am tempted to have a wager with you," she said.
Seeing the heavily made-up woman in a red cheongsam, the onlookers drew a sharp breath. Wasn’t she from the Situ Family? In terms of gambling, they were masters.
Upon seeing the woman, Brother Ze consciously stepped back because the woman in front of him held a much higher status!
Li Chen looked at the woman, his expression unchanged, but his eyes swiftly scanned her. Hmm, not bad, visually estimated 36E, nice butt, doggy style should be good, great legs, about five foot seven, chestnut wavy hair, red lips, such a stunning woman. Bro, I give 89 points, she is indeed a beauty.
"Sure, I love gambling with beautiful women," Li Chen said with a smile, "This time I won’t take your money."
The crowd chuckled upon hearing this, as Brother Ze had just spent ten million to gamble with Li Chen.
With a faint smile, the woman said, "But, it’s not just me, I’m inviting you to join a gambling event."
A gambling event?
The crowd was initially stunned, but then they understood as they saw the center of the casino already had two people seated, with two more seats vacant.
Taking a glance, Li Chen nodded nonchalantly, "Sure, let’s go."
This was going to be good, the crowd hurriedly followed, today’s main event had arrived.
Li Chen settled down and assessed the other two players, an elderly man with white hair, a middle-aged man, and the enchanting woman.
"This time, we’re playing Mahjong," the enchanting woman said with a slight smile.
After the woman explained the rules, Li Chen smiled, "Okay, let’s start."
Straightaway, they began dealing the Mahjong tiles, quickly arranging them followed by rolling the dice and drawing the tiles.
Everyone watched as Li Chen started off as the dealer.
"This round will be exciting, it’s going to take a long time."
"Yeah, everyone here is an expert."
However, no sooner had Li Chen drawn his tiles than he looked up with a slight smile at the three in front of him, "Sorry, I won."
What?
Won?
The enchanting woman was startled, so were the elderly man and the middle-aged man as they looked at Li Chen’s tiles, completely dumbfounded.
Four Winds with two Red Dragons!
Big Four Winds, Heavenly Hand, accumulating a total of one hundred and eight points!
