Chapter 446: Chapter 446: Add a Bet of Five Hundred Thousand

Texas hold’em, originating from Beihai Country, is a globally popular poker game.

Poker requires at least 2 players at a table and can accommodate up to 22, similar to Haogang’s "SuoHa" but even more fun and thrilling!

Because in Texas hold’em, a total of seven cards are dealt, two more than in SuoHa, and one more hidden card. This increases the unpredictability of the game, making the outcome even more mysterious and difficult to guess the opponent’s hand.

Ye Xuan and Jia Mingliang were naturally clear about the rules of Texas hold’em. As soon as the chips hit the table, they started the duel.

The first round.

The croupier began dealing the cards.

The first two cards were hole cards, covered on the table, visible only to the cardholder. They wouldn’t be revealed until the showdown!

Ye Xuan lifted a corner of his hole cards, quickly glanced at them, and saw they were the club nine and diamond five.

Then, Ye Xuan activated his x-ray vision and discovered Jia Mingliang’s hole cards, which were the heart king and spade queen, better than his.

Jia Mingliang’s hands firmly covered his hole cards while he looked at Ye Xuan and sneered coldly.

However, he was completely unaware that Ye Xuan had already clearly seen his cards!

The croupier dealt the cards again.

The next three cards Ye Xuan received were the spade five, heart three, and club jack.

These weren’t hole cards anymore. Jia Mingliang’s cards were laid out on the table, revealing a heart queen, diamond ten, and club jack.

From the current situation, it was clear that Jia Mingliang had the stronger hand as he could make a pair of queens—an impressive pair! Although Ye Xuan also had a pair, it was only a pair of fives, significantly smaller than his opponent’s.

"I’ll raise fifty thousand!"

Jia Mingliang smiled slightly, satisfied with his hand and raised by fifty thousand directly.

He wanted to raise more, but feared scaring Ye Xuan away. If Ye Xuan folded, he wouldn’t be able to win any money.

However, Ye Xuan had seen through the game from the moment he received his hole cards. He knew he wouldn’t win and continued to the second round only as a distraction.

When Jia Mingliang announced the fifty thousand raise, Ye Xuan indeed folded!

In the first round, Ye Xuan lost twenty thousand in chips.

During the next three rounds, Ye Xuan was unlucky, consistently receiving weaker hands than Jia Mingliang and promptly folding them.

It wasn’t his fault; rather, Jia Mingliang was just too lucky, consistently drawing strong cards while Ye Xuan always got the weaker ones, forcing him to fold.

"Gosh, this kid is too timid! He folds every time in the second round; why can’t he hold out until the end?"

"They thought it would be a fierce battle! But it turned out to be a one-sided game, suppressed and dominated. This game is just too boring!"

"Remember, Jia Mingliang is known as the ’Little Gambling King of Jianghai.’ No one can beat him at the gambling table. Looking at it now, it’s definitely a show of overwhelming strength!"

"Ha ha, with this kid’s temperament, and he said he would leave Jia Mingliang penniless, I see he’s almost the one losing his pants!"

"Daring to challenge the Little Gambling King of Jianghai is downright suicide! Long live the mighty Gambling King..."

"Acting tough but screwing himself over..."

The crowd in the hall, watching the live broadcast on the big screen, saw clearly what was happening inside the third floor’s casino.

They felt humiliated by Ye Xuan’s timid folding and scoffed continuously, convinced that Ye Xuan had surely lost this Texas hold’em duel.

...

Inside the casino.

At that moment, Jia Mingliang was extremely frustrated. Every time he drew good cards, wanting to decisively defeat his opponent for a big win,

however, that guy was slippery like an eel, throwing away his cards every time, nearly always leaving Jia Mingliang hitting air. This feeling was like accidentally swallowing a fly—extremely unpleasant and stifling.

"Kid, are you still a man? You act like a scared turtle just like a woman every time, you coward. Are you brave enough to have a real fight with me?"

Jia Mingliang looked across at Ye Xuan, his face showing a sneer. He wanted to provoke Ye Xuan into a direct confrontation!

"What’s the rush? Are you hurrying to be reincarnated? I’m not even anxious. I’ll make my move when it’s time."

Ye Xuan’s face was as calm as an ancient well.

He remained completely unmoved by Jia Mingliang’s provocation.

"I..."

Jia Mingliang felt stifled, as if he had punched cotton, totally powerless, almost suffocating with frustration.

The Emperor isn’t anxious, yet the eunuch is!

Ye Xuan was completely at ease; however, Murong Wanwan beside him was losing her patience. She clutched Ye Xuan’s sleeve and said,

"Ye Xuan, are you capable or not? Why do you keep holding back?"

Murong Wanwan’s pretty face was filled with anxiety; even she didn’t understand why she felt so agitated.

It shouldn’t have concerned her. In fact, she should have hoped that this villain would lose everything! That way, she could have her revenge and never have to see this repeatedly abusive man!

However, the reality was quite the opposite. She didn’t want Ye Xuan to lose, as if she would lose something precious otherwise.

Slap!

Ye Xuan swung his hand and smacked Murong Wanwan’s bottom, fiercely saying, "Kiddo, a man should never be said to be incapable! Don’t ever say that again."

Murong Wanwan gritted her teeth, cursing inwardly, "Big pervert, big bad guy, hitting my butt again, I’ll never be able to face people again!"

"Wanwan, Maid, quickly bring me a Fiery Flame cocktail! Brother is going to wreak havoc!"

Ye Xuan’s lips curled up, his spirits high as he instructed Murong Wanwan.

"Hmph, get it yourself if you want a drink. I’m not going!"

Murong Wanwan pouted, her voice soft.

Ye Xuan’s words sounded odd to her, as if they had some other hidden meanings!

Moreover, she had promised the Queen not to be this guy’s maid anymore. Getting a drink for Ye Xuan would mean acknowledging her status as a maid. She wouldn’t do it!

"Uh? You won’t go?"

Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed, his lips curling into a mischievous smile, like a hungry wolf eyeing its prey, his face hinting at malintent.

"I... I’ll go..."

Seeing Ye Xuan’s look, Murong Wanwan almost reflexively agreed.

After agreeing, she regretted it. But under his intimidatory glamour, she could only pout and obediently fetch Ye Xuan a Fiery Flame cocktail.

"Not bad, this is what my good maid does!"

Ye Xuan grinned as he took the cocktail, then tilted his head back and gulped it down in one go.

Seeing this, Jia Mingliang’s face darkened terrifyingly. He swore that once he had Murong Wanwan in his grasp, he would make her his Maid... No! His slave, to command and entertain himself!

"Refreshing!"

Setting down the glass, Ye Xuan casually wiped his mouth and boldly said to Jia Mingliang, "Young Master Jia, playing small isn’t fun at all! Are you brave enough to play a big game with me?"

Hearing this, Jia Mingliang’s heart leapt with joy, and he quickly replied, "Why not? Just say the word!"

He was waiting for Ye Xuan to fall into his trap. Playing big, the opponent was walking right into his plans.

"This round, raise the bet by half a million!"

Ye Xuan smiled lightly and directly pushed a pile of chips forward, raising the stakes by half a million in the second round.
