Chapter 163: Chapter 0163: Never Underestimate a Newbie (Part 2)

Once the first hand was dealt, everyone present knew Long Fei’s tactics.

As soon as he bluffed, it surely meant he had a good hand.

Those with weak hands didn’t entangle with him, leaving early to wait for the next round.

He indeed was doing just that, bluffing with strong hands and folding the poor ones.

Win or walk.

After a dozen hands, he had accumulated chips worth hundreds of thousands in front of him.

The cash game wasn’t lucrative, at most one would get the bottom of the pot.

Once he saw the money was enough to repay the debt, he called out to Ma Kui, "Brother Ma Kui, is this money enough to pay back what I owe? How about I stop playing?"

Behind him, Su Laicai regretted, thinking why rush to leave after a few more hands!

He was so addicted just by watching, he wanted to go over and feel the cards.

Ma Kui cleared his throat twice and lifted his wristwatch, saying, "We have a time limit here, to prevent anyone from running after winning. Unless you’re left with not a penny to lose, you can choose to leave. There’s still over an hour, we can all rest then, just hold on for a while."

Long Fei came here specifically to repay Su Laicai’s debts.

He never thought about making money this way.

Earning money too easily can lead to obsession.

But since they wouldn’t let him leave, he played a couple more hands.

Anyway, he now had the capital of hundreds of thousands.

When he got good cards, he could follow through a few rounds.

After the croupier started dealing, he had a quick look at all the cards on the table.

This round, everyone had significant hands.

Two pairs, two straights, three flushes, and he also had a flush – K, J, 5.

He had the strongest hand at the table.

The toughest competitor was the biggest winner of the evening, with K, J, 4!

Fucking hell, just one card short.

Long Fei rubbed his temples, thinking the gods must really want him to win!

Gambling ruins lives, he didn’t want to win money, so he deliberately bluffed, reminding, "Great cards, here comes another great hand."

However, no one at the table paid him any mind.

The previous bettor started to raise the stakes, from one hundred to three thousand.

When it came to him, he even intentionally sighed, "Nobody’s walking away, huh? This is going to be a tough round."

Long Fei followed with three thousand, without raising the bet.

Thinking to himself, he wanted to let others lose less.

The person behind him didn’t see it the same way, holding a straight and two flushes.

They directly raised the chips to ten thousand.

When it was the turn for the two pairs, they touched their heads and chose to fold.

Eight players down to two, leaving two straights and four flushes.

Money went into the pot like paper, continuously added.

The hundred thousand in front of Long Fei was far from enough, soon all of it was in the pot.

Only then did the two straights decide to fold, leaving four flushes.

Seeing a big round about to happen, Ma Kui’s eyes narrowed with excitement.

The more money in the pot, the more he would rake from it.

When it came back to Long Fei’s turn, he was out of cash in his pockets.

The others urged, "You still following or not?"

Long Fei glanced at Ma Kui and reluctantly said, "Brother Ma Kui, looks like I’ll have to borrow some money from you."

Ma Kui grinned, "Sure, our loans are the simplest around. How much do you need? I’ll have someone get it for you right away!"

Long Fei looked around the table and said, "It seems this round won’t end without a million."

Ma Kui was very generous; regardless of what he expected from Long Fei or whether Long Fei could repay it, he had someone bring him a million in chips.

The loan agreement was prepared in advance, all Long Fei had to do was sign his name.

The reason stated wasn’t for gambling.

It was for a business shortfall, thus needing a loan with a very high-interest rate; Long Fei didn’t even bother to look at it.

A hundred chips worth ten thousand each, the sight of which was tempting.

Long Fei boldly raised to a hundred thousand, wanting to drive the others away, to minimize their losses.

Who knew these people were all out of their minds.

He continued with 100,000 yuan.

Long Fei was momentarily stunned but could only continue to throw in more money.

After investing 500,000 yuan, the two players with small flushes exchanged glances and reluctantly chose to fold.

If Long Fei hadn’t been there, they might have continued.

But now, their wallets were empty.

The two of them dejectedly watched the game, eager to see what cards Long Fei and his opponent actually held.

Long Fei’s adversary remained calm.

Puffing on his cigar, he said indifferently, "Kid, I advise you to give up early! You’ve lost enough, you can’t afford to lose more!"

Similarly composed, Long Fei responded, "Big brother, I’d also advise you to give up early!"

That man had won money tonight, but only about 500,000 to 600,000 yuan remained.

He did have money in his bank account, but he wasn’t willing to take such a risk.

He suggested, "How about this, we each throw in another 500,000 yuan? Whoever loses, that’s that."

"Agreed!"

Long Fei nodded. He hadn’t planned on entangling with him anyway.

Both of them threw in 500,000 yuan, and the pot, now piled up like a small mountain with more than 5 million yuan, was a sight to behold.

The opponent showed his hand first, a suited KJ4.

Everyone at the table gasped, "Big, indeed very big!"

The two who had folded their small flushes felt completely satisfied, silently praising themselves for their timely escape.

Everyone turned to Long Fei, thinking the kid was about to lose miserably, daring to come here as a rookie.

Su Laicai’s face turned ashen with fear. Originally, he was supposed to exchange 100,000 yuan, but now he was directly in debt for 1 million.

If lost, he would flee immediately, and from then on, he would keep his daughter away from Long Fei.

Long Fei crushed out his cigarette butt and flipped his poker cards with a calm voice, "Sorry, just one card bigger than yours!"

"K, J, 5!"

Upon seeing the cards, everyone shouted in amazement, expressing sympathy for Long Fei’s opponent.

Just one card short, and more than 5 million yuan gone just like that.

Su Laicai knelt on the ground and cried out, "Oh my god, more than 5 million yuan! We won, we actually won!"

His heart was pounding out of his chest, and he pounded the ground with his fists as if he had won the money himself.

Long Fei’s opponent was gracious, not showing any dejection.

He looked at Long Fei with interest, shook his head, and chuckled, "It seems I underestimated you. You’re much more capable than I thought, rookie."

Throughout the entire game, he never saw Long Fei get nervous.

"Just luck!"

Long Fei exhaled in relief; indeed, he had been rather nervous inside.

At these gambling tables, some people might cheat.

He could read the cards, but he couldn’t switch them.

If someone had cheated, he would have been in trouble this time.

Fortunately, Ma Kui didn’t lie; this casino was relatively clean.

Ma Kui was happy no matter who won the money.

They had gambled all night, and it was rare to see such a big hand.

Just from this round, he would take a commission of over 500,000 yuan.

Long Fei asked him to count the money. He paid back the 1 million yuan he owed, along with the commission of over 500,000 yuan and Su Laicai’s debt of around 100,000 yuan.

In the end, he netted a clean 3.5 million yuan.

This sum was the largest amount Long Fei had earned so far.

Ma Kui had someone pack the cash into a briefcase, tore up the IOU on the spot, and laughing heartily at him, "Brother Long, you really are lucky, winning every hand. 1 million yuan, and I won’t even charge you interest. Do come to support us more often, I welcome you, my brother!"

"Got it!"

Long Fei smiled perfunctorily, thinking it would be better to avoid such places in the future.

He had a legitimate job; there was no need for such side hustles.

Su Laicai eagerly carried the briefcase of money for him, as if he couldn’t wait to marry his daughter to Long Fei.

The two of them left, and had only walked a few steps when someone suddenly called out, "Kid, wait a moment!"

Long Fei and Su Laicai turned around. The caller was the opponent from before.

The man was dressed in a suit, with two strong men following him, which frightened Su Laicai so much that he subconsciously clutched the briefcase closer.
