There were not that many people. A table could fit dozens of people. But there were only three people here. It was a rectangular table. The man sitting at the head had a cigar in his mouth. There were five cards in his hand. He had one foot on a stool, and he looked annoyingly confident. Michael walked up and said calmly, “Do you still need more players?” The small group was originally watching their cards carefully. When they heard Michael’s voice, they immediately raised their heads to look at them. Michael was dressed in a suit. His reserved, elegant aura and his cold features made several people feel that he was not to be trifled with. When they spotted the top-notch beauty standing behind him, the people around them suddenly stared at them understandingly. Two of them even exchanged glances. The leader immediately said, “There are only a few people at this table. Of course, there are seats for you. Are all three of you joining us?” Michael did not say anything. He chos

Five of hearts. The number was right in the middle again.Ivanka did not say anything and raised her hand. She was signaling them to show their cards too.Soon after, they then started to show their cards in clockwise order. The trio on the other end said nothing this time and just flipped their cards over.It was a three and a two respectively. Bert and the man’s other henchman were down for the count. But the moment the man at the head of the table flipped over his card, his eyes lit up. He was snickering with joy in his heart, because he opened a seven. It was a spade too!The man boldly pushed forward another stack of chips worth two hundred thousand dollars. He did not say anything but instead nodded at Michael. Michael ignored it and flipped his cards coldly. A ten! This round, the man’s additional chips went into Michael’s pocket, but the man was upset. “There are three of us and two of you. According to the odds of the cards being dealt out, it’s not fair.”

After saying that, the man placed a five-million-dollar bet before revealing his cards.He refused to believe that Michael and Ivanka could keep riding their streak of good luck!He flipped his cards.A nine of spades.The man raised the stakes by another five million.The seven remaining players only had a one-in-ten chance of beating him. He refused to believe anyone could draw a ten.Feeling confident, he arrogantly said, “Why don’t you both reveal your cards at the same time? Save us some time.”“Aren’t we supposed to go clockwise? Why are we changing the rules now? Can’t we play properly?” The masked man, clearly annoyed by the suggestion, voiced his displeasure.Before revealing his cards, the masked man casually tossed ten-million-dollars’ worth of chips onto the table.The onlookers were stunned.The man at the head of the table had already shown a nine of spades, and yet the masked man raised the bet to ten million before even flipping his cards. Was he just throwing

As soon as the man said those words, the onlookers turned the scene. They seemed more nervous than the three people at the table.However, in truth, the only one feeling nervous was the man.Michael and Ivanka had already won too much. If he lost again, it would not just be a blow to his pride, but his very life could be at risk.Therefore, the man was desperate to turn the tide.In contrast to his anxiousness and desperation, Ivanka and Michael remained calm and composed. Ivanka had already won a significant amount, so losing some of it would not matter. It was all winnings anyway.Michael’s true intentions were far from the game itself. His interest in the outcome of this gamble was secondary to the real reason he was here.However, right now, this game had not yet played out the way he intended.“Iv.”Michael’s sudden call caught Ivanka off guard. However, mindful of the audience, she quickly composed herself and suppressed her emotions. Even the man at the head of the tab

“Haha! Thanks to these two, I finally had a winning streak at Kingzillion Casino!”A voice suddenly erupted from the crowd and interrupted Ivanka’s train of thought.A plump man was waving his chips in the air. However, within seconds, people around him pulled him back.“You must be crazy. Their luck could just as easily turn around. Sure, we’ve won some money thanks to them, but we should quit while we’re ahead. Do you really think they’ll be able to leave Kingzillion Casino with all that cash?”The words hit the man like a cold splash of water and snapped him out of his euphoria.Ivanka, who was standing nearby, heard their conversation clearly despite their attempts to whisper.Soon, the onlookers began to disperse.Soon, the area around the table was almost empty. Only Ivanka, Michael, Evan, and Kingzillion Casino’s men remained.Bert, still seething from the kick Michael had given him and the forced apology by Jackie, made no effort to hide his disdain for Ivanka.
