Chapter 543: Pulled a Fast One (Part One)
After losing the money, Young Master Lee leaned towards Yan Jingfan and whispered into his ears, “What the fack is this? How many more cards do you have that are right?”
“You think I’m a robot and can just playback what I just saw? Such a person hasn’t been born yet. I can only guarantee maybe a few more cards that are right, and I don’t know how much more luck he has. Hopefully, we don’t lose too much money.”
Hopefully not lose too much?
Young Master Lee’s eyelids jumped.
Why the fack is this guy changing up so fast? It went from “we can win at least a couple billion” to “hopefully we don’t lose too much” real fast!
This madafaka! If it wasn’t because the competition had to go on, he really wanted to get his bodyguard to toss this guy into the ocean to feed the sharks.
17th card.
Yan Jingfan continued to be wrong, and Xu Cheng continued to be right.
The dealer: “Young Master Lee, a hundred million please.”
18th card.
Yan Jingfan continued to be wrong, and Xu Cheng continued to be right.
The dealer: “Young Master Lee, a hundred million please.”
19th card.
The dealer: “Young Master Lee, a hundred million please.”
Young Master Lee didn’t even know how he was getting this money stripped from him slice by slice, and his heart just sunk and his mind went blank as he heard the “a hundred million please” ringing over and over and over.
“Young Master Lee, a hundred million please.”
“Young Master Lee, Mr. Xu is right again.”
“Young Master Lee, what are you waiting for? One hundred million please.”
“Young Master Lee...” At last, on the 51st card, before the dealer could even finish, Young Master Lee began shouting as if he had gone insane, “Don’t make me give him any more money! No!”
The dealer: “But you got it wrong and Mr. Xu got it right. Please follow the rules, or it will take a toll on your credibility in the future.”
Young Master Lee looked at the 3.6 billion that he had already tossed into the pool that was going towards Xu Cheng, and he felt like crying but had no tears left. His whole face went pale as he weakly said, “I don’t have much to lose anymore...”
And on the side, Yan Jingfan pulled on his hair as he directly squatted down. He didn’t even dare to look at the results anymore. He was already numb and in pure disbelief as he listened to the dealer unveil card after card. Since the 16th card, each card after that was like a big slap on his face, it hurts!
In the end, the difficulty of being able to accurately remember all the cards in such a short period of time made everyone at the scene shocked and amazed by Xu Cheng’s skills. The crowd was filled with praises and exclamation.
Yan Jingfan thought he should’ve been the one getting this kind of reaction from the crowd, but now, the protagonist was Xu Cheng.
It was just at the 51st card, Yan Jingfan finally couldn’t take this kind fo torture anymore.
He suddenly stood up from the ground and yelled as he pointed at the last card, “The last card, if you get it right again, I will choose to die!”
“Then you can go do just that now,” Xu Cheng said with a faint smile.
Yan Jingfan finally realized that he just said something very idiotic.
If the first 51 cards were right, how could the last one not be?
He saw all the spectators around them look at him like they were looking at a r—-d and laughed.
In fact, when the first 51 cards were right, you really didn’t have to check the last card anymore.
Yan Jingfan just cared too much about Xu Cheng’s perfect round that he forgot about this important piece of logic, and as a result, he became the laughing stock of the entire casino.
The dealer looked over at Young Master Lee, and Young Master Lee looked as if his heart had already died as he took out another hundred million and tossed it over.
When he was about to grab Yan Jingfan’s collar and beat the crap out of him, the dealer couldn’t help but call him again, “Young Master Lee, did you forget something?”
“What else do you want?” Young Master Lee could hardly contain his anger.
At this time, Xu Cheng nonchalantly chipped in, “If all cards were guessed correctly, the loser has to throw in another billion.”
Chapter 543: Pulled a Fast One (Part Two)
Young Master Lee’s face directly changed as he fell on his azz onto the ground.
3.7 billion! Plus another billion!
4.7 billion! In a game where they thought they could win back some of the money they lost, they actually ended up losing another 4.7 billion! Plus the 4 billion he lost already...
Young Master Lee had lost a total of 8.7 billion already!
At this point, the rich people at the table that lent him 500 million were all scared that he wouldn’t have the money to pay them back later and said to him, “Young Master Lee, since you still haven’t lost our money yet, please give it back to us. We decided that we will not lend you our money anymore.”
This was really like adding a gallon of oil into a big fire, giving another smack in Young Master Lee’s face.
“No!” Young Master Lee stood up like a maniac and shouted, “I haven’t lost yet! I can keep on going!”
He pulled up the Yan Jingfan that had already lost his soul and said, “Continue gambling! We still have 1.3 billion of cash!”
Those three tycoons immediately said to the staff, “Take out the 500 million we lent to him.”
The staff at the casino nodded and said, “Yes, Sir.”
“No!” Young Master Lee went over and dragged onto those three Middle-Eastern tycoons’ hands and said, “Don’t be in a rush to pull back the money, I can still win!”
“Your pro already lost 8.7 billion, what do you have to win it back?” Someone at the scene immediately mocked.
That comment made Yan Jingfan not be able to raise his head anymore.
“He’s cheating!” Gathering all the courage left, his body shivered as he pointed at Xu Cheng and said in a trembling voice, “Who’s able to remember all 52 cards in just under 20 seconds? Do you guys believe it?”
Just then, Haber broke the silence. “I do.”
Then, he looked at the crowd and said, “This friend of mine, not even long ago, he went to Las Vegas with one billion and came out with 4.8 billion! During the whole process, he didn’t even lose a single round!”
Yan Jingfan’s eyes opened wide as he looked towards Xu Cheng. “No! Impossible! I’ve never seen you before! I know all the international-stage pros, you are definitely not at that level!”
Xu Cheng laughed. “Didn’t I tell you? Some people prefer to stay low profile, while some people want the whole world to know about them. But, even if you want to be high-profile, don’t just assume you are at the top of the pyramid. When someone doesn’t want to compete with you for some title, it doesn’t mean there’s no one out there better than you. They just don’t want to compete. Just like in nature’s food chain, the carnivores shouldn’t look down on herbivores. Maybe one day, when the herbivores fight back, you will stand no chance of surviving.”
Xu Cheng said as he picked up his deck and threw it into the sky. Then, as the cards fell back down, he reached out one hand and swiftly moved in the rain of cards. When it all settled, 13 cards appeared in his hand.
It was the Ace to King of spades, the entire suit!
Everyone at the scene was shocked.
It was already difficult enough to catch 13 cards as 52 cards fell down, but what was even more stunning was that he picked up all the Spades cards. Upon a closer look at the hand, the Spades cards were even in order! Not sure if he arranged it all into order with just one hand in a split second, or he caught all the cards in order, but either of those was equally terrifying.
This directly stunned Yan Jingfan, and he almost kneeled down before Xu Cheng.
The crowd immediately gave him the loudest applause.
Just with this skill alone, it would be enough to deter all the top-tier gambling experts.
It was because even Yan Jingfan couldn’t do something remotely as perfect as that.
Not to mention catching 13 cards during that short amount of time as the cards fell, it would already be his best state to catch 6 or 7. It would be exponentially more difficult to get the same suite in order.
“Not gambling against him anymore.” Yan Jingfan fell down on his bum and gave up.
As for Young Master Lee, he just blankly looked at Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng also looked back at him and smiled. “Thank you for your money.”
“Wait a second!” Young Master Lee was anxious. He couldn’t afford to lose that much money, so he immediately decided to pull a fast one and shouted, “You facking cheated!”
Then, his bodyguard immediately took out a pistol and aimed at Xu Cheng’s head
He had wanted to kill Xu Cheng for a while now, and he might as well do it now, and maybe his boss could take back that 8.7 billion and then give him some as a bonus.
