“Deal!” As E.P.’s voice sounded, the game started again. This time was different from the previous few times. Yi Chengxuan and No.12 cast all the cards in their hands. Yue Xin lost her left and right guardians and directly faced E.P.
At this moment, E.P. only had one card in his hand, and Yue Xin still had two cards in her hand. After the draw just now, Yue Xin already knew which one was the turtle card in her hand. Now, E.P.’s hand was wandering around the turtle card in her hand.
Yue Xin was expressionless. No matter which card E.P. placed his hand on, her expression did not change, which made E.P. feel a little bored. He did not continue to tease Yue Xin. He accurately pinched the card in Yue Xin’s hand that was not a turtle card and took it away.
Seeing the result, he pretended to be surprised and looked at the cards in his hand. He smiled at Yue Xin and said, “It seems that my luck is not bad this round. I actually won.”
Yue Xin lowered her eyes. E.P. was emphasizing luck again, but did this game really rely on luck? This round was won early because Yi Chengxuan and No.12 were lucky.
For some reason, Yi Chengxuan’s words suddenly appeared in Yue Xin’s mind. “My luck has always been bad. If I only rely on luck, I’ll always be a loser.” Yue Xin muttered these words in her heart.
E.P.’s subordinates took away the chips that E.P had won in this round and distributed the chips that Yue Xin had just lost to Yi Chengxuan and No.12.
“Little kid, your expression just now was indeed flawless. It’s just that your luck was a little bad. You might be able to turn the tables in another round. You’ve already won so much previously. It’s really a pity.”
After E.P. finished speaking, he subconsciously took out a cigarette and put it
in his mouth, but he did not dare to light it in the end. He could only hold it in his mouth to satisfy himself. “You lost that round just now. There’s a high chance that you won’t lose this round in a row. How about it? Another round?”
Yi Chengxuan didn’t say anything at the side. Other than talking to E.P about luck just now, he really acted like he was here to make up the numbers in the game. He didn’t say anything when he won, didn’t complain when he lost, and didn’t give Yue Xin any hints.
No.12 wanted to persuade Yue Xin to stop playing. With Yue Xin’s current level, she could not defeat E.P., but No.12 knew very well why Yue Xin was here. In the end, he chose to remain silent.
Needless to say, Denise stood obediently behind Yue Xin like a backdrop.
Hence, at the gambling table, only Yue Xin and E.P. spoke.
When Yue Xin heard E.P.’s words, she nodded like before, but this time, she said, “I was unlucky just now.”
Hearing this, E.P. smiled and followed Yue Xin’s words. “That’s right. I was lucky just now and drew the right cards. This round will start again. Four people will draw cards. You can’t stay until the end. You might win first.”
That was what he said, but in the end, Yue Xin still went against E.P. For some reason, Yi Chengxuan and No. 12 gathered their cards very quickly in this round and won in a short while. The turtle card still fell into Yue Xin’s hands in the end. E.P drew the right card again.
This time, Yue Xin observed that a slight lifting of E.P.’s other hand suggested that he had thought before drawing cards, rather than drawing cards purely by feel, as he said. But E.P. had very little time to think. There was only one possibility for him to determine which card to draw in such a short time. E.P.
had received a message from a third person.
The first person Yue Xin thought of was Denise. After all, when Denise stood behind her just now, she felt that something was wrong. However, what kind of technique was it? After all, Yi Chengxuan was on her left and No. 12 was on her right. It was not easy to control both of their cards at the same time and ensure that the person who stayed behind was her.
At this moment, E.P had already thrown the cards in his hand onto the table. He smiled and said to Yue Xin, “What a pity. It seems that your luck in this round is still not good.”
This time, Yue Xin did not hesitate. She took the chips from No.12 and pushed them to E.P.. “Let’s play another round.”
E.P. was a little surprised, but not that surprised. One more game, and you could turn things around if you won. This was the mental activity of all gamblers. They felt that as long as they continued to play, one of them would be lucky enough to win back everything they had lost previously. But in fact, everything was just their wishful thinking.
E.P. looked at No.12. “Again?”
No.12 nodded. “Let’s.”
E.P. sighed. Alas, was this the kind of man who was blinded by love? Even if he had money, he couldn’t squander it like this. E.P. dealt the cards. He still won this round. The loser was Yue Xin..
