The point total was calculated, and since the Clovers had doubled their points, the opponent's seven million chips were rendered void. Additionally, they were required to pay nine million chips.
The blonde woman clearly announced the results.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Pei, but it seems my hand is just a bit stronger than yours."
Chi Mu Jiu maintained a faint smile on her face, yet her words dripped with arrogance. In the game, she could see all the cards without needing to deal; she could assess both the suits and points at a glance.
In this game, success depended on the size of the cards and psychological warfare. With her ability to see the card values in advance, psychological tactics were child's play for Chi Mu Jiu.
"Madam, you really have good luck," Pei Jin said with a polite smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.
Soon after, the nine million chips along with all the chips in the pot for this round were awarded to Chi Mu Jiu. In a best-of-three format, she had won the first round.
Du Heng remained silent throughout, holding her leg as he quietly observed how she handled her opponents at the table. His deep-set eyes revealed admiration and indulgence.
This was his first time seeing her gamble, and he had to admit that this little one had some skills.
The second round was set for the Leopard Round. As the dealer's voice rang out, another special deck of gold-foiled cards was presented by the blonde woman to the table.
Upon hearing that her opponent had chosen the Leopard Round, Chi Mu Jiu felt considerably more relaxed. She thought to herself that this time she had to make a big score.
**Leopard Round**
The Leopard Round has unique rules: it involves drawing cards of the same suit and number from two decks of playing cards, only using Clovers and Spades.
Both players take turns selecting six cards of the same suit before placing their bets, with three rounds of raising bets allowed.
The opening rule states that if there are two cards of the same suit and number among the six drawn, it is considered a Leopard. If there are no Leopards among the six cards, all cards held by that player are void and do not count towards their score.
As the game began, both players needed to be aware that in a Leopard Round, winnings could be substantial; if either player held a Leopard card, their initial bet would be multiplied by ten. If both players had Leopards, their bets would be multiplied by twenty.
As soon as the dealer finished speaking, the square pot on the table began to rise slowly above its surface, filled with exactly what both sides would select from.
The gold foil cards were meticulously arranged on the table, each card positioned at the exact angle without a hint of deviation.
In Chi Mu Jiu's eyes, these cards were like openly displayed numbers, indistinguishable from one another. She already had a plan in mind; this hand had to be a big win!
At that moment, the atmosphere in the card room grew even tenser, as everyone anticipated the thrilling showdown of the Flower Leopard game. Pei Jin and his companions wore slightly serious expressions, seemingly pondering their strategies. After all, the outcome of this round would significantly impact the overall situation of the game.
"Du Heng Yan," she softly called his name.
"Yes, my lady, what do you need?" Du Heng Yan slightly lowered his head, listening attentively to her.
"I want to ask, can he afford to lose?" Chi Mu Jiu whispered, her voice barely above a murmur.
"Rest assured, my lady. No one here can escape their debts," Du Heng Yan replied. As he spoke, their gazes instinctively turned toward Pei Jin across the table, as if they shared an unspoken understanding.
At that moment, Pei Jin felt a chill creeping up his spine, sending shivers through him.
"The game begins; please let the loser of the last round draw first," announced the dealer.
As soon as the dealer's words faded, everyone's attention refocused on the table. It was clear that the previous round had merely been a warm-up. This was the crucial round.
Once the Flower Leopard game commenced, one side would inevitably face ruin.
