Her voice was calm and resolute, drawing attention from those around her.
"I'll match that, one hundred million."
Du Heng raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in his eyes as he unhesitatingly matched the bet made by Chi Mu Jiu. His gaze met hers, filled with affection and tenderness that made her feel a rush of warmth.
Chi Mu Jiu felt a wave of shyness wash over her and quickly turned away, wondering why this man was so electrifying in such an intense moment.
"I'll match that."
The leader of the loan sharks, Chi Sang, immediately followed suit, a greedy smile spreading across his slick face. He called out while shamelessly running his greasy hand up the thigh of the beautiful dealer beside him, making a series of smacking sounds with his lips.
"Fold."
The con artist leader, Ai, tossed his cards into the pot at the center of the table with an indifferent expression, casting a disdainful glance at the other players.
"Raise! One billion."
Lesis doubled the initial bet. This move instantly darkened the expressions of Ke and Tan Lin, who had yet to make their bets. According to the common rules at the table, the player before them had doubled the stakes, meaning they had to at least match that amount.
Tan Lin hesitated for a moment, glancing at his cards before observing the reactions of others. Ultimately, he chose to follow Ai's lead and tossed his hand into the pot as well.
Ke appeared reluctant, gripping his cards tightly as he calculated in his mind. Out of his four cards, three were decent—though not high in value, they were still respectable. It would be too regrettable to fold now; however, raising again felt too risky. After much internal struggle, he finally made up his mind.
"I'll raise—one billion."
Hearing Ke's declaration brought a spark of excitement to Chi Mu Jiu's heart; she knew an opportunity had arisen.
"I'll raise—one billion!"
Chi Mu Jiu reacted swiftly, her voice clear and firm as she locked her gaze on Ke, a glint of cunning shining in her eyes.
Beneath the exquisite mask, the beauty's eyes sparkled with an increasingly bright light, as if hiding endless secrets. When Du Hengyan finally saw clearly, he realized that it was an insatiable ambition for wealth and thrill.
Ling Yun's heart was even more perplexed; since the beginning of the gambling, this masked beauty had never once looked at her cards, only continuously raising the stakes. It seemed that this Boss Du truly cherished her like a treasure, recklessly increasing the bets as if throwing money in the street.
Raise the stakes—one billion.
Du Hengyan remained calm and composed, but now his gaze was filled with a provocative challenge directed at Ke.
Boss Du, what do you mean by looking at me like that?
Ke suppressed his rising anger, his expression darkening further.
It means nothing; I just think you're about to go bankrupt.
Du Hengyan continued to lazily lift his thin eyelids, maintaining that nonchalant demeanor as he looked at Ke. His tone was relaxed yet carried an undeniable certainty.
Although this scene was not suitable for Chi Mu Jiu to interject, she couldn't help but feel a sense of secret delight inside. Du Hengyan's words were merciless, each one like a sharp blade piercing at his opponent's vulnerabilities.
Chi Mu Jiu couldn't help but sigh; with Du Hengyan by her side, this gambling game seemed to become even more thrilling and full of uncertainties. She just wanted to hurry and help him complete his mission.
