The initial bet was a billion, and as it doubled, the amount became staggering—equivalent to a colossal sixty trillion! Everyone understood that aside from Boss Du, who had the capacity to absorb such losses, who else at this gambling table could afford to lose several sixty trillions?
This round of gambling was fraught with risk, akin to placing one's entire fortune on the table without reservation, engaging in a life-and-death struggle with uncertain outcomes. Chi Sang and Ellie, who initially had thoughts of flirting, found their spirits completely dampened under the weight of the tense atmosphere. The feeling of surviving a catastrophe washed over them, making their expressions appear much more serious.
In contrast, Cory and Tanlin, who were engaged in the game, found themselves hesitating as they revealed their cards. At this moment, only Chi Mu Jiu's cards remained unturned. However, that one mysterious card was enough to instill fear. If one of the other two cards happened to be another ace, the loss would far exceed sixty trillion.
Cory was particularly indecisive; she and Chi Mu Jiu had been rivals at the gambling table for quite some time. This woman, who appeared as delicate as a little rabbit, always managed to crush her opponents with astonishingly perfect finishes.
Before anyone could fully contemplate their next move, Chi Mu Jiu boldly placed her bet again—one billion. This decision was like dropping a massive stone into a still lake, instantly creating waves that rippled outward. Cory and Tanlin checked their last two cards in succession. In that brief moment, the gears of fate began to spin rapidly.
One billion—betting on the next player. Du Hengyan understood that the critical moment for collecting cards had arrived. He calmly approached Tanlin to reveal his cards while entrusting the rest to his beloved wife.
Tanlin's expression visibly relaxed; he believed that revealing his cards might mean facing defeat but was far better than continuing to gamble and risking total bankruptcy. After all, he had already felt immense pressure in this game; every step felt like walking on thin ice.
However, what Tanlin did not expect was that Du Hengyan's hand turned out to be just one point higher than Cory's winning hand from the first round. Boss Du held an ace of spades, an ace of hearts, and two diamonds.
Points.
Mr. Tanlin, spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs,
Points.
A mere difference of one point determined the outcome of this gamble.
With a base bet of one billion, Mr. Tanlin, please make your move.
The dealer's voice echoed throughout the casino. After hearing this, Tanlin felt his legs weaken and he slumped down into his chair.
Though the loss in this round was severe, it was still within his means to bear.
In contrast, Lelis's fate might be even more tragic; a mix of emotions swirled within Tanlin at that moment.
Tanlin, as long as the green hills remain, there’s no need to worry about firewood.
Sitting beside Tanlin, Chisang tried to comfort him and politely extended a hand in consolation.
However, Tanlin was clearly engulfed in frustration from his defeat and dissatisfaction with Chisang and the others. He brusquely pushed Chisang away and retorted angrily:
I lost willingly, unlike you all.
You claim to be brothers who would stand by each other, yet at the critical moment, you just watched as your brother was betrayed.
Chisang awkwardly shrugged his shoulders; he understood Tanlin's feelings all too well at this moment.
Although Tanlin didn’t seem ready to explode with rage, he knew that if a conflict arose between them now, those dark guns behind him were no joke.
He certainly didn’t want to stir up more trouble at such a crucial time.
