Chapter 156
Chapter 156
Denise was heartbroken to see the dealer transfer the 1-million-Oro worth of chips to Des!
Des smiled silently.
Oliver lost.
Oliver instantly knew that the card must have been changed by the dealer.
There was a series of tricks. The cards weren’t fake and Des himself wasn’t cheating.
But the dealer cheated.
Oliver stared at the dealer’s right wrist, who was wearing a standard white shirt and vest suit.
She had an extremely delicate card changer in her wrist, and she was so fast that it was difficult for one to spot the changer from her movements.
Des’ pretension was to attract attention, and the pretty girl was only a dealer, so Oliver paid her little attention.
Oliver looked at the dealer who was about to deal and said lightly, “You don’t have to deal.”
As soon as Denise translated, the beautiful dealer was stunned and glanced at Des again.
Oliver didn’t say much. He unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt, rolled them up, and showed his wrist.
Des got it at once and waved the dealer away.
Obviously, Oliver saw something wrong but didn’t reveal it on the spot.
Since Oliver saw the problem but didn’t ask for the 1 million Oros back, it seemed that he didn’t care about this amount. Oliver took out the bank card and ordered, “Withdraw another 10 million Oros.”
After a while, a waiter handed over ten chips, each worth 1 million Oros.
Oliver then said to Des, “Mr. Des, could you deal the cards yourself?”
Des didn’t cheat. With Oliver watching, it was hard to cheat, so he dealt cards seriously.
Oliver identified his first card. It was a 3 of Hearts and Des’ was a 2 of Spades, both of which were small.
When Des was about to ask Oliver how many chips Oliver wanted to put in, Oliver said, “Sir, we haven’t seen the cards yet. How about a simpler game?”
Des smiled and asked, “What game?”
Oliver pointed to their respective cards in front of them and said, “We use only the cards we have now. Whoever has the bigger number will win.”
Des pondered for a moment and then nodded. “Okay, but what if they’re the same?”
Oliver said faintly, “Then according to your rules, Spades have the largest number of points on the same card, followed by Hearts, Clubs, and Diamonds.”
Des nodded again. “Okay.”
Oliver pushed out all the 10 million Oros that the waiter had just brought in front of him and said, “I’ll bet 10 million Oros on this one.”
Des was stunned for a moment and became nervous. Because he dealt secret cards, the surveillance cameras could not see them from any angle when he dealt them, so the monitoring analysis room
outside didn’t know the numbers of their cards.
The cards were normal, so there was no possibility of cheating. They had to gamble on luck.
But surprisingly, this young man bet the 10 million Oros he had just withdrawn. Was he confident or was he just gambling on luck?
Des couldn’t stop right there. He nodded in a deep voice and flipped his card, a 2 of Spades!
Oliver also slowly flipped his card, a 3 of Hearts.
Oliver won.
Des gestured calmly to the dealer to pay the chip, and then he dealt in the second round.
This time Des changed the tactic, certainly not stealing cards, but slightly tilted one side of the card to a camera, so that the card was captured and then analyzed.
Oliver immediately shouted, “Stop!”
Des stopped immediately and looked at Oliver.
“Sir,” said Oliver, “don’t lift your cards when you deal. Let them stick to the table.”
Des’ face turned red, and it seemed that Oliver had found out his method again.
Oliver added, “Let’s bet on pure luck and see if we win or lose.”
Oliver didn’t say it, but it was clear that he knew Des’ method had a problem and that Des cheated. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Des’ heart skipped a beat. “All right, let’s bet on luck then.”
The young man seemed to be an expert, and Des couldn’t fool him with tricks. Since it was a game of luck, Des decided to take his chances. In gambling, luck was definitely on the side of the banker, because as long as one continued to gamble, there would be no winning for him.
Des said nothing more and dealt a card against the table to both of them.
Oliver identified the cards. His card was Hearts 7 and Des’ was Hearts 4.
Oliver directly pushed out all the chips in front of him, which were worth 20 million Oros.
Des’ eyelids were throbbing. He thought, “How bold this man is!”
Average gamblers would always give themselves a way out. With 10 million Oros, they would only bet 500,000 or 1 million Oros rather than betting them all at once.
Des took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and said to Oliver, “Let’s reveal the cards.”
Des revealed his own card, hearts 4.
Des couldn’t help complaining. It was a small card.
Oliver stuck out his hand and said to Des, “Sir, turn the cards for me, please. I won’t touch them. Could you do me the favor?”
Anyway, he knew the numbers, so he didn’t touch them or look at them from beginning to end.
This way, Des had less reason to suspect Oliver. The casino was theirs, and the cards were theirs. Oliver didn’t even touch the cards. If he won, Des couldn’t complain.
Des flipped Oliver’s cards, hearts 7.
“Damn it!” he cursed inwardly.
Des felt like he was cut by a knife in his heart. “Damn it. I lost again!” he thought.
Oliver had 40 million Oros in front of him after this round, with interest.
On the third round, Des’ hand trembled a little and his forehead beaded with sweat.
Oliver identified that his card was Hearts A, and Des’ card was Plum Blossom A!
It was such a coincidence. They had the same cards, but according to the rules mentioned earlier, Oliver’s card was bigger
than Des’!
Oliver didn’t say much and pushed out all the 40 million Oros at once.
Des’ eyelids twitched a few more times. He thought, ‘Is the man mad or stupid?
He pushed all his chips out every time. Is he sure to win?’
Oliver didn’t deal or touch the cards and the cards were the casino’s. Des did not believe that Oliver could win
He thought Oliver was just rich and willful, just rich!
Des was at peace when he thought of it. It was just a gamble on luck. A man who bet on luck could not win all the time.
But there’s no absolute.
After the cards were revealed, Des saw his card was the Clubs A. He was relieved because his chance of winning was 90%! Oliver motioned for Des to flip his cards. Des reached over and flipped it.
Hearts A!
It was as if a heavy hammer had struck Des’ heart. He almost fainted.
He lost again!
He lost 70 million Oros in three rounds.
According to Oliver’s personality, he would push all his chips out again in the next round. The total amount in front of Oliver was 80 million Oros. If Des lost again, he’d lose 80 million Oros.
If he lost another round, he’d lose 150 million Oros.
This was a number he couldn’t bear. If he really lost so much, he would be chopped to pieces by the bosses of the board of directors and thrown into the ocean for sharks!
