I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 537 Ireland Flips the Table (1st Update)
Inside the casino, the lights shone brightly, and the crisp sound of chips clinking echoed throughout.

Xiaolan sat at the gambling table, her palms slightly sweaty, but her eyes were unusually determined.

She wasn't a gambling expert, and she only had a superficial understanding of the rules, but strangely enough, her luck was outrageously good!
"Three 8s, this lady wins." The dealer flipped over Xiaolan's cards and announced her victory.

A gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd.

"You won again?!" Sonoko's eyes widened, and she excitedly slapped the table. "Ran, your luck is just too incredible!"

Kazuha couldn't help but exclaim, "This isn't just good luck, it's like the God of Gamblers has possessed us!"

Kogoro Mouri stroked his chin smugly: "As expected of my daughter!"

However, as Xiaolan's winning streak continued to improve, the atmosphere in the casino gradually became subtle.

The once noisy gambling table gradually quieted down, and many players stopped their games and gathered around to watch.

"This girl...could she be cheating?" someone whispered in doubt.

“It’s possible, otherwise how would you explain winning so many times?” another person said.

"…………"

Hearing the whispers, Xiaolan clenched her fingers nervously and whispered, "I...I really didn't cheat..."

Kogoro Mori immediately slammed his fist on the table and stood up, glaring around: "Hey! What do you mean? My daughter won fair and square, and you can't accept defeat, can you?"

Just then, the casino manager walked over with several bodyguards in black.

He was impeccably dressed in a suit, with a professional smile on his face, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

“Miss, your luck is truly amazing.” He bowed slightly, his tone respectful, but his gaze swept over Xiaolan. “Would you allow us to observe you up close?”

Xiaolan was a little nervous and subconsciously looked at Shiraishi E.

Shiraishi E smiled slightly and calmly said, "Ran, since they want to see, let them see as much as they want."

He said with a hint of amusement, "This time, don't even touch the cards, just bet based on your gut feeling."

"Huh?" Xiaolan was taken aback.

Yuzuru frowned slightly: "Isn't this too risky?"

Kogoro Mouri hesitated for a moment: "Yeah, betting without looking at your cards is just too much..."

Sonoko excitedly interjected, "What's there to be afraid of! We've already won so much, so what if we lose a few rounds!"

Kazuha nodded in agreement: "That's right! Ran's luck is so good, there's definitely no problem!"

Under everyone's gaze, Xiaolan took a deep breath and nodded.

The ensuing bet completely overturned everyone's understanding.

Xiaolan didn't touch any cards throughout the game, relying solely on her intuition to decide whether to bet.

Feeling bad? Fold your hand.

Feeling confident of winning this round? Without hesitation, bet the maximum amount.

At first, the other gamblers were just watching the spectacle unfold, but when Xiaolan won five consecutive rounds, even without looking at her cards, and won a huge sum of money, the entire casino fell into an eerie silence.

"This...how is this possible?!" someone muttered to themselves.

The casino manager's expression changed from initial suspicion to shock.

He stared intently at Xiaolan's hands, trying to find any trace of cheating, but in the end he could only admit that this girl was just ridiculously lucky!
"Damn it, there really wasn't any cheating..." The person in charge rubbed his temples, looking exasperated.

No matter how strict the casino rules are, they can't possibly prevent lucky people from entering!
Just as he was struggling with how to handle the situation, a deep voice came from behind the crowd—

"Lucky lady, how about I become your opponent?"

The crowd parted automatically, and the blond Irishman walked over, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Yusaku and Kogoro Mouri exchanged a glance, secretly delighted: Their target had been found!

Besides Ireland, several other highly skilled professional gamblers also stepped forward, looking at Xiaolan with great interest: "We also want to challenge this 'Lady Luck'."

Xiaolan was a little nervous, but she still nodded: "Okay, okay... But there are too many people here, could we find a quieter place?"

The casino manager, eager to get rid of these troublemakers, immediately agreed: "Of course! A VIP room is ready for you."

—The plan is going smoothly!
Before heading to the VIP room, everyone must undergo a rigorous anti-cheating check.

Yusaku and Kogoro Mouri exchanged a glance, secretly pleased, but then looked at E Shiraishi with concern—he was carrying a gun!

However, to everyone's surprise, Shiraishi passed the inspection with a calm expression, and even the metal detector did not sound an alarm.

"How is this possible?!" Yusaku was shocked, but he didn't show it on his face.

Shiraishi E winked at him, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.

The door to the VIP room slowly closed, and Yusaku breathed a sigh of relief, finally achieving his plan.

Now only one last step remains!

Inside the VIP room, a crystal chandelier casts a soft glow, and deep red leather chairs surround a black marble gambling table.

The dealer skillfully shuffled the cards, the clinking of the metal chips producing a crisp and pleasant sound.

Xiaolan sat at the gambling table, looking a little nervous. After all, it was her first time betting so much, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous.

Across from her, Ireland sat with his legs crossed, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table, a faint, cold smile playing on his lips.

Several other professional gamblers were also eyeing her intently, clearly planning to end the "lucky girl's" luck!
The first game begins.

Ireland, holding a pair of Kings, smirked and said in a deliberately low voice, "It seems Lady Luck's favor has come to an end."

Xiaolan ignored him, focusing intently on her hand and contemplating whether or not to call, completely oblivious to his words.

Ireland:"……"

Psychological warfare is ineffective!

In the following rounds, Ireland and other players took turns trying to interfere with Xiaolan in various ways—

Pretend you have a great hand and deliberately raise to force her to fold.

He used a contemptuous tone to provoke her, trying to get her to make an impulsive bet.

Some people even coughed or banged on the table on purpose, trying to distract her.

however……

Xiaolan wasn't buying it at all!

"I call." After thinking it over, she pushed out a stack of chips without even glancing at her opponent.

"I'll raise the bet again." She did so without hesitation, as if she didn't care about winning or losing at all.

"All in." She smiled slightly and pushed all her chips out.

Ireland's forehead began to sweat as he watched helplessly as Xiaolan won three or four rounds in a row, piling up the chips on the table like a small mountain.

"How is this possible..." A professional gambler gritted his teeth. He had lost all his chips and could only get up and leave the game unwillingly.

Kogoro Mori, grinning from ear to ear, slapped his thigh and laughed wildly: "Hahaha! As expected of my daughter! What gambling masters are nothing but trash in front of my daughter's luck!"

Ireland's face grew increasingly grim. He stared intently at Xiaolan, cursing inwardly, "What's wrong with this woman?!"

Finally, he got 3 Aces!

"All in!" Ireland shoved all his chips forward, his eyes gleaming with madness. "This time, you're doomed!"

Xiaolan looked at her cards, hesitated for a second, and then...

"I'll follow."

--Royal flush!

Ireland's eyes widened, and he suddenly stood up, causing the chair to fall to the ground with a thud.

"Damn it! This is unplayable!!" he roared, overturning the gambling table!

Chips, playing cards, and wine glasses were scattered all over the floor with a clatter, and the VIP room instantly descended into chaos.

Casino security personnel immediately rushed over: "Sir! Please calm down!"

"Cold my ass! How am I supposed to calm down?! All three Aces have been taken! I'll fucking kill you!" Ireland roared, punching the nearest security guard to the ground, then elbowing him in the back, sending the second guard crashing into the wall and knocking him unconscious.

The remaining gamblers screamed and fled in terror, the door to the VIP room was kicked open, and the crowd surged out.

Ireland, panting heavily, fixed his gaze on Xiaolan, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "You woman who has destroyed the sanctity of gambling... Die!!"

He suddenly rushed forward and delivered a powerful punch straight to Xiaolan's face!
However, Xiaolan's eyes sharpened, she dodged to the side, and punched Ireland in the nose with her backhand.

boom---

Ireland winced in pain and took a step back in shock: "You...?!"

"Want to fight? I'm ready!" Xiaolan struck a karate stance, her aura no less imposing.

Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri immediately rushed over to help: "How dare you bully my daughter?! You're asking for it!!"

The father and daughter worked together seamlessly, one attacking the upper body and the other the lower body, forcing Ireland to retreat repeatedly!

Yusaku stood to the side, glanced at Shiraishi E who was taking pictures with her phone, and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to help?"

Shiraishi E snapped another picture, smiling as she said, "It's rare to see them, father and daughter, working together so well. Let's give them a chance to shine. Besides, aren't they the ones who have the upper hand?"

Yuzaku looked around and thought it made sense, so he stopped talking. Besides, the current situation was much better than he had imagined!
Ireland struck first, which makes their retaliation perfectly reasonable.

The problem is, how can we legally and legitimately take someone away in full view of the public?
