You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

The air conditioning in the casino lobby was on full blast.

Sweat dripped from Ruan Jin's forehead like broken beads, pattering onto the green woolen tabletop.

His mutilated hand was scratching nervously on the table, making a series of teeth-grinding scraping sounds.

Less than thirty laps.

In just half an hour, this gambling king, who had dominated Southeast Asia for decades, was utterly defeated by a mere greenhorn.

The stakes in front of Lin Chen have skyrocketed from the initial one million US dollars to eight million US dollars.

The pile of chips, stacked like a small mountain, gleamed blindingly under the lights, like resounding slaps delivered hard to Ruan Jin's face.

"Hey old man, want to play again or not?"

Lin Chen leaned back lazily in his chair, casually toying with a chip worth $100,000 in his left hand.

The chip spun rapidly between his fingers, turning into a blurry afterimage, as if it possessed a life of its own.

His right arm was still wrapped around Su Qingge's waist in a domineering manner.

Su Qingge was now fully immersed in her role, nestled softly in Lin Chen's arms.

Her wheat-colored skin exuded a wild beauty, and the beauty mark at the corner of her eye flickered under the light, making the eyes of the men around her almost pop out.

She could feel the unwavering composure emanating from Lin Chen, which completely relaxed her previously tense nerves.

This man is really strong.

He was so powerful that even she, the head of the major crimes unit, had the illusion that she wanted to hide under his wing forever.

"Play! Why aren't you playing!"

Ruan Jin suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, making him look ferocious and terrifying.

He was blinded by defeat.

He not only lost money, but also the reputation he relied on for survival.

If he loses here tonight, his "Nine-Finger Gambling King" reputation will become nothing more than a doormat tomorrow.

"This time, I'll bet my life against you!"

With a low, beast-like growl, Ruan Jin pushed out all the remaining chips.

The croupier's hands trembled slightly.

This level of high-stakes gamble is rare even on Poseidon 2.

The playing cards were shuffled rapidly in the dealer's hands, making a crisp clattering sound.

In that very instant.

Nguyen Kim made a move.

His four-fingered claw seemingly casually swept across the table, but in reality, he unleashed his trump card – "Hidden Universe in the Sleeve".

This is an ancient cheating technique that has been lost for a long time, emphasizing the importance of "speed" and "stability".

To the average person, he simply changed his sitting posture or adjusted his breathing.

However, under the influence of [God-level Insight], the world in Lin Chen's eyes moved at an appallingly slow pace.

He could clearly see that between Nguyen Kim's middle and ring fingers was an extremely thin Ace of Spades.

The card slipped down his sleeve like a nimble fish and landed precisely in his palm.

Ruan Jin wanted to make a straight flush.

This technique is indeed fast, so fast that even the high-definition surveillance cameras with tens of millions of pixels overhead can only capture a blurry double image.

A cruel smile crept across Nguyen Kim's lips.

He's already seen the hole cards, and with this Ace of Spades, he's guaranteed to win tonight!

"Kid, go to hell!"

Ruan Jin roared inwardly, eager to see Lin Chen lose everything and beg for mercy on his knees.

He was already mentally planning what positions he would use to ravage that beauty named Anna in the cabin.

A mischievous glint flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.

Want to play?

Then I'll play a big game with you.

[God-level magic hand speed], explodes out!

At that moment, Lin Chen's hands disappeared into thin air.

Disappearance in the literal sense.

There was no sound, no trace of air movement.

0.01 seconds before Nguyen Kim was about to reveal his hand.

Lin Chen's fingers seemed to penetrate the barrier of space, silently reaching into Ruan Jin's palm.

The Ace of Spades, which Ruan Jin regarded as his lifeline, was instantly snatched away by Lin Chen.

Instead, Lin Chen casually picked up a discarded card from the pile of junk on the corner of the table.

3 of the squares.

The entire process was so fast that it exceeded the limits of human visual perception.

"Open the cards, old man."

Lin Chen's voice was calm as still water, even carrying a hint of inscrutable pity.

"Hahaha! Still pretending to be innocent even when death is imminent!"

Ruan Jin let out a wild laugh, suddenly stood up, and his aura reached its peak.

"Flush! Kneel down before me!"

He roared and slammed his two cards onto the table!

boom!

The dull thud made the hearts of the entire audience tremble.

Everyone held their breath, craned their necks, and stared intently at the two cards.

however.

The expected Ace of Spades did not appear.

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

The entire casino lobby seemed to have been muted.

On the table, a King of Spades lay quietly.

And right next to it lay a face that was utterly comical and utterly out of place…

3 of the squares.

Ruan Jin's maniacal laughter froze instantly.

His withered old face seemed to have been stared at by Medusa, turning to stone inch by inch.

His eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he stared intently at the 3 of diamonds.

impossible!

That's absolutely impossible!

He clearly hid the Ace of Spades!

He personally placed that card into the bottom deck!

Why did it turn into a square 3?

Why!

"Pfft... Hahahaha!"

It's unclear who started it, but soon after, the entire casino erupted in a deafening roar of laughter that seemed to lift the dome off.

Those Russian arms dealers who had initially been intimidated by Nguyen Kim's imposing manner were now laughing so hard they were almost in tears.

"Is this the Southeast Asian gambling king? Holding a 3 of diamonds and calling it a straight flush?"

"Old man, are you getting presbyopia? Shouldn't you get some glasses?"

"This time, we lost more than just money; we've completely disgraced our ancestors for eighteen generations!"

Taunts, whistles, and laughter completely drowned out Nguyen Kim.

Su Qingge was also stunned.

She looked at the 3 of diamonds, then at Lin Chen's nonchalant expression, and a huge wave of emotions surged within her.

Although she didn't see the process clearly, she was certain that it was Lin Chen's doing.

Nguyen Kim's brain completely shut down.

He slumped into the chair as if he had lost his soul, his lips trembling violently.

"No...you cheated...you cheated!"

He suddenly raised his hand, pointed at Lin Chen, and screamed shrilly.

Lin Chen sneered and slowly stood up.

His tall and slender figure and the oppressive aura he exuded in that instant silenced the surrounding laughter.

"Deqian?"

Lin Chen looked down at Ruan Jin from his high position, his eyes cold and devoid of any warmth.

"The dealer is shuffling the cards, the cameras are overhead, and hundreds of eyes are watching."

"Are you saying I cheated?"

Lin Chen took a step forward, and his powerful aura made it difficult for Ruan Jin to even breathe.

"On the contrary, you, Nine-Fingered Gambling King, should I have my security personnel search the things in your sleeves for you?"

Ruan Jin froze.

He did indeed have a few spare cards in his sleeve.

If he is found out, according to the casino's rules, he will be thrown into the sea to be fed to the fish tonight.

His face went from deathly pale to ashen.

He knew he was completely finished.

He was defeated by a young man he had never respected from the beginning.
