Upon learning that the female dealer was calculating her own cards, Ling Zhenfei wasn't about to let her succeed so easily. Taking advantage of the others who were distracted by feigning confusion with the cards, he intentionally guffawed at the female dealer, disrupting her train of thought.

Just as the female dealer was about to figure out the cards in front of Ling Zhenfei, his interruption completely scrambled her thoughts.

She looked up, about to glare at Ling Zhenfei but knowing the casino's rules — she couldn't be rude like that, so she had to forcibly restrain herself and replied in a low voice, "I'm sorry, sir, we don't have names here, only employee numbers. Also, I don't like to model, and I don't want to make friends with you!"

"Hehe, the beautiful lady who only has an employee number, don't reject me from a thousand miles away; I genuinely want to make friends with you, don't ignore me like that!"

But Ling Zhenfei ignored her conflicted expression and continued to pester her with a grin.

The female dealer, rattled by his persistence, could only glance a few times at the nearby individuals pretending to be spectators but who were actually part of the casino staff.

Those few individuals immediately understood and came over to pull Ling Zhenfei aside, saying, "Hey, buddy, don't be so thick-skinned, okay? The lady already said she doesn't want to be friends with you. How can you keep bothering her like this, have you no shame?"

"Right, and there are rules in the casino — customers aren't supposed to talk to the dealers at will. You're breaking the rules by doing this. The game is still going on, and your behavior is disturbing others!"

"Come on, who do you guys think you are to lecture me! I know the casino rules just fine."

Ling Zhenfei shot them a scornful glance, then, seeing the female dealer's frustrated look, he couldn't help chuckling inwardly before finally returning to his seat.

Knowing that the female dealer would need more time to count his cards, Ling Zhenfei stopped paying attention to her and began to focus on observing how the other gamblers at the table were feinting with their cards.

Ling Zhenfei knew that Golden Teeth was very cunning. In this gamble, he certainly wouldn't only rely on the female dealer to count his cards. Among these gamblers, there had to be cheats placed by him.

Just having dealers count cards was obviously not enough; there had to be cheats working together to win over both him and the other gamblers. Ling Zhenfei was certain that there were such cheats in the room!

Indeed, after scouring the room with his gaze, he actually spotted a gambler whose behavior was odd.

This gambler was a Bald-Headed Person, with a head that looked as if it had been chewed on by a dog, patchy and scarred — the person looked as sleazy as sleazy gets.

After all, who among the participants of such a large gambling event wasn't wealthy? But with this guy's unflattering appearance, even if someone claimed he was wealthy, it's likely not even he would believe it!

The Bald-Headed Person's disgusting appearance was one thing, but the way he feigned with his cards made Ling Zhenfei wish he could instantly leap over and pin the guy to the table for a serious beating.

Normally, when fainting with cards, one would use a card with a known face to lift the bottom card and reveal it little by little.

But this guy, on the other hand, was covering the bottom card with the known face of the top card. In this way, he couldn't see the bottom card; instead, he saw the back of the known card.

What in the world was this guy up to?

After noticing this detail about the Bald-Headed Person, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but raise all sorts of suspicions in his mind.

Could it be... this guy was really cheating?

But Ling Zhenfei's Perspective Divine Eye was not for show. After watching for a while, he noticed nothing but the guy's strange and slow movements when feinting with the cards. He wasn't hiding any cards, nor was he switching them, everything seemed normal!

There was definitely something off about this Bald-Headed Person!

Ling Zhenfei watched the Bald-Headed Person pretending to look at his cards, growing more convinced that something about him was off. But he couldn't clearly discern what the problem was.

As time ticked away, minute by minute, Ling Zhenfei stared at the guy until his eyes almost soured, yet he still couldn't spot any flaws, and he couldn't help feeling anxious inside.

It's really hard to tell—this revolting, bald-headed person actually seems to be an expert!

Time waits for no one, and Ling Zhenfei knew that if he continued to drag this out and let the female dealer calculate his own hand, and then collude with the bald-headed person to play some tricks, he could truly end up losing everything in this round!

"Hehe, it seems everyone is enjoying themselves quite a bit!"

Just as Ling Zhenfei was pondering his strategy, Golden Teeth and Du Xiao Ma came in with a cold sneer.

Seeing Ling Zhenfei's furrowed brows, a smug smile appeared on Golden Teeth's face, and he couldn't help silently scoffing to himself. Even if Young Master Ling had some skills, what of it? Wasn't he still trapped in his own snare?

"Young Master Ling?"

Qin Fanghuai had been sitting quietly on the side, but when he suddenly noticed Ling Zhenfei's grave expression, he couldn't help but feel a bad premonition.

"Don't talk, I'm fine!" Ling Zhenfei suddenly reached out his hand, stopping Qin Fanghuai from speaking.

He lifted his head and first glanced at the female dealer, only to find her secretly signaling Golden Teeth with her eyes. Clearly, she had already calculated his hand clearly and was just waiting for the bald-headed person to reveal his cards and compare them with his own.

As for the bald-headed person, he was still shuffling his cards nonchalantly, as if he could really turn the card into whatever he wished.

Changing cards?

Ling Zhenfei's mind was a mess, but when he suddenly thought of this, a flash of insight struck him.

That's right, changing cards! Could it be that this baldy actually knew some sort of spell or had some special cultivation technique that could really change cards?

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei still couldn't bring himself to believe it. Not everyone in the world could be as lucky as him to possess a superpower. If this bald-headed person really had some superpower spell, he wouldn't need to engage in such deceptive gimmicks at all!

The crux of the problem seemed to lie with the undealt card in this guy's hand.

Once Ling Zhenfei was certain of this point, he quickly activated his Perspective Eye to look at the card in the bald-headed person's hand—it was a Three of Clubs.

However, as the bald-headed person's thumbs kept rubbing against the back of the card, Ling Zhenfei, through his Perspective Eye, was surprised to discover that the number on the card, initially a Three of Clubs, had changed to an Eight of Clubs!

Damn! He can actually change cards!

Seeing this scene, Ling Zhenfei was so shocked that he almost cried out loud.

But he was a very clever man. Although initially taken aback, he quickly realized what was happening upon further thought.

It turned out that the bald-headed person's ability to change the card live was not due to any spell or superpower. The card that the dealer had dealt him was a poker card that had been pre-treated to change with heat.

This type of poker card, on the surface, looks no different from ordinary cards, and even with X-ray vision, one would not detect any secrets hidden within.

But by heating a certain point on the backside to a certain temperature, the face of the card would change. The only catch was that this heating process was very slow.

Once Ling Zhenfei came to this conclusion, all the confusion in his mind was immediately resolved.
