Ye Hao walked over with a smile and said, "How about I join the game?"
The Gambling King turned his head to glance at Ye Hao, discovering that Ye Hao was not more than twenty-one or twenty-two years old. He chuckled with surprise and then asked, "Young man, gambling is not for kids. You should go home, wash up, and get some sleep!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Hao clapped his hands, and Li Yi brought over ten million in chips, which were poured onto the gambling table. Ye Hao said with a grin, "How about a single bet for ten million?"
The Gambling King was even more surprised upon hearing this. Whose son is this, directly betting ten million in a single go? But with someone offering money, he certainly would not refuse. The Gambling King laughed and said, "Are you sure about a single bet for ten million?"
"Of course, you can raise the stakes if you'd like. Want to play?" Ye Hao chortled.
"Alright! Let's make this the last round..."
"No, it shouldn't be the last round; there are more games to be played. Certainly, if you win all my money, then it would be the last." Ye Hao's words were indeed grand!
The onlookers regarded Ye Hao with a look of amusement, entirely believing that Ye Hao was a fearless young man who boldly challenged the Gambling King. They thought to themselves that this kid was sure to lose ten million tonight.
"Haha, interesting. Since you're so keen, I won't spoil the fun. What do you want to play?" Gambling Life chuckled as he walked back and sat at the gambling table.
The people gambling nearby turned their heads, eager to see how the Gambling King would extinguish Ye Hao's bravado. They had been at the Gambling King's casino for a long time, but it was the first time someone had spoken so boldly to him.
"Haha, this should be good. I wonder if the Gambling King will win his ten million in the first round or play slowly with him?"
"I think he'll win it all in one go, right? After all, the Gambling King likes to save face; surely he won't be polite when someone speaks to him so boldly."
"Just sit back and enjoy the show. That's all that matters."
At this point, Ye Hao also sat down and said with a smile, "How about playing Golden Flower? I heard it's quick money."
"Golden Flower does make money fast, but it loses money just as quickly. You better think it through!" Gambling Life smiled.
"It's gambling! Victory and defeat are common affairs for those at war, so why can't gambling be a regular affair? I wouldn't mind if you'd lose all your money to me, but what would you do?" Ye Hao chuckled lightly.
Gambling Life's face stiffened momentarily upon hearing this but still smiled and said, "Haha, if you have that skill, I might as well close my casino."
The Gambling King surely understood the implication in Ye Hao's words, which was essentially a challenge. But he was no coward; since his rise to fame, many had tried to topple his reputation, only to lose all their money to him.
"Closing down is too severe, how about we add a condition?" Ye Hao looked at the Gambling King with a smile, thinking that this Gambling King really knows how to stay calm! He's steady even at this point; let's see if he dares to bet on conditions.
At this moment, one of the Gambling King's men walked over and scolded, "Kid, where do you come from? Dare to speak like this to our Master Gambling, looking for death, aren't you?"
Another henchman leaned in and said, "Master Gambling, should we throw this kid out?"
"Haha! No need, if he dares to challenge the casino, surely he has the capability, so whatever he wants to play, I'll accept."
"Alright! The Gambling King is so dominating, then let's play with conditions! Of course, what the conditions are will be discussed once the Gambling King has no more money, how about that?"
"Sure, but you don't seem to have any conditions to bet with me, do you?"
"No, no, I do, haha, Gambling King, catch!" Ye Hao replied and tossed an MG3 from under the table. This machine gun isn't something you can just buy in the black market, so Ye Hao believed the Gambling King would be definitely interested.
Sure enough, Gambling King's eyes widened at the sight of the machine gun and then asked, "Brother, this is good stuff you've got here, but if there's only one, that's too little, at least ten more, right?"
"Of course! If you, the Gambling King, have the skill, I can get you twenty of them." Ye Hao smiled and said.
"Great! Then let's start!" The Gambling King was eager to gamble with Ye Hao.
The spectators watched with curiosity, having been discussing just now, and suddenly, the game was on? They couldn't understand the conversation between the Gambling King and Ye Hao.
Additionally, because the machine gun was passed from under the table, nobody saw it.
"Haha, alright, deal the cards then!"
"Aren't you cutting the deck?" the Gambling King asked.
"No need. If the Gambling King wishes, then cut it yourself!" Ye Hao waved his hand smiling.
"Never mind. Let it be dealt like this!" The Gambling King decided not to cut the deck, allowing the dealer to deal the cards.
The dealer dealt one card to Ye Hao, then one to the Gambling King, repeating this process for three cards before stopping.
"What's a good minimum bet?"
"One million minimum bet should work, so even if you win, the payout can be bigger."
"Absolutely no problem." After saying this, the Gambling King tossed a million in chips into the center. Then another staff stacked the chips neatly in the middle.
Ye Hao also asked Li Yi to place a million in chips.
At this point, Ye Hao asked, "Gambling King, I'm the guest, how about I call first?"
"Sure." The Gambling King nodded, and neither had looked at their cards yet.
Ye Hao already knew what his cards were, but the Gambling King did not know his hand, so he planned to see how Ye Hao intended to play.
"I'll blind bet nine million." Ye Hao spoke astonishingly, betting nine million without even looking at his cards.
If the Gambling King didn't look at his own cards, he could bet nine million to see Ye Hao's three cards, but if he looked at his own cards, then checked Ye Hao's, he'd have to pay eighteen million.
The Gambling King simply chuckled at Ye Hao's words and picked up his cards to look.
While he could play blindly like Ye Hao, he felt checking the cards was better, giving him confidence.
Ye Hao held a sequence of Hearts: Jack, Queen, and King, while the Gambling King's cards were three Aces. The only situation when the special combination of 2, 3, 5 beats three Aces, otherwise, three Aces are generally superior.
However, the three Aces in the Gambling King's hand were not dealt by the dealer but were altered when he checked his cards, swapping a Heart King with a Spade Ace, thus he held Spade Ace, Heart Ace, and Club Ace.
Ye Hao merely smiled upon seeing this, effectively changing the Gambling King's Heart Ace to a Heart Jack when no one was paying attention.
His own cards turned into a royal flush of Hearts: Queen, King, and Ace, while the Gambling King had Spade Ace, Club Ace, and Heart Jack.
With such hands, there was no doubt Ye Hao was going to win.
But the Gambling King overconfidently glanced over his cards once and then stated, "Eighteen million, no peek."
Ye Hao smiled at this remark; the big fish was about to take the bait...(to be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. For mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
