Because at least one of them held a pair, if they had boldly followed the cards just now, the one million in front of Ling Zhenfei would surely have changed hands.
"Kid, you're ruthless!"
Watching Ling Zhenfei cheerfully scoop up all the chips on the table, a cold smile appeared on Cyclops Mountain Eagle's face.
"Ha-ha, such good cards, but only winning a bit of the base money, that's really unsatisfying!"
Ling Zhenfei laughed as he took five hundred out of the four thousand chips he won and pushed it toward the female dealer, saying with a smile, "Beauty, dealing cards is hard work, this tip is for you."
"This..." The female dealer glanced at Cyclops Mountain Eagle, obviously hesitant to accept it.
A spasm ran through the corner of Cyclops Mountain Eagle's mouth, and he let out a disdainful sneer, "Since he's rewarding you, just accept it!"
"Thank you, sir!"
The female dealer nodded to Ling Zhenfei with a smile, took the chips, and then continued to deal.
This time, it seemed that Ling Zhenfei was not so lucky. The face-up card was very small, but the gambler with the flat nose got a Diamond Ace.
The flat-nosed gambler stared at his face-up card, looking very pleased with himself, and rubbing his hands, he laughed and said to Ling Zhenfei, "Kid, what do you think? You see? This is what they call the rotation of fate, now the biggest card is in my hand, and it's my turn to call."
"Heh, then please do call!"
Ling Zhenfei had already seen right through his hole card with the Perspective Eye, and immediately shook his finger at him with a smile, gesturing for him to call.
"Heh heh, kid, this time I'll learn from you and make a big bet, I'll put in one hundred thousand!" The flat-nosed gambler boasted with a proud laugh, mimicking a big bet, but only pushed forward chips worth one hundred thousand.
"Heh, you think one hundred thousand counts as a big bet? I don't think so. Fine, I'll follow!"
Ling Zhenfei shook his head with a smile, neatly pushing out one hundred thousand worth of chips, then followed with another five hundred thousand, arrogantly saying, "I'll follow with another five hundred thousand!"
"You..."
The flat-nosed gambler, thinking he had the big Ace, was originally full of confidence, but upon seeing Ling Zhenfei follow without hesitating and dare to up the ante by five times, he suddenly panicked.
He looked at his hole card nervously, and upon finding it was a Queen of Hearts, and then seeing Ling Zhenfei's face-up card was a K of Spades, he felt intimidated and didn't dare to follow easily anymore.
"How about it, the rest of you, dare to follow or not?"
Ling Zhenfei still sat there as carefree as ever, but his gaze swept over the other gamblers like a shuttle.
The other gamblers, who had never seen anyone as outrageously confident as Ling Zhenfei, were simply too self-assured, betting big in every game. If they didn't have cards in hand, they certainly wouldn't dare to be so reckless!
After exchanging glances for a moment, they ultimately didn't dare to take the risk and covered their cards.
"What about you, Uncle Eagle, who thinks he's so awesome?" Ling Zhenfei's eyes had been fixed on Cyclops Mountain Eagle all along and mocked him once more.
"Hmph, you think I'm that foolish?" Uncle Eagle was so angry he felt like he could explode, but he also didn't dare to take the risk and covered his cards as well.
"Hahaha, ladies and gentlemen, the moment to witness a miracle has begun!"
As he watched everyone cover their cards, the mocking laughter in Ling Zhenfei's eyes grew even more intense as he flipped over his hole card.
Diamond Three!
When the crowd saw Ling Zhenfei's revealed hole card, an almost explosive chorus of boos erupted through the room.
The cards he held turned out to be the weakest at the table; anyone else's hand could crush his!
"Sigh!"
Among the crowd, the one who was most infuriated was the flat-nosed man who had placed a bet of one hundred thousand only to be frightened back by Ling Zhenfei,
thinking that if he had boldly stayed in once, he could have won back six hundred thousand, but he had missed the opportunity and had needlessly thrown in one hundred thousand, nearly turning his intestines green with regret.
Having been bluffed out of two rounds by Ling Zhenfei, even though nobody else suffered much loss, the momentum of the entire room had been seized by Ling Zhenfei. The sense of defeat everyone felt was palpable.
You must understand that in the casino, both momentum and skill are equally important. Momentum is fortune, and without it, no matter how high one's skill, the outcome is losing money.
"Don't be afraid of him, I don't believe this kid can keep winning!"
The Cyclops Mountain Eagle was still thinking about punishing Ling Zhenfei. Seeing the gamblers' spirits were low, he suddenly slammed the table to remind everyone to pull themselves together.
The waitress dealt the cards again, and this time everyone's hands seemed poor, but Ling Zhenfei's hand revealed a Spades O, which was surprisingly the biggest face-up card at the table.
"Kid, call!" The Cyclops Mountain Eagle slapped his face-up card, the Heart 10, quite annoyed, and shouted at Ling Zhenfei.
"Hehe, this is truly a case of 'when the cat's away, the mice will play.' Even a preserved egg dares to call. It looks like your luck isn't coming back."
Ling Zhenfei chuckled, gesturing to his own cards on the table.
"You... Don't get too cocky, kid! Today we'll make sure you lose everything down to your pants!" Still holding a grudge from losing a hundred thousand earlier, the flat-nosed gambler glared fiercely at Ling Zhenfei.
"Hmph, want to win against me? Then let's see if you've got what it takes." Ling Zhenfei revealed a sneer, clearly showing disdain for this fellow.
"You..." The flat-nosed man was outraged and about to retort, but was stopped by the Cyclops Mountain Eagle.
"Kid, cut the crap and hurry up with your call and bets!" Cyclops Mountain Eagle looked coldly at Ling Zhenfei, urging him to place his bet.
"Haha, since everyone's cards are subpar this round, why don't we play for a little, two thousand!" Ling Zhenfei smiled slightly and pushed out two thousand in chips.
"Hmph, and here I thought you wanted to bluff again this round! I'll match that!" A sneer flashed in the Cyclops Mountain Eagle's one eye as he too pushed out two thousand.
As Ling Zhenfei said, a bet of two thousand was too small; the other gamblers at the table all followed suit.
"Continue dealing!"
Once everyone had placed their bets, the Cyclops Mountain Eagle snapped his fingers at the waitress, signaling her to start dealing the second face-up card.
After the second round of cards, Ling Zhenfei held two Qs, while the Cyclops Mountain Eagle had two 10s, and everyone else's cards were also quite disappointing.
"Hahaha, when a man's luck in gambling comes, it can't be stopped at all."
Pointing at the newly-dealt Q, Ling Zhenfei laughed out loud, "I thought getting a Q was lucky before, but now another Q, it must be fate. Dream on if you think you can beat me."
"Kid, don't be so arrogant, you're still far from winning any money!" The Cyclops Mountain Eagle glared at Ling Zhenfei, almost roaring, "Place your bets!"
"One million!"
Ling Zhenfei smirked and pushed his chips forward with a swift motion, coldly eyeing the Cyclops Mountain Eagle: "Uncle Eagle, how about it, want to beat me? Then match it!"
"Fine, kid, I want to see if your luck is really that good."
Light contracted in the Cyclops Mountain Eagle's solitary eye as he scrutinized his and Ling Zhenfei's cards for a long time, silently reckoning that the young man was surely bluffing again. Gritting his teeth, he matched the million.
