The third deal gave Ling Zhenfei an Ace, while Cyclops Mountain Eagle received a nine. It was Ling Zhenfei's turn to call the cards first again.
Ling Zhenfei once again casually pushed out one hundred thousand in chips, but Cyclops Mountain Eagle, not to be outdone, continued to follow suit.
As for the other gamblers, seeing their own poor face-up cards on the table, except for two following the bet, the others all folded their cards promptly.
This round had clearly become a direct confrontation between Ling Zhenfei and Cyclops Mountain Eagle. Now, both had invested two hundred thousand, and neither could back down, only one more bet was left to settle the score.
The waitress dealt the cards for the fourth time to both sides, and even she, a stranger to gambling, tensed up upon seeing the cards she dealt.
In Ling Zhenfei's hand were four face-up cards: two Queens, an Ace, and a ten. As for Cyclops Mountain Eagle, his cards were two tens, a nine, and a seven.
With such card sets showing, it was a bit awkwardly bizarre. If Ling Zhenfei held a Jack instead of a Queen, and Cyclops Mountain Eagle had an eight instead of a ten, both could potentially have had straights. However, according to the current situation, it seemed both their hands were a bit off track.
Basing it purely on their playing conditions at the moment, if any side matched their bottom card with a pair to form a triplet, they could easily crush the opponent.
"Heh, it seems your gambling luck isn't so great, huh!" Ling Zhenfei proudly chuckled and pushed out three hundred thousand this time.
"Hmph, gambling, right, the real winner is the one who laughs last! Kid, I'll match your three hundred thousand and raise another five hundred thousand!"
Cyclops Mountain Eagle did not believe his luck was worse than Ling Zhenfei's. He had decided to take all the money in front of Ling Zhenfei. Gritting his teeth, he not only immediately matched the three hundred thousand but also pushed out an additional five hundred thousand.
"Haha, it looks like Uncle Eagle you're truly planning to pay me back the one million Fatty lost!"
Ling Zhenfei laughed heartily, without hesitation he also pushed out five hundred thousand in chips and then stared coldly at Cyclops Mountain Eagle, "Uncle Eagle, you reveal your cards first!"
"Fine, kid, today I'll make you lose convincingly!"
Cyclops Mountain Eagle snorted coldly, stretched out his hand, and flipped his bottom card—it was indeed a ten, three tens. If Ling Zhenfei's bottom card was off, he would immediately lose one million.
"Kid, see that clearly? Three tens, I really don't believe your luck is that good, that you could draw three Queens?"
Cyclops Mountain Eagle clenched his teeth, his expression appeared even more fierce than the Devil's, as he shouted angrily.
"Hehe, Uncle Eagle, miracles do exist in this world, and if you don't believe in miracles, you often end up very miserably!"
Ling Zhenfei ignored his sneer, leisurely flipped over his own bottom card...
Oh, impossible!
Seeing Ling Zhenfei's bottom card, not only was Cyclops Mountain Eagle so shocked that his single eye nearly popped out, all the gamblers also exclaimed in unison.
Sure enough, Ling Zhenfei's bottom card was actually… a Queen!
Three Queens, solidly beating Cyclops Mountain Eagle's three tens!
"No, impossible! How can this be?"
Cyclops Mountain Eagle stared blankly at Ling Zhenfei's cards, looking dazed, his lips trembling, absolutely unable to believe his own eyes.
Because, he was not only a gambler but also an excellent cheat; he had clearly switched Ling Zhenfei's bottom card just a moment ago. But how did Ling Zhenfei's card come back?
Looking at Cyclops Mountain Eagle's shocked expression, Ling Zhenfei was utterly dismissive, not even feeling like taunting him verbally. He just snapped his fingers at Fatty, signaling him to gather all the bets on the table.
"Kid..."
The lackeys alongside Cyclops Mountain Eagle wanted to stop them but were prevented by a look from Cyclops Mountain Eagle himself, and could only watch helplessly as Ling Zhenfei ordered Fatty to fetch the chips for cash exchange.
Fatty had lost a total of one million two hundred thousand, and Ling Zhenfei, through the previous few rounds, had not only returned him his principal but even won several hundred thousand more.
"Boss, your gambling skills are truly unmatched. My admiration for you now flows like the endless river…"
Having witnessed Ling Zhenfei win a few rounds, Fatty couldn't help but continuously give Ling Zhenfei thumbs up and shower him with praise.
"You, Fatty, shut up this instant, always running off to the gambling den. Just wait until we get back, and I'll deal with you right."
Ling Zhenfei glared fiercely at Fatty, noticing that Cyclops Mountain Eagle was sitting there grimly, glaring at him with resentment.
Far from being frightened, he instead chuckled and gave a mockingly respectful fist salute, "Uncle Eagle, I really admire the way you conduct yourself, knowing my friend lost a lot but not only giving a full refund but also throwing in a few hundred thousand more. Well, thanks! Next time I'm free, I'll come by again to play, farewell!"
Saying this, Ling Zhenfei grabbed Fatty's sleeve and the two of them headed straight for the exit.
"Boss, are we just going to let this kid leave?" As Ling Zhenfei and Fatty made their way out, a lackey behind Cyclops Mountain Eagle expressed his reluctance.
"Hmph!"
Cyclops Mountain Eagle snorted coldly and said in a stern voice to the lackey, "This casino ultimately belongs to Boss Liang; I just hold a stake in it. Go and notify Boss Liang, have him send Jiang Hao to test this kid first. We'll talk about what to do next later!"
"Yes!" The lackey acknowledged the order and rushed out of the clubhouse.
Ling Zhenfei was well aware that the money in the casino was not easy to win. Especially for a formidable character like Cyclops Mountain Eagle, how could he easily spit out the meat that entered his mouth?
Convinced that these people would take action, as soon as they stepped out of the clubhouse, Ling Zhenfei urged Fatty to drive off quickly from this troubled spot.
Fatty also knew that trouble was bound to follow, so he swiftly drove away.
Peering through the rear-view mirror, Ling Zhenfei didn't spot anyone from the clubhouse chasing after them, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Although he wasn't afraid of these casino ruffians, it was still daytime, and he didn't want to have a brawl in public. If things blew up, it would be detrimental to him.
Screech!
Fatty drove away from the clubhouse area, and just as he was about to breathe easy, they suddenly saw a black Audi rush out diagonally and block their path.
If Fatty hadn't reacted quickly enough to hit the brakes in time, they would have been overturned.
"Are you trying to kill us? Are you blind, what kind of driving is that?"
Fatty's anger surged instantly, and he yelled at the other driver without any courtesy.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
However, the opposite party clearly did not care to engage in any verbal exchange with Fatty and quickly got out several Big Men, who immediately blocked off Fatty's car door.
"Get them out, take them away!" The leader among the Big Men didn't even get out of the car, nor did he glance at Ling Zhenfei and Fatty inside, and coldly ordered his men.
"Yes!" The Big Men understood the command and forcibly opened the car door, grabbing Fatty by the collar as they began to drag him out.
"Hey, who the hell are you guys? It was almost you who crashed into me, what's with this unreasonable behavior…"
Fatty cried out in protest desperately, trying to object, but it was utterly ineffective as they forcefully pulled him out.
