Could it be... Does this guy really have some tricks up his sleeve, and those few moves just now were just for fun?

Since suspicion had already arisen in his heart, Ling Zhenfei no longer said much. He squatted in front of Zhuang Jia and smiled, "Okay, since you're interested, let's play a couple of rounds!"

"Good, the young brother is indeed forthright!"

Seeing that Ling Zhenfei agreed, Zhuang Jia put the three cards in front of him back into the deck, shuffled the cards quickly, and then squinting at Ling Zhenfei, said, "Young brother, what I played just now was just some simple tricks. If you're interested, how about we play something more thrilling?"

"Something thrilling?" Ling Zhenfei's eyes involuntarily narrowed upon hearing this.

He had already guessed that Zhuang Jia's arranging a card game here was a pretense; the real intention was to wait for him to show up!

This person looks unfamiliar; who exactly is he? And what is his purpose?

At this moment, although Ling Zhenfei was full of doubts, he had always been courageous and skilled, showing no fear but rather an increased curiosity. He gave a cold laugh and said, "What kind of thrilling game is it? Feel free to elaborate!"

Ling Zhenfei's gaze was piercing, and as Zhuang Jia met his eyes, there was no fear in his eyes, but rather he calmly pointed to the cards in his hand and said, "Young brother, how about I perform some magic tricks for you? If you can spot the trick, whatever amount of money you want, I'll compensate you. How about that?"

Compensate no matter the amount?

Zhuang Jia's confidently boastful words not only piqued Ling Zhenfei's interest but also involuntarily elicited various exclamations from the bystanders around them.

"Good, it's a deal!"

Magic, like cheating in card games, relies solely on sleight of hand. Ling Zhenfei was indeed eager to see what kind of incredible techniques could possibly escape his Perspective Divine Eye, and he readily agreed.

"Good, young brother, you'd better watch closely!" Seeing Ling Zhenfei agree, Zhuang Jia's eyes emitted a strange, cold smirk.

He first spread out the freshly shuffled deck in front of Ling Zhenfei and the onlookers to show that they were all red-faced cards.

Then he took the cards in his hands and shuffled them several times again. When he spread them out again, everyone involuntarily let out a unanimous gasp of surprise.

It turned out that the deck that had initially been red in his hands had, in the blink of an eye, turned black.

What is this... situation?

The onlookers were mere mortals with normal vision, so it was understandable if they couldn't see what had happened. But Ling Zhenfei, a master with the Clear Vision Perspective Eye, inexplicably failed to see how Zhuang Jia had turned a deck of red poker cards black in an instant.

You must know that Ling Zhenfei was fully aware that the opponent would definitely use sleight of hand, and he had been staring intently at his hands to prevent any slight of hand. Yet, despite his focused observation, he failed to see how the cards were switched.

Although Ling Zhenfei's vision was strong and his skill at cheating was thrilling, there was still a huge gap compared to those top-level cheaters, and he simply couldn't understand the methods of the man before him.

This...

For a moment, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help feeling a bit daunted. He even guessed that he had now encountered a gambling master!

"How about that, young brother, you didn't see it, did you?" Seeing Ling Zhenfei squatting on the spot, staring intently, Zhuang Jia's smile was very smug.

However, it seemed that this guy had no intention of stopping there. With a strange laugh, he pulled out two cards from the deck and showed them to Ling Zhenfei—two aces.

Ling Zhenfei didn't understand what new trick he was pulling, but he still stared blankly at his hands, his focus even more intense, eager to see just how fast this guy's hands were and what new tricks they could play!

After Zhuang Jia pulled out the two aces, he then placed them between the palms of his two hands and pretended to rub them vigorously. When everyone's eyes were fixed on him, utterly puzzled by what he was up to, he finally opened his hands.

Ah!

When everyone's eyes simultaneously fixated on the cards in his hand, they exclaimed in shock all together.

It turned out that between those two Aces, another Ace had appeared!

What was going on? Could this guy really be changing cards out of thin air?

Seeing such a scenario, not only was the surrounding crowd incredulous, but Ling Zhenfei also rubbed his eyes, hardly believing what he was seeing.

He, of course, knew the sleight of hand and card switching techniques commonly used by cheaters, which often involved rigging a mechanism in the sleeve to hide a card and then, while everyone's attention was elsewhere, secretly slip it into their hand.

But in this case, Zhuang Jia was clearly wearing a sleeveless shirt, without even sleeves - how could he hide and steal cards?

Moreover, Ling Zhenfei's Perspective Divine Eye had been closely watching the whole time, and any tiny movement in the other's hands would not have escaped Ling Zhenfei's eyes.

Yet, the outcome now was that under the surveillance of so many eyes, Zhuang Jia's magic trick had been seamlessly completed!

Seeing this scenario, the crowd was dumbfounded, with exclamations rising and falling in succession.

Ling Zhenfei, standing amidst the crowd, could hardly believe the reality before his eyes.

He couldn't see how, but this unremarkable-looking guy was actually a master at cheating. No, even if not a master at cheating, he was undoubtedly a top talent in the magic world!

"Young man, how do you feel? Do you really want to know the answer?"

As Ling Zhenfei was standing there, too stunned to speak, he saw Zhuang Jia's eyes flash with a strange smile again, a sinister pair of eyes staring straight at him.

"…"

Truthfully, Ling Zhenfei was at a loss for words. He indeed wanted to know the answer, but would this guy be willing to tell?

"Well, if you really want to know the answer, come with me. It so happens that someone else wants to meet you!"

Zhuang Jia seemed to have a clear grasp of Ling Zhenfei's psychological state, pocketed the poker cards, then stood up and began to walk away.

Gloating in his demeanor, he seemed certain that Ling Zhenfei would follow him.

In fact, this guy had a thorough grasp of human curiosity. Ling Zhenfei knew this guy had no good intentions and might have already set a trap somewhere, just waiting for him to fall into it.

But unable to resist his curiosity, Ling Zhenfei still decided to take the risk!

Moreover, the man's words had made it clear: someone was waiting to meet him!

Who could this person be?

At this moment, although Ling Zhenfei did not have a clear answer, he felt as if he had sensed something.

Since that person had taken so much trouble to set up this illusion, why not just go along with it?

Moreover, he really wanted to know just how many secrets were hidden behind that magic trick Zhuang Jia had just performed…

Ling Zhenfei parted the crowd and followed Zhuang Jia down the pedestrian bridge and got into a Wuling van parked at the roadside.
