NOVPUBAt that moment.
Only three people remained at the gambling table.
Zhang Wei, a bald man, and a middle-aged man with a corpulent body.
They formed a tripartite standoff.
"Two hundred thousand!" the corpulent middle-aged man tossed a few chips, a faint smile on his face that made it hard to gauge his depth. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
"Yo!" the bald man grinned, "Is this running into a leopard? Interesting, interesting. I’ll also match two hundred thousand."
Zhang Wei took a puff from his cigar, confidently saying, "I’ll match as well!"
He knew.
The cards of the other two might be strong, but to him, all cards were inferior in his presence.
Of course.
This did not rule out the possibility that one of them might be bluffing.
Because in Exploding Kittens before revealing the cards, nobody knew what cards the opponent had, which meant that some, despite having poor hands, could still frighten some into folding due to their impressive demeanor.
"Two hundred thousand."
"Match!"
The three engaged in a true contest, each bet being two hundred thousand, and one round amounted to six hundred thousand,which deeply shocked everyone.
The spectators all knew that the ultimate winner would definitely win several million, perhaps even more.
This inevitably led to envy and jealousy.
"Dad, call mom and ask her to bring the money I won earlier and convert it into chips."
"And also, it would be best to bring the family savings, the car’s registration, and the property deed." Zhang Wei knew there was a tough battle ahead and whispered to his father.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei’s face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said, "Son, we should quit while we’re ahead. We can’t do this! If we lose, we’ll have nothing left!"
Zhang Lei was very afraid his son would lose.
If they lost.
They would be left without a home.
Zhang Wei did not respond to his father, but instead picked up the three hole cards to show his father, then revealed a thought-provoking smile, "Dad, with these cards, do you think we will lose?"
Boom!
Seeing the triple Aces as hole cards, Zhang Lei immediately felt his scalp explode, as if struck by thunder, although he was not adept at playing Exploding Kittens, he also knew this was the strongest hand.
With these cards, they would definitely win.
"Alright, alright, I’ll go out and call your mom right now," Zhang Lei said excitedly, and then left the Diamond Cashbox, calling his wife outside.
"Wife, quickly bring our savings, the money our son won earlier, along with the car’s registration and the property deed to the Diamond Cashbox!" Zhang Lei said exhilaratingly to his wife, "Our son got triple Aces as hole cards; this hand could win him several million, perhaps even tens of millions!"
"What? Triple Aces?" Nie Yunyan gasped in shock on the phone, she too knew how big that hand was.
Without a second thought, she hurriedly said, "Wait for me, I’ll take a cab right away!" Saying this, she hung up the phone, carrying the savings, over two million in cash, the Mercedes registration document, and the property deed, and drove to the Diamond Cashbox.
"Wife, come quickly with me, I’ll take you to the underground casino," Zhang Lei said eagerly as he took his wife’s hand the moment she arrived, and they took the elevator down to the underground casino
They exchanged for chips worth five million.
This was all of the Zhang family’s wealth; although their family was not very affluent, one of their houses was worth one-point-eight million.
Besides, their family had some savings.
Not to mention, Zhang Wei had won over four million in the past few days.
Exchanging for five million worth of chips was not very difficult for their family.
And at that moment.
A small mountain-like stack of chips also appeared in the middle of the gambling table, at least worth several million.
When Zhang Wei saw his parents appear, he breathed a sigh of relief and picked up five red chips to throw in the middle of the gambling table, "Five hundred thousand!"
Boom!
The onlookers all gasped in astonishment, not expecting Zhang Wei to suddenly raise the chips to five hundred thousand. If the other two continued to follow suit, then by the end of this round, there would be one and a half million at stake!
"It seems Mr. Zhang has strong cards!" The corpulent middle-aged man chuckled bitterly. He picked up his cards and glanced at them, unable to resist saying, "Although my cards aren’t strong, if I fold now, then the more than two million I’ve already bet will be completely wasted."
"I bet my cards are bigger than yours!"
"Five hundred thousand, I’m in too!" he said as he also picked up five chips and threw them onto the gambling table, his expression extremely grave.
The bald man grinned dismissively, "If Mr. Zhang really had strong cards, he wouldn’t have picked up the cards he discarded."
"I bet Mr. Zhang has a pair," he said as he also placed a bet of five hundred thousand.
The onlookers were abuzz with discussion.
Some speculated that none of the three men had strong cards.
Of course.
That wasn’t important.
What mattered was seeing who could hold out to the end.
"Hahaha, whether my cards are strong or not, you all will naturally find out when they are revealed!" Zhang Wei said spiritedly as he placed another bet of five hundred thousand.
His liberal betting was quite bold.
This scene undoubtedly made many people envious.
The other two also had very serious expressions as they followed the bets. In the eyes of ordinary people, they were now completely trapped with no way out.
After all, they had invested over three million in this hand.
If they folded now, it would be as if all that money had been wasted.
On the other hand.
By continuing to bet, there was still a glimmer of hope.
Because many people guessed that Zhang Wei’s cards were not very strong.
In a blink of an eye.
The corpulent middle-aged man in front of the chips had run out. He pondered for a moment and said, "I’m going to step out and make a phone call, let’s pause for a while!"
The dealer agreed to his request, as anyone at the table had the right to ask for a pause.
Then, she had someone cover their cards with a glass cover.
Ten minutes later.
The middle-aged man returned, followed by a fair-skinned and beautiful female waitress.
She was carrying a tray, on which lay a pile of red chips.
At a glance, there were easily several million.
Seeing this scene.
The onlookers showed expressions of disbelief, surprised that the middle-aged man had exchanged for several million more in chips.
For a moment.
Everyone showed an excited expression, it seemed that a fierce battle was inevitable here tonight!
It was just unknown who would become the final winner.
The mood of Zhang Wei’s family was also very excited; in their view, no matter how many chips the other party had exchanged, in the end, that money would all end up in their pockets.
"Damn, are you all so rich?" the bald man said in dissatisfaction, his pile of chips nearly depleted before him. If he didn’t exchange more chips, he would have to fold.
Zhang Wei said with a smile, "Brother, I suggest you fold. There’s no need to keep going."
"Fuck you, man. I’ve bet hundreds of thousands. Why should I fold?" the bald man said angrily. "If it were you, would you be willing to fold?"
