Chapter 219: Arrogance

The people around him looked on in confusion. No one understood why Rolf wore such an expression. Suddenly, with a loud "slap," Rolf slammed two playing cards onto the table. His face was a mix of anger and disbelief.

At this outburst, gasps immediately rippled through the crowd. Whispers began circulating among the gamblers.

“Wow, a pair of Jacks! That’s unbelievably impressive…”

“Three times the payout! He bet a full fifty thousand dollars, which means he just scored one hundred fifty thousand. If it were me, how delightful that would be!”

“Could he truly be a master gambler? To place a hefty bet and win like this…?”

The murmurs continued, rising and falling like waves. The way the crowd regarded me shifted drastically.

A pair of Jacks is the highest hand among the five small dragons. The dealer would owe me three times the payout. With this hand, I had just won one hundred fifty thousand.
