Chapter 295: The Art of Manipulation

Old Master Qi presented two decks of playing cards, laying them face up on the table.

“Gentlemen, please examine the cards…” he instructed us both.

Regardless of one's status, even the most distinguished figures must verify the cards in such a gambling sect. After all, if one party had tampered with them beforehand, the consequences could be dire.

Qiankun and I picked up the cards, diligently inspecting them.

This time, our actions were devoid of flair; all our concentration was devoted to the cards themselves.

Once we completed our examination, Old Master Qi proclaimed, “According to the rules you have established, for every incorrect guess, one finger will be forfeited. I must inquire if both parties guess the number of correct cards identically, what is the penalty for the loser when comparing card values?”

Qiankun fixed his gaze on my hand and replied leisurely, “Then it shall be an entire hand. How does that sound?”

“Accepted!” I nodded slightly.
