Due to the overwhelming crowd of onlookers, Lord Alaric stood atop his chair. Upon recognizing the steel card that had caught the hefty man’s card, he erupted with fury.
“Qiankun, do you still have any shame left? You’ve been caught cheating; you’ve already lost!”
Yet, Qiankun stood unfazed, a cold snicker escaping his lips. “The one cheating is he, not I! If there’s a problem, take it up with him!”
What audacity! Qiankun was utterly shameless. If it hadn’t been for the second boss’s home-turf advantage today, he would never dare behave so brazenly.
In the eyes of these gamblers, be they mere players or seasoned masters, there existed only win and lose—rules were irrelevant. Even for a master of deceit like Qiankun, the same principle applied.
Uninterested in pursuing the matter further, Qiankun glared at me and declared fiercely, “Lupan, you’ve lost. I demand your hand now!”
With that, he raised the card to showcase it before me.
