Initially, I had no intention of resorting to deceit in this game.
I merely sought to gauge the waters before implementing my strategy in the following days.
However, the very first round presented an unexpected turn of events, stirring within me a heightened sense of vigilance.
Utilizing the information provided by Edmund, I was able to ascertain that Joyce lacked knowledge of any cheating techniques.
Did that mean his triplet was truly a stroke of luck?
With these thoughts swirling in my mind, I resolved to explore the matter further.
As the players began to place their bets, I stacked five bundles of cash before me and declared, "Having endured so many losses, it is high time for my victory.
I shall wager fifty thousand!"
I intended to place a significant bet, hoping to unveil how Joyce might be cheating.
After Joyce shuffled the cards, he gestured for us to cut the deck.
