Chapter 463: The Countermove

Garten Chen wasn’t stupid.

He’d hidden six cards in total:

Two Jokers, four Aces.

No wonder he’d set the minimum bet at $30,000.

Six winning hands meant $180,000—then he could reshuffle and cheat again.

The bastard had planned it carefully.

"Show your hand already! What are you waiting for?"

The room buzzed with impatience.

I turned my card over slowly.

Silence.

A red 2.

It's the lowest card in the deck—except it beats an Ace.

"What the hell?!" Red Hair cursed.

Garten Chen’s face darkened. He shot me a venomous glare.

I’d ruined his scheme.

What he didn’t know was that I’d memorized the sequence when he fumbled the shuffle.

"Next round. Place your bet," Garten Chen snapped.

I now had $280,000 in front of me.

I reached for $30,000—but Garten Chen’s eyes flashed.

"No. You just won big. Now you’re trying to lowball me? You think I’m an idiot?"

His lackeys chimed in:

"Yeah! You lose big, bet big. You win, you chicken out?"
