Chapter 1270: God of Cards admits defeat
Inside the room.
Cards table.
Dong Xuebing and Zhou Hu sat at the table.
Shen Xiaoyan asked softly. “Do you think Mr. Dong can win?”
Zhang Longjuan smiled. “That brat said he will not lose. That means he will win. But he is playing against the God of Cards. I think it is a tough fight. Need to wait and see.”
Shen Xiaomei asked. “But he does not know how to play 3-cards Brag. How is he going to win?”
Zhang Longjuan replied. “Xiao Dong does not know how to play Mahjong, but he still won.”
Shen Xiaomei said. “Did he pretend he does not know how to play Mahjong? You say that old man is the God of Cards and is a master at cheating. How is Mr. Dong going to win?”
Shen Xiaoyan paused for a second. “Mr. Dong is also good at cheating.”
Shen Xiaomei said. “Ah, they will be competing their cheating skills.”
Zhang Longjuan laughed. “That’s right. This is interesting.”
Shen Xiaomei replied. “We had won a lot. Why does he need to take this risk?”
Zhang Longjuan said. “Xiao Dong does not think like this. Let him try since he is confident. It does not matter if he wins or loses.”
“You are so nonchalant.” Shen Xiaomei was speechless.
Shen Xiaoyan sighed. “Mr. Dong had agreed to play against Zhou Hu. Let’s see who is better at cheating.”
The guests were excited about this match.
But many people who know about the gambling scene know this will be a match of cheating skills. This will not be a match of luck or techniques. Such matches are rare. The God of Cards is famous, and many guests felt he would win despite Dong Xuebing getting several hands of ‘Heavenly Wins.’ To them, Zhou Hu is more experienced and famous. They will be playing cards and not Mahjong.
Cards table.
The dealer stepped forward.
Zhou Hu said. “Bring a few more decks of cards.”
The dealer took out many decks of cards with different designs.
Zhou Hu smiled. “Pick a deck, young man. You can choose which deck you want.”
Dong Xuebing shrugged his shoulders. “You are older, and you should pick. I am fine with any deck.”
Everyone heard Dong Xuebing and felt he was too arrogant. He would never say that if he knew how skilled the God of Cards was.
But Dong Xuebing does not mind.
He is not afraid of any God or Saint of Cards.
Zhang Longjuan, Shen Xiaomei, and Shen Xiaoyan walked closer and stood behind Dong Xuebing. They want to watch the match at a closer distance.
Other guests came closer, too.
Besides Song Yuhu, Mr. Wei and a few others stood behind Senior Zhou. The rest stood by the side. Outsiders were not allowed to see their cards.
“All right. Let’s use this deck.” Senior Zhou took the first deck of cards on the left.
The dealer took the deck and opened the packaging. She turned the cards over to let them check before shuffling.
Swoosh… swoosh… swoosh…
When the dealer was shuffling the cards, Senior Zhou smiled at Dong Xuebing. “I had not played for many years. I saw your skills and could not control myself. I must play a few hands with you.”
Dong Xuebing replied. “It’s my honor.”
The cards were shuffled, and the dealer started dealing the cards.
One card… two cards… three cards…
Senior Zhou got his cards.
Dong Xuebing also got his cards.
To everyone’s surprise, Senior Zhou did not look at his cards. He touched and held them before throwing a one million USD chip. The chips were prepared. Song Yuhu helped him place his chips beside the table.
Not looking at the cards?
He is playing blind raise.
The opponent must double his bets if he wants to see his cards.
Dong Xuebing had wanted to look at his cards, but he saw Senior Zhou did not look. He tapped his cards and said. “Call.”
Shen Xiaomei placed Dong Xuebing’s chip on the table.
Senior Zhou looked at him and doubled the bet. “Two million USD.”
Dong Xuebing replied without blinking. “Call. Two million USD.”
Senior Zhou laughed. “Nice. Let’s see your cards.” He threw more chips into the pot.
Dong Xuebing did not say much and turned his cards over. “Q of Clubs, K of Clubs, and A of Clubs.”
It was a royal flush.
The onlookers gasped.
Senior Zhou smiled and held and touched his cards before lightly throwing them on the table. 5 of Clubs, 5 of Hearts, and 5 of Spades. Three of a kind.
Senior Zhou won.
The God of Cards won.
Senior Zhou said. “Sorry, young man.”
Song Yuhu knew Dong Xuebing would lose to Senior Zhou. He collected the winnings and sneered at Dong Xuebing.
Shen Xiaoyan frowned.
Shen Xiaomei took a deep breath. She got more anxious.
Dong Xuebing looked at Senior Zhou deeply. He was more surprised than others. It was as if he knew Senior Zhou’s cards and was confident his royal flush would win. However, when Senior Zhou opened, the cards turned into three of a kind. Dong Xuebing smiled. Fine. This old man had cheated, and he was careless.
They were checking each other in this round.
Dong Xuebing lost in their first exchange.
The crowd started whispering among themselves.
“Ginger gets spicier as it gets older.”
“That’s right. The God of Cards has never lost before.”
“This young man will not win despite getting good cards.”
“Royal Flush versus Three of a Kind. Did these two switch their cards?”
“So what if they switched their cards? Who can tell they cheated? It is not considered cheating if no one catches them.”
Everyone could feel the differences in skill in this round. The God of Cards still has his skills.
Dong Xuebing’s chips became 95 million USD.
He lost a few million USD in a minute. This was faster than Mahjong.
Dong Xuebing thought nothing about it. He looked at Senior Zhou. “You are indeed the God of Cards. It was a good game.”
Senior Zhou waved his hand. “I am not God. This was a nickname given by my friends. You, the new generation, are better.”
The second game started.
Senior Zhou starts again.
He held his cards and did not look at them. “Five Million USD.” He bet the maximum amount.
Dong Xuebing did not wait for Senior Zhou to open his cards. He threw the chips into the pot. “Open.” To open your opponent’s cards, you need to double the bet. But Dong Xuebing did not mind.
Senior Zhou smiled. He rubbed his cards and placed them lightly on the table. K, K, K! He got three of a kind again.
Another three-of-a-kind!
Dong Xuebing also rubbed his cards and turned them over. A, A, and A!
His three-of-a-kind was bigger than Senior Zhou’s.
Zhou Hu’s pupils dilated as he looked at Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing smiled. “Thanks for letting me win, Senior Zhou.”
Shen Xiaoyan and Shen Xiaomei were holding their breaths.
Everyone got jitters as they watched the game. They knew what was going on now. No one could get such good hands every time.
Both did not look at their cards either.
These two were cheating.
They were pitting their cheating skills against each other.
How can they get three-of-a-kind so easily?
Dong Xuebing won a round and got one hundred million USD of chips.
What skills do you all have? How did you all do it? No one saw how you all switched your cards.
Everyone knows the God of Cards is a master at changing cards. But Dong Xuebing is as good as the God of Cards.
This…
Everyone was shocked.
The next game started.
The winner gets to start first. Dong Xuebing threw five million USD into the pot. “Five million USD.”
Senior Zhou told his men to place five million USD into the pot. “Call. Five million.”
Dong Xuebing threw five million USD chips into the pot. “Five Million.”
“Call!” Senior Zhou called.
Dong Xuebing wants to take the initiative and add 10 million USD. “Open!”
Senior Zhou picked up his cards and looked at them. He rubbed them a few times before throwing them down on the table. A, A, A. It’s the biggest Three-of-a-kind.
Senior Zhou won!
Song Yuhu and the rest thought so.
But everyone went silent when Dong Xuebing turned his cards over.
5!
Dong Xuebing got a 5!
This was the smallest card in a 3-cards brag. Any cards six and above can win him. However, five can win against Three-of-a-kind!
The God of Cards lost!
He lost again!
Dong Xuebing won 110 million USD.
Song Yuhu was shocked. “Senior Zhou.”
Senior Zhou narrowed his eyes. “Good game! One more!”
Dong Xuebing smiled. He looked at the shocked dealer.
The dealer composed herself and started shuffling the cards and giving them out.
Senior Zhou dares not to be careless. He picked up his cards immediately and looked at them. Song Yuhu remained emotionless after seeing his cards.
Dong Xuebing did not look at his cards and placed a five million USD bet.
Senior Zhou looked at Dong Xuebing and threw ten million USD into the pot to open Dong Xuebing’s cards.
Dong Xuebing did not look at his cards and turned them over. A, A, A! The biggest three-of-a-kind.
Senior Zhou looked into Dong Xuebing’s eyes and sighed as he threw his cards. He gave up. “Good skills! I am not playing anymore.”
Dong Xuebing replied. “You let me win. Let’s play a few more hands.”
Senior Zhou smiled and waved his hand. “I am old now.”
All the guests were stunned when they heard it.
The God of Cards lost.
Zhou Hu had lost.
What happened? The God of Cards has never lost before.
Everyone looked at Dong Xuebing. This young man is good at card games, too! Even the God of Cards admitted defeat!
