NIKKE, when the stars bloom

Besides, with his ability, it shouldn't be a problem for him to survive for five years. With his military merits and the support of our family, it's not impossible for him to grab the position of deputy commander before he turns 45."

"So that's it..."

After hearing his sister's explanation, Decker Lawrence curled his lips in disdain.

"After talking for so long, I finally fell in love with him."

"Um--???"

“No no no no!!!”

Feeling the sinister gaze directed at him again, the dandy boy quickly shook his head like a big rattle and emphasized:

"Cooperative marriage, a perfect cooperative marriage! It's a win-win situation. Sister, with him around, he will definitely help you get the position of head of the family."

"Oh, you can be cunning, but this is not at home, so don't say anything out loud, remember that."

As the brother and sister were talking, the elevator had already arrived at the third floor of the casino.

Then, with the waiters on both sides welcoming them respectfully, the two of them walked gracefully into the casino hall.

When the real iron and wooden door was opened from both sides by the waiter, the first scene that came into view was a gambling table surrounded by people in three layers inside and outside.

There was no need for Cormine to speak, as the lackey immediately asked the waiter with a keen eye, saying:

"What's going on over there?"

"Mr. Lawrence, that's the gambling game between Mr. Phoenix and Mr. Haig. It's quite exciting, so it attracted a lot of guests to watch."

"Oh?"

Can this gambling be divided into exciting and not exciting?

Decker didn't believe it, so he decided to go and see.

right,

Take his sister along "by the way".

……

……

"Raise, one million."

"I'll give you one million."

On the gambling table, chips of various colors were piled up randomly in the center of the table like a small mountain.

After a two-and-a-half-hour battle, Phoenix, worth 24 million, and Ramo Haig, worth 3.7 million, finally entered the one-on-one stage.

As for why no new players join, it is not because others are afraid to join the table, but because everyone understands the current situation.

These two commanders must be at odds with each other.

Instead of getting involved without knowing the rules, it is better to be a spectator and watch a thrilling gold coin poker heads-up match for free.

……

……

Put your focus back on the game.

After a few minutes of follow-up bets, the current cards have entered the third round, that is, both parties hold a hole card and three public cards.

Among them, Phoenix's public card is [Q, Q, 7], while Ramo Haig's public card is [A, A, 2]

When the public card types are consistent, A has the highest weight, so Haig's [A, A, 2] is undoubtedly more oppressive than Phoenix's [Q, Q, 7].

As for the chips, after both sides added one and one together, the current amount is 2.8 million each, for a total of 5.6 million.

This number is not common in the limited betting area.

However, the official didn't care about it. Seeing that the two players didn't say anything, he continued to deal cards.

With a flick of the professional's wrist, a 9 floated in front of Haig along the cashmere gambling table, causing a sigh.

【?A,?A,?2,?9】

With this type of hand, the highest you can get is three of a kind, the lowest is a pair, and if you're a little luckier you might get two pairs.

To put it simply, the five cards in Heiger's hand are the three levels from the lowest to the highest, excluding the single card.

——Pairs—two pairs—three of a kind.

So, next we have to see what Phoenix’s last public notice card is.

crop--

When the poker slid across the table and stopped in front of the man, an Ace was displayed under the elegant light.

Wow——!

Discussions and exclamations arose.

【?Q, ?Q, ?7, ?A】

The card pattern is still the same as [?A, ?A, ?2, ?9], which means that the gambling game between the two parties is still in a thick fog and it is impossible to tell who is better or worse.

The exciting gambling session.

about to start.

……

"Does table number five want to follow up?"

"Further bet, 900,000."

After readily stating the amount of the additional bet, Mr. Phoenix naturally winked at Bran beside him.

And what about the white rabbit?

She, who had changed from a guide to a personal assistant, picked up a fifty and two twenty chips obediently, then pinched them between her fingers, waved to the audience mischievously, and then threw the chips into the center of the gambling table.

Nine hundred thousand.

There is nothing wrong with this number itself.

But everyone is not stupid. Commander Haig has a total of 3.7 million, minus the 2.8 million he raised, the total number of chips left is exactly 900,000.

This guy……

He wants to take all my money with interest???

Heiger, who had a 9 in his hole card and a hand pattern of [A, A, 2, 9, *9], subconsciously adjusted his sitting posture, and his round eyes like copper bells stared at Phoenix's thumb that was flipping the hole card.

Snap, snap, snap—

Is he kidding me?

Snap, snap, snap—

No, that's not right. He has more than 20 million chips and he can afford to lose, so his raise of 900,000 may be intended to force me to fold.

Snap, snap, snap—

So why didn't he just raise the bet by a million?

The cards hit the table in a rhythm almost in sync with Ramon Haig's heartbeat, so much so that the bald man moved his elbows in annoyance and changed his sitting position again.

No, that's not right.

It would be easy for people to see that I was just putting on airs if I directly raised the bet by one million. Once I saw through it, I could just blow up the situation.

So 900,000 is indeed the best number for the follow-up bet.

Snap, snap, snap—

He was picking the cards again, as he often did when he was nervous...

That’s right, he is also unsure of my cards.

"Call, nine hundred thousand."

Pushing the last stack of chips to the center of the gambling table and listening to the pleasant clattering sound of the chips, at this moment, Ramo Haig swept away the anxiety in his mind and felt that his body and mind were so happy that they were about to reach the pinnacle of superbness.

Among those chips, there was not only the money he won...

And the wealth he made from selling Nikki's death records.

In the chip pool in front, the extremely excited Heig seemed to see Nikkis popping out from under the table. They were crawling, screaming, crying, and wailing, covered in blood. Some of them had no lower limbs, and some had lost half of their bodies...

What an exciting picture!

"Raise the bet. Twenty, three hundred thousand."

Wow——! ! !

At this moment, the sound of a man raising the bet ruthlessly interrupted Haig's fantasy, and the audience's exclamation at the amount tugged at his nerves.

however,

It's not over yet.

Phoenix suddenly grabbed an emerald chip and threw it directly onto Hegge's desk. His tone was filled with excitement that was countless times crazier than his own. He was so excited that even his voice was trembling and distorted.

"Keep raising it, one finger."

boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, the crazy lieutenant raised his right leg and stepped onto the gambling table.

Then, in front of everyone, the man standing at the gambling table stepped over the chip pool, walked in front of Haig, squatted down, and smiled as he reached out and patted the bald man's face.

"Hey, do you want to continue playing?"

……

……

Snap, snap, snap...

The crisp sound of slapping echoed over the silent casino, not only hitting Ramo Haig's face, but also hitting the hearts of the spectators.

They have seen people who lost everything at the gambling table and became hysterical, and they have also seen people who collapsed and screamed because they had nothing, but they have never seen a madman who would actively all in 20 million and then continue to add one finger to the bet.

Who is he?

Did you play too crazy?

However, no one was actually alarmed by Phoenix's bloody proposal.

Many of them were like the ticket-buying spectators in the stands of the Colosseum, looking at the dazed Ramon Haig with expectant eyes.

加？

Or not add it?

……

Snap, snap, snap——

Feeling the slap on his face, Heger gradually came back to his senses from the shock, and his face full of fat began to tremble with a burning feeling called "anger".

It had been a long time since he had been humiliated like this, and he was humiliated in front of so many upper-class people.

Snapped!

Raising his hand and slapping Phoenix's arm away, the bald commander growled grimly:

"How dare you bluff me?!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Phoenix took over the conversation calmly.

"So that means gambling?"

"?"

After saying that, the man grabbed Haig's right wrist and then slammed it onto the gambling table.

boom--!

"Blaner, show your cards."

Hearing Mr. Phoenix's instructions, the confused White Rabbit blinked stupidly, and after a while he responded:

"Got it! Got it!"
