Chapter 486 - Four of a Kind (2/2)

Seeing that Xiao Luo had called him on his bet, Leon felt a little insecure as three hundred million was no small amount. His subordinate had already cautioned him that if he were to lose that sum, the higher-ups in his family would be extremely disappointed in him. It would undoubtedly prevent him from inheriting the enormous family estate consisting of properties and businesses.

Leon stared at Xiao Luo coldly and said, “Well, Mr. Xiao, if you ever lose this three hundred million, you probably would have to work your *ss off the rest of your life to repay the debt.”

“Nah, it’s just a little money. It’s not a lot!” Xiao Luo quipped.

Both Su Li and Shen Qingyan almost faint when they heard that. If three hundred million was just a little, then what was considered a lot?

Leon smiled mirthlessly as he thought to himself—keep boasting… you can keep bragging, and we shall see what happens when your bubble bursts!

He then shouted at the dealer, “Cards!”

This was the last card, and it was as crucial as the pocket card; the dealer slid the players their cards across the table facing down.

Leon covered the fifth card with another card and peeked as he slowly rubbed the cards together, exposing the bottom one. As he did so, beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead, and he did not even dare to breathe. When Leon saw that the exposed corner of the card, he knew it was a Seven. His heart sank. But when he revealed the card further, he was somewhat elated as it turned out to be Seven of Hearts. He let out a sigh of relief and flipped the card over slowly.

“Although it’s not a straight flush, it’s still a flush. It’s more than enough to beat you. By the way, what’s your last card? Why don’t you flip it over?”

“I’m afraid you won’t like it.”

Having said that, Xiao Luo opened his card with a confident smile, and it was none other than Ace of Spades. He had now gathered three aces, and if his pocket card turned out to be the Ace of Diamonds, it would constitute a “four of a kind,” which was bigger than a flush.

Leon was stressed out, suddenly feeling thirsty, and he broke into a cold sweat. He wondered how this b*stard could be so lucky to have landed three aces. If his pocket card was also an ace, then… no, it couldn’t possibly be happening; there’s no way a man could be that lucky to gather four aces at one go, for the probability was too low. No, he wouldn’t have it.

He flipped his pocket card over. To cover up the fear in his mind, he shouted, “Stop being dodgy, show your hand! I don’t believe you have that ace!”

Both Su Li and Shen Qingyan stared at Xiao Luo with trepidation as the moment had come to show his hand. If it were really Ace of Diamonds, then it would be Xiao Luo’s victory. Otherwise, Leon would win in every other scenario. Although they were not the players, they felt more even nervous than anyone else!

“The probability of gathering four aces is indeed very low, but I stick to what I have said before—a low probability doesn’t mean an impossibility.”

Xiao Luo seemed like he knew what the result would be, and he flipped the pocket card with high confidence. Lo and behold, it was the Ace of Diamonds! “Four of a kind, and it happens to be bigger than your flush. Good game, Mr. Leon,” he said.

Impossible, how is this even possible!

Leon leaned back on the chair and looked utterly miserable, his eyes empty and forlorn. He gazed at Xiao Luo in disbelief like he was staring at a monster, and on his face, there was nothing but shock.

“Are you okay, Mr. Leon?” Shen Qingyan asked. Leon’s face had turned a dreadful pale, and she wanted to make sure that he did not collapse on the spot.

“I…I’m fine. Thanks for your concern, Ms. Demi…” Leon responded. He looked down with his eyes reddened as he realized the magnitude of his loss.

Xiao Luo felt very much at ease, and he did not forget to mock Leon for his predicament. “Mr. Leon is indeed from an affluent house. A mere three hundred million is like nothing to you. Yes, isn’t this so recreational, Mr. Leon?”

Recreational?

F*ck you $%@%^$…

Leon almost vomited blood from anger, for it had never crossed his mind that things would turn out this way. All he wanted to do was to win over Xiao Luo’s savings and give them to Su Li to fulfill his aim of belittling Xiao Luo and, at the same, elevating his own image to impress her. However, with the awkward situation he suddenly found himself in, he couldn’t help spewing out a barrage of expletives at Xiao Luo to vent his anger.
