Chapter 747 Could She Win (Part Four) (1/2)
The man creased his eyebrows. He looked at his hole card again, thinking that Molly must be bluffing. The woman did not even look at her hole card, he thought. Clenching his teeth, he tossed three transparent rectangular chips which were valued at ten thousand each. ”I call. Show your card.” Then he turned his downward face card up and said, ”I'm a full house. I doubt you're that lucky to have four of a kind.”
The onlookers were excited by this. Molly smiled. She put her fingers on her card and turned it slowly. Under everyone's nose, under the monitor, what was initially a five turned into a Q.
”She really has four of a kind!” someone cried in joy. Everyone was amazed by the turn of events. Some people envied her good fortune, though, some were quick to be suspicious that she might have cheated. Nevertheless, everyone knew that cheating was forbidden in Grand Night Casino. If card sharps were caught, they would lose their hands for it before they could walk out of the casino.
The man cursed over his bad luck, and participated in the next round.
Time ticked by, and Molly won most of the rounds. Chips in front of her were starting to pile up. But she had begun to get the attention of more people behind the surveillance cameras.
Shane and Jason were watching the monitor in the supervision room. ”Aim all the surveillance equipment at her,” Jason demanded, ”and I want all the data analysis, now!”

”What does the analysis say?” Jason asked. He drummed his fingers impatiently.
One of his men finally provided an answer, ”That she's not cheating.”
Jason frowned incredulously. He walked to the monitor, and replayed the surveillance footage. Nothing was found suspicious.
”She reminds me of someone,” Shane declared. ”Chester!” he added, as Jason turned his head to him in wonder.
”Chester?
That can't be.” Jason was astonished. ”Didn't he retire?”
”Just because he's retired, doesn't mean he didn't have a few disciples,” Shane replied, his facial expression changing. ”She got me hooked. Open the VIP room. I want to meet her,” he said, before turning around and made his way towards the door.

Sitting on one side of the table with an indifferent disposition, Molly took a small sip of the sparkling wine. She let the drink linger in her mouth, before swallowing it, satisfied with the splendid flavor. ”I hear that the people who win against you can meet Mr. Brian Long. Is it true?” she asked.
”Yes,” Shane responded with a thin smile. ”Is that what you want?” he asked, tilting his head at her. ”A meeting with Mr. Brian Long?”
”Of course,” Molly replied with a nod, her voice soft as a spring breeze. ”Did you expect that I came
