Chapter 162 (2/2)

Noah checked his cards and said Mason also checked his three cards and asked,

“What did you learn?”

“What I learned was-…,”

Aave a new card to Mason and said

“If I have so a hole first A hole so deep and spacious that, it would walk into it by itself, and still not realize if it was a trap or not

“…That’s a little dismal”

‘To think like that, just because he couldn’t get what he once wanted?’ Noah looked at Mason, as thinking he doesn’t get people who have got everything, with his chin on his hand and smiled

“I became an adult”

Mason glireed, “Well, it can be interpreted like that too,” and checked his cards

Before the last card was spun, Mason had three saood hand and if the last card were a 6 of diamond, it would be a four card, or if it's not, it can at least be a full house

Noah’s flipped some cards, a 2 and 4 of spades and an ace of dia, but the only chances of hiher hand than Mason would be if he had a straight flush

Mason gli Noah’s expression before the last card was revealed

At that ti sound fro a two-piece suit appeared

“Theit later?”

“-What should we do?”

‘Should we a the stacked chips on the table, and Mason shrugged with an indifferent face

“Bring it 10to end soon”

The woman politely bowed and left It was then that, Mason’s stare, which returned fro the cards It was nothing outrageous, so Mason diverted his stare and clicked his tongue with an indifferent expression

Ten years ago, when Mason was teaching Noah about cards, there were a few cute tricks that he taught him One of the it on top of the stack and then swipe another from below It was a flimsy trick, but could be useful if one was skillful- however, Noah was a little inexperienced with tricks, andopponent

Noah divided the last set for both sides Mason checked the last card, out of habit Six of diamond

“Since it’s the last ga?”

Mason observed Noah’s eyes They had a strange glow It was as if he was expecting or looking for so

‘What should I do?’ He could’ve just pointed out Noah’s trick If he guessed that Noah had flipped the cards and talked about the trick, instead of getting uidly smile and hand over the yacht

Or, end this gaain He won’t do the trick in the next round, and that round could be the actual last round

“Mmm, all in?”

But Mason made an unpleasant face and tossed his cards on the table, facing down

“Ah-, you totally win The Goddess of victory seemed to have abandoned me”

What yacht? Mason said, “I never won this kind of a prize in hed and stood up Just like the 11 million dollars, Noah’s yacht was pitiful, but it wasn’t like it was hard to give up If you think about it, paying anchorage fees and maintenance fees would really have bankrupted hiuy to come and buy it, but this beautiful yacht really suited Noah

Also about Noah, anted to win using such tricks, he didn’t want to make him lose

He stood up and turned his gaze and stretched his body He noticed that the sky, which was blue, had started to drop thin strings of rain at some point

At the horizon, a black rain cloud appeared Mason walked over to the fence He saw a clear borderline of blue sky, but the dark clouds werefast

It looked like it wastowards the shi+p-, Mason tried to point that out and , “What do you mean you don’t have luck-,” behind his back

“Even throwing away your four cards?”

Mason flinched and turned around Noah was checking Mason’s cards that were lying face down

“It seems like you knehat kind of cards I held?”

He raised his head and stared at Mason and s sharply and coldly When Masonto make an excuse, Noah flipped his cards

Spades 2 and 4, hearts 7 and 8, an ace of diamond, a 9 and Jack of clubs It was a hand that didn’t even have one pair

Mason stared at his cards, sed his dried throat and raised his head

“…-I was not confident that I can pay the anchorage fees”

“Ahhh-, yes, of course”

Noah said lightly, as ifhis eyes Mason kept staring at Noah’s sweet green eyes, which was bent as if in satisfaction; he slowly looked back

“…”

The raindrops, which had been falling sparsely around the shi+p, had grown a little stronger at some point The black clouds fro scarily high, and black things h alive and cover the blue sky, ready to devour it

“Oh no It seems like there’ll be a storm”

Noah said in a languid voice, and Mason tasted so his indifferent face He re into an enemy’s booby-trap, naked Unfortunately, it see, and Mason realized he had fallen into a trap

He kneas trapped, but didn’t knohat kind of trap it was, and how it’ll i he could do at this point was to just stay calm and hunker down until the other side reveals itself

Just like when you meet a storm on a shi+p and hope that it’d be small and wait for it to pass soon

“I see”

Mason said plainly and shrugged his shoulders The whole sky was covered in black clouds It was a storm
