C65 Unparalleled Gambling



C65 Unparalleled Gambling

In a well-soundproofed hall more than five hundred square meters, brightly lit and surrounded by stands, hundreds of well-dressed people with extraordinary bearing sat silently in the stands, patiently waiting for this strange gambling match to begin.    

    

In the middle of the hall, there was a four-meter-long, two-meter-wide oval game table. The table was covered with a green cashmere blanket, and a gorgeous and powerful crystal palace lamp illuminated the game table. Sixteen high-definition cameras were pointing at the game table from different angles, and the images were transmitted to a large screen in real time.    

    

Two large high-backed chairs stood at either end of the long gambling table. The wide backrest ensured that the players' cards were not captured by the cameras.    

    

A Chinese old man wearing a black tailcoat and a red bow tie walked to the center of the hall and saluted the audience:    

    

Hello everyone, my name is Hu Jianhua from Macau, I am from the gambling world. My friend cherishes me, and I am here to present you with a noble title, the king of gambling in Asia. I have received a special invitation from Princess Qian Qian to come here from Macao to judge this gambling competition.    

    

With that, he bowed once again towards the crowd around him, and said: "The participants of this gambling competition, one is the Japanese Kimura Xiong Fu, he managed to create the name of Ghost Hand in the gambling world, the other is a young man from China, his name is Li Yun, according to our reliable investigations, Li Yun has never entered a gambling den before, so we do not have any more detailed information for your reference."    

    

The old man paused for a moment, he looked around and said clearly: "Next, I will announce the betting odds outside of the gambling house. Kimura Xiong Fu's betting rate is 10 to 1, Li Yun's betting rate is 1 to 10. The bet will start in half an hour. Everyone can bet freely from the seats, or you can use your phone to monitor Princess Qian Qian's movements and make a bet. "    

    

With that, the elder bowed and left.    

    

In a VIP lounge, Li Yun and Zhang Kai were discussing. Zhang Kai said anxiously, "It's not that I don't trust you, but what if we all lose, how will we live our days? This ship will sail on the sea for more than a month, all the way to England before we resist the voyage."    

    

Li Yun said calmly, "Believe me, Brother Kai, there's no such thing as a chance. I will deduct 500 million from the bet, and the remaining money will be converted into United States dollars, which is almost 300 million. I've transferred all the money to your account."    

    

"No, I can't listen to you. I know Kimura better than you. This is a gambler who lives by gambling, but this is your first time in a casino. You're not even as experienced as him." Zhang Kai advised patiently.    

    

"Alright, there's no time. I only have one question." Alright, there's no time. Li Yun said resolutely.    

    

Hearing this, Zhang Kai was silent for a while, then said while clenching his teeth, "Alright, I'll listen to you. We're brothers, and we share the same heart, so it's as sharp as breaking gold."    

    

Zhang Kai strode out of the VIP lounge, and with the fastest speed he could muster, he charged towards the place of bets.    

    

As time passed, all the restaurants and bars in the area were full of people. Everyone's eyes were focused on the LCD screens that were broadcasting the bet, and under Princess Qian Qian's promotions, they were all more or less participating in the bet outside the stage.    

    

On the screen, the Gambling King, Hu Jianhua, calmly walked to the notary seat on the left side of the table, and said to the audience in a clear voice, "Friends, guests, ladies and gentlemen, the Gambling Competition is still five minutes away from officially starting. Mr. Kimura and Mr. Lee Yun, in this gambling match, each injected 500 million US dollars, and the total bet outside the stage has already reached 270 billion US dollars. This is truly an unparalleled gambling match."    

    

After saying that, Hu Jianhua reached out his hand, and the camera switched over to the public witness stand. Hu Jianhua's voice came to the ears of the people who were concentrating intently, "Today, we have the honor of inviting Mr. Laurence, chairman of the Las Vegas gamblers' Association, to be our notary."    

    

A man in a black suit, who was over his age with white beard and white hair, stood up and bowed to the audience.    

    

"I also had the pleasure of having a gold medal witness in Las Vegas, Emma Rake, to serve as a notary."    

    

Just as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man with curly moustache and curly blond hair, who was also wearing a black suit, stood up and bowed to the audience.    

    

"The next person to be introduced is the Golden Crown winner of the previous Asian gambling competition, Mr. Shen Chang. He also came today specially to be the notary of the competition."    

    

A Chinese man in a black suit, with a pale face and sharp eyes, raised his voice and cupped his fist towards the audience with a smile, repeatedly greeting them.    

    

Waiting for Shen Chang to take his seat, Hu Jianhua raised his right hand and loudly said, "Next, I will announce that the gambling match between Kimura, Xiong Fu and Li Yun has officially begun. Both contestants are invited to enter."    

    

He saw four waiters wearing white suits pulling open the doors to the VIP lounge at each end of the hall.    

    

The short Kimura Xiong Fu, who wore a white suit and a red bow tie, walked out of the main entrance and bowed to the surrounding audience.    

    

Li Yun wore a black suit and white shirt with a black bow tie on his neck. He slowly walked to the edge of his seat, cupped his fist and bowed towards the surrounding people before returning to his seat.    

    

At this time, Kimura finally completed his big bow. He suddenly realized that Li Yun had already taken his seat and quickly scuttled over to his seat. He viciously glared at Li Yun: "Li Yun, you're too rude. Don't you know you have to wait for senior to take his seat first?"    

    

Li Yun turned his face to Hu Jianhua and lightly asked, "Excuse me, can we start now?"    

    

Hu Jianhua smiled and nodded. With a wave of his hand, a young woman wearing a blue cheongsam embroidered with flowers walked solemnly to the center of the table. She was about 1.75 meters tall and had a transparent card shuffle in her hands.    

    

The dealer quickly unwrapped all the cards and skillfully displayed the front and back sides of each cards on the gambling table for both parties to check.    

    

When both sides had expressed no objection, the female dealer, in front of both sides, placed five poker cards in succession, the back of which was blue, up, and into the card washer. Press a small button below.    

    

Through the transparent shell, everyone could see that the five sets of cards in the card shuffling machine were rotating at high speeds, the cards were randomly inserted and the five sets of cards were completely disrupted. No matter how good one's memory was, they were unable to remember any of the cards.    

    

Three minutes later, the dealer stopped the machine and checked to see if there were any objections between the two parties. He then asked, "Which of you wants the first card?"    

    

Kimura said arrogantly, "Send me first."    

    

The dealer turned to Li Yun, who nodded silently.    

    

So the dealer began to hand out cards. First he gave each of them a dark card, then he gave Kimura a Plum Blossom A and Li Yun a Red Heart Q.
