The Genius System Without Equal

Chapter 484: Bold

Is Xiao Luo going for the same bluff again? This guy really has the guts!

Su Li and Shen Qingyan glanced anxiously at Xiao Luo. He was lucky enough to fool Leon in the previous round, but wasn’t he just kidding himself if he tried it again? Leon was not that dumb and would undoubtedly not fall for the same trick twice.

“I have an Ace and a pair of Sevens. For you to beat me, your face down card has to be an Eight,” Leon said.

Then he eyed Xiao Luo confidently as he flipped his face down card over and shouted, “Show me your card! I refuse to believe that you have an eight!”

Xiao Luo shook his head and responded, “Mr. Leon, the odds of the final Eight being in my possession might be very low, but it doesn’t mean that it’s entirely impossible.”

After saying that, he slowly turned over the face down card that he had.

And, there it was—he actually had an Eight of Clubs!

At the sight of Xiao Luo’s face down card, Leon’s eyes opened wide in bewilderment. He could not believe what he saw and literally sprang up from his seat bolt upright.

Su Li and Shen Qingyan were equally shocked by the looks of disbelief on their faces.

“How is this possible?”

Shen Qingyan muttered to herself as a wry smile formed on her face. She could never have imagined that Xiao Luo actually had the card and was not playing a bluff. An opponent who could effortlessly shift between being real and fake was always the toughest customer. Xiao Luo was just amazing, no matter what he did.

BAM!

Leon slammed the table, pointed at Xiao Luo, and shouted, “Out with it, did you cheat?”

“I can assure you that this gentleman here did not cheat!” the dealer intervened.

“Are you a senior here? Who are you to guarantee he didn’t cheat?” Leon sneered.

The dealer took out his certificate, “Mister, you can insult me, but don’t insult my professional ethics. I’m a gold-tier dealer. No one can cheat, and nothing escapes my eyes.”

“You little sh*t, you better…”

“Leon, if you’re nothing but a sore loser, then I’ll have my husband return you all that money.”

Annoyed, Su Li bluntly delivered her scathing remarks to Leon.

Leon suddenly laughed as he came to his sense and calmed down. “Sabrina, are you mocking me on purpose here? It’s just twenty million. This small amount of money is nothing to me at all,” he said, “Since I’m ready to gamble, then I’m ready to accept my losses as well. There’s nothing more I can say.”

But in reality, he was fuming deep down. In just ten minutes, he had already lost twenty million, and he had lost it to a nameless brat from some godforsaken countryside. If the people back in America were to find out, they would surely be laughing their *sses off.

“Mr. Leon is wealthy enough. Twenty million to him is insignificant and just small change. It’s just like a strand of hair on a cow’s back, am I right?” Xiao Luo chimed in.

“Right, right, right. It’s a small bet, just a small bet. A little bit of gambling is good for the spirits.”

Leon outwardly agreed with everything Xiao Luo said, but deep down, he was crying his pain, and it was a wonder that he was still able to say something like that.

Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows and smiled at Leon’s response. “Mr. Leon, you are really good at conversing in Mandarin. That being the case, why don’t you raise your spirits a little bit more?” he asked.

“We’ve only played two rounds. This is nothing at all. Let us continue.”

Leon handed his black card over to one of his subordinates and told him, “Go, exchange a hundred million dollars’ worth of chips for me.”

One hundred million?

Su Li furrowed her eyebrows a little. One hundred million was no longer just “a little gambling.” Was Leon trying to make Xiao Luo lose everything he had right here and now?

When that thought occurred to her, Su Li glared coldly at Leon.

“Mr. Leon, you said ‘small gambling,’ but the amount that you’re throwing in is becoming a lot bigger now,” Shen Qingyan teased.

“Hehehe… Nah, just small gambling. This is really just small gambling to me.”

Leon looked at Xiao Luo with a devious smile on his face and said, “Mr. Xiao, I’m betting a hundred million here, but at most, you would only have forty-five million in your hands at most right now. You’re still short of fifty-five million in order to have the same amount as me. I wonder if you have that much money with you?”

He was obviously mocking his opponent in the way he spoke. He wanted to show Xiao Luo and remind him of his position and where he stood—and that he had no right to be arrogant in his presence.

“I’ll give you mine!” Su Li pushed all the gambling chips she had toward Xiao Luo.

Shen Qingyan smiled when she saw Su Li do that and said, “Since I’ve already exchanged so much but am not playing, then I shall also lend you all of mine. I think highly of you.”

Saying that she handed all her gambling chips over to Xiao Luo.

With their contributions, Xiao Luo now had a total of eighty million!

Leon’s face turned bluish purple. He could accept Shen Qingyan helping Xiao Luo out, but he found it difficult to swallow when Su Li actually sided with Xiao Luo as well. She was the goddess that was deep within his heart, and it hurt him deeply. He initially thought that the marriage between them was fake, to begin with, they were doing it for others to see, but looking at it now, Su Li seemed to really like this piece of trash!

He raised his voice on purpose and said, “You’re still short of twenty million.”

“That’s alright. I have that amount here with me.”

Xiao Luo handed his card over to one of the wait staff in the room and said, “May I trouble you to go and exchange twenty million dollars’ worth of chips for me.”

“Yes, Sir,” the staff responded, nodding his head and bowing respectfully before he turned around and left.

“How come even I didn’t know you had that much money?” Su Li said, staring at Xiao Luo suspiciously.

Xiao Luo laughed and said, “You’ve never asked me about it before.”

Su Li repeated herself. “So, where is it from?”

“I earned it when I was in Jiangcheng,” Xiao Luo replied.

Jiangcheng?

Su Li was stunned and wondered to herself, why was he living in a shanty area then if he was that rich?

“Xiao Luo, you’re becoming more and more mysterious. Now I’m really curious to know what you did when you were in Jiangcheng,” Shen Qingyan said.

From the first time she saw Xiao Luo, she knew something different about this guy. When he first met Yang Hongzhi and her, he was neither humble nor arrogant and was always calm and steady. This was not a trait many people out there had. If it wasn’t because he had experienced many things in life, then it had to be because he was of equal status. But it was quite evident that it was most probably the former. She was really interested and curious to find out just what in the world Xiao Luo had been through in Jiangcheng.

Xiao Luo laughed a little but didn’t say anything else.

Not too long after, his gambling chips were brought in.

A hundred million dollars’ worth of gambling chips was sitting right in front of each player. They were neatly stacked, looking just like two pyramids.

“Deal the cards!” Leon said. He couldn’t wait to win all of Xiao Luo’s money and was steadily staring at Xiao Luo.

The dealer raised both of his hands, “May the two players here, please place your bets first.”

Leon smiled broadly and winked. “Since I have a hundred million, let’s raise the bet a little bit. One million. I don’t think Mr. Xiao has any problem with that,” he said.

“It’s up to you.”

Xiao Luo casually threw one million dollars’ worth of chips out.

This piece of trash! I shall see how much longer you can act so cockily like this!

Leon gritted his teeth and threw a million dollars’ worth of gambling chips out as well.

The dealer started giving out the cards. He dealt the first card face down card to both of them, and then the second card. Leon had a Nine of Diamonds, while Xiao Luo had an Eight of Diamonds. According to the rules of poker, the one with the bigger card would start first.

Leon took a look at his face down card and realized that it was a two of clubs, and then with a smile that no one could read, he said, “Five million!”

As he said that, he threw five million dollars’ worth of gambling chips out.

“I’ll call—five million as well.”

Xiao Luo pushed out five million dollars’ worth of chips, and then added, “I’ll raise ninety-five million as well.”

What?!

Like a mountain, multiple stacks of gambling chips were pushed out without any hesitation at all.

What the f*ck!

The dealer and everyone watching in the room was stunned. This was the first time they were witnessing such an aggressive approach to gambling. The way he was playing this was unbelievably high-risk.

Leon twitched his lips. Xiao Luo’s action had really shocked him for sure.

Su Li and Shen Qingyan were in a stupor. Only two cards had been dealt, and Xiao Luo had the smaller face up card. Where did this guy find the kind of courage to go all in like that? This was not only one or two dollars—it was one hundred million. If he lost this, then one hundred million would be gone just like that!
