The Genius System Without Equal

Chapter 485: Oh f*ck

As they watched anxiously, Su Li and Shen Qingyan couldn’t help thinking that Xiao Luo was only pushing his luck and trying to gain a psychological edge against Leon. They remained silent and did not want to distract Xiao Luo in any way, so they just stood there and watched.

“Just what kind of gambling style is this?” Leon asked, staring at Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo laughed and said, “The kind of gambling style where you burn your bridge! We’ll decide this in a single round. If you’ve never tried this before, then I shall let you have a taste of it.”

Leon clenched his fists tightly. A hundred million was definitely something to him, especially since it was gambling. He would definitely not sleep in peace for a good three days and nights if he were to lose a hundred million just like this.

As he took another look at his face down card, he relaxed his clenched fists—it was a Two of Clubs. With a smile, he said, “Mr. Xiao, you are really daring. I’ll let you have this round. I shall not call.”

After he said that, he folded his cards.

The next round began, and the dealer gave each of them a face down card. For the second card, Leon had a Seven of Clubs while Xiao Luo had a King of Spades.

As Xiao Luo had the bigger face up card, the dealer raised his hand and said, “Mr. Xiao, you shall go first!”

“There’s no need to say anything else, all in,” Xiao Luo said. He once again pushed out the whole heap of gambling chips that were as tall as a mountain without any expression on his face.

What the f*ck!

The dealer and all the other staff in the room stared at Xiao Luo with their eyes opened wide. Just who in the world was this guy? Even the world’s richest man wouldn’t play like that. Only two cards had been dealt, and he was ready to throw money away so recklessly?

Leon was perplexed. The psychological warfare that he took pride in had suffered a considerable blow. Xiao Luo was not giving him any chance to show himself at all by forcing him to bet. He really wanted to go all out against Xiao Luo, but looking at his face down card, a three of diamonds, he realized it couldn’t get any smaller than that. There was no way he was bold enough to do this.

“I’ll let you have another round,” he said, reluctantly folding his cards again.

All the betting chips went to Xiao Luo, and the staff in the private room once again neatly stacked up all the gambling chips that Xiao Luo had.

The trend continued for the third, fourth, fifth, all the way up to the tenth round—Xiao Luo, without even bothering to look at his face down card, continued to push his entire pile of gambling chips out o the middle. His stacks of chips had grown even higher, and his mountain of cash ever more imposing. And he repeated the same move every time—he would always open the bet right after the second card had been dealt. Sometimes, Leon would not even have the time to properly look at his face down card before Xiao Luo made his bet.

Leon was furious, and he could barely take it anymore. But unfortunately for Leon, right through all these rounds, the value of his two cards had been lower than Xiao Luo’s, and he just couldn’t get a pair, so he ended up folding all his cards in successive rounds.

Frustrated, Leon laughed mockingly and said, “Mr. Xiao, are you trying to see who’s luckier here? Are you just not afraid that in the end, your cards will end up being smaller than mine?”

“If that’s the case, then why don’t you just call?” Xiao Luo retorted.

“I…”

Leon was stumped for words. All he felt was only frustration and depression. To think that he was a master gambler from North America, and yet here he was being treated roughshod by a nameless country bumpkin. It was simply too insulting.

Su Li and Shen Qingyan also realized what Xiao Luo’s aim was. Though it might be hard to believe, Xiao Luo had indeed completely thrown Leon right off his rhythm at the moment.

When it came to playing poker, gamblers were competing with both luck and courage!

After ten rounds, Leon had already lost ten million as he had to fold every single round.

The eleventh round began, and the dealer dealt out the cards. This time around, Xiao Luo once again pushed out his whole heap of gambling chips out as usual.

Leon looked at Xiao Luo’s card—he had an Ace. Leon had a Queen of Hearts and proceeded to peek at his face down card. It was a King of Hearts. Thankfully, his cards were much better—there was a chance for a flush here, and there was also a possibility that he might get a straight flush. This round, he chose to call. It was unacceptable that a nameless guy like Xiao Luo could get away with such arrogance.

RATTLE~

He pushed out the entire heap of gambling chips in front of him. This time around, he was found his confidence back, and it felt satisfying.

“Looks like we’ll decide the winner in this round!” Leon roared.

“Sure, but I have a hundred and ten million. You’re still short of a bit there,” Xiao Luo reminded him.

“You think you have that much more than me?”

Leon handed his black card to his subordinate and said, “Go now. Go and exchange another two hundred million.”

Two hundred million?

Everyone in the room was stunned, especially the dealer and all the staff in the room. It was as if they were destined to be here today only to witness this shocking duel of cards. It was true that the more you compare yourself to others, the more you would be killing yourself, for they probably wouldn’t be able to earn this much money even in two lifetimes.

“Young master, this…”

The subordinate was troubled. Adding the hundred and twenty million earlier on, the total now added up to three hundred and twenty million. This was still a really huge sum of money, even if it was not in USD.

“What’s the problem here?” Leon said coldly.

“The family is keeping a close watch on all the young masters. Now is the most crucial period. If young master Leon loses three hundred million, the family will be very disappointed with you. Then, they most probably won’t hand over the family business to you in the future,” the subordinate explained, appealing for Leon to err towards caution.

Although he spoke in English, everyone could understand what he just said.

“You shut your mouth!”

Leon bellowed and silenced his subordinate with a ferocious scowl on his face. “My words are orders. Just do as you’re told. Otherwise, I’ll have you disappear from this world for good,” he snarled.

“Yes.”

That subordinate trembled and no longer dared to say anything else. He quickly took the black card and went to exchange for more gambling chips.

Leon turned around and faced Su Li. He changed his expression and put on a smile on his face. “Sabrina, actually, I have absolutely no idea what he was saying,” he said.

“Leon, I think it’s better to give up. We were schoolmates; I don’t want this to end up in conflict because of small things like this,” Su Li said, making a compelling point.

“No, no, no. I’ve already said it before. This is just ‘small gambling.’ It’s good for the spirits. Even if I lose all my money, it will not affect the friendship between you and me, and all the more won’t affect the partnership that we have already established,” Leon replied. He was doing all he could to hold on. He had the advantage in this round, and there was no way he would give up and let Xiao Luo off that easily.

Xiao Luo laughed and said, “Well said, Mr. Leon! A little bit of gambling is good for the spirits!”

He had already learned a secret gambling trick when he was in Jiangcheng and had the ability to memorize all the cards in a poker deck. No matter how the dealer shuffled the cards earlier on, he never looked away from this deck of cards. He had perfectly memorized the cards’ order in this deck and already knew what card Leon had. Xiao Luo also knew what card he would be receiving next. It was as if he had X-Ray eyes. He had already seen through it all and knew how this round was going to end.

“Mr. Xiao, I’ve already asked my man to exchange two hundred million, shouldn’t you go and exchange a little bit more as well?” Leon said, insinuating with a cheeky smile on his face.

“I’m not like you, Mr. Leon, I’m not that wealthy. I don’t have that much money.”

What Xiao Luo just said was true. While Luo Workshop might have the money, and it was possible to transfer billions of dollars over, the amount of money he had from in his own savings wasn’t a lot. Besides, he was also currently investing in the farm back at home.

Su Li took out her gold card without any hesitation and handed it over to the staff. “Please do exchange two hundred million for me, thank you,” she said.

“Alright, please give me a moment, Ma’am.”

The staff took the card, turned around, and left. All of them recognized Su Li, but there was a rule in this casino, and that was to pretend you didn’t know who they were, even if that person was a national leader. Only people with money and status would come to this casino. Poor people would never come to an exclusive place like this.

“What are you doing?”

Xiao Luo stared at Su Li blankly. Xiao Luo still could not consider themselves as husband and wife, yet this woman was so supportive of him right now, and it felt unreal.

“I’m lending it to you. If you lose it, you will have to somehow or rather find a way to return it for the rest of your life,” Su Li said. She had an awkward look on her face.

Shen Qingyan laughed and said, “What do you mean by return? You’re one family; after all, what’s yours is his as well.”

“What kind of rubbish are you saying…”

Su Li rebuked her friend for those remarks, but after listening to what Shen Qingyan had said, her face started turning red.

“Oh f*ck!”

Leon’s lungs were about to explode. After holding back all this while he finally cursed using a slang word on the internet. It felt like he was being forced to consume a bowl of dog food, except that the dog food he ate belonged to the girl he liked. The taste of it was horribly wrong.
