Chapter 275: Pull Yourself Together

The player would give a slight indentation at the edge of the card with his thumb's nail. The most important thing was to do it as gently as possible so that no one could notice. To the trained eye, however, these marks could be seen easily. 

But the dealer himself also had his own way such as hiding cards, second deals, peeking etc.

In the first round, this did not produce too many interesting events, and it seemed like Rossa and the others tried to see Ryan's ability by betting small.

Finally, the first round had been completed, Ryan still had as much as 80 chips while Rossa led by having as many as 110.

After confirming it in the first round, Rossa got serious. The stakes wagered in this game were not cheap with each player giving 2 billion to the pot. So the winner would bag 8 billion.

The second round then started and Rossa began to volunteer. The beautiful woman managed to bust in one bet. With her card counting, she got blackjack when she bet a lot.

Now Rossa had 170 chips, Ryan with 120 chips and the middle-aged man with 110. 

The third round started and the middle-aged man was the dealer. The situation was quite worrying, enough for either Ryan or Rossa to do 'all in' then the man would bust.

During this third round, Ryan still had a calm face and, without people realizing it, his hands had been filled with his inner strength for a long time. After a few rounds, finally the middle-aged man also busted and now the rest of chips belonging to Ryan and Rossa were 180 and 220.

"I wonder why you still have such a calm face?" Rossa asked.

"Are you accusing me of counting cards like you?" Ryan replied with a smile.

Rossa was silent and now she was the dealer.

The viewers were already holding their breath, the ultimate battle had arrived!

Rossa still didn't know what tricks Ryan used during this game. What was certain was that the bet made by the guy was really perfect. When the card was bad, he placed a low bet by chance and when the card was good, he increased it to 3-4 times from before.

But this didn't matter to her that much. No matter what, she's the one holding the deck of cards and controlling the game. Her experience as a magician had made her master how to shuffle cards perfectly and remember all the cards at one glance. Not to mention that her second deal trick was never caught before.

"Pull yourself together and play as usual," Thought Rossa in her mind.

After a few turns, Rossa's trick worked smoothly and now Ryan's chips were 80.

However, the man's face still looked calm, and this made Rossa even more worried. Did this guy still have some other tricks?

Little did she know this was precisely what Ryan wanted.

From the start, Ryan had figured out the tricks that Rossa used. That woman was really good at exploiting loopholes, it was clear that she had been in the gambling world for a long time.

Things like this were what made Ryan hate gambling. He hated how much people believed in their ability to deceive others but eventually lost everything.

There's nothing wrong in cheating when you know you've been cheated, right?

Seeing Rossa's nervousness getting bigger, Ryan believed this was the right time to play the trick. During the first 3 rounds, he had marked cards with his inner power. This could only be seen by him and ordinary people would never notice it.

To be honest, he could have won from the start of the third round but he decided to play along with the game. Why? It was clear that he could gaze at Rossa's chest without getting distracted!

But now he was feeling hungry and it was the perfect time for him to finish it.

When Rossa tried to split her card with the second deal trick, suddenly the card was stuck! Under everyone's gaze, the card drawn from below was clearly visible. 

Ryan's inner strength in that card worked as glue, therefore the card that Rossa took was stuck and thus exposing her trick.

"Cheating! That girl is cheating!" Several people shouted.

"That's really careless, now her reputation must be ruined." 

Ryan just smiled when he saw Rossa's face turned pale. "Looks like I'm the winner."

Darby was completely in a daze as he stood beside the table. How could Rossa do something reckless like that? He thought that this must be Ryan's doing. The guy then looked at Ryan closely and smiled bitterly as he sighed. It seemed like it would take him several years to be equal to that man.

'I will definitely beat you one day!'

Ryan looked at the people that started clamoring then stood up saying, "Transfer the money into my account now, I want to quickly leave this place,"

He was tired of dealing with people like this, he better went home and played with his wife.

"Wait a minute!" Rossa shouted in a cold tone. "Play with me one more time!"

Ryan yawned. "All right, one more time,"

Rossa bit her lip until it bled, this person really looked down on her.

"Let's do dice," Rossa took out 2 dice and a black glass. "Whoever gets the smallest amount is the winner."

After explaining, Rossa immediately put the two dice into a glass and shook them.

Ryan watched this woman with a sigh. It seemed like a gambler like Rossa couldn't escape dirty tricks, she was really rotten to the core.

As expected, under people's gazes, Rossa raised her glass and showed it was 2!

Rossa smiled. "Now it's your turn. In addition, if we draw then you are the winner. "

Ryan sighed, he took the black glass and shook the dice. The inner strength in his hands was already working fast. Unlike Rossa, he shook the glass slowly.

People thought that Ryan had no chance of winning, getting the number 2 was absolutely impossible. At this time, Ryan stopped shaking and had not opened the contents.

When everyone was curious about the contents of Ryan's glass, the man stood up and said with a smile, "I hope you won't chase me again after this."

Not caring about people's reactions, Ryan walked away from the table.

People who saw this looked confused, Rossa frowned and picked up the still closed glass. Her eyes widened when she saw the two dice crushed to dust!

The dice that was crushed to dust had no numbers, meaning that Ryan got a total score of 0. The guy won again!

Rossa didn't know what to say anymore, everyone was also shocked when they saw the crushed dice. Today, the casino was full of surprises.

"God of gambling... That person is the god of gambling!" Some people said.

Starting today, a new legend of the god of gambling in this casino was born.

"Interesting ... Audrey, bring that person here!" Marilyn, who had been watching Ryan from the start, smiled. 

"Understood."

Audrey complied with her lady's request and walked out of the VIP room.

Ryan walked towards the exit, but suddenly, a beautiful woman with a cold face came to him. Indeed, she reminded him of Elizabeth.

Audrey stopped Ryan and said to him, "Come with me, my madame wants to meet you,"

Ryan stopped walking and glared at her. "Am I  indebted to her?"

Audrey looked confused, then with a cold tone she answered, "Not."

"Then why are you talking to me like that?" Ryan replied casually.

Audrey looked at the tasteless guy she faced. While holding back her anger, she said back to Ryan, "Sir, my madame wants to see you, will you come with me?"

"I don't want to, I don't know who your employer is. Moreover, you're in my way," Ryan charged her and walked past her. However, Audrey stopped him again.

"Unfortunately, we do not accept anything except compliance. You must meet her," Audrey said with a serious face.

"Who do you think I am?" Ryan also got angry. He said to her in a slightly elevated tone, "A dog like you can't get in the way of a lion."

Ryan hated the rich for acting arbitrarily just because they have money. If she really needed something from him then she should come by herself instead of ordering her dog.

"What did you say?" Audrey could not hold back her anger. She had never experienced anything like this. This commoner wanted to get the same respect as her madame but now he even taunted her as a dog?

"It turns out that you are not only brainless, looks like you are deaf as well," Ryan shook his head. "It's useless to have such a pretty face if you're actually stupid,"

Audrey couldn't hold back anymore, her blood was boiling. She threw a hard slap on Ryan's face.
