Chen Fan said, "Thanks. I don't care about the money, but I don't like losing!"
"You..."
The man in the white suit stared intently at Chen Fan, "Are you playing me?"
"Isn't gambling just people playing people?"
Chen Fan said, watching the dealer sweep all the chips to his side.
The man in the white suit staggered to his feet, his face completely devoid of color.
He had lost a lot, almost his entire fortune, and it was a huge blow to him.
He couldn't understand how such a shallow player as Chen Fan could beat him.
Little did he know that after Young Master Yu joined the game, and after his all-in bluff, his mindset was far from as calm as it appeared on the surface. If he didn't lose, who would?
As for Chen Fan, he had been acting the entire time.
"Marvelous!"
Young Master Yu applauded and said, "Sir, you've been playing the part of the pig to eat the tiger all along!"
"I wouldn't say that!"
Chen Fan replied, "I was just careless at the beginning, and then I got a little serious."
"Shall we continue?" Young Master Yu asked.
"I'm done playing!" The woman stood up, winked at Chen Fan, and said.
"And you?" Chen Fan looked at Young Master Yu.
"It's just the two of us now." Young Master Yu smiled, "Then why don't we play for bigger stakes? A hundred thousand ante, and no limit on bets?"
"Alright!"
Chen Fan immediately agreed.
"It's getting late. The last ten hands, you'd better seize the opportunity!"
Young Master Yu added.
Chen Fan frowned at this, showing his dissatisfaction with playing only ten more hands.
However, in such a setting, he couldn't force the issue. He nodded with some annoyance.
With only two players left, the dealer dealt the cards.
Chen Fan's hand was stronger, so he spoke first.
After considering for a moment, he placed a million chips on the table.
Young Master Yu smiled and folded without hesitation.
In the second round, Chen Fan still spoke first and bet another million.
Young Master Yu folded again.
Chen Fan became increasingly displeased.
In the third round, Young Master Yu spoke first and bet a hundred thousand.
Chen Fan was about to pick up a million chips, but then paused and matched the hundred thousand.
Seeing Chen Fan's reaction, Young Master Yu smiled.
The cards were dealt again, and Young Master Yu's hand was still stronger.
Young Master Yu bet two hundred thousand.
Chen Fan continued to call.
By the fourth card, Young Master Yu had a pair of tens, while Chen Fan had scattered cards of different suits.
"It seems luck is on my side."
Young Master Yu smiled and said, "Then let's go for a million."
Chen Fan's hole card was an Ace, and his other face-up cards were all lower than ten. Unless he got another Ace on the last card, he couldn't beat Young Master Yu.
Covering his face-up cards, Chen Fan signaled that he was folding.
The chips naturally went to Young Master Yu.
This Young Master Yu had good luck. Most of what the man in the white suit lost was won by this Young Master Yu.
In the fourth round, after calling to the fourth round, Chen Fan folded.
In the fifth round, at the fourth round, Young Master Yu folded.
In the sixth round, Chen Fan seemed angered, reverting to his old ways, betting a million right from the start.
Young Master Yu folded.
In the seventh round, Chen Fan, afraid that Young Master Yu wouldn't call, bet conservatively.
Young Master Yu glanced at his hole card and called to the fourth round.
In the fourth round, Young Master Yu's hand had a pair of Kings, which was clearly stronger. He bet five hundred thousand.
Chen Fan hesitated.
"A pair of Kings is already a very strong hand. Your hand doesn't have a pair, only a flush draw."
Young Master Yu said confidently.
"Perhaps I do have a flush?" Chen Fan bet a million and said.
"This is a game of probability. The chance of you getting it is too small."
Young Master Yu called.
The fifth card was dealt, and Chen Fan's four face-up cards were all of the same suit.
Smiling, Chen Fan pushed all the chips in front of him and said, "All in!"
Young Master Yu's pupils constricted.
His hand was two pairs, and Chen Fan could only beat him with a flush.
After playing for so long, he had formed a definitive conclusion about Chen Fan.
Chen Fan held Dragon Cards, truly wealthy and arrogant, but he detested losing and only wanted to win.
With this mindset, even when he got bad cards, he had certain tell-tale small actions, such as frowning, rubbing his nose, or touching his forehead.
This time was no exception.
But Young Master Yu still couldn't be sure if Chen Fan was doing it deliberately or if he truly didn't have good cards.
After all, the man in the white suit was a living example before him.
He hesitated.
After Chen Fan won against the man in the white suit, his chips amounted to over twenty million, and Young Master Yu's chips were about the same.
If he agreed, it would be a game-deciding hand.
Under the astonished gaze of Yu Fuguo, Young Master Yu covered his cards and said, "I fold!"
Chen Fan showed a triumphant smile.
Yu Fuguo couldn't help but peek at Chen Fan's hole card.
It wasn't a flush at all, but a completely miscellaneous hand.
"Mr. Chen, you're amazing!"
Yu Fuguo exclaimed in surprise, casting a somewhat strange glance at Young Master Yu.
From Yu Fuguo's reaction, Young Master Yu understood the outcome. After a moment of stunned silence, a trace of annoyance arose in his heart.
The game continued.
In the eighth round, Young Master Yu's hand was not good, and he folded after the third round.
In the ninth round, Young Master Yu folded in the fourth round.
In the tenth and final round, after the cards were dealt, Young Master Yu's hand was an Ace, and he bet a hundred thousand.
"This is the last round, right?"
Chen Fan scooped up two cards, one face-up and one face-down, and said with a smile, "Then let's make it a million."
This final round made Young Master Yu hesitate.
He had entered the game not to win money, but to observe Chen Fan.
A game like showdown was both a gamble and an excellent way to gauge another person's depth through their play.
At first, he thought he had seen through Chen Fan, but now, he was beginning to feel uncertain.
Or rather, ever since Chen Fan had all-ined the man in the white suit and taken him for all he had, he had started to feel like he couldn't quite figure Chen Fan out.
After some thought, Young Master Yu raised a million to call.
This brought them to the fifth round.
He glanced at his hole card, which was an Ace of Hearts.
Combined with his other cards, he had a pair of Aces and a pair of Sixes, plus a Seven of Clubs.
Chen Fan's hand, however, was a pair of Sevens.
His hand was much stronger than Chen Fan's.
The probability of Chen Fan getting three Sevens was too low.
Moreover, there was an important point: he noticed that Chen Fan hadn't looked at his hole card this time.
There was no reason for him to lose.
His primary objective in observing Chen Fan through the game was to see Chen Fan lose his temper.
In such a situation, a person's weaknesses and flaws would be fully revealed.
Secondly, he wanted to see Chen Fan's reaction to winning money, whether he would be smug or show a subtle hidden joy.
Both of these aspects would easily reveal a person's character and abilities, thus determining how easily Chen Fan could be controlled and how to proceed with that control.
However, with the stakes reaching over twenty million in showdown, Young Master Yu felt a pang of regret.
He was not a high-ranking member of the organization, and if he truly lost this money to Chen Fan, he would have to endure a period of hardship.
After a moment of thought, Young Master Yu pushed all his chips forward and said, "Then it's all in!"
Chen Fan smiled and, without hesitation, pushed all the chips in front of him.
"Your strongest hand is at most three Sevens. I already have one Seven in my hand!"
Young Master Yu said sternly, "You didn't even look at your hole card. I don't believe your luck is so good that your hole card would be a Seven of Diamonds!"
"Who said I didn't look at my hole card?"
Chen Fan's expression was odd as he revealed his hole card.
It was indeed a Seven of Diamonds.
"It's just that I looked at it so quickly that I saw my hole card before you dealt it."
Chen Fan laughed heartily and said, "You lose!"
"I said I like the feeling of winning. No matter what I do, I want to win!"
Young Master Yu was stunned for a moment and slumped back, defeated.
How could this be? Was it really a Seven of Diamonds?
