Chapter 312: I Still Want to Bet Another Round with You!
Chu Xiaotian's eyes bulged round, staring intently at Jiang Feng's 2‑3‑4 Straight Gold.
He couldn't make sense of it; his mind was a tangled mess of paste.
At the instant of dealing, he was clearly aware that Jiang Feng's final card was Club 3, so how did it turn into Spade 3 in the blink of an eye?
This could not be luck; Jiang Feng must be up to something, using some underhanded method to switch the cards!
"You're full of crap!"
Duanmu Hongjie exploded on the spot, the pent‑up resentment and grievance bursting out instantly as he pointed at Chu Xiaotian's nose and ranted.
"Chu Xiaotian, you damn can't play! When Jiang Ge just lost sixteen million to you, why didn't you say Jiang Ge was cheating? Now my Jiang Ge got lucky and produced a Straight Gold, and you get furious, refusing to settle and defaming him for cheating? Can you at least have some decency!"
Ma Jian stepped forward as well, letting out a cold laugh.
"Chu Xiaotian, if you're afraid of losing face and don't want to strip naked and crawl out, just say it directly; there's no need to use such despicable low tactics to defame others!"
"Everyone saw it with their own eyes! From the start to the reveal, my Jiang Ge never even glanced at the card faces, let alone touched the cards. How could he be cheating? You can't just slap a cheating hat on him just because my Jiang Ge's cards are higher than yours."
At this point, he couldn't help but snicker.
"The jianghu rules are to catch thieves and loot, to catch cheating and double‑dealing! You accuse my Jiang Ge of cheating—where's the evidence? If you can't produce evidence, stop spitting blood‑filled accusations here; it only makes you look like a sore loser, a spineless wimp!"
The people around them nodded in agreement, loudly debating.
"Young Master Chu is obviously losing his temper, trying to cheat!"
"If you can't afford to gamble, don't gamble; losing and then defaming others is just demeaning!"
"I think he just doesn't want to strip naked and crawl out, so he's deliberately looking for an excuse!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaotian's complexion flashed between pale and ashen, yet he couldn't muster a single rebuttal for ages.
It should be noted that he himself is a top‑tier Cheating Master.
Yet even he didn't see any strange moves from Jiang Feng.
Seeing Chu Xiaotian still unable to speak, Ma Jian let out a cold laugh.
"You can't claim that the dealer helped us set a trap to pit you, can you?"
Hearing that, a flash of insight suddenly lit up Chu Xiaotian's mind.
"Yes! It's the dealer! It must be her! She secretly swapped Jiang Feng's cards! You two must have colluded long ago, teaming up to trap me!"
At this moment, Chu Xiaotian had no other options.
Letting him strip naked and crawl out here is no better than killing him!
But as soon as Chu Xiaotian finished speaking, the dealer Li Hong's expression instantly darkened.
"Young Master Chu, although you are an esteemed guest of our casino, you must speak with restraint and not arbitrarily defame anyone!"
"The Fengfan Club is renowned throughout the Circle for fairness and impartiality; in all these years we have never engaged in such behind‑the‑scenes manipulation! You claim that I and Mr. Jiang colluded to trap you?"
"If this gets spread, wouldn't it imply that the Fengfan Club lacks credibility? You're smashing our casino's reputation!"
Although Chu Xiaotian's status is noble, Li Hong was unfazed.
She had worked at the Fengfan Club for five years and knew how deep the casino's backing was.
Not to mention a single Chu Xiaotian; even his Chu Family would never dare to offend the Fengfan Club lightly.
The crucial point is that Chu Xiaotian truly has no evidence.
Without evidence, it's just nonsense!
Hearing that, Chu Xiaotian's heart gave a sudden thud, and he instantly panicked.
He had long heard of the Fengfan Club's influence, rumored to be backed by powerful figures.
Earlier, a reckless rich second‑generation heir caused a scene in the casino, questioning its fairness; the next day he vanished completely from the Circle, his family unable to protect him.
"I… I didn't mean that…"
Chu Xiaotian quickly changed his tone, his gaze darting away.
"I just think this matter is too suspicious; how could Jiang Feng happen to draw a Straight Gold, so I… I just made an off‑hand guess."
"A guess?"
Li Hong let out a cold laugh.
"Young Master Chu! In a casino, wins and losses depend entirely on luck and skill. Mr. Jiang's good luck produced a Straight Gold, which simply shows his fortunes are soaring—how can that be suspicious? If you truly believe our casino is unfair, you may confront our manager, but you absolutely must not spout nonsense here and defame the casino's integrity!"
Chu Xiaotian was left speechless by Li Hong's rebuke, so embarrassed he wished he could crawl into a crack in the floor.
He realized his earlier remark was completely wrong, pushing himself onto the casino's opposing side.
Yet he still couldn't understand—he had clearly perceived Club 3 when the cards were dealt, Jiang Feng's hand should have been an ordinary 2‑3‑4 straight, so how did it become a Straight Gold made of Spade 3?
Could his perception be faulty?
Or perhaps the deck itself was flawed?
Not so!
Chu Xiaotian shook his head violently; he had studied under Gambling Saint Gao Yi, mastering not only gambling technique but also a perception of cards that ranked among the top in the younger generation—how could it go wrong?
At the instant of dealing, he was unmistakably aware that Jiang Feng's third card's suit and rank were Club 3—absolutely no mistake!
So where exactly is the problem?
A terrifying thought suddenly flashed through Chu Xiaotian's mind like lightning.
Jiang Feng was not some rule‑ignorant brute; he was playing the pig to eat the tiger!
The first round he deliberately lost to himself, just to lower his guard, making him think he was merely a lucky brute!
Then in the second round, he intentionally kept raising step by step, even going all‑in for a hundred million, finally revealing a Straight Gold to catch himself off guard!
The crucial point is that Jiang Feng must have seen through his subtle card‑switching long ago, and may have, after Jiang's switch, calmly swapped the cards himself!
His gambling technique is truly unfathomable!
Thinking this, Chu Xiaotian's eyes instantly turned cold.
He considered himself gifted from childhood; after joining under Gambling Saint Gao Yi, he had never met a rival in the youthful gambling‑technique circles, always boasting himself as invincible.
I never expected that this time I would be beaten by a seemingly unremarkable Jiang Feng, and the other party might even be deliberately toying with me, treating me like a fool!
Am I a filthy dog? To be played with like this by you!
This feeling makes him suffer more than losing over a hundred million.
Jiang Feng lazily stretched a yawn and said to the Ma Jian and Duanmu Hongjie beside him.
"Here doesn't feel meaningful anymore. Little Ma, Little Jie, the chips are exchanged, let's go!"
"Alright, Jiang Ge!"
Ma Jian and Duanmu Hongjie immediately put on flattering smiles.
Having won such a huge sum of money, they also gave Chu Xiaotian a hard blow to the face.
The two felt extremely delighted at this moment, turned and headed toward the place in the casino where chips are exchanged.
"Stand still!"
At the instant the three turned, Chu Xiaotian suddenly shouted.
He can't just let Jiang Feng go like that; he's unwilling!
He wants to gamble another round, he wants to win it back, he wants to prove he's stronger than Jiang Feng, and to regain all the face he lost today!
Jiang Feng stopped his footstep, slowly turned, and raised his eyebrows.
"Anything?"
Chu Xiaotian took a deep breath, clenched his fists tightly, and said word by word.
"I still want to gamble another round with you!"
