Chapter 119: An Unquestionable Crush!

All eyes were on it.

The cards flipped.

There was no expected black big card, only a flash of glaring scarlet.

It wasn't a K.

It wasn't a Big Joker.

But it was a card so tiny it was almost negligible…

5 of Diamonds!

Silence.

The casino fell into an eerie hush.

Five points?

Even with a five‑fold Rule multiplier, that's only a meager 25 points!

Yet the total of the cards in their hands…

A full 59 points!

Double kill!

That's clearly a crushing defeat!

It's slaughter!

It's a points‑giving move!

Puff—!

The Smile Mask‑wearing man clutched his chest, nearly spitting a mouthful of old blood onto the table.

He trembled, pointing at the scarlet 5 of Diamonds, then at the Big Joker he had just played.

Mind exploded!

They used an Ace Card that could defy fate…

To snatch a guaranteed‑win hand?!

"Idiot! We are idiots!!!"

The Clown clasped his head with both hands, wailing in near collapse.

What a damn psychological game!

They were literally terrified by the opponent's half‑smile.

Smart?

In others' eyes, he's a super‑big sandbag!

The always‑winning Gambler?

Ugh!

Dropping the chain at the crucial moment!

"Tsk tsk tsk…"

Across the table, Su Ming lounged lazily against the back of his chair.

He spread his hands, face full of innocence.

"Heaven has already fed you a full meal; you can still spit it out with your skill."

"One 5 of Diamonds scares you this much?"

He leaned forward slightly, his gaze teasing.

"The next game… with your mental fortitude, how can you even play?"

The atmosphere at the table was heavy and unbearably awkward.

Completely toyed with!

"Everyone, pull yourselves together!"

On the throne, the Gambler slammed the armrest, forcibly rallying everyone's morale.

"Just a single loss!"

"Don't forget our goal: to force him to flip the table!"

"Given the current situation, our chances of winning remain boundless!"

"Even if we end up just one point ahead, that's a win for us!"

A single sentence snapped them awake.

Everyone shivered, the dying spark of survival in their eyes reignited.

Indeed!

They never really intended to win those Chips.

Living to leave this damned place is the greatest victory!

"Continue!"

The Clown gritted his teeth, staring intently at the freshly reshuffled virtual deck.

Buzz—!

Dealing resumes.

Whoosh!

A black faced‑down card swooshed across the table, stopping precisely before Su Ming.

He remained nonchalant as ever.

Two fingers pinched the card's corner, giving it a mere glance.

His eyebrows lifted ever so slightly.

Yo‑ho?

Fortune turns now!

What came into view was a gleaming black—

【King of Spades】!

Except for the Big Joker and Small Joker, a single card is the ultimate!

"That's interesting…"

In the previous hand he drew a busted 【5】, frightening this group into soul‑flight.

This hand the real monster has arrived…

What will they do now?

Kneel right there?!

Su Ming slowly laid down his cards.

On his face, still that inscrutable Smile Mask.

Clank!

The hearts of the seven opponents across missed a beat simultaneously.

Again?!

Same expression, same formula, same taste!

"Don't trust him! Absolutely don't trust him!"

Joker's voice was sharp, as if bolstering his own courage, yet also warning his companions.

"This is the Empty City stratagem!"

"He was the same dead look in the previous hand! Still deceiving us!"

Gambler forced down his unease, and shouted in a deep voice.

"Hold steady! First look at your own cards!"

The crowd, as if waking from a dream, hurriedly flipped the two face‑down cards before them.

The next second.

A wave of exclamations rose and fell, echoing across the gambling table!

"Sss—!"

Joker looked at the 【Queen of Hearts】 and 【10 of Diamonds】 in his hand, his eyes about to pop out of their sockets.

Big card!

All solid cash!

"I… I got a 【King】 again!"

The Smile Mask‑masked man looked at the colorful cards in his hand, so excited he was incoherent.

Not just them.

In the other people's hands, there were again two 【K】s and a 【Q】!

The remaining were also mostly high‑point cards like 【J】 and 【10】!

Heavenly Win!

This is the real Heavenly Win opening!

Gambler's murky old eyes flashed sharply, rapidly calculating the cards.

Steady!

All secured!

Born from death!

"No need to change cards!"

He made an instant decision, his voice trembling a bit.

"Gather all the biggest cards… our points can reach…"

"【77】 points!"

What does that even mean?

Even if Jing's luck is god‑defying, and he truly got the biggest 【K】, that's 13 points.

13 times 5 is only 65 points!

77 versus 65!

This is no longer a matter of winning odds; it's impossible to lose even a bit!

Unless…

If Jing holds that Unique 【Small Joker】, performing a bottom‑copy reset!

But drawing precisely a 【Small Joker】 from 54 cards?

What a probability, tsk tsk tsk!

"Mandate of Heaven is with me!"

The dramatic rise and fall of a near‑death rebirth left everyone a bit dizzy.

Old Heaven ultimately still favored them!

What we need to do in this round is quietly watch the monster opposite get enraged, then helplessly rage and flip the table!

"Huh…"

Gambler leaned back onto the throne, regaining his former mastermind demeanor.

He waved his hand lightly, his tone calm.

Let's reveal the cards.

According to the rules, take turns going first.

This round, the dealer should reveal his cards first.

Alright.

Su Ming also didn't hesitate.

He pinched the hole card between two fingers and casually flicked it onto the table.

Smack!

【Spade K】!

The black letters stood out starkly against the golden gambling table.

Silence.

Again, a deathly silence.

But this time, everyone's mindset changed!

Pfft…hahaha!

After a brief moment of shock, the 【Clown】 burst into hysterical laughter, tears streaming down his face.

"【K】! He actually got a 【K】!"

What a pity! Too bad!

If it were another round, we might really be done for!

But this round… we have a Heavenly Win!

The others came to their senses, and even beneath their masks, their faces showed a hint of amusement.

Really not a coincidence!

That feeling of helplessness when you watch a powerful opponent give his all, yet still bow before fate…

It's utterly captivating!

Reveal your cards!

The 【Gambler】 waved his hand and promptly flung out his reserved 【Diamond K】!

Delay brings trouble; he didn't intend to waste time!

Immediately after.

The 【Clown】 and the 【Smile Mask】 man each threw out the 【Heart Q】 and the 【Spade Q】 respectively.

One big card after another slammed onto the center of the gambling table.

【Spade J】, 【Diamond 10】, 【Club 6】!

The points skyrocketed wildly!

The total points on the table had already reached an astonishing 【64】!

Just one step away from the 【Pure】's 【65】 points!

And the last one who hasn't played yet…

…is the 【Crying Mask】 woman at the very end.

Everyone could clearly see the pre‑selected card she was pinching in her hand…

…was the third 【K】 of this round!

As long as this card lands.

【64】 plus 【13】 would instantly push the total to 【77】 points!

An overwhelming crush without any doubt!

"It seems the outcome is decided."

The 【Gambler】 watched Su Ming's brows slightly furrow, and his heart settled.

He adjusted his collar and sat upright on the throne.

With the demeanor unique to a victor, he spoke lightly.

"Mr. 【Pure】, I must admit, you are indeed strong."

"So strong that even all of us together feel suffocated."

"But at the gambling table…"

He pointed to his head.

"Luck, sometimes, is more important than strength."

"And here, on my turf… I am the Mandate of Heaven!"

He paused again.

"This round, we were lucky."

"If Mr. 【Pure】 feels it's not enough fun, after we flip the table, perhaps we could become friends."

"Feel free to come to my casino anytime and play a couple of hands!"

Around them, the 【Clown】 and others' tense bodies finally relaxed.

Finally!

We're finally going to escape with our lives!

Lost a Purple Chip?

Compared to a miserable second half of life, what's that worth!

"Have you finished speaking?"

Suddenly, Su Ming's calm voice rang out.

Like a basin of ice water, it doused the whole venue's restless heat.

He slowly raised his head, yet his expression was calm to the point of being somewhat frightening.

"Two things."

"First, do you want to be friends with me?"

Su Ming let out a snort of laughter.

"You too deserve?!"

"Second! I'm correcting your word usage error!"

He extended his finger and lightly tapped the golden gambling table.

"Your gambling hall?"

"No."

Su Ming grinned.

"It's my gambling hall!"
