Chapter 1704: Slaughter Them Like Fat Pigs!

~8 min read 1,549 words

Because the card game was an impromptu idea, and the person who organized it voluntarily gave up participating in the game and volunteered to be the dealer, except for Ye Chen and Olivia, the other participants didn't think about the aspect of cheating at all.

Moreover, the venue was the chess and card room of the Nordic royal family itself, and the poker cards were also brand-new unopened stock from the chess and card room, so no one would suspect anything.

Actually, there was no problem with the poker cards. The real problem lay with this dealer.

He himself was a master of gambling techniques and had made his fortune by gambling. Even if he played cards with professional players, he could cheat without anyone noticing, let alone facing a bunch of amateur players like this.

This person had extremely fast hand speed, an excellent memory, and superb finger flexibility, comparable to a close-up magician. Therefore, when he shuffled the cards, no one knew that he had already memorized the position of every card.

Then, he cut and inserted the cards seemingly casually, having already arranged the poker cards according to the rules he had predetermined.

And at this time, Olivia also distributed a stack of chips to everyone, saying, "Everyone, each of our chips is 100 million euros. Everyone take them and use them first. Whoever loses them first will buy 100 million chips from others to continue playing. When we don't play at the end, everyone will take stock. Whoever doesn't have 100 million euros in chips will take out the missing part of the money, and the winners will divide it according to the amount they won. What do you all think?"

Everyone naturally had no objections.

After all, this wasn't a real casino. In a casino, everyone would buy chips from the casino with money first and then return the money at the end. But in private gambling games among friends, people generally wouldn't buy chips from someone, but rather distribute chips first, and whoever loses them first takes out money to buy them, which is also more convenient for statistics.

However, just when others were nodding, Ye Chen said, "Let me interject. Chips are only 100 million euros, isn't that a bit too little?"

"This is still too little?" A kid Ye Chen didn't know blurted out, "Just playing for fun, 100 million is not a small amount!"

Ye Chen waved his hand, looking at him with disdain, and curled his lips, "100 million euros isn't enjoyable. If the chips aren't enough, I won't feel comfortable placing bets!"

Olivia asked hurriedly, "Then what does Mr. Ye mean?"

Ye Chen smiled, "Simple, multiply all chip denominations by ten."

As he spoke, he picked up a 100,000 chip and said, "Look, this 100,000 chip represents 1 million euros, and this 1 million one next to it represents 10 million euros."

Others couldn't help but gasp.

One of them thought to himself: "Damn, really rich and arrogant! Even a casual card game has to be played for 1 billion euros. This is too scary."

Most of the others meant the same thing.

Playing too big was already beyond their endurance.

Most of these people could lose a few million or ten million at most. If they really lost 100 million on such an occasion, they would definitely collapse.

However, William was extremely excited.

He knew very well that with the dealer secretly helping him, he would definitely eat Ye Chen to death.

Let alone a maximum of 1 billion euros, what's a few billion euros? A good thing with a 100% win rate, just do it.

Thus, he said, "Everyone, Mr. Ye is a guest from afar. Everyone, don't let Mr. Ye lose interest. If you really feel the bet is too big, just don't force yourself to place heavy bets."

Hearing this, everyone could only nod and agree.

After all, William was half a host here, and he was also a person from the Rothschild family, so he had more face than everyone else. As for Ye Chen, the Ye family behind him did indeed have assets of over 100 billion euros and had inextricable ties with the Wanlong Palace, so everyone could only follow these two.

Seeing this, the dealer said with a smile, "Okay, since everyone has agreed on the rules, I will start dealing now."

Immediately after, he dealt the first card to the person on his right, and then dealt in order.

After dealing, the betting began.

Ye Chen didn't pay attention to what cards he had at all. As soon as it was his turn, he immediately threw down a 1 million euro chip. After a few rounds, he threw in 4 million euros in chips, but it actually represented a capital amount of 70 million euros.

Others couldn't adapt to such a large betting amount for a while and folded one after another to watch.

On the card table, it soon became a direct confrontation between Ye Chen and William.

Immediately after, the dealer said, "Please show your cards, both of you!"

Ye Chen casually flipped over his hole cards. His cards were only a pair and three mixed cards, which was considered a very small hand in Texas Hold'em.

And William, in the first round, got a bomb hand, holding four Jacks and one mixed card, which was much larger than Ye Chen's hand.

The dealer immediately announced, "In this round, William wins."

William excitedly gathered all the chips in front of him and said with a smile, "Mr. Ye, sorry about that!"

Ye Chen said indifferently, "Oh, it's just a few tens of millions, why be so polite? Besides, we have a saying at the Chinese card table: the first to win is paper, the last to win is money. Victory or defeat can only be known at the last moment."

William couldn't help but give Ye Chen a thumbs up and praised, "Mr. Ye is indeed extraordinary! Then shall we continue?"

Ye Chen nodded and smiled, "Come on!"

William gave the dealer a secret wink.

Just now, Ye Chen's hand was too small. In this round, he wanted Ye Chen's hand to be larger, so that Ye Chen would bet more.

Sure enough.

In this round, the dealer made a bomb hand for Ye Chen, and then made a straight flush for William.

Ye Chen also really fell for it. Seeing the large hand, he threw 20 million in chips one after another. According to the agreement, this was equivalent to betting 200 million euros.

The card game was left with only him and William. When it was time to show the cards, William directly threw out a straight flush. The others at the scene were stunned, and one after another sighed at William's good luck.

The dealer announced again, "In this round, William wins again."

William, while collecting the chips, sighed, "Mr. Ye's hand is indeed very large, but my hand is still larger. Please forgive me!"

Ye Chen waved his hand indifferently, "Take it, take it all. This little bit of drizzle is nothing to me, not even a hair."

Olivia looked at Ye Chen's indifferent appearance and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "He really is a prodigal son who burns money without blinking! Looking at it this way, we can definitely win a Concorde airliner from him tonight! After I ascend the throne and am crowned, I can take the Concorde to visit all parts of the world. Among the royal families of the world, it will be unique!"

William was equally excited. Seeing that he had won over 240 million euros from Ye Chen in just two rounds, he said, "Well, Mr. Ye, according to our previous regulations, the money you have lost now exceeds 100 million euros. You should spend money to buy back this batch of chips."

Ye Chen frowned, "You start buying back at this time? Didn't we say we would settle after all the chips were lost? I still have plenty."

William said awkwardly, "But what we just said was that we would settle once 100 million euros were lost. You have already lost over 200 million. The actual amount is calculated at ten times the chip denomination. This is what you proposed just now..."

Ye Chen said disdainfully, "I lose 200 million in one hand of cards. According to your way of doing things, do I have to pay you twice in one hand of cards? Don't you find it annoying?"

William said hurriedly, "Oh, Mr. Ye, otherwise we can settle after each round..."

Ye Chen said disgustedly, "I see you look like a human, and I thought you should be a straightforward person. I didn't expect you to be as slow as a woman when playing cards? Settling after each round is so troublesome, how can I play happily? Since those 100 million chips represent 1 billion euros, just wait until I lose all these chips, and I will give you 1 billion euros in one go."

As he spoke, seeing that he wanted to speak again, Ye Chen immediately said with disdain, "Don't talk nonsense to me, otherwise I will give you the money now and won't play with you!" ===== CHAPTER 1705 =====
