Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 810: Add Another Hundred Million

"Mr. Lin, you really have a lot of nerve! Not many can play the cards in reverse like you do," Catherine smiled as she praised Lin Feng, though her excitement was mounting inside her. She hadn’t expected this sudden turn of events—a chance to win an extra twenty million US Dollars. How could she not be thrilled? Initially, she thought it unlikely Lin Feng would call, but surprisingly, he did. It seemed there was going to be an unexpected windfall this round.

"It’s nothing, just playing around," Lin Feng said, disregarding Catherine’s words. He shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. Indeed, as Catherine was scheming against him, he was also plotting against her, only Lin Feng didn’t show it. After all, if a gambled game wasn’t just for play, what was it?

"Then I really must see if Mr. Lin is indeed that lucky. Deal," Catherine’s smile remained on her face as she spoke simply, then signaled the croupier to deal.

The dealing changed the scene: Catherine received a ten of clubs, while Lin Feng got a three of diamonds.

"Haha, I have the higher card again, I’m really lucky today. Let’s go with fifty million," Catherine said, her smile growing upon seeing the ten of clubs. With four cards dealt, every card matched her predictions. It seemed no surprises would come this round. Lin Feng’s facedown card must be the seven of spades, meaning his highest cards were the pair of threes face-up, while her facedown card was the ten of spades. Her hand already consisted of two pairs—she had Lin Feng beat for sure!

Besides, she was certain of the next set of cards: a nine of spades for Lin Feng and a king of hearts for herself. But that didn’t matter anymore; Lin Feng was thoroughly beaten! With this thought, Catherine didn’t hesitate to place a fifty million bet. She could tell Lin Feng was a novice, daring to gamble with her like this. If nothing unexpected happened, he would surely call to the end. This way, she wasn’t afraid of scaring him off...

Seeing Lin Feng’s pair of threes, Catherine’s assistant was even more pleased. There was no chance of a flush or straight anymore; Lin Feng was sure to lose without even knowing how he lost. Following Catherine’s instructions, the assistant promptly brought out fifty million in chips and placed them in front of the table.

"Call. Not bad, now I have a pair of threes, a pretty good hand," Lin Feng’s expression remained unchanged, as serene as ever. Catherine already knew the cards, and how could he not? However, Lin Feng wanted to see what Catherine would look like when she lost.

"Boss... maybe we shouldn’t call," Huang Shi became even more tense. The current hand looked bad, and even as a rookie, he could see that the Boss shouldn’t continue to call. But seeing Lin Feng’s confidence, his heart wavered for a moment before he couldn’t resist speaking up.

Lin Feng waved his hand, motioning for Huang Shi to follow his instructions. Seeing Lin Feng’s gesture, Huang Shi had no choice but to put out the fifty million chips onto the center of the table, although the thought of the money pained him. Now they were risking seventy-six million US Dollars, and they had only dealt four cards. If a fifth card was called, it would surely exceed a hundred million US Dollars. To lose that amount in a single hand, probably only the Boss could remain so unfazed.

The croupier couldn’t help but take a few extra looks at Lin Feng, though his gaze was filled with mockery. Playing recklessly like this, Lin Feng was the epitome of a prodigal son. With the opposing hand already a pair of queens, the odds were overwhelmingly against him. No one in their right mind would continue to call, and Lin Feng’s persistence seemed foolish.

Evidently, the worldly croupier didn’t favor Lin Feng’s chances either and thought he was doomed to lose this round. Calling another fifty million was nothing short of handing money over to Catherine. Initially, they had thought Lin Feng, daring to gamble with Catherine, was a gambling expert. It turned out he was just another frivolous spendthrift...

"What! Calling fifty million on that lousy card!"

"I’ve gone mad!"

"My eyes must be deceiving me!"

"A prodigal! A super prodigal!"

...

The crowd in the hall, seeing Lin Feng daring to call fifty million under such circumstances, immediately started voicing their opinions. In their mind, they would have folded such a lousy hand from the start—how could one possibly continue? What was with these terrible cards, and Lin Feng was even calling fifty million US Dollars? They truly wondered what was going through Lin Feng’s mind!

On the face of it, unless Lin Feng’s facedown card was also a three, he was undoubtedly destined to lose. But there was still one card left—who knew what it would be? If another queen was dealt to the opposing side, even if Lin Feng’s facedown card was a three, he would still lose. Any gambler facing such odds would definitely fold without hesitation. What was Lin Feng thinking, not even checking his facedown card up to this point...

But the game continued relentlessly, undeterred by anyone’s amazement. The croupier dealt the cards for the final round, and just as Catherine had predicted, she received the King of Hearts, while Lin Feng got the Nine of Spades. Catherine’s smile grew even broader at the sight.

"Hehe, I didn’t expect this, it seems I have the higher hand, Mr. Lin didn’t get the Three. If Mr. Lin had three Threes, this round might really have been mine. Alright then, let’s make it a billion," Catherine said with a laugh, casually calling a bet of one billion in chips. In her eyes, the game was over at this point, and Lin Feng would surely check his hole card. If he knew his hole card was the Seven of Spades, he would certainly fold, so it made no difference what her bet was.

Indeed, winning more than seventy million US Dollars so easily, Catherine could hardly contain her delight, even forgetting the fact that Lin Feng had resisted her Soul-Bewitching Technique with fifty percent of his cultivation power at the start.

Catherine’s assistant promptly placed a billion in chips on the table. In his opinion, there was no way Lin Feng would call now; it was merely a formality.

"The board may not look ideal, but perhaps there’s a surprise in this hole card of mine? Well then, I’ll call. It’s not much, just a billion. And I’ll raise another billion, betting that this hole card is indeed a Three. Huang Shi, place the chips," Lin Feng said, shaking his head as he looked at the board. He spoke casually, unconcerned about the money. Since Catherine was giving away a billion, why wouldn’t he raise? After all, he didn’t need to be polite with Catherine.

"..." Huang Shi was rendered speechless at this declaration, his mouth gaping without words. In the blink of an eye, nearly three billion US Dollars were at stake—such an enormous amount was staggering! The Boss had not even checked his hole card and yet dared to raise to such an extent—this was just too outrageous! But seeing Lin Feng’s resolute look, Huang Shi knew that the decision was set in stone, and even though he was reluctant, he had no choice but to follow the Boss’s instructions...

Two billion seven hundred million US Dollars gone just like that! What on earth was the Boss thinking!

In Huang Shi’s eyes, Catherine was a bona fide Gambling King who most likely had already figured out the Boss’s hole card. Yet, the Boss was still raising at this moment, clearly falling for Catherine’s trap—this was practically handing over money to Catherine. Huang Shi felt lost; it seemed the Boss was doomed to lose this round. Why then would he keep raising? Could it be that the Boss intended to stage a bluff? That seemed impossible—how could Catherine give the Boss such an opportunity? It was simply inconceivable!

It looked like this round was lost for sure, but to lose over two billion seven hundred million US Dollars—wasn’t the price a bit too steep...

"My God! Did I hear that right?"

"This Lin Feng is really insane!"

"Who else but a madman could do something so foolish!"

"Could it be... could it be that Lin Feng’s hole card is a Three?"

"There’s no way, Catherine is a gambling deity. How could she not guess Lin Feng’s hole card? If she dared to call, it means she’s certain to win!"

...

Everyone in the hall was stunned upon hearing this. The stakes were frightening enough at seventy million US Dollars, but who would have thought that Lin Feng would act like this, not only calling the billion but also raising another billion on such a weak hand—it was truly incredible. Lin Feng must be mad, absolutely mad!

Not just they thought so, even Huang Shi’s friends couldn’t comprehend Lin Feng’s way of betting. To them, Lin Feng’s loss was a foregone conclusion. Daring to call without even looking at his hole card? Lin Feng was too crazy for words. Huang Shi was bringing Lin Feng in not to turn the tables but to give money away to Catherine—what was Huang Shi thinking...

"Hehe, Mr. Lin, you’re actually trying to speculate, huh? But I won’t give you that chance, I’ll call," Catherine was even more surprised by Lin Feng’s move. She could hardly believe Lin Feng would do such a thing in a seemingly hopeless situation. Yet, Lin Feng did exactly that, raising without even checking his hole card, even adding another billion US Dollars!

This turn of events genuinely caught Catherine off guard, her first thought being that Lin Feng was trying to speculate and bluff. But she knew what the hole card was, so how could she afford Lin Feng the chance to speculate? If Lin Feng wanted to play the fool so badly, then all the better—why would she refuse two billion US Dollars delivered right to her door?

As these thoughts crossed her mind, Catherine’s face bloomed into a peach-like smile. Watching Lin Feng maintain his composure, her heart swelled with joy. Surely, Lin Feng was just a novice with excessive wealth seeking thrills. She couldn’t wait to see the expression on his face after losing the two billion seven hundred million US Dollars—whether he would remain as calm as he was now.
