Chapter 815 This is Our Only Chance
One round...
Two rounds...
Three rounds...
...
Time slipped by unnoticed, and Lin Feng and Catherine each had their share of victories, bringing great enjoyment to all onlookers who had forgotten the passage of time. Lin Feng seemed to suddenly have lost the edge he’d shown in the previous rounds, now appearing to be evenly matched with Catherine. But what they didn’t know was that Lin Feng could have swept Catherine clean in an instant; he was simply biding his time, not wanting to shine too brightly...
What? How... how can their bet be so exaggerated! My God, just the minimum stake is a million US Dollars; that’s just too outrageous...
Huang Yu hadn’t seen the game until now and had not expected the stakes to be so high, which he found utterly unbelievable. To think that a person could lose a million US Dollars on a single hand without even betting; Huang Yu was completely stunned. In his wildest dreams, he wouldn’t have imagined that Lin Feng would wager so much. It was truly inconceivable. How... how much money is on this table? Where did Lin Feng get all this money from...
And what was even more exaggerated was that he had seen Catherine’s distressed state, knowing that Catherine was under a great deal of pressure facing Lin Feng now. This realization made Huang Yu all the more astounded; only now did he understand that Lin Feng was not just a wealthy individual, but also a master gambler. Otherwise, how could he possibly have pushed Catherine to this state?
My... My...
How... how is this possible? Catherine is one of the top three gamblers in the world, and Lin Feng...
By now, Huang Yu was already overwhelmed with shock. His eyes were wide open as he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He couldn’t fathom such a development, having thought Catherine would take care of Lin Feng and share some of her winnings with him. But now, not only had Catherine not won any money, but it also seemed like she had lost quite a bit. What... what should be done now?
Thinking of this, Huang Yu started to feel anxious. He was afraid that if Catherine lost all her money, how could she possibly give him any? At that moment, Huang Yu felt extremely frustrated. If he had known this would happen, he should have demanded a share when Huang Shi won last time. Now, the chance of getting a cut might be gone, which was distressing for Huang Yu; it was a question of twenty million US Dollars, over a billion Huaxia Coins...
This...
Lin Feng is too impressive...
This situation is not good!
By the looks of it, Catherine might lose today...
...
The entire hall outside was silent, as everyone’s hearts were suspended watching the game on the screen. It was clear to everyone that Catherine’s situation was dire. As time passed, Catherine’s chips had dwindled significantly and, unnoticed by her, Lin Feng had won a good deal of money from her. A conservative estimate would be that Catherine had already lost close to a billion US Dollars, which was simply unbelievable!
Everyone’s gaze turned to Lin Feng, eager to know how such a young man could possess such heaven-shocking, earth-shattering gambling skills. It was truly astounding; holding such wealth at his young age was already unimaginable, and now Lin Feng had displayed such exceptional, unpredictable gambling prowess. Who exactly is this Lin Feng? From where did Huang Shi find this monster who could push Catherine to such a state? What kind of gambling skill must one have!
Could it be... Could it be that this Lin Feng is truly some hidden Gambling God? Otherwise, how could he possibly possess such gambling skills? Up until now, they gradually changed their view on Lin Feng, because he is the only one who has gambled with Catherine for so long without losing. Just this alone has already proven how superb Lin Feng’s gambling skills are!
However, these people were even more worried about something else, that was the previous bets on Catherine to win. At that time, they had all bet a lot, with the least betting several million. In their eyes, it seemed like a sure win, but they had never expected such a turn of events. It seems Catherine might really lose. If Catherine truly lost, wouldn’t they have all lost a huge sum of money in an instant? How could this not make them anxious...
Lin Feng...
Too awesome!
No wonder Huang Shi brought Lin Feng along!
Meanwhile, Huang Shi’s friends were filled with excitement. They were originally there to support Huang Shi, and a few million wasn’t a big amount to them, but they hadn’t expected to come across a windfall. Seeing the current situation, every one of them was extremely excited. If Lin Feng really won against Catherine... then wouldn’t they have made ten times their bet? One million would turn into ten million. This... This was just too thrilling!
By now they finally understood why Huang Shi was so confident when he first entered the room. It turns out Lin Feng was indeed a super grandmaster of gambling skills, far more formidable than Catherine. It was just that initially, no one believed it because Lin Feng was so young. Their astonishment towards Lin Feng couldn’t be more profound now, for his performance had far exceeded their expectations. If it wasn’t clear by now how exceptionally skilled Lin Feng was, they could not have dreamed that someone as young as him could possess such mind-blowing gambling skills...
Lin Feng maintained a nonchalant expression throughout, showing no other emotions. Gambling with Catherine here was no stress at all. If not for being considerate of not showing too shocking an ability, Lin Feng wouldn’t mind winning Catherine over in one fell swoop. However, Lin Feng didn’t wish to do so. That would be letting Catherine off easy. The best approach was to gradually torment Catherine, the slow boil of a frog in warm water. A very normal-looking situation, slowly winning all from Catherine, causing a mental collapse was the way to go.
Right now, the frustration in Catherine’s heart was beyond words. Only she knew how bitter it felt. Clearly holding a good hand, but every time when it came down to it, Lin Feng would fold. And the times when she tried to bluff, Lin Feng would catch her red-handed. Such events really left Catherine at a loss for words. Seeing her chips slowly dwindling, Catherine was almost in a panic. Witnessing Lin Feng’s performance, she really felt the urge to kill him.
Even in an attempt to change the unfavorable situation, Catherine had requested to change croupiers twice, yet the situation didn’t improve with the replacement. At this moment, she felt completely worn out. Estimating her chips, she should still have over one billion US Dollars left, which made Catherine even more furious. She thought she must seize an opportunity to turn the tables, otherwise, she was truly afraid of losing all her possessions.
Seeing Catherine in such an anxious state, Lin Feng had the situation completely figured out. This was exactly the effect he was aiming for. However, Lin Feng took the opportunity to glance at his watch...
Time passed again, and the opportunity Catherine had been waiting for finally arrived, making her ecstatic.
This round of dealing gave Catherine the dealt face card of the spade Jack, while Lin Feng was given the heart King. Catherine couldn’t be happier with such a hand because she had already seen her hole card, which was the spade Ace. According to her hand, she was certain that she had a spade royal flush this round, the highest possible hand. Lin Feng’s hand was likely to be a straight flush of 9, 10, J, Q, K - the so-called enemy’s hand.
After so many rounds of cards, she had already dismissed the possibility that Lin Feng could be cheating because, after the first couple of hands, all the cards came out as she had predicted. This reassured Catherine quite a bit. Now she had absolute confidence that she could recover from her previous disadvantage in this game. The outcome of this battle hung in the balance.
"Mr. Lin, nice hand there. I only have a little over one billion US Dollars in chips left, and I really don’t want to continue. How about we make this round the last one? I hope Mr. Lin can show mercy and not force me out of the game. Could you agree to that?" Catherine, while inwardly thrilled, still put on a distressed face to bait Lin Feng. And in fact, just as she said, she hoped to use this hand to turn the tables, retain the money previously lost to Lin Feng, and then quit. She truly wanted to leave this place immediately and never gamble with Lin Feng again. She didn’t know why, but she always felt an unusual pressure when gambling against Lin Feng. Even though Lin Feng hadn’t pulled any tricks, she couldn’t help feeling utterly out of her depth. It was an uncomfortable sensation for Catherine.
Had it not been for losing so much money to Lin Feng, she wouldn’t have persisted for so long. But to her surprise, even though she tried hard, she kept losing money during this time. This situation made Catherine feel very uneasy, leaving her no choice but to wait for an opportunity to win back the money she had lost before ending the gambling for today.
After finally waiting for such a good opportunity, Catherine didn’t want to let it slip away. She had waited a long time for this hand and wanted Lin Feng to agree to go all-in because she feared that without speaking up sooner, Lin Feng would crush her good hand. Having no other choice, Catherine spoke up, pleading with Lin Feng, hoping that he would give her this chance. Otherwise, she really didn’t know how she would carry on.
After all, Lin Feng now had nearly three billion US Dollars in chips, while she had only about one billion left. In a situation like this, if Lin Feng didn’t give her this chance, she had no hope of recovering. It was very clear that in such a super gambling situation, there was no limit. At this point, Catherine regretted terribly not setting a limit earlier. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been as distressed as she was now.
