Chapter 62 - 62 62 All In 3
?62: Chapter 62: All In (3) 62: Chapter 62: All In (3) “Looks like Young Master Wang’s gambling skills aren’t up to much.
As the old saying goes, ‘You’ve gotta have guts to gamble big.''” Ye Feng was obviously taking advantage of his good fortune and cheekily taunted out loud.
Wang Jia was already somewhat frustrated, and Ye Feng’s words just added to his irritation.
He was so annoyed that he wanted to strangle Ye Feng.
Amidst Ye Feng’s teasing, the new round of betting officially began.
As the croupier dealt the cards, Ye Feng felt an upsurge of joy in his heart.
There’s truth in the saying ‘Fortunes rotate like the wind; today, it’s my house’s turn.’ This round was very much like the last one, but the roles of the protagonists had switched.
This round, Wang Jia got a pair of Aces, while Ye Feng received the nine and ten of spades—this time, it was Ye Feng’s turn to aim for a straight flush.
But Ye Feng had Penetrating Vision and Wang Jia did not, so the outcome would definitely not be the same.
Using his Penetrating Vision, Ye Feng glanced at the cards and effortlessly knew which cards were coming up next.
Seeing the final hands both he and Wang Jia would have, Ye Feng couldn’t help but feel delighted—this round might just lead to a big win.
“500,000!” Wang Jia tapped the table and, feigning depth, pushed out chips worth 500,000.
Wang Jia couldn’t afford to place too small a bet, but he also feared scaring Ye Feng away, so he pretended to have a not-so-great hand, betting in a one-time expression.
“I’ll follow!” Ye Feng rubbed his palms together and, without any hesitation, put out his own 500,000 chips while wearing an utterly unconcerned expression.
“Come on, have a cherry.” Seeing Ye Feng’s confidence, Liu Sisi, who was sitting beside him, picked up a cherry with a toothpick and placed it in Ye Feng’s mouth.
“Thanks!” Although it was just a regular cherry, Ye Feng felt as sweet inside as if he had tasted honey.
In another time, Ye Feng wouldn’t have even dared to dream of such a scene.
When could he have imagined that a top domestic star would gamble with him or even feed him?
“Damn, you sure know how to live it up.
I gotta find someone for myself too.” Seeing Ye Feng getting special treatment, Li Minjie felt a little miffed, seemingly wanting a beautiful star to wait on him as well.
“Pfft!” Ye Feng gave Li Minjie a disdainful gesture and indulged in the cherry in his mouth.
While the three were messing around, the croupier had already dealt the third card.
Wang Jia got another Ace, while Ye Feng received the Jack of spades.
Seeing that he now had three Aces, Wang Jia felt a surge of joy, believing he could win back what he had lost in the previous round, plus some.
“1 million!” Hiding his ecstatic heart, Wang Jia emotionlessly pushed forward chips worth 1 million.
“Heh, such good cards, and that’s all you’re betting?
Isn’t that a bit stingy?” However, the gleam that flashed in Wang Jia’s eyes had not escaped Ye Feng’s notice; even without Penetrating Vision, he would have known that Wang Jia had a good hand.
“Since you’re giving me a chance at a straight flush, there’s no reason for me not to follow.
I match your 1 million,” Ye Feng said, feigning a gesture as he too pushed out 1 million in chips.
Although Ye Feng could choose to call without concealing anything, doing so would make it too easy for others to notice something odd, and if someone from a certain department took interest, that could lead to a lot of trouble.
“You little rascal, that’s all my savings you’re playing with.
If you lose it all, I’m not going to let you off the hook,” Li Minjie said, his heart aching as he saw Ye Feng following the bet even though his chances of winning didn’t seem great.
“I...,” Ye Feng was at a loss for words.
He wasn’t even fussed about risking his own millions, yet Li Minjie was getting worked up over a few hundred thousand.
Ye Feng even started to doubt whether Li Minjie was truly from a wealthy family.
The atmosphere on the scene skyrocketed as the fourth card was revealed.
Three Aces facing off against a straight flush was a rare encounter, yet tonight it happened twice; the previous round ended with Wang Jia backing down, but this time?
Would Ye Feng choose to call?
The crowd was extremely anticipatory.
“I’m all in!” With such cards, Wang Jia certainly wouldn’t give Ye Feng a chance and shoved all his chips forward—going all in!
Although Ye Feng was eager to call, he still feigned hesitation; playing too obviously could raise suspicion.
“Call!
I’m calling!”
“All in!
Go all in!”
“Raise!
Raise the bet!”
To avoid an ending like the last round, audience members started shouting loudly, some even hoping Ye Feng would raise the stakes.
“Hehe!
The audience is quite passionate, aren’t they?
Let me ask you, Wang Jia, may I heed the audience’s request and opt to raise?” Ye Feng attracted attention with the clamor for a raise, so he joked with a chuckle.
“What do you want to wager?” Although Wang Jia was a bit annoyed, he couldn’t back down at this point; otherwise, word would spread that he was afraid of Ye Feng.
“How about this, the ancient jade you’re wearing around your neck seems pretty decent.
I’ll wager all my chips if you bet your jade pendant.
How’s that?” Ye Feng had inadvertently noticed that Wang Jia’s ancient jade seemed to emit a strong red light, and he had long harbored the intention of getting it.
“You think a mere million plus is enough to bet for my ancient jade?
Aren’t you being a bit nai?ve?” Wang Jia frowned, feeling slighted as the jade pendant around his neck was worth at least five million, yet Ye Feng was insinuating it was only worth a little over a million, which naturally irked him.
“Then you name the price.
How much do you think it’s worth?” Ye Feng was tongue-tied, not expecting the old jade to actually be worth a decent sum, something he hadn’t anticipated.
“Five million.
If you come up with five million, I’ll bet this jade pendant.” Although the pendant might be worth even more, Wang Jia decided to state five million in the hopes of winning more money.
“No worries, I’ll lend you whatever you’re short.” Seeing the embarrassed look on Ye Feng’s face, Liu Sisi realized he might not have enough money and hurriedly pulled out her bank card.
“Thank you, I will pay you back double.” Ye Feng was just thinking about how to speak up when Liu Sisi took the initiative, which moved him.
“It’s fine!
Come on, swipe for 3.8 million in chips.” Liu Sisi smiled indifferently and handed her bank card to the croupier.
“Holy smokes!
This Ye Feng really knows how to keep it interesting.
Not only does he call, but he also raises the stakes.
This is truly f*cking thrilling.”
“The last round wasn’t satisfying enough, but this round is going to be a real treat.
I wonder who will emerge victorious in the end?”
Seeing that Ye Feng was truly raising the bet, the spectators grew even more excited, engaging in heated debate as if witnessing a world-class battle.
“You kid, prepare to strip down and pay off your debt if you lose!” Li Minjie felt like crying without tears; Ye Feng was being too bold for his own good, making him feel unsettled.
The opponent’s cards obviously had the upper hand, and with the stakes so high, this guy was recklessly choosing to raise.
If he lost, he would probably be mortified beyond belief.
