His nonchalant demeanor suggested he didn't care about winning or losing at all, as if he just wanted to end the game as quickly as possible.
Compared to Qin Ge's nonchalant attitude towards the stakes, Qin Hao was much more nervous and cautious.
Qin Hao pressed his fingers on the cards, moving them aside one by one. When he saw his own cards, his eyes lit up with surprise.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
I became more confident.
He pushed out all the chips on the table and boasted, "Call!"
Qin Ge interlaced his fingers, leaned back in his seat, nodded with his chin, and gestured to Qin Hao, "Start driving."
Qin Hao had a strong hand; it was a straight.
Having spent so many days in the casino, playing all sorts of games, big and small, Qin Hao was no longer the clueless newbie he was when Liu Zi first brought him in.
Qin Hao threw down his cards, a smug look on his face, and said, "My hand is the highest-ranking straight. How about I admit defeat? If you want to beat me, you'll need at least a straight flush..."
Before Qin Hao could finish speaking, Qin Ge flipped over the cards one by one, revealing the face of each card on the dark green tablecloth.
"Oh, sorry, it's a straight flush."
Seeing Qin Hao's face suddenly turn ashen, Qin Ge shrugged, his tone devoid of any apology, and said casually:
"It seems I won again."
The most lethal form of showing off is the subtle kind.
Qin Hao, who had just been brimming with confidence, suddenly slumped in his chair, his face filled with dejection, and only one sentence kept swirling in his mind:
We lost.
He lost.
It's over.
There's nothing left.
The sounds from all around Qin Hao reached his ears: mockery, ridicule, pity...
"Isn't he supposed to be the God of Gamblers? How come he hasn't won a single game tonight?"
"I was lucky a few days ago, but now I've met a real master."
"He lost so miserably, he looked like a dog..."
Having suffered a crushing defeat, Qin Hao was clearly unwilling to accept that he had gone from a multi-millionaire to a penniless pauper overnight. His eyes were bloodshot, and he muttered to himself, "No, it can't be, how could I lose? How could I lose? I'm the God of Gamblers... I'm clearly the God of Gamblers, winning nine out of ten times..."
The next second, he suddenly glared at the richly dressed young man in black across the gambling table with bloodshot eyes. His limp body straightened abruptly, his hands slamming on the table, half his body leaning over the table in an aggressive stance: "It's you—"
"You cheated!"
"You must have cheated, otherwise how could I not have won even once?!"
Qin Ge leaned back lazily in his seat, fiddling with a lighter. The silver-cased lighter and a faint blue flame were nimbly twirled between the boy's slender, pale fingers, like a dazzling magic show.
The eerie blue flames reflected on the boy's gilded, openwork mask, and the corners of his bright lips curved into a smile.
Speaks slowly and deliberately:
"You're asking why you didn't win a single game tonight?"
"The answer is simple: you're not a gambling god at all. You won by luck before, but obviously, your luck has run out when you meet me."
In other words—
"When you meet me, you're just... trash."
People around him said Qin Ge was very arrogant.
But then I thought, they've won every single bet tonight, they have that kind of arrogant ability.
On the contrary, the "God of Gamblers" who has been very popular at "Heaven on Earth" recently seems to be a sore loser.
How could Qin Hao possibly admit that he was trash?
He was thoroughly enraged by Qin Ge's few words and came over to beat Qin Ge, but before he could get close, he was pinned down by the casino's bodyguards, who were still cursing him.
Qin Ge put away the lighter, gracefully rose and left, leaving behind a legend at 'Heaven on Earth'...
He no longer cared about Qin Hao's fate.
It's obvious what kind of fate awaits Qin Hao, who is addicted to gambling but lacks both luck and skill.
With this, Qin Ge's revenge against the Qin family was complete.
?
When they returned to the second floor of the casino, Huo Beiyuan was accompanied by an unfamiliar face.
She was a woman wearing a V-neck bodycon black dress, with big wavy hair and bright red lips, who looked both charming and dashing.
Well, it really suits the vibe of this casino.
She has a bit of a mafia boss vibe.
Qin Ge paused almost imperceptibly, then resumed his normal pace the next second, walking over at a leisurely pace while raising his hand to remove the gilded openwork mask from his face.
"Little brother, your gambling skills are quite impressive, you're a force to be reckoned with. Would you be interested in working for our casino?" The woman's words were clearly an invitation, her long, narrow phoenix eyes fixed on the young man, and her smile showed that she was very satisfied with Qin Ge.
Qin Ge frowned.
What's wrong with these people? They always like to call him "little brother."
Is he very young?
Seeing Qin Ge frown, Shen Chi assumed he was unhappy about being teased and quickly said, "Miss Huo Lin, Young Master Qin is currently studying at G University, so it's probably not suitable for him."
Upon hearing this, Huo Lin's eyes immediately lit up with curiosity as she looked at the boy. She smiled and said, "So you're the little guy that Bei Yuan keeps in Jiyuan."
Qin Ge was speechless.
It's either a little brother or a little guy.
That's enough.
"Huo Lin." Huo Beiyuan spoke, calling out the woman's name, just two words, but his tone carried a hint of warning.
Holly shrugged. "Okay, I'll shut up, alright?"
In front of the revered Master Huo of Beicheng, Huo Lin did not have that sense of being cautious and timid. Her words and actions were quite unrestrained, and there was even a rare touch of intimacy between them, although this intimacy was not between a man and a woman.
She added, "I thought that having another person around you would add some warmth, but I didn't expect you to be as heartless as ever."
"I'm your sister, after all!"
Qin Ge was not surprised.
The former head of the Huo family was a womanizer who kept countless wives and concubines, resulting in more than a dozen children, from the eldest daughter Huo Rong to the youngest Huo Beiyuan.
Huo Beiyuan has many brothers and sisters, the kind who are half-brothers.
However, due to the severe internal strife and fierce competition within the Huo family, half of them died or were rendered useless. Those who survived were either harmless or sensible enough to hold sinecure positions within the Huo family and receive annual dividends, which was enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
For example, Huo Lin didn't get involved in the power struggle within the Huo family back then. Now she manages the "Heaven on Earth" casino and is considered a well-known Huo family lady. The Huo family doesn't need her to get married, and although she's 29, she has no intention of getting married. Instead, she keeps several lovers and lives a very happy life.
It seems that Huo Lin and Huo Beiyuan have a good relationship.
However, no matter how cheerful and generous Huo Lin appeared, and how kind she showed him, Qin Ge did not intend to get too close to Huo Lin.
Huo Beiyuan glanced at her and said, "You can get lost now."
Huo Lin wasn't annoyed. "Okay, I won't disturb your date with your boyfriend."
Qin Ge really wanted to correct her.
When addressing someone, please just use that word, but can you please not add "little" to it?
However, considering that Huo Lin had already been expelled from the core of the Huo family's power structure and that he would not have much interaction with her in the future, Qin Ge decided to hold back.
After Huo Lin left gracefully in her high heels and sexy black dress, Huo Beiyuan turned his gaze to Qin Ge, and with a completely different attitude and tone than when he treated Huo Lin, asked in a lazy and casual tone, "Baby, did you have fun?"
Qin Ge replied, "It's alright."
There's absolutely no skill involved in taking down a scumbag.
There's not much fun in hanging out with Qin Hao.
As Qin Ge's special assistant, Shen Chi was adept at reading people's expressions. He noticed Qin Ge's lack of interest and flattered him, saying, "Young Master Qin, your master is an excellent gambler. You can ask him to play with you sometime in the future."
"Really?" Qin Ge looked at Huo Beiyuan, her gaze questioning.
Meeting the boy's suddenly brightened gaze, the man nodded, "Mm."
Chen Chi stole a glance at the man's face, thinking to herself, "I'm going to get a raise this time, the reason being that I have to step into the company with my left foot first tomorrow!"
