Qiao Xun licked his lips. Facing the dealer's question, he looked frantic and said, "I'll raise."
"How much would you like to add?" The dealer still smiled sweetly.
"I..." Qiao Xun was now penniless, so how could he afford to add more money? After hesitating for a while, he said, "You guys... can mortgage organs here, right?"
The dealer said, "If you want to raise the bet, you have to bet at least 30 million." She smiled and said, "Even if you mortgage all your organs, it wouldn't be worth that much."
Qiao Xun's face turned grim: "I will definitely win. When I win, won't all this money be mine?!"
The dealer, having seen many unreasonable customers, was not surprised. Instead, he said, "Please abide by the rules of Iris Casino. Before you look at the cards, it's not certain who will win or lose."
Qiao Xun became irritated.
How could he not be annoyed when he was about to make a lot of money but didn't have enough chips?
At this time, Jiang Rong suddenly asked, "Do you really want to continue betting with me?"
Qiao Xun forced a smile: "It's already this late, of course."
Jiang Rong nodded and said to the dealer, "I remember there's a rule here. As long as one party in the gambling game agrees that the other party's pledged item is worth that price, they can temporarily pledge it and get chips of equal value. In other words, if I agree that Qiao Xun's pledged item is worth 30 million, then he can temporarily withdraw 30 million chips and continue betting."
The dealer was a little surprised, "You actually know this rule?"
It is said that the origin of this rule is that the eldest lady of the Iris Casino made a big bet with someone, and the other party was unable to pay the chips, so the eldest lady asked him to mortgage something of his own in exchange for chips. As long as the other party recognized the value of such an item, the Iris Casino would also recognize the value of such an item.
Jiang Rong just smiled and said, "Does this rule still apply now?"
"Of course," the dealer said, "but Miss, are you sure you want to do this? If you lose, you will have to pay the 30 million yuan that the other party raised this time."
"If we're playing, of course we have to have fun." Jiang Rong nonchalantly toyed with a chip and looked at Qiao Xun with a smile: "If you want to keep raising the bet, you can mortgage something with me."
"...What do you want?" Qiao Xun asked warily.
"Don't worry, I don't want your heart or your kidneys." Jiang Rong smiled and said casually, "If I lose, I can use three of your fingers to pay for the 30 million. One finger is 10 million. Even if it were made of gold, it wouldn't be that expensive."
Qiao Xun's eyes widened: "You only need three fingers?!"
"Hmm." Jiang Rong said, "We're all friends, it would be boring to make a scene."
Qiao Xun said without hesitation: "Okay! I promise! I'll mortgage three fingers to you!"
"The agreement between the two parties has come into effect." The dealer raised his hand, and someone immediately brought the chips. Qiao Xun pushed them all into the gambling pool. The chips on the table had piled up into a small mountain, majestic and spectacular.
"All in." Qiao Xun stared at the dealer's hand, licking his lips nervously, "Hurry up and deal out the last community card!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the dealer dealt the last public card and turned it over.
"7! It's a 7!!" Qiao Xun jumped up the moment he saw the card, his face flushed with excitement as he shouted at the top of his lungs, "7 of spades! Straight flush! I win!"
He turned over his hand, and saw an 8 of spades and a 9 of spades, which formed a straight flush with the 10 and J in the community cards!
The whole audience was in an uproar.
What kind of luck did Qiao Xun have today? He actually got a straight flush, and the cards are so big!
"I won... I won!" Qiao Xun excitedly shoved the chips in front of him, looking like a madman—but then again, who wouldn't be going crazy with excitement after winning over 50 million in such a short period of time?!
Jiang Rong remained seated, his fingers tapping slowly on the table. The dealer frowned and said, "Sir, please control your emotions. This lady hasn't revealed her cards yet."
Qiao Xun laughed heartily and said, "I have a straight flush! A straight flush of spades. How can she beat me?!"
The dealer emphasized, "Sir, please put your chips back."
Qiao Xun made a pooh-pooh sound, but because this was the Iris Casino, he reluctantly pushed the chips back - it would be his in the end anyway, so there was no need to rush.
"Thank you for letting me mortgage 30 million." Qiao Xun was confident of victory and acted very proudly. He smiled at Jiang Rong and said, "I feel bad about beating you, but there are no brothers in the casino, so there's nothing I can do about it."
Jiang Rong smiled and said, "You think you've won before we even start comparing cards?"
Qiao Xun grinned. "You weren't really listening when I told you the rules, were you? A straight flush! That's the second-highest card! Ask them how many straight flushes they get here in a year? Don't waste time, turn over your cards quickly. After we finish this game, I can exchange the chips for cash."
"Oh, by the way, you still have to pay me another 30 million, and I won't accept three fingers as collateral."
Jiang Rong said with interest: "You are quite good at crossing the river and destroying the bridge."
Qiao Xun said contemptuously, "What do you mean by 'burning the bridge after crossing it'? You're slandering me because you lost, right? Stop the nonsense and open your cards!"
Jiang Rong sighed lightly and casually turned over one of the cards in his hand, and saw that it was a King of Spades.
Someone sighed: "This K seems to be of no use at the moment. Lose, lose."
"A newbie who knows nothing about anything is making such a big deal...it can be considered a lesson learned."
"This lesson is too expensive, tens of millions!"
"I think this little girl will be scolded to death by her brother when she goes back."
"Although this little girl is a spendthrift, this Qiao guy is also a piece of shit."
The crowd was talking about it, but Qiao Xun didn't care. These people were just jealous of him. After all, this was a real sum of more than 50 million!
He was already thinking about how to spend the money, and his face was even more impatient: "You still have one card? Turn it over quickly! You're wasting time by dilly-dallying!"
Jiang Rong lowered his eyelashes and smiled slightly as he turned over the last card in his hand. The Queen of Spades looked like a gaping bloody mouth under the light, sneering at Qiao Xun.
"Royal Flush." Jiang Rong said softly.
The crowd was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After about two or three seconds, the crowd, as if being strangled, finally uttered a startled cry: "Royal Flush?! Am I seeing this right?!"
"Oh my god... I've never seen anyone do a royal flush here before!"
"What kind of luck is this!"
Jiang Rong pulled out the 10, J, and A from the public cards and placed them next to his own hand. He leaned against the table and looked at Qiao Xun calmly: "10, J, Q, K, A, is a Royal Flush bigger than your Straight Flush?"
Qiao Xun's face turned pale as he looked at the thin cards in disbelief.
Jiang Rong asked softly, "When will you give me your three fingers?"
