Chapter 357: Brother Feng's Righteousness Reaches the Heavens!
"Fists fear the young, and so do gambling skills."
Lin Feng looked at Chan Kam-Shing with a smile.
"There are no fathers and sons at the gambling table, and besides, we're not familiar with each other, so I won't bother with showing respect to elders and caring for the young."
"You've repeatedly dodged my sharp edge, trying to get a good hand to turn the tide."
"But an hour has passed, and besides the five million ante you've thrown in, you haven't managed to get a single decent hand."
Lin Feng's voice clearly reached everyone's ears.
"Your up-card is a K, your hole card is a K, but you don't want it. You think, 'How great if the hole card were an A.' "
"Your up-card is a Q, your hole card is an A, but you don't want it. You think, 'How great if the up-card were a K.' "
"You're always waiting for the next hand, always thinking the next one will be better."
"The regrettable thing is, Stud Poker is played with five cards."
"Only two cards have been dealt. How can you judge what the remaining three cards will be?"
"Tonight, you will surely lose!"
Everyone was in an uproar.
They looked at each other, all feeling it was incredible.
One of the gamblers was the Devil of Gamblers Chan Kam-Shing, and the other was Hung Hing's big boss Lin Feng.
No one thought this was an evenly matched contest. After all, Ko Chun, whom Lin Feng replaced, was the opponent they had been expecting.
A showdown between the God of Gamblers and the Devil of Gamblers was what they wanted to see.
Lin Feng was merely being forced into action.
However, Lin Feng's reputation in Hong Kong and Macau was truly resounding. If they couldn't see the century-long battle between the God of Gamblers and the Devil of Gamblers, then a showdown between Hung Hing's big boss and the Devil of Gamblers would also suffice.
Since they weren't personally participating, it was better to support someone more familiar.
The God of Gamblers had a famous name, but all his photos were of his back; he didn't even have a front-facing picture.
Even if Ko Chun came right next to you, you wouldn't recognize him.
What?
When Ko Chun appeared, the flashlights were dazzling?
Please, the reporters' film would be confiscated.
The Eight Generals of the Thousand Gates were not some small-time hoodlums; of course, the fewer people who knew him, the better.
Young and Dangerous needed fame, and not just a small reputation, but a great name!
In comparison, Lin Feng was much more approachable.
Furthermore, compared to Chan Kam-Shing, Lin Feng was a genuine novice in the gambling world, the weaker party.
If you randomly asked a hundred strangers whose winning odds were higher between these two, a hundred percent of them would say the Devil of Gamblers Chan Kam-Shing.
Sympathy for the weak is the nature of good people.
Who would have thought that the gambling match between these two would develop to such a point?
It looked like Lin Feng was actually going to win!
The strangeness of events could not exceed this.
"Mr. Lin is using his influence to intimidate."
Kamiyama's mouth showed a hint of a smile.
"I originally thought Mr. Lin would compete with Chan Kam-Shing using skill."
"But I didn't expect him to use this method."
"Is this using brute force to overcome skill?"
Kamiyama praised him endlessly.
Lin Feng's approach completely negated the gambling skill gap between him and Chan Kam-Shing, relying purely on luck and courage.
Whoever had the courage to risk it all and enough luck would win.
He didn't even consider flashy gambling techniques.
Chan Kam-Shing was a notorious old fox in the gambling world, willing to do anything to win.
Even if his gambling skills were among the best in the world.
Even if, purely by genuine skill, they were number one.
But he didn't dare.
Chan Kam-Shing's personality dictated that he wasn't the type of person who could steel himself to risk everything.
Lin Feng actually used such a simple and crude method to force Chan Kam-Shing to abandon his advantage.
Impressive!
"This is Mr. Lin's style."
Lin Ho-tung chuckled as he added to Kamiyama's statement.
Kamiyama looked at him in surprise: "What is Mr. Lin's style like?"
"Either he doesn't move, or he strikes to kill."
Lin Ho-tung's eye twitched whenever he thought of what Lin Feng had done.
Even though he was Chung Yee Shun, he was still alarmed by Lin Feng's methods.
Of course he wasn't afraid of Lin Feng.
But honestly, facing Lin Feng's methods, who dared not to care?
Lin Ho-lung might not care, but Lin Ho-tung hadn't reached that level.
Recalling Lin Feng's setup on the day of the Dragon Head banquet, Lin Ho-tung didn't even have the strength to resist.
He had walked step by step into the situation Lin Feng had set up without realizing it.
It was simply tragic to the extreme.
"Don't worry, Chan Kam-Shing will surely lose."
Lin Ho-tung said.
Sweat appeared on Chan Kam-Shing's face.
Legitimate Stud Poker is actually a game of calculation.
There are fifty-four cards in a deck, and the probability of a straight flush is actually very small.
Serious gamblers would calculate the probabilities and choose to hit or fold based on those odds.
Dishonest gamblers would cheat.
But no matter which kind, none were as reckless as Lin Feng.
Who goes all-in every hand?
What kind of grudge match is this?
This is clearly just fooling around!
When Lin Feng first entered, Chan Kam-Shing was very relaxed. His headache was how to win without completely crushing his opponent in the game, as the opponent was a true Hung Hing boss.
If something went wrong, people would die.
An hour into the game, Chan Kam-Shing had already thrown that thought out the window.
What a joke?!
If he didn't use some tricks to win against the other party, he would be the one to die.
Chan Kam-Shing looked at the smiling Lin Feng and secretly thought, "Not good!"
He fell into a trap!
Where was the arrogance of the guy in front of him now?
He was refined and polite, more like a cultured person than himself.
Yet, when he first appeared, he put on the air of a reckless gangster boss, going all-in every hand, slowly devouring his antes.
The antes were indeed insignificant.
Just three hundred thousand or five hundred thousand.
But after nearly twenty hands, not only had the antes completely disappeared, but he himself was also thrown into disarray by Lin Feng.
Anyone who said Lin Feng couldn't gamble, Chan Kam-Shing would throw them into the sea to feed the fish!
A master!
A master at manipulating people's minds!
Chan Kam-Shing composed himself:
"Mr. Lin is indeed worthy of being a Hung Hing boss."
"This tactic is truly impossible to guard against."
"I admit, I fell into your psychological trap."
"However, you forgot one thing."
Lin Feng asked with interest:
"Which point?"
Chan Kam-Shing took a puff from his pipe, using it to calm himself down and secretly engage in psychological self-construction and suggestion.
"At the gambling table, the stronger gambler ultimately wins!"
Lin Feng laughed heartily:
"That's not necessarily true."
"Luck is crucial. Otherwise, no matter how skilled you are at gambling, if you're dealt a hand of random cards, you won't win."
Chan Kam-Shing thought to himself, to deal with someone like you, if I really got a random hand, I could cheat and kill you!
"Still, the saying goes, he who laughs last, laughs best."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"That's true, going a hundred li, ninety li is half the way."
He waved his hand and instructed the dealer,
"Continue."
So the showdown continued.
Everyone originally thought that since Chan Kam-Shing had already lost so much, he should have followed.
But to everyone's disappointment, Chan Kam-Shing didn't follow.
He still folded, just like before.
Everyone whispered, unable to understand where Chan Kam-Shing got his confidence.
Another half an hour passed, and Chan Kam-Shing's lost antes were almost seven million.
The audience was particularly helpless.
We came to watch a century-long showdown.
Even if Lin Feng wasn't Ko Chun, his identity as a Hung Hing boss was still very intimidating.
When the two sides gambled, Chan Kam-Shing should have displayed extraordinary gambling skills, right?
The result? Is this it?
It can't be!
Is time running out?
Then the game continued, and after another fifteen minutes, Chan Kam-Shing still didn't follow.
Lin Feng suddenly said to Chan Kam-Shing:
"I've won this showdown, haven't I?"
The whole room was stunned.
Chan Kam-Shing was unfazed:
"There are still fifteen minutes left. You haven't necessarily lost until the end."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"I originally wanted to finish gambling with you early, to end it quickly."
"I didn't expect you to avoid fighting."
"How disappointing."
"At least you're a senior in the gambling world; I wanted to give you some respect."
"Since you don't want respect, then I won't give you any."
Chan Kam-Shing was startled, suddenly having a bad premonition:
"What are you trying to say?"
Lin Feng leaned back in his chair, looking at him playfully:
"There's only fifteen minutes left. Even if you want to gamble, I won't let you."
Chan Kam-Shing's face changed drastically:
"Mr. Lin, what do you mean?"
Lin Feng smiled:
"I think your method is very good, so, I've learned your tactic."
Chan Kam-Shing felt a vague unease.
Just then, the dealer started a new round.
Chan Kam-Shing's up-card was a 10 of hearts.
Lin Feng's up-card was a 2 of spades. Ten is greater than two.
Chan Kam-Shing said:
"Three hundred thousand!"
He had expected Lin Feng to go all-in as before, but to his utter surprise, Lin Feng folded his cards and shook his head:
"I'm out!"
The whole room was dumbfounded!
Chan Kam-Shing was stunned.
"Why aren't you following?"
"Why aren't you continuing to go all-in? Your hole card is clearly an A…"
Chan Kam-Shing suddenly realized he had misspoken.
Lin Feng looked at the other party curiously:
"You can actually calculate what my hole card is?"
Lin Feng casually flipped over his card, and indeed, the hole card was an Ace of Spades.
"Truly the Devil of Gamblers!"
Lin Feng praised greatly.
"You can even see my hole card clearly?"
"Truly amazing!"
A commotion erupted among the crowd.
Li Fu stepped forward:
"Brother Feng!"
Lin Feng glanced at him:
"What's with the fuss? He's the Devil of Gamblers; what's so strange about him figuring out my hole card?"
Everyone was stunned.
How could anyone possibly know their opponent's hole card at the start of a game?
Unless he had x-ray vision.
But that was impossible to imagine.
Since it wasn't x-ray vision, there was only one explanation—cheating!
"This is bad!"
Kamiyama's expression changed drastically.
"Chan Kam-Shing can actually see Mr. Lin's hole card; this gamble is going to go poorly."
Lin Ho-tung was unconcerned:
"So what if he can see the hole card?"
"Just switch the hole card, and it's fine."
Kamiyama was both exasperated and amused:
"Mr. Lian, you're joking."
"In front of the gambling judges, switching a hole card is cheating. If they catch you, not only will you lose a hand, but this gamble will also be ruled a loss!"
Lin Ho-tung sneered:
"He hasn't even looked at the cards, and he's already switched the hole card. How can you rule him a loser?"
Kamiyama was taken aback:
"How is that possible?"
"Even the God of Gamblers would probably find it difficult to do that, right?"
Lin Ho-tung wondered:
"The God of Gamblers can't do it?"
"Impossible?!"
How could the God of Gamblers not be able to do it?
Lin Feng could easily do it.
Lin Ho-tung couldn't help but feel frustrated remembering the gambling game at the Dragon Head banquet.
People who hadn't experienced that kind of gamble would never believe what he went through.
No!
The God of Gamblers could definitely do it too.
If he couldn't even change cards from a distance, what kind of God of Gamblers would he be?
Lin Feng ignored the audience's chatter, merely stating calmly:
"I'm not calling, so what are you going to do?"
"You made me sit for an hour and forty-five minutes; I've lost all interest in gambling with you."
"When you're out in the world, it's about dignity. I wanted to give you dignity, but you refused it."
"In that case, don't expect any dignity."
"For every small round from now on, I won't call!"
"A deck of cards takes five minutes; fifteen minutes is only the time for three decks."
"There are only three more decks!"
Chan Kam-Shing's face changed dramatically.
The entire venue was in an uproar.
The judges also exchanged bewildered glances.
Today's gambling game was truly an eye-opener.
In fact, Chan Kam-Shing's approach wasn't wrong.
It was merely avoiding the sharp edge.
Even if the judges themselves were to play, facing Lin Feng's all-in hands, they would also have to avoid his sharp edge.
Chan Kam-Shing's face was filled with disbelief:
"Mr. Lin, didn't you come here to defeat me?"
"Winning like this wouldn't bring any sense of accomplishment, would it?"
Lin Feng looked at him in surprise:
"I was entrusted by someone to fulfill a duty."
"I joined the gamble."
"And I won against you!"
"What can others say about me?"
Kamiyama, being a man of principle, immediately rose from his seat and bowed ninety degrees towards Lin Feng:
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Lin!"
Originally, the God of Gamblers, Ko Chun, was supposed to play, but now Ko Chun couldn't participate, and Lin Feng had taken his place.
It was false to say that Kamiyama had confidence.
Now Lin Feng had perfectly fulfilled the requested task, defeating Chan Kam-Shing.
Kamiyama didn't care how Lin Feng won.
At the gambling table, winning is winning, and losing is losing!
Lin Feng's way of winning made Kamiyama particularly satisfied!
You boasted about your superior gambling skills, didn't you?
Then come on!
He let him wait for an hour and three-quarters, foolishly assuming Lin Feng would engage in a battle of pride.
As a result, he quit!
From start to finish, Chan Kam-Shing was under Lin Feng's control.
Kamiyama admired Lin Feng immensely.
Going all-in right from the start, taking the initiative, and pressuring Chan Kam-Shing so he couldn't change his hand.
If the two had truly started gambling, one deck would decide the winner.
It would be hard to say who would win or lose.
But Chan Kam-Shing endured, after all, the Devil of Gamblers was quite old.
The wisdom of an older person is to avoid the opponent's sharp edge, and as a result, he fell into the trap.
He had intended to decide the outcome in the last three rounds, but then he quit!
Chan Kam-Shing was so frustrated he wanted to vomit blood.
"I'm all-in!"
Lin Feng folded his cards.
"I'm not calling!"
Chan Kam-Shing shouted:
"I'm all-in, Mr. Lin, you wouldn't seriously not call even one round with me, would you?"
Lin Feng looked at him as if he were an idiot:
"From beginning to end, I've been winning against you."
"After winning all night, of course, I should let you have three small rounds. Otherwise, people might think I don't respect my elders and cherish the young!"
"I'm not calling!"
The gambling judge announced loudly:
"The participants in this gamble are Lin Feng and Chan Kam-Shing. Counting the points, Lin Feng wins!"
The crowd erupted in an uproar!
They were extremely dissatisfied.
What is this?
We waited for two hours, and this is what you show us?
It must be fake, right?
Although Lin Feng won against Chan Kam-Shing, the dark horse went all the way.
But it was unsatisfying!
Not satisfying at all.
Lin Feng pouted. He was just here to help, not to gamble with Chan Kam-Shing himself. If there was a simple way, he would use it; he wasn't stupid enough to insist on suspense.
Chan Kam-Shing's face was filled with unwillingness:
"Mr. Lin, you're already at the gambling table, why not have another round?"
When had the Devil of Gamblers ever suffered such a great loss?
He thought he was outsmarting others, but he was outsmarted himself.
He hadn't shown any of his skills from beginning to end... It was infuriating!
Lin Feng said indifferently:
"I already gave you enough dignity during the intermission, but you didn't want it."
"So you can't blame me, right?"
"Your own choice, don't regret it!"
Chan Kam-Shing was choked speechless.
If it were someone else, being outsmarted like this, at most they would just try again next time.
But Lin Feng wasn't a professional gambler; he was a Young and Dangerous boss. This battle was just to help a friend. Wanting to gamble with him again, who knew when that would be!
He thought about it, still unwilling:
"Mr. Lin, this time I absolutely won't back down."
Chan Kam-Shing looked at Lin Feng eagerly.
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said:
"That's also possible, but we have to raise the stakes!"
The hall fell silent in an uproar.
There's a second round?
Kamiyama quickly advised:
"Mr. Lin, Chan Kam-Shing is the Devil of Gamblers, he's best at using tricks outside the game."
"We've won, so we've won. Why go again?"
Lin Feng chuckled:
"He's practically begging to give me money; if I don't take it, wouldn't I be an idiot?"
"The boss said, when you're out in the world, it's all about money!"
He ignored Kamiyama and turned to Chan Kam-Shing, saying:
"It's very simple if you want to gamble with me."
"You need to prepare sufficient gambling funds. Anything less than five hundred million US dollars, there's no need to come to the table."
The entire hall was silent.
Five hundred million?
And in US dollars?!
Lin Ho-tung's hands turned white.
The entire underworld knew Lin Feng was Hung Hing's big financier, they all knew he was rich, but they never expected him to be *that* rich!!
Five hundred million US dollars casually placed on the gambling table.
This was insane!
Chan Kam-Shing was overjoyed:
"So you accept?"
Lin Feng retorted:
"Do you have five hundred million US dollars?"
"If you don't have five hundred million, don't waste my time."
"I don't participate in small gambling games."
He explained casually,
"If it weren't for Lung Wu's favor this time, I wouldn't have participated in such a small event."
Hiss!
Lin Ho-tung gasped, sighing inwardly, 'You really know how to show off.'
And not participating in small gambling games... then why did you participate in our gambling game?
That was also a small gambling game.
Chan Kam-Shing chuckled dryly:
"Mr. Lin, you're joking..."
Lin Feng shook his head:
"My face can be used as money; I never joke."
"If you don't have five hundred million US dollars, then there's nothing more to say."
"Lest I waste my time."
"I still have to go back to sleep!"
Chan Kam-Shing's anger surged, and he shouted:
"Five hundred million US dollars, I have it!"
He suddenly pulled out a bank cashier's check book,
"Five hundred million US dollars is here!"
The gambling judge contacted someone to verify it and immediately nodded:
"Confirmed."
Everyone was in an uproar; Chan Kam-Shing really did have five hundred million US dollars.
Chan Kam-Shing was smug:
"Mr. Lin, now it's your turn."
"My five hundred million is here, where's yours?"
"If you can't produce five hundred million, then you'll be a laughingstock."
Kamiyama quickly said:
"Mr. Lin, I am willing to pay five hundred million US dollars for you."
Lin Feng had helped him win the match and fulfilled his wish, so of course, he had to thank Lin Feng properly.
Chan Kam-Shing's gaze towards Kamiyama was particularly fierce—he should have just killed this guy back then.
Lin Feng looked at him in surprise:
"You're actually using a cashier's check for five hundred million US dollars..."
He pulled out a checkbook, scribbled a check,
"It's only five hundred million, just a matter of one check."
Chan Kam-Shing was choked speechless.
The gambling judge confirmed that both parties' funds were correct and announced loudly:
"The gamble begins!"
+++
Chapter 358: All-in is a Great Wisdom
What?!
There's another gambling match?!
The audience, who had been sitting idly for two hours watching nothing, instantly grew excited.
To be honest, they weren't very satisfied with tonight's gambling match.
When top gamblers face off, shouldn't there be dazzling gambling techniques?
But no, Lin Feng had been going all-in from the very beginning.
Only in the last fifteen minutes did he stop going all-in.
The audience believed that Chan Kam-Shing must have been seething with anger, determined to decide the winner in the final round.
But who would have thought that with fifteen minutes left, Lin Feng suddenly stopped going all-in?
The roles of the two reversed, and he won outright.
A dark horse rising—this should have been a satisfying story.
But with this dark horse's approach... the audience didn't know where the satisfaction was; it was absolutely stifling!
They thought tonight would end like this, but who knew there was another gambling match?
A total wager of one billion US dollars made every audience member's eyes turn green.
This was a century-defining gamble.
This was an earth-shattering match.
The audience was in an uproar!
Kamiyama could feel the excitement of the audience around him, and he, too, felt a surge of passion.
However, deep down, he still had some worries.
"Mr. Lin shouldn't continue gambling against Chan Kam-Shing."
"Mr. Lin's victory just now was due to strategy, not skill."
"In terms of skill, Chan Kam-Shing is known as the Devil of Gamblers, ranking among the top ten… no, top five in the world!"
Kamiyama was so worried that his goatee was drooping.
"Haven't you understood yet? Chan Kam-Shing fell for the trap!"
Kamiyama turned back in surprise and saw Lin Ho-tung's excited face:
"My loss back then wasn't unjust!"
"I was manipulated by Mr. Lin from beginning to end, no injustice there!"
Kamiyama looked at Lin Ho-tung in confusion:
"Mr. Lian, what do you mean?"
Lin Ho-tung chuckled, looking at the check in his hand.
This was the money he won from betting on Lin Feng in the side bets.
A ten-to-one odds directly brought his net worth to fifty million.
This money came too fast, faster than drug trafficking.
"Kamiyama, haven't you understood yet?"
"Mr. Lin's actions for the past two hours were all for this current gambling match."
Ah?
Kamiyama's mind crashed:
"What did you say?"
Lin Ho-tung was very calm, and his sinister face actually showed a glimmer of wisdom:
"Don't you understand yet?"
"Everything Mr. Lin did was to provoke Chan Kam-Shing's anger."
"From beginning to end, Chan Kam-Shing never escaped Mr. Lin's calculations."
"Mr. Lin knew that after he went all-in, Chan Kam-Shing would definitely avoid his sharp edge, waiting for Mr. Lin to relax, and then decide the winner in the final round."
"That was Chan Kam-Shing's script."
"Who would have thought that Mr. Lin would play outside the norm?"
"In the last three rounds, he actually adopted Chan Kam-Shing's strategy. He didn't follow."
"Chan Kam-Shing, known as the Devil of Gamblers, possessed invincible gambling skills, but he was worn down by his own strategy."
"If it were you, could you tolerate it?"
Kamiyama pondered for a moment and said:
"I couldn't tolerate it."
"My gambling skills are clearly superior to the opponent's, yet I couldn't display them at all."
"I would definitely want to gamble with him again."
Lin Ho-tung chuckled:
"Exactly, you must gamble again."
"Otherwise, from now on, he will regret it so much every day that he won't be able to sleep."
Kamiyama nodded repeatedly:
"That's right!"
Lin Ho-tung smiled:
"If not for this mindset, how else would such a large gambling match have been formed?"
"One billion US dollars… even selling the entire Chung Yee Shun wouldn't be worth that much."
"Who wouldn't go crazy?"
Kamiyama smiled bitterly.
Let alone selling Chung Yee Shun, even adding him wouldn't amount to that much money.
"Chan Kam-Shing is a famous old fox in the gambling world. Normally, do you think he would participate in such a gambling match that could cost him all his capital?"
What?
Kamiyama looked at Lin Ho-tung in surprise:
"You mean, this was designed by Mr. Lin?"
Lin Ho-tung pouted,
"Isn't that obvious?"
"Chan Kam-Shing is still called the Devil of Gamblers, yet he couldn't see through such a simple setup."
Kamiyama fell silent for a moment.
He took a deep breath and said,
"I didn't see it either."
Lin Ho-tung glanced at Kamiyama indifferently, his eyes full of disdain.
The guys from Chung Yee Shun are very direct; they never hide their disdain.
"Mr. Lian is right about everything, but all of this has a premise."
Kamiyama didn't care about Lin Ho-tung's gaze; he had been in Hong Kong for years and knew all too well what kind of people Chung Yee Shun were—they were simply lunatics!
"That is, Mr. Lin's gambling skills must be superior to Chan Kam-Shing's."
"At worst, they should be evenly matched."
"Otherwise, the final outcome will inevitably be Chan Kam-Shing crushing Mr. Lin with his gambling skills."
"In this hall, if you ask anyone, they will all believe that Mr. Lin's gambling skills are not as good as Chan Kam-Shing's…"
Kamiyama was very certain.
Lin Feng was indeed formidable, but he shouldn't have continued gambling against Chan Kam-Shing.
The techniques of the Eight Masters of the Thousand Doors require diligent practice from a young age, and beyond that, extremely high talent.
Otherwise, don't even think about surpassing them.
This is their livelihood; Chan Kam-Shing has lived by this his entire life, and his skills are never a joke.
What about Lin Feng?
At most, it's just a hobby.
Challenging someone's lifelong profession with your hobby—isn't that just asking for trouble?
Five hundred million US dollars… I hope Mr. Lin won't be too severely hurt!
Kamiyama had no joy of seeing through everything; he was now burning with anxiety.
"I believe Mr. Lin can win."
Kamiyama looked in surprise at the speaker, who was none other than his personal bodyguard, Lung Wu.
"I also believe Brother Feng can win."
Kamiyama was dumbfounded; someone still believed Lin Feng could win?
He turned his head and saw Dai Fei, the recently rising boss of Macau.
"You… on what grounds?"
Kamiyama was utterly perplexed.
Isn't it obvious who will win or lose?
Lin Ho-tung and Dai Fei exchanged a smile, a feeling of mutual appreciation between them.
"Mr. Kamiyama, you don't know Mr. Lin's reputation in the underworld."
"If he says he can win, he definitely can."
"His word is gold, absolutely true."
Kamiyama was stunned.
He truly hadn't expected someone to trust Lin Feng so much.
"But he has never shown his gambling skills."
Even if Lin Feng performed in front of him, Kamiyama would still stick to his opinion.
Dai Fei chuckled:
"Then you are mistaken."
"Brother Feng's skills are very high, as high as two or three stories."
"It's just that he doesn't make a living from it, so he never shows them."
Lin Ho-tung wondered:
"Then why did he gamble with me at the Dragon Head banquet?"
Lin Ho-tung just said it casually, not expecting Dai Fei to know the truth. That gambling match back then had really messed him up.
Unexpectedly, Dai Fei actually knew:
"That gambling match… you'll have to go back and ask your big brother."
Lin Ho-tung's eyes widened:
"You know the truth?"
Dai Fei sighed:
"Of course."
"At that time, it was Brother Kun's Dragon Head banquet, and you alone occupied a table, making everyone uncomfortable."
"Your Chung Yee Shun's way of doing things will cause trouble sooner or later."
Lin Ho-tung was unconcerned:
"This is our style; this is how we do things."
"Never mind that, I went too far, and Mr. Lin stepped in to stop me, which is normal."
"But how did it get connected to my big brother?"
Dai Fei shrugged:
"You're famously addicted to gambling. Your big brother saw you gambling so wildly even at Brother Kun's Dragon Head banquet, and he was afraid you'd keep gambling like crazy."
"So he asked Brother Kun to have Brother Feng give you a small lesson."
Lin Ho-tung's face turned pale.
So that's how it was.
Lin Ho-lung had mentioned this to him before, but Lin Ho-tung himself hadn't believed it.
Now, with Dai Fei's testimony, the truth of the matter was instantly proven.
Lin Ho-tung sighed deeply, an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Dai Fei stopped speaking after that.
He was now in charge of the Macau gambling hall, and every day he saw nothing but gambling addicts.
Having seen so many people, he no longer tried to persuade people to quit gambling.
However, if any Hung Hing disciple in the Macau branch dared to gamble, Dai Fei would definitely give them a good beating.
Gambling addicts have no future.
Hung Hing doesn't accept such people!
He also kept his distance from the Chung Yee Shun people; they were all lunatics!
Kamiyama looked at the two in confusion:
"Mr. Lian, have you gambled against Mr. Lin before?"
Lin Ho-tung shook his head repeatedly:
"Don't flatter me; I don't have the qualifications to gamble against Mr. Lin. That was just a small lesson for me!"
After learning the truth, how could he dare to compare himself to Lin Feng?
Recalling what happened at the Dragon Head banquet, he was truly terrified.
From beginning to end, he was completely caught in Lin Feng's scheme, unable to extricate himself, without even the slightest power to resist.
What truly stung him was Lin Feng's gambling skills, revealed after the game.
He could get any card he wanted.
That was completely beyond ordinary cheating tricks.
Cheating, at its core, was similar to magic—both were deceptions.
But was what Lin Feng did at the time really cheating?
Lin Ho-tung pondered, asked himself repeatedly, but ultimately found no answer.
Chan Kam-Shing finally got his wish to resume gambling, looking at Lin Feng across the table, he took a leisurely puff from his cigarette:
"Mr. Lin, do you still want to play Stud Poker?"
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Stud Poker is a great wisdom, not something ordinary people can master."
"You don't understand."
Chan Kam-Shing nearly died of anger!
I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, and you're telling me I don't understand?
What don't I understand?
But just thinking that the other party was a Hung Hing boss, Chan Kam-Shing gritted his teeth and endured it:
"Then let's speak with our gambling skills."
He heavily emphasized the words "gambling skills."
Lin Feng shrugged:
"Then let's go!"
He waved his hand,
"Dealer, please deal the cards!"
The entire room fell silent.
Lin Feng's face-up card was a 3 of spades, Chan Kam-Shing's face-up card was a K of spades.
The dealer then dealt one hole card to each.
"K of spades is bigger, please speak."
Chan Kam-Shing chuckled:
"I'm going all-in."
Everyone gasped.
Lin Feng looked at him amused:
"I told you, Stud Poker is a great wisdom, you can't grasp it."
Even though Lin Feng hadn't looked at the cards on the table, he knew what both their hole cards were. He'saw' clearly that Chan Kam-Shing's hole card was an Ace of Spades, while his own hole card was an Ace of Hearts.
Lin Feng believed that Chan Kam-Shing must know his hole card.
After all, all the gambling tools had been marked by him.
Don't ask how Lin Feng knew; his intelligence system could be used as a warehouse, with a search function.
Anything within a twenty-meter radius was under his control.
With a quick scan, both their hole cards were clear.
Lin Feng glanced at the cards in the dealer's hand and immediately smiled.
Rival cards.
This dealer was also a troublemaker.
But, perfect!
"I call!"
Everyone whispered and exchanged glances.
They had originally thought this game would last several hours, but never expected it to be decided in a single round.
How exciting!
The excitement was yet to come.
The dealer dealt the cards in sequence.
Lin Feng's face-up cards were all spades: 2, 3, 4, 5.
Chan Kam-Shing's face-up cards were also all spades: K, Q, J, 10!
Definitely rival cards!
Everyone was stunned.
Everyone also became nervous; the key was the hole card.
Chan Kam-Shing chuckled:
"Mr. Lin, your luck is good, but my luck is even better."
"My hole card is an Ace of Spades!"
He flipped over his hole card, and it was indeed an Ace of Spades!
"Thank you for the concession!"
Chan Kam-Shing smiled very smugly.
Young people are just young people; it's good to know when to quit, but he actually dared to continue gambling against me.
Isn't this just giving me money?
Well then, I'll gladly accept it!
But he dared not say such words aloud.
The other party was the youngest boss of Hung Hing; it was possible that his words might provoke him, and if the other party didn't want him to leave, there would be no use running anywhere.
Kamiyama nearly collapsed onto the ground:
"It's lost after all!"
"Five hundred million US dollars!"
"I'm truly sorry, Mr. Lin."
The audience let out collective sighs.
Both of them had a straight flush.
It could be said that whoever got the Ace of Spades would win.
Now that the Ace of Spades was in Chan Kam-Shing's hand, Lin Feng had no way to turn the tables.
They had originally wanted to see Lin Feng win all the way, but he ended up losing.
The Devil of Gamblers was still the Devil of Gamblers.
Lin Ho-tung and Dai Fei exchanged glances, both wondering aloud:
"Impossible!"
"How could Mr. Lin lose?"
Kamiyama said in despair:
"The hole card has already been revealed, how can this be fake?"
Lin Ho-tung said seriously:
"The game isn't over yet, Mr. Lin won't lose."
The guys from Chung Yee Shun really were sick.
Chan Kam-Shing's hole card was an Ace of Spades; it didn't matter if Lin Feng's card was revealed or not.
Yet, he still believed Lin Feng could win?
He was clearly very sick.
Chan Kam-Shing chuckled:
"Judge, can you announce the winner of the game now?"
The Gambling Judge was about to announce the result of the game when Lin Feng smiled:
"My hole card hasn't been revealed yet."
"Five hundred million US dollars, we should at least see the hole card, right?"
Chan Kam-Shing shrugged:
"As you wish!"
The Gambling Judge nodded:
"Of course, you can reveal the hole card."
Lin Feng continued:
"Throughout this game, I haven't looked at my hole card, nor have I even touched the cards, so I don't want to break the rules."
"How about this, Judge, you help me reveal it?"
"Mr. Chen wouldn't object, would he?"
Chan Kam-Shing naturally wouldn't object.
He found it amusing.
Over two hours had passed, and Lin Feng hadn't even looked at his hole card, which was incredible.
At the very end, he still refused to touch the cards and wanted the Judge to help him reveal it?
How could there be such a gambler in the world?
Oh, the other party wasn't a gambler, he was a Young and Dangerous, so it was fine.
Chan Kam-Shing wasn't at all worried about what card the Judge would reveal; he hadn't cheated in this round.
He had arranged it long ago.
The work was all done outside the gambling table, so what was there to say?
The Gambling Judge was also helpless.
Having presided over gambling games for so many years, this was the first time he had seen such an oddity.
Not looking at the hole card for over two hours from start to finish was one thing, but in a game you're bound to lose, you still want to see the hole card?
Being unwilling to accept it was understandable.
The question was, why did he want him to reveal it?
He thought about the other party's identity—a Hung Hing boss, someone he couldn't afford to offend!
Anyway, there would be no surprise; just open it and give face to the Hung Hing boss. The gambling world was also part of the underworld, and perhaps he would need his help in the future.
It was just a trivial matter.
The Gambling Judge carelessly flipped the card, and just as he was about to announce Chan Kam-Shing's victory, he suddenly froze.
The audience shouted:
"Ace of Spades! Mr. Lin's hole card is an Ace of Spades!"
"How can there be two Ace of Spades in one deck of cards?"
Kamiyama, who had been slumped on the ground, suddenly stood up, both surprised and delighted:
"What's going on?"
Lin Ho-tung punched the air fiercely:
"I told you, Mr. Lin will definitely win!"
Chan Kam-Shing, who had been so sure of victory, nearly dropped his glasses, his face blank, and blurted out:
"How can it be an Ace of Spades? His hole card was clearly an Ace of Hearts!"
"You cheated!"
Chan Kam-Shing said this to the Gambling Judge, not to Lin Feng.
The Gambling Judge's face turned red, and he raised both hands:
"I specifically wore short sleeves for this game. You tell me, how did I cheat?"
"Where did I put the card?"
Chan Kam-Shing was speechless.
Clap, clap, clap!
Lin Feng clapped his hands from the side:
"My luck has always been very good; I believe in my luck."
"But how can there be two Ace of Spades in one deck?"
"Judge, you need to thoroughly check both sides' cards!"
The Gambling Judge immediately felt it made sense:
"The gambling game involves a total of one billion US dollars."
"This is a serious matter; we must check the cards!"
If he didn't check thoroughly, his reputation would be ruined.
Chan Kam-Shing loudly said:
"Yes, check the cards!"
Lin Feng clapped his hands:
"Check my cards first."
"I haven't touched the cards at all tonight from start to finish."
The Gambling Judge immediately checked Lin Feng's cards; the colors and suits matched.
Then he went to check Chan Kam-Shing's cards.
One card was fine, two cards were fine, three cards were fine, the fourth card was still fine.
Chan Kam-Shing was extremely angry:
"If your staff made a mistake and caused an error, I won't let you off."
This was five hundred million US dollars!
Who would be willing to accept that?
The Gambling Judge also broke into a sweat. If this were true, he would be humiliated worldwide.
The fifth card was Chan Kam-Shing's hole card, which was the Ace of Spades.
As the card was flipped over, the Gambling Judge gave Chan Kam-Shing a deep look:
"You dared to cheat right in front of us judges!"
"I announce the winner of the game, Lin Feng!"
Everyone was in an uproar.
Chan Kam-Shing was even more stunned:
"How is this possible?"
The playing cards used for the game had a golden back and irregular patterns.
However, Chan Kam-Shing's hole card was clearly blue.
Lin Feng sighed:
"Nine out of ten gambles are scams, and sure enough."
"In such an important occasion, you actually dared to cheat?"
"You're dead!"
Chan Kam-Shing was completely bewildered and shouted:
"I didn't cheat!"
However, everyone saw it; his hole card was wrong, he had indeed cheated!
