After Being Forced to Become a Bigshot, I Only Want to be Normal Chapter 84 - 84 Two Million for Nothing

Chapter 84 - 84 Two Million for Nothing

84 Two Million for Nothing

In the eyes of the people here, it was utterly foolish to not pick anything within the time limit. Even if they had picked one of the points at random before the countdown ended, it was still better than throwing away two million yuan for nothing.

However, even though they felt that it was foolhardy it also thrilled them greatly. Someone had given up on competing for a round and tossed out two million yuan as stakes for them; anyone would be excited about such a fortuitous event.

After the betting, it was time to flip the cards.

The crowd below erupted into a frenzy as they yelled the points they bet on.

A man in a black uniform standing in the middle of the table flipped open the first card with a gloved hand.

3 of Hearts.

It was impossible to discern anything from the first card, yet the atmosphere at the venue remained impa.s.sioned and feverish.

The next two cards were the 4 of Diamonds and 3 of Diamonds.

These were low cards. The patrons who had bet low instantly became hysterical and shouted even more vehemently.

As the cards were flipped, the fourth card was revealed in front of everyone.

A King of Spades.

Total points: 23.

This round allowed for a margin of one point, which meant that those who placed bets on 22, 23 and 24 were winners, and could take all the chips according to the rules.

The audience instantly broke into a furore. Some cheered while others despaired.

One voice stood out despite the commotion. “Why? Why?! Impossible! You people are cheating! It can’t be 23 points! Give me back my money!”

The outburst attracted the attention of everyone and the nearby security guards. They grabbed onto the person clambering onto the gambling table as he glared and cursed at the cards with a demented look in his eyes.

One of the security guards punched him in the gut, and the man let out a yelp before toppling onto the gambling table. The security guards immediately dragged him down and away.

The surrounding patrons looked on indifferently. No one was surprised; such scenes were commonplace here.

After the disturbance was removed, a new round of the game began.

The dealer changed to a new deck of cards and presented it to everyone. This was followed by a dazzling series of shuffles; under these circ.u.mstances, no one would be able to discern the cards clearly.

At the end, the shuffled cards were fanned onto the table. The dealer then picked out four cards and placed them in fixed positions before him, arranging them neatly.

A whistle sounded; the betting had begun.

The patrons around the gambling table placed their bets one after another. In the gla.s.s rooms, most of the people in front of the monitors would shoot a glance at the people on the sofa before making bets on the monitor.

In room no. 9, Song Wenqi’s lackey looked towards him and Lu Ning.

Lu Ning peered at the gambling table below and locked her gaze on the four cards.

The large display in the center kept showing more bets from the gla.s.s rooms.

Apart from gla.s.s rooms no. 1, 3, and 16, the other 17 gla.s.s rooms were all occupied.

The other 16 gla.s.s rooms had already made their bets, leaving only gla.s.s room no. 9.

Everyone looked towards room no. 9.

Upon closer inspection, one could see an imposing man sitting in the middle, as well as someone wearing loose clothes, a cap, and a face mask beside him; they could not discern their physique at all, or even their gender.

Finally, within five seconds of the countdown, Lu Ning said calmly, “11.”

The lackey was surprised. Such a low number?

However, there was no time to dwell on this. He immediately selected the points and entered the bet.

Before the whistle blew, the bet from room no. 9 was displayed on the big screen.

Almost everyone looked over, and all of them did a double take.
