Medical Sage

”I, this, I—I...”

In fact, at that moment, Jack the Magician was genuinely stunned. Large beads of sweat uncontrollably burst from his forehead, and his pupils constricted in a look of complete shock. I’m Jack the Magician! The world’s seventh-ranked gambling king! But I just made a misjudgment? Impossible, absolutely impossible! A master! The top of the top masters! The words flashed through his mind, causing him to tremble as he looked at Chen Fei’s youthful Eastern face.

He was a world-class gambling king, Jack the Magician himself, so he was certain he hadn’t made a mistake when he rolled the dice. So what did this mean? It means the smiling young Eastern man managed to tamper with the dice, and I didn’t feel a thing! At this realization, Jack found his dark palms completely drenched in cold sweat. As the world’s seventh-ranked international gambling king, Jack knew his own capabilities all too well. He was confident no one could pull such a move right in front of him without being discovered. This is ludicrous. Oh God, am I seeing a ghost!?

Jack silently cursed to alleviate his tension. He then looked at Chen Fei with a stern expression and said, ”Oh, dear Mr. Chen, you’ve won this round! Let’s start the next one. Shall you roll, or shall I?” He no longer dared to underestimate Chen Fei in the slightest, and his gaze was filled with vigilance.

I just lost a hundred million! One hundred million US dollars!

”He actually won?” Chen Yaoyang was also dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected the dice to actually come up big, that Chen Fei had actually won! This filled him with both joy and shock. The joy was that they had just won a hundred million US dollars from their opponent! The shock was that he had just dared to recklessly doubt Chen Fei. Looking at it now, I was the foolish one! Considering Chen Fei had dared to come straight to the Nine Heavens of the Milky Way to challenge the casino, how could he possibly not have any assurance? With this thought, beads of cold sweat began to form on Chen Yaoyang’s forehead.

This was not the first time he had dealt with Chen Fei; in other words, he felt he understood the other party quite well. He knew Chen Fei seemed like an ordinary young man without any airs, but once he got angry or decided to handle someone, his opponents could only mourn. Because Chen Fei is a complete monster! A freak! Phew, could it be that not only is his strength terrifying, but his gambling skills are also world-class? Otherwise, how could he be so confident, going all-in from the start and winning one hundred million from the opponent! Chen Yaoyang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling his breath grow heavy. He realized Chen Fei’s smiling face exuded an immense, unshakable confidence, which made his heart tremble. Could it be that he never took that gambler seriously from the very beginning? If that’s true, then how terrifying must his gambling skills be… Chen Yaoyang hardly dared to imagine.

”I can roll, or if you want to, that’s fine too,” Chen Fei said with a chuckle. Although he had just won a hundred million US dollars, he actually felt incredibly embarrassed inside. He was just bullying the man.

Why? Because Jack had indeed rolled a ”Leopard”—three fives. But Chen Fei had simply used his Spiritual Energy to casually flip one of the dice mid-air. What was originally three fives became two fives and a six. Damn it, this is just blatant cheating, isn’t it? Even he himself felt embarrassed. His face flushed red, and his guilty eyes drifted about.

”Then I’ll roll this round. I don’t believe you can win against me again,” Jack said through gritted teeth. Even though Chen Fei had tricked him, he didn’t believe his opponent was truly better than him. He wanted another round, confident he could win.

”Sure,” Chen Fei nodded with a smile, then looked at Ke Xiangdong with mock dissatisfaction. ”But, shouldn’t you give me my winnings first? You can’t expect me to have played that round for nothing, right?” I feel a little bad, but damn it, this young master has been waiting for a while now, and still no money or chips. Are you kidding me? Such a big casino, one of the top six in Macau, can’t even front one hundred million? Or do you think I, Chen Fei, came to your casino just to play games for fun?

”Sorry, sir, your chips will be brought to you immediately.” Ke Xiangdong’s face fell, but he quickly responded, squeezing out a smile. He turned, his expression darkening as he took out his walkie-talkie to have someone bring the chips.

A short while later, the pile of chips on the table in front of Chen Fei had doubled, stacked up like a small mountain. The sight made Jack’s eyes redden. He grabbed the whiskey from the table and took another large swig.

CLINK, CLINK, CLINK...

He then picked up the dice cup and began shaking it with an expressionless face. His eyes, however, were locked on Chen Fei’s eyes and hands, determined not to let a single one of his movements escape his sight. Clearly, after taking such a huge loss, he no longer dared to treat Chen Fei like a rookie. He now knew Chen Fei was a top master, and he couldn’t afford any trace of condescension. His mind was highly focused and tense, and he was using his full strength.

THUMP.

”Please place your bets,” he said after a long moment, slowly setting the dice cup down on the table. He stared at Chen Fei, a sneer spreading across his face. This time, I’m sure all of his movements were under my observation. He had no chance for any foul play! Now let’s see if he can hear what I rolled. But that kid probably has no clue! Because I…

”Big. All in.” Before Jack could even finish his internal boast, Chen Fei laughed and interrupted him. He repeated the same, effortlessly cool gesture from before, sliding the tray with all his chips onto the ’Big’ space. This round, he bet two hundred million. All in again.

”All in again!?” Jack’s confidence wavered when he saw Chen Fei’s relaxed demeanor and indifferent smile. A sudden jolt of intense panic surged within him. Impossible, how can it be ’Big’ again? I clearly rolled stacked dice, with the three dice on top of each other, showing only a single point on the surface! How could it possibly be ’Big’ again?

The dice cup wasn’t even open, yet he was already starting to doubt himself, feeling on the verge of an emotional collapse. One could only imagine the immense pressure Chen Fei was putting on him, giving him the brief, chilling illusion that Chen Fei was the true king of gambling, while he, Jack the Magician, was just a novice.

For a moment, his large hand, clutching the dice cup, trembled, and he didn’t dare lift it. The cold sweat on his forehead grew more profuse, soaking the collar of his shirt. I, Jack, swear in the name of God that I rolled stacked dice, with just a single point showing! But now I don’t dare to open it…

”What’s going on, Jack? Why aren’t you opening it?” Seeing Jack suddenly sweating profusely, his hand visibly trembling, Ke Xiangdong’s heart jolted. Leaning in, he whispered ominously in Jack’s ear.

”I, you, I’m not...” Jack stammered, sweat pouring down his face, unable to explain the sudden panic that had overtaken him. Could it… could it really be ’Big’? Did I really roll a ’Big’ this time?

Seeing Jack’s expression, Ke Xiangdong’s heart leaped into his throat. He glanced at the two hundred million US dollars in chips Chen Fei had just pushed forward, a tingling numbness spreading across his scalp and his limbs turning to ice. He hissed through clenched teeth, ”Did you really roll a ’Big’ this time?” His expression was ghastly. Chen Fei just went all-in with two hundred million US dollars. If we lose again, we’ll have to pay that out plus the previous hundred million. That’s three hundred million US dollars! Even as the general manager of Nine Heavens of the Milky Way, I absolutely cannot withstand such a terrifyingly huge sum!

At that thought, cold sweat poured from his forehead like raindrops. Casinos aren’t charities, and I’m just the general manager! The real owner of this Nine Heavens of the Milky Way is the Hex Family of Macau! If they find out we lost three hundred million US dollars in just two rounds, they’ll flay me alive and throw my bones to the sharks!

”No, no, it’s not! I didn’t roll ’Big’! I guarantee it wasn’t ’Big’ this time!” Jack jumped to his feet, protesting vehemently. As if to prove himself, he fiercely gritted his teeth and snatched up the dice cup. I’m certain I rolled stacked dice, yet Chen Fei bet on ’Big’…

”Four, five, six. Big. Sorry about that, I win again.” Just as Jack lifted the cup, mustering the courage to look, Chen Fei was already smiling at the gambling table. His tone, however, sounded genuinely ”embarrassed.” Sheesh, I’m bullying people again…

”What, what? Four, four, five, six?”

The words struck Jack like a lightning bolt. He froze, his body wilting as his face turned a ghostly pale. How… how is this possible? I clearly rolled stacked dice, with only a single point on top! But now… Oh, God! How on earth did he do it!? The shirt under his jacket was completely soaked. His dazed eyes, filled with horror and disbelief, stared at Chen Fei. He felt on the brink of a mental breakdown.

”Four, four, five, six!? It’s really ’Big’! It’s… it’s really ’Big’!” Of course, it wasn’t just him; Ke Xiangdong was breaking down, too. He stood completely dumbfounded, his face ashen. Jack lost. That means the Nine Heavens of the Milky Way just lost three hundred million! That’s three hundred million! And in US dollars! How is this possible?
