Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1915: Chapter 1818: Led by the Nose

Semiya walked forward directly, and the breathing of the others at the table also became heavier, each pair of eyes fixed intently on the four hole cards in front of Huo Sining.

Even Alden’s gaze followed Semiya’s movements, a hint of tension faintly appearing on his face.

Huo Sining, however, smiled and said to Alden, ”Mr. Alden, you don’t need to be nervous, this is only the third game. Even if I lose to you this round, I still have more than sixty million in my hand, this isn’t the last game, you don’t need to rush to stand up.”

Alden’s mouth twitched as he thought to himself, if you weren’t nervous, would you let Semiya open your cards? Who’s making the atmosphere so tense, and now you’re teasing me?

Huo Sining still looked all smiles, but Alden was quite frustrated.

Semiya’s hand reached over and carefully uncovered the first card:

”Ah, it’s the 8 of Hearts, looks like, sister, your chances of forming a flush or straight are gone.”

Semiya cast a malicious smile at Huo Sining while over on the other side, Alden, seeing the 8 of Hearts, relaxed and slowly sat back down.

Huo Sining nodded and smiled, ”That’s really a shame, continue, there are more cards.”

Semiya was quite surprised that Huo Sining could remain so calm at this moment, but didn’t think much of it, just assuming the woman was pretending, probably bleeding inside.

She couldn’t help but look at Huo Sining with glee, reaching out to continue revealing the cards.

However, very quickly, the smile on her face started to fade, eventually freezing, as her heart sank directly.

The second and third cards were revealed in quick succession, causing Semiya to abruptly lift her head to look at Alden over there.

Both were Kings, precisely the last two Kings in this set, one Hearts, one Clubs.

Alden’s hand was three Queens, yet Huo Sining had three Kings, slightly better than Alden’s hand, and this was with Alden already holding another Spade King.

This time, the entire room fell silent, no one spoke again.

Everyone knew the odds of getting such a hand were quite low, yet Huo Sining had managed to get it.

Upon seeing Huo Sining’s three Kings, Alden’s mind went blank, and his face instantly turned pale.

Even though Semiya hadn’t revealed Huo Sining’s last card, based on the current cards, Huo Sining had already completely crushed Alden, this game was decided.

”Won, won, Ningning won!”

Seeing this, Su Qingqing and Li Jun’s group were instantly dumbfounded, stunned for a few seconds before bursting into laughter, happily high-fiving each other, the room that was quiet turned lively in an instant.

However, compared to the lively celebration on Huo Sining’s side, Alden’s side was silent, only Semiya incredulously murmured, ”How could this be?”

Windsor Caesar was also astonished by this round, but being the Croupier, he couldn’t express any personal sentiments, so he merely calmly announced the result:

”Mr. Alden has three Queens, Miss Huo Sining has three Kings, this round, Miss Huo Sining wins.”

The nearly thirty million chips in the middle of the table were all pushed to Huo Sining, this hand cost Alden twenty-three million chips.

Huo Sining smiled, and said, ”Mr. Duke, it seems my luck isn’t bad today, even Heaven is on my side.”

Clayflo’s eyes flashed with a slight shock and helplessness, but he still maintained a smile, ”Miss Huo, there is always more to come, this gambling session has just begun.”

Huo Sining’s lips curled as she gave Clayflo a peculiar smile, ”Oh really, maybe not.”

Clayflo thought Huo Sining meant that the eventual winner was uncertain, yet he didn’t grasp that her subtext was that this gambling session might not just be starting, perhaps it was nearing the end.

After all, it was only the third hand, although Alden lost nearly one-third of his chips, making him a bit sullen at the moment, his long-time casino experience allowed him to quickly adjust his emotions, his face regaining a calm demeanor.

Yet, beneath his calm exterior, a storm was brewing, inside Alden’s heart was quietly feeling pained, he hadn’t expected that the Huaxia woman before him would make him suffer such a considerable loss, biting such a large chunk off of him without even looking at the cards.

Moreover, although it had reached the fourth round, Alden still couldn’t fathom the woman’s tactic. From the start, she hadn’t once looked at her hole cards, and Alden was completely clueless about what path this woman was taking, leaving him with no entry point or response strategy.

Alden didn’t even know if the last round was this woman playing dumb to eat the tiger deliberately, or if it was just her sheer luck that she coincidentally hit on such a good hand.

Alden did not really believe that hand was crafted by the woman because, from his perspective, it didn’t add up.

Since from the beginning until now, this woman had never touched any card on the table, and if she could still set up a hand like that, Alden could only say that he must have met a formidable and tough enemy today.

But, after categorizing the previous hand as a matter of luck, Alden inexplicably felt a twinge of unease and anxiety.

At this time, Alden hadn’t yet noticed that his own momentum had subtly shifted from an intentional display at the beginning to gradually restraining, even slightly showing a trend of being suppressed by this Huaxia woman opposite him.

Huo Sining continued maintaining her previous posture, her previous smile, and the same gambling approach.

Never touching her hole cards, silently following bets, sometimes folding halfway, sometimes unexpectedly coming up with a large steal, and occasionally folding, throwing Alden into complete disarray, yet he could only helplessly follow this woman’s lead.

Alden himself felt something was off. In the next dozen or so hands, although he was winning most of the time, the wins were small stakes, winning several hands couldn’t even match the chip amount Huo Sining won with the previous hand.

More frustrating for Alden was that poker allows for folding; when he finally got a good hand, the Huaxia woman across from him seemed to know his cards and skillfully avoided every time.
